The power of suffering in serving the Lord provides amazing blessings to those who understand and embrace the truth that suffering pain can produce greater strength, understanding, and wisdom for those who walk by faith and not by sight.  Recently, there was a saying that has been frequently used regarding the pain and hardship that humans often experience on a daily basis.  The statement was, "Ch...

We are starting a New Year with a New Theme and focus for our sermons, Oregon Family Camp, and the G4 Summit Men's Camp! The theme this year is "The 8th Law of Momentum - The Power of Suffering!" As most of you know I have decided to present the Scriptural standard for important timely biblical concepts that are critical for the saints to know, embrace, and apply in our lives.

This morning I desire to begin to change a common paradigm regarding the response to suffering and affliction! In the human experience suffering and struggles are seemingly every present in everyone's life. People often respond and cope with these painful experience with anger, frustration, discouragement, depression, or apathy, with a sense of hopelessness. This morning I desire to offer a mindse...

I wonder what it would be like for a child longing to have his or her adoptive parents come to pick them up from the sad life situation that they were living in.  In working with orphan children in Belarus, they long for parents to love them.  Sadly, that country does not allow their children to be adopted by people from other countries because of the ugliness of human trafficking.  They are hopel...

The LORD is awesome in His amazing examples and clear direction to experience real hope, purpose, meaning, and pleasure in this life and the life hereafter. During today's sermon you will discover that honey, w...

“Jesus Christ is Our Only Hope!” It doesn't take too much time to consider the validity of the statement, Jesus Christ is our only hope. The only sure and constant things in this life is change and death. Indeed, from a carnal perspective everything in this life will either change or pass away! To put your hope in those things that change or perish is foolishness. Today, we will look at the questi...

“What are you living for?” This is a great question that has eternal consequences! For those who choose to muse upon this question they will come to realize it is a matter of hope. If you live like and for the world and the things of the world which are passing away you are living in a state of hopelessness that will only become eternally worse when you pass from this life. If you choose to live f...
