    Inspiration is taken from Mark Batterson's incredible book "Circle Maker". This part stood out to me from one of the chapters. It's about facing up to your Jericho and overcoming it! Thanks Mark!

    Today we will deal with the topic of worry. Many people are walking around today "worried sick" and are unable to experience the joy of the Lord. The question we are looking at today is Lord, how can I overcome worry?

    “This Message is for the Birds” Matthew 6: 25-34 We come to our 2nd question that you have asked this morning in our series of Questions we would like to ask God. This passage intrigues me because it is no surprise that Jesus starts teaching on the subject of worry right after He has ...read more

    The Holy Spirit is given to all who love Jesus Christ, to empower us for his work, to teach us all things, and to give us a real and lasting peace in the knowledge that Jesus has overcome the world.

    It seems to me that there are 2 issues that Christians face today that Jesus addresses here in this passage. The first is the question as to how we’re rating as a Christian. That is are we good enough for God to be happy with us? Are we good enough that God would listen to our prayers? How ...read more

    Paul exhorted the church to rejoice in the Lord, even though they faced adversity, and avoid false teaching. He also emphasized that works were not enough to secure salvation. If they remained focused on the faith, they could overcome in Christ.
