Why do we have organized Bible classes for people of all ages and encourage people to spend time in God’s Word in small groups and in their own private time? It’s an important question.

We may escape it for a while. The joy of the pleasure may temporarily drown out the pain. But at some point we are forced to face the reality of how our own desires caused the mess.

Hard times. Problems. Nobody wants them. No likes them. But if we are to grow in faith, tests are crucial to maturity.

It is a mark of spiritual maturity when we learn to be patient with one another rather than dismissive or strong-handed.

What’s missing? We talk a lot about being the godly men and women that Christ died for us to be. The desire of our hearts is to give our lives for God. But what does it take to "GO"? (Evening Sermon Message by Dewey Howard, 12-20-2009) http://www.greenlawn.org/audio/SermonFiles/Sermon2009-12-20pm.mp3 C9B7F7E7-4F19-4463-A8A4-31C897A138D4 Mon, 21 Dec 2009 09:40:32 -0600 One of the greatest concerns -- it should be the greatest -- for parents is rearing their children to love and follow God.

Sometimes we can’t even explain it ourselves. But we use plenty of scapegoats, including blaming the law. Paul reveals that what is happening is spiritual. (Evening Sermon Message by Dale Mannon, 12-13-2009) http://www.greenlawn.org/audio/SermonFiles/Sermon2009-12-13pm.mp3 E33D9F04-5EB3-430C-B0DC-204181892698 Mon, 14 Dec 2009 10:20:12 -0600 It is a privilege to talk to God on behalf of someone else – one that we should practice frequently.

In this lesson, we look at a few of those threats and how they deal with them. (Morning Sermon Message by Dale Mannon, 11-22-2009) http://www.greenlawn.org/audio/SermonFiles/Sermon2009-11-22am.mp3 BE7B7EB6-6578-43CA-9665-C5D53F9D7340 Mon, 23 Nov 2009 11:35:52 -0600 After making the case for the destructiveness and power of sin that affects every person, Paul now helps readers appreciate the glory and greatness of God’s grace.

Abraham’s relationship with God blessed the nations and generations that followed him. Ultimately a child was born that saved the world through His death, burial and resurrection. (Morning Sermon Message by Dale Mannon, 11-15-2009) http://www.greenlawn.org/audio/SermonFiles/Sermon2009-11-15am.mp3 6F062FAE-D75C-4966-8BC9-A9ADCF768636 Mon, 23 Nov 2009 11:32:59 -0600 What does it mean to be saved by grace through faith? What part do we play? What part does God play? Is the “Let’s Make a Deal”? Is this “Let go and let God”? What is the gospel message of salvation? (Evening Sermon Message by Dale Mannon, 11-15-2009) http://www.greenlawn.org/audio/SermonFiles/Sermon2009-11-15pm.mp3 B05B54A6-AC06-4832-AEDC-114DF523058F Mon, 23 Nov 2009 11:31:53 -0600 Sometimes we give up on our dreams too soon. We are not really prepared for them so God doesn’t give them to us yet. Nothing is impossible with God. (Morning Sermon Message by Dale Mannon, 11-8-2009) http://www.greenlawn.org/audio/SermonFiles/Sermon2009-11-08am.mp3 71D3DF3F-FA5A-417A-8901-2D7F7E4D2108 Mon, 23 Nov 2009 11:30:04 -0600 The rich young ruler thought he was a good person. He probably represents most of us. We’re not criminals. We pay our taxes. We do good deeds. We’re not evil. Or are we? See what Paul says. (Evening Sermon Message by Dale Mannon, 11-8-2009) http://www.greenlawn.org/audio/SermonFiles/Sermon2009-11-08pm.mp3 6EE666F7-B1EB-4C62-8511-169B2FE8706D Mon, 23 Nov 2009 11:26:41 -0600 It takes great wisdom to lead a family, to understand their strengths and vulnerabilities.

(Morning Sermon Message by Dale Mannon, 11-1-2009) http://www.greenlawn.org/audio/SermonFiles/Sermon2009-11-01am.mp3 B4F62A04-5092-442D-883E-FA276573CC5C Mon, 23 Nov 2009 11:25:19 -0600 Being an insider seems to give people special privileges. Sometimes privileges can become expectations that are taken for granted. Paul shows that Gentiles and Jews, regardless of privileges, need Christ. (Evening Sermon Message by Dale Mannon, 11-1-2009) http://www.greenlawn.org/audio/SermonFiles/Sermon2009-11-01pm.mp3 7C9DE6E8-EF49-4764-8C7C-1B20AE310D48 Mon, 23 Nov 2009 11:24:00 -0600 Sheep are responsive to their shepherds: following their voice, accepting their care, and living within their protection. Spiritual sheep (church) must be follower their spiritual leaders (shepherds) likewise.

