    Why Does God Allow These Struggles?

    Contributed by Jim Butcher on Nov 28, 2017
     | 7,288 views

    A look at the Christmas passage - specifically, the struggle of Mary and Joseph having the baby in Bethlehem far from home. A look at four ways God uses our struggles in our lives.

    Mary And Joseph’s Road Trip: “Why does God allow these struggles in my life?” - Luke 2:3-6. - The trip to Bethlehem under such difficult circumstances had to be a struggle. Did they have questions? I know I would have. “God, why are You allowing this?” “God, have You forgotten us?” “God, ...read more

    Two Paths, Two Destinies Series

    Contributed by Paul Dayao on Aug 25, 2025
     | 441 views

    The Christian life demands that we endure God's tests to receive the crown of life, while simultaneously taking full responsibility for the internal temptations that, if unchecked, arise from our own desires and lead to spiritual death.

    Introduction: The Finish Line Many of us know the feeling of a great test. Perhaps it was a final exam in university that determined your grade for the entire semester. Maybe it was a major project or presentation at work, with your career on the line. Or maybe it was a physical challenge, like ...read more

    based on 1 rating
     | 10,874 views

    A classic sermon delivered in 1892 encouraging believers to be comforted and even grateful for their trials and afflictions.

    In connection with the dedication of the Jubilee House, which commemorated the fifth year of a life often threatened by grievous sickness. [Will the reader kindly note the remarks at the end of this sermon, before he reads the discourse?—C.H.S.] "I shall not die, but live, and declare the ...read more

    Share In Suffering Series

    Contributed by Michael Stark on Apr 26, 2015
     | 4,716 views

    God calls His people to stand firm in the face of trials and suffering.

    “Therefore, do not be ashamed of the testimony about our Lord, nor of me his prisoner, but share in suffering for the gospel by the power of God.” [1] The call of Christ is not as is commonly presented in contemporary church life. We preachers do issue a call for our hearers to ...read more

    Giving Thanks In Disappointments

    Contributed by Ajai Prakash on Dec 3, 2014

     | 11,677 views

    Are you facing a situation in which you could be disappointed? Why not set up a celebration to count your blessings no matter what the outcome?

    Opening illustration: After receiving his second Academy Award, Denzel Washington said to his family, “I told you, if I lost tonight, I’d come home and we’d celebrate. And if I won tonight, I’d come home and we’d celebrate.” Denzel, a Christian, was trusting God, ...read more

    Seek The Lord

    Contributed by James Dina on Jul 26, 2020
    based on 2 ratings
     | 11,214 views

    Seeking the Lord is the conscious fixing of our mind’s attention and our heart’s affection on God. He is our best friend when we are at our best, and he is our only friend when we are at our worst. Seek the Lord and His strength; seek His presence on a regular basis.

    SEEK THE LORD! “I would seek unto God, and unto God would I commit my cause” (Job 5:8) It is the honor and privilege of every Christian to know God and to walk with Him on a daily basis. He is the one true and glorious God who has created ...read more

    No Hill For A Stepper

    Contributed by G W Bill Elliott Jr on Feb 15, 2020
     | 2,457 views

    Problems are always upon us and getting over the little humps is easy. Getting over the larger ones simply means you grow to be bigger than that hill… so-as to just step right over it, rather than struggle to climb it.

    Too often, we look on that passage “God never gives you more than you can handle” as though He is putting you through some awful test, or that He is “easing up on the throttle” regarding just how much pressure He is causing you to endure. This writing is to help us see this passage from His ...read more

     | 1,396 views

    Any speech which is intended to mislead or deceive is offensive to God, whether or not you are under oath.

    I’ve been wracking my brains trying to find a lead-in to this week’s commandment without talking about things like political correctness and hate speech, fake news and cancel culture. Things like misinformation, disinformation and media bias. But the subject keeps popping up. Things like the ...read more

    This message from the second half of Romans 8 uses Romans 8:28 as an anchor text to speak about all the things we inherit because we are in Christ.

    How can all things work together for good? TEXT: Romans 8:14-39 INTRODUCTION: Romans 8 is a chapter of victory for Christians. After hearing about the “Wretched Man” in chapter 7, who tries to overcome sin by his own fleshy power, Paul shifts gears and talks about our victory as ...read more

    Dream, Part 3: Determination

    Contributed by Dino Rizzo on May 5, 2009
    based on 4 ratings
     | 4,939 views

    In the Bible, God offers you and me a dream. He offers us a life and purpose and mission that is beyond just existing, beyond functionality. This sermon addresses the determination needed in making God’s dream come true for you.

    If you have your Bibles, turn to the book of Mark. We have been in a series called "Dream". A lot of us need change in our lives and during the beginning of the year, a lot of times we will set goals, or look at different targets that we would like to hit. I think all of that is important and ...read more

    We have been marked by destiny, purpose, favor, but is that the whole picture? What if we are marked by pain? What if we limp?

    Marked Introduction: Riding on a plane to a conference called “Marked”. I already knew in my mind some of the things that would be declared over the young people that would attend. You will be marked by power, by destiny, by purpose, by anointing, etc. All true. All good words. All real. But ...read more

    Sermon 10 in the Series. (Ezra chapter 5) After the locals first attempted to stop the work on the Temple, they then tried to compromise the work on the Temple. "Let us build with you" was their cry. When Jerubabbel and Jeshua refused, they harrassed them

    Christian life and ministry getting rough?

    When I was a new Christian I wanted to be like Peter and Paul. I wish I had been more specific because I have found that I have a lot of their weaknesses, but I was hoping for their strengths. Everyone has a hero in the Word that they wish they could be like and most of us while we want to be ...read more

    Is the church substituting the Biblical Jesus for a plastic Jesus of their own making?
