A Promise Is a Promise (7 of 7)
by Jeff Strite
OPEN: When you and I were children, there was a saying we'd often hear. I'm going to say the first half of the saying and let's see if you know the 2nd half: ''Cross my heart and (hope to die)'' What was that child saying? They were saying they've made a promise, and if they were to break that promise they would expect something bad to happen. Actually, the original phrase is a little longer: ''Cross my heart and hope to die. Stick a needle in my eye.'' The only thing kids could think of that was worse than dying was sticking needles in their eyes. I would tend to agree. Kids understand the importance of promises. In fact we parents learn that they...
The Promises of Blessing (4 of 5)
by Frank Damazio
We're feeling the Spirit of God breathing freshness into our spirit, a new wind of expectation. Jesus said, ''The thief comes to steal, kill, and destroy, but I give you real life, more and better life than you ever dreamed of.'' I expect that life. I expect good and very good things to come my way. When I pray, I expect something to happen. When I give, I expect something to happen. Do you have that expectation? The promises of God for you are real promises from a true and living God! Believe. Have faith. Lift your eyes. The blessings that come upon the generous giver are many and amazing. Definitions and key...
Possessing God's Promises
by Miles Seaborn
Introduction: The story of the nation of Israel is not only an account of an infant nation in history, but it is also a parable of our lives today. The text, Joshua 3 that we read is only one part of that story. In order to rightly understand the boldness of this experience, this venture of faith by God's people, let me remind you of the circumstances that surround this great event. First, this as a t me in which God's people were on the edge of the Promised Land ready to march to their inheritance. You remember the story well. God's chosen people, the Israelites, had spent hundreds of years in slave camps of Egypt. In their hearts burned a dream...
Waiting for the Promise
by Ron Dunn
'Bible promises,'' said Spurgeon, ''are checks drawn on Heaven's Bank that we endorse with faith and present to God for payment. True-but sometimes the checks are postdated! It's upsetting to find that God doesn't operate according to our time schedule. Assuming God will respond immediately to our prayers, we rise from our knees expecting to find the answer waiting for us. But more often than not, there is a waiting period between the asking and the receiving. And this presents a problem to twentieth century believers. In these days of instant coffee and instant credit we have a low tolerance for delay. ''Tomorrow,'' says Eric...
The Intersection of God's Promises and Life's Reality (1 of 7)
by Larry Osborne
1. This week we heard that God's promises are what give us hope and vision to take the next steps in the new opportunities and challenges God offers us. We also heard that God's promises come with conditions. As you read John 14, what promises and conditions does Jesus offer to the disciples prior to his crucifixion (and the challenges he knew they would encounter)? Looking back at what you wrote above, are there any promises or conditions you need to take special note of? 2. Following ''The Path Called Faith'' means we take Scripture seriously. How does Hebrews 4:12-13 reinforce the power of God's Word and the...
Fighting for Your Promise (1 of 9)
by Benny Perez
I want to start a New Series called Fight. The Bible talks about Fighting the Good Fight of Faith! That Jesus has secured the Victory but at times there is still a Fight. We might be Fighting the Flesh (Our Will), Fighting The Devil, Fighting For What Is Right. But make no mistake about it, there is a Fight. The difference is that we are not fighting in our ability or might. Rather we fight from a Position of Victory rather than fighting for the Victory. We know that the enemy is roaming around seeking whom he may devour. But he cannot devour you when you are aware. Remember that sometimes life is just a fight at times. But we will not give...
Claiming God's Promises (4 of 5)
by Stan Coffey
Today we continue in our series, ''New Beginnings,'' and I'm speaking today on this subject, ''Claiming God's Promises.'' God gave a man named Caleb a promise, but that promised had to be claimed. God has given promises to all of us, but we need to know how to claim them and make them real in our lives. We read in Numbers the story of when the twelve spies that Moses sent over into the promised land to spy out the land, came back and they are giving their report. Ten of them give an evil report and Joshua and Caleb give a victorious report. Numbers 13:26- ''And they went and came to Moses, and to Aaron, and to all...
Comfort of God's Promise (2 of 5)
by Stephen Whitney
Reverend John Harper was traveling to America aboard the Titanic to minister at Moody Memorial Church in Chicago when it sank on April 15, 1912 in the icy waters 700 miles off the coast of Canada. His wife had died a few years earlier, so his six-year-old daughter, Nana and her nanny, Miss Leitch, had accompanied him on the trip. When the ship began sinking, he placed is daughter and her nanny into a lifeboat and they were saved, but he was not. One persistent story about him reported that he survived the initial moment when the Titanic slipped beneath the ocean. Plunged into the water with many others, he was heard...
Claim God's Promise (11 of 34)
by Keith Krell
Have you ever been given an empty promise? This happened to me many years ago. When I was in my first year of seminary, Lori and I were barely making ends meet. One afternoon we received a postcard in the mail from a company called Uni-Mart. Uni-Mart promised that if we took a quick tour of their warehouse we would receive a 35 mm camera, a large screen TV, or an all-expense paid vacation to Maui. Our first thought was, ''If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is.'' So we threw the postcard away. We received a second postcard and threw it away as well. We then began receiving calls at home from Uni-Mart. The sheer...
