Spontaneous Generosity (3 of 4)
by Zach Terry
So far in our series we have learned: for the entire series - Maximum Life with Zach Terry in Podcasts. Or fbfirst.com. - Everyone wants to be blessed, and to be blessed you have to be on blessing ground and we said that the prime real estate for blessing is - generosity. Because something Jesus said over and over was, ''It is more blessed to give than to receive''. - Last week we dispelled the ''Myth of Mine'' buy learning that God owns everything and we are stewards who are expected to leverage all that we have for the pleasure of the true owner God. - Today I want to introduce you to what is perhaps the most exciting aspect...
You Can Walk on Water
by Jerry Vines
When Jesus walked on the earth, He performed miracles. Acts 2, verse 22, says that Jesus Christ was a man approved of God among you by miracles and by wonders and by signs. A miracle is a supernatural intervention of God into the natural course of things. When Jesus does a miracle, it is God doing what He chooses to do with His own creation. As you study the miracles of the Lord Jesus, and there are over 30 of them recorded in the New Testament, you will discover that many of those miracles took place in and around the Sea of Galilee. In fact, you may recall that one time Jesus was using the ship of Simon Peter...
The Courage of Our Convictions (1 of 4)
by Jeff Strite
OPEN: The philosophy final at U.C.L.A had many blank pages for the answer to one question: "What is courage?"Most of the students wrote frantically, giving examples, expounding on theories. But one of the classmates turned in his essay with just two words on it to describe what courage was. He wrote: THIS IS. And he received an A. APPLY: What is courage? With all due respect to that student from UCLA… courage is far more than a clever response on a college exam. That student "took a chance"; he took a risk. He gambled that his cute answer would get him the teacher's attention and approval. And he was right. But true...
How to Be Grateful When You Don't Feel Great
by Steve Jones
INTRO: The Sunday School Teacher asked little Jimmy if he prayed every night. He said ''No Maam. Some nights I don't need nothing.'' We're often better at ''asking'' in prayer than we are at ''thanking''. ILLUSTRATION: A man dreamed he went to heaven and Peter gave him the tour. The first room they stopped at was large and full of bustling activity with angels flitting to and fro. The man asked ''What's going on?'' Peter answered ''This is RECEIVING where all the prayer requests come in, get processed by angels and forwarded to God.'' Then they walked to the next room which was also large, and busy with angels. ''What's this room...

Walk or Swim (10 of 10)
by Stephen Whitney
The novel Robinson Crusoe written in 1719 is sometimes regarded as the first English novel. It is the story about the 28 years he lived all alone on an un-inhabited island after a shipwreck in which everyone else perished. Rejecting his father's pleas, Crusoe left home in search of wealth and adventure. His life was one of recklessness and godlessness until after a terrible storm at sea he finds himself stranded on a deserted island in the Caribbean. He manages to fetch arms, tools and other supplies from the ship. He then proceeds to build himself a fenced-in place to live. He keeps a calendar by making marks in a piece of wood, hunts...
Take Courage (1 of 4)
by Stan Coffey
We are beginning a new series of message entitled, ''Jesus Said'' In the next few weeks we will read some of the most important words that ever came from the mouth Lord. Today's message is, ''Take Courage.'' Jesus spoke these words to his disciple when He came walking to them on the tops of the waves of the Sea of Galilee.Now this story has been often ridiculed by the skeptics and the scoffers. You see, mankind who can go to the moon has trouble believing God can walk on water! But I don't have any trouble believing God can walk on water. I know that what God is teaching us in this story is that we are to walk on water. We are to be unsinkable saints in the midst of the storms of life. And...
Walking On Water (2 of 17)
by Jerry Vines
When Jesus was on the earth He performed many miracles. A miracle is a supernatural intervention of God into the natural course of things. When Jesus performed miracles it was God doing what He chooses to do with His own creation. The New Testament gives us about 35-recorded miracles of the Lord Jesus and many of these miracles occurred in and around the Sea of Galilee. Remember the miracle when the Lord Jesus had just preached a sermon using the boat of Simon Peter as a pulpit. Jesus ordered to catch a fish. The word got out all over the Sea of Galilee that the Master of the Sea had ordered a catch. So the fish...
Walking Through the Storm, a Matter of Faith
by M. Jolaine Szymkowiak
During our lifetimes, we will have experienced the storms of wars, the storms that evolve around the death of family members and friends, tragic illnesses and crises of all kinds. We have experienced the horror of Oklahoma bombings, two attacks on the World Trade Center in New York City, wars in Afghanistan and Iraq, school shootings, the destitution and disregard for life present in our cities suburban and urban areas. We have been through one hurricane after another, one tornado and earthquake after another and yet survived. We seem surrounded at times by the many storms of life, emotionally, physically and mentally....
Faith up to Reality! (5 of 8)
by Dennis Marquardt
INTRO: The Roman soldier had good armor to cover most parts of his body, but it was impractical to cover literally every area such as eyes, arms, elbows, lower legs, etc. To cover everything would mean a man couldn't move!! This was not desirable on the battlefield. So, what was the solution to those areas left uncovered? A LARGE SHIELD! The kind of shield Paul mentions here was not the small hand held type; it was a huge shield that was large enough to literally cover the entire body of the soldier. It was covered with leather that had been soaked in water so that the fiery darts of the enemy would become stuck on the shield...
