We all delight in taking delight. That’s how God made us. So, if you think about it, if God made us to experience delight and God gave us all this great stuff to delight in, then maybe He’s worth taking delight in!

The Story of God: The Moriah Test
August 2, 2016
Sometimes your journey of faith will be a lonely journey. Abraham has no companions to encourage him; no friends who understood what God was asking of him. All he had to go on was a lifetime of God’s faithfulness to him. And sometimes that’s all we will have. Sometimes God may put you in a place where you’ve got no one to trust but Him.
The Story of God: The Promise Keeper
July 25, 2016
At times of great distress we need to be reminded of God’s promises to us. God is encouraging Abraham with hope. Things may look bleak right now. You may feel helpless right now. You may even want to scream out and say, ”You don’t know how I feel right now. You don’t know how miserable I am.” You only see the darkness. You don’t see the light at the end of the tunnel. But mark this: God’s promises are the light at the end of the tunnel. God’s promises are our hope.
The Story of God: A Good News Bad News Kinda Day
July 11, 2016
God is not absent from the pain and suffering of our world. He did not just get this world going and leave it to its own devices. He cares about the injustice, evil and moral decay that is spiraling out of control in our land. He hears the anguished cries of wives who’ve lost their spouses, of children who’ve lost their fathers, of brothers and sisters like you and me who grieve over evil, who fear for their children and grandchildren.

Supernatural Community

Our bond is not found in our shared experience of coming to worship services, being part of a Journey Group or some other kind of religious activity. That’s not what binds us together. That’s not what makes us different. What makes us different is our forgiveness found in our faith in Jesus. For once we are forgiven God puts His Spirit in us. We are forgiven forever, perfected by Jesus to be the dwelling place of His Spirit.
The Story of God: Raising The Bar
June 28, 2016
For Abraham and his household receiving circumcision was an act of obedience that (1) showed you were trusting in God’s promises, (2) declared you were identifying as His people and (3) said you were choosing to live set-apart for God’s purposes to bless the world.
The Story of God: The God Who Sees
June 28, 2016
This story should give us pause. It should make us think twice about doing an end run on God’s will. It should make us think twice about the disappointments and delays we face in life. God had a good reason for delaying the child of promise through Abram. And God just may have a good reason for delaying some of His purposes in your life.
The Story of God: Friend of God
June 18, 2016
Today we live with a lot of uncertainty. Our economy is fickle. Our future as a great nation is not guaranteed. Even our Christian faith regularly comes under attack. These things can make us fearful. But God says to us over and over again in Scripture: Do not fear, I am your shield and your very great reward. His presence calms our fears. His peace shields our hearts. His love for us is perfect. And His perfect love drives out all fear. With Him we are safe, no matter what the future holds.
