Keys To Contentment

Contributed by John White on May 8, 2010

We are not necessarily called to be happy, but are commanded to be content.

KEYS TO CONTENTMENT Philippians. 4:1 - 19 Do you remember the prayer of the impatient Christian? It goes something like this, "Lord please give me patience, and I want it right now!" We also know that when we pray for patience we may be praying for trouble because experience and scripture tell us ...read more

Ruth Reaping (In The Field) Series

Contributed by Robert Leroe on Feb 21, 2010

God directs our paths and turns our trials into blessings; He works behind the scenes in Ruth chapter two. Ruth doesn't despair but gets to work.

The tragic atmosphere of Ruth chapter one changes dramatically in chapter two. In the opening verses we see Ruth undaunted by her plight. She could have chosen Naomi’s despair and bitterness, but instead she looks to God’s provision as she heads for the fields. Ruth wasn’t a ...read more

Inshallah… And Wait

Contributed by David Dunn on Oct 10, 2025

To say Inshallah is not to delay life but to dedicate it — to live surrendered to the will of God, waiting in faith and walking in obedience until His “Mashallah” comes.

Introduction – The Word That Waits I once heard a story about a missionary who had served for twenty years in Lahore, Pakistan. He had learned many things in those two decades — how to drink tea politely, how to haggle in the market, how to stay calm when the electricity cut out for the fifth time ...read more

From Sweet To Bitter

Contributed by Rodelio Mallari on Apr 13, 2011

Though this book is, for the most part, about the main character (Ruth), let us also observe how this story unfolds for a second character, another woman named Naomi – Ruth’s mother-in-law. We shall look at four reasons why Naomi went from sweet to bitter

Intro: The Book of Ruth is rich in interesting paradoxes. It opens with a terrible famine and closes with a great feast. It begins with three sad funerals and ends with one happy wedding. In it we see some excellent examples of faith, patience, humility, industry, and kindness in the common events ...read more

A Moment Of Decision Series

Contributed by Duane Wente on May 8, 2023

Mordecai and Esther’s coziness became challenged when Haman ordered the eradication of the Jews. The time had come for them to stand up and speak out for God. Are we willing to stand up and speak out for what is right? Maybe we have been put where we are for such a time as this!

A Savior Is Born Series

Contributed by Ed Vasicek on Dec 28, 2018

The way Jesus came into the world and the events surrounding that first Christmas affirms so much of what we believe as Christians.

A Savior Is Born (Luke 2:1-20) 1. This is a true story. Freddie and John were fortunate enough to have a season ticket to watch Chelsea soccer in the UK.

Facidng The Storms Of Life

What? Me Worry?

Contributed by Craig Condon on Aug 3, 2015

Thanksgiving is more than just a day. It is a lifestyle. It is more about our attitude than it is about platitudes; about the virtue of giving thanks for all that we have received from God. It is an attitude of gratitude for everything God has provided.

A country preacher decided to skip services one Sunday to spend the day hiking in the wilderness. Rounding a sharp bend in the trail, he collided with a bear and was sent tumbling down a steep grade. He landed on a rock and broke both legs. With the angry bear charging at him from a distance, the ...read more

The Test Of A Stranger Series

Contributed by Scott Maze on May 24, 2021

Watch Joseph’s strategy here. Joseph is alternating the sun and the frost in order to break the brothers open to God. When things alternate between really hot and really cold, it breaks things. It breaks the ground.

We’ve called Joseph’s life a roller-coaster… … where his dips included two years of languishing in prison and eleven years of slavery. And we meet him in today’s story, he’s been promoted over the world empire, Egypt, and second only to Pharaoh inside the world’s most important nation of the time. ...read more

God Causes It All Series

Contributed by Ian Du Pisanie on Mar 8, 2012

God is incomplete control of His creation. The lies of a natural force or of 'mother nature' not only contradict Scripture but take away from God the fact that He, and He alone is sovereign.

Psalm 139: 1-18 Last time we had a look at the idea that many have, in which the universe is run according to a mechanistic system, and that God is not in control over the things that happen in the world. There are many who believe that any ‘intrusion’ from outside, including that of ...read more

Contributed by Derek Geldart on Nov 26, 2024

The sermon "The Blessing of Provision" emphasizes that true security and contentment come not from material wealth or human efforts, but from trusting in God's unfailing provision, finding joy and peace in His eternal sufficiency, and living with gratitude and faith.

Called To Be Conquerors, Conformed To Christ

Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Jun 2, 2017

If God be for us, who can be against us?

CALLED TO BE CONQUERORS, CONFORMED TO CHRIST. Romans 8:26-39. We are, it seems, surrounded by “infirmities” (Romans 8:26). These may be caused by lack of strength (which is what the word means), emotional weakness (including ‘burnout’), financial hardships, sickness, or sin. Paul also speaks of ...read more

Contributed by Ken Mckinley on Oct 14, 2019

This is the 27th sermon in a series on the Gospel of John. In this sermon we discuss Jesus healing the man who was born blind, and how that displays the glory of God. We look at some misconceptions people might have about illness, and focus on God's sovereignty and purposes in all things.

Unsearchable Purposes, Unspeakable Glory! (John Part 27) Text: John 9:1-3 I don’t know about you, but to me it doesn’t seem like it was that long ago when we started this series on John.