It’s a chance to better understand their role and how we followers are to respond to them. (Evening Sermon Message by Dale Mannon, 10-25-2009) http://www.greenlawn.org/audio/SermonFiles/Sermon2009-10-25pm.mp3 CA9D3E48-5A24-4A02-ABC9-3CD121C82635 Mon, 26 Oct 2009 17:04:35 +0000 As we recognize additional shepherds, we want to look at the character traits the Bible uses to describe men who lead spiritually.

In this section of his letter, Paul describes why the lives of the Gentiles are so dark. (Evening Sermon Message by Dale Mannon, 10-18-2009) http://www.greenlawn.org/audio/SermonFiles/Sermon2009-10-18pm.mp3 ECB4CE27-FA02-46AE-AB25-8E02DB3ABA00 Mon, 19 Oct 2009 15:32:09 +0000 Many homes become battle grounds for who gets his/her way. Submission is not popular in our world today, but it is in the kingdom of God. (Morning Sermon Message by Dale Mannon, 10-11-2009) http://www.greenlawn.org/audio/SermonFiles/Sermon2009-10-11am.mp3 DDCEEADC-3278-40DA-9054-B60C2685A224 Mon, 12 Oct 2009 16:43:33 +0000 Why isn’t everyone rushing to obey the gospel and follow Christ? Perhaps it is because they think it is bad news instead of good news. (Evening Sermon Message by Dale Mannon, 10-11-2009) http://www.greenlawn.org/audio/SermonFiles/Sermon2009-10-11pm.mp3 32B60B15-96CC-439C-B2A9-F2259C383B71 Mon, 12 Oct 2009 16:42:09 +0000 To some wives, following their husbands seems like traveling down a dead-end road, but that’s not God’s plan. The lesson in submissive support is one that will bless homes. (Morning Sermon Message by Dale Mannon, 10-4-2009) http://www.greenlawn.org/audio/SermonFiles/Sermon2009-10-04am.mp3 7748620C-E766-4ADB-84EA-2E9809EB9458 Mon, 5 Oct 2009 16:01:22 +0000 Many people are dying on the inside, rotting like a tree infested by insects because they have not grieved the losses of life. Learning to grieve in an instant feel-good world takes discipline. (Evening Sermon Message by Dale Mannon, 10-4-2009) http://www.greenlawn.org/audio/SermonFiles/Sermon2009-10-04pm.mp3 8FD153ED-F2B0-429D-AC66-C0CD287C922E Mon, 5 Oct 2009 16:00:21 +0000 Husbands have a huge responsibility to their wives when you think of them loving like Christ loves. Abraham didn’t always do well at that, so perhaps we can learn from his mistakes.

As disciples of Jesus, we must discipline our tongues so they can be used for building instead of breaking.

You go back to God’s Word, becoming people of the book.

But we want to do more than not trip them up, we want to learn to build them up.

But when we apply those words to a relationship with “stuff,” our lives end up pretty empty.

Assembling with the saints is one thing; worship is bigger and more encompassing.

In short, they learn that they are reaping what they have been sowing. Are you reaping what you want?

Yet, Jesus said that purity reaches beyond our actions and into our hearts. Disciples of Jesus are to live pure lives.

Confession helps us keep short debts.

In this lesson, we look at why he was vulnerable and learn to shore up our lives from being destroyed by similar vulnerabilities.

But fasting is an important part of grieving, and bringing our flesh under the control of God’s Spirit.

Does God have a different idea than we do? King David was a man after God’s own heart, but he didn’t fully understand reverence. Hopefully we will.

