If we are honest most of us would say, if I avoid risk I will have peace. Yet, in the passage we looked at today Jesus seems to be telling us we must in fact take the risk if we are to have peace. As Jesus shared with His followers, He made it clear that there will be sacrifices, and our devotion needs to be to Him. Just as clearly we see if we follow Jesus, He is the one who can bring a perfect calm into any storm. Check it out.

Taking A Risk - Caleb January 28,2018
We use many excuses as we wrestle with God in regards to obedience, at least one of which is true. At some point we will say I am to old for that, while age keeps increasing it is nothing more than an excuse. Today we looked at one person who could have used the age excuse, but his desire to serve God was to strong. Check it out.

Taking A Risk - Abraham
This Sunday we continued to talk about taking a risk. Sometimes the fear comes because of what it might cost us, be it something or someone. Abraham faced that when God ask him to give up someone he had waited a hundred years to arrive. That is the fear that holds many back, what will it cost and will it be with it. Check it out.

Taking A Risk- Noah
When we think about taking risks, there are many times we feel like we are the only one. It is true that Noah was the only one building the ark, but many were being called to obedience. Today you may be the only one called to reach your family member, or coworker, but you are not alone, many are being called as well. Think about this as you pray about taking a risk. Sunday's sermon at Edgemere Bible Church.

What We Really Need For Christmas
It is that time of year where you are trying to figure out what to get everyone in our life. It gets to the point that we are not sure if we need anything, or if we even need Christmas at all. In reality there is something we need, and we really do need Christmas. I hope you will check it out.

As we enter the season of giving, we have been talking about giving at Edgemere Bible Church. We have talked about giving our time, our talents, and giving thanks. Sunday we talked about the hardest part of giving, the giving of our resources. Of course our first thought goes to money and that is hard to give. Yet, the Bible tells us that if we look at how we spend our money, you can add time and talents as well, then you will see the focus of your heart. Our giving is not just a money thing, it is a heart issue. A heart issue that if changed will lead you and I to one of the best Christmas experiences you will ever encounter. Check it out, and check out your heart as well.
