How God’s Plans Interfere With Our Plans (Christmas Sermon)

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Feb 17, 2022

One thing that gets us upset, is when we have things all planned out and someone comes along and ruins our plans.

Your Work, His Power - Sermon On Philippians 2:12-13 Series

Contributed by Darrell Ferguson on Apr 1, 2023

The commands God gives us are like a foreman telling a worker to move a mountain. A shovel (his own strength) won’t work, but neither will a lawn chair. The power comes from the earth mover, but operating that entails hard work.

Philippians 2:12 Therefore, my dear friends, as you have always obeyed—not only in my presence, but now much more in my absence—continue to work out your salvation with fear and trembling, 13 for it is God who works in you to will and to act for the sake of his good pleasure.
