A Call to Arms
Continuing the ending theme of Acts 14, we take a look at the conditions of our present culture, and label it almost post-Christian. In the face of increasing antagonism and opposition to the presence and influence of the kingdom of God in our world, how do we respond? Are we living in what could be defined as the Great Tribulation and if so how do we survive? Some lessons from Nehemiah help us to prepare to endure a most difficult time in our history.

What's your first reaction when life looks grim?
Sometimes our plans don't quite work out, sometimes we wonder why on earth God lets some things happen. What do we do then? What should we do then?

Just Walk Across the Room (part 3)
This Sunday begins week three of our four week “Walk Across The Room” journey. It has been an amazing journey, so many of you have shared with me the incredible stories of what it has meant for you to respond to the nudging of the Holy Spirit and leave your comfort circle, step out in faith, walk across a room and begin to develop a profound relationship with someone who needs to know that God created them, loves them and has an awesome purpose for their life. What a blessing it has been to hear your stories. This Sunday we will address the following consideration, “are there right words to use when sharing God’s story? Is there a right way to tell our personal faith story?”

An Invitation To Miracles
Jeremiah lived in tough times. His people had been taken captive. His message was totally rejected. He was incarcerated in the court of the prison at Jerusalem. Still Encouragement for God’s servant. A good word for the weeping prophet. Having reminded His beleaguered prophet of His mighty presence in V.2, God invites him to a life of miracles He invites Jeremiah to call on Him and He would answer. Moreover, in so doing, He would show him great and mighty things which he heretofore did not understand. FRIENDS – Although this promise was made to Jeremiah in his time of distress, the promise remains for God’s people to this day. In Christ, we can call upon God and He will answer and show us miraculous things, including things which we have not before understood. • At hand is one of the greatest promises in God’s Word to His people through the ages. IT IS PRAYER THAT BRINGS MIRACLES INTO OUR LIVES!

Mission to Corinth: I have many people in this city
As the gospel enters difficult places there is always a collision of values, and there is usually fruit. That was true in each strategic city Paul entered on his second missionary journey (Philippi, Athens, Corinth and Ephesus). Corinth was one of the most difficult places Paul had ever been. After a short time of ministry there he was overwhelmed and almost ready to give up. He had never encountered anything so difficult. Yet in the midst of his difficulty, God gave him encouragement to keep going, just as He does for us today.

Discouragement
When things are going well, it is easy to maintain a positive attitude and a can do spirit. However, when reversals come our positive outlook may wither and be replaced with discouragement. The unfortunate thing is that it is very hard to help ourselves once we get caught in its grasp because we lose perspective. Where is hope to be found? 1Kings 18; 1Kings 19; Heb 10:23-25

Trash Talkin'
What are we doing today to share words that build people up rather than tear people down? James offers wisdom regarding the hurtful power of the tongue. We are encouraged to stop talkin' trash and instead start sharing words that will build the Kingdom of God.

There is purpose in our pain
This Sunday’s message is one of encouragement for those who anguish, agonize, hurt, question, don’t know, or don’t understand. On Sunday we discover that because we are a part of something cosmic and eternal, our suffering matters more than we can imagine.
