Rodney Arnold Sun, 17 Apr 2011 11:00:00 -0500 Part 3 of My Life as Joe: Does it ever feel like your life is in limbo while you wait for something to happen? Joseph had to wait for a long, long time - but we learn that God had a purpose for Joe's waiting - just like he has a purpose for ours. Rodney Arnold Sun, 10 Apr 2011 11:00:00 -0500 Part 2 of My Life as Joe: Tempted? When it's only me VS temptation, temptation wins.

Rodney Arnold Sun, 03 Apr 2011 11:00:00 -0500 Part 1 of My Life as Joe: As dysfunctional as your family may appear to be, God does have a plan.

Rodney Arnold Sun, 27 Mar 2011 11:00:00 -0500 Part 2 of Staff Takeover: No drop offs allowed? Church is not the spiritual drop off service for cleaning up your children's spiritual life.

God as the Holy Spirit has your back." Rodney Arnold Sun, 27 Feb 2011 11:00:00 -0500 Part 5 of Elements: Why did Jesus have to die? Someone has to pay for the price of sin." Rodney Arnold Sun, 20 Feb 2011 11:00:00 -0500 Part 4 of Elements: Think God is trying to set limits for his love? God's rules are not a condition for his love, but a confimation of his love." Rodney Arnold Sun, 13 Feb 2011 11:00:00 -0500 Part 3 of Elements: The grass is not always greener on the otherside. Even though things looks better in curtain " B ", curtain " A " with God will always be the better choice. The bottom line is that sin changes everything." Rodney Arnold Sun, 06 Feb 2011 11:00:00 -0500 Part 2 of Elements: Even Darwin admits to it. God created everything in 7 days. Not only did he create everything but he also set up the entire future. From proving the Trinity to our salvation by never having to live in the darkness. God is the one stop for all things." Rodney Arnold Sun, 30 Jan 2011 11:00:00 -0500 Part 1 of Elements: The truth and nothing but the truth. The Bible is the absolute truth when it comes to God's word.

His gift of his son, is the one and only gift that we can claim and never lose." Rodney Arnold Sun, 19 Dec 2010 11:00:00 -0500 Part 3 of [Re]gifted: We need to learn to forgive. As it says in the Bible, Do not take revenge my friends, but leave room for God's wrath, for it is written: ,"It is mine to avenge; I will repay," says the Lord. On the contrary; " If your enemy is hungry, feed him; if he is thirsty, give him something to drink. In doing this, you will heap burning coals on his head." Rodney Arnold Sun, 19 Dec 2010 11:00:00 -0500 Part 2 of [Re]gifted: Where your treasue is, that's where your heart is. God gave us his treasure, His Son, so we know where his heart is.

Rodney Arnold Sun, 28 Nov 2010 11:00:00 -0500 The 2nd service, The coaches, like Coach Summit, Pearl, Dooley, were examples of how God is still working in the lives of that generation.

UT Football Chaplain, Roger Woods Sun, 21 Nov 2010 11:00:00 -0500 In the 1st service, athletes, like Johnathon Crompton, Nick Reveiz, and Chris Walker were used as examples of how God is affecting the lives of athletes and the younger generation.

UT Football Chaplain, Roger Woods Sun, 21 Nov 2010 11:00:00 -0500 Part 3 of Really? : Living God's way doesnt mean good fortune. It means that living God's will give you his support. That means he will provide exactly what you need, when he knows that you need it. Rodney Arnold Sun, 07 Nov 2010 11:00:00 -0500 Part 2 of Really? : Hey! Everything happens for a reason... No, not really. God does cause sin or bad things happen but, he does overcome and restore these things as long as you you know him as your savior and follow him as he has commanded. Rodney Arnold Sun, 31 Oct 2010 11:00:00 -0500 Part 1 of Really? : Do you really want to follow your heart? The Bible says that your heart is decietful and sick.

Beautiful and glorious beyond all possible imagination. Rodney Arnold Sun, 03 Oct 2010 11:00:00 -0500 Part 2 of To Be Continued...: Hell is not the place to be. In the Bible it is said that gouging your eye out or cutting your hand off is a much better feeling then spending eternity in Hell. Rodney Arnold Sun, 26 Sep 2010 11:00:00 -0500 Part 1 of To Be Continued...: Two things that are a given in life are death and taxes. Sin has made death a certainty. If we put our faith in the Lord, then we need not fear death for we will fly away home to God. Otherwise, death is an eternity in Hell. Rodney Arnold Sun, 19 Sep 2010 11:00:00 -0500 Celebrating victory in our everyday lives. Our victories are so amazing that only God can claim the credit not us. Rodney Arnold Sun, 12 Sep 2010 11:00:00 -0500 It's not just about being dunked. Baptism is a sign of identification. It's a symbol of death and resurrection. Thirdly it's represents cleansing.

Rodney Arnold Sun, 15 Aug 2010 11:00:00 -0500 Part 1 of Growing Up: Partnerships not memberships. The church needs partners rather then members. If your a partner then you take ownership whereas memberships all you want is perks and privileges. Rodney Arnold Sun, 08 Aug 2010 11:00:00 -0500 Part 4 of Throwback: Volunteering. When everything looks to be at a standstill in the church, God shows us how we can solve problems of the church by allowing us to step up and split the responsibility. The church should help each and every person as a team instead of one person doing it all. Rodney Arnold Sun, 01 Aug 2010 11:00:00 -0500 Part 3 of Throwback: Fellowship. According to God, true fellowship takes commitment in the form of love. Love for each other must be real not hypicritical, we must hate sin (the stuff that keeps us from God), be devoted to brotherly love, keep you zeal for God, be joyful, patient, and faithful. We must also be hospitable, bless and not curse. rejoice, and live in harmony. Leave room for God's wrath, "It is mine to avenge; I will repay" says the Lord. Rodney Arnold Sun, 25 Jul 2010 11:00:00 -0500 Part 2 of Throwback: Sunday Matters. Sunday matters to God, me and to people who are unbelievers. Church should be understandable to everyone whether they grew up in the church or not. Rodney Arnold Sun, 18 Jul 2010 11:00:00 -0500 Part 1 of Throwback: Jesus said "I will build my church." When it comes to homecoming for the church, we need to look at the original church that Jesus built for the foundation of what church is.

God is a patient, intimate, merciful father. He is the father you have now, ever wanted, or ever imagined a father could be. Craig Groeschel Sun, 20 Jun 2010 11:00:00 -0500 Part 2 of One Prayer: God is here. No matter what happens or where you are, God is there with you.

Rodney Arnold Sun, 02 May 2010 11:00:00 -0500 Part 4 of Healer: God says, if we humble ourselves, pray, and turn from our ways then he will forgive and heal us.
