    In the wake of the terrorist attacks, how should Christians respond and what does the Bible say about tragedy?

    This has been a week that our church and our country will never forget. We had Roger Peterson’s funeral here on Tuesday, the same day that our world was rocked by reports of terrorist attacks in New York and Washington, D.C. Preaching involves at least two responsibilities. The first is to ...read more

     | 30,327 views

    Do you believe in praying bold and wild prayers? Do you believe that if you asked God to do something "impossible" that He would? Frankly, the story in Acts 12 doesn't look like these folks believed that. Did God look down on them for their doubt?

    Jesus the Judge is also Savior and Friend, cleansing hearts today so His people can live free, hopeful, and ready for eternity.

    (A Story of Hope and Cleansing) I want to start tonight with an honest question: What word makes your heart tighten faster than almost any other? For some it’s taxes. For others it’s diagnosis.

    This sermon seeks to provide a better understanding as to how God guides His people. It takes an illustration of a hand, with its five fingers, to give a practical insight into the subject.

    INTRODUCTION Today’s talk is entitled How does God guide us? As we consider this subject, I would like to make some assumptions – 1) We assume that God exists. 2) That God wants to guide us. 3) That we want him to guide us. I will assume we all hold a positive response to all of these ...read more
