    Without this virtue of self control you will self destruct!

    Self Control 2 Peter 1:5-8 amplified Faith is to a Christian what gasoline is to a car. Gasoline is necessary to run engine. That’s not all you need; air supply, vacuum hoses draw air, oil, or won’t go very far. The Christian faith too must have some other additives or you won’t make much ...read more

    God always answers our prayers. God allows no evil to occur that some good will not come from.

    God is in Control – You and I need to believe and have complete faith in this fact. We need to make it an important part of our own personal understanding in order to get the greatest insight into the meaning of our lives and the world around us. In today’s Gospel we hear that the Pharisees and ...read more

    The text concerns David’s desire to build a temple "house" for God, and God’s response that God will build David’s house. We often try to control God, but God is in control, not us.

    Who’s in control? David has come a long way from being a shepherd boy in Bethlehem and the youngest of 8 sons to being the king of Israel, who reunited the northern and southern Kingdoms, established the capital at Jerusalem, and moved the ark of the covenant into the city. He ...read more

    A correction of a much misquoted verse: our hope is built on God, not fatalism.

    GOD IS IN CONTROL ROMANS 8:28 A man’s wife dies, leaving him with three little children to care for. Although he is nor bitter, he is lonely and confused. Perhaps some of his friends try to comfort him by saying, "You know, it all works out for the best." Try as he might, he cannot bring ...read more

    Though in captivity Daniel’s story is a clarion call to us to THRIVE in the challenges of our cultural setting, and in so doing draw attention to our sovereign God.

    Daniel is an inspiring book that brings both a challenge and hope to all those who recognize that we are living in an environment that is alien to the lives we have been called to. This was Daniel’s experience. The book records the experiences of 4 Hebrew men taken into captivity by an evil ...read more

    Self Control Series

    The struggle for self-control goes on entirely inside an individual, but the results of self-control, or lack of it, show up entirely on the outside of a person.

    “But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control. Against such things there is no law.” (Galatians 5:22-23) It’s probably fitting that “self-control” is the last fruit of the Spirit in our nine week study. It may be the most ...read more

    Sometimes it seems like we’re on a run away rollercoaster, in times like these we need to be reminded that (God is still in Control).

    I want to start this message by prophesying to somebody: God is in control, it doesn’t matter what is happening in the economy, and it doesn’t matter what is happening on a political level, or whose in the white house. It doesn’t matter what they do to social security, healthcare, or anything ...read more

    We as humans have a hard time giving up control of anything, but in order to find the abundant life Jesus offers, we must cede authority of our lives to Him, even if that means going into choppy waters.

    We began last time by looking at Jesus as He came down from giving the Sermon on the Mount. He begins to demonstrate that it isn’t all talk—that He really is the coming King and controls His creation, both the visible and invisible. We see Him first approached by two people who really have no ...read more
