We are living in extremely difficult times today. We see examples of large corporations that have failed due to the greedy acts of a few, and that failure has affected every level of American life, from the boardroom to the small towns in each city. Why? This is a result of our removal of God from our homes, schools, government, nation and society; however, we can take a stand today to fight for what God has given us and, once again proclaim that we are "One Nation Under God." Regardless of what opposition we may face, we can stand firm upon the promises of God. We must not be ashamed to live for and proclaim our faith in Jesus Christ.

If we want to save America, we must awaken and repent from our sin and start living for God at home right now. We can no longer afford to be ignorant of these facts any more, and must turn back to Biblical principals and the freedom that Jesus Christ offers. This is where we start and this is what we need.

  • Christ
  • His blood
  • Our faith
  • The promises of God
  • The saints of God
    • Remembering that these things are precious to God should encourage us through our daily lives. If you find yourself today, not knowing the Lord, He awaits your precious prayer for salvation and will give you forgiveness and everlasting life. This can be yours today. If you already know Him as your Savior, then rejoice in these truths.

    This challenging sermon focuses on passages of scripture that closely parallel the times in which we live. Many people are seeking someone or something to provide them with hope, deliverance and direction for their lives. Like the Israelites in today's reading, many have fashioned idols in their lives -- choosing to turn away from God and turning their worship, time and devotion to man-made idols. Some Christians have also turned away from God. Tired of waiting for Him to act, they find themselves living ineffective, hollow and unfulfilled lives. When we lose site of God, we quickly turn our worship to other things or other people.

    As we await the return of the Lord, what choices have you made? It is God's desire that you choose to follow Jesus and remain faithful to Him alone, living a life that brings glory to Him. Have you chosen to remove Jesus from the throne and replace Him with something or someone else? If the Lord continues to put his finger on a sin in your life, what is your excuse? The bottom line is that it is neither right nor acceptable to live in sin. Although we have the freedom of choice, may we make the right choice, repent from our sin and turn back to Him -- and, once that choice is made, we must remain faithful, surrendering our lives to Him and standing with Him. If not, how long will you waiver between two choices?

    This choice is one of life and death. If you choose to set this decision aside or make it a trivial matter, you have chosen a dangerous path. There will be a time, when it will be too late to make the choice to follow Jesus. The time of choosing is now. Will you repent of your sins, surrender your life and follow Jesus?

    This encouraging sermon message focuses on the life of one courageous and obedient follower of God: Elijah. The times in which Elijah lived are very much like the times we live in today. Elijah was a man of great courage, enthusiasm and zeal for the Lord. The keys to these characteristics in his life were born out of his dedication to God. Being a man of prayer, he spent much of his time in private preparation and fellowship with God in order to administer his public ministry. Are these believers of old really any different than we are today?

    Three key elements of Elijah's life are examined:
    1. Elijah was convinced of the reality of God.
    2. Elijah was convinced he was a personal representative for the Living God.
    3. Elijah was aware of the resources available to him as a personal representative of the Lord Jesus.

    These same circumstances confronted the believers in Peter's day as well. How did they live in a world gone mad? Thankfully, Peter carried out the orders given him by Jesus to "tend my sheep" and masterfully reveals to us the keys to successful living in dark times. We are called "aliens and strangers," as we must remember that we are simply sojourning through this earthly world. We are strangers. As we are here only for a short time, there is an urgency to Peter's message. God wants us to know that we can view the world differently -- with hope. There should be a definitive difference between the believer and unbeliever. This challenging sermon focuses on what we can do to live a life that brings glory to God.

    This encouraging sermon focuses on the disciple Thomas. Because of his failure, Thomas has been known as "doubting Thomas" throughout the ages. Doubt can be the number one destructive element in our lives; however, God wants us to be victorious over doubt, through the studying of His word, praying and spending time with Him. Five main points are examined:
    • Who was Thomas?
    • Why did Thomas doubt?
    • Who Changed Thomas’ life?
    • How Did Thomas get to his point of change?
    • What did Jesus do for Thomas to help him?

