Sermons on Miracles
Joshua 3
SERIES: Joshua: Victory through Faith Got Any Rivers You Think Are Uncrossable? SPEAKER: Michael P. Andrus Introduction: Please turn with me to Joshua, chapter 3: “Early in the morning Joshua and all the Israelites set out from Shittim and went to the Jordan, where they camped before crossing over. After three days the officers went throughout the camp, giving orders to the people: “When you see the ark of the covenant of the LORD your God, and the priests, who are…
Joshua 4
SERIES: Joshua: Victory through Faith Find Ways to NOT Forget SPEAKER: Paul T. Stolwyk DATE: May 26, 1996 Introduction: On my first trip to Moscow, a pastor from Minnesota and I volunteered to meet some people at the Moscow train station and then take the underground Metro to the Moscow Bible Church for Sunday morning services. Rick Thompson, the pastor at Moscow Bible Church, wrote out detailed instructions on how to get to the church from the train station. It had all the…
Matthew 4:12-25, 5:13-16
A Light Has Dawned Introduction: One of my special memories as a child is open air evangelism meetings at Creve Coeur Lake in the late 40’s. My father pastored a little church in Maryland Heights. From time to time in the summer, the church family would gather out at Creve Coeur Lake on a Sunday night and my father would preach out in the open to anyone who would stop to listen. But what I remember most was the singing. Someone in the church had…
Matthew 12:38-50
Are You Looking for Miracles, Reformation, or a Relationship? Introduction: Few people would argue with the assertion that we live in a thoroughly messed-up culture and society. Even the church is full of confused people. Recently religious market researcher and pollster George Barna surveyed hundreds of people with the following statement: “The idea that God helps those who help themselves is taken directly from the Bible. Do you agree strongly, agree somewhat, disagree somewhat, or disagree strongly with that statement?” Among those who claimed to be…
Acts 12
Deliverance, or Power Encounter Introduction: Acts 12 presents one of the great power encounters of the New Testament. The power of prayer and the power of God go up against the power of Satan, with the same victorious result as in the case of so many the great power encounters in the Old Testament, like Gideon and the Midianites, Samson and the Philistines, or Elijah and the prophets of Baal. I suggest to you that victory is also ours today if we will use…
Genesis 47:13-31
How a Wise Leader Functions Under the Providence of God Note: This sermon was preached at a Bible Conference in Sebring, Fl. There is much in this sermon that is repetitious of the sermon on Integrity at Work (#3 in the series), but there is a section that is new that I draw your attention to on pages 3-6. We are facing a leadership crisis in our country. Everywhere one looks—at politics, business, education, academia, or the clergy—one sees a lack of integrity or competence…
Hebrews 11:32-40
God’s Hall of Faith: The Gallery of Israel’s Golden Age, Captivity, and Dispersion In our journey through God’s Hall of Faith in Hebrews 11, we have walked through the Gallery of the Ancients, the Gallery of the Patriarchs, and the Gallery of the Exodus and the Conquest. But once Israel inherited the Promised Land, did the need for faith disappear? Not at all. It was still essential and still evident during Israel’s Golden Age, Captivity, and Dispersion. These are the final galleries of the…
