DO YOU KNOW WHOSE YOU ARE? | Isaiah 43:1-2

One does not know who he is until one knows whose he is.” That's what a missionary statesman, E. Stanley Jones said, “one does not know who he is until one knows whose he is.” And I wonder about you today. Do you know whose you are? Do you know to whom your life belongs? Do you know from whom your life came and to whom your life will one day return? Today, I want us to see that you and I that we belong to God. That's whose we are. We don't belong to the culture, to an institution. We do not belong to another human being, but we belong to the maker of heaven and earth.

YOU ARE UNFORGETTABLE TO GOD | Isaiah 49:14-16

"God has forgotten me." Those were her exact words. "God has forgotten me." So I pulled up a chair and sat by her hospital bed as the patient poured forth her pain and despair. "God has forgotten me," she said in many tears and suffering. As a pastor and Chaplain, I've heard those words or words like them many times. And truth be told, I've thought and said those words myself. God has forgotten me. That's what our feelings sometimes tell us, but you know our feelings are not right. Our emotional responses to life's pain and trouble may be authentic, but they're not accurate because you and I, we are unforgettable to God.

THE SPIRITUAL BATTLE WE FACE | 2 Kings 6:17

Recently, a wise friend reminded me, Tim, what we're facing in our country right now and in our lives, it's really a spiritual battle, because we are at a struggle against unseen forces of spiritual darkness. Now, as soon as my friend said that, I knew she was right. What we're facing today is what the Apostle Paul calls a struggle, not against enemies of blood and flesh, but against spiritual forces of evil. And as I prayed about what my friend told me, I thought of the powerful scene from the Bible that encourages me in the struggle and I'm gonna share it with you today, and I hope that it encourages you as well.

People say that you got to have self-confidence... That it's all about self-confidence. That if you don't have self-confidence that you're going to be insecure, that you're going to stumble through life and fail.

Well, it took some time, but over the years, I found something much more wonderful than self-confidence...

“WELCOME HOME!” | Psalm 84

Home. Can you think of a more wonderful, more lovely word than home?

The longing for home is deep, and most of us, that safe place where we can go just as we are, and they take a sin where we can kick off our shoes and relax and simply be who we are. We remember Dorothy in the Wizard of Oz who says, There's no place like home. And with those words and three clicks of her heels, Dorothy is back home from the land of Oz, back home with Auntie Em, the cowardly lion, and the tin man and all that really matters. It's at home. Most of us know about Dorothy is feeling that there is no place like home. Sure, we love to travel and to explore the wondrous big world, but it is good to come home, home is where the heart is, we say.