Promises, Promises
by Richard Bradley
People make us promises all the time. Sometimes those people mean to keep their promises and sometimes they don't. Sometimes people (like politicians) promise us something just to get us off their backs. The question comes down to ''who do you trust?'' A promise is only as good as the person making the promise. What is his...
Sin and Promise (3)
by Zach Terry
INTRODUCTION: If you could go and visit any decade of your life which would it be? How many say the 80's? 90's? any 60's? That's the crowd you have to watch out for...Here's the point - in each of us there is a longing for a time long since gone. I don't mean the 80's I mean LONG since gone. 1. You sense it every time you go to a funeral. It's not supposed to be like this. 2.You sense it when you work and find your labor difficult and you know deep down, it's not supposed to be like this. 3.You sense it when you try to make marriage work and you find it terribly difficult at times.4.You sense it when you feel distant from God...
The Blessedness of God's Promise (8 of 44)
by Patrick Edwards
Introduction: As we read earlier this morning, the Lord says to His people in Isaiah 43, ''Fear not, for I have redeemed you; I have called you by name, you are mine. When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; and through the rivers, they shall not overwhelm you; when you walk through fire you shall not be burned, and the flame shall not consume you. For I am the Lord your God, the Holy One of Israel, your Savior...for I give water in the wilderness, rivers in the desert, to give drink to my chosen people, the people whom I formed for myself that they might declare my praise.'' What a promise of God to His people, to assure them of...
The Promise
by Steve Jones
Introduction: The minister of the wedding said to the bride: "Do you take this man, for better for worse, richer for poorer, in sickness in health?" She said "I'll take better, richer and health." I'm not sure she understood the promise. Christians are people of promise and it's important that we understand our promises. Today we want to explore the promise of salvation delivered by Peter on the day of Pentecost, recorded in Acts chapter two. I. THE NEED FOR THE PROMISE -- 2:37 Peter's audience recognized their need at the conclusion of his sermon. They had broken the law. They had unjustly condemned an innocent man who...
Promises Made, Promises Kept!
by Terry J. Hallock
I recently read an article in Reader's Digest about the growing anger of airline passengers. It seems that the larger the number of airline passengers grows, the more they are experiencing broken promises. The airlines promise reserved seats and then bump those who have them. They promise on-time arrivals and then arrive hours late. They promise to take care of luggage and then lose it. They promise courteous service, comfortable seats, and good food and then deliver surly service, cramped seating, and awful food. Promises made. Promises broken. In a world of too many broken promises, we have a God who keeps His! In...
Better Promises
by Tony Nester
(Hebrews 8:6-13 NRSV) "But Jesus has now obtained a more excellent ministry, and to that degree he is the mediator of a better covenant, which has been enacted through better promises. {7} For if that first covenant had been faultless, there would have been no need to look for a second one. {8} God finds fault with them when he says: "The days are surely coming, says the Lord, when I will establish a new covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah; {9} not like the covenant that I made with their ancestors, on the day when I took them by the hand to lead them out of the land of Egypt; for they did not continue in...
Power,Promises, Productivity
by Robert Walker
There was a tightrope walker, who did incredible aerial feats. All over Paris, he would do tightrope acts at tremendously scary heights. Then he had succeeding acts; he would do it blindfolded, then he would go across the tightrope, blindfolded, pushing a wheelbarrow. An American promoter read about this in the papers and wrote a letter to the tightrope walker, saying, "Tightrope, I don't believe you can do it, but I'm willing to make you an offer. For a very substantial sum of money, besides all your transportation fees, I would like to challenge you to do your act over Niagara Falls." Now, Tightrope wrote back, "Sir, although I've...
The Ladder of Promise
by George H. Morrison
Out of all the riches of these verses let us take what the Lord says about Himself. Let us select the words He uses of Himself. We may not disentangle in experience the acting of the Father and the Son, but often we may disengage in thought what we cannot disentangle in experience. So here we may reverently lay aside, in thought, what the Lord says about the Father and think only of what He says about Himself. When we do that, how beautiful it grows! We see a gradually ascending scale of promise. We see the Master adding thought to thought until He reaches at last a magnificence of climax. And all this in glorious response to...
End Time Promises
by Jules Boquet
DESCRIPTION OF SERMON: The message deals with the promises which God has given to us in His word. These promises which includes the promise of the spirit; the promise of your family; and the promise of God's revelation are for us to stand upon as we live in these end times.We are living in the end times. There are many broadcasts on television and radio that constantly focus on the fact that we're living in these end times. In Joel 2:28-32 it says, ''It shall come to pass afterward, that I the Lord will pour out my spirit upon all flesh; and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, your old men shall dream dreams, your young men...
Pillows, Pillars and Promises (20 of 31)
by Ernest Easley
We're thinking today about Pillows, Pillars, and Promises. Take your Bible and turn please to Genesis 28. Now it was last Sunday we learned about Jacob's Departure. Because Jacob had taken his brother's birthright by determination and then took his brother's blessing by deceit, his brother Esau declared: "I will kill my brother Jacob." And being a man of courage, Jacob ran for his life! And his first night away from the security of his mother we read in verse 11 of chapter 28, "So he came to a certain place and stayed there all night, because the sun had set. And he took one of the stones of that place and put it at his head, and he lay down...
