    Who's In Control Series

    Contributed by Tom Fuller on Oct 25, 2009
    based on 1 rating
     | 6,520 views

    We as humans have a hard time giving up control of anything, but in order to find the abundant life Jesus offers, we must cede authority of our lives to Him, even if that means going into choppy waters.

    We began last time by looking at Jesus as He came down from giving the Sermon on the Mount. He begins to demonstrate that it isn’t all talk—that He really is the coming King and controls His creation, both the visible and invisible. We see Him first approached by two people who really have no ...read more

    ...Joel chapter two: The threshing floors shall be filled with grain; the vats shall overflow with new wine and oil.

Perhaps the reason for this is that the Lord has so many things He is trying to set ...read more
