     | 5,471 views

    Sometimes God allows things to get difficult so He can produce greater joy in and through and with us. Jesus knew that His Father often used tragedy to cause people to look to heaven for solutions to their problems.

    John 15:11-16 Illustration: A cynic asked an elderly believer who had endured great physical pain for 20 years, "What do you think of your God now?" The godly sufferer replied, "I think of Him more than ever." Sorrow can be the means of bringing us heart-to-heart with God. When repeated strokes ...read more

    based on 14 ratings
     | 4,260 views

    Saul’s experience on the Damascus Road proves that God is more powerful than any Terrorist. Saul’s "religion" was keeping him from "relationship"with Jesus Christ.

    Intro: Suppose Osama Ben Laden, Sadaam Hussein, or another famous terrorist leader was reported to have been converted to Christ. While many would be skeptical most would agree that God’s power had been at work and a Miracle had taken place. Such a miracle happened to the terrorist named Saul. ...read more

    Turning Tests Into Testimonies

     | 9,400 views

    To advance through the predetermined goals that God ordains in each of us, He sends tests. Sometimes we cannot go on to the next exam until we finish the one we are in. With this perspective, we march forward with the help and grace of God.

    Turning Tests into Testimonies James 1:12-16 When James tells us do not err, I believe it means not to misunderstand what his point is in vs. 12, 13. There is an explanation why in one verse James relates temptation with God, and in the next says it isn’t God who tempts. In the original wording ...read more

    Everyone life needs a turning point. Abraham found his when he chose to believe the promise of God. He just believed and was counted as set-right-with-God.

    Your Turning Point I want to share a very simple yet very powerful message for your life tonight. It does not matter where you find yourself in life.

    Turn Aside And Look Series

    Contributed by Joseph Smith on Mar 1, 2009
    based on 4 ratings
     | 11,399 views

    We so often live with tunnel vision. But if we turn aside and look at what God is doing, we will find an experience that will not end, a mission that will direct our lives, and a presence that will never leave us.

    I confess to a malady known as “tunnel vision”. Tunnel vision is being able to see only what is straight ahead, as if I were going through a tunnel, and there is nothing to see on the sides, only the light at the end of the tunnel. Tunnel vision is not so much a condition of the eyes as it is of ...read more

    Piety / A Turning Point

    There are two main defects that can effect a Pious Life: (1) they have a mistaken version of Piety as Holy Joe and Mechanical Martin or (2) they knowingly reject Piety for self-fulfillment like Phil the Pharisee.

    After some research I discovered a couple of things that are commonly mistaken for Piety. Piety is not being a quote a Holy Joe We all have are own conception of a Holy Joe, but there are some common basic characteristics. A Holy Joe will go to church, why ( Pause) because their family has ...read more

    A Rebuke Turned Back Series

    based on 3 ratings
     | 4,639 views

    Jesus turns from silence about His achievements to open speaking about His death. He will not follow the ambition path, the pleasure path, or the easy spirituality path.

    You can admire Jesus, you can think well of Jesus, you can even love Jesus. But you cannot domesticate Him, you cannot tame Him, you cannot make Him sweet and nice and pretty. He is who He is and He says what He says, and sometimes it’s hard to take. In my experience, just about everybody out ...read more

     | 4,504 views

    Life is good when the masses are behind us but what about when we find our message has fallen out of vogue? What are we to do when the cries turn from “Hosanna!” to “Crucify”?

    Dakota Community Church April 5, 2009 When the Crowd Turns John 12:12-16 The next day the great crowd that had come for the Feast heard that Jesus was on his way to Jerusalem. They took palm branches and went out to meet him, shouting, "Hosanna!" "Blessed is he who comes in the name of ...read more
