Have you ever wondered what Paul meant when he said, "I have become all things to all men, that I might by all means save some"? Was he saying we can do anything we want as long as the goal is to share the gospel? In Drew's message tonight, he talked about the context in which Paul was speaking and what Paul actually indented for us to do (or not do) to reach the lost.
When we are in need, it's easy to forget to be thankful. It's easier to focus on what we don't have then on what we do have. Using the example of the Israelites grumbling for meat after being freed from slavery, David's message tonight reminds us that we can all stand to be more thankful for all that God has done for us and continues to do. Jesus's life, death on the cross and resurrection was the greatest gift ever to be given and God rightly deserves our thanks and praise continually.
Hope is the expectation and longing for the promised blessings of righteousness. Hope is something that we all need and yet it's something that many of us feel like we don't have enough of. For Rodney's message tonight he talks about the importance of hope and how we can increase hope in our own lives.
Trusting God when nothing seems to be going right is difficult to say the least. It's easy to forget all the times in which God has turned a dire situation into something wonderous. For John's message tonight, he talked about the importance of trusting God in the tough times and remembering all that he has done and will do in all of our lives.
In our lives we all experience struggles, seemingly from all sides. While forces work to draw us away from God and beat us down, we must remember that ours is a faith in the victorious. For Kevin's message tonight, he talked about showing the world the faith we have in the one who is unlike any other. The one in whom victory resides.