Jesus To The Rescue
by Jerry Watts
The ''World English Dictionary'' defines rescue in this way; 'to bring someone or something out of danger, harm, or attack…and to deliver or save.'' This story is about rescue on many levels. For several years I was a volunteer fireman, today my brother is a professional fireman and EMT. On more than one time, I have been privileged to rescue people from harm's way. In January, 1976, my last call as a volunteer fireman in Cantonment was to a train derailment. The cars which had derailed contained chloride - whose gas can be fatal. We found one couple in bad shape less than a mile from the spill. We were able to...
Faith Walk (3 of 4)
by Jeff Strite
Open: A Scotsman, was taking a trip to the Holy Land, and when he got to the Sea of Galilee he was aghast when he found it would cost fifty dollars an hour to rent a boat to go out on the water. "Hoot mon," he said, "in Scotland I could ha got a boat for about $20.""That might be true," said the boat man, "but you have to take into account that the Sea of Galilee is water on which our Lord Himself walked.""Well, at $50 an hour," said the Scotsman, "it's little wonder He walked."APPLY: How much would you pay to walk where Jesus walked? ILLUS: About 6 yrs ago, someone built a 262 ft. long transparent bridge just below the surface of the...
Strong from Start to Finish (1 of 3)
by J.D. Greear
We all have the experience of starting things with enthusiasm and then petering out along the way, right? I did a basic Google search on ''things we start well but don't finish'' (and I thought my computer was going to have a heart seizure by how many things the search turned back-142 million articles). Here are a few of them: - Diets: How many in the midst of a lapsed diet right now? - Workout plans. - Med school. - College. - Navy Seal training. - Running a marathon (The highest percentage of people to ?dropout of a marathon is at mile 18-they don't know why it's that mile. I think that's your body saying, ''This is a bad idea...
Victory Over The Storm (6 of 6)
by Stan Coffey
Now this story has been often ridiculed by the skeptics and the scoffers. You see, mankind who can go to the moon has trouble believing God can walk on water! But I don't have any trouble believing God can walk on water. I know that what God is teaching us in this story is that we are to walk on water. We are to be unsinkable saints in the midst of the storms of life. And it is amazing as I look at this passage, verse 14; the Bible says Jesus constrained His disciples to get into the boat and to go across to the other side. Jesus was the omniscient Son of God. He knew all things. And yet Jesus knowing that a storm was brewing...
Get Out of the Boat (1 of 5)
by Jim Perdue
Have you ever wondered what it really means to walk by faith? I mean, this is something we hear in church and in Sunday School a lot, but what does it mean in the real world? You're facing a tough situation or circumstance, you've lost your job and you're almost out of money. You talk with someone at the church and what do they say? ''Well, you've just gotta walk by faith...'' How encouraging! How uplifting! What in the world does that mean? Let's take a moment and look at a biblical example of real faith. READ TEXT A couple of years ago while I was youth pastoring in Creedmoor, NC, we took a group of youth to King's Dominion...
The Supernatural Side of Life
by Richard Bradley
Supernatural ''Of, pertaining to, or being above or beyond what is natural; unexplainable by natural law or phenomena; abnormal.''Superstition ''A belief or notion, not based on reason or knowledge, in or of the ominous significance of a particular thing, circumstance, occurrence, proceeding, or the like. Knowledge of the supernatural is a good thing. However, knowledge of the supernatural and superstition are two different things. The disciples, like most people of their time, were more superstitious than anything. While we should give place to the supernatural our knowledge of the supernatural must be based on the truth of God's Word...
You Gotta Get Your Feet Wet! (4 of 7)
by Roger Thomas
The veteran guides at the tourist park in the Alps say they have seen it happen time and time again. The day almost always begins the same way. A few dozen tourists sign up for a day of mountain climbing. The brochure promises a never to be forgotten experience. The hike will take about eight hours total—up and back with a lunch break at a midway station complete with restrooms. It will be rugged but do-able for anyone in reasonably good condition. Parts are steep, but most of the trail will be gentle switchbacks. Experienced guides, wide paths, and guardrails at needed points guarantee a safe return. That is what the...
The Season Of Storms (3 of 7)
by Stan Coffey
Today as we continue the series on The Seasons of Life, we're going to talk about The Season of Storms. If any area of the country knows about the season of storms, it ought to be our area, amen? We have the greatest weather in all the world. But there is a season of storms, of tornadoes, and normally that comes in the springtime of the year, from early springtime through the springtime and late summer. And the tornadoes come across our way, and we know what it is to keep our eye on the storm and to watch and see what kind of weather is coming. And as we make our plans for activities outside or we make plans...
Baccalaureate Message: Going the Distance!
by Roger Thomas
This is a day of celebration. We have a large group of people who are celebrating 'graduation.' Most of us seem to have the wrong concept about graduation, I know I did when I graduated. Most people believe graduation to be the 'end.' Certainly, it ends a chapter in your life, you have now completed some level of learning, and perhaps you are proficient in something. But to graduate is not THE END. Education was never intended to teach you ALL you need to know in life, rather it simply equips you with the mental tools you need to live life. However, whether you are graduation from Nursery School, Middle School...
It's Time to Get out of the Boat (11 of 11)
by Jeff Schreve
If you have your Bible, please turn to Matthew chapter 14. We are finishing our series called, ''Footsteps: What it Really Means to Follow Jesus.'' And our subject today, has to do with Peter and Jesus walking on the water. I've entitled this message, ''It's Time to Get out of The Boat.'' Now I heard about a pastor, and he was preaching, and it's the end of the service. And before he dismissed the people, he said, ''Right after the service at the back there'll be a meeting of the board.'' And so he concluded. And there was a little group there. And the pastor went back there to the meeting and saw a visitor there and he, thought...
