Tonight we went for the third week to Vineyard. Rich Nathan the pastor of the church was the speaker tonight and he certainly put a punch into faith tonight. The topic of is talk was Finding God. I am sure you can find the podcast to his speach under the Vineyard link to the right of this post. I dont think I have ever experienced a 'sermon' like this in any Catholic, Baptist, or other non denominational church that I have been in.
Bringing together modern day events and the state of Christianity he settled into finding five challenges in faith. I honestly can not remember them all and would have to listen to the podcast again myself but he brought them all to a central point in defining that even philosophers, scientists, and atheists are finding their faith again. In finding our faith we are finding God. There are so many challenges that are placed before us now as we undergo some rough economic downturns. Overall I think we have to always keep in mind in the end through our faith that:
3:7 "To the angel of the assembly in Philadelphia write: "He
who is holy, he who is true, he who has the key of David, he who opens and no
one can shut, and who shuts and no one opens, says these things: 3:8 "I know your works (behold, I have set before you an open
door, which no one can shut), that you have a little power, and kept my word,
and didn't deny my name. Revelations 3:7-8

That is awesome! I'm going to see if I can locate the sermon. I always say the closer we are to God, the harder the devil works ...so beware! We are always being challened & tested in our faith.We must stay near the Lord so we stay strong in the fight against the devil.
