The Word of God Is Quick and Powerful (4 of 6)
by Stan Coffey
We'll be continuing the series on THE WORD FROM THE LORD. In Jeremiah 37:17, the king asked a great question. There are may great questions in the Bible. The question asked by God Himself when Adam and Eve had sinned and were hiding in the Garden of Eden. God came forth and said, ''Where art thou?'' That's a great question from the Bible. The question posed by Cain when the blood of his brother Abel cried out from the ground, the blood of the brother whom he had murdered. The question was, ''Am I my brother's keeper?'' The great question by Nicodemus who said, ''When a man is old, can he enter his...
Power of Words
by Mark Karris
Illustration- Shut Up! You're no good! You're lazy! You're stupid! You will never make it! What is wrong with you! Your too old! No one wants you! No one likes you! You can't do it! You're ugly! Get away from me. You're a Homo! Why can't you be more like your brother! I am sorry you were ever born! Why are you not perfect? You're crazy! You're fat! What kind of Christian are you! Give up! God's not with you! You a preacher, Yeah right! Revival, give me a break! You will be stuck in this sin forever! Fallen Condition Focus- Most of us if not all of us have heard some of these words and messages that were spoken. We have been...
Don't Stop, Go On! (5 of 13)
by Michael Romero
Entering into the fifth week of study of the book of Hebrews I want to continue to develop the idea of ''rest''. Last week we were in chapter three and this week we are going to be talking about the first 13 verses of chapter four. The reality is that the two texts, both last weeks and this weeks should be looked at as a continuous flow of information concerning the rest that God would have us enter. The children of Israel had come to the edge of entering into Canaan, the land of promise and 10 spies had come back convinced that the whole of Israel would not be able to enter as their was ''giants'' in the land. There were unconquerable...
The Personal Grace of Christ (3 of 3)
by Jason Dees
Hebrews 412 For the word of God is living and active, sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing to the division of soul and of spirit, of joints and of marrow, and discerning the thoughts and intentions of the heart. 13 And no creature is hidden from his sight, but all are naked and exposed to the eyes of him to whom we must give account.14 Since then we have a great high priest who has passed through the heavens, Jesus, the Son of God, let us hold fast our confession. 15 For we do not have a high priest who is unable to sympathize with our weaknesses, but one who in every respect has been tempted as we are, yet without sin. 16 Let us then...
The B-I-B-L-E
by Rex Yancey
The Bible IS the inspired Word of God. It has been breathed out from the very heart of God. He oversaw the writing of the entire Book. He made sure that only what He intended and nothing but what He intended be found in it. We can take confidence in the veracity of Scriptures. The Bible has been given inspired titles. It is called the Word of God. This title speaks of both the written Word and the incarnate Word. The only revelation we have of incarnate Word is in the written Word and the incarnate Word always leads us to an appreciation of the written Word. 1. THE BIBLE IS DIVINE IN ITS ORIGIN. Forty different...
The Scalpel and the Surgeon (2 of 4)
by Jeff Strite
Cosmetic surgery has become very popular in our present-day society. In one of the books I read a year ago, I ran across some unique surgeries that people actually pay money to have done to their bodies: Back in 2010 more than a million American women underwent lip augmentation surgery. They paid between $l,500 - $3,000 to have their lips plumped up. And to do that they surgeons used silicone, paraffin wax, and cow-collagen injections... and some women have opted to enhance their lips with purified tissue from their own skin taken or even from research cadavers. Just makes you want to pucker up, doesn't it? Then there...
People of the Word, Not the World (2 of 5)
by Terry J. Hallock
As we continue this journey into understanding who and what we were meant to be as the Church, we return briefly to two first principles. Number One: we are Jesus' Church and no one else's! In Matthew He declared, ''On this rock I will build my church and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.'' Jesus is the architect, builder, and sustainer of this Church because it is His Church. Therefore our first desire must be to let Jesus have His Church back, for if we surrender to any other master but Christ we'll no longer be the Church Jesus built and thus we'll no longer be the Church Jesus protects. Number Two: As Jesus...
Dare to Be Great
by Adrian Rogers
Take your bibles and turn with me please to the book of genesis. That ought not be hard to find. That's the first book. And then, go to chapter twelve. Today we're beginning a brand new series of messages entitled 'the school of faith'. The school of faith and the title of this particular message is, 'dare to be great'. I wonder if you think that it is wrong to want to be great? I suppose most of us would just bow our heads and say, well you know, uh! Hah haa, I don't want to be great. It would be wrong for me to want to great. My dear friend it would be wrong for you not to want to be great. But you must understand that it is true greatness...
