The Biblical Pattern of Reaffirming Our Trust in a Faithful God

By: Cale Benefield Mar 5, 2024

The lives of the patriarchs begin to establish a biblical pattern carried through the psalms and into the lives of all of God's people. This patterns helps us in the face of questions like: "What should we do when God seems like a liar?" "What's my next step when it seems that his word has failed?"

Complementarian in the Church

By: Steve Bice Category: Sermon Application Tags: Women, Complementarian, Gender, Roles

This past Sunday I spoke of our Sovereign Grace Churches Shared Value of complementarian leadership in the home and the church. Striving to communicate the equal yet different beauty of the creation of man and woman I emphasized (heavily) the privilege and wonder of shining forth the image of God for the glory of God and our joy. However, I am fully cognizant that in emphasizing that aspect I limited the application of what it means to be complementarian in the church. In an effort to help us continue thinking through this highly important topic I thought it may be wise to point you to an article (and website) that will bring more specificity regarding biblical reasoning and application.

SGC Women: A New Year

By: Joy Bice Category: Uncategorized Tags: Trusting God, Women, Joy Bice

Perhaps you don't think much about a new year because life just goes on as it always has. Perhaps the extra eating, lack of routine, and money spent over the holidays has you longing for order. Perhaps you look at the new year as a chance to improve. Perhaps you look at a new year with an attitude of defeat as you consider all that is going wrong in your life or in the world. Perhaps this new year brings about some regret for all the ways you didn't change last year or the failures that you see. Perhaps this new year brings about a anxiousness and fear of the unknown. Or perhaps you are an optimist and have high hopes and expectations for this year and have joy and confidence as you think about it. I relate with pretty much all of these thoughts. I expect that life will march on much the same as it has yet I do long for more order and improvement and, I am tempted to worry about what this year may hold. I am not much of an optimist but I know that I can face this new year with joy and confidence no matter what my own thoughts and fears may be.

SGC Women: Joy in the Morning

By: Joy Bice Category: Women's Ministry Tags: Women, Joy in the Morning, SGC Women, Joy Bice

George Mueller, famous for his faith in God to provide for the many orphans he cared for, is said to have stayed in his time with the Lord each morning until his soul was happy in Jesus. And the scriptures remind us that God's mercies are new every morning because of His faithfulness so we have been given a recurring gift from God to start each day with joy in the morning. Not the kind of joy that is based on how we feel about the circumstances of the day but an inner joy that comes from being accepted by the Father through Christ's sacrifice for our sins and a trust in God's faithfulness!

SGC Women: Clinging to the Cross

By: Joy Bice Category: SGC Women Tags: Women, Gospel, Reconciliation

In just three days my oldest daughter will be married. How did we get here so fast? As I looked for an old blog post to share with you all today this one reminded me, though I am now in a different season of life, to cling to Jesus in the midst of whatever situation I find myself in. That I am reconciled to God through the blood of the cross and have the Spirit living and actively at work in me is truth I don't want to lose sight of - even in the midst of busy wedding preparations!

SGC Women: Joyful Killing Fields

By: Joy Bice Category: SGC Women Tags: Women

It's been a busy season for us. Life is always busy but this season of moving, selling a home, and planning a wedding, though all good, has been a bit disorienting. How thankful I am that God is never disoriented, stressed, or overwhelmed. He is steadfast, never changes, and is always in control no matter what fills our days. I can have peace at any time no matter what the circumstance is simply by looking to Him and remembering that He is on His throne and that He loves me and is committed to me! Praise God for that!

SGC Women: Fear Not...

By: Joy Bice Category: SGC Women Tags: Trusting God, Knowing God, Women, Fear, Anxiety

I grew up in a state where fair skies were the norm, beautiful mountains could be hiked, and the waters of the Pacific Ocean enjoyed. While I certainly enjoyed all of those things, growing up in Southern California also quickly acquainted me with fear. I am sure that I would have been a fearful person no matter where I grew up but the uglier realities of living in Southern California increased my natural tendency to fear exponentially. Turn on the local news and, of course, you were inundated with news of rapes, kidnappings, murders, and even serial killers. But unfortunately there were even more "closer to home" examples as well. A woman in our church was stabbed and killed as she was taking her morning jog by a man who was casually jogging past her from the opposite direction. A guy from our youth group was killed by a gang on the beach. The examples were not all violence. My brother's best friend died in a car accident when he was a teenager. We visited one of my dad's friends in L.A. who went into a depression and lost everything when his wife left him (he was literally living at the park for quite some time as a homeless person). A young wife died of cancer (as did my mom). These people were professing Christians and this challenged my young hopes that God protected those that belonged to him. It was quite obvious to me that God "allowed bad things to happen to good people" and so I became even more fearful.

SGC Women: Ask for the Spirit

By: Joy Bice Category: SGC Women Tags: Women, The Holy Spirit, Ask

I love Sundays; seeing one another, greeting one another, encouraging one another, worshipping our Lord together through song and the preached word...already can't wait for next Sunday! But it's certainly easy to forget the gospel throughout the week isn't it? It only takes a brief amount of time before our memory of what we were so encouraged and challenged by begins to drift. One of the purposes of this blog, beyond announcements and such, is the desire to spur the church on in Godward thoughts throughout the week. Lord willing, as this blog continues to become used by our body it will serve to be an encouragement and reminder of our hope in Christ th
