Restoring Relationships (18 of 21)
by Eddie Snipes
A brother offended is harder to win than a strong city, And contentions are like the bars of a castle. Conflict is a part of life. It's how we handle conflict that impacts our relationships. We offend others just as often as we are offended, but we only notice what affects our personal feelings. The scriptures instruct us not to be an offense to anyone, but as with most commands, we will fall short more times than we'd like to admit. When it comes to offenses, our responsibility is twofold. We are called to reconcile and we are called to forgive. Consider the words of Jesus in Matthew 5:23-24 23 Therefore if you bring your gift to the altar, and...
Restoration through Forgiveness (9 of 9)
by Stan Coffey
I want to preach today on the joy of forgiveness. I call it ''Restoration Through Forgiveness.'' The text is in Ephesians, chapter one as we continue the thought of restoration. God's in the restoration business. Jesus was born two thousand years ago because man needed to be restored to God. The most joyous message the world ever heard was on that Christmas. Ephesians 1:7- ''In whom we had redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of his grace.'' I read, not long ago, about a church that had a marquee sign out front. The preacher put on the marquee sign the words, ''If you're tired...
The Ministry of Restoration (13 of 15)
by Ernest Easley
For several weeks we have been learning from the book of Galatians about The Lord of Liberty! Paul says in 2.16, ''knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the law but by faith in Jesus Christ, even we have believed in Christ Jesus that we might be justified by faith in Christ and not by the works of the law; for by the works of the law no flesh shall be justified.'' ''Free from the law, O happy condition; Jesus has bled, and there is remission; Cursed by the law and bruised by the fall, Grace has redeemed us, Once for all.''And that is what this letter to the church at Galatia is all about: free from bondage and full of grace...
The Restoring Work of Suffering (2 of 5)
by Ken Trivette
I read about one poor fellow who wrote his insurance company concerning an accident that he was in. He wrote: ''I am writing in response to your request for additional information. In block #3 of the accident form, I put 'trying to do the job alone' as the cause of my accident. You said in your letter that I should explain more fully, and I trust that the following details will be sufficient. I am a bricklayer by trade. On the date of the accident I was working alone on the roof of a six story building. When I completed my work, I found that I had about 500 pounds of brick left over. Rather than carry the bricks down by hand, I decided to lower them...
Finding and Restoring Lost People (5 of 6)
by Frank Damazio
Jesus was the searcher, the finder and the restorer of people who had lost something - people who lose their sense of direction, destiny, significance, fulfillment, hope, opportunity and dreams. Jesus found these misplaced people and then He restored them. The apprentice is to find and restore people who have lost life and lost God. BACKGROUND TO THE MASTER AND RESTORATION DEFINITION AND KEY SCRIPTURES The apprentice is one who has committed to Jesus the Master and to a lifetime of learning from Him in order to become like the Master in heart, character, and lifestyle. Luke 19:10: For the Son of Man has...
Restoration Matters (8 of 19)
by Jerry Vines
We are looking at the life of David, a man after God's own heart. Your heart matters. It's very important. Jesus said, ''Keep your heart with all diligence, for out of it are the issues of life.'' We are looking at heart matters as they are given to us in the life of David. This particular study in chapter 29 and 30 I have entitled Restoration Matters. This is the passage of scripture where David returns to the Lord from a period of time when he was obviously out of the will of God. Actually chapter 29 picks up the narrative that was begun back in chapter 28. Look at the first two verses there and you will find that they are similar and it will connect...
Restoration (2 of 4)
by Jeff Strite
Bobby Bowden, (former football coach of Florida State University) said that when he was in college, he played college baseball. During one game he managed to hit a ball right down the right-field line, into the corner. He rounded 1st and looked to the 3rd base coach.He turned at 2nd, was halfway to 3rd - and coach was still waving him on to home... and when he reached home, he stepped triumphantly on the plate. He had scored his first home run as a college player, and he was excited. Everybody on his team was giving him high-fives and slapping him on the back. (PAUSE) But then the pitcher took the ball, threw to the first baseman...
Assurance of Restoration (3 of 3)
by Stephen Whitney
As a young boy in the 1930's, Bob Hoover fell in love with flying. He would ride his bike 15 miles from his home in Nashville, TN to Berry field just to be around airplanes. By the time he was 16 he flew his first solo flight. During World War II, he was sent to Casablanca where his first major assignment was as test pilot for aircraft which were ready for service in combat. Later, as a fighter pilot he was shot down and spent 16 months in a German prison. After the war he was a test pilot who backed up Chuck Yeager in the Bell X-1, which was the first plane to break the sound barrier. Then he became a famous test pilot flying supersonic...