Brokenness: The Evidence of God's Activity in Your Life
by Rick Ferguson
Question: If you went through a time of intense pain and suffering and disappointment, and you prayed and prayed and prayed--yet nothing seemed to happen--and no relief came, How Would You Interpret That? *Would you wonder if God had abandoned you, r*Would you see that as God's customized activity in your life? Would you interpret your pain and unanswered prayers as God's Abandonment or God's Activity? I suspect if we were honest, every one of us has been through an episode in life exactly like I just described and probably everyone of us has at least once in our lives become discouraged and distraught and felt as though...
Counsel from the Coach (18 of 18)
by J. Gerald Harris
Mrs. Thompson cocked her perky little head over to one side and said, "Well, there's one good thing about him. He is always on the job."Well, I can absolutely assure you that that is correct. And because he is always on the job, we're going to have to be vigilant in resisting him. An elderly preacher is reported to have prayed the following prayer each day: "O, Lord, give me a backbone as big as a saw log and ribs like the large timbers under the church floor. Put iron shoes on my feet and galvanized britches on my body. Give me a rhinoceros hide for skin and hang up a wagonload of determination in the gabled end of my soul....
Where No Counsel Is Ignored (9 of 10)
by Brad Whitt
INTRO: Alright men, and our ladies who are here this morning, take your Bibles and be finding your place at Proverbs chapter 3. We are quickly coming to the conclusion of our series of studies on what it means to live a life that's worth living that we began back in February. If you're our guest this morning, what we've been doing in this series of messages is taking a look at the great stories and people of the Bible to discover just what are the characteristics of conspicuous Christians. ILLUS: Now, while you're finding your place there, I don't know how many of you watched ABC Primetime this past week, but they did a one hour special...
Counsel Concerning Marriage (6 of 10)
by Joe Alain
1. In this chapter Paul addresses a wide range of issues relating to the believer and singleness and marriage. As new believers, the Corinthians had many questions for Paul which he addressed for them (7:1). 2. Paul deals with specific questions and issues. It's important to note that he does not give us a complete theology of marriage in this chapter. 3. Paul will refer back to Jesus' teachings and he will give instructions for issues that Jesus did not deal with. However, Paul is not disclaiming divine inspiration (see 7:6, 10, 12, 25), he is merely distinguishing his present teaching from that of what was common knowledge that...
God Is Never the Problem
by Duane Bemis
There was a preacher that put everything on his resume. He went to an associational meeting and it fell upon a country preacher to introduce him. The country preacher got up and began to thumb through his resume. He went to an associational meeting and it fell upon the country preacher to introduce him. The country preacher got up and began to thumb through his resume. Finally, he said, "Folks, if he is as good as this says he is, let's get it one. If he is not, let's get it over with!"Jesus said, "By this shall all men know that you are my disciples in that you have love toward one another. This love is 'agape' love. It is God's kind of love....
The Problem of the Tongue (1 of 6)
by Chuck Booher
Book by Robert Morris and his sermon notes: huge thanks. Time Tim when he was little and told Sue's friend: ''You use drugs'' If you would control your words, you would be perfect! You would be able to control every other area of your life. You could accomplish nearly anything! What we are talking about is that big! Listen to how the Message puts this... James 3:1-12 (The Message) 1 Don't be in any rush to become a teacher, my friends. Teaching is highly responsible work. Teachers are held to the strictest standards. 2 And none of us is perfectly qualified. We get it wrong nearly every time we open our mouths. If you could find someone...
The Blessing of Brokenness
by Rick Ferguson
Have you ever wondered, "Why do bad things happen to good people?" Every thinking person grapples with these tough questions of life. And believers are no exception. All of us who know, love and trust Christ are still faced with the reality of suffering, evil, pain and injustice that is present in the world. And if we were totally honest, all of us would have to admit there have been times when: We could not make any sense out of the suffering we encountered. Our faith was shaken by the pain and problems we were facing. We questioned God and wondered how God could possibly let "THIS" happen to us. Note: By the way....
Brokenness
by Jerry Watts
In the year 2000 when I stepped away from ministry because of health issues, my first cousin gave to me a book by M. R. Dehaan of the Radio Bible Class entitled, ''Broken Things.'' Were I to have the financial resources, I would buy every person I know a copy of this book. This book reveals a Biblical and God-honoring view of this thing called brokenness. Think about it: In the physical world we buy things, they break, so we throw them away. In the relational (or social) world, we gain friends, they break (I.E. character, morals, etc), and sadly, we throw them away (to find some more). In the church world, we gain new members....
