Faith Is…
King David lived through grief after grief, and yet God did not abandon him. Consider Absalom, his sinful behavior, and his ultimate rebellion against his father. And then consider David and his love for his son. Sinful and sobering is a story of selfishness and love. And then consider the church. Why are people drifting away from the church, and how should we think about it? How does God challenge us through these challenging times?
When someone is forgiven for their offensive behavior, do they get away with it? When we forgive the people who sinned against us, are we letting them off the hook? King David sinned and hurt many people. God forgave him. Does that mean he got away with it? Do you have enough confidence in God to forgive even when it feels like you’re letting your offender get away with it?
Today, we look at the motto of a fool. The Bible calls a person with this motto a fool. Do not adopt this motto! Do not. You don’t want God calling you a fool! Instead, you want what God offers . . . restoration. The Lord restores. May he restore you today…
We live in a world where people disagree! Have you heard a more obvious statement? Now people are starting to ask the important question. Can we ever be reconciled with each other? God says, “Yes!” Let’s explore His solution this week on FAITH IS…
What do we do when God acts out? How do we respond when God does something we can’t quite comprehend? How can we have confidence in God when he seems to overreact? Today we discover that God expects our reverence and wants his commands to become our convictions. Listen in to Pastor Rick Stevens on FAITH IS on America Out Loud…
Yes, a church played a key part in the skirmish at Lexington, MA. So let’s remember our history; our rights come from God. Let’s remember biblical history; civil and religious liberty are God’s ideas. Let’s defend liberty and expect our government to preserve our rights…
I love questions… so let’s think out loud and answer a few. Did Jesus tell one man to give everything away? Is that what he expects of us? When it comes to eternal life, one person wanted to know if being saved is enough? What about fear? Where does it come from, and what do we do about it?
Everyone loves an underdog. Well, until God asks us to be that underdog! Today we consider the story of David and Goliath. Today we discover that God wants you to step up and be his champion.
The Bible is full of great stories, and today we consider Samuel anointing David as king. That anointing changed David’s life. Interestingly most of us don’t think of ourselves as anointed. Even so, the New Testament is clear; God gives us gifts of grace and anointing to serve him. Discover the joy! Discover the gift! God has chosen, anointed you!
As American Christians, what should we be doing to fight the evil taking over our nation? What is the difference between the community sharing of the early church and today’s socialist ideals? Why are there so many different versions of the Bible?
What do you do when you stand in the presence of a holy God? How do you respond in the presence of God and realize you are ruined? Where do you turn for help? And then can you, will you, step up for God? Yes, let’s accept God’s challenge, “Here am I, send me.”
Confusion at Babel. Fire and smoke on Sinai. Dry bones living again. God has consistently amazed us, and it happened again at Pentecost. Why are we so distracted by languages or, as we sometimes say, tongues? Why not focus on the obvious and understandable? Where we might expect confusion, God brings understanding. Plus, God gave his people exactly what they needed to keep his command to announce the Good News. Maybe he’s eager to do the same for us!
Why are you downcast? Why are you in the dumps? Why are you crying the blues? Look up! The Ascension of Jesus reminds us to look up and keep looking up. He wants us to keep our eyes on Him and keep a smile on our faces. We can and have changed lives and forgiveness from sin!
How do we solve a moral problem? The turmoil of our times cries out for a solution. When we face a moral problem, we need a moral solution; a solution from God. God has given us a path from division to unity. Let’s follow it!
