Sometimes God brings us trials in order that we might be humbled. In those times, we struggle, but He is strong on our behalf. Join us as Pastor Rick Plotts shares God's heart towards His people in Deut 8-1-7

Does your nearness to God change based on circumstances, or is it a constant assurance-- Our God is a God of refuge- He longs for us to abide in Him.- He does not show favoritism, but He does know and love those who are truly His.- Psalm 91 is a beautiful of reminder of the shelter and protection God offers those willing to seek Him.

King David writes about stepping out of the chaos of life to seek the Lord.- Those moments produce in him a deep desire for and satisfaction in God.- He doesn-t just know the person of God- He knows God personally.- Do you know God in this way- God wants to possess you.- He wants to fill you with Himself until you are a reservoir of joy, peace, and zeal for Him.- Dive with us into Psalm 63 as we discover the importance of setting apart time to seek the Lord- a well that truly will never run dry.

-But- is a popular word.- We bring it into almost any situation.- We use it to follow up statements, and to allow fear and questioning to enter our lives and the lives of those around us.- The reality is, God-s -but- is bigger than ours.- Our lives may be filled with tragedy - they may be different than we planned or expected.- But God.- With God, all things are possible.- Are we willing to surrender our lives to Him and -let Him define who we are and what we can accomplish through Him-

God-s promises to us are truly amazing.- If we understand the power of the cross, we begin to know how free we really are as children of God.- Yet many of these promises hinge on one word- If.- Pastor Greg explores four -if- passages in the Bible, and what our response should be to the promises He has offered us.- How do we take action to walk in the righteousness and freedom He has offered us-- How do we move from -if- into reality-
