2 Thessalonians 1:11-12 - How Should We Pray For Those We Love?

September 29, 2024 - 05:58 PM Sermon Series2 Thessalonians


During World War II, the United States used remote islands in the South Pacific as part of their supply routes. The natives on the islands, who had never experienced modern civilization, were fascinated with the lighters that could instantly make fire, jeeps that could drive, and heavy equipment that could push down trees. When World War II ended, the Americans and their stuff disappeared as fast as it came. Since the Americans and their stuff came from the sky, many natives assumed they were gods and began worshipping them when they left. They prayed that the gods would return from the sky and bring them more stuff. While we find this amusing, that is the way many of us pray. We ask God to bring us more stuff. In 2 Thessalonians, we see how Paul prayed for the Thessalonians and what are the right things to ask God for.

Genesis 47:13-31 - Scarcity and Prosperity in Egypt

November 27, 2016 - 08:06 PM Sermon SeriesGenesis



If you were in charge of the country, how would you lead? What programs would you create? What kind of help would you offer? As we continue our study of Joseph's life, the Bible steps away from the story of the relationship between Joseph and his brothers and looks at how Joseph managed a nation in crisis for 17 years. Along the way, we learn practical insights on how to be a good manager of people entrusted to our care.
