    God Always Has A Plan

    Contributed by Terry Frazier on Feb 1, 2013
    based on 1 rating
     | 10,632 views

    Christians need to learn to look at all the circumstances in our lives, the good and what we consider to be bad circumstances and look at these circumstances the way God does. We need to remember that God uses all of our circumstances to teach us things!

Sometimes we like how His plan unfolds for us and sometimes we can become disappointed in how the plan unfolds. I have also mentioned a Bible study that Diane and ...read more

    Jesus came to His own people and they rejected Him, the Sanhedrin hated Him, and even His own disciples abandoned Him in Gethsemane. Truly Jesus was destitute of companionship.

    Luke 9:58 Introduction: In our text, Jesus is not speaking of Him living in poverty, but He is speaking of His lack of normal necessities for living such as companionship and acceptance into His society. Jesus clearly is teaching His disciples and us, that to live Godly will ...read more

    Paul goes to Jerusalem and is arrested; is he doing the will of God?
