    People who are going through difficult times are often told by others not to worry because, “God won’t give you more than you can handle.” The words are said with the best of intentions but unfortunately no such promise exists in the Bible.

    Throughout scripture we find ourselves many Godly people ending up living in Caves. What are these "cave experiences". This sermon shows the "blessings" found in caves!

    CLIMBING OUT OF YOUR CAVE Psalm 61:1-2 Hear my cry, O God; Attend to my prayer. 2From the end of the earth I will cry to You, When my heart is overwhelmed; Lead me to the rock that is higher than I.

    God uses trials to strengthen us.

    Father God we pray to you, our one and only God. We worship your Holy name. We pray a mercy seat in the middle of the sanctuary, so that you may join us with your presence, and hear our praise. We ask for your cleansing, and a desire to hide your Word in our hearts. Father God, we ask that you take ...read more

    The Weather Forecast.

     | 7,501 views

    As I was watching the weather warnings run across the TV screen I began to think about how we go through life's storms without any warnings. Each one of the storms we go through are painted a different color of severity, Green, Yellow, Orange

    The Weather Forecast. Psalm 34:17 The righteous cry, and the LORD heareth, and delivereth them out of all their troubles. 18 The LORD is nigh unto them that are of a broken heart; and saveth such as be of a contrite spirit. 19 Many are the afflictions of the righteous: but the LORD delivereth him ...read more

     | 6,777 views

    This sermon is a contrast between God's goals for the believer and the church and Satan's goals for individuals. God wants to make us like Christ, Satan wants to slowly destroy us.

    The Two Goals of the Church: 1) Reach people for Christ. 2) Grow people in Christ. Biblical basis: Matthew 28:18-20 (called the Great Commission) God's goal for You: To work in all things for our good in order to conform us to the image of his Son, Jesus Christ, Biblical basis: Romans ...read more

    I know you have a Scripture in mind that you believe actually states that "God won't give you more than you can handle", but that is not what the Bible says.

    Last week we began a series entitled: “THE BIBLE DOESN’T SAY THAT”, looking at some popular sayings that many BELIEVE are found in the Bible, but are not. 1. The first one we studied last week was: “God wants me to be happy.” (If you missed that lesson, you can listen to it in the ...read more

    Henry Ward Beecher wrote, “Difficulties are God’s errands and when we are sent upon them, we should esteem it a proof of God’s confidence.”

    GOD’S ERRANDS Who runs most of the errands at your house? Who is the one most likely to take that “short journey” to deliver something or pick up something? It seems as if a number of the errands one might run are often for someone else. We can spend more than half of our free time out running ...read more

    Expect The Unexpected

    Contributed by Paul Robinson on Sep 27, 2022
     | 4,395 views

    Life is full of unexpected moments—it would be boring without them. But what happens when that unexpected moment is huge? It affects you personally, and it’s something that seems unbearable. It causes you to doubt. That’s what we find in Luke 7 with John the Baptist.

    Has something unexpected ever happened to you? —you find a 20 dollar bill in between the cushions on your couch —you bump into someone at the store that you haven’t seen in 5 years —the forecast says it’ll be sunny, but it pours —the dog decides to bring you a gift from the outside world, ...read more

    Forging Our Faith

     | 415 views

    "Forging our Faith" involves the ways in which trials, demands, delays, and daily dependence on God shape and reinforce our reliance on His promises and power. Faith is not developed in a vacuum but in the context of real-world challenges ...

    Seeking God In Your Situation

    Contributed by Bishop Prof. Julius Soyinka on Aug 18, 2024
     | 3,150 views

    Many people who claimed to know God and connected to Him, cannot actually trust Him to intervene in their situation when things get bad. It is a great strength for a believer to be able to trust God alone in difficult situations.

    Seeking God in your Situation Study Text: 2 Kings 1: 1 - 4 Introduction: Ahaziah was in a difficult situation, but rather than seeking God for solution, he secretly sends to consult the god of Eckron. Worries and fears of the unknown weakens his trust in God, and went outside the will of God to ...read more
