Faith Is Expecting the Best (4 of 10)
by Stan Coffey
As we look at God's Word, we see a lot of facets to faith. Faith is like a kaleidoscope and as you look it from different perspectives, you see different aspects of faith. We know how important faith is because the Bible says, Apart from faith, it is impossible to please God." That's in Hebrews 11:6. Then again and again, we have talked about Matthew 9:29, when Jesus encountered the two blind men and made a dynamic statement. "According to your faith, so be it unto you." The blind men came to Jesus and He said, "What would you that I do for you?" They said, "Lord, that we may receive our sight." Jesus spoke...
And God is Able
by J. Gerald Harris
Last month I shared with you my state of the church message. In that message I suggested some goals and objectives for our church. I spoke to you about spiritual growth and numerical growth and financial growth. I tried to present to you the importance of being debt free in '93 so that we could build more in '94. I spoke to you about our church marching forward for God. About linking ourselves with an omnipotent God with whom nothing is impossible. This morning I just want to reinforce all of that by saying that our God is able. He is able to save the sinner. He is able to bind the devil. HE is able to heal the sick. He is able to...
Nothing Is Too Hard for God (12 of 13)
by Stan Coffey
Long ago in the Book of Jeremiah, the Word of the Lord came to Jeremiah. If you know anything about the Book of Jeremiah, you know that the prophet Jeremiah had a difficult ministry. Jeremiah ministered in the most difficult days of Israel. It was during the time of the last days of Israel when Israel was about to be taken captive. In fact, the northern kingdom went onto captivity. Jeremiah and Isaiah had warned the kings and had warned the people that if they didn't repent this was going to happen and they turned a deaf ear to the prophet. He saw very little fruit of his ministry. He watched them go into captivity. Then...
Is There Anything Too Hard For God?
by Adrian Rogers
I want to ask you a question this morning and it is a big question because it comes from a big person, it comes from almighty God. It is the title of our message this morning. The question is from God to Abraham, it is also from God to you this morning. I want you to listen to the question. It is found in Genesis chapter eighteen and verse fourteen, Genesis chapter eighteen and verse fourteen, turn to it and look at it. God had told Abraham that as an old man his powers of generation were dry and dead and withered, that he was going to have a child and Abraham and Sarah who were both past the age of bearing children began to...
A Life Restored (4 of 4)
by Scott Maze
Today, we conclude a four-week look at one of the most interesting people in history - the man named Job. Job is a really good man. God even calls him, ''...a blameless and upright man, who fears God and turns away from evil ...''(Job 1:8). He's so good in fact, that God tells Ezekiel years later: ''even if these three men, Noah, Daniel, and Job, were in it, they would deliver but their own lives by their righteousness, declares the Lord God'' (Ezekiel 14:14). So God places Job on par with Noah and Daniel here. But the plot really thickens because despite his goodness, Job suffers. This is where Satan enters into our story, the master of destruction....
God Is God and I Am Not (5 of 5)
by Dave Gustavsen
How do you deal with the tension of being a follower of God...in a culture that doesn't respect God or honor God? That's really the question that Daniel and his friends were trying to figure out. And you can relieve that tension by going in two different ways, right? You can pull out and become like the Amish-and some Christians have chosen that route, right? Set up our own Christianized version of everything, so we don't get tainted by the world. Or, you could go to the other extreme and just blend in like a chameleon-and some Christians have gone that direction, haven't they? They just keep quiet about the gospel and they try to be...
Jeremiah: A Light in the Darkness
by Ron Dunn
Jeremiah the prophet's in jail. The Chaldeans are laying siege to the city and Jeremiah has been preaching a rather unpopular message. He's been going around Jerusalem saying, ''You might as well give up, no use in fighting because God has raised up the Chaldeans and has assured them a victory and because of your sins the Chaldeans are going to overthrow the city and carry all of us into captivity, but God has promised that one of these days when the captivity is over He will restore us to the land and the land to us.'' So, Jeremiah was going around saying, ''There's no use in fighting. You're fighting a losing battle. God has...
Don't Be Afraid to Ask Him
by Ken Trivette
I read about a pastor who visited an invalid who was confined to a wheel-chair. The pastor said to her, "You are a great inspiration to me and to so many others! You are always cheerful and full of praise, even though your body is often racked with pain. How are you so contagiously cheerful and able to always praise the Lord?" She replied, "Pastor, I have a phone number that I constantly use!" "A phone number?" asked the pastor. "Yes," said the invalid, "It's JER-33:3." "JER-33:3?" "Yes, Jeremiah 33:3: "Call unto Me, and I will answer thee, and shew thee great and mighty things, which thou knowest not."As Christians we have...
I Should Be Able To Change Overnight (7 of 8)
by Stan Coffey
Let me share with you that this morning we are talking about change, about positive changes in your life. It is a continuation of last week's message and it is also the seventh in a series called "Breaking The Lies That Bind." Jesus said "you shall know the truth and the truth shall set you free." In other words there is a power in the truth that breaks the bonds of doubt and fear and hesitation and procrastination. We know we need a change but we put of that change. You know the syndrome, tomorrow, tomorrow I will start saving money, tomorrow I will go on a diet, tomorrow I will clean that closet. It is always tomorrow. And in...
