Preparing for Rain

Rain is a necessary part of life. Some rains are soft and soaking and others are harsh and violent. Someone once said, "into life a little rain must fall." How true that is!

And how are we preparing for the rain (favor and blessing) of God that God is ready to pour out?

God Finishes What He Starts

How many times have we started things and not finished them?  Whether it’s a diet or projects around the house sometimes we start things and don’t follow through to completion.  Well, God is not like us; whatever He starts, He finishes. 

<!--[if !supportEmptyParas]--> <!--[endif]-->

Starting something can be exciting, and finishing something can be equally exciting.  This morning we will explore the question; what do we do while waiting for God to finish what he has started in us?  What do we do during the “during?”

Choice

What shirt to wear, where to go for lunch, what jobs to get done around the house; we all make choices everyday.  Some are simple, some not so simple. But are we making right choices?

The Power of Perception

Is the glass half empty or half full?  Perception is an interesting thing.  What is your perception of your life?  Do you have good expectations for the future or are things not looking too good?

 

There is a saying, “Perception is reality.”  In many cases our perception of reality becomes our reality.  Jesus said, “according to your faith may it be done unto you.”  What kind of reality are you creating for yourself?

 

Today we are going to explore the ideas of perception, reality and perspective.  We will see how our perception and perspective bares great on the reality of our life.  However, we must be careful that we don’t allow the perception of our situation to change our faith in the unseen, because the reality of the unseen is an extremely important key to overcoming the seen.

Free

In honor of July 4th and our country’s freedom we are looking at the subject of freedom today.
