    From the model of Job, we discover some principles about "getting through" the difficulties of life. (Warren Wiersbe contributes much to this message)

     | 2,700 views

    We all go through difficulties, but do we depend on God for strength, comfort, and peace through our difficulties? Is He for us the "Father of compassion" and the "God of all comfort"?

    The God of All Comfort God comforts us in our trouble so that we can bring the love of God and comfort others. 1 Corinthians 1:3-4 Illustration A very common story, that I'm sure just about every person in this room can understand...

    The Jailer

    The jailer’s decision was not any easy one. But despite the difficulties that lay ahead, he realized that the God who would bring him to those difficulties would also bring him through them.

    Jobs were hard to come by. He was a grown man, with a wife and children to provide for. He had been an OK farmer when they lived in the country — even managed to put away a little money for them to live on after the move to the big city. But he had no marketable skills to speak of. He wasn’t ...read more

    based on 4 ratings
     | 6,868 views

    In beginning an interim pulpit ministry, God directed my attention to Abram/Abraham as a paradigm of faith. Some will object to the almost typological approach to these texts.

    Famine in the Promised Land Text: Genesis 12:1-20 Today, may or may not be the beginning of a journey together. But whether God allows me to stay with you over a long period of time or whether today is merely a temporary lesson for an eternal purpose, God has placed this message on my heart. Today, ...read more
