     | 46,869 views

    This sermon stresses the benefits of thanksgiving in our day to day lives and unveils what the bible has to say about seeing our troubles from the proper perspective.

    I hope you all had a nice Thanksgiving… It has always been so strange to me how Thanksgiving has changed since its original conception—even from when I was a kid. For instance, how ironic is it that the very day after Thanksgiving just happens to be the biggest shopping day of the year! Think about ...read more

    "There He Stands" Micah 5:2-6 Where is God when disasters such as 9-11 and Hurricane Katriana strike? Many people seem to think He is either totally absent or just indifferent and uncaring. But that is just not true! Today we look at a passage of Scripture that came to God’s people at a time when ...read more

    Storms of various kinds come our way in life, some threatening to overwhelm us or capsize our boat, but Jesus wants us to know that he is there and we can trust in in the midst of the storm.

    GOD’S CALM From the beginning, the primordial waters and sea were given great respect. The earth was at one point covered with waters, according to genesis and scientists. God tamed the chaos of the sea somewhat when land was created. God made a boundary for the seas with the land. Still, the seas ...read more

    All suffering that a believer endures in the path of obedience is suffering for Christ and with Christ.

    INTRODUCTION Main emphasis: We should see all the hardship and suffering that comes to us in life as something that God brings to us to do us good, strengthening our trust in him and our obedience, and ultimately increasing our ability to glorify him. It seems to me that the suffering which God ...read more

     | 22,228 views

    In the midst of her pain and despair, God intervened for Hagar. In her experience she got a personal revelation of God as the One who Sees. This is a good reminder for anyone who feels abandoned and forgotten by God.

    The God Who Sees Gen. 16 4-26-09 Intro As some of you know, I conduct mediations for people who are in conflict. Wherever you find people you find conflict. Have you noticed that? Some of the mediations I conduct are for family conflict. It’s amazing the messes people get themselves into. ...read more

    based on 6 ratings
     | 14,412 views

    God asks the Hebrews for a blind commitment upfront, before He gives the Ten Commandments. God does this without apology. God does this with us as well, a commitment before we know the future.

    It is 3:00 in the morning and we are waiting with other pilgrims on the back side of Saint Catherine’s Monastery at the base of mount Sinai. It is a moonless night - pitch black beyond the small light we huddle around. I wonder if I dressed warm enough, I am surprised it can be so cold in the ...read more
