Turing Trials Into Triumphs Series

Contributed by David Owens on Jun 7, 2021

The first subject that James addresses in his letter is how to face our trials. His suggestion is shocking: we should welcome our trials with joy. But his reason for the suggestion makes sense when you understand things from God's perspective.

Why The Lord Withdraws

Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Jan 30, 2022

Sometimes we can become prideful and overconfident in our own abilities, which is sin; and so, God will hide His face from us (Isaiah 59:2). The Lord will hide from us in order to gain our attention and cause us to cling to Him.

As soon as she would turn her back, the boy would wander off somewhere, though keeping his mother in sight the entire time. She would then have to go and retrieve him. ...read more

No Parole, No Appeal, No Hope: The Great White Throne Judgment Series

You do not end up as mere food for worms and fertilizer for flowers in a forgotten grave. You will be in one of two places after you take your last breath, and you will face the Sovereign LORD, either as Savior or Judge. Where do you stand on that fact?

The Holy Bible affirms that there are ONLY two places where your soul can go after death. Either you will be in heaven with God the Father, the Lord Jesus Christ, the Holy Spirit, and the redeemed of all history, or in hell with the devil, his angels, and the wicked of all history, to be ...read more

This sermon examines the final acts of Isaac and Jacob, showing how true faith allows us to face death with worship, submit to God's sovereign plan, and confidently speak blessings over the next generation regarding a future we may not live to see.

Introduction: Seeing Beyond the Grave They say that "hindsight is 20/20," meaning it is easy to see things clearly after they have happened. But these two verses introduce us to a different kind of vision: foresight. Isaac and Jacob were old men. Their bodies were failing. Isaac was ...read more

Jesus: How To Be A Follower In Times Of Despair Series

Contributed by Rick Long on Feb 12, 2004

Fourth in the series "Meet the Cast." As you study Jesus’ life you realize that even though He did not lay aside his deity, He did humble himself as a man, to serve all humanity. So Jesus understands what we are facing in our lives.

I love the way “The Passion of The Christ” movie begins, with the reminder that 400 years before Jesus was born his sacrifice was foretold in a vivid way. Isaiah 53:5 (LB) But he was wounded and bruised for our sins. He was beaten that we might have peace; he was lashed--and we were healed! ...read more
