One Month to Live Pt. 4 - Learn Humbly from Failure
We all experience times where it seems our lives are crashing . . . where the wheels are coming off the track. We may find ourselves in a head-on collision in marriage, finances, morals, business, or some other arena of life. Jesus calls us to learn humbly from our failures, and to allow him to use our greatest weaknesses to show himself strong in our lives.

Nehemiah "Building Lives" Part 3
We need to be specific in asking and meeting vows to God. Much of what we do is for market reasons over what God has told us.The question isn't will this relation work. But will this relationship enjoy all the blessings God has for us. Christianity is not for the weak. But is easier than serving in the world.

We Will Not Fear
Psalm 46 has been called a battle hymn for believers in God. The issue of fear is in the forefront of Psalm 46. Fear is certainly one of the most primal emotions and it's been in the news a lot lately. There is no doubt some people are fearful about the economy but maybe your biggest fear is something else completely. We've had people this year discover a lump on their body and find out it's cancer and it's serious and they are in for a battle like nothing they have ever experienced before. There are a lot of things that can cause worry, anxiety or outright fear. But here's a Psalm that faces all the things that can go wrong and yet clearly says "We will not fear".

I Can Do All Things Through Christ Who Gives Me Strength
When Paul says he can do everything, he is referring to his ability to exit in all types of material circumstances – wealth or poverty, abundant food or no food, and so forth. The source of Paul’s ability to exist successfully in all circumstances is his union with Christ. This is Paul’s secret. Paul tells the Philippians not to be anxious, that is “stop worrying.†To worry is to display a lack of confidence in God’s care and in God’s control over the situation. Paul uses three synonyms in a row (prayer, petition, requests) to describe the alternative to anxiety. Instead of worrying, a person ought to converse with directly with God and lay out before Him all that is on one’s mind, confident that God will hear and respond. The result will be that God will meet all our needs.

Resurrection Guaranteed (Romans 8:11)
Paul encourages us in three ways in this passage. First, he reminds us that the Holy Spirit -- God himself, in all his power -- indwells us, is near to us. Second, he points to Christ's resurrection to remind us just what power this Spirit has. Finally, Christ's own resurrection is promised to us -- both in our future resurrection and glorification, and also in power and strength and joy as we persevere in this life and daily encounter our mortality.
