“Letting Go of Hurt and Anger” Scripture: Ephesians 4:25-32 The second enemy of the heart is anger. We get angry when we don’t get what we want. Show me an angry person and I’ll show you a hurt person. And I guarantee you that person is hurt because something has been taken. Somebody owes them something. We all know people whose anger could be verbalized in one of the following ways: “You took my...

“The Simmering Volcano” Scripture: Matthew 15:1-20 Our tendency is to monitor our behavior while pretty much ignoring our hearts. After all, how do you monitor your heart? I can’t get too far off base in my behavior without somebody drawing it to my attention. But my heart? That seems a bit more complicated. Jesus said something that still has huge implications today: “The things that come out of...

“I can’t get no . . . satisfaction.” More than 50 years ago Mick Jagger and the Stones made this line famous . . . and more than 50 years later, we’re still singing right along with them. Not because it’s catchy, but because it’s true. Satisfaction is one of the most elusive things in life. How do we find it? While the Bible doesn’t have much to say about satisfaction, it does have a great deal to...

Faith Matters with Brian and Andi Hale The Book of Signs by Dr. David Jeremiah, Ch 11 - Apathy Christians, rather than being distinct from the world around them and living in expectation of their Lord's return, have become so much like the world that sometimes you can scarcely tell the difference between the two. People stubbornly refuse to listen to the truth, because their minds become filled wi...

THE WARRIOR OWNS DEFEAT The warrior knows that honor is not found in the victory. Honor is found in the nobility of the battle. If the battle is not worthy of the warrior’s life, there is no honor in its victory. In the same way, the warrior knows there is no dishonor in defeat. Failure and defeat are not the same. The warrior never claims victory for themselves but only for others. In the same wa...

We Love Because He First Loved Us 1 John 4:19 We love because he first loved us. The most perplexing thing about God is not that He is omniscient, omnipresent or omnipotent. Since He is God, these virtues are somehow given or expected. Otherwise, He wouldn’t be known as God. The thing that is the hardest to comprehend is that though He is so powerful and almighty, He is also love! Through the tain...

Madly In Love Think of the times when you get mad; when your toddler’s food is all over the floor; when someone stubbornly makes his mind up and refuses to hear you out; or when you have to hold your anger because you know whatever comes out from your mouth will not be pleasant. That’s us. But God’s anger is different from our anger. He is slow to anger. In other words, He is patient with us. Howe...

Hero To Zero Have you had someone cut into your traffic lane before? I have. And it was a motorcyclist. He rode into my side mirror and just took off. I’ve been done dirty. That experience changed my whole perception towards motorcyclists. After that day, I behaved like the poles of magnets – when they move near me, it repels me away from them. Until I met a guy on a motorcycle who was different f...

Faithfulness Through Failures Most romantic movies portray the story of young love. It creates the perfect scene where two individuals fall in love. It goes back and forth from when they fell in love, then fast forwards to the scene where they are old with kids, displaying love in its most mature stage. The trouble with this is that it only shows the beginning and the end of a romance. Everyone ca...

Even after many warnings, they failed to repent. But our God is a gracious God. Despite their stubbornness, He still initiated restoration. In Jeremiah 31, we read how God reached out to His people with kindness...
