God can transform your emotions from being a weapon used against you into a weapon used for you.

Jesus is the ultimate Peacemaker. We, as followers of Jesus, should always be seeking to make peace.

We know we're supposed to fear God and love God—but enjoy Him? While the idea of enjoying God might strike some as odd or even inappropriate, this command to delight ourselves in God is central to the every command in Scripture. If we miss this, we miss it all.

This week we will study a problem that is pervasive. It is dangerously subtle, and terribly destructive. We will look at what God's Word says about the idolization of feelings.

I have revisited this text as a reminder to the Church in our current culture, a culture that values opinions and feelings above the truth of God's Word, a culture that places the subjective above the objective. Only those whose lives are built upon the Truth of Jesus Christ and His Word will withstand the trials of life and the judgement to come.

God has given us two marvelous gifts. The gifts of themselves are good gifts but they can also be used for evil. Today Pastor Sanders shares with the congregation about choices and habit and the basis upon which we make choices and the one thing that we cannot choose. Listen as you see how you have made choices and how the things that you pour into your life end up coming back out in the things you choose to do. God bless you this week!

Teaching on Psalm 31

What is our love towards other people supposed to be like? Do you humble yourself, or do you think more of yourself than perhaps you should? Do you empathize with others?

John 10:27 "My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me:" King James Version

What are the words that pour forth from your mouth? Are they words that build or words that destroy? The Church as the body of Christ is so essential for our growth in Christ, that it is vital that we let the Word of Christ richly dwell within us in order that we may build each other up in the Lord.

Psalms 9:10 "And they that know thy name will put their trust in thee: for thou, LORD, hast not forsaken them that seek thee." King James Version

An obvious truth... until you FEEL like God isn't hearing you. Let's look back at Genesis for a reminder of the reality that Jesus hears us. Also Reference: Hebrews 13:5-6 https://bbfohio.com

Now to the Emerald City of Biblical Counseling. Using material from chapters 6 - 8 of Paul Tripp's INSTRUMENTS IN THE REDEEMER'S HANDS you'll be reminded of the goal of biblical counseling, and we''ll look at the first of the four elements of being Christ's representative in bringing the Gospel to others and to their challenges in life.

Last week Pastor Tim discussed what joy is. Today, he explores what we can do to actually cultivate joy in our lives. That may seem odd, but we actually have control over how much joy we experience. And we do that not by following certain steps, but by changing our focus and understanding to match that of the Bible.

The troubles of my heart are enlarged: O bring thou me out of my distresses. (Psalms 25:17) 1/ Troubles of the heart 2/ Feelings of the heart 3/ Prayers of the heart - that desired of the Lord

The Bible commands us to rejoice at all times. But isn't that naïve? After all, don't we have justifiable reasons to be stressed, anxious, and sometimes depressed? Don't we have good reason to complain when things that are going wrong? Even though there are many things in life that may legitimately be going wrong, we cannot deny that we are God's Word tells us to rejoice always. So why and how can we have joy when the world around us seems to be falling apart?

You don't have to deny your feelings. You have to direct them. To Jesus.

In order for our minds to be made up, our hearts need to be fixed. Is it possible to defeat sin by merely turning away from it? What is the mark that we are constantly missing and how do we keep the target? Please listen to "Real Repentance," by Pastor Jamie Hawkins.
