    Have you ever been in a relationship with someone and it seemed like you could not please them? That’s somewhat true of God, because if you try on the basis of your own behavior to earn God’s approval or his glory, you’ll miss the target every time.

    INTRODUCTION People often say about others, “To know him is to love him!” This is really true of Jesus. To know Jesus is to love him. If you know him, you love him. If you don’t know him, you can’t love him until you do know him. I hope today you will meet him if you ...read more

    Jesus’ answer reveals that we have obligations both to man and God. Are we aware of our obligations toward God? What do we really owe Him? Our life - time, tithe, talents, and sharing our faith, among other things.

    All of us have payments to make. All of us have obligations to meet. It is a way of life. • We owe for the car. We owe for the house. We owe for the fridge. • A bumper sticker reads, “We owe, we owe, so off to work we go.” • We’ve got to work because we’ve so much to pay up. Along with the ...read more

     | 8,676 views

    God is not scrambling about trying to work out His plan or make last minute corrections. When we fumble the ball or tragedy occurs, God’s plan has not slipped a gear. The tragedy is a part of God’s plan for our faith to grow and for His glory.

    Opening illustration: Consider Charles Colson, the aide to Richard Nixon who was sent to jail for Watergate. As a result of his experience as a convicted felon, Colson founded Prison Fellowship, now the world’s largest Christian outreach to prisoners and their families. Prison Fellowship has more ...read more

    “How long will you waver between two opinions?” We need revival! Every kind of problem and disaster has happened to the USA. Have we repented yet? Do we still hesitate to surrender all to Christ? "If Jehovah is God, then serve Him!"

    Today I want to talk to you about building codes. If you get ready to build, you will need to go down town and get a permit to build.

    They will tell you that if you are going to build, there are codes you must abide by. Some people have a problem because they have a hard time following instructions. The building codes are given for every builder to build by. One of the most important things in building any building is to have ...read more

    The Book of Hebrews gives us insight into the identity of God, but also it reveals what God is not. It’s important to know what God is not.

That God is trustworthy, that God is serious, and that God is faithful. Today we’re looking at the opposite in a sense: Jesus also ...read more

    God is very much at work behind the scenes of our lives! If we don’t get that, if we miss this wonderful truth, we are going to go through life missing cues, acting in front of the wrong sets, or worse, not showing up for our part at all! Also, if we don’
