Have you ever tried to counsel a friend going through a tough time, and quoted a bit of Scripture that maybe only seemed slightly relevant? Pastor Bill warns you to be careful in those kinds of situations. If you begin to take Scripture out of context and apply it to situations where it doesn’t belong or make sense, you can do more harm than good, even though you’re using good tools. Instead, use the wisdom that you have gained from Scripture, and ask the Lord to give you the words to say.

The Wonder of Wonderful Part 2
May 1, 2024 • Pastor Bill Gehm
Science continues to give us more and more research and data to explain all possible things in the physical world. Technology makes volumes of information accessible to almost anyone. But no matter how much we learn and achieve, it never will end in us fully comprehending God and His ways. Pastor Bill’s going to encourage you today to keep that sense of wonder for God. Remember that you can’t know all there is to know about Him. That’s why He’s God. He is good, and He is higher than us.
The Wonder of Wonderful Part 1

When things got hard for Job, he knew where to go to get the strength and encouragement he needed. He looked up. He knew God was the source of all of his fortune already. On his own, he would have had nothing, but, as Pastor Bill’s going to point out in today’s message, Job actually had everything. He kept his eyes on God and trusted in Him to get him through the trials he was facing. He knew, like we should, too, that God won’t put us through anything that He can’t get us through in the first place.

Looking back at the times in the past when God has moved through you or came through for you or blessed you is important to remember when you’re facing new trials in the present. He’s more to Christians than just a means to material wealth or fame. In fact, as Pastor Bill’s going to point out today, it’s usually quite the opposite. Following God can be hard, and even bring hard times to you, but there’s always good to be found in any situation in God’s timing if you keep your focus on Him.