    We need to obey in this same manner, even when things don’t make sense. We need to behave like Abraham, without arguing and without delay, acting from a pure love of God and remembering Jesus' comforting words "Trust Me." Perhaps God may not test us in the manner that we would prefer; however, if we are obedient and move by faith, God promises that He will make things clear -- in His time. We cannot do this in and of ourselves, but the good news is that we can seek God's provision if grace from the One who supplies all grace, peace and courage. We can trust Him.

    This sermon illustrates the importance of making right choices, as well as the negative consequences of making the wrong choice. Each one of us faces a number of choices each day. How do you make a decision when faced with a number of difference choices? What happens when you make the right choice? What happens when you make the wrong choice? What resources does God provide to assist us in making the right choice? Who influences our choices?

    Four parts are examined which make up all choices:
    • Setting: What are the circumstances?
    • Options: What options are available?
    • Outside Influence: What external forces are influencing our decision?
    • Result/Consequence: What are the results and/or consequences?

    This is the story of millions of people today. Many people are far away from God and spiritually bankrupt. The only thing that can make you a new man or woman is a life in Jesus Christ. No amount of recreation, lust, money or any other thing this world has to offer equals a life in Christ. Many people attend church regularly, but their lives and minds are in the world. They quickly forget the message and Messenger as soon as they leave.

    The choice is yours to make. Will you continue to drift away from God, or come back home to God's loving arms? Only God can fulfill the needs of a hungry soul. He promises to bless you and take care of you, if you will simply come to Him.]]>         Certainty In The Midst Of Uncertainty info@srvbc.org Sun, 08 Feb 2009 11:30:00 -0700 http://www.srvbc.org/view_media.asp?mediaID=1128 Sermon by Dean Allen from John 8:31-32

    Is there a specific place or a specific institution where one can obtain wisdom? Thankfully, the answer is a resounding "yes." God had given us the Bible as a source of truth, instruction and inspiration. This book tells us, through the gospels, who the source of all truth is. Today's message focuses on the book of Proverbs. It has been said of the Proverbs that it is the book of "compressed experience." It is a book of contrasts, illustrating the perils of rebellion and the rewards of obedience in the ways of God. It is a book of choices, the pathways of life, and a book that contrasts being wise versus being foolish.

    The word "proverb" means "to compare, or to rule." The word "wisdom" means "insight into those actions that please God." A proverb will tells us of a right thing, and wisdom is doing that right thing. Prudence, knowledge and discretion are also keys to living a godly life. A healthy Christian is continually learning and growing, seeking wise counsel to consult with and to listen to. This helps us to understand the various proverbs of life.

    The wise person acquires wisdom in order to teach him how to live a godly life, not influenced by the wicked things of this world. The only way to acquire wisdom is to first fear the Lord(i.e. taking God with the greatest level of seriousness), worship and live for Him.

    The question we must ask ourselves is: how seriously do we take God? Have we taken the first step to obtain wisdom? Knowing there are not shortcuts to wisdom, start where we all need to start, that is at the feet of Jesus.

    We can easily mention the name of God in today's society, without much resistance or backlash; however, the mention of Jesus' name elicits much backlash and hatred. Many believe that Jesus is not the Son of God and therefore, not the Savior of the world; however, without Jesus, there would not be a gospel, and we would have no hope. If He had not risen, the Bible tells us that we are to be pitied more than all other men, as we are putting our faith in a fraud.

    What would it be like without Jesus? What would life be like if it were all a lie? It would be full of despair, defeat and hopelessness. The truth, however, is that Jesus has come and has delivered those who believe in Him from sin. He has changed lives forever. Many will ask for proof of this transformation. That proof should come from each believer's testimony. Believers should be living lives that truly glorify Christ. Even though Jesus has not yet manifested Himself again on this earth, the effects of Him should be evident to all -- through believers. Do people see the proof of Christ in our lives?

    3. Pray for His help with urgency.

    The story of Job in scripture provides similar circumstances of despair and hopelessness, but Job's investment wasn't in belongings, possessions or people. His hope was in the Lord. He never despaired or lost hope because his hope was in One who would never fail. Four key points are examined:
    1. Satan's plan is to accuse and destroy. He takes no prisoners.
    2. God always has a purpose in mind when allowing suffering.
    3. The suffering that God allows is always for our good.
    4. Where is our hope today?

