God's Vision Is Not about Me (3 of 4)
by Lenny Ports
We are in the ''Fresh New Vision'' sermon series and the big question that we have answered here is that GOD HAS A VISION FOR YOUR LIFE. GOD'S VISION IS BIGGER THAN YOU CAN SEE God's vision for our lives is BIGGER than it appears right now. The REALITY of what God desires to bring to pass in your life is so much bigger than you can imagine. Did you ever take your hand or your finger and cover up an object you see in the distance? Like putting your hand over the moon or your finger over a star? You know that the objects are a lot bigger than they appear. You can imagine that you can erase a star...
What on Earth Am I Here For?
by Curt Dodd
I'm starting a new series called ''Bull's Eye Living''. And today I want to address the question 'Why on earth am I here?', which is one of the things I hear from many of you. What am I here for? What is life all about? Or if I was to ask you a question - Why do you think you are here? Here is what some of you have said: ''I don't know - it's an accident. My parents didn't intend to have me.'' Why are you here? ''I don't know, I've never thought about it.'' What's your role in life? What are you all about? ''Grow up, breath, pay taxes, and die.'' Bull's eye living. Imagine a bull's eye, you know one of the targets an archer uses. And there are all...
You Shall Not Steal (2 of 3)
by Brian Fletcher
Introduction: Story of buying used projector from Eden Resort in Lancaster. Came back and read...NIV Psalm 62:10 Do not trust in extortion or take pride in stolen goods; though your riches increase, do not set your heart on them. 1. What is Stealing? Forcibly taking something from someone else. It could be something as big as stealing a car or stealing a pencil. Either way we are taking something that does not belong to us but to someone else. Some people might say, ''Well, I've never stolen a car, and seriously a pencil is not that big of a deal.'' Ok, how about some of the following things: Cheating on income...
Loving the Unlovable
by Dave Gustavsen
Good morning. Today I want to talk about what it means to love people…who we find unlovable. Do you have any of those in your life? Sometimes it's people who have radically different views from us. You're a devoted Hillary supporter, and there's a guy across the hall at work who always comes in wearing his ''Make America Great Again'' hat. And it bothers you. Or maybe it's someone who has deeply different views about global warming, or Black Lives Matter, or religion. And every time you see this person, you feel this combination of disgust and anger and, if you're honest, maybe even hatred. Sometimes it's people who...
Power of Prayer! (8 of 8)
by Dennis Marquardt
INTRO: Paul has spent considerable time explaining the armor of the Christian soldier, now he tells us where the battlefield is. Since he explained earlier that our battle is not against ''flesh and blood'' but against ''the powers of this dark world…and the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms'' (Eph. 6:12) he now tells us that this battlefield is our prayer closet! We underestimate the power of prayer! We also undervalue the importance of it! So many Christians have weak or non existing prayer lives. The biggest loser when we fail to pray is US! Prayer is the power to change everything … and the loss of prayer cannot be made...
Relying on Divine Intervention (8 of 10)
by Stephen Whitney
The Bible is filled with stories of God's divine intervention in the lives of people who were not able to help themselves out of some impossible situation such as: Daniel in the lions den, his three friends put into the fiery furnace, Elijah who was fed by ravens, Peter who walked on the water and was released from prison. Why do we need God's divine intervention in our lives? 1. Our ability to help ourselves is limited. - We cannot stop diseases from overcoming us. - We cannot heal our illness or sickness. - We do not control how long we will live. 2. We are not able to control the circumstances around us. - We do not control the heat or cold...
What on Earth Am I Here For? (1 of 5)
by J. Gerald Harris
Some of you here will remember the song, ''Alfie.'' It was popular a number of years ago. The words were written by Hal David and the music was written by Burt Bacharach. Listen to the words: What's it all about, Alfie? Is it just for the moment we live? What's it all about -- when you sort it out, Alfie? Are we meant to take more than we give, Or are we meant to be kind? As sure as I believe there's a heaven above, Alfie, I know there's something much more, Something even non-believers can believe in. I have entitled the sermon for today ''What on Earth Am I Here For?'' But I guess I could have entitled it ''What's It All About, Alfie?...
