God's Rx For Discouragement

Contributed by Rodney Buchanan on Jan 1, 2001

Discouragement comes when we focus on the problem rather than God, on the wonders of God rather than the Word of God, on our inadequacies rather than God’s resources.

We find ourselves at an interesting time of history. Perhaps, more than any other time, we find ourselves polarized as a people. During the world wars the country seemed to come together in patriotic unity, but with the absence of war, and the influx of prosperity, we seemed to have lost ...read more

The Still Small Voice

Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Feb 26, 2022

This message looks at a situation in the life of Elijah in which he felt all alone. This account teaches us that God is with us, and He has our best interests in mind at all times, even though we may not immediately hear from Him.

This morning we are going to learn about hearing God during the midst of life’s difficult circumstances. How many of you have ever been through a difficult time in which you felt like God had abandoned you, or perhaps that He was nowhere to be found?
