God Conversations with Tania Harris(096) Hearing God Among the Nations – Craig StephensGod spoke to Craig about healing for a lame Sikh priest. Then the police came…
Jesus said it was for our good that he left the earth (John 16:7). That seems hard to believe. What could be better than sitting down and having a coffee with Jesus?
Jesus is described as the living “word of God” (John 1:14) – that meant everything he said was God’s voice as well as everything he did. The early disciples could hear God’s voice as they were walking down the streets of Jerusalem, as they were sharing a meal with Jesus over bread...2025-03-3140 min

City Rev ChurchWaiting on God, Part 2: When God Says No by Pastor Craig StephensIn “Waiting on God, Part 2: When God Says No,” Pastor Craig Stephens dives into the tough reality of hearing “no” from God and how it challenges our faith. Through stories like Moses striking the rock in disobedience and the Israelites’ wilderness journey, he reminds us that God’s “no” often redirects our hope to something greater—Heaven. Pastor Craig weaves personal anecdotes, biblical lessons, and the story of Moses at the Transfiguration to show how God’s plans are always better, even when they don’t align with ours. It’s a message of trust, patience, and keeping an eternal perspective.2024-12-0344 min