Rebuilding Broken Bridges (2 of 5)
by Kerry Shook
RESTORATION STEP 1: I humbly admit my powerlessness to change myself and control everything. In my brokenness I humbly admit my need for God and others. ''Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted.''Matthew 5:3-4 (NIV) RESTORATION STEP 2: I admit my pain over my brokenness and loss. I look to God, believing He can comfort and restore me. 1.STOP RUNNING FROM MY PAIN AND TURN TO GOD My failures turn me to the Father ''When he came to his senses he got up and went to his father.'' -Luke 15:17, 20 (NIV) My hurts to me...
How to Restore Relationships
by David Cook
How many of you have ever been to a mountain? Many of you like to travel around the world...you've probably seen many mountains that literally take your breath away. Close to our Lawrenceville, we have Stone Mountain...Every time I pass by Stone Mountain going down 78...I stop and think...how in the world did that mountain get there...I enjoy Stone Mountain! When I was a sophomore in High School...our family took a trip to Beaver Creek in Colorado...this was only the second time I had been on a snow skiing trip...early one morning...dad and I thought we would go to the top of the mountain and ski down a black slope...we learned...
Helping the Hurting (14 of 16)
by Jim Perdue
We're studying the book of Galatians in a series I've entitled, Justified. The message of this letter from Paul is simple. We are not made right with God through our works, abilities, or righteousness. We are made right with God through Christ's atoning work on the cross. We have just learned what it means to ''live by the Spirit'' and not fulfill the ''works of the flesh.'' And now, he shows us what that looks like in real life - what it looks like through real people filled with the Spirit. What do spirit-filled people do? They are focused on Helping the Hurting. READ TEXT - PRAY *Driving through Texas, a New Yorker collided with a truck carrying...
Real Christianity (14 of 16)
by Jeff Schreve
All of us have probably been to a church at some time where you think, Is God in this place? You know, I remember my mother-in-law told me (my father-in-law was a pastor and they served at a church) she said, ''Boy, that church was just like ice.'' She said, ''You could just skate down the aisles. It was just so cold and so dead.'' My father-in-law didn't stay there very long because he said, ''I just can't work in this environment where it's just stiff and ornate and austere and there's no life.'' Now there are lots of churches that claim to be Christian, but they don't preach Christianity and they're nothing about Christianity, yet they go under the banner...
Starting Over: A Message of Hope for Broken People (13 of 13)
by Rick White
Gal. 6:1 Brethren, even if a man is caught in any trespass, you who are spiritual, restore such a one in a spirit of gentleness; {each one} looking to yourself, lest you too be tempted. 2 Bear one another's burdens, and thus fulfill the law of Christ. 3 For if anyone thinks he is something when he is nothing, he deceives himself. 4 But let each one examine his own work, and then he will have {reason for} boasting in regard to himself alone, and not in regard to another. 5 For each one shall bear his own load. Introduction: In graduation ceremonies this past spring at Southwestern Seminary, 425 graduates heard a Christian...
Questins About Burdens
by John McKain
A son has just put his father in a nursing home. He wonders if it was the best thing to do. A daughter has recently taken her mother into her home. She wonders now if she will have enough time for her mother and her own family. These words were echoing in the woman's head as she left the doctor's office: "I'm sorry but its cancer." A college student is lying in a hospital room. The previous night he had been thrown from an automobile, and his spine had been severed. He is paralyzed from the neck down. A family has a fourteen-year-old daughter, but her mind has never developed. She has remained an infant all these years...

I Have Fallen and I Can't Get Up
by James Merritt
1. Everyone knows that the basic job description of the church was given by the Lord Jesus Christ in The Great Commission. ''Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all things that I have commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age.'' (Mt. 28:19-20) 2. First of all, we are to make disciples by winning people to Jesus. Then we are to mark disciples by baptizing them into the church. Then we are to mature disciples by teaching them the Word of God. Now you can summarize all of that by the word...
Thy Kingdom Come (6 of 6)
by Jim Perdue
This morning, I conclude our study through the Old Testament prophecy of Amos. I have called this series Let Justice Roll. Amos says in Amos 5:24, ''Let justice roll down like waters, and righteousness like an ever-flowing stream.'' (ON SCREEN) This morning, we're looking at Amos 9 in a sermon entitled, Thy Kingdom Come. READ 9:1-4, 11-15 - PRAY The phrase, ''Thy Kingdom Come'' should be familiar to almost all of you. It's a request taken directly from the Model Prayer that Christ gave to His disciples. ''Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done on earth as it is in Heaven...'' (ON SCREEN) When you say, ''Thy Kingdom come'..
Israel Inherits Promises of Old (3 of 3)
by Eddie Snipes
For every curse against the sin of Israel, God follows it with a promise if they repent. It is frequently claimed that once Israel rejected Jesus as their Messiah that God cut Israel out of His plan. From this point on, those who believe this also try to allegorize any reference to Israel in the New Testament claiming it is a symbolic reference to the church. It is then said that the church is the new Israel. This belief was very popular up until the time Israel was 'reborn' as a nation. Before this event, it appeared impossible for prophecy concerning Israel to be literally fulfilled, therefore alternative explanations were sought. Though this belief is not as...
