Profile of a Spiritual Champion (1 of 8)
by Stan Coffey
Today I speak to you on ''The Profile of a Spiritual Champion''. What is a spiritual champion? What does a spiritual champion look like? Of course in II Timothy 4:7-8 we see a spiritual champion that has been there, one who has succeeded, one who has come to the end of his life and has always been a champion for Christ. The Apostle Paul, to me, is the man to whom we should look other than the Lord Jesus if we want to see the profile of a spiritual champion. In Reader's Digest not long ago they published the seven characteristics of an Olympic champion. I was in Atlanta when they announced that Atlanta would...
When the Final Gun Sounds (7 of 7)
by Jeff Schreve
Yogi Berra, he's a household name in the world of sports. Yogi Berra played baseball for the New York Yankees. He was a catcher for the New York Yankees. And then he became a manager. He's in the Hall of Fame. But Yogi Berra is not known as much for his baseball really as he's known for the dumb things that he has said. Yogi is a person who has the grasp of the obvious, and he's a guy that can just take a phrase and butcher it and make it so funny, not trying to be funny, but that's just the way he comes across. There is a whole book of phrases from Yogi Berra. They're called Yogisms. You can find them on the Internet. Here are...
The World's Greatest Book
by Ernest Easley
We're thinking tonight about The World's Greatest Book. And of course I'm referring to the Bible: the Word of God. God never intended for us to simply endure His word .. but rather to enjoy His word. Written over a 1500 year span and covered more than 40 human generations .. written by more than 40 different authors from every walk of life (fisherman, poets, shepherds, kings, tax collectors, doctor, scholars, military leaders, political officials and more. On top of that .. it was written on three different continents (Asia, Africa and Europe); in three languages (Hebrew, Greek and Aramaic) and covers a variety of subjects (many of which are considered controversial) and yet .. with all of its diversity....
How to Finish
by Ken Trivette
1. Paul is coming to the end of his life and ministry. He seems to know in his heart that the time of his "departure is at hand" (2 Tim. 4:6). As he contemplates his death, J.C. Ryle said he was looking three ways. He was looking downward as he looked at the grave. He was looking backward as he thought his life and ministry. He was also looking forward as he thought of the Day of Judgment. 2. Andrew Telford said he was looking forward to his release, looking backward to his record, and looking upward to his reward. 3. Warren Wiersbe said he was looking around because he knew life was short. He was also looking back...
2 Timothy: Stand up for Jesus (18 of 29)
by Roger Thomas
An old song from our hymnals provides a fitting backdrop for 2 Timothy. Listen to the words written in 1858 by George Duffield, a Presbyterian minister in Philadelphia. Stand up, stand up for Jesus, ye soldiers of the cross; Lift high His royal banner, it must not suffer loss. From victory unto victory His army shall He lead, Till every foe is vanquished, and Christ...
Faith for the Last Days
by Steve Jones
INTRODUCTION: At the pinnacle of a soaring career in the U.S. Army, Lt. Col. Mark M. Weber was tapped to serve in a high-profile job within the Afghan Parliament as a military advisor. Weeks later, a routine physical revealed stage IV intestinal cancer in the thirty-eight-year-old father of three. Over the next two years he would fight a desperate battle he wasn't trained for, with his wife and boys as his reluctant but willing fighting force. When Weber realized that he was not going to survive this final tour of combat, he began to write a letter to his sons, Matthew, Noah and Joshua, so that as they grew up without him, they would know what...
Godlessness Revealed (1 of 5)
by Stephen Whitney
We live in a society filled with violence. Every night on the evening news we hear of people being shot or stabbed because of some argument. We hear of adults killing a young baby because they were upset that he or she would not stop crying. Violence is becoming more and more prevalent in our society because people care about themselves more than anyone else. One example of violence was the murder of John White in a quiet neighborhood in southwest Cleveland. The killer was a 19-year-old hired by White's two kids. His 17-year-old son and 14-year-old daughter who paid $60 to have their own father killed. His daughter...
Raising the Bar (2 of 3)
by Jeff Strite
OPEN: In Washington D.C. there is a building called the "National Institute of Standards and Technology." This facility is responsible for storing perfect samples of weights and measurements. They have what are called "prototypes" of pound weights and kilograms. Measuring rods for feet, yards and metric measurements like meters. For example, they have a "Meter Standard" a reinforced bar of platinum alloyed with exactly 10% iridium. When they want to know the exact measurement of a "meter" they cool this bar down to 0 degrees Celsius at a sea level of 45 degrees latitude then they know they will have the exact tip to...
That the Seasons Become Me (2 of 11)
by Wayne Hinson
Intro: In the course of a day on this earth, shadows are always present in the evening hours. Just before the sun goes to bed for the night, shadows always present a time when our vision might not be as clear as it was in the morning and noon day hours. In comparing this with our lives, one would automatically think that our vision would be somewhat impaired in the evening hours of our life. However, in reading and studying this portion of Paul's writings to young Timothy, we are surprised to discover that the aged apostle probably has the clearest spiritual sight and vision of his life. As he gazed into the hereafter, I believe Paul may...
What Are the Signs of the End Time and How Can I Be Ready?
by David Cook
Introduction: Does anyone really know what time it is? I'm not talking about the hour of the day; I'm talking about the time of the Lord Jesus Christ's rapture of the church! Do you know what time it is spiritually speaking? Are you ready to see Jesus face to face? Let's dig into God's Word and find some answers about the signs of the times and also become ready to meet with Jesus at any time. I. These Are Difficult Times "But know this, that in the last days perilous times will come..." (1) You ought to underline or circle that word "perilous." The word perilous means "hard to bear" or "hard to deal with." How many of...
