It teaches us how to be strong when we are faced with trials and suffering in our lives. Most of you know the story of Job, a man who suffered greatly. He lost all his possessions and his children, and the only thing that was left in his life was his wife and himself. Then his body was afflicted with many problems and sicknesses. Ultimately, even his wife lost faith and asked him to deny God and die. That was the desperate situation in which Job found himself. Yet, even in the midst of all the afflictions and trials he had to go through, Job stood firm in his faith, knowing that there is a God who would redeem his situation and restore ever...

A Gift Nobody Wants

Many of you probably remember when we did a study of this book. I think Lisa led that study a couple of years ago. James is a very practical book about Christian life. It talks about how our actions are important, not only our faith. James says that faith without works is dead. I know we are saved by faith and faith alone, by the grace of God. That is what we believe. Our works do not save us. No matter how much good we do, our works are always affected by our evil thoughts and desires and, many times, by our selfishness. The Bible teaches us that our righteousness is like filthy rags before God. No matter how m...

From Strength to Strength

He is our shelter in the stormy blast. He is our dwelling place. Here in this psalm, he is talking about a dwelling place that we will be calling home eternally. So it is not only a shelter and a place in this world where we find safety and peace, but also, after our life in this world, we will be in a place that God is preparing for us. That is the greatest hope of the Christian faith: we are going to a destination. Our journey has a destination, and we are looking forward to that place. When we sang the song "Mansion Over the Hilltop," it was a beautiful song. We are just pilgr...

Our Eternal Home

Will good finally triumph over evil? Will death have the last word, or will life ultimately prevail? These are not new questions. Philosophers have wrestled with them for centuries, and every generation has searched for answers. As Christians, we do not face these questions without hope. The Bible teaches us that this present life is not the end of our story. Our earthly life is a precious gift from God, but it is temporary. We were not created merely for this world. We were created for eternity, to live forever in the presence of our Creator. That is why the clo...
