Showing the Reality of God (1 Kings 18:16-39)

Being a father is a great responsibility and a great privilege. It is a great responsibility because God has given us children to raise. And those children are also a great privilege, for they are gifts from God that He has blessed us with. The very name, father, comes from our heavenly father.

Ephesians 3:14-15 (HCSB) For this reason I kneel before the Father from whom every family in heaven and on earth is named.

Our greatest responsibility and privilege is to represent and teach our children about their heavenly Father, both in our words and actions. …

Powerful Praise (Acts 16:16-34)

This summer we’re in a message series called “Heroes of Faith.” What is a hero? The dictionary defines a hero as “somebody who commits an act of remarkable bravery or who has shown an admirable quality such as great courage or strength of character.” A hero is a remarkably brave person. A hero is someone who encounters a dangerous or difficult situation and who then exhibits great courage or strength of character. So, in order for a hero to be born, there is a necessity of an enemy of what kind or another. In order for faith to be proven, there is a necessity of a challenge to that faith.  …

Yet, our modern world is still filled with literal battles between countries and violence between individuals and groups. Sometimes war is between good and evil, sometimes between evil and evil and sometimes you can’t be sure. …

Defeat Your Giants (1 Samuel 17:1-58)

God wants you to be a hero of faith. He wants you to be a man or woman of faith. Someone who accomplishes something big for God through faith. God has something great for you to accomplish with your life for Him. That’s why He created you. He’s got a great future planned for you. However, there’s a catch. Standing between you and the future that God has for you is an obstacle, a difficulty, a giant. Standing between you and God’s purpose for your life is a giant. Something that you must overcome in order to continue to move into everything that God has for you. …

Demolishing Strongholds

Demolishing Strongholds (Joshua 5:13 – 6:25)

Today we continue our Heroes of Faith series. In this series, we’re looking at men and women of God who accomplished great things through faith in the power of God. The stories in the Bible are not meant just to entertain children. The stories in the Bible are there to teach us about God and to inspire us to believe God to do great things in our own lives. One of the difficulties that many people have with Bible stories is that they are set in a different time and place.
