Greater Life ChurchNow Is The Day - AudioIn John 4, Jesus meets the woman at the well. She talks about her past and looks forward to a future when the Messiah comes, but she is reluctant to discuss her present. For many of us, right now is chaotic, and we are just trying to survive and make it to the bright future we are imagining. This woman had a past. She was looking forward to a better future, but her present was a mess. As she looked to the future of seeing the Messiah, she missed that He was standing right in front of her. She had no...

Greater Life ChurchWalk Like Dad - AudioOur text says a Just man walks in his integrity. There is a distinction between a "Just Man" and "Just a Man." Our world tends to define being a man in a negative light. To them, men are abusers, manipulators, inept, or dumb. While some men may exhibit some of these traits, most do not. Most men provide for their families and try to be a good example to their children. Bro. Long exhorts us to "Don't stop acting like men".

Greater Life ChurchThe Devil's Blind Spot - AudioThe Bible has many descriptions of the nature of God. He is a just God, He is a Holy God. He judges sin and purges evil. Satan knew all of this. When he rebelled and attempted to place himself on par with God, his punishment was swift and divine. Such was Satan's perception and experience when he approached Adam and Eve in the garden.

Greater Life ChurchA Missing Sound - AudioSympathetic resonance is an acoustic phenomenon in which the vibrations in one object produce vibrations in another. For instance, if a chord is played on a piano, the harmonic vibrations can be transferred to another piano nearby. For this to occur, both pianos must be tuned correctly so that the resonant frequency of one matches the resonant frequency of the other. In a spiritual sense, when the word of God is spoken, it should resonate through the church and touch each of us. Similar to the physical phenomenon, for this to occur, we must be in tune with God for...

We may even arrange a signal with our spouse to avoid staying too long. In our text, Israel had been at Mt. Horeb for some time. They had become comfortable, but God told them it was time to move. There are wilderness times and times of waiting, but these are temporary. God is taking us somewhere that is better than where we are now. God tells them to leave Horeb and to possess the promised land. In...

Greater Life ChurchNo Regrets - VideoThe Jews are God's chosen people, but it appeared that they had rejected God. It would be easy to conclude that because the Jews rejected Him, God would turn His back on them. Our text, however, dispels that thought. This is not about Jew or Gentile; it is about God's plan. God's plan is inclusive and meant for all humanity. The door may be closed at the moment, but it is not a permanent closure. Once made, God's promise is forever. That is true no matter what the current circumstance might be. We may feel that God has forsaken us...

Greater Life ChurchThe Joyful Sound - VideoOur text from Psalms is an encouragement and coach on how to live life. The singer declares that blessed is someone who knows the joyful sound, for they will walk in the light. Life has a way of wearing on us. If we are not careful, we allow life's situations and challenges to set a dark tone over our lives. When we utter the joyful sound noted in this psalm, we rebuke the darkness the enemy wants to cast over us.

Spiritually, there is no substitute for a genuine move of God. We can have moving experiences, but unless God is there, it is like those off-brand items: good, but they do not measure up.

God tells Abram to depart from his family and that he will be the seed of a great nation. Abram obeys and goes to the land of Canaan. There, God repeats the promise, and Abram builds an altar. For some reason, Abram moves again and builds a second altar between Bethel and Ai. Our text ends with the statement that Abram continued moving south.

God had made this promise to Abraham before. However, at this point, Abraham was close to 100 years old and had no children. Had Abraham looked at the sky inside the tent, he would not have seen the stars. God had to get Abraham outside so he could see the plan.

For some, however, decision-making is paralyzing. They may go through the same pro and con analysis, but then they worry about making the wrong decision or disappointing themselves, someone else, or even God. Often, people who find it challenging to make a decision will make no decision, which can result in an even bigger mess.

Greater Life ChurchGrandpa, Tell me 'bout the God of Days - VideoIn 1986, country music duo The Judds had a hit with the song Grandpa (
Tell Me 'Bout the Good Old Days). It is a nostalgic country song in which the singer feels overwhelmed by the rapid changes in modern life. The phrase Good Old Days is often used to evoke an unfavorable comparison of how it is now to some idyllic remembrance of times gone by. The truth is that while things may have seemed much simpler then, there were still difficulties and struggles to endure. Our forefathers endured economic hardships, active world wars, and unsanitary conditions, and very often had...
