Stepping out in faith…
As I prepare to write the blog post about our sermon each Sunday, I look over my notes and references from the Bible text. I look to God for his guidance before I start to type and ask him to guide my words. This sermon series has been a tough one personally. When I look …
Why is it that we can’t take God at his word? Time after time in the Bible we see people try to take things into their own hands to make God’s promises happen. When will we realize God doesn’t need our help! He’s God. He can do whatever he pleases. We’ve been in a sermon …
There are consequences that come with sin. As much as we want to think forgiveness means we won’t face consequences, that’s just not true. Sometimes God teaches us a lesson with the consequences we face. He did this with Jacob. Our sermon was from Genesis 29. Jacob was very deceitful by taking his brother’s birthright …
We can plan our life out the way we think it should be. But, what is God’s plan for your life? How can you ever really know what His plan is if you don’t communicate with him? Are you happy with where you are right now? It may be painful because of your past, but …

Many of you know the story of Esau and Jacob. The way that Jacob tricked Esau into giving up his birthright for a bowl of lentil stew because he was famished. Let’s take a look at what the scripture says about it. 23 The Lord said to her, “Two nations are in your womb, and …

Where are you going to put your can? Can God do anything? God can do anything. Same four words. Entirely different meanings. One is a question, the other a statement. Keep this in mind. We'll come back to it. We're in Genesis 6:5-21 this week and God sees that man is wicked. Things on earth …
