    God Moves In Mysterious Ways Series

     | 54,294 views

    Many people think God’s ways are so mysterious, they are beyond our understanding. Perhaps the phrase “God moves in mysterious ways” was coined because in the Bible, God often did the UNEXPECTED. God seldom acts or moves the way we think He should.

    INTRODUCTION Over the past few weeks we’ve been studying popular sayings people think are in the Bible–but they aren’t. We’ve already discussed several pseudo-scriptures including, “God helps those who help themselves” and “God won’t put more on you than you can bear.” Today, we are focusing on ...read more

     | 952 views

    This sermon explores the subtle ways God speaks and how we often miss His voice because we are not paying attention. It challenges believers to be spiritually alert, recognizing that God’s voice is often found in unexpected places and circumstances.

    Have you ever felt like you missed something important? Maybe it was an opportunity, a moment, or a conversation that could have changed everything. Spiritually speaking, many of us have missed something just as important: the voice of God. He speaks, He guides, but often His voice is missed ...read more

    Early Jewish Christians referred to themselves as "The Way," which some have surmised comes from the book of Isaiah, where it was prophesied, "prepare the way of the Lord" (Isaiah 40:3).

    "The Way" is how Jesus referred to Himself, "I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me" (John 14:6 ESV). Throughout the book of Acts, people who were followers of Jesus were not called Christians but considered "a sect of the ...read more
