    There Us One God, The Father Of All (What Every Mother Should Know About God) Series

    Contributed by Roger Hasselquist on May 16, 2023
     | 1,108 views

    Every mother should know that when there is no father in the picture, Psalm 68:5 says that God will be there for that family. It says, “A father of the fatherless, a defender of widows, is God in His holy habitation.”

    Alba 5-14-2023 THERE IS ONE GOD, THE FATHER OF ALL (What Every Mother Should Know About God) Ephesians 5:6 Jim Blevins, a minister in Louisiana, told how on one Mother’s Day he was preaching in another state and during the Sunday School class he told about one of the two times that he sassed his ...read more

    I'm All In

    The widow is ‘all in.’ She holds back nothing, keeps nothing in reserve. What would it be like to live like that? What would it take to live an ‘all in’ life?

    TITLE: I’M ALL IN SCRIPTURE: ST. MARK 12:38-44 Jesus has just recently entered Jerusalem, in that triumphal entry that we observe on Palm Sunday. But he has also recently driven out of the temple those who were selling and buying, angrily declaring that this HOUSE OF PRAYER HAS BECOME NOTHING ...read more

    Closing The Door For A Divine Encounter

    Contributed by Rev. Samuel Arimoro on Mar 14, 2025
    based on 1 rating
     | 533 views

    The widow in 2 Kings 4 teaches us that divine encounters require faith, obedience, and separation. When we shut the door—removing distractions and focusing on God—miracles begin to unfold.

    CLOSING THE DOOR FOR A DIVINE ENCOUNTER By Rev. Samuel Arimoro Main Text: 2 Kings 4:1-7 "Then he said, Go, borrow thee vessels abroad of all thy neighbours, even empty vessels; borrow not a few. And when thou art come in, thou shalt shut the door upon thee and upon thy sons, and shalt pour ...read more

    Treating People Right Series

    Contributed by Tom Fuller on May 20, 2005

     | 8,578 views

    What is the appropriate response to bad leadership, or people that you have to correct that are older or younger than you? Find out - along with how Paul told Timothy to treat widows on the church payroll.

    Paul gives Timothy some pastoral advice on how to treat various groups in the body of Christ: older and younger men, older and younger women, widows - and then elders. Finally he gives Timothy some very personal advice. It’s possible that these two groups - widows and elders - were the focus of ...read more

    A Chronicle Of Faith Series

    Contributed by Lynn Malone on May 30, 2016
     | 8,375 views

    This sermon explores Elijah's interactions with the widow of Zarephath, and we learn that God never abandons us, faith requires obedience, and to receive a blessing I must be a blessing. Faith was the key to Elijah's ministry.

    Hebrews 11 has been called God’s “Hall of Faith.” Like the Hall of Fame in sports or other arenas of life, Hebrews 11 gives us the names and tells us, if ever so briefly, what God’s people accomplished “by faith.” We hear such profound accomplishments ...read more

     | 5,515 views

    The prophet Elijah was God’s instrument to test this Gentile widow’s trust. It’s easier to be reminded of God’s promises than to act on them.

    As someone who has moved 27 times in my life, I know that God decides how long we remain in place. I received orders from the Pentagon, but I regarded them as from God. Elijah was directly told when to move. We, on the other hand, do not have supernatural guidance, or access to God’s ...read more

    The stories of the two widows provide for us to understand and practice the spiritual discipline of giving. We serve a giving God, we are transformed through giving and giving brings balance and harmony in our lives.

    Scripture: Mark 12:38--44; 1 Kings 17:8-16 and Hebrews 9:24-28 Subject: Giving - Extravagant Giving Proposition: The two widows stories show us how to be extravagant givers.

    Pray Without Ceasing

     | 7,792 views

    Luke included the Parable of the Unjust Judge to encourage the people. The parable is about waiting and not losing hope, heart or faith. If we pray earnestly, faithfully and regularly, Jesus will find faith when he does return.

    Have you ever wanted something so much that you kept asking for it time and time again until you finally got what you wanted? If so, you can understand how the widow in the Parable of the Unjust Judge felt. She kept going to the judge until he finally decided to hear her case. In Jesus’ ...read more

    This funeral sermon is based on the story of the widow of Nain and the promsises of Jesus to enable us to live without fear because He has conquered death and freed us from Satan’s grip of fear.

    The point of this study is to see the necessity of obedience in this first matter (they were to do this so as to provide for the Levite, the stranger, the widow, and the orphan of those among them) before a prayer for blessing can be uttered by the Israel

    Introduction: Last Wednesday PM we examined what Deut. 26:1-11 teaches. We examined it from the perspective of giving thanks in prayer for all that the Lord has done for us. The Israelites here were to review their past history of how the LORD had rescued them and preserved them and brought them ...read more

     | 4,525 views

    The parable of the unrighteous judge and persistent widow teaches us much about the need for persistence in prayer and how God moves in our lives to answer our prayer and bring about God’s will.

    Luke 18:1-8 “The Art of Asking” INTRODUCTION I received an E-mail message that contained a list of questions with no clear-cut answer. • Why do doctors and lawyers call what they do practice? • Why is abbreviation such a long word? • Why is a boxing ring square? • What was the best thing ...read more

    Pray And Believe! Series

     | 6,321 views

    Based on the Parable of the Persistent widow, this sermon encourages people to pray and pray and pray again. We preached these sermons in conjunction with the Pray 21 project that brings youth and adults together to pray for 21 days.

    BELIEVE AND PRAY! Believe and pray! This may sound backwards. Should we not pray believing that God will answer our prayers? Yes, but this simple little exercise of semantics puts the foundation of faith before the act of prayer. Many of us pray but few of us believe that our prayers will be ...read more

    Paul lists different people groups in the church and then advises Timothy how to treat them. 1- The older men 2- The younger men 3- The older women 4- The younger women 5- The widows

    INTRO.- We must admit there is a discrimination in our world: racial, political, religious, financial, and any other kind you want to talk about.

    Bridling The Tongue

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Dec 31, 2013
    based on 6 ratings
     | 8,788 views

    The same tongue which responds to God’s manifest glories by blessing His holy name also denigrates the poor - the widow, the orphan, and the resident alien - who, like us, are made in His image.

    BRIDLING THE TONGUE. James 3:1-12. “If anyone thinks he is religious, and does not bridle his tongue but deceives his heart, this man’s religion is vain” (James 1:26). James 3:1. James begins his elucidation of this text with a warning against seeking pre-eminence amongst the brethren. This ...read more
