Many people struggle throughout their lives because they cannot master their emotions. Unquestionably, feelings are a powerful things, and all of us struggle with them to one degree or another. Loneliness is one of the most powerful emotions we can experience. Devastating life events like the death of a love one, loss of employment, failure of business, a debilitating or terminal illness, being slandered or falsely accused, divorced, or any number of other crushing situations can cause us to feel that our family friends, and especially God, have abandoned us. Looking through the blurred lens of loneliness, it appears that no one cares about us. This Sunday we see how David prayed in times of loneliness and discouragement while running from King Saul. Prepare for this week's message by reading Psalm 142.

The best is yet to come
October 6, 2019 • Dr. Danny Lovett
Difficult situations in life cause immediate and emotional responses, to which we often react impulsively without thinking. If we would but remember who God is and rehearse what he has done for us in the past, we would find ourselves rejoicing in spite of trials. Psalm 16 reminds us that God’s blessings are deeper than our difficulties. This Sunday we will see The Best Is Yet To Come.
Triumphing in the midst of trouble
September 29, 2019 • Dr. Danny Lovett
Whoever said that ”God plus anyone equals a majority” had their math right. You can be completely alone, totally surrounded by negative circumstances, but still find protection and refuge in God. Retreating into God means victory, not surrender. This Sunday we will see King David’s prescription for triumphing in the midst of trouble. Prepare your heart for this message by reading and meditating on Psalm 46. God is our refuge and strength!
My Wit's end
September 22, 2019 • Dr. Danny Lovett
Because we never know where any day’s journey will lead, we don’t know where we’ll end up. Often the end of our road is that undesirable abode know as “Wits End” a place of frustration and confusion. Fortunately, we discover God has arrived ahead of us. If we could ever get the perspective in our spiritual life, that God can protect us from giant falls, we would have much more confidence in trusting Him with the small challenges that occur every day. Psalm 107 gives us that confidence in trusting Him and the resulting encouragement to trust God with the falls we experience in life.
