Guard Your Heats and Your Thoughts | Short Sermon Series
When something troubles us, it’s often challenging for us to think of anything other than the problem that plagues us. We may ruminate about it, or it may be a nagging thought at the back of our minds that leaves us feeling uncomfortable and that steals our peace.

My Grace Is Sufficient For You | Short Sermon Series
These words were spoken to Paul by God when Paul was given a “thorn in his flesh”, or in his own words, “a messenger of Satan, to torment me” (2 Cor 12:7). Paul shares that he pleaded with God three times to take it away from him, but instead of taking away the torment that Paul was experiencing – God said to Paul, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness”.

Whatever They Do Prospers | Short Sermon Series
“Blessed is the one who does not walk in step with the wicked or stand in the way that sinners take or sit in the company of mockers, but whose delight is in the law of the Lord, and who meditates on his law day and night. That person is like a tree planted by streams of water, which yields its fruit in season and whose leaf does not wither — whatever they do prospers.” Psalm 1:1-3
