Have you ever begged God to remove a heavy trial in your life? Paul did, and the Lord said “no.” We have a choice: these times can either make you resentful or they can increase your faith.

How do we move forward when injustice seems to be winning? Where is God then? The prophet Habakkuk had the same issue in the nation of Israel—complaints which belong in today’s news. Yet amid the turmoil, the prophet has a burst of faith, knowing that God is still in charge. Are we prepared to face our own honest questions and keep praising God?

Prayer is often mysterious. We are commanded to ask in faith, without doubting. But the answer sometimes seems unrelated to our specific request. In this message, we learn about answers in disguise. When God answers prayer in unexpected ways, let’s remember that we need Him more than an answer.

When we pray, we hope for a quick response from God. But God has His own timeline which is not always in sync with ours. God gave Abraham promises that would not come to pass for hundreds of years. How do we handle prayers that are time-critical for us, when God’s answers seem to never come?

It happens again and again. A child is at death’s door, and even after urgent prayer, the child dies anyway. Where was God? When prayer is not answered as we’d like, many simply stop praying or believe false teachers’ lies about peace and prosperity. In this message, we’ll investigate three false principles such teachers use about riches and healing as well as key observations about God’s will in suffering. What’s God doing through our unanswered prayers?

Many deny the resurrection of Jesus Christ. Like a stone rolled in front of the tomb, they dismiss the resurrection through their indifference, naturalist or humanist theories, or even religiosity. But the conquering Christ rose in victory from death’s futile grasp. His glorious resurrection paves the way for all who believe in Him to one day live again as He did. Though many have tried, but you cannot keep God in the tomb.

Our lives and circumstances may not change, but do we desire to carry out the Father’s will, regardless of the outcome? The last week of Christ’s earthy life began in triumph, and ended in His death. Yet, throughout His agony, He embodied what He prayed to the Father, “Not my will, but Yours be done.” In this message, we consider the three cups of Calvary that Jesus accepted from the hand of the Father. Do we follow in Jesus’ obedient footsteps?

What keeps us anchored in an out-of-control world? Near the end of His time on earth, Jesus took three of His disciples to a mountaintop. There He revealed His true glory from the Father. This prepared Him for His upcoming trial and His followers’ own difficulties as well. In this message, we’ll discover how God’s glory practically prepares us to live and work on Mondays. Even when our plans or intentions fall through, God’s glory remains.

No middle ground exists for those who meet Jesus; we’re either for or against Him. The miracles of Jesus gladdened the hearts of the crowds that pressed to see Him. But those miracles darkened the hearts of Jewish religious leaders who saw Jesus as a grave threat to their positions and authority. In this message, we’ll explore Jesus’ reasons why we should believe on Him. The stage is set for a final decisive confrontation.

Do you have a clear picture in your mind of why Jesus miraculously healed while He was on earth? Once it became clear that Jesus could heal sickness and infirmity, word spread rapidly. One paralyzed man was fortunate in having able-bodied friends who could lower him from an opened roof right in front of Jesus. In this message, we’ll discover two transforming lessons from Jesus’ own words about His miracles.
