What is going on in our world today? There is so much happening that is alarming, shocking, and even quite frightening. We do not really know what tomorrow will bring in this world. We especially feel this way in a political year when we do not know what will happen as our nation turns out to vote. Is there a way to live ‘certain’ in an ‘uncertain’ world? That is the question that Pastor Greg answers by examining a time of uncertainty in the Israelites journey in the wilderness and the OT character Joshua.

There are dangers lurking for those that are still ‘children’ in their walks with the Lord.

Growing in community is the theme of the message today. What exactly is church community and why is it so important? Why do churches put so much of an emphasis on ‘church community’? Pastor Greg lists 6 reasons why church community is important based on Hebrews 10:24-25. We were never intended to walk this spiritual journey as a disciple of Jesus alone. We were meant to be involved in each other’s lives, helping each other, serving one another, loving one another, & encouraging one another.

Do you ever wonder what the purpose of life is all about? There are people who send their entire lives searching for their ‘purpose’, and they will fill that void with many things.

Today Pastor Greg speaks the last message in our series: “the Bible Doesn’t Say That”. The emphasis & ethos behind today’s commonly used phrase, is what we are dealing with today in our culture: cultural relativism, secular humanism & naturalism, and religious pluralism.

It REALLY rained this week in Corpus Christi, TX. We were in the northern band’s path of tropical storm Alberto. We have definitely needed the rain in our drought parched land, but WOW…..some devastation & destruction have happened along with the rain. The musical group Rascal Flats sang a lyric that stated, ‘life is a highway’. They wanted to just drive & drive on this highway of life. Life is not like a highway……life is more like living out in the sea and storms come upon the sea, as a matter of fact, vicious storms can happen on the seas. Sometimes it seems like more than we can handle. Would God actually allow ‘more than we can handle’ in our lives? <—That’s what we are going to discuss this morning.

This statement pretty much sums up the life of the Apostle Paul and its application is one that is needed to be embraced by men of God as well as women of God.

As we continue our series: The Bible Doesn’t Say That, we come across a phrase that people think occurs to believers but in reality, the Bible has A LOT to say in the exact opposite. There are people that believe that when one surrenders & submits their lives to Jesus, they pick up their Cross & follow Him(Matt 16:24-26) then they should not have to suffer at all. The Bible actually shows that there is a grand purpose for our suffering.

What does the Bible say about ‘judging’ others? Part 2 tackles the main emphasis of Jesus’ teaching in Matt. 7:1-6, self-evaluation.
