Greater Life Church

Many people are searching for a revelation, but more important than revelation is a realization. The realization of what God has already provided opens the door to the fullness of His blessings. One of the saddest portions of scripture comes in the parable of the prodigal son, where the older brother is angry about the feast and celebration of his brother’s return. The older brother never realized...

There are many questions all over the world. Why is this happening? What should I do? When will this end? People are anxious because of their current circumstances. We do not ask these questions when times are good. But when things turn, we begin to question why everything is going wrong. There are things in this life that we do not understand. We do not have the answers, but we know that we can t...

Bible scholars are not sure when Paul wrote our text tonight, but we can tell from the writings that he had never been to Rome. Paul was drawn to the church in Rome because of their faith. Faith is contagious. That is one reason the Bible tells us to congregate together. Our assembly provides the benefit of multiplying faith from one to another.

The Houston Zoo has a bald eagle in one of their displays. Looking at that majestic bird, one cannot help but feel sorry for a creature that once soared over the trees and mountains to be bound up in their zoo enclosure. Likewise, it is so sad to see a person living so far under the capacity that God intended for them. Too often this happens because we limit what God can do in our life. Israel oft...

The sanctuary is a special place. It is more than the sheetrock and carpet that make up the room. From the beginning, the sanctuary was to be a place where God could meet with His people. It is more than a place where we can feel good, though it can be that. It is a place where we can get right without selves and right with God. The sanctuary was a place where people could come to offer their sacr...

Often in life, when things do not seem to be going well, we declare that we will just prepare for the worst. Although that is human nature, it is not the way that God wants us to live. If we look back to the first-century church, we see people in a wicked world who were not so concerned about what the world had become, but rather what had come to the world: The gospel of Jesus Christ. God does not...

The expression “In The Meanwhile” is a literary tool to transition the reader to another event that is transpiring simultaneously. In westerns, it is often used after the writer has outlined a dire situation to set the reader up for the solution to that situation. In our text, the man of God has prophesied that there would be no rain until he said so. After three years, he prophecies that it will...

Nine-Eleven was an event that is indelibly etched in people. One of the stories from that terrible time is the rescue dogs who searched for bodies in the rubble. The handlers observed that the dog became lethargic after a time. They came to realize that the dogs were depressed because they had lost hope of finding someone alive. Even a dog has to have hope to keep going. We can live a few days wit...

Nothing worthwhile comes easily. If we want great things, we have to battle to get them. If we want miracles, we will have to deal with some impossibilities. God is looking for some people who are not looking for the easy road. People who do not care if it costs more prayer or fasting. He is looking for people who are willing to be used even when being used involves work and struggle. If we want t...

The word that came to Jeremiah in our text is relevant to us today. Judah was on the verge of spiritual and moral collapse. God sent a man to give them a message of instruction and direction to a people adrift and in great danger. Immorality was rife, and the word of God was scorned. The nation felt that Egypt would be their salvation rather than God. They were a people who were active in reformat...

The lure is a temptation, a distraction. Hunters use various lures to trick their prey to walk into a trap. Lures are traps that will lead to death. The lure is a diversion that is there to fool the animal. The ducks fly by and see the decoys sitting out on the lake and mistake it for a safe place to land. Their perceptions tell them that it is safe until it is not. The danger of the lure is real...

We’ve all heard the saying that if it isn't broken, don’t fix it. Spiritually, if things are going well, then do not change anything. The converse to this is that if things are NOT going well, we have to fix it. It is sobering to realize that our relationship with God had changed. Often it is not a physical change. We are coming to church, paying tithes, and singing songs, but something is differe...

We’ve all heard the phrase “Monkey see; Monkey do.” It speaks to a process of learning. One learns how to do something, and another sees that and then tries to do the same thing. Monkey see; monkey do works when the behavior is beneficial, but what about when the behavior is dangerous or destructive.? The children of Israel crossed the Red Sea and were delivered from Egyptian bondage. They celebra...
