    Sermon # 39 - Possible With God Alone Series

    The one thing that is a chief contender for our love and allegiance to God is the riches of this world. If we desire to inherit eternal life we must choose to know God, love Him above all else and keep money in its rightful place. What seems impossible with men is possible with God alone.

    We read in Mark 10:27, “Jesus looked at them and said, “With man it is impossible, but not with God. For all things are possible with God.” (ESV) Mankind has advanced in leaps and bounds in science, technology, industrialization and medicine. However, all of these progressions have still left us ...read more

    I think if we were to take the book of Philippians and we were to try to understand emotions, there would be a map that goes like this with these three particular kind of emotions. One is anger. The second is sadness. And the third is anxiety.
