Angleton First Assembly of God

In Isaiah, we read that God's ways and thoughts are higher than ours. I've heard people use this verse when unexplainable and tragic things happen. Certainly, God's ways and thoughts are higher, but is that what this verse is really about?

The Lord told the prophet Samuel, "Man looks at the outward appearance, but the Lord looks at the heart." This is important to remember when relating with people. The seen is not necessarily an accurate gauge of what’s really going on.

James 1:19 has some very good advice for us. If followed more, our relationships would be much improved. There would be less conflict and division in our homes, our churches, and our community.

Psalm 11:3 - "If the foundations are destroyed, what can the righteous do?" Good question! Is this relevant to us today in America? If so, what are the foundations to which he refers? And who are the righteous? And what should they do?

Paul told young Timothy to fight the good fight of faith - the 'good' fight. Did you catch that? Not all fights are bad. Some are good and necessary. This message focuses on three things worth fighting for - Faith, Family,  and Freedom!

Psalm 11 is only 7 verses in length. It's about David and the persecution he faces from King Saul. Saul is threatened by David and fears losing his power. Power-hungry leaders aren't good leaders. We see some of this in our nation today.

When we think of a spiritual breakthrough, we usually think of God showing up and doing something big. While this can certainly be the case, maybe some of the breakthroughs we need begin with us.

At times, the will of God is clear and easy to know. At other times, there can be an uncertainty as to what God would have us do. This message gives four principles we can use to help us determine God's will in a given situation.

"My heart is fixed, O God, my heart is fixed; I will sing and give praise." David was in a hard place when he wrote this. His heart, however, remained in a good place. So, what does it mean to have a 'fixed' heart, and what can we do to get it?

When it comes to issues of right and wrong, God's Word is our standard. It's our moral compass. To dismiss God's Word is like being on a boat with no motor and no anchor. You simply drift with the currents, moving further away from truth.
