    Glory Of God!

    Contributed by Bala Samson on Feb 11, 2015
     | 9,156 views

    Glory of God is difficult to define or explain, one has to experience it! I pray this devotion would take you into the glorious presence of God and you feel His tangible presence!

    Glory! 2 Chronicles 7:1”As soon as Solomon finished his prayer, fire came down from heaven and consumed the burnt offering and the sacrifices, and the glory of the LORD filled the temple.” “I repeat the glory of the LORD filled the temple!” Glory! This word is so often ...read more

    The One True Living God is a God of love, indeed, but He is also a fearsome God of Wrath to those who would rebuff Him, and a respect-worthy Father who chastens those whom He calls sons.

    The Fear of God February 15, 2015 Morning Service Immanuel Baptist Church, Wagoner, OK Rick Boyne Message Point: The One True Living God is a God of love, indeed, but He is also a fearsome God of Wrath to those who would rebuff Him, and a respect-worthy Father who chastens those whom He calls ...read more

    A message using multiple stories illustrating the goodness of God in his divine protection, divine providence, and divine participation

    God IS Good Introduction: Matthew Henry said “As He is good to all, so he does good – He is good to all his creatures, from the highest angel to the meanest worm, to all but devils and damned sinners, that have shut themselves out from his goodness. All his creatures receive the ...read more

    Almighty God Series

    based on 1 rating
     | 22,612 views

    It is not God's nature to be limited or weak. In removing all limitations of power, we arrive at the omnipotence of God, and we have access to that power to live effectively in an unholy world.

    In Handel’s Messiah, the famous “Hallelujah Chorus” quotes the Book of Revelation, proclaiming: “For the Lord God omnipotent reigneth!” (19:6). Omnipotence means “able to do all.” God is all-powerful; He is unlimited. He can do all that He wills to do. ...read more

    We are saved for good works as God's artwork, and the difference He makes in our lives must be seen.

    Sculptures have always amazed me. You have heard the story of the man who carved art out of logs using a chain saw. His specialty was carving the shape of an angry bear. He loved for people asked him how he did it. He would answer, “I just cut away everything that doesn’t look like an ...read more

    A Jealous God Series

    Contributed by Robert Leroe on Mar 1, 2015
    based on 1 rating
     | 21,273 views

    God is “jealous” in the sense that He expects complete, exclusive devotion; not merely a partial, lukewarm, half-hearted religious observance. Worship belongs to God. He is worthy of worship and has a right to be “jealous” of it.

    The Bible clearly teaches that God is a jealous God. That doesn’t sit well with us; the very notion of the jealousy of God sounds offensive. We think of jealousy as an entirely negative quality--a sin. Yet God declares that He is jealous. God restricts allegiance to Himself alone: ...read more

     | 8,722 views

    These words carried the weight of the world and brought the savior of mankind. You cannot love the baby Jesus and not accept the risen savior. You cannot have one without the other. You cannot have peace, true peace without Jesus.

    The God of Peace Isaiah 9:6-9:7 Introduction- Isaiah 9:6-9:7 As you are turning there, I want you to know the story of Christmas never gets old. In fact we should be spreading the message of Christmas all year long. Each year I try to look at Christmas with fresh eyes, but I should not have ...read more

    What does it mean to please God? How can we please God?

    Pleasing God . . . IT’S A PLEASURE Dr. Lewis Gregory 1. Parent-child Illustration: One of the unique features of the parent-child relationship is that children have a natural desire to please their parents. In the same way, we as children of God desire to please our Heavenly Father. ...read more

    The Sovereignty Of God Series

    Contributed by Robert Leroe on Mar 8, 2015
     | 9,391 views

    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

    Recognizing God

    Contributed by Ajai Prakash on Mar 10, 2015
    based on 1 rating
     | 8,232 views

    Many a times we have wondered what would it be like if God showed up? In fact God is looking for that time alone with you so that you would voluntarily shut yourself out from the busyness of life and respond to His attention. Will we?

    Opening illustration: Children sometimes seem like they have holes in their ears. You tell them what you want them to do, and it goes in and out without ever being registered. But if you promise something special to a child, they will not ever forget. Try to tell your child that you can’t go ...read more