    Influence of others is the common theme of these chapters. Today, the pervasiveness of evil seems to be the leading influential factor; however, we must strive to turn the tide, making Christianity an influencing factor by leading godly lives that attract others to Christ.

    The Apostles were for the most-part simple, uneducated men; however, these men had great influence upon those with whom they interacted. It was solely through God's equipping that the Apostles could possess such influence, boldness and clearness in communicating with others. These men had been with Jesus and gained such an intimate relationship with Him, that they obtained His power. We too can have this same effectiveness. The foundation of an influential life has three main elements:
    1. Christian influence begins with a conversion (new birth) experience.
    2. Christian influence requires communion (companionship) with Jesus Christ.
    3. Christian influence requires commitment to His life and teaching.
    Do you want to have an influential life? Do you want a life where others notice that you have been with Jesus?

    God's word provides an anchor of truth, reminding us that God is in control. We do not choose the times of joy or the times of sorrow. We do, however choose how we react to these times. The verses today illustrate the timeline of life. There will always be events that occur in our lives creating chaos and causing turmoil. Apart from God, this can lead to hopelessness and depression, but in Him, there can always be peace. Trusting God is the key to satisfaction and peace in our lives. Looking to Jesus for salvation will result in a new life perspective.

  • This world is not our home; we are aliens, foreigners and strangers.
  • We are chosen for a purpose, chosen to obedience, to serve and to die daily to ourselves.
  • Our inheritance is certain, permanent and undefiled. Our inheritance is God Himself, and all believers will be in heaven with Him; we are protected by the power of God. No one can steal the Christian's treasure, and no one can prevent us from receiving it.
  • Although we may experience distressing trials, we can be assured that if we cling to the Lord, the resulting outcome will be a faith that is proven, genuine and true.
    • Reflect again of how great the salvation is that we received at the time of conversion. We have not seen Christ, but we love Him and rejoice beyond words. In view of what Christ has done, how are we to react to this gift? Our conduct must change in order to be ready at the time of Christ's return:
    • We must "roll-up our sleeves" -- beginning to act as those who mean business (staring with a disciplined mind).
    • We must be sober -- morally alert in our speech and conduct.
    • We must be obedient -- we simply cannot continue doing whatever we want, acting the same as when we did not know the Lord.
    • We must be holy in all our behavior, as Jesus is holy. The true role model is nothing less than God Himself. We must be obedient children, reproducing the family likeness.
    The day of God's return is quickly approaching. We must be ready for that day, by living right today.

  • Saved - confession of sin and acceptance of what Jesus did on our behalf.
  • Sanctified - holy and walking with the Lord.
  • Sincere
    • We must examine our lives and get to the place where we are ready to be open and sincere before God. By confessing our sins and sincerely surrendering all of ourselves humbly before the Lord, we will find that God stands ready with His grace and mercy to forgive us and give us everlasting life.

    The list of effective leaders is extremely short. Although a mere cupbearer for the King, Nehemiah turned out to be a great leader. He had a passionate burden to rebuild the walls protecting Jerusalem.

    The wall was nothing but a pile of useless rubble. Nehemiah sat and wept over the state of affairs and knew it was his duty to gather and lead the people to rebuild the wall. Although they faced opposition and mocking, they did not despair, as Nehemiah encouraged the workers and set a Godly example because he trusted in the Lord. Nehemiah left his life of comfort in the King's palace and went back to his country to fulfill God's calling.

    Workers that are called to lead must have a heavy burden for leadership. Feeding lives, enduring difficulties, conflicts, discouragements and battles are only a few of the experiences encountered on a daily basis. Leaders are chosen and placed by God. Leadership is not a self-appointed position.