They’ve concluded that without human company, it means they are rejects, or maybe they just dislike their own company. Following Jesus means times of solitude. (Evening Sermon Message by Dale Mannon, 6-21-2009) http://www.greenlawn.org/audio/SermonFiles/Sermon2009-06-21pm.mp3 A986470E-2233-4985-97C5-6591095EE9CF Mon, 22 Jun 2009 21:01:05 +0000 We’ve learned to rely on our five senses very heavily. God created those senses to allow us to understand and interpret our world, but as this lesson reveals, our full reliance must be on God not our senses. (Morning Sermon Message by Dale Mannon, 6-14-2009) http://www.greenlawn.org/audio/SermonFiles/Sermon2009-06-14am.mp3 DDD18FE0-3613-4E71-810E-6BCFFD6859CF Mon, 15 Jun 2009 16:19:59 +0000 We live in a complex world often made more complicated by the choices we make. In this lesson, we will talk about living with simplicity as disciples of Jesus.

(Morning Sermon Message by Dale Mannon, 6-7-2009) http://www.greenlawn.org/audio/SermonFiles/Sermon2009-06-07am.mp3 F782B76A-AF8B-48A6-89C1-2BA3A06F851B Mon, 8 Jun 2009 16:57:24 +0000 While many people look to attain a position where they are served, Jesus calls His People to serve. The discipline of service helps us connect with the heart of Jesus Christ, for he behaved as a servant. (Evening Sermon Message by Dale Mannon, 6-7-2009) http://www.greenlawn.org/audio/SermonFiles/Sermon2009-006-07pm.mp3 489525F5-2DBA-4D12-94F9-3196E2B783B0 Mon, 8 Jun 2009 16:56:30 +0000 Anxiety can overwhelm a life and bring it to a halt. It can lead to depression and paralyzing fears. God wants us to live with the peace and freedom that come from thinking the proper thoughts.

What does it mean to go and sin no more? (Evening Sermon Message by Paul Hodnett, 5-31-2009) http://www.greenlawn.org/audio/SermonFiles/Sermon2009-05-31pm.mp3 9C4D770B-BBDC-4336-9511-73FFF95A3DAB Mon, 1 Jun 2009 20:45:11 +0000 As followers we have learned to love Christ for what he accomplished at the cross, but the relentless evil one is still trying to undermine what Jesus did. We take a look at some of his ways. (Morning Sermon Message by Dale Mannon, 5-24-2009) http://www.greenlawn.org/audio/SermonFiles/Sermon2009-05-24am.mp3 1B883CB7-464E-44A6-83AB-5AF05578F185 Tue, 26 May 2009 17:20:31 +0000 Rugged individualism is not the way of the disciple of Christ. There may be times we feel alone, but Christ calls us to maintain the unity and community we enjoy when we are added to Christ. (Evening Sermon Message by Dale Mannon, 5-24-2009) http://www.greenlawn.org/audio/SermonFiles/Sermon2009-05-24pm.mp3 F638B96F-28FA-4325-9488-F494656DE0A3 Tue, 26 May 2009 17:19:37 +0000 A challenge for all to truly remember God through the various stages of life.

Tonight we look at the spiritual discipline of submission in a pride-filled world.

Hannah understood that her primary role as a mother was to return her child to God.

This is true of our relationship with God. Through prayer we commune with God and experience intimacy with Father.

Rather than striving for perfection, we wallow in the guilt of our failure (or success). Paul says we need to move forward. (Morning Sermon Message by Dale Mannon, 5-3-2009) http://www.greenlawn.org/audio/SermonFiles/Sermon2009-05-03am.mp3 D3A158E0-C637-4B2C-9CFA-7BAD82F8CA9D Wed, 6 May 2009 14:46:59 +0000 Along with prayer, Bible study is perhaps the most fundamental of spiritual disciplines. In this lesson we will explore the purposes, processes, and pitfalls of Bible study. (Evening Sermon Message by Dale Mannon, 5-3-2009) http://www.greenlawn.org/audio/SermonFiles/Sermon2009-05-03pm.mp3 6A5690BE-185F-43D2-9551-4B6053C545A6 Wed, 6 May 2009 14:46:13 +0000 Sometimes people are tempted to “beef up” their resume or embellish their accomplishments in order to impress others. Paul took the opposite approach. It wasn’t his credentials that were great; it was Christ who is great. (Morning Sermon Message by Dale Mannon, 4-26-2009) http://www.greenlawn.org/audio/SermonFiles/Sermon2009-04-26am.mp3 3A4EEF0D-401E-4EA1-9637-2D935DA53F7F Mon, 27 Apr 2009 14:31:42 +0000 Models of selflessness are sometimes hard to come by. But in this passage Paul holds up two men who epitomize the kind of Christ-like attitude and mind that he was trying get the Philippians to have. (Morning Sermon Message by Dale Mannon, 4-19-2009) http://www.greenlawn.org/audio/SermonFiles/Sermon2009-04-19am.mp3 9F7C190C-1C90-4425-A35C-2D621BC7D0F5 Mon, 20 Apr 2009 17:15:50 +0000 To become a disciple, a follower of Jesus, one must incorporate the spiritual disciplines into life.

