     | 2,541 views

    Freedom from the tyranny of evil came to us in the Person of Jesus Christ! God did not save us when Jesus died on the cross. He saved us when Jesus was born.

    Psalm 106 gives insight on what is in us and also on why God would do this (give us salvation) for us! (Thanks to Sermon Central Contributor Paul Apple for some of these thoughts)

    Sermon for 9/23/2007 Psalm 106 (especially vs. 8) Introduction: Several months ago I was teaching the teenagers in Sunday school. We were talking about Exodus 33, a unique Scripture where it talks about Moses seeing the Lord. To open up the class I asked a question, “When we get to heaven, what ...read more

    Growing Pains

    Contributed by Ron Hicks on Jun 8, 2007
    based on 11 ratings
     | 7,057 views

    The most successful trick Satan use’s, is to get us to question God about His actions. The words usually formed on our lips are “why am I experiencing such pain?”

    GROWING PAINS? Satan tries to undermine the Word of God and the importance of our faith in God. Eyes can’t always see what God is doing because most of what God does is in the spiritual realm. We can’t see the wind but we can see the results of it. Its very disturbing to think of the great ...read more

    The Prophet Who Felt Loss

    Contributed by Colin Coombs on Jun 11, 2007
    based on 4 ratings
     | 2,719 views

    The life of Elijah is such an encouragement to us as we are able to identify with him in his reaction to the events of his day - God is the same for us today and is able to strengthen and enable us to witness for Him.

    THE PROPHET WHO FELT LOSS 1 KINGS 19:1-19 Elijah was one of the greatest prophets of all time. God produced many mighty miracles through him; yet we see him at one of the low points in his life; in fact perhaps one of the darkest moments of his life. Amazingly, this dark period takes place ...read more

    based on 40 ratings
     | 4,886 views

    Jesus wants us to roll away the stone of doubts and fear, then he will tear the veil that keeps us separated from Him, and then He will give us an open door into eternal life.

    A Stone, A Veil and A Door By Pastor Jim May The Stone: John 11:38-40, "Jesus therefore again groaning in himself cometh to the grave. It was a cave, and a stone lay upon it.

    based on 54 ratings
     | 14,598 views

    God has prepared us for a ministry. Why do we think God has prepared us our entire life to fail? Won’t He be with us along the journey?

    Several centuries ago, a Japanese emperor commissioned an artist to paint a picture of a bird. A number of months passed, then several years, and still no painting was brought to the palace.

    What The Body Of Christ Needs

    Contributed by Jerry Flury on Jul 11, 2003
    based on 39 ratings
     | 7,032 views

    Using the metaphor of a body, I believe that for this church to function properly as Christ would have it function, as well as each us individually, there are certain body parts that ALL of us must possess.

    WHAT THE BODY OF CHRIST NEEDS I CORINTHIANS 12:12-18 INTRODUCTION: Throughout the New Testament the church is likened to a physical body made up of many members each functioning in a different capacity but all being part of the same unity and working together for the proper functioning and benefit ...read more

    The Blessings Of Forgiveness Series

    Contributed by Christian Cheong on Jun 22, 2004
    based on 39 ratings
     | 15,503 views

    Jesus teaches us to forgive. This is important because (1) forgiveness releases us from bondage, (2) gives us the freedom to grow, and (3) leaves room for God’s work.

    We have a forgiving God. We receive His forgiveness purely on GRACE. We pay no penance; we did no work to justify forgiveness. In fact, we cannot promise we will always stay RIGHT. We are forgiven because of Christ. We forgive because we have been forgiven. So what does these verses mean? ...read more

    "They said one to another, did not our hearts burn within us, while he talked with us by the way and while he opened to us the scriptures" (Luke 24:32).

    A. INTRODUCTION ( Luke 24:13-21) On Easter Sunday afternoon, Jesus met two disciples who were returning home from Jerusalem. The reports of the empty tomb confused and discouraged them.

    Each of us has times when pain attacks us. It may be physical or emotional, but it crashes against us like an avalanche. This sermon suggests how to move beyond the pain that comes.

    An examination of a parable that Jesus told of the talents. So often we do not use what God has given us for his glory. We must put to use our gifts

    Jesus calls us by name, brings us forth from death in sin, unwraps our soul and spirit, and gives us resurrected life just like he did for Lazarus.

    CALLED FORTH John 11:39-45, "Jesus said, Take ye away the stone. Martha, the sister of him that was dead, saith unto him, Lord, by this time he stinketh: for he hath been dead four days.

    He Still Can & He Still Will!

    Contributed by Bruce Ball on Jul 28, 2005
    based on 26 ratings
     | 6,480 views

    We rely on ourselves for everything - to the exclusion of God. It shocks us when we come to the reality that God not only is still "able" to help us .... but that He still "wants" to help us!

    Yep! There really is a conspiracy. But our God is conspiring for us, not against us! As we continue through Romans, ch.11 gives us a glimpse of God’s conspiracy for this world.

    Conspiracy of Grace Romans 11:1-12 Intro: Have you ever read or studied up on some of the conspiracy theories people have these days? There are those who believe that we never did land on the moon. It was all fabricated by our govt. Also, there are some who believe that the 9/11 attack on the ...read more
