    God's Limitations

    Contributed by James Lowe on May 3, 2007
    based on 25 ratings
     | 11,826 views

    There are some things that God limits Himself to.

    God’s Limitations To most of you this title may seem a little improper. How could an Almighty God have limitations? Do we not teach that God can do anything? After all, God is omnipresent (everywhere at once), omnipotent (all-powerful), and omniscient (all-knowing). So if God is all of that, ...read more

    WE NEED TO FIGURE OUT EXACTLY WHAT PLEASES GOD

    EPH 5:1Be imitators of God, therefore, as dearly loved children 2and live a life of love, just as Christ loved us and gave himself up for us as a fragrant offering and sacrifice to God. 3But among you there must not be even a hint of sexual immorality, or of any kind of impurity, or of greed, ...read more

    The Wrath Of God Series

    We are embarrassed and uncomfortable about the concept of the "wrath of God." However, Revelation is good news for those victims who long for an end to evil’s reign and pray, "Come quickly, Lord."

    I love this passage of Revelation -- I can’t read it without laughing outloud at one of the best memories of my ministry. Let us now hear the word of God from Revelation 16, beginning with verse 1. (Read Revelation 16:1-21) I suppose I should explain why I find this so uplifting. It all started ...read more

    God’s love is complete when it is reproduced in us. God’s love generates our love. When we love, we show that we are living in the Light.

    Sermon Series on First John, “Collecting Evidence of Faith”...“God is Love” I John 4:7-21 -Pastor Bob Leroe, Cliftondale Congregational Church, Saugus, Massachusetts C.S. Lewis suggested that God’s love for us is a much safer subject to consider than our love for others. On this Sunday ...read more

    We, the saints of God, are reliant on our Heavenly Father for His righteousness and His life for us. If it were not for God, each of us would be lost in the Valley of Despair.

    THE BREATH OF GOD Let us remember that God is still on the throne. He is the same yesterday, today and forever. Jesus is seated at the right hand of the Father ever interceding on our behalf. We, the saints of God, are reliant on our Heavenly Father for His righteousness and His life for ...read more

    Nebuchadnezzar dreamed a message that God was giving him about man’s history from his time forward.

    Got GOD? ---------------- Dan 2:3 And the king said unto them, I have dreamed a dream, and my spirit was troubled to know the dream. Dan 2:31-35 Thou, O king, sawest, and behold a great image.

     | 11,141 views

    If we really understood the holiness of God, we would never stop praising Him for His grace.

    “Who among the gods is like you, O LORD? Who is like you—majestic in holiness, awesome in glory, working wonders?” (Exodus 15:11). “I am the LORD your God; consecrate yourselves and be holy, because I am holy” (Leviticus 11:44). “‘To whom will you compare me?

    God proved His love for us by what He was willing to give up for us: His Son.

    When a man wants to prove His love for a woman, what does he do? • He may write a poem. • He may compose a song • He may buy her an expensive gift. • He may ask her to marry him. What did God do to prove His love for us? Romans 5:8 gives us the answer: “But God demonstrates his own love for us ...read more

    Jesus commands us to have a righteousness that surpasses that of the Pharisees and Scribes. Just how do we accomplish this?

     | 3,740 views

    How can a man be just with God? This is the question Job asked. What could the answer be?

    Ever since the time that man fell in the garden, because of his sinful state, he could not have fellowship with God. You see, our God is a holy God. Therefore, sin cannot approach Him. Notice I didn’t say that He couldn’t come near sin. For too long we’ve looked at how sin defiles holiness. It’s ...read more

    How wonderful it would be if Christians today would live in such a way that God Himself would “show off” His approval of us by manifesting His Divine Power in our lives as He did in the life of Jesus Christ! I believe that it is His will to do so in thes

    based on 1 rating
     | 14,431 views

    Have faith in a just God. Justice flows from Him. Wait for the Lord. Delayed judgement is not injustice but the mercy of God. Don't take vengeance. Let go and let God do the judging.

    Why do bad things happen to good people? And why do good things happen to bad people? • When the twin towers of World Trade Centre collapsed and killed nearly 3000 people, where was God? • When the tsunami hit Japan and destroyed thousands of homes, where was God? • When my wife ...read more

    The Favours Of God Series

    based on 1 rating
     | 15,122 views

    Solomon was blessed with wisdom, riches and honour, and they are the favours of God. Let us acknowledge the favours of God in our lives. We seek God, not the gifts.

    The Queen of Sheba came to visit. She has heard of Solomon’s fame and his “relation to the Name of the Lord” (10:1). She came to see it for herself. • She was in awe of what she saw. It was beyond her imagination. • She asked him many questions and saw the WISDOM of Solomon. She looked around ...read more

    Absolute God

    Contributed by Stephen Belokur on Jul 27, 2016
     | 4,809 views

    Many in this world do not believe in any idea that is absolute. Jesus was NOT one of those. Jesus declared the Gospel in absolute terms with no "wiggle room" built in. Thank you, Jesus, for such a glorious gift!

    John 14:1-14 As we look up this Scripture we are (hopefully) remembering some of the sermon from last week when we saw that: Jesus lived His life with the Father ever before His face And that we have a natural inclination to take our eyes off of Jesus and look at the things of this world which ...read more

     | 17,285 views

    God is a God of vengeance and He will judge sin and evil. We trust God and leave it to Him to execute perfect justice, and not take matters into our own hands.

    We have been reading the devastating influence of the house of Ahab, in Israel and also in Judah. • Ahab has died but his evil ways continued to permeate the land and corrupt the people. God will act to stop this. • In today’s passage (2 Kings 9) we are going to read the rise of a man whom God ...read more
