    Forsaken By God? Series

    Contributed by Kerry Haynes on Mar 11, 2018
    based on 4 ratings
     | 16,134 views

    In his fourth word from the cross, Jesus expresses being forsaken by God. He points out to the exchange that happened that day: our sin on him, God's forgiveness on us. Our right response is to live thankful lives that count the cost of sin.

    Forsaken by God? Seven Last Words from the Cross Part 4 * Matthew 27:45-46 Have you ever been in a God-forsaken place? Maybe it was a TDY trip to the middle of nowhere. Worse yet, maybe it was a PCS! And the word “permanent” in permanent change of station becomes a curse. Or maybe your ...read more

    Revival Looks Like Turning

    Contributed by Paul Robinson on May 17, 2023
     | 2,009 views

    Revival is far more simple than we often think, but that doesn't mean it's easy.

    Turning is something we do every day. We turn to get out of bed, we turn to go in and out of rooms, we turn on the road, we turn to greet people. Turning is such a natural thing that we don’t even notice we are doing it. In Psalm 85, some conscious turning is taking place. God is turning from His ...read more

    Lessons From Jeremiah – Part 19 – Judah Is Heading For Big Trouble - And Lying Prophets Series

    Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Apr 29, 2024
     | 907 views

    Governments and rulers and institutions and people have turned away from God. Why is that we might wonder? Has the message been passed from one generation to another? Have the churches been faithful in relaying the gospel, or has Christianity become something infused into the culture?

    PERSONAL STUDY AND TEACHING IN JEREMIAH – PART 19 – JUDAH IS HEADING FOR BIG TROUBLE - AND LYING PROPHETS PART 19 - Jeremiah 5:10-27 CHAPTER 5 [A].

     | 2,503 views

    In our world today, many are doubting God and turning away from Him. So how can we strengthen our faith and remain faithful? We only need to remember that Christ will one day return and rid this world of all sin, immorality, and suffering.

    I want you to think about your spiritual life for a moment. How would you rank your spiritual life? Is it backsliding? Is it stagnant? Or is it growing? We're going to again use the Book of Revelation and a letter that Jesus wrote to the church in Thyatira to examine our own spiritual ...read more

    Standing Firm In The Last Days

    Contributed by Ronald Moore on Feb 7, 2025
     | 725 views

    Paul describes a society that has turned away from God, where people are consumed with self-interest, greed, pride, and ungodliness. His words sound eerily familiar, as if they were written for our own time. But they also contain guidance and encouragement for us as faithful Christians.

    “But understand this, that in the last days there will come times of difficulty. For people will be lovers of self, lovers of money, proud, arrogant, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy, heartless, unappeasable, slanderous, without self-control, brutal, not loving good, ...read more

    God is reminding us that trials are a part of the Christian life. Jesus never glossed over the challenges we face as His children. God reminds us that whatever trial we face, He is there waiting for us to turn it over to Him and stand strong.

    I want you all to think back with me as we begin this morning. Many of us looked forward to leaving high school behind with all of its challenges. Then we began to experience a whole new set of challenges in college or in the workplace. We began wondering what direction we were going to take in ...read more

    The lies are subtle, and they go deep down. They are rooted in painful experiences of hurt, of rejection, and the antidote is to discover what God’s truth says to those lies, and to hear that truth speak to those experiences.

    Turning Towards  Truth April 9, 2006 (Palm Sunday) John 18:28-38 Intro: Today is Palm Sunday, where we celebrate Jesus’ arrival in Jerusalem, where the people welcomed Him and celebrated Him as a King, singing hosanna’s, laying palms and even their cloaks on the ground for His donkey to ...read more

    This sermon tells about the symptoms of drifting away from God.

    Hebrews 2:1 I had an old Pastor that would tell me “Warning comes before destruction.” What he was saying is that before God sends down a judgement against a people. He always sends a warning as in the case of Jonah, and the city of Nineveh. I believe God sends us warning when we start drifting ...read more
