     | 7,753 views

    It is painfully hard, but we have to accept that we are just frail people in frail bodies living in a broken sinful world where many tragedies happen daily!

    Troubles & Worries, But No Despair Kelly Durant August 8, 2015 2 Corinthians 4:7-9 7 But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellency of the power may be of God, and not of us.8 We are troubled on every side, yet not distressed; we are perplexed, but not in despair; 9 ...read more

    The tragedy is people lie long enough they start believing their own falsehood. Who are you really? What do you see when you look into the mirror?

    THOU SHALT NOT LIE INTRO: Everyone looks really good from up here this morning. But did you look this good when you woke up this morning? You have that morning dazed look · Your hair is sticking out in strange places, · We men get to shaven that rough looking over night growth of ...read more

    What’s wrong with being godless? If you can answer that question, you can avoid the tragedy that took Esau’s future away from him.

    OPEN: A man filled his car with gas at a self-service gas station. After he had paid and driven away, he realized that he had left the gas cap on top of his car. He stopped and looked and, sure enough, it was gone. He thought for a second and realized that other people must have done the same ...read more

     | 111 views

    Such tragedy in Judah but who can help? The broken walls weep. Hunger is everywhere. Women turn to cannibalism. Everyone is badly affected. Jeremiah asks, “Why has the LORD done this to us?” In fact it is sin that is reaping its sowing. The nation was corrupt.

    (9/11 was a day that shocked America. Despite the tragedy, God did not cause the catastrophe, nor was He indfferent to our suffering. He was there, helping us, suffering with us.

    Today is a solemn day of remembrance of the day that’s become known as 9/11. A day when America, seemingly secure in the fact that no foreign enemy had attacked us on American soil since the War of 1812, when the White House was partially burned by the British. But as much of America was waking ...read more

    Some of you may remember the water incident in Walkerton, Ontario, Canada. Our church is about a 10 minute drive away and this is a message I preached following the tragedy.

    ARE YOU SECURE IN CHRIST? If there is one thing that the tragedy in Walkerton has taught people it is that we really take our water for granted. We never thought twice about taking a drink from our taps or taking a bath – or letting our kids play in the sprinklers – but this Ecoli thing has all ...read more

    This is the 2nd part of 3-series Bible’s 9-11. What an amazing fact that God has foretold to us about this tragedy and what is the remedy for us.

    Theme: Ruth is a story that starts out as a tragedy but then evolves into a romantic drama of the life of a Godly non-Jewish woman who trusted in Jehovah-Jirah and was rewarded for her faithfulness.

    Theme: Immerse We have been challenged through Scripture over the last few months to immerse ourselves into the spiritual realm. We have been encouraged to immerse ourselves in a new way of living for ourselves and for our families. We have been challenged to look at things differently through ...read more

    I would say that most everyone knew where they were on that day in history but, where was God? Why would a good and loving God allow such a tragedy to happen?

    911 Where were you? The date was September 11, 2001. Where were you when you heard the tragic news 10 years ago and the day that changed America forever? I remember that day well.
