Separating Good From Evil

Contributed by Craig Condon on Nov 10, 2015

It Is Well With My Soul Series

Sermon # 32 - A Life That God Rejoices Over Series

Contributed by Andrew Dixon on Jul 2, 2025

We are made in the image of God and our emotions too are expressions of the way God feels about us. It’s good to examine ourselves to see if God rejoices over us or is He grieved about us. Also the plans we make should always be in alignment with God’s will so He does not have to scorn them.

We read in Zephaniah 3:17, “The LORD your God is mighty in your midst; He will save; He will rejoice over you with joy; He will rest in His love; He rejoices over you with singing.” (AFV) We also read in Psalm 2:4, “From his throne in heaven the Lord laughs and mocks their feeble plans.” (GNB) It ...read more

Awesome Authority - Mark 1:14-34 Series

Contributed by Darrell Ferguson on Jun 11, 2023

Jesus is the promised Son/King from Psalm 2, and has awesome authority over people’s lives, what people become, roles in the kingdom, over the Word of God, over evil, and over disease.

And part of it comes from the fact that so many of us have been under terrible authorities who abused their authority. But the truth is, life is most wonderful when you are ...read more
