Since Everything In My Life Is Going Wrong, I Must Be Out of God's Will (8 of 8)
by Stan Coffey
Take your Bible and turn to Genesis 50:15. This is the last in our series of messages on "Breaking The Lies That Bind." We have looked at many of Satan's lies in these messages and how they bind us and keep us from being all that we can be. And how they place us in prisons of fear, prisons of doubt, prisons of discouragement and depression, and today we are going to look at this lie that I am sure you have been told by the devil. And it is this, when everything in my life is going wrong, it must mean that I am out of God's will. You look at your life and it seems that so many things are not going right. Maybe you lost your job, maybe you...
Where Is God When Disaster Strikes? (7 of 11)
by Roger Thomas
We have all witnessed the horrific aftermath of Hurricane Katrina. Rose and I had a special interest in those events as we watched them unfold last Monday. We were there a month ago. On July 31 when our family vacation ended, we decided to take a detour home. We drove across southern Alabama and Mississippi so we could see New Orleans for the first time. We stayed in a hotel a couple blocks from the Super Dome. We walked a half-dozen blocks to Bourbon Street in the French Quarter to see the sights and eat in one of New Orleans legendary restaurants. We walked and drove on many of those streets that...
Disaster Strikes (1 of 5)
by Dave Gustavsen
This morning, I would like us to begin thinking together about suffering. Doesn't that sound like fun? It's not, really. But it's tremendously important and relevant and personal and emotional, and I think God is going to use these five weeks in more ways than we know. So from these first two chapters of Job, I want to talk about three things today: The Problem of Suffering, The Power of Suffering, and The Partnership of Suffering. Okay? The problem, the power, and the partnership of suffering.So first, let's talk about The Problem of Suffering. Job is a fascinating...
The Stars---God The Creator In Job 38
by Jesse Hendley
In Job 38 we have a wonderful statement of God, about His tremendous power and of His creation. How wonderful is our God in His marvelous creation of the universe. We want to realize what He has done for us. In Job 38, verse 1, we read, ''Then the Lord answered Job out of the whirlwind and said, Who is this that darkeneth counsel by words without knowledge? Gird up now thy loins like a man; for I will demand of thee, and declare thou into Me. Where wast thou when I laid the foundations of the earth? Declare, if thou hast understanding. Who determined the measures thereof, if thou knowest? Or who stretched the line...
The Fear of God (7 of 7)
by Jeff Schreve
So if you have your Bibles, please turn to Proverbs chapter 1. We've been in a series on Wednesday nights talking about fear, "God's Answer for Your Fears." And tonight, we're going to finish up with a message on "The Fear of God, The Fear of God."Did you know the Bible says, tells us over and over about the fear of God? That phrase, "The fear of the LORD" is used 25 times in the Bible. It's used 14 times just in the book of Proverbs, "The fear of the LORD." And there are other instances in the Bible where they talk about the fear of God, or the fear of Him, or we're to fear Him. Arguably, the fear of God is the most important theological...
Hurricane (2 of 5)
by Kerry Shook
''Before very long, a wind of hurricane force, called the 'Northeaster,' swept down from the Island. The ship was caught by the storm and could not head into the wind; so we gave way to it and were driven along.'' Acts 27:14,15 (NIV) AN ATTITUDE THAT ADAPTS TO CHANGE ''When neither sun nor stars appeared for many days and the storm continued raging, we finally gave up all hope of being saved.''Acts 27:20 (NIV) Look past the pain to the positives of change Three Positive Benefits of CHANGE: Change can grow my character ''Sometimes it takes a painful experience to make us change our ways.'' Prov. 20:30 (GN)...
Who Is God and Can He Be Trusted? (7)
by Patrick Edwards
When I was in college I used to frequently go outside at night and find somewhere high above the skyline where I could just sit quietly and gaze into the night's sky. My first year at UVa this meant walking out my dorm and hiking up what was called Observatory Hill. But when I moved off grounds it meant foolishly climbing up the roof of my house. Looking back on it I realize what a foolish and dangerous thing it was. I'd go up into the attic where we had some Dutch Colonial style windows that you could kind of dangle yourself out of to get onto the roof, on which I'd then carefully climb to the roof peak and sit. (Things you do when you're 20...
Living without an Explanation (5 of 5)
by Jonathan McLeod
'''Who is this that hides counsel without knowledge?' Therefore I have uttered what I did not understand, things too wonderful for me, which I did not know'' (Job 42:3). SCRIPTURE READING The book of Job is a book about suffering. Job was a man who experienced great suffering. He lost his wealth, his children, and his health. In chapters 3-37, Job complains about his suffering, and his friends tell him why they think he's suffering. Then in chapter 38, God speaks. [Read Job 38:1-7; 40:1-14; 42:1-17.] GOD IS NOT OUR PERSONAL ASSISTANT In the 1960s, Elisabeth Elliot wrote a fictional novel entitled No Graven Image. The story is...
Who Is God? God Is Good! (3 of 9)
by Steve Jones
INTRODUCTION: Most of you probably know the childhood prayer we all learned to pray before a meal: ''God is great. God is good. Let us thank him for our food.'' But did you learn the proper POST-MEAL prayer? It is especially appropriate at Thanksgiving: ''God is good. God is great. I can't believe how much I ate.''God is good. That's what we're going to talk about today. If you're new to us this morning then you should know that we are in a sermon series entitled, ''Who is God?'' In this series we're are focusing on the attributes of God. This is the third sermon in the series. By way of review we talked about why we would even ask this...
