When Failure Is Success

Contributed by Ray Ellis on Oct 11, 2004

From the world’s view Jesus was a failure. Jesus calls us to become a failure according to this world’s system and find success.

Don’t be taken in by the world’s philosophy

1) Introduction Imagine you are comfortably asleep in your bed. You are awakened by a crash as a window is broken.

Contributed by Tony Abram on Sep 28, 2006

Soulwinning and world evangelism starting at home and then to the world.

COME AND SEE I. The Supreme task of Church is the Evangelism of the world. A. Mass evangelism is not the answer as wonderful as it is. 1. God wants to use the whole church to evangelise the world. II. I do not know how to preach or win a soul! HOW CAN I BE SAVED? These ...read more

What Difference Did The Advent Of The Messiah Make?

Contributed by Dave Mcfadden on Dec 12, 2017

Jesus came into the world to make a difference in the world.

Christmas is a celebration of the fact that God took on flesh in Jesus Christ to do for us what we couldn’t do for ourselves. Jesus was born as a man and lived as a man, living a sinless, pure life. He ended that life by dying on the cross for our sins in our place. Three days later, He was raised ...read more

A Prophet Without Honor

Contributed by Spencer Miller on Jun 28, 2019

Jesus was in the world and the world knew Him not.

Introduction: The now infamous Lance Armstrong once said, “A boo is a lot louder than a cheer.” And he hit the nail on the head, because no one wants to be rejected.

7 Dips? Why Not Just 2 Or 3?

Contributed by Brian Buriff on Feb 2, 2010

With each dip (and the progressive laying aside of Naaman's weapons, armor, clothes, and undergarments) Naaman was progressively and completely stripped bare to the core of his soul - to that point where God could not only heal him physically, but spiritu

Chapter 44 Destruction Of Shechem Series

Contributed by John Lowe on May 14, 2020

The citizens of Shechem were apparently in their fields for the purpose of tending their crops, and very probably without weapons of any kind. People could be seen going in and out of the city gate to support those harvesting the grapes. Abimelech slew them.

Chapter 44 Destruction of Shechem [Judges 9.42-9.45] Scripture: Judges 9:42-45 (KJV) 42 And it came to pass on the morrow, that the people went out into the field; and they told Abimelech. 43 And he took the people, and divided them into three companies, and laid wait in the field, and ...read more

David, The Soldier Series

Contributed by Jonathan Spurlock on Nov 11, 2020

Israel faced an enemy and thought they couldn't possibly defeat them. Goliath was a secret weapon, nearly ten feet tall and full of hatred for Israel. Then came a shepherd boy named David--and the rest is history.

Introduction: David had learned some of the arts of defense by tending his flock of sheep. Lions, bears, and perhaps other predators were always looking for sheep so it was up to the shepherd to protect them. After Samuel had anointed him (to be the future king), David had served Saul in a number ...read more

Part 4: Waiting Without Becoming Bitter Series

Contributed by Rev Emmanuel O. Adejugbe on Jan 29, 2026

Delay does not damage destiny, but bitterness does. You can survive years of waiting and still step into your calling with a poisoned soul. David’s secret weapon was his ability to lament honestly without abandoning trust.

The Enemy You Can't See You know what's interesting about David's story? He survives the cave. He passes the test of honor. He refuses to kill Saul when he has the chance. Twice. He does everything right externally. But there's another enemy. An enemy that doesn't announce ...read more

S.t.o.n.e.s.

Contributed by Tim Hohm on Sep 16, 2004

The Bible is clear that we fight with weapons that are not our own. We can learn from David as he fought Goliath -- His head-on approach to dealing with a difficult moment allowed God to do another miracle in his life.

It's In Your Language

Contributed by Katherine Gilstrap on Sep 30, 2024

The greatest weapon we have in our fight against the enemy is to maintain an honest heart before God & speak a language that confuses the enemy while we wait to receive & recover all that God has promised us.
