do you struggle with anxiety?

-

If you struggle with anxiety or worry, you are no different that 140 million americans who combat this deadly and overwhelming paralyzer each day. However, God's promise to us is that He will keep in "PERFECT PEACE", those whose minds are steadfast on Him (Isaiah 26:3). The Bible tells us that Jesus is our "PEACE" (Ephesians 2:14), and in Him we are "COMPLETE" (Colossians 2:10).

If you are not experiencing the peace of God through your relationship with Jesus Christ, whose peace is a product of all who are His according to Galatians 5:22, then I pray that this message on overcoming anxiety will not only minister to you, but that it will inspire you, and permanently transform you. That is what our God does, He transforms hearts and minds and makes us whole (Romans 12:1-2).

Before you listen to the voice of the enemy telling you, "Don't listen to this, you've already tried to go to God for help, it doesn't work! He doesn't hear you! He won't help you!" Just remember that Jesus delivered a man with over 2,000 demons inside of him, and 2,000 powerfully persuasive voices telling him that he was a lost cause. In fact the Bible tells us that he was tormented day and night (Mark 5:5), and when Jesus had delivered him, the Bible gives witness that this man was now "in his RIGHT MIND" (Mark 5:15).

That is God's desire for you as well, that your life would be transformed because of your relationship with Him. Jesus promises you that "nothing is impossible with God if you will only believe" (Mark 10:27). So take a step of faith this day, and "Cast all your cares upon Him, because He cares for you" (1 Peter 5:7). Jesus says, "Come to Me... and I will give you rest for your soul" (Matthew 11:28-30).

May the Lord bless you and keep you and cause His face to shine upon you, as you continue to follow after the one who has given us eternal life.

What is godless chatter?

What is godless chatter? The term godless chatter is used by the apostle Paul when he exhorts Timothy to, “Avoid godless chatter, because those who indulge in it will become more and more ungodly. Their teaching will spread like gangrene. Among them are Hymenaeus and Philetus, who have wandered away from the truth. They say that the resurrection has already taken place, and they destroy the faith of some” (2 Timothy 2:16-18, NIV). In context, this passage of Scripture is dealing with the godless chatter of false teachers who were sneaking into the church and trying to corrupt the truth of God’s Word (2 Timothy 2:14-3:9). Paul clearly warns Timothy about them when he points them out by saying, “Their teaching will spread like gangrene” (2:17). Paul likens the godless chatter of false teachers to gangrene, which was a deadly disease that spread rapidly and ate away at a persons flesh. This Greek idiom truly emphasizes the repulsiveness of the ministry of the false

I.       Introduction: On June 25, 1967 the BBC (British Broadcasting Corporation) commissioned the Beatles to write a song for the United Kingdom’s contribution to a T.V. show, called Our World, which was the first live global television link. The Beatles were asked to write and perform a song that would contain a simple message to be understood by all nations. What was the song that they wrote? “Love is all you need.” And with that song the Beatles struck a nerve that was felt around the world, as it hit home in the heart of over 400 million television viewers. After playing this song to over 400 million viewers, they quickly released it in the UK, where it soared to the top of the charts to number 1, and then after that they released the song in the US where it also reached number 1 on the billboard charts. The concept of love reaches down into the deepest part of almost every human being’s heart and soul. It has such an appeal to the human race that Amazon has over 245,000 books w

1 John 3:18-24 Conquering Condemnation Pastor Jason Stewart I.       Introduction:    A little boy visiting his grandparents was given his first slingshot. He practiced in the woods, but he could never hit his target. As he came back to Grandma's back yard, he noticed her pet duck, and like a sniper quietly approached the duck, not really believing he would hit the duck of course, as he hadn’t hit anything he was aiming at all day. However, as this young sniper approached this poor unsuspecting duck, he took aim and let his rock fly. Wouldn’t you know it, the rock ended up hitting the duck right on the head, and as the duck fell dead, the little sniper panicked. He then desperately began trying to hide the dead duck before Grandma found out, and so he buried it in a nearby woodpile, only to look up and see his sister watching. Sally had seen it all, but she said nothing. After lunch that day, Grandma said, "Sally, let's wash the dishes." But Sally said, "Johnny t
