The Green Room


Sunday was the fourth message in "The Green Room." We are studying the early life of Jesus from Matthew and applying truths about God's preparation times in our lives.

Check out our web site to hear the audio. If it is not up today, it will be shortly. If you missed service be sure to pick up a sermon outline on Wednesday night and you will be able to follow along while you listen to the podcast.

Sunday we studied the escape to Egypt. Imagine going on a 9 to 10 day trip for tax business only to be redirected by God to leave the country and not return home for two years! It is amazing to consider the impact and intensity of the sacrifices that Joseph and Mary made to raise Jesus. You think it is hard to raise your kids? Think about raising God's son, who by the way has a hit out on his life in the first two years, and has caused you to enter into God's witness protection program with no notice.

God has a plan for your life. To follow God's will you will encounter danger and trouble. Doing God's will is amazing and rewarding. But, because Satan is passionate about stopping you, it can also amazingly difficult. God wants to empower you to overcome every difficulty. You are God's witness and may find yourself in his witness protection plan when trouble strikes.
