    Contributed by Johnny Wilson on Mar 23, 2009
    based on 4 ratings
     | 2,776 views

    Living victoriously has much in common with David’s victory over Goliath. The shepherd didn’t act in faith that hadn’t already been tested; he acted according to his consistent experience with God.

    When I was young, I was a huge fan of the Walt Disney version of Zorro. I loved the idea of a person who would dress up in a costume, ride a beautiful horse, and cross swords triumphantly with the forces of injustice and oppression—though I would have defined those forces merely as “the bad guys” ...read more

    An Old Testament Arguement For Faith Series

    Contributed by Dennis Davidson on Jun 26, 2009
    based on 14 ratings
     | 7,994 views

    Paul turns to the objective evidence of the Word of God. We never judge the Scriptures by our experience but test our experience by the Word of God. This section quotes 6 OT Scriptures. Salvation is by faith in Christ, not by works of law.

    GALATIANS 3:6-14 AN OLD TESTAMENT ARGUMENT FOR FAITH Having dealt with the Galations’ subjective experience of receiving the Holy Spirit, Paul now turns to the objective evidence of the Word of God.

    based on 30 ratings
     | 5,019 views

    A sermon about the feeding of the 5,000, using two small fish and five small loaves. How this was a lesson that was followed up by a test on the lake that evening. And how we can use that to develop our own faith.

    One day in the middle of the woods, a hawk, a lion, and a skunk were arguing about which one was the most powerful. The hawk said it was because he could fly down and catch his dinner so quickly they could not get away. The lion said he could run the fastest and had the bigger teeth to eat ...read more

    Job 1: Job's first test. Do we devote ourselves to God because He gives us blessings, or does He give us blessings because we devote ourselves to Him?

    How do you react to devastation in your life? I think that, with most people, the worse our tragedies are, the worse our reactions will be. And while that is a human instinct, is it a Godly instinct? Let’s take a look at the book of JOB today and see if there is anything we might be able to ...read more

    We need to filter out those things that will affect our thinking and then we need to make sure we test our thoughts and motives against the highest demands of the Kingdom, that is, inner purity and godly love.

    Jesus defined the crucial test of friendship when he said on the night before he was crucified, “Greater love has no man than this, but that he lay down his life for his friends”.

    In 1930, a movie was made about World War I called “All Quiet on the Western Front”. In one scene, some American soldiers were talking. One soldier asked, “Where do wars come from anyway?” Another replied, “Well, one country gets mad at another country, and they start ...read more

    Spiritual Warfare: Not Having Enough Power

    Contributed by John Gaston on Aug 29, 2021
     | 3,427 views

    The nine disciples had insufficient power to deliver the boy who had a spirit. I believe that many Christians would also fail this test. Why? We need a bigger connection to the Holy Spirit by prayer and fasting.

    SPIRITUAL WARFARE: NOT HAVING ENOUGH POWER Mark 9:14-29 INTRODUCTION A. HUMOR 1. A man bought a new Tesla Roadster. He had two sons. One of them asked him, “Dad, if you die, who will inherit your new Tesla?” 2. He pondered the question & said, “If I pass away on an even day, the son born ...read more

    Peace with God is nothing to be taken lightly; it took God’s immense sacrificial love to attain, and its effects in our life can be surprising, it includes walking through difficult times.

    Proven Love (Romans 5:1-11) 1.

     | 828 views

    All cards on the table now: I would have been skeptical had I been there that day. I would have been looking around to see if someone else brought food. Had He only fed the multitudes, I probably would have never believed this story.

    Today, we look at one of Jesus’ most famous miracles. We look at when He feeds the multitudes with a boy’s sack lunch. In just a few moments, we invite all believers in Christ to take the Lord’s Supper with us. Invitation After today’s message, you will be invited to respond to Jesus’ offer of a ...read more

     | 587 views

    Jonah was a prophet of God sent with a prophetic word for the people of Nineveh. In today’s context, ‘How can we discern who is a true prophet of God and who are false?’ God’s word gives us clear instructions on how to test and treat prophecies.

    We read in Jonah 3:3-4, “So Jonah arose, and went unto Nineveh, according to the word of Jehovah. Now Nineveh was an exceeding great city, of three days' journey. And Jonah began to enter into the city a day's journey, and he cried, and said, Yet forty days, and Nineveh shall be ...read more

    It’s the first big test of God’s promises for Joshua, and now there’s this big obstacle in front of him. Can we face the barriers in our lives with the same faith he faced Jericho with?
