"god Won’t Give You More Than You Can Handle" Series

Contributed by Fred Sigle on Jan 12, 2023

I know you have a Scripture in mind that you believe actually states that "God won't give you more than you can handle", but that is not what the Bible says.

Last week we began a series entitled: “THE BIBLE DOESN’T SAY THAT”, looking at some popular sayings that many BELIEVE are found in the Bible, but are not. 1. The first one we studied last week was: “God wants me to be happy.” (If you missed that lesson, you can listen to it in the ...read more

Contributed by Dean Courtier on Sep 26, 2024

Each one of us carries a story shaped by experiences, choices, and circumstances that often explain who we are. However, while our past may provide context, it cannot serve as an excuse for how we live today.

Biblical Authority

Contributed by Bob Joyce on Aug 23, 2007

This sermon is from a Southern Baptist point of view concerning biblical authority. Even among Southern Baptists there is not complete agreement on the authority of Scripture. My point of view comes from my belief in the inerrancy of Scripture.

Introduction With the exception of the Lord Jesus Himself, the Bible has been the single most important influence in my life. When Paul wrote of Timothy, "From childhood you have known the sacred writings which are able to give you the wisdom that leads to salvation through faith which is in ...read more

“Open my eyes to see the wonderful truths in your instructions.” (Psalm 119:18, NLT) This verse is a cry of humility, dependence, and hunger. It’s not just a request for physical sight but for spiritual illumination—to see, understand, and delight in the deep treasures of God’s Word.

Matthew 5 - Part 14 - What Do You Do When Someone Hates You? Series

Contributed by Ross Cochrane on Jan 4, 2010

Jesus goes beyond the legal matters again. The CASE you have against someone is not as important as the RELATIONSHIP you have with them. Jesus emphasizes that the RELATIONSHIP IS ALWAYS MORE IMPORTANT. Sometimes we don’t want it to be more important.

Matthew 5 - Part 14 - WHAT DO YOU DO WHEN SOMEONE HATES YOU? I remember years ago that a man wrote a nasty letter to me and included in it a curse and all kinds of false accusations. To this day, I don’t know why he wrote it. It was so vicious and untrue, but he had built up a case against me and ...read more

Contributed by Dean Courtier on Apr 28, 2025

The Christian life is not a spectator sport. We are not called to sit back, to be passive, or to simply admire what Christ has done. We are called to be His hands and feet in a broken world. We are called to move — to live out our salvation in acts of love, service, and obedience.

And if Jesus can raise Lazarus from the dead, anything is possible.
