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

Knowing Jesus and Making Jesus Known

Knowing Jesus and Making Jesus Known The primary vision behind the Christian faith can be simplified down to the following statement; "to KNOW Jesus and to make Jesus KNOWN."  Knowing Jesus and Making Jesus Known, that’s really what our Christian faith is all about.  The verse that has inspired the first part of this this saying “ to KNOW JESUS and to make Him Known”, is found in Philippians 3:10, which illustrates the apostle Paul’s heart for wanting to know Jesus more and more through pressing on daily in his relationship with Him. Paul tells us in Philippians 3:10, “that I may KNOW Him and the power of His resurrection, and the fellowship of His sufferings, being conformed to His death.”  This was Paul’s greatest desire in life, to become more like Jesus... by being conformed into His image, and the only way that this could take place was if he continued growing in his relationship with Jesus. In fact, Paul would continue on in Philippians 3, by saying, “N

Sermon Outline When Jesus is your only option; you’re in a good place! John 5:1-15   I.                 Introduction:  Jeremiah’s faith a.      The reason I have that slide up of a blue car, is because last October around Jeremiah’s 7 th birthday, Lyndsey was sharing a heartwarming story with me about a conversation she had with Jeremiah that day. You see, Jeremiah had asked her for a stamp, and when Lyndsey asked him why, he said, “I want to mail a letter to the car people.” Lyndsey didn’t think much about it, but then a couple hours later she found the envelope, and she asked what it was. She said to Jeremiah, “It feels like money is in the envelope.” Jeremiah said, “It is money. I am going to mail  the letter to the car people so that I can buy my favorite colored car.  I want to send them the letter with my money so I can get a blue car.” Jeremiah had found one of the car dealership mailers that came with the junk mail, and took it over to his desk and put it all together to send h
