When The Fig Tree Does Not Bud Series

Contributed by Roy Newton on Nov 7, 2011

As we consider the outcome of Pharaoh's dreams, seven years of abundance followed by seven years of famine, we see that Joseph learnt to trust God not only in abunsance but also in disaster both of which are under God's sovereign control.

Manure And The Problem Of Evil Series

Faith Is More

Contributed by Mark Haines on Mar 12, 2007

I’m calling God’s people in my care to develop a faith in Jesus that goes beyond mental assent (belief) to include emotional reliance (trust) and active obedience (loyalty).

Introduction: The Bible tells us that "without faith it is impossible to please God" (Hebrews 11:6). The Bible says, "The righteous will live by faith" (Romans 1:17). That makes me think that faith is very important -- even vital. But what is faith? The Bible commands us to "stand firm in the ...read more

Giving God Our Leftovers Series

Contributed by Dan Raymond on Dec 7, 2015

We continue looking at the astounding mathematics of grace by looking at a widow's very small offering that Jesus says is more than anyone else gave. I also have graphics available.

(Show video of comedian Anthony Griffith talking about hand-me-downs) That's funny. Hand-me-downs, leftovers; those things are okay I guess if you're talking about old clothes or your mom's cooking. But there are other times when leftovers aren't such a good idea: handkerchiefs, motor oil, maybe ...read more

Do You Know Him?

Contributed by Bruce Ball on Nov 7, 2014

More of an exhortation type proclamation on who Jesus is. The better we understand Him, the more we will be able to trust Him, and the more we will be able to surrender to Him.

As Christians, we are always energized when we see others coming to Christ and surrendering their own wills over to His will for them. But as glorious of a thing as that is, it is also the main reason why more people do not come to Christ: Because they would have to surrender their own wills to ...read more

Father Abraham

Contributed by Kimberly Belken on Aug 23, 2020

The faith of Abraham made him righteous. Through the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus, our faith makes us righteous and leads us to trust in God and God's promises. We never know what these promises will mean for us, but we can know that God works them together for our good.

Lord Of The Storm

Contributed by Reuben Bredenhof on Mar 21, 2021

As Lord of all creation, Jesus won’t let anything stop his plan to redeem sinners. So there is nothing more powerful than these words of comfort for his believers: “It is I.” His words overcome all our fears: “I am Jesus. Do not be afraid.”

It is humbling to stand at the edge of the ocean. Looking out over the water, seeing the pounding surf and hearing the noise of the breakers, you realize your smallness. This is creation’s awe-inspiring power. And it’s not only impressive, it can also be dangerous. Sometimes the surfers have to ...read more

Contributed by Dean Courtier on Nov 21, 2025

Faith Futures At Record High - 1 Peter 1:7-9 Series

Contributed by Darrell Ferguson on Nov 28, 2024

Probably the most worn-out prayer there is, is that one-word reaction we always have when we suffer, “Why? Why is this happening?” Peter gives us the answer.

1 Peter 1:6 In which you rejoice, a little while, if necessary, you may be grieved in multifaceted trials, 7 in order that the proof of your faith (more precious than gold, the perishing through fire, but proved), it may be found toward praise and glory and honor in the revelation of Jesus Christ, ...read more
