    Powerful Series

    Contributed by Gordon Pike on Jun 19, 2021
     | 4,120 views

    Now … you want to talk about REAL power? You want to talk about power beyond our ability to imagine it? Beyond our ability to measure it or record it? If you want to talk about “real” power, you need to talk about the Source … the omnipotent … all powerful … all mighty … El Shaddai!

    You want to talk about power? In August of 1883, a volcano erupted on the Island of Krakatoa. The initial blast sent a cloud of gas and debris 15 miles into the atmosphere.

    One of the first sermons I wrote and posted for this site dealt with the scientific brilliance found in the first chapter of Genesis. There are other scientific standards found in this opening chapter of the inerrant and all-sufficient Word of God, and they are worth exploring and affirming.

    When I read the first chapter of Genesis, I do not see the development of an ancient myth or legend. I do not see the fruit of an overactive imagination of an anonymous sage trying to explain to his "backward" clan or tribe of how they came to be. I do not see any collection of ...read more

    Providence - God's Ongoing Work

    Contributed by Todd Catteau on Feb 22, 2022
     | 2,427 views

    Is God active in the world or a passive observer? The doctrine of Providence claims he is the former - the creator who is still sustaining the world and working in it to bring about his purposes. This sermon explores the ways He is active and the peace providence gives us.

    Providence Today I want to talk about God – shouldn’t surprise you since we are in church • He’s a being that the more you know the more you don’t know • God is knowable but incomprehensible • We will never totally understand everything about God but that shouldn’t keep us from knowing what we can ...read more
