Contributed by Dwayne Dickson on Feb 13, 2016

The first of a series on the essential stories of the Old Testament. This sermon describes God's character and being. It also explores the idea that we are the pinnacle of God's creation. God created us to pour His love into us.

The Story of God Introduction This Sunday we are beginning a study of some of our favorite Old Testament Bible stories.

Is God Unjust? Series

Contributed by Dennis Davidson on Mar 26, 2012

We should not think God unfair. God's mercy is far wider & higher that anyone dare hope, but no one is entitled to it & no one can demand from God an accounting or the principles on which He bestows mercy & grace nor that He should bestow it differently t

ROMANS 9: 14-18 IS GOD UNJUST? [1 Peter 2:6-10] Has God's plan gone awry because Christ was rejected by the very people who were prepared for Him, meaning the Jews?

The scroll with seven seals that Jesus was handed in chapter 5 is now open. The first four seals loosed the four horsemen of the apocalypse: war, violence, famine, and death.

The God Of The Bush Series

Contributed by John Gaston on Feb 1, 2017

God's most important O.T. name was spoken by God Himself from a bush on fire. It reveals not only who and what He is, but is His covenant-keeping name. Eight other names are appended onto His covenant name, giving a rich, deep reveal of what God is like!

My God Series

Contributed by Andrew Dixon on Oct 1, 2020

For many people, God is far away and is to be approached only at times of need or danger. However, that is far from the truth. God wants each of us to have a very personal relationship with Him. Here's a study on how we can call God as "My God". Be blessed abundantly.

We read in Psalm 91:1-2, “He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High will abide in the shadow of the Almighty. I will say to the LORD, "My refuge and my fortress, my God, in whom I trust."” (ESV) The Psalmist had a personal relationship with God, and therefore could say of Him, ‘My ...read more

Name Of God Series

Contributed by Andrew Dixon on Sep 25, 2021

Some reason that if the death of Jesus is the atonement for the sins of the whole world, why is everyone’s sins still not forgiven? The Lord Jesus has completed all that needs to be done for our salvation, however, it is up to each one of us to accept this free gift of salvation.

We read in Psalm 91:14,“Because he holds fast to me in love, I will deliver him; I will protect him, because he knows my name.” (ESV) As we continue this series of studies on Psalm 91, from verse 14 on wards are the words of assurance from God Himself.
