    Even mighty prophets face dark valleys. Today, we discover how God meets us in our caves, whispers through our storms, and transforms our deepest struggles into divine purpose.

    The Cave, The Call, The Commission Introduction In the pages of Scripture, few narratives capture the raw humanity of faith more vividly than the story of Elijah in 1 Kings 19. Here we encounter one of God's most powerful prophets not in a moment of triumph, but in the depths of despair. Just ...read more

    The mission of God is to search for those who are spiritually lost or living under a false theology. God sought out Adam and Eve, invited the children of Israel to join him in his mission and so does Jesus. Jesus confronts the Pharisees with parables re

    In Jesus Holy Name September 16, 2007 Text: Luke 15:1-6 Redeemer Lutheran “The Heart of God Seeks the Lost” Scores of tiny figures moving up and down the rubble, back and forth.

    God is not safe nor tame, but He’s good and you can trust Him with your life.

    It’s the Christmas season. Now is the time we like to think about the manger scene, the baby, “gentle Jesus, meek and mild”. Today, however, I want to project you 30 years after that 1st Christmas, to Jesus the fiery preacher. He’s warmed up today… (Read Luke 12:1-7) I don’t usually put much ...read more

    Right Where God Wants Me To Be

    Contributed by Paul Davidson on Feb 7, 2020
     | 19,973 views

    As we follow where God leads us, we encounter trials and struggles, but that's part of the plan! God uses those trials to shape and mold us into the people He desires for us to become… but most importantly, so His glory can be revealed to the world!

    For the message this morning, we’re going to go back to the book of Exodus... and we’re going to look at a real historical event that will be very familiar to most of you… The crossing of the Red Sea. Since this story IS very familiar to us already, we must be careful not to just read through it ...read more

    Like Sarai we often come up with plans to help God out which unfortunately usually end in disaster.

    Genesis 16 April 27, 2003 It was one of those rare moments in a thirteen-year-Olds life. For once I was thinking of someone other than myself.

     | 2,357 views

    The truth about the Father’s heart is that He wants you to come to Him and get to know Him as He truly is: Lover, Forgiver, Restorer, Hero and Eternal King

    The Truth About the Father’s Heart Intro.: Man’s great misconception is found in Psalm 50:21, “You thought I was altogether like you…” Isaiah 55:9 is much more accurate, “But as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are My ways higher than your ways, and My thoughts than your thoughts.” God ...read more

    God is with us always.

    It doesn’t take long for us to learn of God’s desire of the first couple in the Bible. In the first chapter of Genesis, v. 27, the text tells us that God created "male and female."

    Mephibosheth: A Picture Of God's Divine Grace And Undeserved Favor Series

    Contributed by Jeremiah Menyongai on Sep 5, 2016
    based on 3 ratings
     | 36,345 views

    Grace is a dirty word for the devil. It's the power behind the gospel - not creed, religion, philosophy. Grace is God reaching somebody like me - God's favor that is unearned, undeserved, unrepayable. We see it in David's encounter with Mephibosheth.

    DAVID SERIES: A MAN AFTER GOD'S OWN HEART - PART 14: MEPHIBOSHETH - A PERFECT PICTURE OF GOD'S GRACE 2 SAMUEL 9: 1 Now David said, ¡§Is there still anyone who is left of the house of Saul, that I may show him kindness for Jonathan¡¦s sake?¡¨ 2 And there was a servant of the house of Saul whose name ...read more
