As a parent, school starting, always felt like someone had dumped the toy box out on the floor. Our life was good, lots of blessings, but I couldn’t appreciate it for the confusion.

Bring your pencil and paper or open up the notes on your phone because this one will get practical.

Summer Current: Encouraging Courage
June 16, 2024 • Pastor Doyle Jackson • John 1:6–14, Genesis 17:1–8, Romans 9:6–17
It is not easy to be a parent. We live in a world that has downgraded fathers. God doesn't have that opinion. We call God our Father in Heaven. We should take courage in that alone. Secondly, he was the one who makes us fathers. He give us our children. Father's rest in the fact that God is with you. Children and Salvation are a Gift of God. You are not alone! Prayer Lord, I am no longer my own, but Yours. Put me to what You will, rank me with whom You will. Let me be employed by You or laid aside for You, exalted for You or brought low by You. Let me have all things, let me have nothing, I freely and heartily yield all things to Your pleasure and disposal. And now, O glorious and blessed God, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, You are mine and I am Yours. So be it. Amen. —John Wesley

The Tribe of Issachar had a difficult start but the had a unique perspective and a prime location which provided a strategic advantage. Let's learn together.
