Search Me Oh God And See If There Be Any Offensive Way In Me And Lead Me In

Contributed by Paul Fritz on Mar 11, 2004

Even though exploratory surgery is not pleasant it is occasionally necessary. Just as David asked God to search him for any sin of omission or commission so we need to allow God to run a diagostic check on our hearts and minds. When we allow the Lord to d

Faith Xl

Contributed by Dave Browning on Dec 22, 2008

This sermon addresses the levels of a Christian’s faith and how to increase your faith.

I’m glad that you are here, but my guess is that you are not all here for the same reasons. Some of you may be here to keep peace at home. Your spouse wants you here, so you’re here. Some of you might be here to try to find a spouse. And really, it’s not a bad place to look. My hope is that most ...read more

The Mind Of The Lord Series

Contributed by Robert Leroe on Aug 25, 2013

God transcends words. He is beyond language. We cannot reduce Him to our experience. God is unique and different from anything in this world. He is massive, boundless, beyond all imagining. God is His own category.

I’d like to explain to you Who God is…but I can’t. Isaiah speaks of God as so massive, so far above us, that we can barely take in who He is. God surpasses human comprehension. Some people think they can put God “in a box”; that is, have Him fully figured out. How ...read more

Help My Unbelief

Contributed by Robert Leroe on Dec 4, 2012

Dealing with doubt when overcome by circumstance, a "crisis of faith." Reflective Christianity involves questioning what you believe while continuing to believe what you are questioning.

“Lord, I believe; help my unbelief.” Most of us have said this at one time or another; We’ve hit a “crisis of faith” in which we waver in our self-confidence and in God’s ability to come to our aid. I went to college with Ed Dobson, an evangelical leader who is ...read more

The Sovereignty Of God Series

Contributed by Robert Leroe on Mar 8, 2015

God’s the infinite Ruler of all; He is “running the show.” Nothing can prevent His predetermined plan. Nothing takes Him by surprise. Those who see God’s hand in everything can best leave everything in God’s hand.

It’s been said, “How do you make God laugh? Tell Him your plans” (G.K. Chesterton). Our plans aren’t always in line with God’s. We may try to fight God’s will, but someone pointed out, “Your arms are too short to box with God” (J. W. Johnson). The ...read more
