    Jesus clearly knew God’s will, and yet he had intense angst and the deep feeling of despair that came from actually obeying God’s will. This sermon is intended to equip you for those moments where DOING God’s will, is really really hard.

    If you’ve been around Christian circles for any length of time, there is a considerable amount of frustration in trying to determine God’s will. For some, it’s because we love the Lord and want to please him, so we want to make sure we’re making right choices that would honor him. But for others, ...read more

    Grace is not only hard to understand, it is difficult to accept. While every human being has a deep need for acceptance, security, and significance, we tend to seek the meeting of those needs in other human beings, who can never really meet those needs.

    Grace We Struggle to Accept: The Embrace of Grace Grace, prt. 2 Wildwind Community Church David K. Flowers 3/20/05 I want to start today’s message on an uncharacteristically heavy note.

    Sometimes we can be left in hard circumstances so long we start believing that a momentary realization that we are indeed alive is only a sadistic pause until the next car breakdown, pipe breaking, kid-sickness, roof leaking, job layoff or unexpected bill

    THE PASTOR’S POINTS sermon ministry of CEDAR LODGE BAPTIST CHURCH Thomasville, NC January 18, 2004 Paul was very encouraging with his words to the church at Thessalonica.

    The Lord through Paul calls us to get along, even when it's hard. He says to be humble, gentle, patient, and forbearing with our fellow believers. And through our efforts to do so, God will be glorified in the world. We pursue unity because God is one.
