    Now’s The Time To Serve

    Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Jan 18, 2022
    based on 2 ratings
     | 6,653 views

    Too many believers are waiting for the perfect scenario before they will serve the Lord. It’s an excuse that is often used for idleness and spiritual inactivity - the excuse that it’s not an ideal time or situation in which to serve.

    There is no ideal place to serve God except the place where He has set you down. - Eric Alexander(1) The Lord wants us to bloom where we’re planted, and to serve Him faithfully right where we are. He doesn’t want us to sit around waiting for the “perfect situation” before we serve Him. If we ...read more

    Awesome Vs. Foolish Series

    Contributed by Dr. Dave Hartson on Jan 20, 2022
    based on 2 ratings
     | 3,295 views

    Faith can appear to look foolish, and foolishness can appear to look like faith. It is what God has to say about the situation that determines if it is faith or foolish. So, I better be listening to God.

    INTRODUCTION In the Book of Hebrews, in the chapter that people refer to as the heroes of faith chapter, there is an interesting verse, if you take the time to sit down and dwell upon it. It is verse 29 and it says: Hebrews 11:29 (NKJV) 29 By faith they (referring to the Israelites) passed through ...read more

    The Power Of Your Worship Series

    based on 2 ratings
     | 5,617 views

    Satan loves to make situations which require simple faith and obedience complicated and confusing in order to get us off track. Jehoshaphat was able to overcome doubt - and ultimately defeat - through worshiping the Lord.

    God’s strategy was clear . . . the worshipers went first into the battlefield, and . . . the Lord miraculously defeated their enemies. - Mike Harland(1) If the Lord has ever asked you to do something for Him and you struck out early, then this message is for you! We’re going to find out that ...read more

    based on 1 rating
     | 2,273 views

    The answers that God will give to us, will be so astounding that it will be way beyond our human thinking and understanding. Irrespective of the kind of situations that we are challenged with, if the Lord is with us, we can come out victorious.

    God our Liberator We read in Psalm 91:15,“When they call to me, I will answer them; when they are in trouble, I will be with them. I will rescue them and honor them.” (GNB) As we continue our study on Psalm 91, we will meditate on verse 15 in its entirety and thereby try to comprehend all that ...read more

     | 1,226 views

    Godly leaders must possess humility, patience, and tact, just like Nehemiah. How we approach any situation, and the attitude we possess, will greatly affect our ability to lead and enjoy success.

    The Humility of a Godly Leader Nehemiah 2: 1-8 In the previous chapter, Nehemiah was made aware of the desperate situation in Jerusalem. While he was far removed from the city and the difficulties facing the remnant who had returned, Nehemiah was deeply burdened for the needs of the city and the ...read more

    Don't Lose Your Head!

    Contributed by Charles Mallory on Jul 11, 2024
     | 987 views

    Herod's bad decisions, compromise, and pride created a prime situation in which to be taken advantage of and tricked into executing John the Baptist. We can learn from Herod and learn not to be so gullible.

    THE EXECUTION OF JOHN THE BAPTIST HAS GOT TO BE ONE OF THE MOST INTRIGUING, TANTALIZING, AND SADISTIC PASSAGES IN THE NEW TESTAMENT. ONE MIGHT EVEN QUESTION HOW THIS PASSAGE OF SCRIPTURE COULD EVEN QUALIFY FOR A SUNDAY SERMON! JUST THE MARRIAGE ALONE, JOHN THE BAPTIST WAS CORRECT IN REBUKING HEROD ...read more

    based on 1 rating
     | 934 views

    There is an authority that God has bestowed on us as His children which many of us are not aware of. If we can understand who we are in Christ, our lives will change and so will the situations around us.

    We read in Numbers 23:24, “The nation of Israel is like a mighty lion: It doesn't rest until it has torn and devoured, until it has drunk the blood of those it has killed.” (GNB) Though this verse seems strange these are the words that were spoken by the Prophet Balaam about the people of ...read more

     | 3,246 views

    Think about all those seemingly impossible situations in your life. Here’s the good news! There’s nothing that is impossible with our God. Trust Him for our God specializes in impossibilities.

    We read in Psalms 77:1, “I cried to God with my voice...” (ESV) and in Psalms 77:14, “You are the God who works miracles ;”( GNT) In Psalms 77:11, he says, “I will remember your great deeds, LORD; I will recall the wonders you did in the past.” (GNB) In the previous message we considered how the ...read more

    In a world that bombards us with bad news, there is hope and good news only through Jesus Christ. The good news of the gospel can transform all of our situations if only we give heed and believe.

    Here’s what is recorded in Luke 2:10, but the angel said to them, "Don't be afraid! I am here with good news for you, which will bring great joy to all the people. (GNB) From the above mentioned verse, the word that I would like to highlight for our meditation is the word ‘good news’. ...read more

    Trials And Temptations

     | 1,276 views

    God tested the Israelites in the desert to know what was in their hearts, and tested Abraham’s faith by asking him to sacrifice Isaac. God allows external hardships or difficult situations produce good qualities in us.

    Opening illustration: Illustrate the difference between Temptation and Trial. Introduction: In the New Testament, the same Greek word (peirazo) is used for trial, test, and temptation. The basic meaning of peirazo is to test something to determine its response, value, or character. When peirazo is ...read more

    We wonder what can we do to fix our world; but I want you to know that no matter how much we try to fix a situation, it will and can only be fixed by divine intervention.

    In this day and time of murders, robberies, wars and infidelity, we can see that there is something wrong with our society today.
