Luke 7:11-17 In life we struggle with physical issues as well as emotional issues of significance and value. In these moments of weakness, when we feel like we are sinking, it's important to remember God cares for you. In the message "God of the Helpless" we are reminded of how much God cares for us.

Many skeptics have tried to point out that the Bible contains contradictions, like Proverbs 26:4-5: "Don't answer a fool" on one hand, but we are to "Answer a fool" on the other. What is that all about? And what does that have to do with Paul's ongoing battle with the false teachers who have infiltrated the church of Corinth? Come with the Grace United crew as we discover how Paul employs divine wisdom, answering fools according to their folly.

You dig the well before you get thirsty. Weakness is a direct path towards power. Overcoming is greater than deliverance. Prayer is the ultimate fellowship.

The Apostle Paul "boasted" of a heavenly vision and as a result, was given a "Satanic thorn." What was that thorn? What could be the purpose for it? And how can Paul's experience affect our lives? Isn't the Lord Jesus all loving? All good, all the time? Could suffering actually be a part of his plan for any of us, let alone all of us as his followers? Come with the Grace United crew as we ponder these things, that the Lord might be glorified in our lives.

When the world cries weakness! Jesus cries Love!

We have reached that time of the year when just about anything you watch on television is a re-run. In a few weeks we will be watching all the Christmas episodes of our favorite shows while we sit in the shade to avoid the summer heat. As we look at Genesis 20 you may feel that we are going into summer…

Theme: The upside-down invasion of Jesus. God used weakness to overturn the spiritual stronghold of ungodliness in the Temple. Jesus came as a warrior king, but in a very humble way and He gave as the model for how He wants to conquer not only Jerusalem, but also our hearts. He triumphs and is revealed as King when we all humble ourselves like children and cry Hoshanna! Only then is the God's majesty revealed and our world healed.

The Apostle Paul, a pillar in our church, struggled in his life with a weakness he called his thorn in the flesh. God chose not to intervene in this situation to make Paul stronger from it. What is our thorn in the flesh the God is using to make us stronger?

Paul's comfortably in his skin and surroundings. Once we identify with Christ, are filled with God's Holy Spirit, and properly understand who we are and where we are going, we will stop hating the thorns and realize God can use the negative as well as a positive.

“The men who were holding Jesus in custody were mocking him as they beat him. They also blindfolded him and kept asking him, ‘Prophesy! Who is it that struck you?’ And they said many other things against him, blaspheming him.” [1] Perhaps you imagine that the soldiers who beat Jesus and mocked Him were…

By Pastor Glenn Pease A large number of life's greatest blessings start out as stupid, moronic foolishness in the eyes of many people. This was the case with Samuel Morse, a pastor's son and an artist who left his art for a new idea. He thought that a message could be sent by means of electricity. He…

By Pastor Glenn Pease Most of us could tell true stories of our forgetfulness that allowed us to put a book, a casserole, or some other object on the top of our car, and then get in and drive off. Some of these stories will have sadder endings than others, but it is not likely any of our stories could…

By Pastor Glenn Pease Alfred North Whitehead, one of the philosophical giants of the 20th century, said, "The glorification of power has broken more hearts than it has healed." He warns against the glorifying of even God's power. For the abuse of power all through history makes this attribute produce…
