Sermons on Submitting To Gods Will:

The Prayer Of Gethsemane Series

Contributed by Chris Anderson on Mar 10, 2023

The Will Of God

Contributed by Melvin Maughmer, Jr. on May 2, 2022

Does God Ever Withdraw His Favor?

Contributed by Dr. Craig Nelson on Mar 15, 2022

There is a belief in the church that when a Born-Again Christian sins or walks in disobedience, God withdraws His favor and blessings to punish them.

This belief is rooted in the Old Testament, where a relationship with God was conditionally based upon behavior. The Hebrew words translated as ‘favor’ are ‘ratson’ and ‘ratsah.’ The word ‘ratson’ is translated as favor, goodwill, acceptance, desire, pleasure. It most often represents God ...read more
