    This sermon is second in a series of "Open Doors". The theme is one of God who, no matter how far we think He is from us, no matter how far we have strayed, He is there to open a door of hope.

    THE DOOR OF HOPE Hosea 2:14-23 “Therefore, behold, I will allure her, will bring her into the wilderness, and speak comfort to her.

    Doors: Open Or Closed

    Contributed by Barry O Johnson on Aug 24, 2017

    The majority of the body of Christ believes that God opens doors (a "yes" answer to prayer) and closes doors (a "no" answer to prayer) in their lives. Does scripture support such a belief?

    The message today is one that I believe is going to challenge traditional thinking in the Body of Christ. How many of you have heard the following statements and, perhaps, even said them? ? When God opens a door no one can close it. ? When God closes a door no one can open it. ? When one door ...read more

    HoHum: The following list of statements are not meant to be offensive to the Open Theist.  They are meant to be both humorous and illustrative.  Open Theism teaches that God does not know future events, that He can be surprised by them, that He can make mistakes, and that He learns what will happen ...read more
