Sermon: A Shelter in the Time of Storm
God wants to lift you up above the storm and give you strength.
God wants to lift you up above the storm and give you strength.
Even though we cannot see Him, we can experience the countenance of God and the expression on His face.
Our life is permanently changed by our identification with Jesus on the cross.
What does it mean to stand in grace? How can we stand in something we cannot see?
Holiness is an inward lifestyle that naturally becomes more Godly.
God gives us a spark of hope which generates joy, and joy generates peace, and peace generates more hope, and then we find we have more joy and more peace and more hope.
The most important things are the easiest to ignore.
We have a weak Christianity because everyone wants to follow a Christ of their own making.
The Godliness that used to permeate our society has slowly flipped into a nation of secular humanism.
It’s not a get-rich-quick scheme. If you want God’s blessings, you’ve got to be in right standing with God first.
Our circumstances often determine whether or not we are happy, but remaining in the vine determines whether or not we have joy.
Why should we be focused on the cares of this world when God has us in the palm of his hand and already seated in heavenly places with him?
There’s a difference between critical thinking and being led by the Spirit.
What did God want them to focus on? The land of milk and honey. They found it, but they didn’t.
God understands our situation and He blesses His people in spite of what goes on around us.
And through God’s provision, we can also increase our provision for others.
Heavenly wisdom would tell me to be considerate, submissive, and full of mercy.
God has carefully and intentionally preserved His word for all people, and for all time.
There is a direct correlation between our faith and God’s blessing.
We need to act like a family, whether inside this church or outside; whether fellow Christians go to this church or that church or no church.
Churches are teaching their congregants it’s okay to live like the world, just be good and kind and seek unity because it’s all about being nice and helping people.
In the midst of the cold, bleakness that we see and feel around us, there’s the promise of Spring right around the corner.
We receive the fragrance of God back on us as we pour our worship upon Him.
Trust that not only will it come to pass, but in the meantime, something is being accomplished in the waiting period.
