    God Helps Those Who Help Themselves

    Contributed by Austin Mansfield on Oct 28, 2007
    based on 4 ratings
     | 6,938 views

    We’ve convinced ourselves that “God helps those who help themselves.” Many people believe that’s even in the Bible. It’s not. In fact, I can’t think of anything more unbiblical.

    In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. May the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable to you, Lord, my rock and my redeemer. Amen. (Psalm 19:14) What an awesome healing story in today’s Gospel! I’m not referring to the cure; I’m referring to the ...read more

    Sunday Morning

    When the people of the Bible gathered together, it was to BRING worship to God. Somehow, today, we seem to think we come to church on Sunday Morning to GET something from God. Shouldn’t we be GIVING thanks instead?

    Invocation: God, you who created the eye for seeing, the ear for hearing, and the mind for thinking, be here with us in our worship. Help us through your Spirit to hear your word and discover new and vibrant ways to live in your abundant mercies. Help us Lord to see Your presence at work all around ...read more

     | 3,301 views

    Many often associate the Sabbath with the Old Testament covenant and don’t think much of it because Christians today are not under the Old Testament. Many as a result miss out in understanding its true and rich value for us today.

    Significance of the Sabbath Theme: How the Sabbath rest affects Christians today INTRODUCTION A. Many Christians have a good working knowledge of the Sabbath. 1. The seventh day of the week, which was a commanded day of rest. 2. This commandment was given only to the house of Israel. 3. Thus, we ...read more

    I have done a lot of thinking about the problem of how to evaluate your own success in the ministry. We can say that we shouldn’t compare ourselves to others. That’s true, but we do it anyway.

    Grumblers Anonymous Matthew 20:1-16 (I preached this sermon at the Spring Bible Conference at New Brunswick Bible Institute, April 26-29, 2007.

    Have you ever heard the expression, "I would like to buy him/her for what their worth and sell them for what they think their worth?" To God your eternal soul is worth more than all the gold of this world.

    DIVORCE is never pleasant, especially when children are involved, but Abraham doesn’t count on them getting lost. Most people don’t stop to think about the consequences of divorce or how much it will effect the next generations.

    Part 3 - Genesis 21:14-21 - MY KINGDOM FOR A GPS! When we left to Pastor a Church in the Whitsundays we left our children, Ben and Rachel, behind in Sydney.

    We know that Christ’s return is imminent. The Bible contains prophecies that could not have been fulfilled until this generation. It’s encouraging to think that we appear to be living in the generation that will ultimately witness the most important and e

    Regardless of what the world calls love and thinks about love, we must consider what God says about love. 1- Love is a continuing debt 2- Love is a command of God 3- Love is a completion of the law

    There’s a time, for all of us, I think when we believe…but we don’t have the foggiest idea what that means. That must be a little like what the first disciples of Jesus Christ felt.

    In our lives we think that we are in control and the world would have us believe that it is our life and we can live it like we want too. However it’s not what God has intended for us.

    We hear the Christmas story every year. The same events; the same characters; the same location. We sing Christmas carols that retell the story over and over again.

    Jesus challenged Nicodemus and us because He challenges our pride and status, or because we think that all we have done is now useless. The human Jesus shows us how to live without being uptight.

    Two men standing in a garden to talk; so much alike and yet so different. Two men, with much on their minds, with eternal issues at stake, and yet with very human concerns too.
