Ever been in a situation where things seem out of control? Where God doesn't seem to be in charge anymore? Where the frustrations, disappointments, delays are dismaying? Leading to questions like: Why God? Don't you love me anymore? Is following God worth it? The Apostle Paul was found in a situation in Acts where such questions could come to press in. We will look at how he responds to such a situation.

In Acts 19 severe spiritual battle breaks out, to the point that Jewish exorcists are physically attacked by a demon possessed man. What are we to make of all this? Was demon possession only in the past? Why was it so prevalent then but doesn't seem to be today? Can people be demon possessed today? Can Christians be? How can a person be delivered? Is this stuff still going on today? We will seek to tackle these issues through our study of the Bible.

In order to say "Not My will but Yours" in this emotional passage from Mark, Jesus had to act in a radical obedience and trust. In this we should be moved to love Him and to imitate Him.
Sermon discussion topics for parents to use with their children:
- What does this text show us about Jesus' obedience?
- What can we learn from His example?
- What does it show about His trust?
- What can we learn from His example in this, as well?
- Have you ever been faced with trusting God when you didn't understand what He was doing?

Each day we are faced multiple times with frustrations, difficulties, and even scary situations and circumstances... and each time we must choose how we are going to respond. We will look at how one godly man in Scripture provided us a role model of how we should choose in a God honoring way.
Philippians
2 Corinthians 11:24-28,12:7
1 Thessalonians 5:16-18
1 Peter 5:7
Sermon discussion topics for parents to use with their children:
- How can life be frustrating, difficult and dangerous today?
- How was Paul's life that and more?
- Why is it important to realize that we choose many times each day how we will respond to almost any circumstance we face?
- Let's talk about the eight ways Paul chose to do life.

How can we have joy and peace in such a frustrating, difficult, and dangerous world? We begin by realizing how little control we have and yet how much the Sovereign God who controls all things loves us!

Psalm 115:3
Ephesians 1:11

Sermon discussion topics for parents to use with their children:
- What are some of the issues we deal with when life doesn't go as we plan?
- How can we think wrongly about others... about ourselves and our abilities to control the situation... about God?
- Who is in control... what does the world say... what does the Bible proclaim?
- What are the reasons the Bible gives that should make us glad God is in control?
- How does the cross prove God's love for us?

We all face trials, difficulties, painful experiences in life. God is in control... but why does He let these things happen? We will look at two very important reasons: first, God is using these events to let you experience Him in new and closer ways, and secondly, He is going to use you to comfort and encourage others. We will begin our study of the amazing book of 2 Corinthians. If that phrase doesn't mean anything to you, then join us to experience this book in a fresh way and see why it is truly amazing!!
