I have wanted to speak on this topic for a long time to you all. The Old Testament is littered with several stories involving the nation of Israel's battling against giants who opposed God's people. These giants represent the great spiritual giants that still exist in this modern day, obstacles propped up by Satan that would hinder God's people. We must adopt the courage of David to conquer these giants and trust in God's empowerment of believers.

Gaining God’s Guidance

November 17, 2024 • Pastor Tom Arnould • 1 Corinthians 13:11–13

As a pastor, the number one prayer request I get is people seeking direction. The Bible is given to us to help guide us by communicating what God's will is. As you get closer to the Word of God, you get closer to God. It is amazing to me how in prayer I am constantly brought back to a verse in the Bible to communicate an insight. My hope in this message is to communicate to you how you can ascertain God's will for you by maturing spiritually.

Your Place, Your Grace

November 10, 2024 • Pastor Tom Arnould • 1 Corinthians 12:18

It's a beautiful thing to find what you're good at. God has a special role for you and you will feel most satisfied when you discover it and adapt to it. Our culture shows us that people are most productive and happy when they have a sense of belonging and purpose. God will enable you to live out his purpose for your life with a special grace on you. He will not just call you to your role but also give you the spiritual tools and mindset to carry it out.

Shalom

November 6, 2024 • Pastor Tom Arnould

The concept of peace as described by the Hebrew word "shalom" is a very deep concept with much meaning carried by the one word. It describes a holistic peace that comes over someone operating in the Lord's favor. The kind of peace that applies to all parts of their life: familial, relational, bodily, communal, etc. Peace represents ultimate harmony with God's natural order and it is God's will that the Christian would live in it.
