    This messages discusses how we have allowed ourselves to become helpless when it comes to dealing with our life situations. We choose not to take the time to study God's word so we are not equipped to really handle things His way.

    Learned Helplessness Scriptures: 2 Timothy 2:15; 1 Corinthians 3:12-13 Introduction: The title of my message this morning is “Learned Helplessness.” The theory of learned helplessness, in psychology, was conceptualized and developed by American psychologist, Martin E.P. Seligman, ...read more

    Jesus: How To Be A Follower In Times Of Despair Series

    based on 79 ratings
     | 6,328 views

    Fourth in the series "Meet the Cast." As you study Jesus’ life you realize that even though He did not lay aside his deity, He did humble himself as a man, to serve all humanity. So Jesus understands what we are facing in our lives.

    I love the way “The Passion of The Christ” movie begins, with the reminder that 400 years before Jesus was born his sacrifice was foretold in a vivid way. Isaiah 53:5 (LB) But he was wounded and bruised for our sins. He was beaten that we might have peace; he was lashed--and we were healed! ...read more

    Attempts to reveal all the activities that cause unholiness and shows how holy-living can be enforced in one’s life when it seems difficult to remain holy.

    Sexual immorality will easily come to mind as an agent of defilement of a holy life; furthermore, a person who has indulged in making the body unclean has also grieved the Holy Spirit and is about crucifying Jesus a second time! (Ephesians 4:30, Hebrews 6:6). We have been taught in the scripture ...read more

    Worry is a natural part of our lives. We all do it. But what does the Bible say about worrying? It is time to put our worries into God’s 401(k) account.

    401(K)ingdom Matthew 6:31-34 Therefore do not be anxious, saying, “What shall we eat?” or “what shall we drink?” or “what shall we wear?” For the Gentiles seek after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them all.
