Sermons on Your God Reigns:

When Your Walk Wanes

Contributed by Bruce Willis on May 10, 2007

This sermon teaches what you need to believe about your “union with Christ,” “your identity in Christ” when your faith is weak; not what you need to do, but what you need to BELIEVE!

Riding by churches you see a lot of quips and quotes on church signs. One that I see from time to time has to do with our walk with the Lord. It goes something like this, “Exercise Daily, Walk with the Lord.” That’s well and good, but what happens “When Your Walk Wanes”? What happens when you ...read more

Asking For Your Inheritance

Contributed by Reuben Bredenhof on Mar 16, 2021

Our greatest treasure, the inheritance that we seek, isn’t down here: not in the stuff, not in the people, not in the honours. But seek God. Desire Him. Long for the one inheritance that is incorruptible, that is undefiled, and that does not fade away.

They say that children should never talk about their inheritance. Sure, one day Mom and Dad might leave something to the kids. But until that day, children shouldn’t worry about what they’ll receive, or daydream about how to spend it. We know what happened to the Prodigal Son, when he started ...read more

Swallowed Up Or Spewed Out Series

Contributed by Joseph Smith on Jun 6, 2003
