    Thyatira is a corrupt church. They do many great works, but God does not even address them as His children. It’s still here today and is key to the end of the world. Link inc. to formatted text, audio/video, PowerPoint.

    READING SOMEONE ELSE’S MAIL Thyatira: The Corrupt Church Rev. 2:18-29 http://gbcdecatur.org/sermons/Corrupt.html [map] In the 1700’s there lived a mighty evangelist that was greatly used of God to shake this country…his name was George Whitfield.

    The Song Of Moses And The Song Of The Lamb

     | 22,511 views

    The question is: are you able to sing the Song of Moses? Bible history reveals that Jacob left the land of Canaan for Egypt to look for food. The children of Israel were in slavery in Egypt for many years. Why did God keep them there that long?

    THE SONG OF MOSES AND THE SONG OF THE LAMB Dr. D. K. Olukoya Isaiah51:11says,“Therefore the redeemed of the Lord shall return, and come with singing unto Zion; and everlasting joy shall be upon their head: they shall obtain gladness and joy; and sorrow and mourning shall flee away.” Here the ...read more

    Our text in Psalm 8 reveals some things for which we should give thanks. 1- Thank you, Lord, for your majesty 2- Thank you, Lord, for your children 3- Thank you, Lord, for your rulership

    INTRO.- ILL.- I am reminded of the story about the two boys who came to the breakfast table. The mother asked her first son, "What would you like for breakfast?" He said, "I want some of those blankety-blank, Post Toasties." His mother just hauled off, backhanded him and knocked him into the ...read more

    God's Discipline

     | 9,340 views

    We have to discipline our children, and sometimes the things they do are so funny, we have to hold back our laughter in the midst of discipline. There’s nothing funny about the sin that God’s people commit against Him.

    People are funny, and the funniest people, in my judgement are children. As much as we love our children, we soon find out that they require discipline. When my oldest son was born, I took his picture with me to show people. I showed it to an elderly black lady, and I’ll never forget what she ...read more

    Life’s crossroads can be messy, but sometimes you cannot walk around the mud, but you must march right through it. Yet even [when we are] walking through the mud, God does not abandon His children.

    A Bitter Goodbye (Genesis 31:17-55) 1. At Kokomo’s Jackson Morrow Park, Marylu and I were hiking. We like to walk several times a week, and a walk in the woods can add an pleasant environment. I decided to take a short cut near the creek…I thought the ground was solid, but I immediately sunk in ...read more

    Just as God wanted to prepare the people from whom the Savior of the world was to come and they were to live as a distinct people until His coming. He desires that in us even today ~ His blood bought children, before His second coming.

    Opening illustration: [Sultan Q__s disguises himself as an ordinary man and walks into a hospital] Introduction: We must think of the children of Israel camping in the meadow by the Jordan, looking across at the hills of the Promised Land; and must think of Moses, now a hundred and twenty years ...read more

     | 7,086 views

    In order to understand the Spiritual World we need to become like children. Start learning again; overcome offence; and above all things we need the presence of God. We need to put God First and be filled with the Holy Ghost and FIRE!

    I started this message by teaching on how we can "feel" the presence of God. This is something that happens when we receive His Holy Spirit. Being filled or baptized in the Spirit means that we opened ourselves to His presence and when we have full conscience of God's presence we can suddenly ...read more

    A measure what ever amount it is...is Gods standard of faith! and one thing we know about God He never short changes His Children... He always supplies more than enough to complete the task at hand.

    God said..."You Already Have Enough" Illus. A man fell off a cliff, but managed to grab a tree limb on his way down. “Is anyone up there?” he cried out. “I am here, I am the Lord, do you believe me?” the voice said. “Yes, Lord I believe, I really believe, but I ...read more

    In connection with Father's Day, this lesson points out that Jesus IS going to return. As preparation Dads (all of us) must make two key decisions: 1. Stay Awake and 2. Dress Appropriately. These decisions benefit our children as well as ourselves.

    1. Use iPad and iPhone as distractions -- pretend to be reading email, texts, and receive a phone call from "Mom" to show how we can be distracted from our focus 2. Staying Focused Men are notorious for being distracted. Most of us could qualify for having ADD -- Attention Deficit Disorder. I ...read more

    Outline of Exodus ch. 14. This sermon exposes the love, care and protection of our great God for His children. God saves, protects and guides His followers through the trials of life even when confronted by overwhelming odds or the finest chariots.

    THROUGH THE RED SEA Text: Exodus 14:1 – 31 Intro.: The book of Exodus records the story of the history of the nation of Israel from their arrival in Egypt with the seeds of the nation, 70 people, during the service of Joseph to the pharaoh.

    God expects us to come up higher in every area of our lives. He told the children of Israel to take a long and lasting look at the Egyptians (who oppressed them), because they were about to embark on a journey of no return to the past bondage.

    TOPIC: NEW YEAR RESOLUTION – THE BELIEVER’S WAY TEXT: Joshua 24:13-15; Haggai 1:5-7 Resolution is the act or process of resolving: as - the act of determining - the act of answering: solving - “making a resolution to mend my ways” Resolution can also be in a form ...read more

     | 10,454 views

    The Ethiopian Eunuch's conversion shows us that God works through the Holy Spirit, the Word, and through His people who willingly step out in faith. God can do great things through His children who are led by the Spirit!

    Some of us remember the movie Raiders Of The Lost Ark from 1981, where Indiana Jones discovers the Ark of the Covenant, the 4-foot long container holding the two tablets of the 10 commandments that God gave Moses on Mt. Sinai. Jones takes the Ark back to America, and at the end of the movie you ...read more

    What Makes A Good Father?

    Contributed by Jerry Flury on Jun 19, 2012
    based on 5 ratings
     | 28,450 views

    Being a good father is more than just bringing home a paycheck and meeting the physical needs of your children. It’s not enough just be a good father by the world’s standards; fathers need to be the spiritual leaders in their homes.

    What Makes a Good Father Proverbs 17:6 When asked what is a good father? One replier said, “A good father is one who provides and is always there when the child needs him.” 1 Timothy 5:8 tells us “… if anyone does not provide for his own, and especially for those of his ...read more

    Just like a natural family with parents, children, and siblings, the church family is God’s idea. God knew that people would need help along the way as they struggle against an unseen enemy. It is a privilege and a blessing to belong to a spiritual family

    Belonging to a Spiritual Family 1 Thessalonians 3:1-5 Intro: There are many organizations or groups you could be a part of these days, but I believe none is more meaningful to your life and spiritual health than belonging to and being part of a spiritual family.
