    Up And Down The Ladder

     | 7,204 views

    To be a real success in life, we need to climb down the ladder of success, just as Jesus did when He humbled Himself. (this sermon uses a ladder on the stage)

    Up and Down the Ladder Philippians 2:1-11 January 20, 2013 (this sermon uses a ladder on stage. This is not an original idea, but I can't recall where I heard of this.) We’re always trying to get ahead. There's always a ladder to climb (get ladder) and the higher up the ladder we go, the ...read more

    Freedom is not found in discarding the yoke of Christ; it's found in losing our own burden. It's not found in discarding his authority; it's an amazing truth that freedom is found under the yoke of Christ.

    Opening illustration: All of us enjoy receiving invitations—to a meal, a wedding, or a concert. Usually, when the invitation is printed on a little card, there are cryptic letters written at the bottom: RSVP. We know what those letters mean. They are an abbreviation of a French request to ...read more

    A sermon that looks at the dynamics of Mark chapter 3 20 - 35 and attempts to show how often in the Christian life in order to go up we need to go what the world considers as down.

    2 Corinthians 4:13-5:1 Mark 3:20-35 In 1982, David Pawson was invited to speak in New Zealand. His had a reputation as a bible teacher, so people the people of Wellington were surprised when he said that he had a prophecy. He carried two burdens that God had given him for our nation. One burden ...read more

    Each decision we make in life is not a discrete unit. It is connected in a long chain of decisions that leads in a trajectory either towards the character of the Lord or away from it. This part of Psalm 119 helps us set the right course in life.

    105 – 112 Verse 105 is one of the coolest verses in the Bible. It really speaks to the working of God’s Word in our lives. A “lamp to my feet” suggests providing guidance in the near-term, the everyday sorts of decisions in life: how do I answer, how should I react, what ...read more

    Paul pointed to the example of Jesus' humble service as a way for the Philippians to live in harmony with each other and receive a blessing from God.

    Introduction: A. A tv show I enjoyed watching in the seventies and eighties was the sitcom called The Jeffersons. 1. The show featured an African American family who became wealthy and moved out of a run-down area in Queens to a luxury apartment in Manhattan. 2. The theme song for the show was a ...read more

    It takes tremendous effort to make it to the top. Well, sometimes that’s the way it is for believers.

    At times we may feel as though we’re going up the down side in life. Someone might say, “What are you talking about?” Let me give an example. Have you ever tried to go up and down the escalator? You might take two steps forward and fall back four steps. What should you do ...read more

    The posture of an unnamed woman in an innumerable crowd becomes the portrait of a worshipper who moves the heart of God.

    I. Touch (If I may touch) To see this woman you need to look low. Look down. That’s where she lives. Low to the ground. Low on the priority list. Los on the social scale. She’s low. Can you see it? Her hand? Gnarled. Thin. Diseased. Dirt blackens the nails and stains the skin. Look ...read more

    This is more than a cute little Vacation Bible Schools story.

    Zacchaeus, Come Down! Luke 19:1-10 Introduction Many of us can remember the Vacation Bible School song about Zacchaeus. “Zacchaeus was a wee little man, a wee little man was he.” We remember that the song tells us that he climbed up into a sycamore tree “for the Lord he wanted to see”. We also ...read more

    The words “the Lord came down” sent a shiver up my spine!

    Lord came down! Numbers 12:5 “Then the LORD came down in the pillar of cloud and stood in the door of the tabernacle, and called Aaron and Miriam. And they both went forward.” The words “the Lord came down” sent a shiver up my spine! We live in a world where morality is ...read more

    Peter’s response to these religious rule-keepers is a model for us as we face criticism or complaints. We’ll see that Peter’s answer is more pastoral than argumentative. I see seven correctives to help us handle criticism.

    This week I shared something positive on Facebook and got pulverized. The criticism came quickly and repeatedly. Normally I’m more careful about posting about controversial matters so I wasn’t prepared for all the venomous vitriol and overwhelming opposition. One person simply replied, “Oh ...read more

    After Jesus went to present His blood to His Father, He sat down on the right hand of His Father.

    So many of us in the body of Christ do not yet fully understand the finished work of Jesus Christ on the cross of Calvary. We need a deep revelation from the Holy Spirit to help us to grasp what Jesus did for us all. Jesus came to restore the kingdom back to us and to redeem us all from the hands ...read more

    Tearing Down Strongholds

    based on 2 ratings
     | 10,581 views

    Strongholds are built when we accept and receive error and begin to meditate on them. It forms in our minds what is known as an imagination, that is, a false concept that we believe to be true, but in reality is not.

    What exactly is a stronghold? A stronghold is an incorrect thinking pattern that has molded itself into our way of thinking. These strongholds have the capability to affect our feelings, how we respond to various situations in life, and they play a large role in our spiritual freedom. Where do ...read more

    We see how God orchestrated a divine appointment between Cornelius and Peter through separate visions, to accomplish His purpose of reaching the Gentiles.

    Good morning. We are going to look at one of the most significant chapters in the book of Acts - Acts 10 the account of the conversion of the Gentiles in response to the Gospel. • This account was mentioned 3 times in this book. Luke gave it much space in Acts 10 and then again in Acts 11 when ...read more
