Riches Of God's Grace Series

Contributed by Robert Higgins on May 14, 2008

Many of us pursue riches but we do not pursue the riches of God’s grace. Why? Is it because we do not understand the value of it?

Have you ever dreamt of what it would be like to be rich? I don’t mean just well off, I mean rich? I think everyone has at one time or another in their lives…I think that is why we like to watch “Lifestyles of the rich and famous” and to gawk at the Cleveland Auto Show at cars we would never be ...read more

Contributed by L Lee on Sep 17, 2010

Learn more about the character and attributes of God. It is difficult to please God or respond to Him appropriately if we do not know what He is like.

Sovereignty of God Why is the study of God’s sovereignty important? Accepting someone’s sovereignty is never easy. God says that He is sovereign and as a result He does things that is all right for a sovereign God to do. But we humans object. We tell God that even if He is sovereign, ...read more

God Bless You

Contributed by Grant Van Boeschoten on Apr 5, 2017

Our text today is often used as the benediction at the end of the service. It is taken from Numbers 6:22-27. I want to show both the meaning to this blessing as well as examples of how God throughout time has enacted this blessing on His people.

Some fun with origins to start the message. “God Bless You” - AD 590 Pope Gregory I commanded unending prayer and to say God bless you after a person sneezed, since sneezing was one of the first signs of the plague “Good Bye” - from 1565, the original phrase was “God be with ye” became contracted ...read more

But why should the Christian pursue this respectable and dignified life? The grace of God is the reason why every member of the God's forever family can and should ...read more
