    God's Word: Nourishment For The Spirit

    Contributed by Larry Brincefield on May 28, 2004
    based on 29 ratings
     | 8,789 views

    The Bible provides nourishment for our spirit, much like food and water provide physical nourishment. We need to accept the authority of God’s Word; Incorporate the truth of the Bible into our thinking; and Apply it to our lives.

    (I borrowed from William Richard Ezell’s sermon published in The Preacher’s Magazine—using his outline and some of his ideas. But I also included enough new material that I thought it worthwhile to post. I don’t have footnote material on the magazine. If anyone has it, please email it to me, and ...read more

    Th celebration of the Lord’s Table causes us to think of what God has done for us in the past and allows us to move confidently into the future. This was true for the people of Israel as they traveled from Egypt to the Promised Land.

    based on 29 ratings
     | 5,846 views

    A lot of people plateau because they think once they become a Christian, that’s it -- they’ve arrived. If you want to make progress, trade in that attitude for one that says, "I’m going to grow!" *HANDOUT INCLUDED*

    Trade-offs for a happy 2005. Everything plateaus when until you’re willing to make the trade-off. <ILLUS> Mt. Climber up Mt. Everest – started out with cameras, tripods, exotic foods, etc. Discarded them one by one. He had to make the trade-off to keep on climbing upward. Trade in “I’ve ...read more

    Psalms 139:17 tells us, "How precious also are thy thoughts unto me, O God! How great is the sum of them." I list several ways in which God thinks about us.

    As we enter into the thanksgiving season I want to take time to thank Our Heavenly Father for all He does. Life is too short to list all the blessings He has bestowed upon me.In fact, I don’t have enough ink or paper to write them all down. So I just want to share why I am thankful that God thinks ...read more

    I don’t think we serve a second rate God that is happy with our leftovers. If really believe that there is none like God, then there should be nothing like the commitments and sacrifices we are willing to make to please Him.

     | 2,697 views

    Thinking of who Christ is, knowing all that He did, causes me to understand how I must have Him in my life. Jesus saw the faith of disciples in Him but not to believe in themselves to ge it done.

    “WHO CAN THIS BE?” Intro: When we begin to study the wonderful things of this Bible, it causes me to think about the number of people that just refuse to believe that there can be a God so wonderful and great. God is so magnificent that it is hard for man to imagine someone being willing and able ...read more

    When you are going through the winter of your soul you can do three things to make it through. 1. Fix your eyes on Jesus 2. Endure to the end 3. Think about the joy that is ahead

    Jesus said “many that are first shall be last, and the last shall be first.” He meant to teach just one thing: That some who think they’re first in the world are going to find themselves last in heaven.
