  • 2024-11-03: Lies People Believe — I Did It My Way

    2024-11-03: Lies People Believe — I Did It My Way
    Nov 3 2024
    Sermon Audio: I Did It My Way Speaker: Pastor Val Watkins Scripture Text: Proverbs 3:5-10 Duration: 22:17 Size: 12.5 MB Lies People Believe I Did It My Way Proverbs 3:5-10 But, when it comes to the more serious decisions of life, if we insist on doing things our way, it can get real dangerous...real quick. It's an impressive song about facing life's difficulties...and triumphing over the challenges -- I Did It My Way! It's no longer going to be your will that guides you...but God's. But when churchgoers do this (when they insist on doing things their way), they don’t think of it defying God. If Jesus is not the Lord of your life -- somebody's got to be. Nothing he had done compared to what Jesus had done...for him.

  • 2024-10-27: Lies People Believe — God Doesn’t Understand Me

    2024-10-27: Lies People Believe — God Doesn’t Understand Me
    Oct 27 2024
    Sermon Audio: God Doesn't Understand Me Speaker: Pastor Val Watkins Scripture Text: Matthew 11:28-30, Matthew 6:19-21 Duration: 20:37 Size: 11.6 MB Lies People Believe God Doesn't Understand Me Matthew 11:28-30, Matthew 6:19-21 They don't feel they can get close to Him. God seems distant and uncaring. We wish God would...just do something! But when we can't see Him do that something, many people struggle in their faith. So, Joseph was still a slave, but at least God blessed him while he was there. I mean...it could be worse. In the midst of his suffering, Joseph decided to focus on that "Truth." And that "truth" was that God would always be there for him. And the first lie is that God doesn't care. That He's not there. And that He just doesn't understand us. We live in a fallen world where the things we cling to fail us. And that's why Jesus said "In this world you will have trouble." She got to the point where she knew God was always near her and that He would never leave her or forsake her.

  • 2024-10-20: Prayer That Works — Pray Receptively

    2024-10-20: Prayer That Works — Pray Receptively
    Oct 20 2024
    Sermon Audio: Pray Receptively Speaker: Pastor Val Watkins Scripture Text: Acts 13:1-2, Acts 16:6-10, Romans 8:26-27 Duration: 31:22 Size: 17.4 MB Prayer That Works Pray Receptively Acts 13:1-2, Acts 16:6-10, Romans 8:26-27 We need to understand that prayer isn't just us talking to God. It's God talking to us as well They were worshiping and fasting when the Holy Spirit gave them instructions, and then they fasted and prayed some more. Fasting is the discipline of going without something, usually food, although people talk about fasting from TV or social media, or something else, in order to focus on spiritual things. Wouldn't it be so much easier if the Holy Spirit spoke to us in an audible voice? Hide God's Word in your heart. Because that is the primary channel through which God speaks to us today. Receptive prayer lets the Holy Spirit speak. Are you willing to open your hands to God in prayer, and receive what He so wants to give you? It's all good because the Holy Spirit, who knows you perfectly, who knows the mind of God perfectly, is praying for you according to the perfect will of God. If we limit our prayers to only what we ask for, what we think we need, and how we think things need to be accomplished, how much are you limiting God? When we pray with open hands, it gives the Holy Spirit the opportunity to go above and beyond what we pray.
