I'm telling you, you're going through it. You look down at your wheelchair. You look down at your shaking limbs. You look down at your withered body. You look down at your depleted bank account. You look down at your empty home because you don't [...]

Take your Bibles. Find Genesis chapter 50. Genesis, as you know, is the first book; chapter 50 is the last chapter in the first book. And we're coming to the closing verses in the book of Genesis and the life of Joseph, and in a moment, we're going [...]

Sir Winston Churchill was a master of the English language. If you've not read his history of the II World War, I encourage you to do so. It'll help us to understand, you and I, western civilization in a way that you will never have through any [...]

I want to talk to you about the trusting prayer that we learn from the psalmist, particularly in Psalm 121. And I hope you're turning to it in your Bible, your iPhone, your iPad, or whatever you do, and get Psalm 121 as I begin to bring this message [...]

You know, one of the most popular comic strips of all time, in fact, it was my favorite, I didn't read comics much, but I did read one as a kid growing up, and it was "Peanuts" by Charles Schultz. And many of us remember Snoopy and Linus [...]

I'm going to show you something that is a puzzle and confused many, many, many believers. I remember years ago somebody challenged this, just threw it in front of me and said to me that not many will be saved, not many will go to heaven, all right? [...]

I want you to stand to your feet right now. If you don't mind everybody stand up and I want you to say something. And before I ask you to repeat it with me, some of you don't believe it. Some of you do believe it, but you don't live like you believe [...]

Today the ruins of the biblical City of Smyrna have been swallowed up by the bustling city of Izmir on turkey's West Coast; two thousand years ago, there was a thriving Christian community there. Jesus tells that church they'll suffer dreadful [...]

Every spirit that is opposing you, every person that's being motivated by a demonic spirit, everything that's coming against you from the realm of darkness you're going to defeat. All your enemies will be defeated. Even those that are coming against [...]

It's good to be with you again. Our topic today's "In the Midst of Tragedy". Most of you know I live in Nashville, Tennessee, and we're walking through a season of, actually, more than one tragedy. We had a horrible school shooting and [...]

Genesis 37:2 says, "And Joseph was seventeen". At this point in his life, he's known very little hardship. Up until his 17th birthday, he was not only his father's favorite, but he was his brothers' arch enemy. They hated the fact that dad [...]

We all walk through those dark times in our lives, things we don't understand. And oftentimes they're things we don't understand why they happen and why they happen when they happen. Times we feel overwhelmed, don't understand what's going on. Times [...]

Most of the time when we're facing a difficulty, we're praying, "God, get me out of this challenge. Get me out of this trouble at work. Get me out of this financial setback. Get me out of this sickness". There's nothing wrong with that, [...]

Turn to Psalm 105:17, as we continue our sermon series on "Joseph's Journey: From The Pit To The Palace" with this sermon "The Darkest Hour". Listen closely. Your darkest hour is conquered by your dream about your future. A dream [...]

Well, welcome to the "Power to Change Today," and today I want to share with you in the form of a one-on-one Bible study from the recent podcast that I call "Think Like A Champion". And today's topic is all about how to face dark [...]

Good morning. Would you turn in your Bibles to the book of 2 Corinthians. 2 Corinthians, pretty easy to find. It's right after 1 Corinthians. Very good. So turn to 2 Corinthians, chapter 12. There was a ship out at sea in a storm, and the ship sank [...]

We're about to read the lyrics essentially of an ancient worship song. That's what the psalms of David and the other psalms in this book were used as. They were used as part of the corporate, public worship of ancient Israel. But what is amazing to [...]

You know, I wanted to share what I think is a practical message with you today that I hope will be of some encouragement. It's about "Coping Through Tough Times." How can we triumph in spite of our trials? The Bible's pretty clear that [...]

I don't care if I fail playing the organ, that's not my greatest competence; I play, but I don't play well enough to have an ego attached to it. But if I fail in the area of my greatest competence then it challenges how I see myself. Joshua fought [...]

