When Jesus told the disciples to get in the boat, they had no idea that a great storm was ahead. The same is often true for us today; we don't expect storms to arise when we're doing what God asks of us, but often they do. Jesus' response to the disciples and his reaction to the storm provides a solid blueprint for how we should respond when we are facing uncertain times. Photo by Jean...

So it's the end of the world. How do you feel about it? Today we will present what we as a church and as the Assemblies of God believe is a timeline of the end of the world, based on the Scriptures. There are many more details, but that's not the point. The point is: are you ready, and who are you taking with you?

Very often the load we carry becomes heavy. God does not want us to bear that burden alone. He is our burden bearer. We also are instructed to help those that are heavy laden to find the burden bearer.

God promises us that all things work together for good. That Greek word for works together is the word from which we get synergize. We are better together and God works with us, in us, and through us so all things can work together for good.

The last two weeks we have spoken about being rooted and growing in Christ. Today we finish this series speaking about bearing fruit. God does not desire us to be spiritually barren His desire is for us to be fruitful. What kind of fruit are you bearing? Photo by Gala Iv on Unsplash

God is adamant in His Word that we should always be sowing, growing and harvesting. If we are not doing those things we are not doing what God has asked--not asked but demanded--the church to do. Let's root, shoot, and fruit for the cause of Christ.
