Overcoming Adversity Series: God in the Storm
April 16, 2024
Transcript: Why does God allow us to go through the storms of life? One reason is to increase our faith because when we see His power and presence in those storms we realize that He is there. Hello, I’m Sam Rohrer with another Stand in the Gap Minute. The disciples of Jesus once found themselves in a boat during a storm and they feared for their lives. Where was Jesus? He was asleep -in the same boat. They woke him and urged Him to help. Jesus’ response was perfect. Why do you fear? He calmly rebuked the storm and peace returned. All it took was a word from God to change their storm to calm. He hadn’t forgotten them. In the storm, they’d just forgotten Him. Christ is always with those who know Him. His timing is perfect. His power unequaled. Don’t fear even when the storms rage. Look to Jesus. He will guide you through your storm. Discover more at American Pastors Network dot net.
Overcoming Adversity Series: Where is God?
April 15, 2024
Transcript: We all face challenges in life- don’t we?. Whether a relationship, finances, a job, or other areas. And, when times are tough, we tend to ask ourselves where is God? So what does the Bible say? Hello, I’m Sam Rohrer with another Stand in the Gap Minute. As Jesus gave His final words at the Great Commission, He promised, “I am with you always, even to the very end of the age.” Jesus is always with us, even when it may not feel that way. Now, feelings are important, but they can sometimes trick us into believing the lie that God has abandoned us. But God does not abandon us. His love and presence transcends all events and overcomes all life’s challenges. It’s been said when we find ourselves at the end of our rope – just let go, because only then that we can realize that we’re in the palm of God’s hand. Do you have that assurance?

Persecution Series: Count It All Joy
April 12, 2024
Transcript: The Bible teaches us to “count it all joy” when we face trouble or persecution. How can we find real joy in times of trouble? Hello, I’m Sam Rohrer with another Stand in the Gap Minute. This week, we’ve looked at the persecution we should expect as believers and how to respond to it. But James 1:2 adds that we are to count it all joy. Why? The verse adds that the testing of our faith “produces steadfastness” or resilience. When we experience suffering, we build our endurance. Just as exercise builds the strength of our physical body, persecution strengthens our spirit. A workout may not feel like fun at the time, but consistent effort leads to much improvement. In a similar way, consistently facing persecution with joy deepens our faith and makes us more effective in living for God. Don’t fear persecution. Count it all joy today!
