Battling the flesh, we must rely on the Spirit of God. The same power that raised Jesus from the dead lives in us! What a great truth, a great message from Paul’s letter to the Romans.

Throughout the scriptures, God continuously shows up to fight for us in ways to us that certainly make no sense at all. In 2 Chronicles 20, the use of a praise choir in battle is laughable. But again, it only makes sense if God is in control!

God wanted to use Gideon to defeat the Midianites. There was only one catch. Gideon had to do it God’s way. From 32,000 soldiers down to 300, it was certainly and “IMPOSSIBLE BATTLE”. Nevertheless, God shows up and the rest is history.

This story of seismic proportion is definitely a display of God’s strength and majesty. God specifically leads Israel “back” into a dangerous position. But He always knows what He’s doing. In Exodus 14, it’s comforting to know we can stand back and watch the Lord fight for us!

The story of David and Goliath is as familiar to us as our first names. Through this amazing event, God wants to show us that He must battle for us. We can’t do it in our own strength. When He uses unlikely heroes, He is certain to get the glory!

God calls. Jonah runs. The sailors throw Jonah overboard. Jonah is swallowed by a great fish. Now in the belly of the fish, Jonah has time to think. Out of his reflection on where he is, he sends up a prayer of thanksgiving to God. How do you respond when you find yourself in a […]

Do you ever wonder what Jonah was thinking as he ran from God’s call? There are definitely some consequences to going the opposite direction when God is calling you in a different way! Listen and see Jonah’s response when God calls him to cry out against the wicked city of Ninevah.
