“Because the carnal mind is enmity against God; for it is not subject to the law of God, nor indeed can be.“ ‭‭Romans‬ ‭8‬:‭7‬ ‭NKJV‬‬. The daily battle is won or lost in our thinking. We are urged to be transformed by daily renewing our minds in God's Word - thinking God's way.

Have you noticed so many all over the world seem unhinged, meandering, and unfocused? When the fabric of our foundations are torn up, we lose our footing and begin a downfall. For Jesus' followers it not need be so. “We fix our gaze on things that cannot be seen. The things we see now will soon be gone, but the things we cannot see will last forever.”

It's not the size of the dog in the fight... it's the size of the fight in the dog.  Many of us have heard this truth before - but there was undoubtedly a critical moment in King Jehoash's life that he wished he had heard - and understood - this truth also!!  Have a problem chasing you down, snarling like a vicious dog??  It's not the size of your problem - it's the God inside of you that will always have the final word!!  Join us as Pastor Michael encourages us to not back down - because we have the winner inside us!

Many today live in a continuum of fear - uneasy, on edge. The enemy seems to be controlling events. Not so from God's perspective. Join us as we discover how God is arising and scattering His enemies.

Why does God use and permit suffering?  Why did Jesus ask (and have recorded for us in the Word) His request to let the Cup of Suffering pass from Him?  What we hate and see as suffering - can be the path to Peace, in the hands of our Father.  This week we are remembering Jesus' suffering - which purchased our Peace.  Jesus IS the Way - our path, our peace and our life.

To remind His people of His faithfulness to protect them, God's glory/Presence was visible at the Temple. His people took His Presence for granted, no longer honoring Him until one day they saw His glory depart. Ichabod. Once again in America we need God's Presence manifesting. Government can't fix what is fundamentally wrong. Only God's power and Presence will bring us back from the brink.
