2 Chronicles 14-16

Joshua 1

Philippians 4:1-8, Matthew 11:28-30

The book of Philippians has a common theme of Joy throughout the book.  We all face anxiety and worry in this life but what do we do when we experience those things. Paul instructed the church at Philippi on how to handle those emotions in chapter 4.

As Christians we can tend to get fascinated in learning about the end times which is a good thing.  However, we can sometimes focus on the wrong things and instead we need to know what we are to do while we are waiting for the Lord's return.  Paul tells us in 1 Thessalonians 3 what we are to do while we are waiting.  

Powerful message on dying to self and living for Jesus.

In Acts 19 the Apostle Paul makes a return trip to Ephesus and encounters twelve disciples where he asks them if they had received the Holy Spirit since they believed.  I believe if the Apostle Paul were here today he would ask that same question of some Christians today.  There was something lacking in the disciples that led to that question being asked.  Oftentimes there are Christians who don't...

Jeremiah 38

When we feel like we hit rock bottom we can handle it in one of three ways.  We take a look at Jeremiah 38 and see that we can either stand in faith, fight, or give up.  As believers we should only do one of the three. 

This week we discuss how you can be in the will of God and opposition still come to make you feel like you hit rock bottom.  Despite the opposition we face we can look at the example of Paul and Silas in Acts 16 and in the moments of trials we can pray and praise.  

There may have been a time or two in our lives we felt like we hit rock bottom.  What do we do when we hit rock bottom?  There is always hope because as Jesus prayed for Peter that his faith would not fail him, Jesus has prayed for us.  Peter may have faltered, but his faith did not fail him.  There is a sifting we all will go through but we must seek the Lord during that sifting.

Matthew 20:20-28, Luke 12:51-53, Matthew 19:16-30

John 6 is a chapter that can be overlooked when reading the dialogue between Jesus and the disciples.  Jesus had more than twelve disciples and John 6:66 tells us that "many" walked away and walked with Him no more.  How different is the interaction in John 6 in comparison to the modern culture of the church.  Many followed Jesus for what He could do for them, but Jesus wanted them to enter into c...

Last week we talked about how Jesus described the times of the end of the age where events will take place.  This week we go over how Paul describes the condition of man in the last days.  We have been in the last days since Christ's ascension, but perilous times happen when the the condition of man grows worse.  We are seeing the hearts of man played out right before our eyes as Paul described in...

There are different natural disasters and events taking place in our country and throughout the world.  As Christians we can find ourselves getting alarmed or frightened by the things we see or hear about, but Jesus tells us to not be troubled.  Christ warned us that these things would happen in the last days.  This message is a reminder as God's children to not be troubled. Matthew 24, 1 John 2:1...

In 2 Corinthians 5:7 Paul tells the church in Corinth that despite all the obstacles they faced in their journey to minister the Gospel they could keep going because they were walking by faith and not by sight.  Walking by sight is the opposite of walking by faith. When we walk by sight we are not pleasing to God.  10 of the 12 spies walked by sight but despite getting ready to be stoned Joshua an...

Unfortunately, fear seems to be considered a sin among Christians which causes some to lie about the fear they experience.  We are not to embrace fear, but we don't ignore it either.  Many great people in the Bible such as Moses, Daniel, Joshua, David, and Paul experienced fear.  Yet, some in the church are frowned upon when they admit they experience fear.  Fear is NOT the opposite of faith, but...
