    Unity is crucial to Christian witness. Nothing is more essential and nothing brings God glory like the love and unity of the body of Christ in a fallen world. Yet this struggle is pervasive. How does God want us to deal with it?

    Powerpoint available upon request: gwnance@bellsouth.net ask for "Powerpoint for When Christians Disagree."

    The storms of life distract us from focusing on God – learn what Jesus focused on in times of trouble.

    Most of the time in our lives we focus on what to do if things go wrong. We come up with contingency plans in case we are late for a flight.

    When you focus on the problem, instead of focusing on the problem solver, when you let your mountain get in your line of vision, thats when your faith becomes little or small, thats when it becomes only about your ability, instead of Gods Amazing Ability!

    Whats The Name Of Your Mountain? Mark 11:22-24 NKJ 22. So Jesus answered and said to them, Have faith in God. 23. For assuredly, I say to you, whoever says to this mountain, Be removed and be cast into the sea, and does not doubt in his heart, but believes that those things he says will be done, ...read more
