    In your life and studies of the scriptures, do you hear God? I mean, do you really hear God speaking to you or is the idea of hearing God an illusion?

    In your life and studies of the scriptures, do you hear God? I mean, do you really hear God speaking to you or is the idea of hearing God an illusion? Often we forget, God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth. John 4:24. Therefore, to hear God, which Jesus ...read more

    AIR PUDDING NEVER FILLS YOU UP. YOU CAN EAT AS MUCH AS YOU WANT – BUT YOU’LL NEVER BE SATISFIED. WHY? BECAUSE AIR PUDDING IS JUST AN ILLUSION.

    Isaiah 29:8, “It shall even be as when a hungry man dreams, and, behold, he eats; but he awakens, and his soul is empty: or as when a thirsty man dreams, and, behold, he drinks; but he awakens, and, behold, he is faint, and his soul hath appetite: so shall the multitude of all the nations be, ...read more

    based on 4 ratings
     | 3,053 views

    Peace is an illusive element in human life, but one we all crave. The Psalmist reminds us that peace is a gift from God and comes from placing our faith in God.

    Psalm 46:1-11 “Peace” INTRODUCTION Peace is a condition that is universally craved by humankind, yet it is also a condition that is very illusive. Few people and few nations experience true peace. During the history of humankind, it has been estimated that there have been only fourteen years ...read more

    Wealth leads us to illusions wherein we lose sight of God; poverty leads us to spiritual disease. Pray for enough to satisfy real needs and to be able to give for others.

    You don’t have to raise your hands on this one. But I do wonder how many of you spent some time this week fantasizing about that Powerball lottery. What would you have done with $250,000,000? What dreams would you have indulged? What unthinkable thoughts did you think? Well, now, I, being a ...read more

    Worry is the enemy of faith - and worry can do nothing for you, except give you the illusion of control and concern. Why do it? Because worry is the inevitable result of trusting in ourselves.

    In What Do You Trust – Part 8 – Worry and Trust 1. Overview and Review a. Trust – what is it? Trust is placing the full weight of your care on another without reserve. b.

    Don't let God's best for you be wasted on the illusion of greener pastures somewhere else. Instead, rejoice with your spouse as you give yourselves first to God, then to each other.

    PROVERBS 5: 15-20 PURE OR POLLUTED REFRESHMENT This eye opening chapter deals with a delicate subject daringly and with great directness. The way of wisdom is superbly illustrated by contrasting the false (7-14) with the true. These positive teachings concerning marriage relationship are ...read more

    First in a series on dealing with popular illusions. I can deal with not getting everybody to like me if I will live in integrity, love intentionally, let go of negative feelings, and leave it finally to God.

    More energy has been spent on this one thing than on building the Panama Canal, constructing the Great Pyramids, or creating the Interstate Highway system. More energy! More tears have been shed on this one item than on the depredations of poverty, the destruction wrought by great storms, or a ...read more

    You see, it turns out that much that we think is reality is illusion; and things which seem of little significance may play the key role at the end of all time. A sermon in three parts.

    (This message was preached in three parts separated by singing.) I. Finding Our True Place (This first segment is taught as a children’s object lesson.

    Many live under the illusion that we'll be able to live the good life with the right strategy, the proper techniques, and enough discipline. The reality? James says we are not in control of our lives.

    Opening: One day, a young man saw a sign at a restaurant that said, "Free Lunch Tomorrow." The next day he brought his friends to have lunch at the restaurant. When they finished eating, a waiter came to him with the bill of $100 to pay. He was surprised and didn't want to pay. He ...read more

    One of the hardest struggles we as believers face is the illusion that God is silent and passive, even though it seems like this is the case so very often. But he works on what we might call “Yahweh Time.”

    Yahweh Time (Isaiah 64:1-12) 1. Can you be on those perennial late persons and still succeed in life? 2. A British man named Steve Cleary was in his early 50's, retired from the Royal Navy, and had started a second career. However, he just couldn't seem to get to work on time.

    Contentment is illusive within our culture. How can you find it? Contentment is something God must teach us. Being content with our circumstances comes from God’s enabling strength.

    PHILIPPIANS 4:10-13 CONTENTMENT Psalm 23 Have you been content in all of the circumstances you have faced? Paul knew how to be content whether he had plenty or whether he was in need. He discloses the secret in our text. As we know, the answer ...read more

    I think it’s safe to say that we are all searching for the "good life." Sadly it is very illusive. it may sound a bit too simple, but the answer is love God, other persons and follow Christ.

    Acts 9:36-43 “The Good Life” By: Ken Sauer, Pastor of East Ridge United Methodist Church, Chattanooga, TN Urgently, incessantly Jesus drew people to God. “Seek first the kingdom and righteousness of God,” He said. For this we were made. Nothing else satisfies the longing of our ...read more
