    Suffering comes to everyone. In fact there is not one person who can escape the sting and pain of suffering. However, when we understand the possible sources of our suffering, then we are in a position to move ahead in life as we seek God’s purposes.

    The Source Of Our Suffering 1. Suffering May Be Caused By the Activity of Satan… Job 1-2 a. Satan desires to destroy us physically. b. Satan desires to destroy us emotionally. c. Satan desires to destroy us spiritually. 2. Suffering May Be Caused by the Activity of Ungodly People… Rom. 1:28-32 ...read more

    Why scars? God does not need giraffes in the pew, with their heads stuck up in the clouds. We need empathy. We need real passion and compassion! We need to share the burdens of the hurting. We need understanding from the pulpit and the pew.

    By Todd Bentley. The wilderness is the last place most believers want to be. That’s understandable, since the notion of “biblical” suffering sets most people on edge. But it doesn’t have to. Not if you know of the joy set before you!

    Several years ago my wife and I went with a group on a tour of Italy. It was a wonderful experience, most of it. Most of it, but not all.

     | 9,677 views

    What does it mean when Jesus says He is the Light of the World? He spoke to a culture thoroughly verse in the Old Covenant, and so to understand the significance of His words, we will need to explore what the people heard when He spoke.

    ”Again Jesus spoke to [the Jewish leaders], saying, ‘I am the light of the world. Whoever follows Me will not walk in darkness, but will have the light of life.’ So the Pharisees said to him, ‘You are bearing witness about yourself; your testimony is not true.’ Jesus answered, ‘Even if I do bear ...read more

    Receiving And Treasuring

     | 2,388 views

    If we don’t understand the purpose of the Word, we’ll miss out on the life of God. Through His Word, God transforms us more into his likeness. Every word in scripture is a doorway to the heart of God and a stairway into the realms of God.

    Receiving and Treasuring – Proverbs 2:1 Intro.: The first focus that Solomon lays out has to do with the way we treat the Word of God. Proverbs 2:1 – “…if you receive my words and treasure my commands within you…” The “receiving” refers to how we posture ourselves before the Word of God and ...read more

    Hate your parents, spouse, kids??? What is going on here in Luke 14? Before we decided to change the Word of God, consider the unthinkable with me for a bit. It might just open our eyes to a deeper understanding of who Jesus is.

    (If you rate this sermon please offer helpful comments, God bless, Greg) When was the last time you said something that you really didn’t mean? What if I got up here and said, “If anyone comes to this church and does not hate his father and mother, his wife and children, his brothers and sisters ...read more

     | 45,173 views

    Today, the first thing that we must understand is that there are stages to success. The problem with most of us, young and old alike, is that we go through these stages voluntarily blind-folded. We take on this attitude of know-it-all when in actuality, w

    God likes you. The only way to obey God over the long haul is to love him. The first step to loving Him is to receive His love for you. The first step to receiving his love for you is to understand he likes you.

    Anxiety is common to all people, even Christians. We can learn to handle our anxiety by understanding that God is our ever present help, His strength is adequate for anything you might face and His help stands on its own.

    We are living in anxious times. As I grew up we faced total annihilation by way of the bomb. My folks actually considered building a bomb shelter. Some of you may have done that. We wondered what would happen. Our anxieties are ever expanding. We have seen people poisoned by simply eating food that ...read more

    We don’t reverence God as we ought, when He is safely tucked inside the boxes of our understanding, our theology, our control, or in the box of our familiarity. What happens when He gets out of our box?
