Trust and rejoice in His faithfulness and make sure the future generations don’t forget!

Seek opportunities for Him to use you and live in the light of the victory He’s promised!

One Goal, Many Gifts - Acts 18:18-28

From the series "To the End of the Earth" Acts 18:18-28 - Wed, June 16, 2010. A football team is made up of many uniquely gifted athletes. You wouldn’t ask a lineman to kick a field goal – that’s the kicker’s job. It’s similar in the church. Each person is uniquely gifted, and just like that football team, we want to unite and use our abilities for one common goal. Take the Gospel to the end of the Earth!

From the series "God Is Nowhere." Esther 7 - Sat, June 12, 2010. We love when justice is served for the bad guy. When it comes to our own issues though, we like to stick with God’s grace and mercy. Wherever sin dwells, God wants to use YOU to defeat it. It may be around you, but it may also be inside you. Wherever the sin lies, it’s time to get rid of it and commit your life to Christ. Victory is guaranteed for God’s friends; defeat is guaranteed for His foes.

When you feel like quitting, remember that God has a plan behind the pain.

When God Intervenes - Esther 6

From the series "God Is Nowhere." Esther 6 - Sat, June 5, 2010. Big errors are easy to catch, but it’s the tiny misspelled words and punctuation errors that are the easiest to miss. Thankfully, our God deals in the details. Nothing gets by God. When the timing is just right, God will intervene and justice will be served. For God’s people, that’s a promise to cling to. For God’s enemies, that’s a promise to fear. Take hope: God WILL intervene!

Loving the Lost - Acts 17:16-34

From the series "To the End of the Earth" Acts 17:16-34 - Wed, May 2, 2010. The world has flashing lights and the look of fun that goes with Las Vegas. As Christians, however, we need to have eyes to see past the entertainment to the problem: sin. We need to understand the world’s need for hope and our many opportunities to share it. Love the Lost by being bold and uncompromising with the Gospel!

From the series "God Is Nowhere." Esther 5 - Sat, May 29, 2010. With any game, there are different strategies that can be employed to win.
