God Is for You - Part 1 (1 of 4)
by Fred Lowery
This series is born out of my walking on my new hip and asking God to restore me physically, emotionally, spiritually because I don't know about you but I don't stay where I need to stay with the Lord. I'm not always where I need to be. I haven't arrived. I don't have it all together. I still have ups and downs and so it's - God is a God of restoration and He wants to continually restore us. You know the Golden Gate Bridge - Leigh and I were out there in San Francisco several years ago and we went to Alcatraz and stayed a few - a little time behind the bars there and but we were fascinated with that huge bridge and we found...
Joel: Prophet of the Day of the Lord (39 of 54)
by Stan Coffey
AUTHORSHIP: The name "Joel" means "YAWEH IS GOD." Of this prophet, we know only that which appears in this book. Joel had an intimate knowledge of the service and personnel of the temple, but he does not appear to have been a priest. He was a native of Jerusalem and a man of deep spiritual insight. He saw eternal principle in temporal scenes and to the coming of the drought and the proliferation of the devastating swarms of locusts. He read the great and notable "day of the Lord."THEME: "The day of the Lord." He mentions "the day of the Lord" four times. Chapters 1:15, 2:1, 2:11, 2:31, and then he mention-s "the day of the Lord!' a fifth. and final time in Ch. 3:14.The phrase...
Judgment Is Coming (1 of 5)
by Jerry Watts
One of the forgotten, if not dismissed, truths from God's word is that this world is on a collision course with Almighty God (Elohim). While it is true that God is a god of love, grace, and even mercy, what people of today may well need is a reminder of the truth that God is a God of justice and judgment. Today we begin a walk through the prophecy of Joel. Not a great deal is known about Joel, but we would do well to know a great deal about what Joel wrote. Why? Because of the first verse in this prophecy, "The word of the Lord that came to Joel son Pethuel." Even though we have little knowledge of Joel and less of Pethuel, it is in our...
Joel: The Day Is Coming (10 of 20)
by Roger Thomas
Introduction: Sometimes events happen that we never forget. September 11, 2001 was one of those events. Pearl Harbor was another. Sometimes we mark the years by the natural disasters. Some will never forget the Dust Bowl years, the big snowstorm of '69 or the floods of '93. I will never forget the rain of July '96 in Aurora, IL. Seventeen inches in twenty-four hours. It started about 10 AM on a Wednesday morning and never stopped until about sunrise the next day. I remember looking out my bedroom window in the middle of the night and watch water pour out of the sky like a faucet had been left on. We lived on the high point...
A Prophetic Grid for Victory in the Modern Church
by Jimmy Evans
Introduction: Even though the principles of God's word are always true, there are seasons and situations which require special insight and instructions. America is currently in such a season. As James Dobson stated this year, ''America is in a moral free fall.'' Every fiber of morality and Judeo-Christian ethic is being questioned and attacked from society, Satan's kingdom and even within the church. The result is social confusion, spiritual disillusionment and moral decay and imminent collapse. As we will see in the book of Joel, God has an answer for such a time as this, if we will be careful to receive it and...
O What a Day! (3 of 3)
by Jerry Vines
There are twelve books in the Old Testament which fit in the category of the minor prophets. A better title I think would be "The Twelve." The word, minor, does not refer to the fact that their message is minor because their message is certainly not. It refers to the most part to the length of their books. These twelve books of the Old Testament prophets, at the end of your Bible, are not as long as some of the others, but their message, I will assure you, is not a minor message.You and I know that Joel is a prophet of God. he is one of these twelve prophets whose message has been preserved for us in the pages of our Bible.A prophet of...
What Happens When God Pours out His Spirit
by Jesse Hendley
Now if you have your Bibles, friends, you may turn with me to Joel, chapter 2, verses 28 and 29, where we are studying about the Outpouring of the Holy Spirit. God said, "I will pour out My spirit upon all flesh."We have studied about the outpouring of God's Holy, Spirit, which means GOD coming into the HUMAN HEART, God coming into the human race, God manifesting Himself richly to man. God possessing the minds, bodies and souls of people who will LET Him come in, making our very personalities His Dwelling Place. Then real revival comes. We raised the question "What happens, when God pours out His...
The Valley of Decision
by Dick Onarecker
The first thing you must understand about this message is what it is not. It is not the picture or portrayal of one man standing in the valley of decision, deciding whether or not he will serve God. This is not the picture of a place where a man will have ANY decision that he is allowed to make. The time for men's decisions is past.The second thing you must understand about this passage is what it is. The name Jehoshaphat is a word comprised of several Hebrew words which literally mean, "the Lord, Jehovah, even God, He will judge." That tells you what this valley is. It is the valley where God will decide: the valley of God's judgment...

Are You Sure You Want God to Show Up? (3 of 17)
by Larry Osborne
The reality that God prefers forgiveness over judgment is a profound comfort to us all. The culmination of God's love for us is demonstrated through the sending of his son, Jesus, and the sacrifice of his life so that we might have life. As we close this quarter, we want to remember what Jesus has done for us and who we are by taking communion. In preparation for this, read through Psalm 86:1-11. Write down what it says about who God is, what he does for us, who we are as his followers and how we can come to him.
