Last week we began discussing this passage focusing on the statement we often make, “God is in control”. One of the key verses we use in establishing this statement of God’s control is Romans 8:28, “And we know that God causes all things to work together for good to those who love God, to those...

What do you think when you hear the words, “God is in control”? I’m going to start out today by being totally honest, I don’t like the saying. To me, it’s become something we say when we don’t know what else to say. It’s not about faith as much as it is about resignation, it’s...

Have you ever felt like there was something in your way? An obstacle that was keeping you from getting to where you wanted to go or becoming what you wanted to be? Sometimes we are fully aware of the thing in the way and feel like we spend our lives crashing into it just to...

Have you ever been afraid that you were going to miss it? When Noah was a little boy he would fight sleep with every ounce of strength he could muster. His head would be bobbing, his eyes closing and we’d tell him to just go to sleep and he’d say, “I’m not tired”. I was...

How does a request for water turn into a revelation of the Messiah? How does confronting culture become healing rejection? How does disrupting understanding open the door for establishing worship? How does Jesus lead an outcast of her community to become a trusted voice for eternity? Jesus told Zacchaeus that the Son of Man came...

Last week we saw how Jesus met the woman, at the well, in her brokenness. He was not there to expose her sins, but to reveal the broken places of her heart so that He could bring healing. He wanted her to know that her story mattered to Him. He wanted this woman, who had...

Last Sunday Kevin Flowers said, “Peace is a place where there is no confusion.” I’ve thought about that statement a lot this week. I think most of us want peace to be a place where there is no opposition, no dysfunction, no disagreement and no difficulty, but what if peace has more to do with...

This past Sunday we had the privilege of hearing from Pastor Kevin Flowers of Refuge Ministries Center located in Edgewater Park, NJ. Below is the full audio recording to his sermon titled “Peace Personified”. I pray that as you listen, that those places in your heart that feel void of peace would become places of...
