Trusting Or Fleeing Series

Contributed by Joseph Marshall on Oct 9, 2022

This Psalm is thought to have been written during the times when David was in the courts of Saul and he was being tempted to flee; and not trust in God but to believe that his safety was only dependent upon his actions.

I. FACING THE TEMPTATION TO FLEE A. People may be used to advise us wrongly (v. 1-3). 1. They were undermining David’s confidence in the Lord. 2.

It Is Well With My Soul Series

Contributed by Jeff Strite on Nov 8, 2020

Among all the conquering heroes of Hebrews 11, God introduces us to those who suffered, struggled and died for their faith. Why would God tell us the stories of those who didn't "succeed"?

OPEN: I love a good action movie - the kind they used to make. Movies where good overcomes evil; the boy gets the girl; righteousness triumphs and the hero rides off into the sunset. Those are “feel good” movies because everything works out the way it should. One website talked about the movies ...read more

Where Is Your Center?

Contributed by Alison Bucklin on Oct 18, 2000

When I told friends and acquaintances in Minnesota that I was moving to New Jersey, one of the commonest responses was, "How close will you be to Atlantic City?" This seemed to me to be an odd reaction, it certainly isn't something I'm particularly attuned to.

Revival And The 'normal Christian Life'

Contributed by Ewen Huffman on Mar 19, 2004

If God were to offer you a blank cheque/(check)- what would you write on it? Revival? What should we be expecting for and asking God for? (written after a ’word’ was given to our city that was almost like a ’blank cheque’ from God.)

The faith of the people builds day after day and God through the faith of his people God brings the wall down. They thought they were just walking around the city,that they were just being useless, – but God was using that time to build up their faith.

Our tour bus arrived in the downtown square, we all piled out as tourists do, things seemed a little tense with the locals, they gave us the eye and went back to their business.
