Rockville Assembly Of God

When we hear about big things God is doing in others, it makes us feel insignificant or ordinary. We don't think God can do big things through us. However, God loves to work through the ordinary to do extraordinary things.

What if yoo could pray a prayer like Joshua's "Sun Stand Still" prayer? How owuld your life be differeint? How would the World you live in be different? Can God still answer audacious prayers? God is waiting on people to prayer bold prayers that depend on Him.

Twenty years from now will you be more disappointed by things you didn't do than by the ones you did do? The life of faith is about taking risks for God.

It is often said to new parents, "This baby will change your life." When a baby enters the life of a family, it absolutely changes everything. THe new parents jump at the commands of the newborn. Likewise, Jesus changed the world that He was born into. Jesus still changes lives today!

Why is Christmas such a big deal? Other holidays get one day but Christmas gets an entire month of emphesis. Whose birthday could affect so many people? Christmas is teh celebration of teh Birth of Jesus, the Messiah.

We hear the frustrated and desperate voices of our society calling out for help and deliverance. They cry out for relief from tragedy, for deliverance from bondage and from this evil world. God knew that and sent His Son Jesus, who would be called Emmanuel, God with us.

Fear permeates our society. Fear can infect everything about our lives. This is not God's plan for your life. We look at the CHristmas message and see in three places the people were told not to fear in Luke. Then in four other places in Luke people are told to not be afraid. Through Jesus you can have victory over fear.

Everyone worships someone or something. There are many stars to worship: movies stars, music stars, ahtletes and even the stars. One star led wisemen to Jesus the Messiah. These highly educated magi understood the Scriptures and found Jesus. Whose star are you following?

We live in a negative world. It is hard to be joyful always, pray continually and give thanks in all circumstances. The Word of God commands us to do so along with practical ways to actually do these things because you want to.

Hurricane Sandy and Hurricane Katrina came with warning. Both left a wake of damage. People ignored the warnings of both storms. There is another storm coming. It is rising against society and the Church. The waves are crashing against the moral and faith foundations of society and the Church. Each generation is swept up and pushed farther away from solid ground. The Church must be an anchor of hope in this storm.

Learning starts with failure. When you fail what is the result? Do you feel sorry for yourself? Do you give up? Do you learn from failure and move forward? God wants you to learn from failure and move forward.

Saying No can become a liberating choice in your life. We live ina world with too many choices. We also live in a world where many people want to direct your life. God has a specific call for your life. Learning to say no can free you up to say yes to the right things.

Why appreciate your pastor? Pastor Dallas Cogle answers this question through Scripture.

"You will never know until you try." "You might fail, but you might also succeed." We have heard or said these statements. They are true statements. In life we like comfort and safety. We generally don't like to be stretched or take risks. To grow in life a preson must lear to stretch and risk. It is not as hard as it sounds.

Sometimes we feel like we are in a no win situation with no choices. Maybe we feel stuck in our station of life. The reality is that we have unlimited choices. We only remain stuck if we do not believe that we have unlimited choices. With God there is always a way out of any situation.

Would you believe it if someone said that your mind can play tricks on you? There is enough scientific and psychological research to prove this point. Our minds are great tools and some times they can be negatively influenced to keep us from truly living life. We will look at a few ways to get control of our thinking.

Blame is an easy game we all do. Responsibility has become a dirty word in today's society. Blame make make us feel good or relieve anxiety, it prevents us from taking ownership of our life. Each person is reponsible for their life. We will learn how to take control of our life by not making excuses or playing the blame game.

Learning to stay committed to God's Great Commission during difficult times.

Who are you? What formed your life? What house has your thought life created? The mind is the forerunner of all our actions. Our actions are a direct result of our thoughts. Negative thoughts brings about negative results. Positive thoughts bring about positive results.
