Times have always been perilous, but we must remember “Perilous Times Require Power”.

This is the third message in this series titled “The Church in the Last Days.”

When we were born into this physical life, God created us with a free will and the ability to make decisions. One of the most important decisions you will ever make in your life is who to team up with God or the devil. The choice is up to you!

When we were born into this world we were born of the flesh. But the Bible tells us that when we were born again, we were born of the Spirit.

The Word of God tells us that the “anointing” is “in” us. We know this “anointing” is the Person of the Holy Spirit that abides within every child of God. There is something inside you that is greater than what is wrapped around you.

This week we will learn how to overcome the enemy, through the power of the Holy Spirit that dwells within us.

Weird – Because Normal Isn’t Working

We are starting a brand new series today called Weird.

I will be just real honest with you.

Most of us are living what is called a NORMAL life… Just plodding along doing the same thing every week, same restaurants, same ballgames, same job, same friends. We have average mundane spiritual lives, most spend more than we make, and we call it Normal… WE have relationships that are marked by routine and and anything but exciting and its called normal.
We struggle and fall and find ourselves hopeless and helpless and we call it normal.

What if there is another way..

In this week’s message we will learn that Jesus didn’t live a normal life. In fact, many would call the way Jesus lived just plain WEIRD!!!

Church In The Last Days #2 from Mountain Grove Church on Vimeo.

Times have always been perilous, but we must remember “Perilous Times Require Assurance”.

This is the second message in this series titled “The Church in the Last Days.”

Last week we were reminded in 2 Timothy 3:1, “But know this, that in the last days perilous times will come.” And in this study, we will see that the first key to survival in these perilous times is the assurance of salvation.

Jesus gave us this warning in John 3:3, “Most assuredly, I say to you, unless one is born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.” Ladies and gentlemen, it is time for us to stop playing our little religious games with God and check our eternal standing!!

Salvation, through Jesus Christ, is the only way to obtain that eternal security. This week we will learn, how to obtain that salvation and have the assurance to stand in perilous times.

There will always be critical people, criticism will never go away!

Good morning Next family we are in the middle of two series. We just finished our I Love the 80‘s Series and next week we are starting a series called Weird. Yeah love the title don’t you?

In the mean time I thought we would take a look at a very practical topic.

This is something we all face and something we all deal with and unfortunately some of you deal with it way too often. Today we are going to talk about dealing with a certain type of person . Specifically, we are going to talk about how to deal with critical people. Now let’s get something out of the way right off the bat, We all know critical people because all of us have been critical, so before we get to self-righteous I want to say that we can all learn something about being critical.

I am talking about the type of criticism that is intended to damage and hurt. The type of criticism that is damaging.

Now Criticism will never go away. We will all be criticized.

Even a quick glance at the Bible will tell you that criticism is unavoidable.

In this week’s message we will discuss how to overcome and deal with critical people.

Times have always been perilous, but I am convinced that this is The Perilous Times.

The Word of God teaches us that in the “last days perilous times shall come.” I stand before you today to proclaim that never before in the history of man has such potential existed for our own destruction. Hydrogen bombs are so powerful that they require an atomic bomb to detonate them! Scientists claim that if a large hydrogen bomb ever exploded in our earth’s atmosphere, the shock waive could cause an imbalance, which would bring civilization, as we know it, to a standstill.

We have never seen a time quite like this.

Prominent intellectuals and their equally prominent fellow travelers in the media teach that every value and every culture are equally valid. And the result is the secular media has become open “despises of those that are good, ” constantly showing Christianity in a negative light and refusing to depict any Christian as intelligent, warm, considerate, or loving.

America was founded on a strong belief in the guiding hand of God, yet that belief is being pushed aside by those who have a religion of selfinterest and selfindulgence. The message of the last decade in America has been “do your own thing” and “just be happy,” yet we suddenly have awakened to a nation where prayer is yanked out of schools, nativity scenes are forbidden in our parks, and songs about Jesus cannot be sung at any public school Christmas celebration.

Child of God, if we are going to be the Church in the Last Days, we must have a hope beyond the scope of human limitation! But, listen to me today, we are never going to experience that hope as long as we are content to look, and to live, in the natural all the time and live the Christian life according to our feelings.

I love the 80s : taking a look at “Great Truths from a Great Decade!”

How many of you remember the series from the 80’s called UNPlugged? It was on a network called MTV..Do you remember when MTV actually showed music videos? OK I know I sound like an old guy right…??

Seriously I remember during the 80’s when MTV was awesome and we could watch our favorite bands lip sync their songs to bad choreography…parachute pants and all that..

All the bands and all the glitz, hairspray and lights and amplifiers, the crowds the sound.. The glamour and what came at the end of all this was a new idea.

But fast forward to the end of the 80’s and we were introduced to a brand new idea.. UNplug the instruments, use only acoustic instruments with no amplifiers. It was stripped down, simple and just amazing..

The whole idea was Less is More and that is so true… That philosophy is very helpful particularly in our society… Think about it , we have never been more PLUGGED IN, more CONNECTED even on a Global Level. Social Media has us connected all of us to every area of our life… And that is NOT a bad thing..

This week learn how to get unplugged, so that you can focus on the things that matter most.