In this section of his letter, Paul reminds the Philippians who they are so they can live for Him.

He comes to the end of his torment and is vindicated by God. He could have pointed at his friends and said, “I told you so.” He could have refused to pray for them. But he didn’t cling to any bitterness. How do you do that?

They maintain the attitude of Jesus. In this 50th Anniversary Celebration lesson, the attitude of Christ continues to be our aim. (Morning Sermon Message by Dale Mannon, 4-5-2009) http://www.greenlawn.org/audio/SermonFiles/Sermon2009-04-05am.mp3 728D4A0C-6508-4D49-A544-0008CF86BC8B Mon, 6 Apr 2009 20:01:34 +0000 Most people are in no hurry to die, and the only reason some want to leave this life is that they feel their life here is useless. Paul’s love and hope were elsewhere but his life was so useful. He was torn. (Morning Sermon Message by Dale Mannon, 3-29-2009) http://www.greenlawn.org/audio/SermonFiles/Sermon2009-03-29am.mp3 C9BB2A95-238F-43EB-866C-DA72ABD67566 Mon, 30 Mar 2009 21:37:21 +0000 Job’s friends thought they knew God. Job thought he knew God. We probably think we know God. But honestly answering some disturbing questions may give us a more accurate view.

Can He redeem our failures? Can He triumph in our heartaches? Truly God does move in mysterious ways.

Sometimes the distress and confusion in our lives is rooted in mistaken beliefs. Job’s friends had to do some rethinking about what they believed about life, about Job, and about God. (Evening Sermon Message by Dale Mannon, 3-22-2009) http://www.greenlawn.org/audio/SermonFiles/Sermon2009-03-22pm.mp3 459FBF1F-14D8-4AC9-891B-1A10573D9A69 Mon, 30 Mar 2009 20:01:33 +0000 Ministry can be tough, especially when you are Paul and your life is constantly at risk. He needed support and he got it from the Philippian church. It endeared them to Paul. (Morning Sermon Message by Dale Mannon, 3-15-2009) http://www.greenlawn.org/audio/SermonFiles/Sermon2009-03-15am.mp3 D840BE12-34B1-4C11-A557-8919C7AC2BBB Mon, 30 Mar 2009 20:00:28 +0000 After God thoroughly humbles Job, Job closes his mouth and opens his ears. He demonstrates well for us the approach we should take toward God.

Perhaps that explains some of the shallowness instead of richness we feel. This concluding lesson to “The People Jesus Met” series makes it clear that Jesus is something bigger. (Morning Sermon Message by Dale Mannon, 3-8-2009) http://www.greenlawn.org/audio/SermonFiles/Sermon2009-03-08am.mp3 4C606719-B52F-47C4-8092-CB59C328BAD1 Mon, 9 Mar 2009 16:31:20 +0000 God patiently waited in silence before he clarified the truth for Job and his friends. In his speech, God emphasizes His spectacular creative powers.

Does He turn His back? Roll His eyes? Say, “You’ll never amount to anything”? I don’t know if Peter was surprised by Jesus’ reaction or not, but he had to be encouraged. (Morning Sermon Message by Dale Mannon, 3-1-2009) http://www.greenlawn.org/audio/SermonFiles/Sermon2009-03-01am.mp3 ACF98495-8887-417A-A5C5-0751769FC149 Mon, 2 Mar 2009 15:52:29 +0000 How does Jesus treat the doubters? Thomas represents the skeptic among us who needs proof for what he believes. Maybe Jesus is more understanding than many of us are. (Morning Sermon Message by Dale Mannon, 2-22-2009) http://www.greenlawn.org/audio/SermonFiles/Sermon2009-02-22am.mp3 01DAF6FD-9C04-451A-B80D-6C9C1C94D3F1 Mon, 23 Feb 2009 15:02:22 +0000 There are few things as disorienting as the death of your hopes and dreams. Jesus shows two disciples he has something bigger for them than their own hopes and dreams.

We want a fairness that gives us the privileges or some advantage. Perhaps what we really need is mercy.

In this lesson, we will see two men choosing different paths in their desperation.

