    A Thorn In The Flesh

    Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Feb 17, 2022

    We know that God is able to heal, but sometimes we aren’t healed. This message looks at one possible reason why, as we examine an illness that the apostle Paul wrestled with for most of his Christian life - his "thorn in the flesh."

    This evening we are going to look at a passage of Scripture that is related to the subject matter of healing. In the Scripture we discover that our God is a God of healing. He says in Exodus 15:26, “I am the Lord who heals you.” We also read that Jesus Christ, God’s Son, heals us as well, for ...read more

    In this message we wrap up our series, 'Love Is,' by looking at several facets of God's kind of love... love does not delight in evil, love rejoices with truth, love bears all things... , Love never fails and love is not self seeking.

    Love Does Not But Does, All Things, Never, Is Not.. If I speak in the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal. If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have a faith that can move ...read more

    Jesus Christ came to earth to reveal the nature of the REAL boss the Lord God Almighty. He is pretty intimidating, so you’d think He would have a personality to match but He doesn’t. The boss of bosses does not follow the world?s leadership model

    David faced a great challenge as he stood before Goliath. It was the greatest miss-match of all time, and yet he was triumphant. We too face giants as we strive to serve the Lord, but like David, we can overcome in the Lord. Christ secured victory for us!

    Memoirs of a Giant Slayer 1 Samuel 17: 40-51 Our text today comes from one of the most familiar and recognizable accounts in all of Scripture.

    God’s Word will not and cannot fail but that leads to two crucial questions: 1) Is God free to do whatever he wants? 2) Is God fair in the way he treats people? Today's message will help us wrestle with these issues of God's sovereignty.

    The God Who Can Be Trusted Romans 9:4-18 4 … Israel. Theirs is the adoption as sons; theirs the divine glory, the covenants, the receiving of the law, the temple worship and the promises. 5 Theirs are the patriarchs, and from them is traced the human ancestry of Christ, who is God over ...read more

    Man's reasoning and God's don't match up very well. Sinners, even very religious sinners, easily find fault with God, in how He deals with sin and righteousness. Our only hope for "making sense of it all" is to BELIEVE and accept EVERYTHING He says, rathe

    God often deals with us at night. In the deepest night God brings Israel out of Egypt. At night God wrestles with Jacob. At midnight God looses Peter’s chains. At night Paul hears the Macedonian call. In the middle of the night God calls Samuel to serve.
