    Contributed by Vern Reynolds on Mar 21, 2025
     | 1,319 views

    Introduction Greetings, church family, visitors and those watching online now or in the future!

    "Standing on a mountaintop at dawn, we're awed by the vastness of God's creation, reminding us of our valued place in His universe. Psalm 8:3-4 reflects on this, urging us to trust in God’s grand design for a fulfilled life."

    Seeking God In Your Situation

     | 3,158 views

    Many people who claimed to know God and connected to Him, cannot actually trust Him to intervene in their situation when things get bad. It is a great strength for a believer to be able to trust God alone in difficult situations.

    Seeking God in your Situation Study Text: 2 Kings 1: 1 - 4 Introduction: Ahaziah was in a difficult situation, but rather than seeking God for solution, he secretly sends to consult the god of Eckron. Worries and fears of the unknown weakens his trust in God, and went outside the will of God to ...read more
