    Consider some of the “anchors” we can employ in the storms of life that we face.

    FOUR ANCHORS THAT HOLD "Then, fearing lest we should run aground on the rocks, they dropped four anchors from the stern, and prayed for day to come." Acts 27:29 This frightening event occurred on Paul's voyage to Rome to stand trial before Caesar Nero. There are several parallels we can draw ...read more

    If you want to be truly wise, don’t be like those who WON’T SEE, and don’t be like those who CAN’T SEE. Instead, be like those who DO SEE, because they let Jesus touch them, not just once, but as many times as it takes.

    It is a fact of life that we will go through times of trial, pain, and suffering. This is an encouraging sermon that reminds us that God has a plan for us, and that trials give us an opportunity to grow in faith, wisdom, and maturity.

    You know, everything happens for a reason. Even before I was saved, I seemed to have the knowing that nothing in life was a coincidence. I just knew that we encounter experiences in life for a purpose, either to learn an important life lesson, or to grow in some way, but more importantly, to ...read more

    God's 'suddenlys' will bless us when we learn how to respond to them properly.

    He was a good man. A godly man. A righteous man. And he never saw it coming. I’m sure he was blindsided by what happened. He prayed for his children constantly because he was concerned about their relationship with God, and for all this God blessed him. Yet, in the space a few minutes, ...read more
