God Has Our Back
Series: No Series
As we read the story of the Israelites escape from Egypt and the crossing of the Red Sea, we see that God not only led the Israelites, but in their great time of need He moved from the front of the group to the rear to protect them from the approaching Egyptian army. Likewise, if we are willing, God will lead us where He wants us to go and when Satan is trying to attack us, He will have our back and be our defender. Exodus 14:1-31 (NKJV)

Sep 10, 2017Bacon and Eggs? (Moving Beyond Ourselves)Series: No SeriesAs Christians, we need to move beyond ourselves in serving, loving, and building relationships. Our goal should be with one mind and one voice to glorify the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.

Each person will one day give an account of themselves to God and He is the one who will judge. We are to love and lead people to know Jesus, and not be a stumbling block to them. Romans 14, Romans 15:1-7 (NKJV)
