What In The World Is God Doing In My LIfe?

Last weeks message, "What in the World is God Doing in My Life?" did not get recorded. I do apologize for this. We will try to get it recorded and up on the website a.s.a.p.

It is important for us to be aware that God is working in our life? Hebrews reminds us that the Lord said he would never leave us nor forsake us. Therefore, we may boldly say, "The Lord is my helper, I will not fear what man shall do unto me." Let us look to see God at work in our life. I believe that this is the beginning of the beginning spoken of in Proverbs 1:7. The fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge. If we are going to an awareness of God in our life, we must take special note of what he is doing.

Last week I had the priviledge of going to Crown College in Knoxville, TN. The Lord showed me so many things about the ministry. He directed me to be able to witness to a man at a ski lodge. He taught great Bible truths through different services and classes that I was in. He allowed me to make a difference in the life of four of our teenagers. God did so much in my life last week, I could have written a 100-page book about it. I imagine that this is what the Psalmist had in mind when he said, "He daily loadeth me with benefits."

What In The World Is God Doing?

Have you ever stopped to really think about God is doing in your life? Have you ever considered what God is doing in the world? Understand that the God who spoke the world into existence and hung the stars and earth in the galaxy is active in your life today. God fashions the events of our life to bring us to a closer fellowship with him each and every day.

We would love for you to attend each week and find out just exactly what God is doing in the world. We meet every Sunday (945 a.m. / 11 a.m. / 6 p.m.) and Wednesday (7 p.m.)
