    Seated At The Table Of Brokenness

    Contributed by Michael Stark on Feb 22, 2019
    based on 3 ratings
     | 14,685 views

    Is there purpose in my pain? Does God care when I hurt? By examining the life of the Apostle Paul, we can gain an eternal perspective of why God allows us to be broken by the trials of this life.

    “I know a man in Christ who fourteen years ago was caught up to the third heaven—whether in the body or out of the body I do not know, God knows. And I know that this man was caught up into paradise—whether in the body or out of the body I do not know, God knows— and he heard things that cannot be ...read more

    How could my weakness be a good thing? Why would this truth be necessary for me to understand God’s will for my life?

    OPEN: A work crew had been working at a construction site for about a week when the company hired a new man to replace a man who’d been hurt the day before. He was a broad-shouldered, powerful young man and was a good worker… but he was also annoying. He was always bragging that he was stronger ...read more

    The Ultimate Christian Attainment: Union With God Series

    Contributed by Justin Steckbauer on Jun 19, 2024
     | 473 views

    We do not easily submit to all this burning up of dross within us. We do not want to be buried with Christ in his cross and alive with Christ in His resurrection. We naturally resist the death of self. Yet God helps us submit to the refiner's fire.

    Many great saints I’ve known, even in the Salvation army, many are retiring now, and they say that when they retire, they are grateful that God did not show them the entire path all the ups and downs because they would not have been able to handle the thought of it. But step by step, along the ...read more

    Unanswered Prayer

    Contributed by Richard Tow on Aug 7, 2024

     | 1,832 views

    What do we do when we have prayed and prayed for something with seemingly no results? Do we just keep repeating the prayer? Or is there a better way? In this message, we examine Jesus's teaching about prayer to discover answers to those questions.

    Intro Unanswered prayer is an issue we all face at one time or another. What do we do when we have prayed and prayed about something, and seemingly there are no results? I have a couple of situations like that going on in my life right now. Some of you may be dealing with the same thing in your ...read more

    The account of Jesus' suffering and death on our behalf has become so familiar that if we are not careful we can skim right through it when reading the Bible and never give it a second thought. Let's look at it again to day with fresh eyes of wonder.

    Let's stand and read together our memory Scripture for this first quarter of 2018. 2 Timothy 2:11-13 “Here is a trustworthy saying: If we died with Him, we will also live with Him; if we endure, we will also reign with Him. If we disown Him, He will also disown us; if we are faithless, He remains ...read more

    What Does Jesus Look Like? Series

     | 4,552 views

    If you could use a single word to define Jesus what would it be? Love comes to mind, maybe forgiving, merciful, kind? How about the Word “grace”?

    What Does Jesus Look Like? Art Good (For “Mirror Image” Series March 25, 2007) If you could use a single word to define Jesus what would it be? Love comes to mind, maybe forgiving, merciful, kind? How about the Word “grace”? Great word – grace. I have said a number of times that I long to ...read more

    28 The Book Of Galatians – Chapter 6:11-13 - Message 28 – Paul Extends Himself To The Limits And Another Expose´ Of Those Who Were False Series

    Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Apr 11, 2025
     | 46 views

    What was the large letter formation Paul used? Why did he use that? DO NOT compromise the faith or deny the faith because you are afraid of persecution. In Galatia they were abandoning the faith to avoid trouble. Very special note for younger Christians.

    28 THE BOOK OF GALATIANS – CHAPTER 6:11-13 - Message 28 – PAUL EXTENDS HIMSELF TO THE LIMITS AND ANOTHER EXPOSE´ OF THOSE WHO WERE FALSE As we near the end of this heartfelt letter to the Galatian churches, Paul touches on a personal matter that raises much speculation, and he delivers ...read more

    God not only showers us with Saving Grace but also with Enabling Grace. No matter how difficult situations may become, His grace is sufficient to meet every need.

    GRACE SUFFICIENT—Numbers 33:50-56 and II Corinthians 12:1-10 I have always appreciated Robert Frost’s poem “The Death of the Hired Man” since first reading it as a junior in high school.

     | 45,744 views

    God wants us to know weakness, so that glory is given to him and not to ourselves because in our weakness God’s grace shines.

    Are you satisfied with your life? What I mean is this: Are you content? Are you happy with what you have been given? Or are you the kind of person who is constantly searching – moving from one activity under heaven to another? It is necessary for us to ask such searching questions because, ...read more
