Jesus is a taker.  The most spectacular robbery in history didn’t happen in a movie.  It happened on a hill called Calvary where Jesus died and took our sins on Himself.  He is a taker, who came to take away what we don’t need (our sins) and give us what we do need (our salvation).

As believers, we must respond to God’s plan and rest in His promises.  Pastor Ford describes how the more we depend upon God, the more dependable we find Him to be.  No matter what comes our way, we follow God’s plan and He’s going to execute it and bring it to pass.   ...

Pastor Ford explains that God has already given us the revelation—His promise.  But we don’t get the product—the manifestation of the promise—until we meet the qualifications for what God has said we can have.  Learn more as we continue this series called Takers, from Joshua 1.

As we continue these messages from Joshua chapter 1, Pastor Ford will describe how faith sees the invisible, believes the unbelievable, does the impossible, complies with the incomprehensible, and accepts the intangible. ...

The Apostle Paul wrote to the Corinthian church about his “thorn in the flesh.” And Pastor Ford will explain how Paul dealt with his suffering by keeping an abiding vision of God, so that it helped him to deal with whatever he was going through.  We’ll learn that Paul wasn’t looking at his suffering.  He was...

One reason why we’re fighting against what God is allowing to happen in our lives may be because we’re immature in our faith and we don’t understand that God’s not allowing our suffering to happen in order to hurt us.  Instead, He’s trying to help us.  He’s not trying to destroy us.  He’s...

Today, we’ll continue to look at how the Apostle Paul described and dealt with his “thorn in the flesh.” Pastor Ford will point out that there was a tension, or a tandem nature about Paul’s situation—God graced the suffering to him, but Satan was the one who was giving him fits.  Satan was the one causing...

Pastor Ford will remind us that the Apostle Paul essentially encouraged us to not ever take our eyes off of Christ and put our eyes on our problems or our pain.  By maintaining what Pastor Ford calls an abiding vision of God, Paul was able to accept his suffering when God chose not to remove it from his life.

As we continue our study in 2 Corinthians, we discover that Paul had a unique perspective about his problems, because he chose to look at the Problem Solver, instead of at his problems.  Instead of looking at the Devil, who has some power, Paul chose to focus on the One Who has all power—Jesus Christ.  ...