I Want God's Power in My Life (3 of 4)
by Scott Maze
Good morning to our friends at Cross Church this morning. It's a special day for Cross Church as we recognize Joshua Jones and his ordination. Tonight is going to be fun for our groundbreaking. Everybody brings a shovel and everybody is in the picture because everybody did this together. Today, I want to encourage all of us to have the same mind to Love Loud. We are moving into a strategic time within our church's life. Beginning today with Love Loud and tonight with our groundbreaking, we are moving forward to a time of focused prayer on our strategic mission. How many of you want to live a life of obedience? How many...
He Is Able
by Stan Coffey
Jude 24-25 ''Now unto him who is able to keep you from falling, and To present you faultless before the presence of his glory with exceeding Joy.'' Jude, the writer of this epistle was not an ordinary follower of Jesus, although he was not one of the apostles of Christ. Jude was the half- brother of Jesus, though he never mentions that in the text. During the ministry of Jesus his half brothers did not believe in him but all that was changed by the death and resurrection of Christ. The name Jude is the English form of the name for Judah which means praise. Jude was writing when false teachers were attacking the church. New believers...
Now He Is Able
by William Wyne
Now unto Him who is able to keep you from falling and to present you before his glorious presence without fault and with great joy. To the only God our Savior be glory, majesty, power, and authority, through Jesus Christ our Lord, before all ages, now and forevermore! Amen. In the game of checkers, the goal is to jump over your opponent's checkers until you have them all. One-day two brothers decided to engage in a game of checkers. The younger brother had been practicing and developing his game of checkers, because he wanted to prove to the older brother that he was a better player than him. And sure enough, it was not...
When Circumstances Are Impossible (3 Of 4)
by Stan Coffey
Then Moses led Israel from the Red Sea and they went into the Desert of Shur. For three days they traveled in the desert' without finding water. When they came to Marah, they could not drink its water because it was bitter. (That is why the place is called Marah) So the people grumbled against Moses, saying, "What are we to drink?" Then Moses cried out to the Lord, and the Lord showed him apiece of wood He threw it into the water, and the water became sweet There the Lord made a decree and a law for them, and there he tested them He said, "If you listen carefully to the voice of the Lord your God and do what is right in his eyes...
A Faith Like Abraham (14 of 49)
by Jerry Watts
The word Faith carries many different meanings. First, it means ''belief in, devotion to, or trust in somebody or something and many times without logical proof.'' In fact, true faith will defy logic. Faith also denotes a 'system of religious belief or the group of people who adhere to it.'' For the last 5 weeks, our messages from the Romans epistle has centered on this word, ''faith''. The crowning principle which we continually learning and know is that the Bible teaches; for by ''FAITH'' are we saved through grace, and not of works or of ourselves, let any man should boast.'' When this truth is deeply embedded in our life then our messages...
What To Do When You Feel Like Giving Up (1 of 13)
by Stan Coffey
We do have a free gift for everyone who is here. I have just received a book that I have been anticipating for some time. I have had it done for some time and we were able to get it in from the publisher. It is called, What To Do When You Feel Like Giving Up. It is the same title as today's lesson and today's lesson is in this little book in an expanded form and it also includes my personal testimony and I believe it is going to be one of the most helpful little ministry tools that we are going to have because it really gets down to the heart of problems and how God's word applies to those. So we want you to have that as a gift from our class...
Who Is God? God Is Holy! (5 of 9)
by Steve Jones
INTRODUCTION: Let me start with a video clip this morning. It's one that should ring familiar to many of you who grew up with Sesame Street either as a child or a parent. This is a song entitled, ''One of these things is not like the other'' (Play the clip). There are many, many versions of this song used over the years to teach children how to differentiate. In the clip I used we saw three shells and a crab. The shells are different from the crab. Shells aren't alive, crabs are. Crabs are crustaceans, shells are empty exoskeletons. Crabs are in the animal kingdom. Shells are mostly in the mineral kingdom and consist of calcium carbonate....
How We May Know That The Bible Is The Word Of God
by Jesse Hendley
Now friends, if you have your Bibles, turn with me to Ephesians 3 and verse 20. The text "According to the power that worketh in us. "Question. How may we know the Bible is the Word of God? Now this is one of the most important things we can ever settle in our minds. The other day I was in a revival meeting in a certain city in Alabama and a Christian brother came to me at the close of the meeting and said, "I have a young lady whom I am trying to win to the Lord and she is coming to the services. She has a problem. She is honest, has an inquiring mind, and keeps asking me the question, "How may I know that the...
Walking as a New Creation
by Rick Ferguson
We have learned that Ephesians 1-3 talks of the wealth of the believer, while Chapters 4-6 talks of the walk of the believer, Paul says in Chapter 4, first of all, that the Christian should walk in unity (verses 1-16). now he will begin in verse 17 to teach us that the believer should walk as a new creation. We have discussed walking in unity, in great detail. We have discussed: (1) The God of unity (Ephesians 4:56) ''One Lord, one faith, one baptism, one God.'' (2) The guarding of unity (Ephesians 4:3) ''Endeavoring to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace.'' (3) The gifts of unity (Ephesians 4:11-12). (4) The growth...
What A Mighty God We Serve
by Ken Trivette
A little boy came home from Sunday School and his mother asked him what he had learned. He answered, "We learned that Moses went behind enemy lines and reed the Israelites. Then he took army engineers and built a pontoon bridge across the Red Sea. Then when the Egyptian tank division started across the bridge he called in dive bombers and blew them to bits." His mother looked at him and said, "IS THAT WHAT YOUR SUNDAY SCHOOL TEACHER IS TEACHING YOU?" The little boy answered, "Well, no mom, but if I told you what she taught us there's no way you would believe it!" 2. One survey found that 95...
