From Reader's Digest: "On his birthday, my husband was stuck driving our six rambunctious children around. As usual, they were yelling, punching, and annoying one another. ...read more

    This is a description of the fall and redemption; of God’s answer to win back our trust after we’ve learned to despise Him.

    I was up in my bedroom one evening with the new knife that my parents had entrusted with, and I was cutting a cardboard box. All of a sudden the knife slipped, and I stabbed myself in the leg. Oh no! I’m cut I thought to myself, and our family was just getting ready to leave the house for a ...read more

    Do You Let God Love You? Then You’ll Love His Chastenings

    Contributed by David Leach on May 28, 2014
     | 3,036 views

    It is very easy to grieve the Spirit of God; we do it by despising the chastening of the Lord, or by becoming discouraged when He rebukes us.

    Do you let God love you? Then you’ll love His chastenings Heb 12:5-10 And have you quite forgotten the encouraging words God spoke to you, His child? "My son, do not despise the chastening of the LORD, nor be discouraged when you are rebuked by Him; For whom the LORD loves He ...read more

    He was despised and rejected of men. Even so, we should accept Him, even if this means that we are rejected by our own.

    Rejected! Mark 6:1-7 The prophet Isaiah in the 53rd chapter talks about Jesus hundreds of years before He came. He says that the Messiah would be despised and rejected of men and familiar with sorrow and grief. John records in the first chapter of his gospel that “He came unto His own things, and ...read more

    INTRODUCTION How many of you were raised on a farm? Raise your hand. How many of you have parents or grandparents that were raised on a farm? Since we’re becoming an urban and suburban culture, many of us have lost the appreciation for agriculture. But when Jesus was teaching people 2,000 years ...read more

    When sinners are thus converted, they will love and honor those whom they before despised and hated and will seek to lessen the suffering they before desired to increase.

    Opening illustration: While worshiping with our mentors in Tharmaid during a meeting at an underground church, we encounter a woman who was possessed with evil spirit. What transpired during the worship time was a powerful move of God’s deliverance for that woman. Introduction: Some strange things ...read more

     | 5,264 views

    Real thanksgiving is done with the right attitude. The prayer of the Pharisee was arrogant and despising toward the Publican, therefore it did not count. This sermon was developed for a community Thanksgiving service.

    The Thanksgiving that Doesn’t Count STEVE MILLER, November 23, 2004 Luke 18:9-14 (NKJV) Do you remember the television commercial for Citibank with the two ladies in the grocery store?
