2 Corinthians 1:1-1:21
God of All Comfort
2 Corinthians 1
Blessed be God, even the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies, and the God of all comfort [2Cor. 1:3].
The word for "blessed" is actually praise -- Praise be to God.
David put it like this: "I will bless the LORD at all times: his praise shall continually be in my mouth" (Ps. 34:1). That…

Isaiah 40:29-54:17
I,VE ABOUT HAD IT
So many times we find ourselves out of touch with the real world and start to feel like we
should just give up and move on.
No one cares no one ever sees us we are just another fixture in a world full of problems .
Good news look up and see what God has for you.
Let me ask you 7 little questions and see if they fit you.
(1) ARE YOU TIRED?

Introduction: 1. Psa. 55:6-8 "Oh, that I had wings like a dove! For then would I fly away, and be at rest, Lo then would I wonder far off, and remain in the wilderness. I would hasten by escape from the windy storm and tempest"
2. Each of us experience disappointments and sorrows in life. If only I could escape from my problems and rest. The deeper the pain the more elusive comfort is.
3. Matthew 5:4 "Blessed are they that mourn; for they…

1 John 3:4 "Sin is the transgression of the law."
Sinner, did you ever inquire what sin is? Did you ever study the Word of God, that you might have proper views of this greatest of all evils? If you have never made the inquiry, your state is bad, dreadfully bad. Your salvation is at stake. Look seriously into the text. Lift up your heart to God, and say, "Lord, give me proper views of sin." "Sin is the transgression of the law." What law? The law of the most holy God. Where is this…

New Year Priorities
Matthew 6:33-6:33
INTRO.- ILL.- A reporter covering a coal-mine disaster wrote a story that began: “God looked at the grief today in this little West Virginia mining town, and He wept.” The city editor emailed back: “Forget the mine cave-in. Interview God.”
Obviously, getting to know God in a personal way should be our greatest priority in life. If we plan on spending eternity with Him then it seems like a good idea to get acquainted with Him…

Welcome to the Tribulation
Matthew 24:9-24:14
This is the Lord’s final message on the End of the World, which is only the beginning of eternity! The ‘beginning of sorrows’ speaks of the birth pangs this world will feel both before the rapture and during the first portion of the Great Tribulation.
You won’t find the church in this passage because it is gone. Aren’t you glad we are not appointed unto wrath?! The same thing happens in Revelation where up…

End Times Explosion
Matthew 24:32-24:44
This week an errant spy satellite, usually capable of reading a newspaper on earth from space, was shot down in low earth orbit with a missile precise to the square foot where the actual fuel tank was located, and we were able to see it happen on video from the ground. Amazing indeed is all that “I can spy with my little eye” today!
Is it possible that Jesus will…

The Great White Throne Judgment - Judgement
Revelation 20:11-20:15
The Great White Throne
Revelation 20:11-15
These verses describe the final event of all of human history. God is putting the last period on the last sentence of the last paragraph of the last page. This is the final judgment of all who die lost, never having repented and never having received Christ as their Savior. This is serious, and…

Restoring the Romance
Revelation 2:1-2:5
RESTORING THE ROMANCE
Well, why don’t you treat me like you used to do? How come you treat me like a worn out shoe?
My hair’s still curly and my eyes are still blue.
Why don’t you love me like you used to do?
Why don’t you spark me like you used to do?
And say sweet nothings like you used to do?
I’m the same old trouble that you’ve always been through,
So, why don’t you love me like you…

WHAT HAVE WE DONE
Collectively we as a nation have elected a president on the word that he would bring change as to how the federal government would be run and be more transparent in the process. Little did the general public know that this newly elected president and his agenda for America would result in catastrophic deficits way beyond our imagination. Deficits that will and have saddled our grandchildren and great-grandchildren with more debt than all of the presidents in the history…

How Long?
Proverbs 1:20-1:29
This Proverb was written by Solomon Son of David. Solomon finished the Temple that David started and when he dedicated the building to GOD his glory filled the temple. GOD appeared to Solomon and asked what shall I give thee and Solomon ask for an understanding heart that he may be able to discern between good and evil to judge his people and Solomon’s speech pleased the Lord and not only did he grant this request but he also gave Solomon…

Unanswered Prayer: Turning them into Answered Prayers
1. Look for a promise that you can claim for your situation. (2 Peter 1:4; 2 Cor. 7:1; 1 Cor. 1:20)

3. Prayerfully go through the list of hindering factors and ask God to show you if any are present.
4. Prayerfully make an inventory of your life to see if anything needs changing. (2 Chron. 7:14)

Unanswered Prayer: Nineteen Reasons
God wants to answer our prayers and there are countless promises in the Bible that can be claimed in that regard. We need to ask with every expectation of getting answers! However, sometimes answers to prayer are delayed or go unanswered for a variety of reasons. The following thoughts indicate some of the more common reaons for unanswered prayers.
A. Unanswered Prayer: Is Not God's Desire.
Matt. 7:7,8

The Christian and Government
Romans 13:1-13:7
God’s timing is always perfect. As I began preparing a sermon for July 4th weekend, I looked at the next chapter of Romans and what did I find before me? I found Romans 13 which deals the Christian’s role in government. How timely.
Remember, the Apostle Paul shifted gears beginning with Chapter 12. We have moved from learning to living. We are no longer talking about doctrine; we are talking about duty.…

In our neighborhoods, we see good people get cancer while those who seem to live hard partying lives, remain healthy

The Backbone of Bible Prophecy
Matthew 24:15; Daniel 9:24-27
Jesus tells us to turn back to Daniel, so we’d better do what we’re told! It is the skeletal structure of all prophecy, so it can be a great help in our study of the end times.
v. 24-27

Is God Against Sex, Fun and Pleasure?
1 Corinthians 7:1-7:7
Last week we concluded from Scripture that God isn’t the bogeyman some people make Him out to be. (“Does God Punish Us When We Sin?”)
Instead of being inclined to punish us when we sin He is actually more inclined to show us mercy. He loves us so much that Jesus suffered our punishment. When He does punish is not in vindictiveness. His punishment is just because it stems from His perfect nature…
