Mary Did You Know?

December 24, 2017

This beautiful picture of God favoring Mary, of God conceiving His Son in the womb of a virgin, changes everything. God is not indifferent to our plight. One of the most common questions about the evil that is so prevalent in our world is this: “Why didn’t God do something to stop or prevent that evil from happening?” Well the miracle of the virgin birth proves that He did. God’s Son entered our world through the womb of a humble country girl. Jesus was born in a dirty stable on the backside of a forgotten little town. He gave up the riches of heaven to come and experience life just like us. He moved into the neighborhood, and served the unloved, the broken hearted, and the nobodies of this world, all the while knowing that one day He would be crucified at the hands of wicked men, so that through His death, he could put an end to evil.  

The Story of God: Wrestling With God

June 11, 2017

Jacob prays out of his relationship with God, the God who is for him. He comes to Him in humility and asks nothing more from God then do what He promises. He gives credit to God for all he has. And he’s honest: He admits his fears to God. Oh that we’d learn to be this honest with God like this: to pour out our fears, our burdens, our doubts – whatever. Jacob literally lays all his burdens at the feet of God. Jacob’s knows he’s come out of the frying pan and into the fire, and only God can rescue him. This is a great prayer… and it’s the kind of prayer God loves to answer.

The Story of God: The Showdown

June 6, 2017

Now, don’t get me wrong, Jacob was not a model citizen; he has spent most of his life looking out for number one. But today Jacob is at a crossroads. He’s come to the place where he’s had enough of Uncle Laban’s tricks. He’s come to the place where he’s tired of Laban’s games. It’s time to put up or shut up. Jacob’s taken it from Laban long enough. For today he’s going to step up and be the man God’s called him to be, and we’re going to see just what got into Jacob that gave him the confidence to stand up to Laban.
