    Introduction I profess that I DO NOT like to watch the TV show, “Survivor”. I admit the concept, though with I’m sure some exaggerations, is pretty cool!

    In our text, I see several thoughts about God, which the world distorts or tries to deceive us. 1- Good is from God - praise Him! 2- Truth is from God - praise Him! 3- Life is from God - praise Him!

    INTRO.- Don’t be deceived, my dear brothers. I believe that some people do want to deceive others for one reason or another. It could be for money, a vote or something else.

    I am convinced that the devil's greatest fear is that the church will get a revelation of the power that we already have, and that we will start acting like who God says we are.

    I believe that the devil is most afraid of the church realizing the power we already possess and starting to act in accordance with who God says we are. Let's read Acts 2:1-4: "When the day of Pentecost came, they were all together in one place. Suddenly a sound like the blowing of a violent wind ...read more

     | 172 views

    If God is present and active, why is He so silent? We live in an age of information where we expect a 'why' for every 'what.' But in this message, we discover that God often withholds the explanation to protect the formation.

    The Question We're All Asking We've learned that God is hidden, but not absent. We've learned that silence is refinement, not punishment. We've learned that God knows us intimately, even in the darkness. But now we come to the hardest question of all. If God is really present. If ...read more
