Gages Lake Bible Church no Gages Lake Bible Church Sermons darling02@sbcglobal.net ℗ & © 2010 Gages Lake Bible Church 720 Today, all around the nation, groups big and small, families and churches and civic groups are commemorating Sanctity of Life Sunday. First instituted by President Ronald Reagan in 1983, this tradition has continued to this day, typically accompanied by a March for Life on Washington DC. Not every president has officially affirmed this, but people of conscience have set aside this day and this entire month to affirm the value of human life in our society. http://www.sermoncloud.com/gageslake/why-i-am-prolife http://media.monkserve.com/EKK/1929/why-i-am-prolife.mp3 Sun, 24 Jan 2010 04:03:20 GMT Daniel Darling Sanctity of Life Sunday sanctity_of_life,prolife 39:03 We have technology and advancement that allows us to do incredible things. Life-saving advancements in medical research allow people to stay alive when generations ago they wouldn’t have a chance. We can travel long distances in a short time via air travel. Our armies have laser-guided weapons. We build buildings faster and bigger and stronger. We can conduct financial transactions in seconds online and even on our cell phones. http://www.sermoncloud.com/gageslake/multitasking-faith http://media.monkserve.com/EKK/1929/multitasking-faith.mp3 Sun, 10 Jan 2010 21:02:54 GMT Daniel Darling Instant Messages: Prayer for a Connected Generation instant_messages,multitasking,prayer 40:45 We Talk about The Enemy, Because the Bible Talks about The Enemy We take our faith and our doctrine from one place, the Bible. The Bible is our middle name. And while the story of the Bible is about God’s interaction with man through Jesus Christ—the Bible does mention an enemy, Satan. It doesn’t ignore the enemy. It doesn’t pretend he isn’t there. http://www.sermoncloud.com/gageslake/what-we-believe-about-satan http://media.monkserve.com/EKK/1929/what-we-believe-about-satan.mp3 Sun, 10 Jan 2010 20:50:03 GMT Daniel Darling Why We Believe What We Believe believe,satan,enemy 45:57 But what should the resolutions of Gages Lake Bible Church be in the coming year? And where do we find a biblical basis for setting goals together as a church? I want to take you to a familiar passage of Scripture, one that I’m sure most of you have memorized or are at least familiar with. It’s often been called, The Great Commission. If you have your copy of the Scriptures with you, please turn to Matthew 28. http://www.sermoncloud.com/gageslake/looking-forward http://media.monkserve.com/EKK/1929/looking-forward.mp3 Sun, 03 Jan 2010 20:14:26 GMT Daniel Darling Refocus 2010 forward,resolutions,great_commission 44:24 Sometimes life needs a reboot, a breather. Just like the most sophisticated computers need to shut it down every once in a while, so the most spiritual, energetic, okay people need to shut it down every so often too. But everyone, everywhere, has their limits and sometimes those limits are made painfully aware in a moment of personal failure. Nobody knew that than the Biblical superhero, Elijah. http://www.sermoncloud.com/gageslake/when-life-needs-a-reboot http://media.monkserve.com/EKK/1929/when-life-needs-a-reboot.mp3 Sun, 03 Jan 2010 20:32:09 GMT Daniel Darling Instant Messages: Prayer for a Connected Generation instant_messages,elijah,reboot 42:44 Around this time of year, especially this week after Christmas, people begin looking backward at the year, 2009. I think it’s important to look back and evaluate where God has brought us, to learn the lessons of this last year. Reflection is good and it’s important. Didn’t someone say, “those who don’t learn from history are doomed to repeat it?” http://www.sermoncloud.com/gageslake/looking-back http://media.monkserve.com/EKK/1929/looking-back.mp3 Sun, 27 Dec 2009 21:38:52 GMT Daniel Darling Refocus 2010 refocus,new_year,reflection 40:18 “God uses our activities and circumstances to bring us to Himself. When He gives us a God-sized assignment, its sheer impossibility brings us back to Him for His enabling.” Our natural impulse is to look at the Red Seas, the Goliaths, and the Gideon’s as bizarre twists of fate in an unfair world. Even those of us who profess faith in God tend to doubt God can do the impossible—maybe in someone else’s life, but not in our own. We shrink back in unbelief. http://www.sermoncloud.com/gageslake/blue-screen-faith-praying-to-the-god-of-the-impossible http://media.monkserve.com/EKK/1929/blue-screen-faith-praying-to-the-god-of-the-impossible.mp3 Sun, 13 Dec 2009 23:55:04 GMT Daniel Darling Instant Messages: Prayer for a Connected Generation instant_messages,praying,impossible 38:47 Simeon and Anna Had a Bucket List I don’t know what the Hebrew term for bucket is, but I do know that the two central characters in our Christmas story today had a bucket list. They had one central wish before they died. Their wish was to see and behold the promised Messiah, the Son of God, come to save the world from their sins. These two otherwise common, ordinary folks leap onto the pages of the Christmas story in dramatic fashion. http://www.sermoncloud.com/gageslake/simeons-bucket-list http://media.monkserve.com/EKK/1929/simeons-bucket-list.mp3 Sun, 06 Dec 2009 20:41:58 GMT Daniel Darling Characters of Christmas bucket_list,simeon,christmas 39:44 I’m not sure when it happened, but somewhere, sometime; the people in charge of the digital superhighway anointed the CAPS key the ultimate expression of anger (I’m envisioning ten guys with dark glasses in a smoke-filled room at Google’s headquarters). Most of us would like to think these digital screamers are extreme members of pajama-wearing minority with plenty of idle time to spend at the computer in their parent’s basement. We’d like to think the rest of us dignified working folks have neither the time nor the absence of dignity to lower ourselves in this way. But we’d have to confess that if given just the right mix of circumstance and opportunity, we too are capable of letting the angry words fly. http://www.sermoncloud.com/gageslake/praying-in-all-caps http://media.monkserve.com/EKK/1929/praying-in-all-caps.mp3 Sun, 06 Dec 2009 21:20:22 GMT Daniel Darling Instant Messages: Prayer for a Connected Generation instant_messages,screaming,anger 35:33 Today many are questioning the validity of the church in the 21st century. There are movements within Christianity that insist perhaps church isn’t the best expression of God in the world, but that individuals should actually just “be the church” by staying at home or communing in disorganized arrangements of house groups. Let’s all just meet at Starbucks, read a few Scriptures, and hug each other. http://www.sermoncloud.com/gageslake/what-we-believe-about-the-church http://media.monkserve.com/EKK/1929/what-we-believe-about-the-church.mp3 Sun, 29 Nov 2009 17:59:19 GMT Daniel Darling Why We Believe What We Believe believe,church,bible 45:45
