Pastor Doug McPheeters begins his summer sermon series The Book of Judges: God in the Chaos with "A Beginning, Not Well Done". The Scripture readings are from Judges 1-3.
Pastor Doug continues our sermon series, "Present Tense Jesus", by contrasting the differences in our life emotional situations that we each experience. Jesus is always present in both parades.
This sermon title may be the most important question you have ever been asked. Are you saved? Are you sure? upon what basis do you base your answer? Do you have the assurance that gives you daily confidence to live a life you know is pleasing to God? Or, are you only guessing, hoping, unsure of your destiny? This message will help you see where your are and help you deal with the questions, once and for all.
