    The Surprising Results Of Fear And Faith

    based on 4 ratings
     | 2,665 views

    We have gotten used to fear as a part of our daily lives. But it is a monster, ready and willing to destroy our effectiveness as believers, and steal our joy. Let’s see what Paul has to say about it in the context of this familiar passage about prayer.

    How many of you have memorized that passage, at some point maybe even have quoted it? Good. You know what they say about familiarity though, don’t you? Familiarity can breed a lot of contempt and this particular passage is a familiar one. You’ve heard it many times. And sometimes the ...read more

    The church in Thyatira demonstrates the need to follow the ways of Jesus in order to prevent being deceived.

But Jesus’ message to the church in Thyatira ...read more

    Are you looking for life in all the wrong places? Everybody is living for something or somebody. Paul said, “For me to live is Christ, and to die is gain.” As we get closer to death in this human flesh it seems we tend to talk about death in terms of loss

    Choosing to not seek God is still an active choice. There is no sense of spiritual neutrality.

    Intro – This morning I believe God wants us to engage our myth of neutrality. Now there are some things in life that may allow for some level of neutrality…. issues that make no claims upon our lives or the lives of anyone else.
