If God is so good then how come there is so much suffering in the world and in our lives individually? Yet we are told that God is good so either we've been lied to or there is something wrong with our natural understanding of God's goodness.

In this sermon, Pastor Justin Cox brings a very valuable sermon about the things we blame God for that aren't His fault and gives a good explanation about some of the frustrations we meet with day-to-day as Christians. This sermon gives light to the reasons for the things God wants us to do and why we don't want to do them.

Too often we put qualities and characteristics on God that do not really belong to Him. Is God really behind all the rules that we place on ourselves or is it our own doing? Hopefully this sermon encourages you to trust God's judgments rather than your own.

No matter what you do in your life everything requires a certain state of mind. Especially when you're dealing with people, you have to know how to relate to people in very specialized ways. In the same way, as Christians, there is a certain frame of mind that we have to have in order to handle our the circumstances that may come up in our lives.

How we relate to Christ is often demonstrated by how we relate to other people and to our circumstances. In this sermon Pastor Justin Cox gives us some helpful tips on the state of mind that we should have as Christians when dealing with every area of our lives.

We all like to have things go easy for us. We like to be comfortable but there are times in our lives that as Christians we have to stand when we want nothing more than to give in to sin, or to fit in with the people around us. Sometimes we don't want to be courageous. We may not always want to ask ourselves the "hard questions" about our relationship with God or others. But are you willing to trust in Christ in your circumstances?

In this message, Minister Chris Facey continues his "I ain't no punk" character list with some very challenging points that are sure to bring out things that either are in your heart or things for you to look out for to make sure you don't fall into. If you're not giving God everything you're likely to see your limits from this message. Be blessed as you listen to this convicting and humbling sermon.

We all face the kinds of circumstances that require that we go past what we think we can endure in order to serve God. Sometimes it's a person in our lives that exhausts all of our natural abilities to be loving and patient. Sometimes it's a temptation to give in to lust or pride that will push us to our limits and make our flesh desperately desire to defy God's Word.

In this very encouraging message, Minister Chris Facey gives us ways that we can fight against the temptation to give up on God when the going gets tough. We all need courage if we're going to be Christians--this walk is not always easy. Will you stand when everything inside is telling you you'll never make it? This is a very timely message.

Sometimes we as Christians may not realize that what we say and do sends a message to people about who and what we are. This is especially true when we go through trials because in trials we show everyone, including God and ourselves, not only what we are made of but where our confidence is.

A Christian is supposed to go through trials differently from everyone else, but we often find ourselves scared so God can't use us to send the world a message about His faithfulness. Pastor Cox challenges us not to be "ska-er-da" in the midst of opposition because it's through opposition we find a closer walk with God and we give the world a stronger testimony of His goodness.

We come across moments in our lives everyday that are impossible for us to live for Christ through if we do not prepare ourselves beforehand to come up against them. We can sometimes see these kinds of situations from afar--problems at work, temptations to lust around certain people at school, drama at home--and unless we prepare for these trials we won't stand when the time comes.

How do we prepare for trials if we want to live for Christ? Pastor Cox shares from God's Word about Apostle Paul's heart and how he got ready for trials before they came--his determination to be unashamed, his search for enough courage to stand in each moment, and his ever-present desire to magnify Christ in his circumstances. This sermon will convict and challenge you to make sure Christ is at the center of your heart and life.

We’ve all heard the terrible stories of prison life through documentaries, movies, or from people who have been there and come back. None of us want to be there. It is a place of extreme discomfort. But often times, though we may not realize it, God will deliberately place us in “prisons” in our lives so that we can impact more lives for Him.

It may be that you just want to be comfortable and problem free, and you say you’ll serve God then, but if you wait until then the people around you in your prison—your uncomfortable circumstances—won’t be able to see the light of Christ shinning in the midst of the darkness. It may be tough but don’t pity yourself, look up and find Christ where you are.

Pastor Cox preaches a sermon on rejoicing in the midst of the difficult circumstances in our lives that we feel stuck in, and encourages us to use every opportunity in our trials to preach the true gospel to those around us.
