Sermons About Plan
Following Christ -- Ephesians 3:1-13
Paul reveals part of what was formerly a "mystery" -- how God's plan involved bringing both Jews and Gentiles together into the Church. This view of God's plan affected Paul's approach to his ministry and should affect ours as well -- especially in times as fraught with hardship and opportunity as those in which we're living now.

God's Plan For Your Life
We may face many situations in our life where the outlook looks grim. We can't but help think it couldn't possibly improve when we're in it. But in situations like this, we often forget the sovereignty of God; that He is still in control. Peter uses the story of Joseph to illustrate that God is indeed in control of the circumstances and trials we endure. There is a difference between our perspective and God's perspective.

The Pity Party
The plan of God doesn't always settle well in our spirit and we wonder why His plan doesn't conform to our wishes. The plan of God for Nineveh gives us a glimpse of the bigger picture of God. Jonah was having a pity party because of the way God had acted while Nineveh was having a party because of the pity the Lord had shown them.

My Story & HiStory - #1 (10/5/08)
Stan talks about where our story intersects with God's story. He asks us "What is your story?" and "What is your role in His story?" If we look back over our lives, we can see moments where our lives intersected God's plan.

Celebrating God's Goodness
After Hannah is blessed with the birth of Samuel, she dedicates him and then offers a prayer of thanksgiving to God. She rejoices over his deliverance, rests in his control, trusts in his knowledge of her situation, and hopes in God’s plan. We are encouraged to do all those things as well, but the focus of the passage is the “anointed one,” Jesus Christ.

WIth - With Stupid
I'm with Stupid: Your parents told you not to call anyone stupid but the truth is we all are pretty stupid when it comes to relationships. Joseph's story reminds us that God is with us and can redeem the stupid things that have been done to us and that we have done to others.

Biblical Principals for Success
Everyone wants to be successful at the things that they try to do in this life and the books written on how to be more successful are too numerous to count. The Bible calls us to strive for success as God defines it, not as the world defines it, and the story of David defeating Goliath is an excellent example of success achieved God’s way. David knew that the specific purpose of his life, as it is for the rest of us, was to proclaim and demonstrate the greatness of God to those around him. David also knew that God had been preparing him for success in this battle through the previous fights that God had brought him through. David acknowledged that it was God who gave him the means to be successful and not his own strength and ability. David had also thought through the obstacles he might face and had a plan for overcoming them.

God of this City
Greater things are yet to come, for He is the God of this city..." We believe that here at oneChurch. We believe that god is in control, and HIs plans are so much bigger than our plans. During the past year, we have seen God move and do remarkable things. To the prodigal child coming home to the marriage that was healed after an affair-- God is still moving because He has a plan for Clarksville. He has a plan for our church. He has a plan for you.