What God Decrees and What God Permits (3 of 8)
by David Cawston
There are two ways of thinking. Thinking Horizontally or thinking Vertically! Horizontal thinking is human thinking. We much prefer to live in this here-and-now realm, seeing life as others see it, dealing with realities we can touch analyze, prove, and explain. Vertical thinking, thinking by faith! But God offers a better way to live - one that requires faith, one that opens new dimensions of thought, and introduces a perspective with human limitations. A prophet by the name of Jeremiah was called by God to minister on His behalf. Jeremiah was afraid to accept the assignment because, form his perspective, he was too young, too...
I Believe in God
by Ike Reighard
Introduction: Last week we began a series entitled Bedrock Beliefs for the Shifting Sands of Time. Last Sunday I talked about "Why I Believe in Believing," and I talked about faith. Romans 11:6 tells us "that we must believe that He is a rewarder to those who seek Him."Today I want to talk to you about who I believe in, and that is God. (Pascal -- "God shaped vacuum.") Job 22:21 says, "Acquaint yourself with Him, and be at peace; thereby good shall come to thee."Jeremiah challenged us with a word from God when God said, "Thus saith the Lord, let not the wise man glory in his wisdom, neither let the mighty man glory in his might, let...
Striving with Sovereignty
by Ron Dunn
INTRO: Man has recurring tendency to ANTICIPATE GOD-- preconceived idea as to how God should save, deliver, etc. Often those who are longing for God, praying, expecting miss God altogether when He comes in unexpected ways. We look for a dramatic sign in the sky and He works through the steady course of events; for the fire or earthquake and He speaks in the still small voice We look for a KING ON A THRONE and He comes as a baby in a stable. WE WANT TO BE DELIVERED OUR WAY... Some had rather say in bondage than accept God's way of release. The method of deliverance becomes more important than the...
God's Precious Diamonds
by Geralyn McGill
A man named Cyrus, a conqueror who subdued many nations is named in this Scripture, in Isaiah 45 Cyrus is prophesied to 200 years before he was came to power. Let's read the first two verses: 1Thus saith the LORD to his anointed, to Cyrus, whose right hand I have holden, to subdue nations before him; and I will loose the loins of kings, to open before him the two leaved gates; and the gates shall not be shut; 2I will go before thee, and make the crooked places straight: I will break in pieces the gates of brass, and cut in sunder the bars of iron:Cyrus is said to have founded the Persian Empire. Cyrus accomplished seemingly...
Know Fear: The Fear of God (6 of 6)
by James Merritt
Introduction: 1. I am concluding the series of messages we have entitled - fear factor. I am afraid fear may have gotten a bad rap, because some fear in life is good. In fact, some fear is even necessary. Small children need to be taught to be afraid of a hot stove or else they will be burned. As they get older, they need to be taught to be afraid of a busy street or else they may get hit by a car. As they become teenagers, they need to be taught to be afraid of driving a car too fast or they might be killed.2. The fear that I am going to finish this series with is not only a good fear, it is a vital fear. It is vital for the survival of a nation. It is vital for the...
God Is Good! (3 of 11)
by Joe Alain
The Bible affirms that God's creation is good. "God saw all that he had made, and it was very good. And there was evening, and there was morning-the sixth day" (Gen. 1:31). And yet because of the presence of sin in the world, sometimes there are conflicts between God's good creations. As believers in Jesus, we know that even in times of adversity God is at work. That is why we can say as Job did after some difficult trials, "Shall we accept good from God, and not trouble? In all this, Job did not sin in what he said" (Job 2:10). Job affirmed the goodness of God in the midst of his adversity. James in James chapter one has been telling us that trials and tests in life are designed to make us better not...
Romans 8:28 of the Old Testament
by Ken Trivette
One of the most familiar verses in the N.T. is Romans 8:28: "And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to His purpose." 2. Romans 8:28 assures that God has a purpose for our life and that all things have a purpose in our life. Romans 8:28 has many times comforted, calmed, and challenged our heart. 3. The O.T. equivalent to Romans 8:28 is found in Genesis 50:20. 4. Background: The Funeral of Joseph's Father The Fear of Joseph's Family 5. What was Joseph's answer to his brother's fears? One of the most thrilling truths we find in the Bible. 1. THE PROBLEMS...
Right Fear (3 of 9)
by Marion Clark
Introduction: Do you ever compare your church to others? Do you ever look around and say to yourself, ''I wish we were like them?'' That certainly is easy to do when we read about the early days of the church. There was excitement; there was harmony and love; there was fear. Fear? Yes, the right fear.Text Now the full number of those who believed were of one heart and soul, and no one said that any of the things that belonged to him was his own, but they had everything in common. 33 And with great power the apostles were giving their testimony to the resurrection of the Lord Jesus, and great grace was upon them all. 34 There...
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...
If I Was God... (22 of 54)
by Keith Krell
One of the facts that humans have yet to master is that we cannot outperform God. In the movie Patch Adams, the main character (Robin Williams) is an unconventional medical student who believes that humor and compassion are the most important tools of the doctor's trade. His idealism is shattered when his girlfriend, who has helped him start a free clinic based on these principles, is murdered by one of the psychotic patients. As Patch stands on a high cliff pondering suicide, he has the following monologue with God: So answer me please-tell me what You're doing...You can create man, man suffers enormous amounts of...
Why Do We Have to Suffer?
by Richard Bradley
19 Joseph said to them, ''Do not be afraid, for am I in the place of God? 20 But as for you, you meant evil against me; but God meant it for good, in order to bring it about as it is this day, to save many people alive. 21 Now therefore, do not be afraid; I will provide for you and your little ones.'' And he comforted them and spoke kindly to them. NKJV We all know that occasionally bad things happen to good people. Of course bad things happen to everyone both good and bad. However, we don't usually notice that. More often than not we're only aware of what happens to us or people like us. Jesus warned His disciples that both good and...
