Right now we are living in a time like no other in our life times, nor in the life of our nation. We have stopped our economy and the Government is infusing money to people for survival, but even with that… jobs are being lost every day. Some businesses may not come back when this is over… whenever that…

Intro We have had an interesting couple of years here. First there was a virus we began to hear about and in almost no time, the world shut down. President Trump shut down the borders and had everyone stay home… we along with the rest of the world went into a 2 month lock down… some longer. The isolation…

Simon Peter answered him, “Lord, to whom shall we go? You have the words of eternal life, For my flesh is true food, and my blood is true drink. Whoever feeds on my flesh and drinks my blood abides in me, and I in him. After this many of his disciples turned back and no longer walked with him. So Jesus…

Out of Egypt So Moses returned to the Lord and said, “Lord, why have You brought trouble on this people? Why is it You have sent me? For since I came to Pharaoh to speak in Your name, he has done evil to this people; neither have You delivered Your people at all.” Then the Lord said to Moses, “Now you…

10 Finally, be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power. 11 Put on the full armor of God so that you can take your stand against the devil’s schemes. 12 For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against…

In his book, Your Reactions Are Showing, J. Peterson states, “You may be surprised to learn that your reactions to the situations you face daily may say a great deal more about you than your actions say.” When you open up God’s Word - Do you open up God’s Word? - how do you respond? How do you react?…

In last week’s passage, Jesus had been crucified... 31 Therefore, because it was the Preparation Day, that the bodies should not remain on the cross on the Sabbath (for that Sabbath was a high day), the Jews asked Pilate that their legs might be broken, and that they might be taken away. 32 Then the…

The threat around us 12 Because of the increase of wickedness, the love of most will grow cold, 12 For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms.

Christians and their worship is are a sweet aroma to God.

In Acts 12:1-25, Luke—the author of Acts—shares an important story about a prideful king, a sleeping preacher, and a praying church. Three incredible lessons emerge as we examine this passage: first, God expects His people to look to Him for help in difficult times. We see the church (once again in Acts) praying, instead of pouting, as trouble comes upon them. Secondly, God sustains His people with peace in the midst of trials. Peter—now for the third time in Acts—is in prison...and he’s sleeping! Only a heart resting in God’s grace and sovereignty can catch some “z’s” behind bars. Finally, God will humble man’s foolish pride and cause His word to go to the nations. King Herod is humbled (and eaten by worms) for his boasting and arrogance. God’s word steams on ahead as we’re now poised for Paul’s missionary journeys from Antioch.

Are we thankful for the trials and scars we have?

What do you want?

By the Grace of God we are saved and set apart for Glory.

10 The thief does not come except to steal, and to kill, and to destroy. I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly. 16 For we did not follow cunningly devised fables when we made known to you the power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, but were eyewitnesses of…

The Tired Prophet in 1 Kings 19 , we have the story of Elijah the prophet of God during King Ahab and Queen Jezebel’s time. Elijah had just had a GREAT victory for God, defeating the 450 prophets of Baal. We might imagine this would be the start of a really Awesome series of moves, fixing the Northern…