Job finds the need for a mediator during his suffering.

Herod showed very “piggish” behavior. (Morning Sermon Message by Dale Mannon, 2-1-2009) http://www.greenlawn.org/audio/SermonFiles/Sermon2009-02-01am.mp3 5AFE979E-4071-4C90-ADE4-2E3B05A8A909 Mon, 2 Feb 2009 16:21:10 +0000 If you live long enough you will be misunderstood and even falsely accused. Sometimes even innocent actions are perceived to have evil intent. Through the experiences of Job we will look at how to handle those life moments.

In many instances, they have earned it. When Jesus meets the Roman ruler, Pilate, we see the reason why Pilate was a failure as a leader.

To do so, He often inspires us with great visions of what can be. On this Budget Sunday, we want to dream big.

Job was beginning to wonder if he had anything to hope for. We will see that he did.

Mobs work like that, as we see in the life of Jesus.

In this lesson, we make the case to be good any way.

How about call on two of the greatest men to ever live to give you a pep talk? Jesus continues to experience the wonderful care of Father. (Morning Sermon Message by Dale Mannon, 1-4-2009) http://www.greenlawn.org/audio/SermonFiles/Sermon2009-01-04am.mp3 05DA36A2-8DA6-4106-86DA-F4BF1C9CB28A Tue, 6 Jan 2009 14:26:44 +0000 Most people think themselves wise in their own minds, but there is only one source for true wisdom. With friends telling him one thing and Job believing another, everyone needed to know the truth about wisdom. (Evening Sermon Message by Dale Mannon, 1-4-2009) http://www.greenlawn.org/audio/SermonFiles/Sermon2009-01-04pm.mp3 1CE39B4B-6417-41BA-BAB4-20B76BEA5BE8 Tue, 6 Jan 2009 14:26:42 +0000 Many of us gave up making New Year’s Resolutions long ago because of the disappointment of failure. It is difficult to stick with changes we intend to make. Scripture, however, says that making changes is a part of growing in the Lord.

