For success, attitude is equally as important as ability.

William Feather

Winston Churchill

Success is the maximum utilization of the ability that you have.

Zig Ziglar

Waiting for God is not laziness. Waiting for God is not going to sleep. Waiting for God is not the abandonment of effort. Waiting for God means, first, activity under command; second, readiness for any new command that may come; third, the ability to do nothing until the command is given.

G. Campbell Morgan

Consider the postage stamp: its usefulness consists in the ability to stick to one thing till it gets there.

Josh Billings

3111. How Do We Forgive?

Matthew 18:21-35

Sermon

King Duncan

... spouse—an overbearing parent—a friend who has stabbed you in the back—an employer who has taken advantage of you? I know there is pain, but the most powerful witness we have to the action of the grace of God at work in our own lives is the ability to forgive others. As we forgive, we heal not only the wounds of a broken relationship, we find healing for wounds inflicted in our own hearts by anger, hurt and resentment. God has forgiven each of us for every soiled thought, act, and deed of which we are ...

3112. Cross Choices

Matthew 10:1-42

Sermon

R. Kevin Mohr

... isn’t easy — it wasn’t for Jesus, as his anguish in the Garden of Gethsemane proves — but the choice of the cross was and is the right choice, the best choice. That it happens at all has nothing to do with our strength of character or innate abilities. That any of us manages to follow Jesus faithfully for even one minute, let alone for a lifetime, is truly a miracle of God’s grace! God’s grace works its miracle on us, in us, and through us when, through prayer and praise and Bible study together ...

3114. A Good Leader

Illustration

George Barna

Leadership is the ability to put the plans into practice, and to accomplish the specified objectives through the skillful management of people, time, and tangible resources. A good leader is one who is able to motivate people; one who is capable of making good decisions, even under pressure or in conditions of uncertainty; one who can guide people through actions as well as words.

3115. Well of Wisdom, Water of Life

Genesis 21:8-21

Sermon

Lori Wagner

... For a Christian, that knowledge and wisdom isn’t just how to mount a tire or patch drywall, not just how to master stock prices or learn the plays of each football team, but it’s a deep kind of wisdom that comes from faith in God and God’s ability to save us in times of trouble. How many of you can think of some pearls of wisdom you remember from your own father? Or perhaps a father figure in your life? It’s no mistake that Jesus calls God “Abba,” Father. God for Him is not just distant creator ...

3116. The Complex Human

Matthew 13:24-30, 36-43

Sermon

Lori Wagner

... can exist and grow together at the root of our personality but sometimes the two can be unrecognizable. Sometimes its hard to see which one is which, especially in a complex world and in complicated situations. That’s why only God, according to Jesus, has the ability to judge a good plant from a weed in the final harvest. Jesus calls us, instills in us his righteousness and rest, when we agree to follow him. And yet sin’s roots still lie deep within our hearts and can easily lead us astray, especially ...

3117. Jesus’ Recipe for a Kingdom Style Feast

Matthew 13:31-33, 44-52

Sermon

Lori Wagner

Every musician or literary master knows that the secret of an award-winning composition is in its ability to resonate. Once you write a piece, you must then let it go, so that others can discover it, bond with it, make it their own. Cooking works in much the same way. A good recipe is adaptable by the beholder. The idea and primary ingredients remain much the same. ...

William L. Self

... they would dress him up in his costume and he would rehearse his part for them, "Behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy." They were certain that when he grew up, he would be another Charlton Heston playing Moses because of his dramatic ability. The great night came for the Christmas pageant and everybody was in place. All the grandparents and extended family were there. Visitors had come in and all the children were in costumes, complete with bathrobes for the three kings and fake wings and halos for ...

3119. Dancing in the Wind

Matthew 14:22-36

Sermon

Lori Wagner

... lives before him. And we can begin to dance the Dance of Life. We can begin to find joy within sorrow, glitter in the dust, and play in the headwinds. William Butler Yeats wrote a poem at the turn of the prior century about the innocence of childhood and the ability for a child to dance unheeded in the wind lost to the cares of the world. To A Child Dancing in The Wind Dance there upon the shore; What need have you to care For wind or water's roar? And tumble out your hair That the salt drops have ...

3120. What's In a Name?

Matthew 16:13-20

Sermon

Lori Wagner

... allows us to perceive ourselves conceptually and emotionally according to the names we place upon our person. We all know therefore that if we want to lift someone up, we tell them, they are durable, strong, and resilient. Bullies on the other hand have the ability to wreak havoc on the human spirit simply by employing words, such as baby, idiot, coward, retard, or whore. In fact, we shudder when we hear some of those words slung at others, even if we weren’t bullied ourselves. The words themselves carry ...

3121. Wavering Notes by an Uncertain Trumpet

2 Peter 3:1-18

Sermon

Ron Love

... , a life that fulfills God’s heavenly desires. Peter addressed these false teachers by writing that we must be “patient.” Just because God had not intervened in human history as we expected God to do; we needed to be patient, we needed the ability to patiently wait for God to thunder forth as promised. John Ruskin once said, “Endurance is nobler than strength, and patience than beauty.” Ruskin was born in London in 1819. As an adult, he continued in the family business as wine merchant, which ...

3122. In diem natalem

Titus 2:1-15

Sermon

Ron Love

... selection of December 25 also cleared up another dispute in the church; now all congregations would celebrate the birth of Jesus on the same day. John Chrysostom was an early church father and was the Archbishop of Constantinople. He was known for his ability to preach and for his skill at public speaking. Chrysostom delivered his well-known Christmas sermon In diem natalem. The title of this sermon in Latin means the following: In diem means “in the day of,” and natalem means “birth.” So, the title ...

3123. Seeking Joy

Philippians 4:2-9

Sermon

King Duncan

... society rather than an inner-directed society. When you walk with God and trust in God, your thoughts will reflect the character of God. It doesn’t mean that your life will magically change. Your circumstances, your outside world, may remain the same. But your ability to see God in your circumstances will change your inside world. And that’s where joy comes from. Ken Lindner is CEO of Ken Lindner & Associates and the author of the book, Crunch Time: 8 Steps to Making the Right Life Decisions at the ...

Matthew 25:14-30

Sermon

King Duncan

... Your God will be with you wherever you go.” (4) Think how often the scriptures say, “Don’t be afraid” or, in this case, “Do not be terrified . . .” Fear not only makes us miserable, but it robs us in so many ways including, possibly, the ability for healing to take place in our bodies. Remember the example of the three servants. Two of the servants invested their master’s property which yielded a tidy profit. The other man lost out because of his fear. This story from Matthew’s Gospel tells ...
