What You Don't Know About The Presidential Candidates

In this primary season, as no other in my memory, the stands of the presidential candidates on issues of importance to a Christian have been very difficult to determine. Even though there is broad agreement among Christians on a great number of moral issues, there has been no agreement on the best presidential candidate who supports those positions. National Christian leaders seem as confused as rank and file Christians, one endorsing one candidate, one another and some not knowing who to endors...

Living Your Dream

Today, we are concluding our message series "Dealing with Difficulties." In this series, we've looked at how the Bible teaches us to handle the tough times that we all have to face. As we finish the series, I hope you've noticed that we are now not just focusing on difficulties. Last Sunday, we talked about "The Joy of Thanksgiving." As you focus on God and His power through thanksgiving, you gain strength and joy to face life's difficulties.Today, I've entitled the message "Living Your Dream." ...

The Joy Of Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving is almost here. Thanksgiving is a time for family and food. Lots of it, turkey, dressing, cranberry sauce and pumpkin pie. God has given us both family and food to enjoy, yet I believe there is something else He wants us to learn this Thanksgiving. It's a lesson that is not just for one day of the year, but something you can practice every day. Thanksgiving is not meant to be about us, it's meant to be about God. He's the one that we are to thank. He's the one that we are to be tha...

Becoming An Overcomer

It seems to me that these days a lot of people are overwhelmed with life. What I mean is that just the task of making an income and holding together a family is too much for many people. The average credit card debt is $10000 per family and rising, despite most families having two wage earners. On the relationship front, about 50% of marriages end up in divorce. One of the current presidential frontrunners is on his third marriage, as is his current wife. My point is that the simple things of li...

Finding Courage In Crisis

The dictionary defines courage as "the ability to face danger, difficulty, uncertainty, or pain without being overcome by fear or being deflected from a chosen course of action." Do you have courage? Are you a courageous person? The only way that you know for sure that you have courage is when you face a difficulty, danger or crisis in life. How you respond to a crisis will determine how much courage you have. Todd Beamer was a passenger on board Flight 92 on September 11, 2001 when it was hijac...

Defeating Depression

Currently we're in a message series called "Dealing with Difficulties." What I trust we're learning is that no matter what difficulty you're facing in your life, there is hope. God is bigger than any mountain you may be up against in your life. God's Word, the Bible, has all the answers you need to live the life God created you to live. NLT 2 Peter 1:3 As we know Jesus better, His divine power gives us everything we need for living a godly life. Circle that word "everything." Everything you nee...

Overcoming Failure

Currently, we're in a message series called "Dealing With Difficulties." We're talking about what the Bible has to say about dealing with the difficulties that we all face in life. Those difficulties loom in front of us like mountains to be climbed and overcome. God doesn't want to see you overcome by difficulties, He wants to see you successful in life. Success in God's eyes does not depend on making a lot of money or making it to the top in your career. Success in God's eyes is found by fulfil...

Finding Peace Of Mind

Today, my message is called "Finding Peace Of Mind." What is peace of mind? Peace of mind is not something that comes when every conflict in your life is resolved or every stressful situation is a thing of the past. That's how some people seek peace of mind. They think that if only their difficulties in life were fixed, then they would have peace of mind. The problem is that we live on earth, not in heaven. Difficulties are simply part of everyone's life, you can't escape them.So then, how can ...

Coping With Stress

Life is certainly not easy, it can be like mountain climbing. Just when you thought things were going to get easier, another mountain looms in front of you. Those mountains are the difficulties that God allows into our lives. Everyone one of us has at least one difficult mountain that we've got to climb over to move on in our lives. This morning we start a new message series which I've entitled "Dealing With Difficulties." If God allows those difficult mountains to come into our lives, doesn't i...

Today, I'm going to talk about "Resisting Quitting." Ever felt like quitting? People quit for all kinds of reasons. Might be that waiting in the line at the checkout counter is just taking too long, so they put their stuff down and leave. Maybe someone is in some kind of relationship and things aren't going well, so they break off the relationship, whether a friendship or a marriage.

Faith That Wins

Currently we’re in a message series called “Faith Workout.” In this series we’re talking about real faith. I use the term real faith because not all so-called faith is real. There are a lot of religions in the world: Christianity, Islam, Hinduism, Buddhism, and the list could go on and on. Is the faith of all these religions the same? Is it real faith that connects to God? The answer is “no.” Christianity is unique among the religions of the world in teaching real faith.In all the ot...

Your Workout Manual

Currently we’re in a message series called “Faith Workout.” A lot of people think that faith is just about something that you believe in. For example, someone might say “I believe in Jesus” and by that statement, they mean that they believe that a man named Jesus lived 2000 years ago. That’s not what the Bible is talking about when it talks about faith. No, faith involves a commitment to whatever we believe in. That faith commitment is worked out in the actions of our lives.

Discerning God's Voice

Today, I am concluding our July message series, which I’ve called “How To Hear God Speak.” In this series, we’ve been talking about prayer as not just one-way, but two-way communication. Prayer is not just about asking God for things, it is about a relationship in which God speaks to His children. If you believe that God is speaking to you about a direction for your life, then the wise thing to do is to do what He is saying. But how do you know if it really was God speaking to you? If it...

It’s very important to be able to hear your heavenly Father speak to you. Just imagine what trouble your children would have in life if they couldn’t hear you speak to them.
