    Trouble Up Ahead Pastor Paddick Van Zyl 25-06-2020 Sermon Outline Introduction E.M. Bounds said : “Trouble and prayer are closely related. Trouble often drives men to God in prayer, while prayer is but the voice of men in trouble.” 1 G.K. Chesterton said: “Jesus promised the disciples three ...read more

    According to current events, we are in a crisis of global proportions. Problems have always been part of life. However, today the magnitude of problems that exist on a worldwide scale is certainly grounds for concern.

    This sermon examines 1 Samuel 3:1-20, the story of Samuel and Eli, and gives lessons on, what defined them, as a dying priesthood, and a rising prophet. These lessons can be applied to our Churches, and lives today, which can result in what spiritual impact we will have on today's world.

    AWAKE OR SLEEPING 1 Samuel 3:1-20 In our text we see a transition from a Priesthood who had taken God for granted, to a rising Prophet, who would awaken a Nation. From Eli to Samuel. Eli means to ascend or "lofty". There are two ways to look at him, as a Priest he was called to ascend ...read more

    Blowing Up Boxes Series

    We often find ourselves putting people in "boxes." Race, gender, and endless number of boxes. And it's limiting. We put limits on expectations of others and ourselves. As we follow Jesus, we watch him "blow up" the box around a man born blind.

    Many have died accomplishing much in either their bank accounts or in other areas. Accomplishments are nice, but they cannot give us what we hunger for which is assurance.

     | 1,093 views

    The admonition in Romans 12:2 to the believers in Christ Jesus not to be confirmed to the world is a stern warning not to allow the prince of the power of the air ( i.e the spirit that now works in the children of disobedience- demonic spirits) to take hold of their lives and minds. As the prince ...read more
