How Prayer Shapes Nations

Trusting that God will work all things for our good

March 10, 2024 • Pastor Tom Arnould • Psalm 149

I believe that despite the darkness of our times, God is going to do a great work and manifest his glory. Psalms 75:7 says, "But God is the judge: he putteth down one, and setteth up another." We can feel powerless in a world seemingly ruled by enemies of God, but it must be remembered that God is sovereign and fully in control of the situation. There is no ruler who has arisen that God was surprised by. He will bring about his master plan of the ages, and we must hold strong to our faith in him and his might.

How God Judges

May 15, 2024 • Pastor Tom Arnould • Luke 19:22

I'm going to continue my message from several weeks ago which focused on why our words matter. Even if we are taking care to not speak profanity or unwholesome talk, there is still attention that should be paid to the words we are speaking in terms of what we are speaking over ourselves. The Bible states that God will judge us on terms of the words we have said. If we have spoken life or death, those will judge us.

The Wise Woman

May 12, 2024 • Pastor Tom Arnould • Proverbs 31:10–31

I am grateful for the role that women have had in church history and that they continue to have. The first person to accept Christ in the continent of Europe that we know of was a woman named Lydia, and the gospels also describe a number of women who ministered to the Lord. Proverbs 31 describes several criteria of what makes such a "wise" woman who is in tune with spiritual principles and not wasteful, lazy, or vain. Such a "Proverbs 31 woman" makes for an excellent companion and spiritual influence.

A Great Marriage

May 5, 2024 • Pastor Tom Arnould • Matthew 19

What makes for a great marriage? God puts a priority on marriage, in fact, it was his idea. A good marriage does not only benefit itself -- it will benefit your career, mental health, and almost every other area you can imagine. People can develop an erroneous idea that they can compartmentalize their marriage, but it affects every part of your life, serving as part of your spiritual core. I'd like to explore what Scripture has to say about this subject and hopefully bring some enrichment to your current or future marriage.
