     | 756 views

    The Gospel is able to penetrate in all seasons, if we are willing to share it. This is what Acts teaches us, those around Saul demonstrate, now it’s our time. It is our time to react in a way that shows people Jesus, not ourselves!

    To the Ends of the Earth, Part 13 Spiritual Growth requires Faithfulness Acts 9:23 – 9:31 Introduction - Welcome to Seasons Church & 2024 sermon series, “To the Ends of the Earth” -- In 2023 we unpacked the beginning of all history (Creation/Fall/Promise) -- And we looked ahead, ...read more

    Someone once said that you and I might be the only Bible someone ever reads, so we need to be something worth reading. Are you available to be that shelter for a non-believing friend?

    An Oasis in the Desert by Otis McMillan The word “oasis” has a refreshing sound to it, does it? It means a retreat, a haven, or a sanctuary. Read and meditate on these verses from Isaiah 32. "And a man shall be as a hiding place from the wind, and a shelter from the tempest, like streams of ...read more

     | 6,035 views

    Friend, you cannot flex your muscles and pray for cancer if you had not already prayed enough for headache! Jesus said, ‘this kind cannot be driven out by anything but prayer!’ THIS KIND!

    THIS KIND! THIS KIND! THIS KIND! Mark 9:29”Jesus he said to the disciples, "This kind cannot be driven out by anything but prayer." The disciples were puzzled why they could not drive the demon out? Jesus clearly said: ‘pray more!’ Actually, I guess they were basking under the ...read more

    Try to remember that no matter what Satan, the world, or this life throws at you, turn to the one who can see you through it all, and never give up on his promise to never leave or forsake you.

    There is a saying that “When the going gets tough, the tough get going”. Job could have been the one who started that saying. He truly bore more grief and pain than we can imagine. Vs 2: Even today is my complaint bitter: my stroke is heavier than my groaning. Vs 3: Oh that I knew ...read more

    We all carry worries and anxieties. Instead of keeping them to ourselves, we should give them to Jesus and trust Him to handle them.

    Let's be real. Some of us are sick of hearing about how great things could be. We want to believe, but we're not sure how. If that's you, I'm glad you're here. Remember these verses: Psalm 55:2: Give your worries to God and He'll take care of you. Matthew 6:25: Don't stress about your life, God's ...read more

    based on 44 ratings
     | 10,055 views

    Through prayer, God will open a window of opportunity for us to work past our stresses, our conflicted feelings, and even our sins and shortcomings.

    Life is tough. Am I going to get any argument about that? The philosopher Thomas Hobbes said that human life was solitary, poor, nasty, brutish, and short. Wow! Not the kind of stuff we expect on Sunday morning. Supposed to be all, “Praise the Lord”! But deep down, lots of people do ...read more

    When your going through something, its almost like you think your all alone in your dilemma, Nothing could be farther from the truth, you may have left the scene of the incident, but God hasn’t. He’s waiting and wanting to come to your rescue!

     | 5,648 views

    Jesus has come to give his life as a ransom for many (10:45). Man needs to be saved from himself, from his deceitful heart, his bent to do evil.

    Introduction What is worse – to be told that you will fail or to watch your failure played out just as it was told? And what is more difficult for the condemned prisoner – waiting for the hours to tick by or the moment of execution finally arriving? Not very good choices either way, ...read more

    Flesh And Spirit: Love And Patience Series

    Contributed by Joseph Smith on Aug 3, 2009
     | 6,022 views

    Patience reaches four layers: relational, emotional, sexual, and spiritual. At each level to be impatient is to fail to trust God to be God.

    I know you’ve heard this old line, but I just can’t resist repeating it. It concerns the fellow who had realized that he was impetuous, compulsive, and impatient. And so he decided to ask the Lord to help him settle his personality problem. "Lord," he prayed. “Lord, give me the gift of patience and ...read more
