Triumphing In Life's Challenges SermonCentral

Contributed by SermonCentral on Sep 11, 2023

Victory is closer than you think, as you are destined to triumph. There is an unbreakable force within you, the divine life, which guarantees your victory in all life's challenges. This force is activated by the new birth.

Introduction: Life is a constant battle, and to succeed, we must be willing to fight. Victory is within reach for those who believe they are born to win. The key to triumph lies in the indomitable spirit within us, the God-kind of life that begins with new birth. 1. Job: Despite losing everything ...read more

Stewardship Is Lordship

Contributed by Jerry Flury on Sep 27, 2002

When we think of stewardship, we often see it merely as a matter of our giving of money to God and the church. Giving of tithes and offerings is an important aspect of stewardship, but secondary. Stewardship is a reflection of my relationship with God.

Stewardship is Lordship Proverbs 3:5-10 Trust in the LORD with all your heart; and lean not unto your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct your paths. Be not wise in your own eyes: fear the LORD, and depart from evil. It shall be health to your navel, and marrow ...read more

They Saw God! Series

Contributed by Greg Nance on May 3, 2001

No one has seen God, or have they? Jesus said, "If you have seen me, you have seen the Father." Think of it! Where can you and I see God today?

Do you like family pictures? When Jennifer was born we took thousands of pictures of her. She would smile and we’d snap another picture.

Do Not Be Deceived!

Contributed by Melvin Newland on Jan 24, 2001

Maybe we think we have pulled the wool over God’s eyes, that God doesn’t see what we are doing, or know what is going on inside our hearts & minds.

MELVIN M. NEWLAND, MINISTER RIDGE CHAPEL, KANSAS, OK A. When you were a child did you ever have a special place, a secret place where you could go & be all alone? ILL. I heard a story once about a boy who did. On the back of their property was an old fruit tree. It had ...read more

The Gifts Go On

Contributed by Dan Erickson on Jan 28, 2001

We will explore what Paul teaches about spiritual gifts. I think a great deal of controversy could have been avoided on this topic if people would have simply studied this a little more closely.

Church conflicts happen for pretty unusual reasons. In the 1890s there was a small Baptist church in Mayfield County, Kentucky. The church had just two deacons, and those two men seemed to be constantly arguing and bickering with each other. On a particular Sunday, one deacon put up a small wooden ...read more

Time At Last To Open The Mystery Package Series

Contributed by Joseph Smith on Jun 8, 2003

Israel, Rome, and we all think we have God figured out. God has in Christ done so much more; and when it looks as though the wrappings must be thrown away, there is more yet.

With all wisdom and insight he has made known to us the mystery of his will, according to his good pleasure that he set forth in Christ, as a plan for the fullness of time, to gather up all things in him, things in heaven and things on earth. Every child ought to have at least one mystery package. ...read more

Let Your Light Shine

Contributed by Amat Fernandez on Jun 28, 2003

How do leaders think, speak, dream, and view their life. You should be the best Leader that God intended You to Be. "There is a giant asleep within everyone. When that giant awakens, miracles happen."

Just Say No Series

Contributed by Joseph Smith on Jul 24, 2003

Like Job’s friend Zophar, we eagerly find faults with others, thinking that pointing out their mistakes is all that is needed, and failing to build a relationship first. Contrast with Christ, who "became sin" for us.

We are studying the very human issue of faultfinding during this Lenten season. We are using the story of Job and his friends, if you call them that, as they tried to console him, no, really, instruct him in his misery. Eliphaz, Bildad, and Zophar, three miserable comforters, Job said, because ...read more

The Interview

"Don't Be Surprised" Series

Contributed by Marilyn Murphree on Apr 8, 2005

Do you often think that because God doesn’t answer prayer quickly that He is not going to answer at all? That doesn’t matter. Don’t be surprised WHEN He answers your prayer.

Iliff and Saltillo UM Churches April 10, 2005 “Don’t Be Surprised” Acts 12:11-19 INTRODUCTION: When has God surprised you by intervening in a situation that you thought was hopeless?
