    Often our words, attitudes and thinking patterns sabotage God's plan. We must wrestle not in the flesh and blood. We must wrestle until our change comes. Jacob's life seemed sabotaged until he had an encounter with God. Come let us seek God's presence.

    A Self-Centered Hothead Meets God’s Providence Series

    Contributed by Ed Vasicek on May 17, 2021
     | 3,116 views

    Today’s sermon is about a childless couple unexpectedly blessed with a grape-less son who ends up being a womanizing hothead hippie, marries the enemy, has a hobby of setting fox’ tails on fire, gets put in prison just because he gets a haircut, and dies of fallen arches. This is how it happened.

    A Self-centered Hothead Meets God’s Providence (Judges 13-16) Some people think that God using someone means God endorsing someone. God uses two types of people: 1. Those He uses because of their close walk with Him. 2 Timothy 2:21, “Therefore, if anyone cleanses himself from what is ...read more

    Recognize and embrace our true identity in Christ, rather than creating a false self.

    Good morning, my brothers and sisters! We're diving into the heart of a story today that's as relevant now as it was thousands of years ago.

    At a men's retreat I noticed the verse on the back of the shirt of the guy sitting ahead of me. 2 Tim. 1:7, "For God did not give us a spirit of fear, but a spirit of power, of love and of self-discipline." I pondered that and wondered how power, love and self-discipline counter fear.

    2 Tim. 1:7, "For God did not give us a spirit of timidity, but a spirit of power, of love and of self-discipline." Last week we saw how we can counter fear by operating in God's power. Today we'll see our need to overcome fear to operate in the spirit of love and self-discipline.

    POWER, LOVE AND SELF-DISCIPLINE (part two) Recap: 2 Tim. 1:7, "For God did not give us a spirit of timidity, but a spirit of power, of love and of self-discipline."

    This sermon is to get Christians to stop asking what Jesus would do and start asking what does he desire us to do.

    W.W.J.D. (What Would Jesus Desire) Tonight’s sermon is about a subject we all should be concerned about and that’s what our Lord and Savior Jesus the Christ desire of us. We use the phrase "What Would Jesus Do" all the time. It’s become a T-shirt, a bumper sticker, a logo on hats, but we never ...read more
