God’s Permissive Will and God’s Perfect Will 11-25-2018

In showing God’s permissive will and His perfect will for our lives, Pastor Gray discusses how God used the Ephesians’ urging not to go as Paul sets his face toward Rome. God had given Paul a word: he would speak before kings (Acts 9:15). Both these messages were from the Lord, but one represented God’s perfect will, the other His permissive will.

God can use conflicting messages to show us His permissive will and His perfect will.

The Kabowd Glory of God 11-18-18 Pastor Gray

Pastor discusses the kabowd glory of God–the weightiness–and how it differs from the shekinah glory–the majesty–of God.

God comes to us suddenly. As the disciples waited in the Upper Room in Jerusalem, the waited in expectation. When the Holy Spirit came, they experienced the weightiness of God.

Do we come to church every Sunday with the expectation of God making Himself known to us?

The Way of Repentance 8-26-18 Pastor Gray

In 2 Samuel 12:1-13, the prophet Nathan comes before King David with a story of a rich man who took the only ewe lamb of a poor man. This angers King David and he demands that man repay 4 lambs for the one.

When then told he was the rich man, King David repents of his sin with Bathsheba.

Anything birthed out of sin, God will not bless nor will He advance it. We must deal with any sin or transgression before entering God’s throne room.

Our Thorn in the Flesh 8-19-2018

Pastor Larry Gray expounds on 2 Corinthians 12:7-10 concerning Paul’s thorn in the flesh. What it wasn’t, what it was, and why God didn’t take it away.

The apostle Paul’s thorn in the flesh was not a physical condition, but a messenger from the devil. God allowed it to protect Paul from pride because God gave him such great revelations about the Kingdom. In the same way, God may allow something similar to happen to us. God’s grace is greater than anything the devil can send against us. And God’s grace is sufficient for us in our weakness.
