Sermons on Valley Of Weeping:

Is The Lord Your Shepherd

Contributed by Christopher Nerreau on Mar 10, 2005

In the 23rd Psalm we see David reflecting upon his life from the Green Pastures of his youth to the valley of the shadow of death(which was not far off). He notes one common theme namely that the Lord was his shepherd, today can we say the same thing?

Is The Lord My Shepherd? Psalm 23 ORIENTATION: • Have you ever taken a moment to reflect upon your life? • To simply stop what you are doing, be quite and reflect? • For some of us maybe this is too difficult (the hurts to great, and pain to unbearable) for others impossible (especially if ...read more

Overcoming The Thieves Of Joy

Contributed by Austin W. Duncan on Jun 15, 2022

It’s through the peace of God that our hearts and minds are guarded from anxiety and worry. When we pursue a conscious rejection of all that is not consistent with the mind of Christ, we begin to experience more exalted thoughts.

A Desire for Unity "Therefore, my brothers, whom I love and long for, my joy and crown, stand firm thus in the Lord, my beloved. I entreat Euodia and I entreat Syntyche to agree in the Lord. Yes, I ask you also, true companion, help these women, who have labored side by side with me in the ...read more

Live For Today And Die Forever

Contributed by Stephen Belokur on Feb 11, 2020

Sounds pretty harsh, right? Jesus said the very same thing on four different occasions and it is recorded six different times in the Gospels. What can we do about it?

The Attitude Of The Heart

Contributed by Charlie Roberts on Nov 24, 2019

It’s in those times of trial, we are still to be thankful! The times we experience in the valleys of life, when we feel like all we have to hang onto is God. Those are the times we should realize the only thing we have ever had to hang onto is God!