Jesus helps a young man look at his heart, but he rejects Jesus’ diagnosis. (Morning Sermon Message by Dale Mannon, 12-14-2008) http://www.greenlawn.org/audio/SermonFiles/Sermon2008-12-14am.mp3 C660A4AF-3A84-4801-B122-6D2BCB17D006 Mon, 15 Dec 2008 20:11:51 +0000 There’s always been bad information about how and when God punishes, going all the way back to how the devil deceived Eve in the Garden. We take a look at the truth about what happens to the wicked. (Evening Sermon Message by Dale Mannon, 12-14-2008) http://www.greenlawn.org/audio/SermonFiles/Sermon2008-12-14pm.mp3 54D91723-6957-4D0A-8AFB-E0364F8289E7 Mon, 15 Dec 2008 20:10:59 +0000 It is interesting what people expect from Jesus. In this lesson, we will look at some implied expectations from some of Jesus’ closest friends, and what he expected from them. (Morning Sermon Message by Dale Mannon, 12-07-2008) http://www.greenlawn.org/audio/SermonFiles/Sermon2008-12-07am.mp3 ED2FFEA2-CDC4-469D-8A80-202228F534B9 Mon, 8 Dec 2008 20:43:00 +0000 Trials test our mettle. We learn from Job’s life that triumph is really about enduring, and enduring is only possible when we are patient during those times when life is not as we wish it would be. (Evening Sermon Message by Dale Mannon, 12-7-2008) http://www.greenlawn.org/audio/SermonFiles/Sermon2008-12-07pm.mp3 687D87FE-6087-4CE0-9BD6-1AB333AEE1EB Mon, 8 Dec 2008 20:41:56 +0000 What would you owe someone who freed you from demon-possession? Jesus came to give life, freedom, and the pursuit of holiness. That’s what he does for a woman with a questionable past. (Morning Sermon Message by Dale Mannon, 11-30-2008) http://www.greenlawn.org/audio/SermonFiles/Sermon2008-11-30am.mp3 400EDE67-FF22-4CF5-854A-3408FE8F9D25 Mon, 1 Dec 2008 21:43:19 +0000 It wouldn’t seem that a chance encounter could change a life, but everywhere Jesus went, Jesus changed lives. One of his most unlikely prospects is the tax collector he met in this account. (Morning Sermon Message by Dale Mannon, 11-23-2008) http://www.greenlawn.org/audio/SermonFiles/Sermon2008-11-23am.mp3 743AD641-D59C-4CEA-B3D2-FC9B0745540D Mon, 24 Nov 2008 15:45:06 +0000 In this lesson we look at how to better develop faith in the home and give people a model for doing so. It’s an effort to develop life-long faith. (Evening Sermon Message by Dale Mannon, 11-23-2008) http://www.greenlawn.org/audio/SermonFiles/Sermon2008-11-23pm.mp3 55C91960-AE5C-47FA-B1EB-DF74E4DA00D9 Mon, 24 Nov 2008 15:44:03 +0000 Most people who are religious take their faith seriously. That’s why it is often difficult to change their way of thinking even when they are wrong. That’s what Jesus faced. (Morning Sermon Message by Dale Mannon, 11-16-2008) http://www.greenlawn.org/audio/SermonFiles/Sermon2008-11-16am.mp3 27991103-CBF2-470C-92F1-6CB17F69ADDF Mon, 17 Nov 2008 21:14:07 +0000 When you call out to Heaven, you expect to get an answer. But it doesn’t always seem like you do. Through Job’s eyes, we look at what is going on and what to do when Heaven is silent. (Evening Sermon Message by Dale Mannon, 11-16-2008) http://www.greenlawn.org/audio/SermonFiles/Sermon2008-11-16pm.mp3 4588B415-EF11-4256-BF47-D88D3AE8D7EE Mon, 17 Nov 2008 21:13:10 +0000 Racism and discrimination can be obvious or they can be subtle. Either way they can keep people from God. Jesus knew that, which is why he dealt with this non-Jew in such an uncharacteristic way. (Morning Sermon Message by Dale Mannon, 11-9-2008) http://www.greenlawn.org/audio/SermonFiles/Sermon2008-11-09am.mp3 3D959C52-BA49-4D3A-8F27-1632D0234E19 Mon, 10 Nov 2008 21:28:55 +0000 Ah…peace. It seems evasive even in the best of times, so how can we experience it in the worst of times. It is a secret found only in relationship with God. (Evening Sermon Message by Dale Mannon, 11-9-2008) http://www.greenlawn.org/audio/SermonFiles/Sermon2008-11-09pm.mp3 3AC0D6A7-0CD6-480A-8192-B600EC6F2C77 Mon, 10 Nov 2008 21:25:59 +0000 When spiritually blind men are confronted by the power of God in a way that does not fit their thinking, they have some strange and powerful reactions. That doesn’t keep Jesus from doing what he does. (Morning Sermon Message by Dale Mannon, 11-2-2008) http://www.greenlawn.org/audio/SermonFiles/Sermon2008-11-02am.mp3 7600FDAE-EA7E-4FA8-9D59-2ACD63279959 Mon, 3 Nov 2008 14:02:24 +0000 It can be a helpless feeling to see someone you love suffer. From Job’s experience, we learn some things to do and not to do in helping comfort others. (Evening Sermon Message by Dale Mannon, 11-2-2008) http://www.greenlawn.org/audio/SermonFiles/Sermon2008-11-02pm.mp3 606D56D5-6EAF-4BD9-A6C1-5529DC11EC80 Mon, 3 Nov 2008 14:01:12 +0000 Sexual sins drew as much attention in Jesus’ day as they do today. Despite the trap set for Jesus he helps people see that the need for grace is in every life. (Morning Sermon Message by Dale Mannon, 10-26-2008) http://www.greenlawn.org/audio/SermonFiles/Sermon2008-10-26am.mp3 3F3CB3E1-1316-48A5-8DB8-982BCE3E3E99 Mon, 27 Oct 2008 16:54:50 +0000 When you read Job, it seems hard to call Job’s companions friends. They are more like antagonists. So we want to examine where they failed Job and what they should have done differently. (Evening Sermon Message by Dale Mannon, 10-26-2008) http://www.greenlawn.org/audio/SermonFiles/Sermon2008-10-26pm.mp3 50C2F87C-686B-4C09-A2CC-25E6ACF0CE6F Mon, 27 Oct 2008 16:53:50 +0000 The demon-possessed were pretty helpless people. Even family or friends who wanted to were unable to do so. But with Jesus all things are possible. (Morning Sermon Message by Dale Mannon, 10-19-2008) http://www.greenlawn.org/audio/SermonFiles/Sermon2008-10-19am.mp3 8EC7AD93-FEEC-4004-8D65-6CA825DA75B3 Mon, 20 Oct 2008 15:26:52 +0000 Job got to the point in his misery that he thought death would be a blessing. Was he correct in his conclusion? How does Scripture present death? (Evening Sermon Message by Dale Mannon, 10-19-2008) http://www.greenlawn.org/audio/SermonFiles/Sermon2008-10-19pm.mp3 D8631F9C-6599-42D4-AC14-B43B52EB6F0E Mon, 20 Oct 2008 15:25:40 +0000 Some of the most vulnerable people in the world are widows. In this lesson, we see Jesus’ particular sensitivity to the plight of a widow, and how we can respond in kind. (Morning Sermon Message by Dale Mannon, 10-12-2008) http://www.greenlawn.org/audio/SermonFiles/Sermon2008-10-12am.mp3 9946EC46-62A3-4173-B234-5A09ADDDDED6 Mon, 13 Oct 2008 16:11:25 +0000 Blame is not typically very useful, but accepting proper responsibility is. In this lesson from Job we will sort through the confusion that comes from Job’s friends to assign proper responsibility. (Evening Sermon Message by Dale Mannon, 10-12-2008) http://www.greenlawn.org/audio/SermonFiles/Sermon2008-10-12pm.mp3 392DCCE0-0854-4F46-9ABC-9BB5D373574E Mon, 13 Oct 2008 16:10:28 +0000 Evangelism intimidates most people. Thoughts of knocking-doors, filmstrips, and high-pressures “sales” confuse our thinking. Jesus gives a simple approach to blessing people, no matter who they are, with good news. (Morning Sermon Message by Dale Mannon, 10-5-2008) http://www.greenlawn.org/audio/SermonFiles/Sermon2008-10-05am.mp3 95BA1DCB-E16A-4D13-B7AD-84098907CD1E Mon, 6 Oct 2008 15:01:26 +0000 It is only during tests of faith that real faith is revealed and grows. As we look at Job’s example, we will see what living by faith is all about. (Evening Sermon Message by Dale Mannon, 10-5-2008) http://www.greenlawn.org/audio/SermonFiles/Sermon2008-10-05pm.mp3 6B11390F-EFBB-4435-8B52-343991E814A3 Mon, 6 Oct 2008 15:00:17 +0000 You might think that a member of religious establishment would understand Jesus and welcome him with open arms. Not so. When Jesus meets Nicodemus he enlightens a man who was actually living in darkness. (Morning Sermon Message by Dale Mannon, 9-28-2008) http://www.greenlawn.org/audio/SermonFiles/Sermon2008-09-28am.mp3 947A5F6A-D564-4A36-BCD3-696B648006A0 Mon, 29 Sep 2008 16:11:41 +0000 There really is no way to fully prepare for an unexpected tragedy or crisis. What enables us to endure is not our own resources, but our faith in God.

