    It is hard to understand why God doesn’t answer our prayers as we would like. When God says no, He never says, "Because I said so!" ALSO USEFUL FOR FUNERAL SERVICE

    Parents often have to tell their children, “no.” From time to time God tells His children no also. We have all experienced the confusion and disappointment that floods our hearts when God tells us no. + Isaiah 40:10-15 10See, the Sovereign Lord comes with power, and his arm rules for him.

    This sermon teaches you how to respond when God says no (to your requests).

    Has God ever said no to something you desired? Maybe you asked for a new job, a change of career, a new house or a similar request. In I Samuel 8 we find an occasion when God’s people requested something they did not need. When they prayed God told them, no! The people had prayed that Samuel would ...read more

    I want us to look at what happens when God says no. Does that mean that God doesn’t care for us? Does it mean that He’s being cruel? Let’s take a look at a couple different times in scripture when God said no to his children’s prayers.

    WHEN GOD SAYS NO Barbara Kerby has written a humorous reflection about her first experience of driving. Barbara’s father took her to the high school parking lot for driving lessons. For this particular lesson, Barbara’s three-year-old sister rode along in the backseat. While trying to negotiate a ...read more

    David is a man after God’s own heart for sure. Just look at how he responds after hearing God say "no" to his plan to build the temple.

    Introduction: A. I spent some time looking for a good joke to begin today’s sermon, but I came up empty. 1. When I got to thinking about it, I realized that today’s subject is not very funny. 2. None of us like to hear the answer “NO.” That’s true of children, teenagers and adults. B. I ...read more

    When God says "no" it's because He wants what's best for us.

    Two weeks ago we looked at the story of Jonathan and his armor bearer charging the Philistines. It was one of those times in scripture when God said not just yes but maybe. Why did God say maybe? Because he wanted Jonathan to pick a direction and go. God was waiting for someone to choose to ...read more

    Like Paul, we all have a "thorn in the flesh." We can learn from Paul that God allows it, Satan sends it, and we can accept it. Because when we are weak, then we are strong, with God's strength on display through our weakness.

    2 Corinthians 12:7-10 When God Says No Have you ever received a “no” answer from God? It hurts, right? You think you know best, you really do. And then God says, “I don’t think so.” Well, it particularly hurts when you’ve been suffering, and not only does God not remove the suffering, but maybe ...read more

    We don’t like to be told ‘no’. When we ask for something and the answer is ‘no’ we feel rejected and deprived. We walk away frustrated or sad. What about when God says 'no'? Let’s look at some examples where people had a proper response to being told no.

    WHEN GOD SAYS “NO” INTRODUCTION: We don’t like to be told ‘no’. When we ask for something and the answer is ‘no’ we feel rejected and deprived. We walk away frustrated or sad. It can take the wind right out of our sails. Sometimes a ‘no’ answer ...read more

    We never like to accept a "No" answer in our life, especially in prayer, but the fact is that there are times God replies to us with a firm No because He wants to reveal to us a deeper plan.

    When we were children, we never liked hearing the word 'No' when we ask our parents for something. We felt as though our every wish should be granted. If you say otherwise, we can pray later. Frankly, as adults, we feel the same way. We do not like to be told no in regards to ...read more

    What is it that you expect from God when you pray? What answer do you expect to receive?

    WHEN GOD SAYS NO Introduction: What is it that you expect from God when you pray? What answer do you expect to receive? Surely most of us phrase our prayers in such a way that all God has to do is say, "Yes, yes my child." Most of the testimonies that we hear are such that God says, ...read more

    When God tells us "no" to one of our requests, it does not mean He does not care for us, it usually means He has something else for us

    And when thy days be fulfilled, and thou shalt sleep with thy fathers, I will set up thy seed after thee, which shall proceed out of thy bowels, and I will establish his kingdom. He shall build an house for my name, and I will stablish the throne of his kingdom for ever. 2 Samuel ...read more

    First in a six-part series on the life of faith as seen in the person of Abraham

    OK, here’s the story: man worships many gods; man hears voice of real God speaking; man drops everything he’s doing and moves away; man has kid at 100 years of age to 90-year-old wife. That story’s a dime a dozen; I’m sure every one of us can identify with it, right? Or not… But consider the ...read more
