    Contributed by David Scudder on Feb 21, 2011

     | 11,165 views

    Why should we spend so much time learning about the names of God? Our biggest danger is making up our own God, which the Bible calls idolatry, and the names of God teach us who God is and what He is like. Do we have a problem with idolatry today?

    Purpose: To show the dangers of idolatry. Aim: I want the listener to commit to learning more about God by studying God’s names as a cure for idolatry. INTRODUCTION: Starting next Sunday morning I intend for us to begin a journey together exploring 25 of the most common names for God in the Old ...read more

    This is a sermon that focuses primarily on Amos 8, looking at how a deficiency of the Word of God plays out in our lives individually and as a culture.

    Amos has always seemed to me like a man I could enjoy being around. He was plain spoken, and to the point. He was the kind of guy who appreciated hard work. Amos was a shepherd. He didn’t shepherd those pretty, fluffy white sheep. Based on the word used, he worked with a really ugly, ...read more

    With displays of the power of nature, it seems appropriate to turn to Scripture to provide us with lessons from nature’s storms. You may not have had to face hurricanes lately, but all of us have, and will, face our share of storms in our lives.

    Psalm 29 The Voice of the Lord 11/21/04 D. Marion Clark Introduction I first preached this sermon to my congregation in Florida. At that time two hurricanes had struck the state – Hurricane Charley, then hurricane Frances, which passed over our community. Florida had never been hit by ...read more

    But Divine healing is the will of God! Jesus healed ALL who came to him. There are 5 Guarantees in the Scriptures that God will heal us: the Atonement; God is a Healer; He's a Covenant Keeper; our Father who loves us; and He is compassionate.

    Are You Worshiping Nature Or The Creator?

    Contributed by John Hickman on Oct 22, 2013

     | 7,533 views

    Is our culture today worshiping "Mother Nature" instead of the Creator? Jesus went out into God's Creation to hear from God, to pray, to be refreshed and recharged for ministry. Shouldn't we be doing the same?

    One hundred years before the birth of Jesus a Roman Philosopher, Cicero, wrote, “Nature herself makes the wise man rich.” The poet Ralph Waldo Emerson said that “Nature never hurries. Atom by atom, little by little she achieves her work.” Antoinette Brown Blackwell wrote ...read more
