    Contributed by Andrew Dixon on May 16, 2022
    based on 1 rating
     | 1,936 views

    Just like Jehoshaphat, one of the first emotions that grip us in the midst of any sort of crisis is fear. If you are being challenged with those huge problems that seem to overwhelm you and are wondering as to how you will overcome them, I pray that this word from the Lord will encourage you.

    We read in Psalm 91:16, “With long life will I satisfy him, and make Him to behold My salvation.” (JPS) The last three verses in Psalm 91 are the very words of God. Our God is one who speaks to us. God promises that the one who trusts Him totally, will be completely satisfied in this life and God ...read more

    Problems come. It's part of life. What are some general principles we need to follow when they do? We look at one of the greatest problems / difficulties / challenges in the history of God's people - the destruction of Jerusalem at the hands of the Babylonians and the exile - for lessons.

    Everyone faces problems from time to time. Churches also face problems. For example, a church might unexpectedly lose its pastor and some other key members of its leadership at around the same time. If that happened, how would you view it? Perhaps some of you would say that it’s a CHALLENGE, ...read more

    As we reflect on the gift of time, today's message challenges us to "wind the clock" by aligning our hearts with God's eternal purpose—living each moment with faith, perseverance, and an awareness that our time is best redeemed in obedience to Him.

    Wind the Clock Online Sermon: http://www.mckeesfamily.com/sermons/ Time is a gift that each of us experiences differently.

    No matter what we're going through, we can have peace knowing that Jesus is with us. We can trust that he will never leave us or forsake us. And with Jesus by our side, we can face any fear or challenge that comes our way.

    Do you remember the story of Joshua? Dude was chosen to lead a whole nation into a new land. No pressure, right? But God was like, 'Hey, I've got your back.

    The Power of Partnership is an exploration of Ecclesiastes 4:9-12. It highlights four reasons why partnership is powerful: (1) Partnership enhances productivity; (2) Partnership provides support during challenging times; (3) Partnership offers warmth and comfort; (4) Partnership strengthens one's defense.

    The book of Ecclesiastes serves as a somber follow-up to the book of Proverbs. While Proverbs imparts wisdom for godly living, Ecclesiastes laments the author's failure to heed his own advice.

    The world may not see the fruits of our faith because we, like Moses, are hiding and making excuses instead of taking action. God often asks us to undertake challenging tasks. Will we trust Him? Do we respond with faith or excuses when God calls?

    Last week, we heard a powerful message about faith and works. The pastor challenged us with the question, "Where's your fruit, Church?" Today, we will delve deeper into this question by examining Moses' response to God's call in Exodus chapter 3. Are there things holding us back from being as ...read more
