Do Not Profane The Holy—pt 1
We profane the Holy when we gripe and complain about the circumstances God brings into our lives to change us and bring us into a more intimate relationship with Him. The message ends with four steps we can apply in the middle of our trial.

The Lord is My Shepherd Part 3
King David continues to teach us about how God loves us by using the illustration of a shepherd taking care of his flock of sheep. Shepherds had to prepare fields to remove poisonous plants and they would anoint the sheep with oil to ward of harmful insects. God looks after us in a similar way as He provides for our needs and watches over us. It is amazing to know that the God who rules over the whole universe cares for insignificant creatures like us. We should celebrate this care and then love other people with the same kind of care that God has shown to us.

The Lord is My Shepherd Part 2
Sheep are powerless to fend off predators so a good shepherd must be skilled in fighting so that he can protect his flock from harm. The Bible teaches us that God is the shepherd of those who believe in Him, so they have the most powerful being in the universe as their protector, and the wisest being in the universe as their guide. This does not mean that God will never lead His children into difficult circumstances or make their life easy and comfortable, but instead it means that when we go through circumstances as dark as death itself that He is right there beside us to protect us and guide us through them, and this should be a source of tremendous comfort and hope in the midst of trying times.

The Resurrection On Trial
Every year we get together and we say Christ is Risen, He is Risen Indeed. While this confession is common within the Christian community, the world questions the certainty of our confession. In this message we will put the Resurrection on Trial. Did Jesus really rise from the dead, or did His fanatical followers steal his body and tell the world He is Risen?

When God Allows Brokenness in Our Lives
Jesus was asked of the man born blind if the man or his parents sinned that he was born blind. Jesus answered neither but he was born blind that God may be glorified. Scripture tells us that God is in control and knows what is happening and allows the difficulties in our lives to test our faith and to build his character in us.

Rejoice with Joy Unspeakable / Stay in the boat.
The faith of many is being tested right now. We need to rejoice, because the testing of our faith is good for us. It means there’s something the enemy is trying to keep us from. It helps strengthen us. Those who are not being tested need to be agreeing with those who are that they will receive that for which they are believing. We need to stay in joy. God will come though for us. Stay in faith. Stay in the boat, in joy. Joy is the boat. There’s no triumph without a trial, no victory without a battle. But the battle is the Lord’s. Don’t give up, you’re almost there.
