1351. Prayer - What’s in It for You?

Luke 18:9-14

Sermon

John Wayne Clarke

... that they felt they would become infected by the presence of others. Most people, if they take the time to think about it, will discover that those people that are righteous (in themselves) do not live by the Word of God, nor do they feel that they need it. These people have not submitted themselves to the righteousness of God, but have rewritten God's laws of righteousness to fit their own lifestyles. Our world today glorifies those that proudly justify themselves. We watch television shows that are geared ...

1352. A Breadbasket Full of Goodies

John 6:25-35

Sermon

John Wayne Clarke

... knowledge inside yourself in order to gain anything from it. Same thing with Jesus. You need to take him into your life in order to show the benefits outside of your life. Friends, we have been blessed by God in ways too many to number, and yet we often feel just like the people in our text for today. We, too, want Jesus to give us one more thing. We want one more demonstration of his power. It is almost as if they, and now us, are viewing Jesus' ministry as a biblical magic show. They wanted yet another ...

Sermon

Richard Gribble

Revelation 22:12-14, 16-17, 20-21

Sermon

Richard Gribble

... that God will take care of things and reward those who are faithful, a little story can be helpful. Once upon a time, there was a boy who was dreadfully afraid of dying. Some folks are, you know. They have never experienced it and thus do not know how it feels. Thus, they are afraid. This boy was this way. Since he was not very rugged and his health was rather frail, he thought about dying even more. One day as the boy was sitting under a tree crying, he heard a little wisp of a voice, not squeaky, but soft ...

1 Timothy 6:3-10

Sermon

Clayton A. Lord

... with joy. I asked him about it and he said that the list reminds him of his blessings and he can't help but feel good about life when he remembers them at the start of the day. Contrast this with another colleague who was always sharing all the " ... cares. He has made us, and he has made our world. He has blessed us beyond our wildest dreams, and out of the gratitude we feel toward God for all his faithful goodness, we want to share the blessings. That brings me to my third point. Paul suggests to Timothy ...

2 Timothy 1:1-14

Sermon

Clayton A. Lord

... good life was all about and it left them disillusioned and despairing. What they had already tasted in life had left them feeling hopeless, empty, and abandoned. Which brings us back to Paul. At the end of his career, he writes to remind Timothy that the ... sees us in our sinful state and decides to offer us a complete pardon. So many people try to earn God's favor and end up feeling frustrated. The good news is that God has abundant grace for all who are open to receive it. A second promise is that God wants ...

1357. What Are You Looking At?

Acts 1:1-11

Sermon

Frank Ramirez

... to attempt to stand by his side? But it's not allowed, not in this life anyway. We get glimpses, the Spirit sends us greetings, we feel the presence of God very strongly at times - and certainly God is always present wherever we go - but we're also sent out to work ... to wash a brother's or sister's feet. When Jesus returns in glory, our eyes may be turned to the ground, but we'll feel the light of the ages at our back, and with slow but solid satisfaction we will turn to face he who we have always trusted ...

1358. Small Towns

Luke 2:1-14

Sermon

King Duncan

... You can’t walk for exercise because every car that passes you offers you a ride. You can name everyone you graduated with. You have to drive an hour to buy a pair of socks. You get a whiff of manure and think of home. Someone asks you how you feel . . . and actually listens to what you say. There is no town idiot everybody has to take turns. Small towns are just a little bit different. Janelle White’s family moved to a small town. She decided to check in with the police and fire departments in case her ...

John 15:1-17

Sermon

Maxie Dunnam

... to wait in the presence of the sacrificial Lord in order that we might remember his love for us and in order that we might stay aware of the price he paid for our salvation. I pray you say, but nothing seems to happen. I don’t feel anything. I’m not realizing Christ’s presence. I understand that, it’s common. And that’s the reason I talk about making real Christ’s presence, because the presence of Christ in our life is not natural really. It’s not something that happens automatically, it ...

1360. Like a Venomous Snake

1 Corinthians 10:1-13

Sermon

King Duncan

... the mountain with the snake still in his grip. When he got back to camp, his buddies had to pry his fingers off the snake. After telling this story Swindoll looked around at this group of pastors and said, “There are some of you fellows right here who are feeling the hot venom on your neck right now. You have played with sin, and it is about to take you down.” (1) That’s powerful storytelling. You might think a group of pastors would not need to be reminded of the power of sin. You would be wrong. To ...

1361. LOST? Finding Forgiveness

Luke 15:11-32

Sermon

Billy D. Strayhorn

... Journey of Life. We took our inheritance and squandered it on an apple tree and forgot that meaning is found in loving God and loving our neighbors. In our disobedience we lost our innocence and we lost the security of our home in the garden. We no longer feel the complete embrace of God who created us to lavish His love upon. We are, in a very real sense, lost and trying to find our way back home. I. Lost A. Every journey has to have a destination. And with a destination, you have to know which direction ...

1362. Compliments Of The House

Psalm 23:6

Sermon

Billy D. Strayhorn

... half gallon of Neapolitan ice cream. Danny loved strawberry, Bruce loved vanilla and I loved chocolate. It was perfect. We'd grab spoons and snarf that down and then hide the empty container. I don't know when it started probably when we were about 10. And we'd all feel guilty about it but excited that we'd gotten away with it for another year. It wasn't until we were 15 or 16 that we figured out that Aunt Viola knew what we were doing all along. Not only that, but after that first year, she made sure there ...

