SUNDAY SNAPSHOT (GOD NEVER SAID THAT… - 2)

main image

We all love and can’t even help sometimes… offering little nuggets of AdviceSupport… or Sympathy to others who may be struggling in life! (They often come in handy when we want people to feel better about their lives or current struggles!) But… WHAT IF the guidance we’re Giving or Receiving just isn’t true? WHAT IF… GOD NEVER SAID THAT? So in response to that… we’ve recently started a New Series at COC that tackles some apparently common CULTURAL MYTHS about God that can be very misleading and confusing! And they actually can keep others from a deeper relationship with Jesus as opposed to drawing them nearer to Him! Do whatever it takes to join us the remaining few weeks of this awesome New Series… GOD NEVER SAID THAT!

 

 

Sunday Snapshot… (Wk2) GOD WON’T GIVE YOU MORE THAN YOU CAN HANDLE!

 

Isn't it fascinating how much MORE we tend to CRAVE GOD in our DISTRESS… as opposed to our SUCCESS?

 

You’ve got to stop letting the PRESENCE of the STORM cause you to DOUBT the PRESENCE OF GOD!

 

I’d rather be IN THE VALLEY WITH JESUS… than on the MOUNTAINTOP WITHOUT HIM!

 

We were CREATED to NEED GOD… to be DESPERATE FOR HIM!

 

2 Corinthians 12:9-10… But He said to me, “My GRACE IS SUFFICIENT for you, for MY POWER is MADE PERFECT in… WEAKNESS!” Therefore I will BOAST all the more GLADLY about MY WEAKNESSES, so that CHRIST’S POWER may rest on ME! That is why, for Christ’s sake, I DELIGHT IN MY WEAKNESSES, in insults, in hardships, in persecutions, in difficulties. FOR WHEN I AM WEAK… THEN I AM STRONG!

 

When YOU are at YOUR WEAKEST... HE is at HIS STRONGEST!

 

 

See You Sunday Celebrators… (9:00A / 10:45A)

Sunday Snapshot… (Wk1) GOD WANTS YOU HAPPY (Mat Balgaard)

 

God’s Highest Priority for us isn’t HAPPINESS… it’s actually WHOLENESS! (And…) THAT’S only found in what JESUS PROVIDED at the CROSS!

 

Don’t pursue HAPPINESS… pursue JESUS! That’s where you’ll find LASTING HAPPINESS!

 

God doesn't want you HAPPY when it causes you to do something SINFUL… because that type of HAPPINESS is always at the EXPENSE of YOU and OTHERS!

 

God wants you MORE than HAPPYHe wants you BLESSED!

 

People who Follow Jesus should be the HAPPIEST People on Earth… our lives

should be marked with LOVE/JOY and PEACE!

 

Psalm 97:12… May ALL who are GODLY be HAPPY in the LORD and PRAISE HIS HOLY NAME!

 

 

See You Sunday Celebrators… (9:00A / 10:45A)
