    Sermon Outline: "God Alone Is Sovereign”

    Contributed by Ronald Moore on Sep 15, 2025
     | 191 views

    God alone is sovereign—He grants visions, He allows thorns, and He shows His power not through our strength, but through our weakness.

    I. A Vision Beyond Words (vv. 2–4) Paul recounts being “caught up” to Paradise. He emphasizes what he does not know: “Whether in the body or out of the body, I do not know. God knows.” The content of the vision is hidden—“inexpressible words…not lawful to utter.” Point: Even in revelation, Paul ...read more

    Sometimes the greatest gifts God gives us are the weaknesses we would never choose for ourselves.

    Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Aug 22, 2025
     | 165 views

    Where have they gone? I am losing all my friends and it is accelerating. This examination is on the passing of a Christian from earth, or if you like, the removal of Christ’s sheep into the heavenly fold. This subject is sad for some, but for all Christians it ought to be understood.

    In the Bible, giving of thanks goes far beyond an annual American celebration on a day we remember to thank God for a multitude of blessings. It is a preoccupation of every Christian and extends even to those elders who are "before the throne" in heaven.

    Today, I want to explore the significance of thanksgiving in our lives as Christians. While Thanksgiving is often associated with a single day of gratitude in America, the Bible teaches us that giving thanks goes far beyond an annual celebration. It is a continuous attitude and action that should ...read more
