    Drawing Out The Nails

    Contributed by Bala Samson on Mar 30, 2013
     | 4,427 views

    I invite you all to come with me to the foot of the cross where Jesus was crucified, if we do not read this passage from our heart, soul and mind, then we would sure miss out on essential spiritual essence!

    Drawing out the nails! John 19:38”After this, Joseph of Arimathea, being a disciple of Jesus, but secretly, for fear of the Jews, asked Pilate that he might take away the body of Jesus; and Pilate gave him permission. So he came and took the body of Jesus.” I invite you all to come ...read more

    God invites us to draw near to Him as we are, offering honest hearts and lives, promising His transforming presence and mercy in return.

    Friend, you made it. Another week of noise, news, and nagging worries, and here you are—hungry for a word from Heaven. Maybe your heart feels thin. Maybe your prayers feel like paper airplanes tossed into a stiff wind. Maybe a smile covers a soul that feels scattered. Take a breath. The God who ...read more

    Where True Worship Sends Series

    Contributed by Dave Mcfadden on Nov 7, 2011

     | 3,673 views

    How are we to go forth into the world if we have truly drawn near to God in worship?

    As we have looked to verse 22 to learn about the priority of worship, we have made note that true worshipers “draw near to God with a sincere heart in full assurance of faith.” One who truly worships God gathers with God’s people believing that God meets with, speaks to, and works among His people ...read more

    This sermon deals with some of the reasons we fail to draw close to God and the virtues of being close to God.

    How close is close enough? Closer Zeno’s paradox. Imagine I had high school boys and girls lined up at opposite ends of the gym and had them half the distance between them every 10 seconds, how long would it be before they are touching? Well, if I always half the distance, they will never ...read more

    Margin Of Grace

    Contributed by Alison Bucklin on Dec 23, 2023
     | 1,513 views

    The reason God has given us a margin of grace is so that we might reconsider and draw near to him, not to remove the consequences of staying at arms length.

    Nearly a quarter-century after most of the world signed a convention outlawing the use of antipersonnel landmines, the number of people being killed or maimed by these insidious and lethal weapons remains high—and rising. The Landmine Monitor for 2021, released on November 10, reported 7,073 ...read more

    The appearance of Melchizedek in Hebrews 7 is there to draw us not to this mysterious figure Melchizedek, but there to draw us to God through Jesus Christ.

    Superior Order Questions, questions, questions. As far as I’m concerned, it is good for us to come to moments like these and ask our questions. We should bring our really big questions, right?

    Loving God

    Contributed by Matt Skiles on Jan 14, 2017
     | 10,456 views

    If you ask the average person if he loves God, his answer will probably be “yes.” However, many people who sincerely believe they love the Lord are mistaken. Sadly many people who say they love God don't even really "know" Him.

    Introduction: If you ask the average person if he loves God, his answer will probably be “yes.” However, many people who sincerely believe they love the Lord are mistaken. Sadly, they may not even know Him. Words alone are no proof of love. In fact, we use the word love rather loosely, ascribing ...read more
