  • My God, Why? Series

    Contributed by David Dunn on Nov 27, 2025
     | 194 views

    Psalm 22 reveals honest lament, prophetic suffering, and Christ’s redeeming victory, transforming our deepest “why?” into confident praise through His finished work.

    INTRODUCTION — THE PSALM WE HEAR BUT RARELY ENTER Psalm 22 is one of the most famous passages in Scripture, but ironically, it is one of the least understood. We know its opening line because Jesus cried it from the cross. We quote it during communion, on Good Friday, in moments of grief, and in ...read more

  • From Sigh To Song

    Contributed by David Dunn on Feb 20, 2026
     | 80 views

    When waiting feels endless and heaven feels silent, Psalm 13 teaches us how to move from honest lament to anchored trust — because Christ has already entered our deepest silence and secured our final song.

    Psalm 13 opens with a prayer that is almost uncomfortable to hear read out loud: “How long, O Lord? Will You forget me forever? How long will You hide Your face from me? How long must I wrestle with my thoughts and day after day have sorrow in my heart? How long will my enemy triumph over ...read more

    Lesson 25

    "And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors." At the outset of any discussion concerning this verse one must observe closely how it begins. It begins with the word "And", which connects it closely to the previous verse. There are at least three practical reasons for the connection ...read more

  • When God Doesn't Make Sense Series

    Contributed by James Wallace on Jul 10, 2021
    based on 1 rating
     | 7,608 views

    Jesus' beloved friends had requested He come for their urgent need. But He didn't show up when He could have? What are we to think when God doesn't answer our prayers--there's only silence--and midnight passes?

    Boy, we live in some tumultuous times, don’t we? Earthquake and tsunami in Japan. A nuclear disaster there as a result. Uprisings in Tunisia and Egypt and Libya. Our nation involved in wars in Iraq, Afghanistan and now Libya. And wasn’t it only a few months ago that a huge earthquake ...read more

  • Five Keys To Answered Prayer

    Contributed by Richard Tow on Jul 17, 2023
    based on 1 rating
     | 3,616 views

    Effectiveness in prayer is more than a matter of volume. We pray in the context of our relationship with God. We learn to align ourselves with the will of God so that we are partnering with him rather than trying to persuade him. This message teaches how to pray in faith for results.

    Intro In this message we will review five keys to answered prayer. When we make our requests to God, we are not just fulfilling a religious duty. We are interacting with our Heavenly Father concerning a perceived need. Our petition is not effective until we either get the answer or get counsel from ...read more

    BIG IDEA: THE LONELINESS OF BEING FORSAKEN BY GOD AND MAN MAKES LIFE IN THE PITS INTOLERABLE INTRODUCTION: This is the saddest psalm in the psalter; no glimmer of hope; for once we are left in the same state of despair as at the beginning of the psalm.

  • Forgotten But Not Abandoned

    Contributed by Gerry Takaria on Nov 18, 2025
     | 132 views

    Job, Joseph, and Daniel were faithful men who faced silence from God in their hardest times. Job lost everything, Joseph was forgotten, and Daniel was exiled and thrown into a lions’ den. Even when God seemed absent, their stories remind us that His silence never means His absence.

    INTRODUCTION: One of the most powerful true stories in church history about a seemingly “silent” God who nonetheless cares for His people can be found in the life of Dietrich Bonhoeffer, a German theologian and Christian pastor during the Nazi era. The Story of Dietrich Bonhoeffer Dietrich ...read more

  • Part 2: The Refiner's Fire (Divine Refinement And Trust) Series

    Contributed by Rev Emmanuel O. Adejugbe on Jan 20, 2026
     | 208 views

    In the last sermon, we explored the mystery of God's hiddenness. We acknowledged that God is often silent and our hearts cry out for Him to speak. But silence, we learned, does not mean absence. God is hidden from our perception, but not withdrawn from His work.

    Today, we turn to perhaps the most difficult question of all. If God is silent and yet still working, what exactly is He doing? What is the purpose of the silence? Why does God allow us to walk through seasons where prayer seems unanswered, where Scripture feels distant, where we cannot sense His ...read more

  • Why Aren't My Prayers Answered?

    Contributed by Robert Cox on Dec 9, 2008
    based on 4 ratings
     | 6,496 views

    Why does God seem deaf at times when we pray according to His promises?

    JAMES 5:13 Is anyone among you suffering? Let him pray. Is anyone cheerful? Let him sing psalms. 14 Is anyone among you sick? Let him call for the elders of the church, and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord. 15 And the prayer of faith will save the sick, and the ...read more
