Shaped By Experience (7 of 7)
by Stan Coffey
We have come to the final message in a series called "Improving Your Image – A Whole You For A Holy God." We hear a great deal about image today and you will see the word IMAGE in the acrostic and we have allowed each letter to be a message, a part of the whole theme we have chosen improving your image. Because we believe that God's people are given an image by the Lord that we are made in the image of God. And that we are recreated in the image of Christ. So our self-image is connected with our God image. And we are to see ourselves as Jesus sees us, as Jesus made us to be. And so in that...
God's Promise for Life's Storms (8 of 18)
by Ernest Easley
As we continue our series of messages under the heading: The If's, Ands and Buts of the Bible … take your Bible and turn with me to Romans 8. It's here we find one of the great promises of God and of course when we talk about the "If's" of the Bible .. we're talking about those iffy promises of God. Learn this about the promises of God: while most of them are conditional, all of them are trustworthy! Our God is the original promise keeper! He's not only a promise maker .. He is a promise keeper. We read in 2 Corinthians 1.20, "For all the promises of God in Him are Yes, and in Him Amen, to the glory of God through...
The Process and the Puzzle (4 of 8)
by David Cawston
So much of the confusion in our life goes back to the lack of understanding of God and how He does His work in our lives. Much of our struggle rests in our will, not His! I believe that God's will for our life is not so much about taking us from point A to point B as it is about the journey itself! We focus on the Goal but God focuses on the journey! Our human tendency is to focus on our calling, on where we should go, how we should get there, and exactly what we should do about it! God's concern is the process that He is taking us through to mature us and ready us to be more like His Son. Think of the men and women of...
Synergy: Releasing the Power of Your Relatonships
by Randal Ross
This morning we want to talk about one of the most important areas of our life as men of God and also the hardest and that is relationships. A. Everything we have studies since September in men's discipleship brings us to this place of tapping the power of our relationships upon the releasing of God's power through the principle of synergy. 1. Proactive: taking charge of our life 2. Begin with the end in mind: personal leadership. Direction 3. First things first: the principle of priorities 4. Win/Win: The attitude that makes everyone a winner 5. Keeping Sharp: the importance of self renewal B. But all of those...
Pray for the Power of the Holy Spirit
by Robert Walker
George Mueller began all kinds of orphanages in Bristol, England. He supported the work of thee orphanages and countless orphanages without every asking for a donation from anyone. He would pray for God's provision, and God used him for years to support works that required in contemporary terms, million and millions of dollars and he would see it come in every year. In our society, we seem to have an intense interest in power. There are power engines, power tools, power nozzles, power locks, power boats, power lunches, power plays, power walks power steering and power brakes. There is horse power...
No Matter What Happens
by James Merritt
Go back to that fateful day - 9/11/01. Just imagine if the government had known about the impending attack and had intervened with all of its power. Can you imagine how enraged passengers and airlines would have been at the increased security and the airport delays? Racial profiling of middle- eastern men would have caused unprecedented outrage against the Bush Administration. Heightened security alerts would have been perceived as fanaticism and overreaction and the backlash of criticism would have been unbelievably enormous. Yet, with 20/20 vision every American would gladly have embraced these...
How God Redeems Our Suffering (4 of 4)
by Steve Jones
What do I mean by the word ''redeem'' in the title of this message? Redeem can be take in one of two ways. First, ''to buy back'' as when you redeem a coupon at the store the store is buying it back from you. Or you redeem something at the pawn shop - you're buying it back. The second definition is make something worthwhile. In this lesson that's how I'm using the word. To offset a bad effect with something good. Remember the movie ''Rocky'' starring Sylvester Stallone (I'm talking about the first one)? Think how confusing it could be if you tuned into to the conclusion of that movie, having never seen it before. You would...
A Bad Hair Day (7 of 10)
by Rex Yancey
A man is walking on a mountain road when he came upon an Indian lying in the middle of the road with his ear to the ground. The Indian was muttering in broken English, ''Truck, Chevy truck, Chevy pick-up truck-large tires, man driving, German shepherd in front seat, loaded with firewood, California license plates, UBA123.'' The man was astounded and said to the Indian, ''You can tell all of that by just listening to the ground?'' The Indian said, ''No, truck ran over me thirty minutes ago!'' Life is a lot like that. We do not always see what is coming, and when it does it sometimes runs right over us. No matter how...
The Anchor (6 of 18)
by Roger Thomas
If the Christian life was a ship at sea this verse is the anchor. When the waves and wind toss the ship back and forth, the anchor keeps the vessel from drifting out of control. When the anchor holds the ship is safe. If the Christian life was an ocean voyage this verse is the North Star. When every direction seems the same and confusion seems to take the ship into dangerous waters, a brief glimpse of the North Star makes everything right again. Fog and clouds may make it disappear for a time, but eventually the mist evaporates and there it is. With the North Star in sight again, the journey can proceed. All is well. If the...
From Paint to Purpose (2 of 2)
by Kerry Shook
I have up here a huge wedge of Parmigiano-Reggiano, and this is the real stuff. It's good stinky cheese right here. Now some call it the king of cheese. You probably know it as that cheese that's grated over our spaghetti; but for it be legitimate Parmigiano-Reggiano, it has to be produced in this small certain area of Italy around Parma Medina. If it's not produced around there, then it's not the legitimate Parmigiano-Reggiano, and it has to have this imprint on it for it to be the real thing. This is the real thing, some of the best cheese in the world. Now they produce this cheese by putting it in large wheels and then they...
