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 trying...

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...

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.  ...

How can we know if we are mature believers?  When His purpose is more important to us than our pain.  Some people won’t get involved in ministry because they know that they’re going to get hurt.  But Pastor Ford will explain today that we all must ask ourselves, is Calvary more important than our own personal comfort?

There is no such thing as coincidence with God.  Only providence.  Nothing is accidental.  Everything is Providential when it comes to the things that God allows to happen to His people. So, Pastor Ford will remind us today that it’s never too late to call on God to work through His providence on our behalf.

Today, Pastor Ford will help us identify some very practical ways we can tell if God has called us to a certain ministry, before we dive in headfirst to what we think we’ve been called to do.  We’ll learn how to discover our passions and priorities and identify our desire to glorify God, all while following His guidance.

Sometimes, when we’re taking care of God’s business and serving in ministry, we are hesitant to acknowledge the gifts of other people in our midst.  We see them as an intrusion against our own ministry, instead of an infusion of help from God. And instead of seeing them as a threat, Pastor Ford will encourage us to discover...

As we look at Luke chapter 9, we’ll learn the purposes of prayer based on the disciples’ prayer and Pastor Ford will explain the spiritual warfare in which we are engaged and how prayer is one of the main weapons we can use in battle.

Prayer is an indispensable weapon in spiritual warfare. It’s our cooperation with God in our stance with Him against our common enemies. And so what we want to do is see why and how we should apply prayer as one of our main weapons of warfare. So join us to learn more on today’s Treasured Truth.

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.