Praise God. Every one of you are in for a blessing, amen. Because the Lord keeps on blessing and blessing. And we are coming back to him, amen, and we learned that he always keeps on giving. He never stops giving. Grace is all about supply, law is [...]

No one in their right mind wishes for hardship, but there are times that your hardship is a means for God to do something he might not be able to do if you hadn't dipped your toes into the pond of adversity. For example, a death decree resulted in [...]

Take your Bibles and turn with me to Romans 8, the great 8 chapter of Romans. Many believe that Romans chapter 8 is the greatest chapter in all of the Bible. And if Romans chapter 8 is the greatest chapter in the Bible, many also believe that their [...]

Take God's Word and turn with me to the fifth chapter of the book of Romans, chapter 5. And we are in a series called THE ESSENTIAL GOSPEL. There's nothing above or beyond the Gospel of Jesus Christ. The Apostle Paul said, "I'm not ashamed of [...]

The book of Hebrews is all about this race that we're running, and that we would endure, that we would persevere, that we wouldn't quit, go back or give up, but that we would go onward and upward to maturity and ultimately when we see Christ face to [...]

As I begin today, I want to briefly review one concept with you and that is the three primary covenants of scripture. Beloved, the foundational covenant of scripture is the Abrahamic covenant. Abraham entered into a relationship with the Lord, that [...]

Hey, it's an honor to be together again. We're going to talk today about the necessity of a strong foundation in our faith. You know, most of us understand we begin that journey with a profession of faith, with accepting Jesus, conversion, the new [...]

It's good to be with you again. Our topic is "Big Trouble Ahead," and we're gonna need a strong foundation to flourish in that season when those storms come. It's not a matter of if they're coming, folks; they're coming. In fact, I think [...]

This is It Is Written. I'm John Bradshaw. Thanks for joining me. For many people it's a troubling book of the Bible. It's twice as long as the Gospel of John and almost as long as Ezekiel at 42 chapters. In 41 of those chapters, 98 percent of the [...]

Hey, it's so good to be with you again. We're gonna continue our discussion today on how to thrive in the midst of tribulation, big trouble. You know, really, the word "tribulation's" a biblical word. It really just means big trouble. But [...]

It's a privilege to be with you today. Our topic is, "Thriving in the Midst of Big Trouble," not a negative confession, but folks our world changed in 2020. It was introduced to us with the pandemic, but the turmoil and the confusion, the [...]

It's good to be together to open up the Bible and ask God's blessing, ask the Lord to speak to us. Let's pray before we begin. Our Father in heaven, we thank You for the precious gift of Your Word and ask that You would speak to us through Your [...]

I want to talk to you today about Freedom in The Fire. In the National Park in California there are these huge sequoia trees, they stand over three hundred feet tall, they can live over two thousand years, they're magnificent trees. On the branches [...]

When you face some difficulty, hardship, or trial, or maybe some crisis in your life, what is the first emotion that you feel? Is it fear or is it courage? And if you find yourself in that same circumstance for a period of time, which one of those [...]

Beloved, we are living in times that are unprecedented. I don't even have to say that to you. The division in our country, in the United States, and I know there's people from all over the world that may be watching and you're experiencing many of [...]

Shalom uvracha, peace and blessings beloved one. Last time I was talking about the supernatural ministry of God, of Hashem to you and I of comfort. And I talked about the fact that we'll find that while we're going through the most difficult times [...]

Turn to the book of James chapter 1 and the title of the message is: "Turning Your Trials to Triumph". It's really a continuation of the message that we began last week on trials. "What Works when Life Doesn't". We know that [...]

The message, the story that I have before us today in Luke's Gospel, chapter 9 is a study of the highs and lows, the contrasts that we experience in life. It's the story, the powerful story of one of the most important events in the life of Jesus. [...]

It is a misnomer to think that if you walk with God, and serve God, and do his will and work, that you won't have any trouble. The reality is: they that live godly shall suffer persecution. And you don't get to pick when or how or what the suffering [...]