    All believers that are truly born again are called to work. No matter your skills or background you can be a worker for God. Are you committed to Him and willing to do whatever He asks you to do? Hard work has always been a requirement of servanthood, and God is looking for hard workers ready and committed to carry out His work. God is looking for workers willing to work 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Are you as committed as the enemies of God, who continually wage war against His people and His ways? God is opposed to the wicked, but blesses the righteous. What part do you play? Are you a committed builder or a wrecker in the great work of God?]]>         From Despair To Hope info@srvbc.org Sun, 31 Aug 2008 11:30:00 -0700 http://www.srvbc.org/view_media.asp?mediaID=1078 Sermon by Randy White from Psalm 18:1-6,16-20,46-50
    How do we transform our despair to hope? How do we find solace in our circumstances? The key can be found in the first few verses of Psalm 18. If we have a deep, sincere love for God, He promises to provide the hope and strength we need to persevere. We can also be confident in the fact that these seasons in our lives will bring about lasting change in our character, resulting in a closer, more intimate walk with God.

    God delights in helping His children. He can be counted on to be there for us, no matter what the circumstance. Described as the Rock of Salvation, He is a safe and steady fortress. Under His wings we can weather any storm.

    How do you see yourself today? Do you see your faith, trust, and hope increasing, or are you still in despair? Those that turn and seek the Lord are promised a blessed encounter. His lovingkindness encompasses you as you place your trust in Him. God rules all and is in control of all things. Realizing our circumstances and struggles are too great for us to handle is the first step in seeking His help.

    Although God does not always act in a way that we would prefer, we can rest in the fact that His way is the best way. God knows better and His goodness can never be exhausted. Christians are people of hope, not of despair. Hope always has the foundation of Jesus Christ.

    Jesus Christ delivered the greatest farewell speech, a message of truth and hope. Prior to His day of crucifixion, the Lord Jesus gathered His disciples, humbling Himself He washed their feet, telling them not to be troubled as He was going to prepare a place for them. He told them that He would return to bring them to that dwelling place, to be with Him for eternity.

    Although we struggle and at times may want to give up, Jesus encourages us by asking us to wait just a little longer. His promise of return is further enhanced by the promise of where He is going to take us. Oh the joy that should fill our hearts with these promises. There is, however, only one way in which we are able to realize these promises. He states simply that He is the Way, the Truth and the Life -- no one comes to the Father except through Him. In view of this truth, to where are you headed? The opportunity is given to you today to accept this free gift, believing what Jesus has said and what He has done on our behalf. Jesus is returning soon. Are you ready?

    In life there are two roads -- one is narrow, and one is wide. The wide road is, unfortunately, the one that the majority of folks choose. It is a road of self-effort and self-satisfaction. The narrow road, however, is one of faith and obedience to the Lord Jesus Christ. Our lives are not simply a series of random events. The Lord knows all, long before circumstances occur in our lives. It is easy for us to make our own plans, however God desires to be in our plans. The sweet path of God begins with our decision to accept Him as our Lord and Savior. The Lord delights in directing our steps, and though we may stumble and even fall along the way, what counts is that we get up each time in order to continue the journey. God promises to care for His people each and every day. The Lord will supply the strength and stamina we need, loving and encouraging us along the way. We should desire to make our daily goal to please the Lord, seeking His will in our plans for each day. Have you made a decision for Christ?

    The Bible predicts these times and current events. Trials will come both to the righteous and the unrighteous. Trials have one of two effects: bringing about a softening of one's heart,or a hardening of one's heart.

    This challenging sermon outlines three groups of individuals in Daniel Chapter 3 and how they each reacted to trials. It is obvious that trials are here to stay. How we react to those trials will have an everlasting effect with regard to where we stand with God. We have the unique and awesome opportunity to claim God's promise which states, "He will never leave us, nor forsake us."

    While society looks at the outward accomplishments of a man, God looks at the inner strength. Being an effective godly father requires that we be effective spiritual leaders in our homes. Leaving this responsibility to others will lead to a lifetime of regrets. In order to develop a godly character, we need to spend time with Jesus, in His Word and on our knees in order to gain godly understanding and wisdom.

