Genesis 1:1-AV In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth. 0430 ’elohiym {el-o-heem’} plural of 0433; TWOT - 93c; n ...read more

Emergency Planning

Contributed by Richard Down on Jan 7, 2011

Emergency planning means getting ready for when things go wrong. This sermon considers how well we are prepared for things to go wrong in our Christian lives and how God can lift us back up when we fall.

Our remit was partly Mountain Rescue but since the mountains in our area were rather made up of hills and moors this was not the dramatic role you might expect.

God hears us loud and clear the first time when we call on Him, He is ready, willing and able to help us, the moment we do. The thing is though, we don’t have to pray pleading, desperate prayers all the time to get His attention.
