Dealing With The Thorns In Our Life

Contributed by Terry Detwiler on Jan 26, 2007

Paul says in 2 Corinthians 12:7 that he was given a thorn in his flesh, a messenger of Satan, to torment him. What is it that torments him? What is this thorn in his flesh?

Key Text: 2 Corinthians 12:7 2 Corinthians 12:7 (NIV) 7 To keep me from becoming conceited because of these surpassingly great revelations, there was given me a thorn in my flesh, a messenger of Satan, to torment me. 2 Corinthians 12:7 (KJV) 7 And lest I should be exalted above measure ...read more

I've Got Joy?

Contributed by Carla Powell on Dec 22, 2007

This sermon was preached on Gaudete (Joy) Sunday (3rd sunday in Advent). I wasn’t feeling very joy-filled, though I felt called to preach on joy (and used that hesitancy as part of the sermon focus). It’s my best "grumpy sermon on joy" ever.

It’s been a rough couple weeks for me. My wallet was stolen last Wednesday. My step-grandfather died – two days ago. I woke up feeling sick and lost my voice - yesterday. Almost got stuck in the snow last night. Had to park around the corner and traipse home in the deep snow with the wind whipping ...read more

Studies In Revelation Chapter 8 Series

Contributed by Edward Hardee on Oct 12, 2011

This is a study of chapter 8 in the book of Revelation. This is a controversial subject but takes a conservative approach to understanding the book.

Note: I used many sources to study this book, one of my favorites is Revelation: God’s Word for the Biblically-Inept by Daymond Duck and some out of different study bibles. Title: The Seventh seal and the four judgements Text: Revelation 8 What happened in our previous chapter? Who opens ...read more

The World Turned On Its Head

Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Sep 1, 2013

The world sees a phrase like "you are just, O Lord" and "sinlessness" and thinks they are a foreign tongue. But we need to turn the world on its head so they can see the need for forgiveness, and its availability.

17th Sunday after Pentecost EF A reading from the Letter of St. Paul to the Ephesians 4: I therefore, a prisoner for the Lord, beg you to lead a life worthy of the calling to which you have been called, 2 with all lowliness and meekness, with patience, forbearing one another in love, 3 eager to ...read more

Brides - Wicked And Righteous

Contributed by Greg Nance on Mar 22, 2010

Who is this Prostitute riding the beast from Hell? A close look at the Old Testament prophets reveals a surprising possibility! Who is this new bride of the Lamb? Is it not the church?

What do you think about weddings? Timothy was our first child to get married. When I performed the wedding for my son and his bride, weddings took on a whole new meaning to me. There I stood, a father joining his only son and his son’s beautiful bride in marriage. I knew it before, but at that ...read more

Religion vs. Relationship

I will start by reading a book excerpt from the June 3,1989 issue of Today in the Word, published by the Moody Bible Institute. As I read, see if you can guess whom is being spoke of. He made free use of Christian vocabulary. He talked about the blessing of the Almighty and the Christian ...read more

Running In The Valley

Contributed by Craig Benner on Nov 7, 2012

Jesus comes off the mountain and finds a heap of problems in the valley. It is like that for us many times as we look at seeming defeat in the face and cannot understand why.

Down from the Mountain and Roaming the Valley Isa 5:20 Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!

Hearing The First Six Trumpets (Revelation 8:1-9:21) Series

Contributed by Garrett Tyson on May 26, 2023

The trumpet judgments, are God's call to the world to repent, and come to him. But at 9:21's end, no one listens. A no-rapture, academically rigorous reading of Revelation.

Let's begin today by taking a step back, and reminding ourselves of the big picture of Revelation, starting in chapter 5. We need to somehow keep at least three chapters together in our mind, for today's passage to make sense. In Revelation 5, the Lamb, Jesus Christ, suddenly appears in ...read more
