    Sermon # 32 - A Life That God Rejoices Over Series

    Contributed by Andrew Dixon on Jul 2, 2025
    based on 1 rating
     | 119 views

    We are made in the image of God and our emotions too are expressions of the way God feels about us. It’s good to examine ourselves to see if God rejoices over us or is He grieved about us. Also the plans we make should always be in alignment with God’s will so He does not have to scorn them.

    We read in Zephaniah 3:17, “The LORD your God is mighty in your midst; He will save; He will rejoice over you with joy; He will rest in His love; He rejoices over you with singing.” (AFV) We also read in Psalm 2:4, “From his throne in heaven the Lord laughs and mocks their feeble plans.” (GNB) It ...read more

    It might seem kind of crazy to ask someone who has been paralyzed for 38 years if he wants to get well but, of course, Jesus never asks a question without good reason. This is an invitation to participate in his miracle.

    Sermon “Would you like to get well?” John 5:1-14 “Afterward Jesus returned to Jerusalem for one of the Jewish holy days. 2 Inside the city, near the Sheep Gate, was the pool of Bethesda, with five covered porches. 3 Crowds of sick people—blind, lame, or paralyzed—lay on the porches. 5 One of the ...read more

It's a testimony that helps you to be able to communicate a message to the world. There's a world waiting out there for a message ...read more

    Jesus knew how to comfort the hurting because He had compassion for the way people struggled with every problem. The Lord Jesus went through all the towns and villages, teaching in their synagogues, preaching the good news of the kingdom and healing every

    Quote: Many people are drawn to the love of Jesus by His ministry of consolation more than anything else.
