Mind of Christ
Series: No Series
Before you can deal with matters on the outside, you must first deal with matters on the inside: your mind, will, and emotions. Is there anything (bitterness, anger, frustration, resentment, anxiety, unforgiveness, or feelings of entitlement) that would make God uncomfortable to reside in your heart? (1 Corinthians 2:6-16, 2 Corinthians 5:16 HCSB)

Oct 23, 2016The Good, The Bad, The Ugly/Joseph vs. JudahSeries: No SeriesBrother Mike contrasts Joseph and his brother, Judah. Joseph was a man who followed God, even though he had been betrayed by his brothers and sold into slavery. He trusted that God had a plan for his life, no matter what the circumstances. Judah, a free man, thwarted God’s will in marrying a Canaanite woman and raising ungodly sons. Yet, Judah repented and turned back to God. So who did God choose for the lineage of Christ? Surprisingly it was Judah. In choosing Judah, God gave us a message of hope and shows us that He can use imperfect people to accomplish His perfect will. (Genesis 37-39 NKJV)

Oct 16, 2016Danger: ExpectationsSeries: No SeriesExpectations can lead to disappointment when we attempt to put God in a box and limit Him to our expectations.

Expectancy leads to hope and hope does not disappoint when that hope is place in God and His promises. (Luke 7:19-23; Mark 6:1-5; Matthew 20:10; Philippians 1: 20; Romans 5:5 NKJV)
