    Christians: God is for us, not against us!

    1. So is God for us or against us? Hmmm. 2. I know the answer in good times comes real easily, but in other times… we might just think God is against us somehow. NOTE: Some people read v31 and walk away thinking, “Well, God is for me in this situation. He’s not for me this time.” But what does ...read more

    Contributed by Michael Stark on Dec 3, 2011
     | 4,763 views

    We would announce the birth of the Christ to the rich and famous. But God chose to announce His birth to people working in the most humble occupation imaginable. Why?

    The first message as the full-time speaker at a church where I had previously been filling in, preached the first Sunday after a move. Autobiographical, allegorical, and life-applicable.

    Hebrews 12:1-3 – Baggage Let me tell you something right from the start: we hate moving. I know we only moved less than 10 minutes away, but that didn’t make things radically different from moving away. Sure, we used several pick-up trucks instead of a U-Haul, and we made several ...read more

    based on 4 ratings
     | 17,399 views

    Women, contrary to popular belief, hold a place of high regard with God. This is evidenced by the way God, Jesus, and even the "male chauvanist," Paul treats them.

    1. Part of a daily Jewish Prayer (by men): "Blessed are you, LORD our God, King of the Universe, for not having made me a Gentile."

    In Noah's day, God destroyed the earth with a flood. In the last day, God will destroy the earth with a fire.

    Last week we addressed the wickedness in the days up to Noah. Why weren’t there more people on the ark? I believe because the peoples’ hearts had become hard and didn’t believe the warnings of the coming destruction. Last week we looked at the progression down the path of ...read more
