TRUST – God Will Provide
Title: Trust! God will provideSeries: Old Testament / Our God ProvidesReadings: Exodus 16:1-18 Preacher: Phil Swain This Sunday we wrap up our Our God Provides series by joining the Israelites out in the desert (Exodus 16:1–18).

When Faith Trembles, God Provides.
When Faith trembles, God Provides Reading: Genesis 21:1-3; 22:1-14 Preacher: Kevin Kim This Sunday we hear both the joy of Isaac’s birth (Genesis 21) and the testing of Abraham on Mount Moriah (Genesis 22). In fear and trembling, Abraham learns the truth of Jehovah Jireh—“the Lord will provide.” For us, this points to the cross: just as God provided a ram in Isaac’s place, he has given his beloved son, Jesus, as the lamb for our salvation. In our own Read more

Have you ever wondered what Jesus’ return is all Read more
