How Could God Do Something Great Through Someone Like Me?! Series

Contributed by Jim Butcher on Mar 26, 2010

This sermon examines how God sees potential within us that we may not see ourselves.

HIDING OUT: We see ourselves as weak and powerless. - Judges 6:11. - Here we meet Gideon for the first time. - A telling detail that is at first obscure is that he was “threshing wheat in a winepress.” What’s that mean? A winepress was a small pit carved out of rocky ground. ...read more

It Can Happen To Anyone.

Contributed by Mike Woodham on May 23, 2010

Satan wants to take away your strength, your joy of the Lord, he wants to take away you song, and blind to the things of God and get you to the point where you can not discern right from wrong.

It can happen to anyone. Judges 13:1-16:31 The fuller the cup the more easily it is to spill the contents. The higher the spiritual the greater the need for lowliness of walk before the God. This morning we are going to take a look at the life of Samson. Samson was a hero of Israel known for ...read more

Losers Never Win

Contributed by Craig Benner on May 18, 2011

You don't have to be a loser. Unfortunately, many choose this route as a way of life. They never really become overcomers. Make the right choices, as hard and sacrificial as they may be. Remember Lot and Lots' wife.

Central Text---Gen. 13:7-14 Lu 17:28 Likewise also as it was in the days of Lot; they did eat, they drank, they bought, they sold, they planted, they builded; Lu 17:29 But the same day that Lot went out of Sodom it rained fire and brimstone from heaven, and destroyed them all. Lu 17:32 Remember ...read more

When Little Is Much

Contributed by Jerry Flury on Mar 27, 2011

As we think about the trials, testing, and tasks we face, both in our church and personal lives, often we become disheartened feeling we have little to offer and what lies ahead is too great. But God will use our little in a great way if we will let Him.

When Little Is Much “Then He said, ‘To what shall we liken the kingdom of God? Or with what parable shall we picture it? It is like a mustard seed which, when it is sown on the ground, is smaller than all the seeds on earth; but when it is sown, it grows up and becomes greater than all herbs, and ...read more

Feel My Heart

Contributed by Js Collins on Aug 25, 2012

Does Jesus feel our heart? Does he understand the emotions of my heart? My thinker, chooser and feeler. How far does his compassion go? What can we do?

Feel my heart Hebrews 4:14-16 14. Seeing then that we have a great High Priest who has passed through the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast our confession. 15. For we do not have a High Priest who cannot sympathize (be touched by the feelings of our infirmities) with our weaknesses, ...read more

Flawed Thinking: Learn Discernment!

Contributed by Kelly Durant on Nov 19, 2018

People today are easily deceived because they have their minds darkened by flawed thinking, or a reprobate mind. Only God and the Holy Spirit can illuminate these flaws to correct them.

Lesson 21: With Concern For One Another Series

Contributed by John Lowe on Jun 3, 2019

Antipas: The Perverse And Putrid Puppet Ruler Of Galilee Series

Contributed by Donald Whitchard on Mar 12, 2021

The story of Herod Antipas is one of treachery, murder, lust, cowardice, deceit, and perversion. He was responsible for the murder of John the Baptist and ridiculed Jesus on the day of His execution. The family of Herod had no redeeming qualities and are examples of unredeemed humanity.

It would make sense to say that the ministry of the Lord Jesus was attracting a great deal of attention and some scrutiny by virtue of His wondrous teachings, His compassion to all who came to Him in faith and trust, the way He handled the criticisms and pettiness of the Pharisees, His ability ...read more

Are You Willing To Be Nobody

Contributed by Dr. Ronald Shultz on Jun 17, 2021

Everyone wants to win 3000 in a day and have the largest church in their country, but God has more nobodies than superstars.

There is an old country song that said, “I’m chasin’ the neon rainbow, livin’ the honky tonk dream.” Very few artists find the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow making their dream come true. Few make it to the ranks of a one hit wonder. Many will quit and get a “real job” or continue to ...read more

Transfigured In Faith Series

Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Aug 2, 2021

Even when God's people screw up and turn their backs on their call, He continues to work to turn them back to the right path.

Transfiguration of the Lord Jesus 2021 Whenever I read Gospels such as the one today, where Jesus is transfigured before his key disciples, speaks with Moses and Elijah, and then tells the witnesses not to tell anyone else about the vision, I think of Isaiah chapter 55. God is speaking: “For my ...read more
