    Sometimes we are so busy we simply do not find the time to slow down, pause, or stop long enough to rest and listen to God. Yet, since time began, God has offered us all the opportunity to rest.

    We continue in our series on Hope Found Here and this month we are thinking about ‘Hope in the calming presence of God’ or to put it another way, knowing how to rest and relax in God. The question I want to address this evening is "Do we understand what it means to rest in God?" We live in a fast ...read more

    Paul wrote to Timothy, "I know whom I have believed, and am convinced that he is able to guard what I have entrusted to him until that day." There is a great difference between knowing about God, and knowing God. Paul knew the one to whom he trusted all.

They are not redundant, and may be used separately or presented on consecutive occasions. Note 2: I have developed some PowerPoint slides that I used in presenting this sermon. If ...read more

    The human race lost its way in the garden of Eden, and for thousands of years a return to the garden was prevented by the flaming sword. But at the proper time, Jesus knocked down the barrier of sin and made a way to return to the state of blessedness.
