Vineyard Assembly of God

In this passage, the Apostle Paul reveals an astounding insight into the cause of some of the problems and tests of our Christian walk - the fact that Satan can and does at times block your plans.  Often, when this happens, Christians are tempted to quit, but in this message we learn how to be faithful to Jesus when Satan blocks our plans.

Even the godliest families in the Bible experienced family crises and had to endure varying degrees of dysfunction.  As we look at the King David's family crisis in this message - we learn some key insights from God's Word about how to remain faithful to God when a family crisis strikes.

A fact of life in this fallen world is that life doesn't always go to plan.  Accidents, disasters, catastrophes, the unexpected and unwanted does occur.  When this happens Christians need to realize that God not only tests our faith IN Him - He also tests our faithfulness TO Him.

During this difficult time of pandemic, social unrest, economic instability, political uncertainty, and moral depravity people are looking for answers and an epidemic of false prophets has risen up to afflict and exploit the Church.  Fortunately, the Bible has already given us guidance as to who the false prophets are, how to detect them, and how to discern and welcome the true prophets and teachers who have been called by Jesus to serve His Church.

Without doubt, we are living in difficult times!  It is part of human nature that when facing difficulty, people often become desperate.  Since desperate people do desperate things, desperate Christians often turn in desperation to different practices and beliefs to try to get God to make their life normal again.  In this message, we see exactly what God requires of us whether the times are difficult or not - or whether we're desperate or not.

The evidence that we are living in the End Times is unmistakable as any comparison of the news and our world with Biblical prophecy will show.  Evidence, however, can be interpreted many different ways.  This is why the Bible presents Israel (the nation and the people) as irrefutable proof that God has kept and will keep ALL of His promises and prophecies!

When difficult, stressful events happen - or when we see these events happening on the news we often want to "wish them away," but we can't.  However, as Christians we can have faith in God that God can use even the most unpleasant events in a most extraordinary way!  Not only to fulfill His plan for the nations of the world, but also for us!
