    When you stop trying to do it on your own and rely on Gods ability to take care of the situation, No matter what it is, that’s when the stress stops and the resting in God’s ability starts, that’s when the peace of God takes over the situation.

    “Getting past the worrying” Matthew 6:25-27 NIV. 25. “Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink, or about your body, what you will wear.

    When you hold the Bible in your hand, you’re not just holding a book. When you open it and read it, you’re not just reading words. You’re not just taking in information. You are taking in life … still warm from the breath of God.

    I want to start out with two true stories this morning and I want to ask you what you notice is common to both stories and what is missing. Ready? Aurelius Augustinus was born on November 13, 354 a.d. in Tagaste, Numbia … or what is known today as Algeria. We know Aurelius Augustinus today as ...read more

    True worship is all about God, not about us. How important it is that we serve God and communicate with Him in a way that takes the focus off of us and puts it on Him!

If you do, you will have no reward from your Father in heaven. 2 "So when you give to the needy, do not announce it with trumpets, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and on the ...read more
