Sermons on The Endurance Of Job:

Life Is Short

Contributed by Mitchell Leonard on Jan 21, 2022

A three point sermon on how short life is but the hope we have in Jesus.

I have preached right around 75 funerals these past 8 years that I’ve been Pastor here. I’ve been with several people as they went off into eternity. I have dealt with death. But these last two years or so has been kind of tough because I’ve dealt with DEATH in a different way. Did you know ...read more

Revival Through The Whisper Of Water SermonCentral

Contributed by SermonCentral on Sep 10, 2023

A sermon inspired by the metaphorical language of Job 14:7-9, illustrating how a seemingly dead tree can spring back to life at the mere 'whisper of water'. God calls us to be carriers of this life-giving water.

Today, I want to share a message inspired by the poetic language found in Job 14:7-9. In this passage, Job speaks of a tree that appears dead and without hope, but miraculously comes back to life at the "scent of water." This imagery reminds us that God wants us to be like water carriers, bringing ...read more

Dig Deeper Youth Sermon

Contributed by Youth Sermons on Sep 5, 2023

True wisdom is not easily found or bought, but comes from a deep relationship with God.

Today, we're trying to figure out what wisdom is, where to find it, and how to use it. Imagine playing Minecraft. You're searching for diamonds, right? You can't find them just by wandering around. You have to dig deep, explore caves, and sometimes fight off some creepers. Just like finding ...read more

The Good Soldier

Contributed by Byron Sherman on May 29, 2011

Paul encouraged Timothy by explaining his expected level of personal commitment to his calling in Christ Jesus. The level of commitment to fulfill one’s calling in Christ must mimic/equal/rise to/be comparable to/ that of a good soldier.

The Devil Wants You

Contributed by Rodney Fry on Jan 18, 2011

If you have never met the Devil, it is because you and the Devil are going in the same direction. You remember the Devil in the case of Job? He had been walking up and down, seeking whom he might devour (1 Peter 5:8). He is always on the job.

SEMON THE DEVIL WANTS YOU LUKE 22:31-34 Introduction I. There is a Devil. A. Isaiah 14 and Ezekiel 28 talk about the fall of Lucifer. B. Jesus said that there is a Devil. 1.

Train Your Child In The Way Of The Lord

Contributed by James Dina on Jul 22, 2020

The holy practice of Job is reflected in the care of his children. Every time his children would party, he would always be there to offer a sacrifice (Job 1:4-5). How many fathers really ever get to think about the consequences of their children’s sins?

TRAIN YOUR CHILD IN THE WAY OF THE LORD "His sons used to hold feasts in their homes on their birthdays, and they would invite their three sisters to eat and drink with them. When a period of feasting had run its course, Job would make arrangements for them to be purified. Early in the ...read more

Fidelity To God's Call

Contributed by Ian Hyde on Apr 1, 2019

When we hear the word “prophet”, we often think of someone whose primary job is to tell the future. But prophets had a much more important job: they were called to bring the hard truth to God’s people, so that they would realize their need for reconciliation with God.

INTRODUCTION When we hear the word “prophet”, we often think of someone whose primary job is to tell the future. We might equate the term with “soothsayer”, “seer,” or even in a non-Christian context, “fortune teller”. We most often judge a prophet by whether or not their words come true. There is ...read more

God Created Us To Love

Contributed by Greg Nance on Jan 23, 2013

God’s love is the ultimate reality and truth. Nothing compares with God’s love. Nothing can separate us from God’s love. But we must accept God’s love.

Consider this: 1. God created you to love you and God wants you to spend eternity with Him. 2. God has an enemy who hates you and wants you to spend eternity in Hell away from God. 3. The nature of God’s love demands that we have the power to choose whether we accept or reject the love of God. ...read more
