How Might God Use This?
Thanks for joining us today as we continue to build upon the content from Sunday’s sermon by revisiting the main idea, exploring unanswered questions, and expanding more in depth into segments of the message. We trust you will be encouraged and challenged by the men and women of faith in Scripture as you see their walk of faith and love for the Lord. God bless! “Meant for Good” (Joseph) CCLI Streaming License # 20229783
Looking Forward to THE DAY
Each week I get a number of emails in my inbox that often have encouraging words, kind of like a short devotional. Today I was particularly encouraged by an email sent to me that reminded me of the words of Paul in Romans 8. It is an encouragement of perspective as we think about what awaits us yet. Oh what a day that will be! CCLI Streaming License # 20229783
Three Tibits on Opposition from Nehemiah 6
Opposition, trials, tribulations, sufferings are not stranger in the Christian life. God tells us that they are tools used to bring out the character of Christ in us as he draws the dross of sin off our lives. In Nehemiah 6, we see the opposition he & the Jews encountered from their enemies and with that three lessons we too can hold on too as we encounter spiritual opposition in our own lives. Thanks for watching!
FAITH, DOUBT, UNBELIEF. WHAT’S THE DIFFERENCE? (JAMES 1)
Wisdom. That we need. But not just any wisdom, specifically wisdom from God. We’re continuing our study of James 1:5-8 from Sunday looking at the difference between faith, doubt, and unbelief which James brings up in the passage. All of this is key to the overall understanding that calls us to seek the wisdom of God to understand how we can have joy in the midst of trials and their benefit. “Social Media Is Not God nor the Bible” –…
SO THAT WE MIGHT RELY ON GOD (JAMES 1)
We are taking a break in Genesis to focus more intentionally on James as we work through it on Sunday mornings and keep that text fresh in our minds. Set aside some time to watch that video from Sunday. Join us today as we seek to gain some perspective on trials, particularly God’s perspective.

FLOURISHING FAITH (2 THESSALONIANS 1)
Flourish. It is a word that we often associate with the greenness of a valley or trees budding in the spring or flowers in their full bloom. It conjures to our minds thoughts of life and growth. Paul describes the Thessalonian’s faith as flourishing. How? Why? And how can that too describe us? Take a moment to read the chapter & watch. 2 Thessalonians 1 NET
GOD DOES CARE FOR YOU (1 PETER 5)
In 1 Peter 5, we find a number of verses that are well known to us. They remind us about the spiritual warfare that is present in our world today that is often in the background and may even by the source of our sufferings. In the midst of these trials and difficulties though, we are reminded that God does care for us. Take a moment to read the passage and then watch this video. 1 Peter 5 NET
