    God answers our prayers when we least expect it

    Hebrews 2:1 When God Answered Several year ago my shoulder began to hurt for seemingly no reason at all, and I had difficulty getting my arm into my coat sleeve. I had not had an injury to my shoulder and expected it would be well in a few days, but it wasn’t. I did everything I knew to do—pain ...read more

    What is it that you expect from God when you pray? What answer do you expect to receive?

    WHEN GOD SAYS NO Introduction: What is it that you expect from God when you pray? What answer do you expect to receive? Surely most of us phrase our prayers in such a way that all God has to do is say, "Yes, yes my child." Most of the testimonies that we hear are such that God says, ...read more

    Like Paul, we all have a "thorn in the flesh." We can learn from Paul that God allows it, Satan sends it, and we can accept it. Because when we are weak, then we are strong, with God's strength on display through our weakness.

    2 Corinthians 12:7-10 When God Says No Have you ever received a “no” answer from God? It hurts, right? You think you know best, you really do. And then God says, “I don’t think so.” Well, it particularly hurts when you’ve been suffering, and not only does God not remove the suffering, but maybe ...read more

    We all have times of dryness in our relationship with God, and it could be for a variety of reasons. But sometimes it's because we harbor unconfessed sin our life. Isaiah gives us a path forward, a way to renew our relationship with the Lord.

    Isaiah 64:1-9 When God Hides Have you ever had a winter season of faith? You pray, but your prayers seem to bounce off the ceiling? You wonder if you really know God, or if God knows you? Philip Yancey, in his book, “Reaching for the Invisible God,” writes: “I experienced the sense of abandonment ...read more

    We don’t like to be told ‘no’. When we ask for something and the answer is ‘no’ we feel rejected and deprived. We walk away frustrated or sad. What about when God says 'no'? Let’s look at some examples where people had a proper response to being told no.

    WHEN GOD SAYS “NO” INTRODUCTION: We don’t like to be told ‘no’. When we ask for something and the answer is ‘no’ we feel rejected and deprived. We walk away frustrated or sad. It can take the wind right out of our sails. Sometimes a ‘no’ answer ...read more

    We never like to accept a "No" answer in our life, especially in prayer, but the fact is that there are times God replies to us with a firm No because He wants to reveal to us a deeper plan.

    When we were children, we never liked hearing the word 'No' when we ask our parents for something. We felt as though our every wish should be granted. If you say otherwise, we can pray later. Frankly, as adults, we feel the same way. We do not like to be told no in regards to ...read more

    Silence has a language all its own. Some of the hardest things to handle are the times in our lives when God seems like He is a million miles away and is not answering our prayers. In this message, Dr. Vorce addresses how to process the "silent times" in our lives.

    Job 23:8-12, 16; Genesis 16 & Genesis 21 Introduction: • Silence has a language all its own. • Some of the hardest things to handle are the times in our lives when God seems like He is a million miles away and is not answering our prayers. • God promised in His Word to always be there, but ...read more

    When God Speaks are you listening? When we focus on the benefits of living for God, who speaks to us, we ought to be the happiest people on Earth.

    When God Speaks Acts 9:1-7 (KJV) And Saul, yet breathing out threatenings and slaughter against the disciples of the Lord, went unto the high priest, 2 And desired of him letters to Damascus to the synagogues, that if he found any of this way, whether they were men or women, he might bring them ...read more

    Are we reluctant or willing when God commissions us? Jonah is a great study in God's heart verses our own when it comes to mercy and grace.

    Join me in a look at Jonah. 2 Kings 14: 23 In the fifteenth year of Amaziah the son of Joash, king of Judah, Jeroboam the son of Joash, king of Israel, became king in Samaria, and reigned forty-one years. 24 And he did evil in the sight of the LORD; he did not depart from all the sins of Jeroboam ...read more

    When you pray, do you expect to hear from God?

    “When God Speaks” Genesis 26:1-6 When you pray, do you expect to hear from God? We often pray and when we do it is a time of request and asking God for blessings or direction. But do we ever expect to hear an answer? We should! Genesis 25:7-8 “And these are the days of the years of Abraham’s ...read more

    If we want to truly belong to the family of God, it isn’t enough saying we are Christian; we need to do what Christ tells us to.

    Scripture Reading: Mark 3:31-35 Then his mother and his brothers came; and standing outside, they sent to him and called him. A crowd was sitting around him; and they said to him, “Your mother and your brothers and sisters are outside, asking for you.” And he replied, “Who are my mother and my ...read more
