ELIJAH Pt I - Man of God
An angry king. Devastating drought. Epic opposition. And one man who overcomes it all. When the world around us is spinning out of control, where do we turn? THIS WEEK - ELIJAH - MAN OF GOD
URBAN LEGENDS-God Only Loves Some People
Do you know someone who's seen Bigfoot's tracks? What about Nessie in Loch Ness? Of course, almost every kid has learned that there really are alligators in the sewer. You know how it goes: someone sees something and tells someone who then tells someone else. On and on and on it goes until its hard to separate fact from fiction. This doesn't just happen with alligators and Bigfoot... it happens with spiritual truths as well. Join us as we separate fact from fiction and debunk spiritual myths.
URBAN LEGENDS-There Are Many Ways to God
Principle of the Path-Part VI
The First Yellow Brick - Your ability to choose the right path is in direct relationship to your submission to God.
Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and do not rely on your own understanding. Think about Him in all your ways, and He will guide your paths.
Proverbs 3:5-6 HCSB
Principle of the Path-Pt V
When the promise of happiness points in one direction while truth and common sense point in a different direction; that’s when smart people do stupid things.
The heart is more deceitful than anything else and desperately sick. I, the Lord, examine the mind, I test the heart, to give to each according to his way, according to what his actions deserve... Jeremiah 17:9-10 HCSB
Principle Of The Path-Pt IV
The wise see danger and take cover, but the foolish keep going and are punished. Proverbs 27:12 HCSB
Principle Of The Path-Pt III
Bad Things and Smart People
What do you see in people who get lost?
I saw among the inexperienced and gullible, I noticed among the youths a young man lacking sense. Proverbs 7:7 (HCSB)
The Principle of the Path-Part II
What is the distinction between a solution and a path? Most people don't need a solution, they need a direction change.
So he got up and went to his father. Luke 15:20 (HCSB)
The Principle of the Path-Part I
Every path has a predictable destination.

For the discerning, the path of life leads upward, So that he may avoid going down to Sheol. Proverbs 15:24
I Believe in God, But I Don't Know Him

Do you know God? Really? How well do you Him? Is He just the "Big Guy Up in the Sky" that you go to when you need something. God wants us to know him intimately. But how? Pastor Bruce teaches how we can know God as He wants us to know Him.
They profess to know God, but they deny Him by their works. They are detestable, disobedient, and disqualified for any good work. Titus 1:16 (HCSB)
I Believe In God, But I Trust in Money
Do we really trust God? Even with our finances? We say we do, but when put to the test, "Do we trust in God or do we trust in money?" Pastor Bruce teaches that we CAN trust God in the hardest of times. He is faithful!
For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also. Luke 12:34 (HCSB)
Don't Go Overboard - Pt II from PRACTICAL ATHEIST
We want to be thought of as "Christians," and 94% of Americans say they believe in God. It's just that, well, we don't want to be thought of as "fanatics." We believe in God, we just don't it to rule our life or anythng -- we just don't want to go overboard. WHAT IS OVERBOARD WITH GOD? Can we really go overboard with a God who sent His own Son to die in our place?
I Don't Fear God-Pt I from PRACTICAL ATHEIST
What is a Practical Atheist? A Practical Atheist is someone who believes in God, but lives as if He doesn’t exist. Are you who you say you are?
Difficult times will come in the last days. For people will be lovers of self, lovers of money, boastful, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, ungrateful, unholy, unloving, irreconcilable, slanderers, without self-control, brutal, without love for what is good, traitors, reckless, conceited, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, holding to the form of religion but denying its power. 2 Tim 3:1-5 (HCSB)