It's All Good (13)
by Tony Thomas
Josephine Knight and Earle Dickson were married in 1917. Earle went to work as a cotton buyer for the Johnson and Johnson Company. Josephine set up the house, birthed the children, and ran their home with the efficiency of a small business. But Josephine Dickson was accident-prone. Homemaker's in the previous century were confronted with tasks that we seldom think about. Bread was baked and sliced; meat was tenderized and sliced; fruits, vegetables, and potatoes were peeled and sliced, and all of that slicing led to frequent cuts. Food wasn't cooked with a microwave -- or even an oven. Josephine fed her...
Glorification (13 of 13)
by Stan Coffey
If you have your Bible tonight, I want us to immediately turn to Romans Chapter 8. Last week we talked about the doctrine of sanctification and before that we talked about the doctrine of justification. So we have these three doctrines that are a trinity of doctrines as it refers to the believer. The doctrine of justification means that I have been saved from the penalty of sin. God has declared me not only to be forgiven but He has declared me to be blameless and has declared me to be righteous as though I had never sinned. And then we talked last week about the doctrine of sanctification and sanctification comes...
His Sovereignty...Our Security (25 of 42)
by Rick Ferguson
I am about to read Romans 8:28-30. We all will recognize Romans 8:28. It is one of the most beloved, hope-filled, life-giving verses in all the Bible. It is probably in the top 5 category of ''Most often quoted'' Bible verses. You are going to love Romans 8:28... But then we have to go immediately to verses 29 and 30 (which is something of the ''Theological Processing Plant'' for verse 28.) And I can warn you right now, a lot of you are going to love v.28 but you are going to be repulsed by what you see in verses 29 and 30. I would hope that today you would be able to come to a full understanding of the fact that ''OUR SECURITY'' as...
How to Get the Best out of the Worst or Victory through Circumstances
by Ron Dunn
The Key: I want to change ONE word in the statement, and it changes everything. It is not "Victory OVER Circumstances." Most of us look upon contrary circumstances as intruders into our lives, obstacles in the path blocking our progress and we must somehow conquer them, remove them, get them out of the way. It is Victory THROUGH Our Circumstances. They are the MEANS God uses to bring us to the place of victory. Isaiah 49:11 "1 will turn all my mountains into roads..." the obstacles become the means...they contribute to our deliverance. The Mountains ARE the path. We couldn't get there...
God's Guarantee Of Glory
by James Merritt
1. I heard about a man that was walking along a mountain road one time, and he saw an Indian lying in the middle of the road with his ear pressed to the ground. Well as he got near to the Indian he heard this Indian talking in broken English. "Truck. Chevy truck. Chevy pick-up truck. Large tires. Man driving. Large German Shepherd in front seat. Loaded with firewood. California license plate UBH 123." 2. Well this man was incredulous. He looked at that Indian and said, "That is amazing. You mean you can tell all of that just by listening to the ground?" 3. The Indian said, "No, truck ran over me thirty minutes ago." 4. We are...
Experiencing God in Suffering
by Joe Alain
Life Application: God wants to grow us in our experiences of suffering. God uses a variety of spiritual disciplines and experiences to grow us spiritually. One way that we grow spiritually and become conformed into the likeness of Christ is as we read, study, and apply God's Word. Another very powerful way that we mature in Christ is through our experiences of suffering. God wants us to grow us in our experiences of suffering. Two verses are very important as they relate to our spiritual growth. The first is Romans 8:29 which forms part of our text today. In that verse we are told that we have been ''predestined to be conformed to...
Thinking Differently
by David Cawston
As I have been saying since we started this series, God usually works His will in unexpected ways. Those ways are full of twists and turns. Zig Zags. While none of us can guess the futures, God is up to something great. And if we can ever figure it all out it will be terrific. We think His will is much like our will, except His is smarter and has a longer view. We read out human life style into God's character, so that when He throws us a curve we view Him as unfair or untrustworthy. For example if I were God- I would have never allows Dietrich Bonhoeffer to die at age thirty nine in a concentration camp. I would have allowed him to...
God Works All Things Together For Good
by Adrian Rogers
Romans has been called the constitution of Christianity. And every chapter in that wonderful book of Romans is a power-packed chapter. But there's no chapter in that book like the 8th chapter of Romans. I want you to turn to Romans chapter 8 and look with me tonight "at a familiar verse, but one that our hearts can rejoice in. Romans 8 verse 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. Ladies and gentlemen, that one verse will help you to go to sleep at night when nothing else will. And we know that all things work together for good to them...
God Is For Us (26 of 49)
by Jerry Watts
Don Moen is a name which is well known among modern day musicians. He has written some of the most beloved and sung songs of our time. As a writer/producer/publisher, he and the team at Integrity Music developed and released Worship projects for choirs. One of those was entitled, ''God for Us''. Did you realize that in His sovereignty God is actually ''FOR'' us? God is actually for everyone of His crown creation (that would be you and me), even those who don't know Him, don't want to know Him, and don't care about Him. For those God's desire is found in 2 Peter 3:9. It is God's desire that all men come to Christ and be saved. He is...
