    Contributed by Kerry Haynes on Aug 21, 2016
    based on 4 ratings
     | 14,131 views

    We go about trying to live religious lives, but do we miss connecting with God in the process? Christianity is about relationship, not religion. And Jesus makes such a relationship possible.

    Luke 13:10-17 When Religion Blocks Relationship It was a day I will never forget. Our village had gathered at the local Synagogue to hear the word and receive teaching, to pray together, and to worship Yahweh, the one true God. On this day there was an unusual excitement in the crowd because we ...read more

    based on 34 ratings
     | 5,473 views

    One way we give thanks to God is through our offerings, but our giving is not necessarily giving thanks. Paul when and how our giving becomes thanksgiving.

    Introduction 1. Thanksgiving Day is a day when we celebrate God’s goodness. We thank Him for the many blessings He has bestowed upon us. 2. Today we have a thanksgiving day offering. If we give it the right way, we give thanks to God in ever increasing proportions. Teaching 1. Paul has been ...read more

     | 10,123 views

    Tom Brady, who's a 4-time superbowl champion said, "God, it's got to be more than this. I mean this isn't what it's all cracked up to be.” Things don't satisfy! You need Jesus!

    SUPERBOWL SATISFACTION? JOHN 4:13-14 INTRODUCTION A. HUMOR 1. A small boy was sent to bed by his father. Five minutes later, he hollered, “Daaaad!” “What?” “I’m thirsty! Can you bring me a drink of water?” “No! You had your chance. Lights out.” ...read more

    Contributed by Jim Butcher on Oct 25, 2012
    based on 1 rating
     | 4,364 views

    A look at the conditional obedience we often offer God, in comparison with Joseph's complete and costly obedience.

    ASKING TOO MUCH? Often our willingness to obey God comes with a pre-set spending limit. Main illustration: An American Express card vs. a Walmart pre-loaded card. This is a Walmart pre-loaded card with $50 on it. If I give it to you, you can buy whatever you want. . . up to $50. This is an ...read more

    When the future looks bleak, God asks us to trust Him.

    There was once a monk who joined a very strict monastic order. In fact, they were so strict that the monks had to take a vow of silence which could only be broken every five years, and then only with two words. After his first five years, the monk went to see the abbot for his two-word interview. ...read more

    Toward A Kinder, Gentler Creation Series

    Contributed by James Wallace on Dec 18, 2018
     | 4,770 views

    The Humility, Gentlness and Kindess of God was displayed in how he entered this world--as a gently, humble baby who would eventually deal with our sins with the same humility, gentleness and kindness in order to reconcile us to Himself. What an Awesome Savior and God!

    Toward a Kinder, Gentler Creation Luke 2:1-20 This month our nation mourned the passing of George Herbert Walker Bush, the 41st president of the United States. The thing that I remember most about the first George Bush was a theme that he wanted to characterize his presidency. He wanted us to be ...read more

    based on 1 rating
     | 27,514 views

    The principle and practice of God's people gathering together in the presence of the Lord in a house dedicated to Him for the purpose of corporate praise and worship is clearly taught throughout the Bible by command, precept and example.

    WHY WE GATHER TOGETHER Psalm 84:10 "For a day in thy courts [is] better than a thousand. I had rather be a doorkeeper in the house of my God, than to dwell in the tents of wickedness." Psalm 122:1 " I was glad when they said unto me, Let us go into the house of the LORD." Matt. 18:20 "Again I ...read more

    based on 5 ratings
     | 7,311 views

    How often are we discouraged when things do not go the way we planned? Is it our lack of faith, or a plot from the enemy to stop us from serving God?

    Have you ever had something go completely south on you? Especially in ministry this can be very troubling. I had an experience like that once - when I had pledged my life to a cause and jumped in with both feet - then it seemed like Satan attacked others and removed me from that I could no longer ...read more

    Philadelphia: When Faithfulness Is Protected Series

    Contributed by David Dunn on Feb 2, 2026
     | 113 views

    Philadelphia reveals faithfulness without strength: Jesus sees quiet obedience, keeps His people near, opens doors by grace, and promises permanent belonging forever.

    By the time we arrive at Philadelphia, we think we’re on familiar ground. The city of brotherly love. We’ve heard the phrase before. We know how it’s supposed to sound. No Quakers. No Liberty Bell. No 76ers or Eagles. No cheesesteaks. This Philadelphia is older than the phrase as we use it—and ...read more

    When God Shuts One Door, He Opens Another Series

    Contributed by David Dykes on Oct 11, 2006
    based on 47 ratings
     | 189,915 views

    Sometimes our disappointments in life can become God’s appointments, so don’t let closed doors bother you. The things we think of as failures and problems can often end up being blessings in disguise.

    INTRODUCTION It seems doors of opportunity open and close before us in life. Is it God opening and closing these doors? For many years I’ve heard the saying, “When God shuts one door, He opens another!” Well, no, those exact words are not found in the Bible anywhere. However, of all the phrases ...read more

     | 1,979 views

    It all goes back to the heart. Guard your heart. Keep your heart encouraged. And in prayer, always believe in your heart that God is there and will answer.

    There have been a few times in my life when I felt God’s presence depart from me. And it was for the purpose of testing me, to see what decision I’ll make without his presence strong upon me. Don’t get me wrong, God was still with me in those times. He hadn’t left me or forsaken me. But, his ...read more

    Contributed by David Dunn on Sep 19, 2025
    based on 1 rating
     | 151 views

    Idolatry isn’t about statues; it’s anything we trust more than God, but Christ calls us from these false securities into an unbreakable covenant of love.

    Introduction – An Unforgettable Ride It’s just as well that I have forgotten most of my hitchhiking stories. But one memory has stayed with me, as clear as if it happened yesterday. Back in April of 1975, I was hitchhiking in the early spring. It seemed like winter, even though the calendar said ...read more
