    Life is interrupted in many different ways … death, disease, unhappy events, struggles within and with others. These anxiety producing events leave us struggling to find peace in a world that offers very little peace.

    PEACE WHERE THERE IS NO PEACE LUKE 1:26–56 Introduction Last week we began our series through the gospel of Luke by studying about the birth and life of John the Baptist - the Forerunner of Hope. Today we continue through Luke 1 and search out the theme of Peace. Which is strange - ...read more

    This morning we begin with this quote from Max Lucado. (Slide 1) Whether or not storms come, we cannot choose. But where we stare during a storm, that we can. (Source: Max Lucado via twitter.com/MaxLucado, October 12, 2009) (I think that he has been reading John Ortberg’s book!) Look at ...read more

    Trusting in His plans

    Susie is one of the most trustworthy people I know; I trust her with my life. Imagine she is in a long line at the bank.

    Confident That God Is Able

     | 3,190 views

    We can relate to Paul’s life in many ways. One of the ways we can relate to him is that He had GOOD DAYS, and BAD DAYS, and so do we.

    But one of the differences we see between Paul’s life and our life is that through all of his experiences, HE HAD GREAT CONFIDENCE IN GOD. We do not always have this confidence. Honesty compels me to admit that sometimes I can’t help but wonder if God made some big mistakes. • Sometimes from my ...read more

    In Psalm 34 we have an unusual situation. This Psalm took place when David was having to flee from King Saul for his life.

    To spare his life, David did an unusual thing, he went unto the land of the Philistines. When he arrived however, the people skeptically received him. The King in Psalm 34 has caused some to believe the Bible contradicts itself. For example: • In 1 Samuel 21 the Bible refers to the King of Gath ...read more

    As the light shines, the hostile opposition to it, & thus to Jesus the light bearer, grows. It was now dangerous for Jesus to appear at the Feast of Tabernacles. Despite the danger Jesus follows His appointed path but with wisdom.

    JOHN 7: 1-13 [The 5th Discourse] THE COURAGEOUS CHRIST [Leviticus 23: 33ff] John chapter 7 conveys the reactions of the world to the revelation of Jesus Christ. Again and again throughout this Gospel John has emphasized the difficulty and ...read more
