Building Faith

Luke 8:22-25

November 26, 2023 • Jeff Cramer • Luke 8:22–25

Give

As we study the bible, we quickly learn there are two-types of storms God uses in the life of His people (Instructive & Corrective). Instructive Storms are storms to develop our faith and come as God allows difficulty into our lives. They occur as we’re in the middle of God’s will for our lives. These storms can fall on us out of nowhere! Corrective Storms are storms God brings to get our attention. He uses them to help us see the error of our ways to get us back on track. Whatever storm you find yourself in, knowing the difference between the storms helps us to retain the right perspective.

Finding Joy (Pt. 2)

November 10, 2024 • Justan McCaslin • Philippians 3—4

The book of Philippians is a book that emphasizes joy in the Christian life. It’s easily seen as the main theme through the book. Paul consistently expresses it himself and instructs his readers to experience it personally. It’s true we have much to be thankful for, but the pace at which we run is so fast, the pressure of which we face is so great, and the pain which we experience is so deep. Our joy is often stolen. We’re led to search for joy and happiness that will last by way of possessions, vacations, or social connection. Not many of us today can sit here in this church and confidently say, no matter what we’re going thru “We’re rejoicing or joyful!”. But Paul teaches in Philippians how we can find joy through the difficulty.

A Heathy Team

October 6, 2024 • Jeff Cramer • 2 Timothy 2:1–7

2 Timothy was written by Paul in a jail cell in Rome and was sent to Timothy to help him lead the church. Because his tendency was to be timid when opposition hit. So he encourages him to be strong and to raise up faithful men who can add to the ministry team. Paul then gives three examples to illustrate how Timothy and the church were to move forward in the last days.

The Power of God's Help

June 2, 2024 • Jeff Cramer • Psalm 46

Psalm 46 has been a go-to Psalm for me because God has used it over-and-over in my life! Specifically v.10. There’s some questions about who wrote this Psalm. Some say it came from David & his battles in 2 Samuel. Others attach the setting to King Hezekiah and God’s intervention against Sennacherib. No matter who wrote it, we have a special Psalm of help that God has preserved for us in His word.
