    A revival message on personal renewal. Revival begins when we rest in God’s sufficiency and are content with His faithful provision.

    Part 1 — The Restless Heart Introduction: The Noise Beneath the Silence There are moments when the heart feels like a crowded marketplace. Voices everywhere — Do more. Be more. Get more.

    When The Mantle Must Rest PRO Sermon

    The sermon encourages embracing God’s timing, resting from roles when needed, prioritizing presence and relationships, and trusting prayer to shape our lives and seasons.

    There’s a rhythm stitched into the world by the hand of God. The tide rolls in and slips out. Winter gives way to spring. Babies cry, grandparents smile, and somewhere in between we learn how to hold on and how to let go. Seasons change. And if we’re honest, our souls feel it—the gentle tug that ...read more

     | 2,019 views

    The Christian faith, after all, is deeply personal. When we abide in Christ, we rest in God.

    OUR REST ONLY IN GOD. Psalm 84:1-4. At the end of the celebration of Passover, in Jewish homes scattered throughout the world, the parting toast is, ‘Next year in Jerusalem!’ The sentiment echoes a common consciousness, a restlessness if you will, which is forever drawing God’s people back ...read more

    Does God Ordain/Allow Evil And Suffering?

    Within the church, there is a belief that everything is under the direct sovereign control of God, therefore He ordains what satan and his minions do.

    It is also believed that when people get sick or suffer horrible tragedies, it is the will of God because He "allowed/ordained" it. God is the Holy and transcendent one. He is sovereign, omniscient, omnipotent, omnipresent and omnibenevolent. He knows all things past, present, and ...read more

    The question why does God allow suffering and evil is one of the most significant questions of this or any other time.

    Why does God allow suffering and evil? Why are babies born blind? Why is a promising life snuffed out as it is on the rise? Why are there wars in which thousands of innocent people are killed, children are burned beyond recognition and many are maimed for life?. There may be times when you find ...read more

    What the Bible teaches about God, evil and suffering and how we should respond to suffering based on those truths.

    ENGAGE If you could ask God one question and know that you would receive an answer, what would you ask?” Several years ago, Christian pollster George Barna posed that question in one of his surveys and the number one response by far was the question that we’re going to deal with this morning: How ...read more

    Ruth has given up everything from her pagan past and has cast herself completely on the God of Israel. She is truly, in the words of verse 11, a “woman of noble character.”

    “Pain is inevitable; misery is optional.” We learn from the Book of Ruth how to overcome bitterness and emptiness through a steadfast faith. Ruth chose a pathway that changed her life and the course of history. We’re not sure how much time has transpired between chapters 2 & ...read more