1363. Cross Eyed: Rebuke

Mark 8:31-38

Sermon

Billy D. Strayhorn

... nor to experience New Life through Christ. In this passage we hear a pretty scathing rebuke from Jesus to Peter. Jesus had just changed Peter's name for Simon to Peter. The Rock. The Rock upon whom Jesus would build the church. Peter had to be feeling like a champ and on top of the world. The future had to be bright and sunny. And then Jesus starts talking about going to Jerusalem and being crucified. The bright and sunny world suddenly crumbled before Peter's eyes. Peter took Jesus aside, questioned Jesus ...

1364. Motivated for Life

Jeremiah 1:1-19

Sermon

King Duncan

... as “the broken-hearted prophet” because the people of Israel rejected his prophecies and ridiculed him. He was taunted, put in jail, and at one point thrown in a pit to die. Sometimes Jeremiah became quite bitter. He expresses the anger and frustration he feels in his writings. Some believe Jeremiah was murdered in Egypt by those angered by his prophecies. Still, up until the time of his death, he persisted in doing what God wanted him do. Here’s what’s interesting. Jeremiah’s prophecies proved to ...

1365. Resurrected Obedience (Series: Living on the Resurrection Side of Life)

John 14:15-31

Sermon

J. Howard Olds

... . To love means to orient one’s whole being toward others. Love is an action in which our whole being participates in our doing. The struggle of human existence is to let God be God. Denzel Washington says, “I walked into the house one day and feeling full of myself, a movie star, said, ‘Mother, did you ever think this was all going to happen?’ She responded, ‘Oh please, go wash the windows for me. You have no idea how many people have been praying for you when you were a knucklehead.’” C ...

1366. Come and See

John 1:43-51

Sermon

Billy D. Strayhorn

... "Come and See." How about you? When was the last time you invited someone to "Come and See?" I'm really not trying to make you feel guilty. But I am trying to get us all to be about the work we've all been called and commissioned to do by Christ.

Matthew 10:24-39

Sermon

Billy D. Strayhorn

... not let us be lost. A love that searches for us, seeks us out and cares for the most intimate details of our lives. You and I are loved by a God of redemption. B. In Southern Africa, The Bebemba tribe has a fascinating ritual for combating feelings of rejection. Each person in the tribe who acts irresponsibly or unjustly is taken alone to the center of the village. Everyone in the village stops work and gathers in a large circle around the accused.

Psalm 118:1-29

Sermon

King Duncan

... depressed.] Posture produces performance. So, this is my suggestion. Each morning look in a mirror, smile, throw you shoulders back and cite this ancient promise of Scripture, “This is the day that the Lord has made, I will rejoice and be glad in it!” You’ll feel better if you do this. If you’re a little self-conscious, you might doing try it when you are alone. “This is the day that the Lord has made; let us rejoice and be glad in it!” That one verse has gladdened countless hearts through the ...

Ephesians 1:1-14

Sermon

Maxie Dunnam

... making a decision of vocation, of call. I want you to know that that is the reason I’m here. In the core of my being I feel called, and that will determine the content and style of my ministry with you. Now I am not naïve and I know we can mistake God ... life. Chosen! II But there’s something more here, we are chosen by God.

Revelation 1:1-3

Sermon

Maxie Dunnam

... new meaning for a person who is estranged from her entire community and comes to a well in the middle of the day and meets a young Jew there who tells her about the refreshing waters of eternal life. It feels like healing power, flooding into the body of a paralytic who rises and walks. It feels like the healing power flowing into the mind of a man possessed by evil forces that drive him to dwell among the tombs, but is put at ease as his disease is eradicated by the healing grace of Christ’s presence ...

1371. Our Common Life in Christ

Philippians 2:1-11

Sermon

Maxie Dunnam

... middle of the night (and I did), knowing that what ever help I needed they would give. And they were just as free to call on me for help and support (and they did). Once, while praying for one another, one person thanked God for the “coming-home feeling,” we had whenever we were together. That phrase became for me a symbol of the freedom we felt to express our affection for one another, our weak nesses, our fears, our strengths. These people made God’s love for me visible and tang Home is not a place ...

1372. Living While You Wait

Philippians 4:2-9

Sermon

Maxie Dunnam

... take responsibility for their own healing, and for the healing of other children. As a result of this philosophy, a community of love and concern which brings healing has developed. A newspaper article about the hospital quoted one of the responsible persons there as saying, “We feel that much healing takes place by asking the simple question, do I want to have peace of mind, the peace of God, or do I want to experience conflict? If we want to experience peace of mind, we will choose to extend our love to ...

Exodus 3:1-22

Sermon

Maxie Dunnam

... held — in alcohol? or drugs? or gambling? Is your energy drained because you live too close to the line of moral compromise - cheating in business? preoccupied with sexual lust? In your heart of hearts do you know that you are more than racially prejudiced; your feelings verge on hatred? Does your pride often put you in the position of thinking more highly of yours you ought to think, looking down your nose at others? We could go on and on. But you can do that personally — the point I am underscoring ...

1375. The Reluctant Prophet

Exodus 3:1-22

Sermon

Maxie Dunnam

... Lord did not appear to you.” Now we get to a point that really touches home. What Moses is actually saying is, “Lord, is there any thing in my life that will verify what I am saying? They won’t believe that you have spoken to me. We know the feeling don’t we? We are always burdened with the awful fact that our lives do not measure up to our confessions. Then there came a fourth excuse, Exodus 4:10: “O, my Lord, I am not eloquent either heretofore or since thou hast spoken to thy servant; but I am ...
