    Pulpit notes for preaching on the Beatitudes.

     | 1,273 views

    It is not good when our worship is nothing more than a formality, rather than an engagement with the One whom we are supposedly worshipping.

    ABOUT FORMALISM IN WORSHIP. Psalm 50:7-15. Taken as a whole, the content of this Psalm appears as a court case, with El Elohim Yahweh, “the Mighty God the LORD” (cf. Psalm 50:1) presiding as Judge (cf. Psalm 50:6) - and God’s covenant people in the dock (cf. Psalm 50:5). Here the ...read more

    Sermon Outline: "God Alone Is Sovereign”

    Contributed by Ronald Moore on Sep 15, 2025
     | 145 views

    God alone is sovereign—He grants visions, He allows thorns, and He shows His power not through our strength, but through our weakness.

    I. A Vision Beyond Words (vv. 2–4) Paul recounts being “caught up” to Paradise. He emphasizes what he does not know: “Whether in the body or out of the body, I do not know. God knows.” The content of the vision is hidden—“inexpressible words…not lawful to utter.” Point: Even in revelation, Paul ...read more

     | 1,024 views

    Gratitude aligns us with God's will, opens the door to His blessings, and transforms our perception of reality. It's about celebrating every good thing, even partial miracles, and turning every situation into an opportunity for praise.

    The Bible tells us to be happy, pray a lot, and say thanks no matter what's happening. This is what God wants for us. It's not about finding some secret plan for our lives, but about becoming more like Jesus in every situation. Saying thanks is like the key that unlocks God's blessings. Imagine you ...read more

    Since this psalm is so familiar, we’re in danger of missing the depth of its meaning. And, because it’s setting is in the world of sheep and shepherds, many of us city slickers can slide right past its richness.

    The Lord Who Leads Most everyone has heard of Psalm 23. It’s a poem with no peer and has been called the sweetest song ever sung. Abraham Lincoln read it to cure his blues, and President Bush proclaimed it publicly to calm our nation’s fears after 9-11. I read these words out loud a week ago ...read more