They tired of their control and longed for the day when One sent from God would run them out of the country. But Jesus was drawn to one of the Roman strongmen, and after looking we understand why. (Morning Sermon Message by Dale Mannon, 9-21-2008) http://www.greenlawn.org/audio/SermonFiles/Sermon2008-09-21am.mp3 4B4EDEDF-2E53-4525-8470-9D54DD2CB546 Mon, 22 Sep 2008 16:07:33 +0000 Jesus was impressive so everyone was intrigued by him. But there is a difference between being curious and being a convert. That explains why Jesus dealt with the crowds as he did.

Job thought it was about lost livestock, dead children, and ill health, but there was a cosmic, spiritual battle was raging in Job’s life. In this lesson, we hope to pull back the curtain to better understand it. (Evening Sermon Message by Dale Mannon, 9-14-2008) http://www.greenlawn.org/audio/SermonFiles/Sermon2008-09-14pm.mp3 F13985B2-8FC7-473A-9EEA-2C87DC20123C Sun, 14 Sep 2008 16:52:53 +0000 When it comes to developing a team to win the world, it would seem that Jesus didn’t make very good choices. In this lesson, we will look at what Jesus saw that others may not have seen.

In this introductory lesson we will set the stage for the series that addresses many of the perplexing questions humans continue to have.

It shows up particularly in places like meals, driving, and sadly in our family relationships. The answer for our busyness is stillness with God.

In this encounter with the devil Jesus reveals how to face the evil one. It’s great encouragement as Jesus exposes the tactics of our enemy.
