I don't want to get anyone to doubt their salvation. I want everyone to be certain of it. The way to do that is to compare the actions of our life to the commands of God's Word. We need to: • examine ourselves, • examine our faith, • examine our actions, • examine our beliefs, and see if they match up with Scripture. Are we Jesus Freaks or Jesus Fakes?

Complaining is pretty normal, isn't it? Is there something wrong with it? Once you align your heart with Christ, you will suddenly realize that: • It offends the heart of God, • It'll drive other people away, but you can overcome it. It's a choice!

People are afraid of a lot of things…but, the one thing that I think bothers people more than anything is the fear of losing control. Do get rattled when things don't go as planned? We need to learn to trust the promises of God!

Disloyalty is a very significant issue, but it is also very difficult to see in the mirror.

In our country so often, we've become a culture that is really without honor. To honor someone is to believe the best about them. To dishonor is to believe the worst. Honor lifts, dishonor tears down.

If you're a Christian, you are a conqueror. Positionally, in Christ, that is what you are. When you know who you are, you'll know what to do, and in Christ, you are a conqueror.

Without Christ, there is a lot wrong with you. • You are sinful, • you are spiritually dead, • you are the object of God's wrath. The good news is though, God can change everything in a moment through His Son, Christ. He can make you His workmanship.

The problem for so many Christians, is they don't really know who they are in Christ. And because they don't know who they are, they often don't know what to do. As believers, God has called us to represent Him! We are ambassadors!

Our Message? Non-negotiable. Our Method? Flexible. The Apostle Paul was a great example of this!

In 2 Kings, chapter 5, we read about three people who did not like their options, but they were able to • make the absolute best of a bad situation • and get victory over their circumstances, • and joy in the process, by learning three things to do when you don't like your options.

I'm not excited about the future because of how I feel. Because I don't always feel that way. I'm excited about the future because of the truth of what God says! And specifically, in Romans 8.

We talk about something that happened right after the resurrection...and it deals with the subject of doubt. The good news is that some people have no problem with doubt at all. “The Bible says it, and I believe it, and that settles it!” That's great! But some other people have genuine struggles with doubt. Doubts come in all different shapes and sizes...and sometimes, honest doubt can lead to genuine faith! (Sorry about the quality--wind and rain definitely caused issues!)

Does God answer prayers? We believe that He can, and we believe that He will. And even if He doesn't, We still love, we still serve, and we still trust.

Sometimes you look good on the outside, and nobody else would know that • you go to sleep afraid. • You cry yourself to sleep. • You feel more alone. Maybe you just feel the pressure and stress. Jesus asks: Why are you afraid?

SO many people are going through such a difficult time. • There's so much pain, • so much uncertainty, • the bills might be mounting, • your marriage might be struggling and we have become—like never before the Anxiety Society. This study is for anyone who may feel some anxiety. You feel alone or you're consumed with fear.

Many people feel abandoned-by others, first, but ultimately also by God. Although this is a common problem, Christians don't talk about this very much. Thank God that David opens up about it in Psalm 13--if you have ever felt this way, you are not alone!
