    Sometimes, as a result of heavy and burdensome trials, a feeling of helplessness, hopelessness, and despair may set in upon the child of God. This is not uncommon and should not be viewed as such. This sermon shows how to have hope in Christ.

    Hope Thou In God Scripture Reading: Psalm 42 [Living Bible] As the deer pants for water, so I long for you, O God. [2] I thirst for God, the living God. Where can I find him to come and stand before him? [3] Day and night I weep for his help, and all the while my enemies taunt me. "Where is ...read more

    For Christians Psalm 22 is a "messianic" psalm. But when it was written many would have seen the picture of a man struggling with doubt and despair, who overcame that hopelessness by what his mother taught him.

    OPEN: An anonymous son wrote the following observations about his mother. He said that: His Mother taught him LOGIC... She once asked: "If everyone else jumped off a cliff would you do it too?" His Mother taught him MEDICINE... "If you don’t stop crossing your eyes, they’re going to freeze that ...read more

    We often fall into despair when we think of Jesus as only a model to learn from. When temptation comes, it is Jesus who is victorious and to overcome temptation we must defer to Him.

    Hi, thank you for looking at this sermon. I hope it helps. Please do not say the sermon did not help you just because you did not like the style or could not use the entire message for your own needs. I have discovered a few souls automatically hit the ’did not help me’ button if the message they ...read more

    A positive attitude enables a man to break new and higher grounds and position himself where he wants to be. A negative attitude makes one to rot in a place with the spirit of complaining and despair rule.

    TAKING THE LIMITS OFF OF GOD NUMBER 23:19 Many are not able to achieve success and greatness in all of life endeavors because of the several barriers before them. People talk about breakthroughs showing that there are forces and things limiting them, so they want the mighty power of God to break ...read more

    Sometimes we find ourselves in life-storms and after exhausting every method of deliverance, including prayer, we despair and give up. Very often Christ comes at just these precise moments.

    THE FOURTH WATCH OF THE NIGHT INTRODUCTION. We’re going to take a little trip with Jesus across the sea of Galilee. Actually, calling it a “Sea” is a bit of a overstatement. It’s a lake. A big lake, but a lake all the same, 15 mi. long and 8 miles wide. TEXT. Matthew 14.22 Immediately Jesus ...read more

    In recent days, our Government has been locking down Churches in order to contain the spread of the CoVid -19m Virus. Instead of despair, I see a revolution in our missioning

    We live in a world that is filled with crime; slider crimes, drive-by’s, and various ‘get rich quick schemes.’ No wonder there’s so much confusion, despair, and hopelessness in the world.

    The Bible tells us in Hebrews 11:1-3: “Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. For by it the elders obtained a good report. Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things ...read more

    Debt traps us in a life of despair. And it goes much deeper than financial debt. Jesus provides the only escape from a deeper, darker debt that is propelling us forward to a day of reckoning.

    Good morning. My name is Bobby Gilles; I’m on staff here. For the past few weeks we’ve been preaching through the Lord’s Prayer, a prayer Jesus taught us to pray. Today we arrive at the final two verses: “Forgive us our debts, as we also have forgiven our debtors. and lead ...read more
