  • To God Be The Glory! Series

    Contributed by David Dykes on Oct 31, 2014
     | 14,958 views

    God is bigger than any person’s ability to even imagine God, and if you think you have condensed God down to some little thought in your mind and you’ve got him figured out where he’s convenient to you and for you, you’ve committed idolatry.

    God’s grace is His unmerited favor. And that means we can’t earn it. We can’t work for it, and we can’t change His mind about it, even if we tried. He pours out His blessing on us not because of what we do, but because of who He is.

    Tell everyone how good, the good news is! "From the fullness of His grace we have all received one blessing after another" (John 1:16, NIV).  God wants to pour out His blessing and favor upon you each and every day. I talked Sunday from psalms 68:19 It says in the Psalms that He daily ...read more

  • Pray Boldly!

    Can our prayers really change an all-powerful and all-knowing God’s mind? How does prayer work? We’re going to see prayer in action as we examine a prayer offered by Abraham to the Lord. He prayed boldly and the Lord responded. What can we learn from that prayer about the prayers we offer?

    Nearly 1000 years after Abraham lived, the Lord wrote through the psalmist, “Call on me in the day of trouble; I will deliver you, and you will honor me” (Psalm 50:15). The invitation was not a new one from the Lord. It was an invitation that God had extended to his people from the beginning of ...read more

    Those of us alive today in the kingdom of God have a greater experience than John the Baptist because we have advantages that were once only dreamed about: the forgiveness of sin, Christian community, an indwelling Holy Spirit, and the mind-blowing beauty of the gospel story. These elements make the kingdom of heaven a greater reality for present-day followers of Christ.

     | 6,593 views

    We know that it is not by might, not by power, but by my Spirit says the Lord, but we set out on our walk with the Lord by sight and might. We need Romans 8 to keep us walking by faith. The right way to walk with God is by the Spirit of God.

    We can put walking in the Spirit of God in a Shakespearian way. To Be (spiritually alive) Or Not to be (spiritually alive) That is the question. And what better way to propose an answer to that question with the chapter from Romans that tells us about the Spirit filled life. Romans Chapter 8 ...read more
