When we resolve a problem without God, or move forward without obeying God, we actually weaken our position – even if it doesn’t feel like it at the moment!
God wants to be strong on my behalf. His eyes are scanning the Earth, looking for people he can support (2 Chronicles 16:9)!
“Don’t Be Stupid”
We don’t have the knowledge we need to make our Christian lives work right!
Everyone is a theologian it’s just a matter of whether you’ll be a good one or a bad one!
Can I hear in the chaos?
Life can be complicated, but knowing what God wants us to do is simple.
Simple: Jesus calls out, “FOLLOW ME” and we either follow him, or we don’t.
An Intentional Attitude
Attitude matters!
The attitude: The prophet encouraged Asa to be intentional about everything he did.
Confidence in the Storm
Bible Verses: 2 Chronicles 14
Big question: How did Asa have confidence that God would fight for him? How can we have confidence that God is on our side?
THE MAIN THING! Asa had confidence in God because he was doing what God was doing!
Jesus is Our Touchdown
NO MOVEMENT=DEATH!
Jesus is our goal. “Jesus is our touchdown.” Moves towards the goal!
Being satisfied with things in the world stop us from pursuing God.
How to Destroy a Nation (and Your Life)
Big Question: How do we make wise choices?
Rehoboam takes three days to consider the issue (great choice!) and meets with the elders for advice (super great choice!).
Reheboam takes his friend’s advice, and the nation collapses. Israel splits into Israel and Judah, and never fully reunites.
My Hot Air Doesn’t Make My Happy
What’s the best way to genuinely love life? How do I find happiness and blessing? “For a happier soul make wisdom your goal!”
The Temple Will Be Destroyed
The reality is: If you aren’t worshiping Jesus, you aren’t worshiping God. If you aren’t obeying Jesus, you aren’t obeying God.
Loving Orphans
God chooses to describe his grand cosmic plan for the redemption of humankind as adoption.