    The ingredients for a peaceful and godly home can are summed up with:
    • A surrendered life to God (being a godly servant)
    • A faithfulness to God
    • A loyal Spirit to God and leadership.
    • A selfless love (a child cannot find the love of God without first finding godly love in his father)
    • A Gentle Sprit

    Today's scripture highlights the reign of King Asa, initially a man of action who sought to follow God and seek His will. Over time, however, temptations came in the midst of prosperous times. After giving in to temptations and disobeying God's word through His prohpet, King Asa's end was far worse than his beginning.

    May we have the desire to finish strong by staying close to God, continuing to humble ourselves before Him, relying completely upon Him and worshiping Him. Using the resources God has placed before us and seeking wise counsel will guarantee a peaceful and fruitful life and a strong finish.

    Calling us to Himself, He desires us to live a life of service, devotion and 100% commitment. Being handpicked from the harvest, we have a job to do, and allowing God to change us from who we were to who He wants us to be will lead to the privilege of sharing our faith with others and sow seeds for God's harvest. Having this awesome privilege, we must ask ourselves what kind of picture of Jesus are we drawing for others to see? How can I best reflect the Lord in my life? Having the sweet fragrance of our Lord Jesus will have an attraction to others longing to hear the good news of the gospel.

    There was, however, a season of his life where he was afraid and fled. Alone and in despair, he prayed for the Lord to take his life. Even so, the Lord provided nourishment in order for Elijah to travel a bit further to a place where he would have a life-changing encounter with God. Elijah experienced God in a new and different way. Afterwards, God was able to still use a broken vessel to accomplish His purposes in an even greater way.

    We can claim these same promises today if we are honest and clean before God. Being confident in the Lord's ability and willingness to sustain us through our darkest moments, we must focus on God's promises rather than on our fears and failures, obediently following and depending on Him.

    Many are the afflications of people today. Why does the Bible contain so many accounts of Jesus meeting with people with problems? -- the woman at the well, the lost hope of disciples on the road to Emmaeus shortly after Jesus' crucifiction, the man with the withered hand - all bruised reeds or smoldering wicks. We can imagine the desperate prayer on their lips begging for relief from the never-ending pain.

    The world has no room for people such as these. Jesus, however, is committed to doing good, maintaining His love and compassion for all of us. Jesus' healing requires no follow-up visits or second procedures. His spiritual healing is once and for all. Our passage today illustrates how, at a certain time, there was an encounter with God that resulted in a renewed relationship and closeness with Him.

    God who comforts the hurting and weak and will never snuff out a smoldering wick or break a bruised reed.

  • A Life that is inspirational for spiritual development. This begins from the moment a child is born. Inspirational spiritual living and teaching a child goldiness, does not require a high level of education, a degree in child psychology, nor any special skills -- only a close walk with God and sincere faith. Introducing children to Jesus Christ first and foremost ahead of anything else will be the beginning of a valuable Christian heritage.
  • A life that is an encouragement to her children's Christian service. Leading a life that includes and places a high priority on service to God encourages children to lead a life of service as well. This is an essential foundation in a child's life. Children will find inspiration in this training and example if started early, and they are encouraged along the way.
  • A life that is a witness to God's grace. Children are natural imitators. Whatever example that is put before them, they will follow. Nothing is more contagious than a mother that seeks to live a life after God's own heart. This provides a living example for a child to follow.
    • A mothers beautiful life is the greatest sermon a child will ever hear.

    What cares do you have on your heart? Cares that are perhaps so deep, so dear, and so personal, that no one else knows -- but, God knows. He is willing and able to lovingly address those issues, but we need to go to the source of all comfort, care and solutions.

    We must come to the end of ourselves and realize that:

      • R - Remedies

Many profess godliness with their mouths but deny Him in their hearts. There are no individuals or rebels in heaven. The Lord asks today, "Why do YOU call me Lord?" The thief on the cross almost missed his last opportunity; however, he said "Lord, remember me when You come into Your kingdom". The man was sincere and recognized Jesus' Lordship. Paul on the Road to Damascus said, "Lord, what would you have me to do?"

    He is Lord; before His birth, after His birth, during His time on earth and after His ressurection. He is the Lord of Lords and King of Kings. There is no new life without the Him. Bow the knee and recognize Him as Lord and Savior today.
