     | 12,449 views

    This sermon embraces the uncomfortable ideas of wrestling with God, God self-limitation in the struggle, and change that occurs.

    Genesis 32:22-32 Our Bible story needs a little prefacing this evening. Its kind of like the original Star Wars Triliogy - we’re coming in to the story at Episode VI. In recent days we’ve been taking a look at some Old Testament characters, and tonight we turn our attention towards Jacob - the ...read more

    Permission From God

    To remember, pride is trusting your own strength, your own righteousness, and your own wisdom. Pride is a trap that even the strong, the righteous, and the wise may fall into many times.

    Permission from God Today's message is permission from God. We will meditate on three important scripture passages from Luke, Job, & 1 Kings. Shall we ask ourselves: Do we ever believe that God gives permission to Satan to come against us or to take us into bondage? We are also going to ...read more

    Life isn't fair. Life isn't just. How can I avoid being defeated by the truth that "in this world I will experience trouble?"

    OPEN: Tom had never gone deep-sea fishing before, and once he was out at sea he began to think it was the stupidest thing he'd ever done in his life. Who would ever have believed that seasickness could be this awful? With every pitch and roll, Tom wondered how he was going to survive the remaining ...read more

    Waiting is a difficult thing for us to do. Much of our lives is spent waiting in lines, on hold, in traffic, at the doctor's office. Do you ever wonder why God makes us wait? We'll take a look at a David's life and see what he learned from waiting on God.

    Title: Waiting on God Text: 2 Samuel/Psalm 27:14 Intro I’m so excited to be here with you this morning! We are starting a new series called In the Meantime. If you need a Bible raise your hand and one of our ushers will get you one. In this series we are going to be looking at several different ...read more

    Spiritual Warfare Series

     | 537 views

    Satan is real, not a metaphor. But he is not an independent force for evil; he is a created being, and therefore under God's sovereign control. Here is what Peter tells us about how to defeat him.

    We live in a rationalistic age. We live at a time when a purely materialistic view of the world is the one commonly accepted, a time when talk of the supernatural is dismissed as nothing more than fables and legends, myths and superstitions; the archaic remnants of a medieval world view. Our ...read more

    The God Of The Suffering Series

     | 6,074 views

    In what ways does God use suffering in the life of a Christian? Maybe this lesson can help you think about how God may work when you are suffering.

    I would like to follow up on the last sermon that I preached on the problem of evil and where I attempted to show why the unbeliever should not be using the idea of evil as an excuse to reject God. In spite of what the unbeliever may think about God or try to accuse Him of, God has a morally ...read more

    How Job’s desire for intimacy with God remained even in times of suffering.

    INTIMACY WITH GOD I read recently in a book the following: ‘Look at any Sunday morning congregation and what do you see? Tired women and bored men.’ There is, I believe, some truth in both of those descriptions. It is all too easy to become exhausted in the Christian life. The comment ‘my ...read more

    A lot of Christians are “Longing For That Water” they used to drink, but are not willing to let Jesus be in control of their whole life. It is time to give all of ourselves over to God not just part.

    Longing For That Water Part 2 Psalm 107:1-9 1 O give thanks unto the LORD, for he is good: for his mercy endureth for ever. 2 Let the redeemed of the LORD say so, whom he hath redeemed from the hand of the enemy, 3 And gathered them out of the lands, from the east, and from the west, from the ...read more