The Why's of Suffering
by Ernest Easley
Now as you're turning in God's Word to 2 Corinthians 1, I want to ask you a very personal question: Have you ever wondered why God permits suffering and affliction in the lives of His children? I mean, if God really is the ''good, good Father,'' that we enjoy singing about, then why would a ''good, good Father,'' allow suffering and sickness and heartache and trials to come to those whom He loves? Well, that's what I want to talk to you about today from this first chapter of 2 Corinthians: The Why's of Suffering. Can you know why God permitted that sickness that took your spouse? Can you know why God allowed that deep sorrow...
The Local Church Is the Hope of the World
by Jerry Watts
This morning I begin with a confession. These five Core Beliefs which we agree and have now spent 5 weeks on have been my personal core beliefs for almost 15 years. In praying about this message, I was attempting to recall where I had first heard this concept and was reminded that while at Glorietta (1996), Bill Hybels spoke these words and the truth contained therein stuck, ''The Local Church IS indeed the hope of the world.'' Then in 2002, Bill wrote ''Courageous Leadership'' and included his personal words about this truth; ''There is nothing like the local church when it's working right. Its beauty is indescribable. Its power...
The God Of The New Testament Verses The Gods Of The New Age
by Nelson Price
JESUS CHRIST said in the latter days there would be many people Saying '''I am the Christ' and will deceive many'' (Matthew 24: 5). He continued, ''Then many false prophets will rise up and deceive Many'' (Matthew 24:11). We live in that day. Presently there is a world-wide ovement That some scholars who have studied it say will have the impact On world thought that the reformation had on Europe and America. It is called the New Age movement.The New Age assault has become so mixed and mingled with Established values and institutions that it is hard to identify It. Wheat and tares have never looked so much...
No Gods Other than the Lord (1 of 10)
by Joe Alain
''You shall have no other gods before Me.'' The first message in a series of ten sermons on the Ten Commandments. A husband and wife were discussing the possibility of taking a trip to the holy land. The husband said to his wife, ''wouldn't it be great to visit the holy land and stand on Mount Sinai and read the Ten Commandments?'' His wife replied, ''It would be even better if we stayed home and kept them!'' Morals today, even among many Christians, have drastically declined. For many people, the Ten Commandments have become the Ten Suggestions. The moral decline hasn't happened over night; it's been steadily...
Only God (3 of 9)
by Jim Perdue
Today, we continue a series on the life of Elisha. We have seen this faithful prophet of God who lived a life of amazing faith. And the reality is, if we would exercise the same faith, we could see God do amazing and incredible things in our lives as well. Today, from 2 Kings 4:8-37 I want to talk to preach a sermon I've entitled, Only God. Have you ever experienced one of those moments where you know, if God hadn't intervened, it would have all been over. If God hadn't stepped in, you would have never made it. If God hadn't provided, you would've gone under. That's a situation I like to call, an ''only God'' situation...
Effects of Doing Things God's Way
by Jerry Watts
Philippians 1:5 says, ''Because of your partnership in the gospel from the first day until now.'' - I am here because of our partnership - and a great partnership it is. Much is going on in this association of churches. Partnership with our sister Association who has been deeply impacted with a 1000 year flood. We have sent supplies, personnel, money and will be sending more. Their DOM will be speaking at our upcoming Spring Meeting In the last month, we have had DR Training, a benefit Golf Tourney to raise more Mission Money, and have offered Sentinel Training to help our missionaries be safe in their travels. I've been...
When God Fights for His People
by Richard Bradley
Joshua 10:12-15 12 Then Joshua spoke to the Lord in the day when the Lord delivered up the Amorites before the children of Israel, and he said in the sight of Israel: ''Sun, stand still over Gibeon; And Moon, in the Valley of Aijalon.'' 13 So the sun stood still, And the moon stopped, Till the people had revenge Upon their enemies. Is this not written in the Book of Jasher? So the sun stood still in the midst of heaven, and did not hasten to go down for about a whole day. 14 And there has been no day like that, before it or after it, that the Lord heeded the voice of a man; for the Lord fought for Israel. 15 Then Joshua returned, and all Israel with...
What Is God's Desire for Us? (8)
by Patrick Edwards
We have arrived at the end of Job's story this morning and thus we ask: what does God desire of us in response to who He is and what He has revealed of Himself. Throughout this book we've been asking can we trust God, meaning can we believe that He really is doing what is best in our lives and in the world at large. This, of course, has been Job's struggle throughout the story, for though his friends were convinced he was suffering as a result of some sin in his life, Job knew that he had done nothing to ''deserve'' his suffering. All that he could conclude was that God had made some mistake. But what we've seen in Job's story...
