We do not turn a deaf ear or a blind eye to the problems that exist in the church, but His church yet stands and will stand. All that Satan can bring will not bring it down. The foundation of the church is Christ--this truth must not be muted or mixed--we must tell it like it is
In the final parable of our series, we meet two men who approached God in two different ways. How they approached God revealed the contents of their heart, because only one of them emerged justified.

Just the mention of the name of Jesus changes EVERYTHING. No matter who you are, or what you have done, His name, spoken in faith can deliver, and transform that one who is mired in sin and darkness. No matter who...no matter who.
The name of Jesus means different things to different people. At the moment of salvation, faith in His name set several things in motion--and it is the only name that has the authority to do so.
Join us this morning as we conclude this series with, ‘The Promises'. Throughout scripture the Lord guarantees us that He will always stand by us through sifting seasons. We'll proclaim several of them today.
Last time we learned of ‘Satan’s Sinister Sifting Plan’, and his desire to shift us from our faith (first and foremost), our strength, and our identity. On the flip side, there is the ‘Savior’s Sovereign Sifting Plan’, and it speaks of His purpose, but also His divine provision during your sifting season.
