  • Jabez: Overcoming The Significance Of A Sorrowful Name

    Contributed by Sterling Franklin on Aug 7, 2011
    based on 4 ratings
     | 17,290 views

    Jabez' mother named him 'Sorrow,' but the LORD kept this man of prayer from experiencing it. We ought to pray faithfully to God, asking Him to help us in any weighty task and to bring about what is dear to our hearts and according to His will.

    Turn to 1 Chronicles 4... In the book of 1 Chronicles, there is a man given honor in the middle of a genealogy of very important people, including many kings. His name is short, so we don't have a Maher-shalal-hash-baz. We have Jabez, essentially pronounced "Ya-Bates" in Hebrew. Many have ...read more

Our lives are ...read more

    Contributed by Steve Ely on Jul 22, 2017
     | 5,406 views

    Just because we don't like the truth, can't handle the truth or it doesn't line up with our experience/feelings doesn't make it any less truth. Can you handle truth bombs?

    Truth Bombs Pt. 3 - If You Laugh ... You Leave! I. Introduction Truth is talked about a lot. It has been said that truth is different for everyone. I would beg to differ. Truth is truth because it is truth across the board. That is what makes it truth. There has to be a standard of truth by which ...read more

     | 2,122 views

  • Practice Makes Perfect (2018)

    Contributed by John Williams Iii on Apr 30, 2021
     | 1,683 views

    Are we children of God? Or do we just claim the name with charades and dismiss the character? Isn’t that what today’s text is all about? On a daily basis, we are called to live up to the name because the way we live is supposed to illustrate who Jesus is!

    PRACTICE MAKES PERFECT Text: I John 3:1- 7 The story is told of Alexander the Great confronting a coward: "Alexander the Great had a soldier in his army who also bore the name Alexander. But this man was a coward. Alexander the Great called him before him and said to him, "You ...read more

  • Double Exposure

    Contributed by John Gaston on Mar 8, 2023
     | 2,277 views

    The photographic process is mysterious; a piece of film is exposed to light and images are left. Our lives are like that film. We present what we want others to see, but God sees beneath it. A 2nd exposure will happen - now or later!

    DOUBLE EXPOSURE Eph. 5:8-16 INTRODUCTION A. HUMOR: Squeaky clean 1. One young woman decided to try clean her purse by throwing it into the washing machine—with the rest of the laundry.

    based on 4 ratings
     | 26,398 views

    In this short passage, Jesus gives three simple invitations to bring rest for the stressed: come to Jesus, take his yoke, and learn from him. Here is the essence of Christian discipleship, to bind ourselves to our Lord 24/7.

    Matthew 11:28-30 Rest for the Stressed I choose our scripture each week from the Lectionary, which is a systematic reading through most of the Bible over the course of three years. On any given Sunday, it contains an Old Testament reading, a Psalm, a New Testament reading, and a passage from the ...read more
