    Indescribable And Knowable

    Contributed by Brian Bill on Jul 1, 2018
     | 8,720 views

    The way we get to know God is by studying His interests and attributes, His character and His characteristics. An attribute is what you “attribute to someone.” Specifically, God’s attributes are those character qualities that uniquely define who He is.

    How do you really know what someone is like? You can start by looking at what their interests are. For instance, it would be very easy to conclude that I’m a Packers fan by looking at the sweet swag I’ve accumulated over the years. I received this Green Bay Bobble Head that actually has my ...read more

     | 7,355 views

    The Mount of Olives was important to Jesus. It is a place of praise, a place of rest, a place of communion, a place of surrender, a place of blessing, and a place of retreat – things important to both Christ and believers today.

    I’ve entitled our message today “Lessons from Olivet,” and I wish to begin by reading Luke 22:39, which is our focal verse. This verse says, “Coming out, He went to the Mount of Olives, as He was accustomed, and His disciples also followed Him.” This morning, I feel led to preach a message about ...read more

    Too Much Religion In The Wrong Place

    Contributed by Michael Stark on Sep 12, 2019
    based on 1 rating
     | 5,833 views

    Religion is the expression of one's faith put into practice. For many professed Christians, religion is all they have, because they don't have the faith of Christ the Lord. Too much religion will tend to lead us astray. Faith will lead us to Christ.
