Are Angels Really Among Us And If So What Do They Do? Series

Contributed by James Lee on Nov 27, 2013

Our Bible study group got sidetracked on the subject of "angels" I adapted this message to give them a glimpse into whether or not they exist and if so what do they do? Thank you Brian Atwood for such a wonderful message.

The word angel means, "messenger," but although they deliver God’s message, their activity, most often, goes unseen by the human eye. In the NIV they are mentioned in 33 of the 66 books of the Bible. Even though they mostly operate in the spiritual realm on occasion God sent angels to ...read more

When Evil Touches Us , Is It From God ?

Contributed by David Leach on Jan 29, 2014

When evil touches my life is it indirectly from God or can there be another or second cause that has nothing to do with God?

When evil touches my life is it indirectly from God or can there be another or second cause that has nothing to do with God? This is an age old question.

Why Doesn't God Prevent Evil? Series

Contributed by Paul Barreca on Jul 12, 2013

How can a good God allow human suffering to continue? The story of Joseph provides a powerful illustration that suffering has a purpose, even when we can't see it at the present time.

God Vs Satan - The War In Your Home Series

Contributed by Daren Mitchell on Jul 18, 2013

We can judge what we see, and we typically do, but, God tells us that it's the heart of a person that matters to Him. This is why it's important for Jesus followers to live as examples of what it looks like to use the spiritual resources that God gives.

Paul teaches us that there is a spiritual war that rages for the souls of people who walk the earth. Satan is a con artist. He's the best. The reason people refuse to deny themselves to follow Jesus is because satan deceives them into thinking they don't have to. God and satan are enemies, and ...read more

I’ve Grown Accustomed To His Grace Series

Contributed by Michael Blitz on Jul 19, 2013
