Stonybank Community Church with Pastor James Carroll

The turning point of understanding life's circumstance is when you understand that everything for God’s glory is for your good.  Things are not out of control as you may feel; there is a God in Heaven, He listens to your prayer and in the end will receive all the glory, and the victory, and the majesty: for all that is in the heaven and in the earth is the Lord’s ; thine is the kingdom, O LOR...

God always demands obedience. Its never right to do wrong in order to do right. 

The book of Daniel confirms there is a God in Heaven, our God Who sits upon the throne and rules over the affairs of man.  Indeed, man proposes but God disposes.

From creation to the tower of Babel is the foundation for one's understanding of the rest of God's word.

Bill Sudeck, Missionary to France share the importance of investing in the things of God.

The spirit of Babel is with us and will be the final effort of man before the Lord returns.  The diversity of the nations is actually the only thing that is keeping us from the point of no return.  

In this table of nations we have the warp and woof of the gospel woven into the history of every nation.

What are you living for...?

When you life is facing a hard reset, consider the four areas God addressed with Noah.

Whatever circumstance you may be closed into, God has not forgotten you. God honors every promise He ever made.

You are living your legacy today... how will people remember you? Noah was an example of patient obedience. All the while, no one paid much attention to Noah, the great preacher of righteousness, saying that a flood would come upon the world of the ungodly 2 Peter 2:5. However, Noah found grace in the eyes of the Lord.

In the darkest days God always has His remnant to carry on His promise of redemption

Is there any doubt that we live in a day where evil is gaining acceptance and we are approaching a point of no return.

Family is the first order of social structure, our homes should be a safe place for children and from the beginning we find the devil is at the door of our dwelling place.  You are preparing your children to be responsible adults in a world that is increasingly hostile. For any parent who has felt the guilt of the devil leaving his mark upon your child, just remember the most near perfect par...

The devil is a deceiver who only needs you to doubt his evil intention and he'll soon have what he desires of you.  In the end, God's judgment of death is a blessing rather than living forever in their fallen condition.  His grace is the way of life through the gospel foretold in Gen.3:15.

With creation complete, the Lord pauses to retell the story of creation in to allow the full impact of what just occurred to sink into our soul before we rush forward into the unfolding story of generations to come.  This chapter of first things establishes principles to govern our interaction with creation.

The word of God carries authority like no other. When God speaks, the matter is settled, and when He speaks, it is in as few words as necessary. God spoke 10 times in Genesis 1 and all of creation is formed in just 282 words. Perhaps what we are told of creation is the abridged edition but God did not need more words to describe His vision nor did He need more time to accomplish His creation. Even...

A woman is like a tea bag, you never know how strong she is until she's in a little hot water.  "Virtue" is the exact same Hebrew word for "valor" - a strong, conquering, victorious person is the biblical mother.

In the beginning God... What was God doing before creation?  What was His intention for creation?  How does God interact with His creation.  Without God in he beginning we are left with speculation.

Junior Souza, missionary to Brazil shared about our good Father and how that worry is a thief that reveals what we value most

What the empty tomb means to us as believers.

The people had come to see a miracle man...

When life is removed from God, man imagines he knows better but Genesis 6:5 every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually. A difficult message for troubling times.

His message from John 17 shares with us the prayer of Jesus calling his followers to be marked by the glory of God, unity, love and joy.  A calling not for the few but for all who trust in the name of Jesus, God’s Son.
