Adonai Series

Contributed by Gordon Pike on Aug 16, 2020

Freedom comes when I realize that I am not in charge of the universe … God is … and I let Him do His job and I do mine … which is to be an attentive and obedient servant of the Lord and Master of the universe.

If he loved his master and wanted to continue ...read more

Satan's War Against God's Creaton Ii Series

Contributed by David Scudder on Feb 16, 2009

If God’s judgments sound strange to us it’s because we do not fully understand the holiness of God and the sinfulness of man. Man’s purpose for living is to glorify God and every person will ultimately glorify God.

Revelation 6:3-4; 12:3-4a Purpose: To expose the awfulness of sin. Aim: I want the listener to hate sin and forsake it. INTRODUCTION: At first glance, it seems odd to us that the glorious worship of chapters 4 & 5 is immediately followed by the awful judgments that begin in chapter 6. But, the ...read more

Psalm 51 Title: "Prayer For Pardon And Purity” Series

Contributed by John Lowe on Jan 3, 2021

Psalm 51 was composed after David was confronted about his adultery with Bathsheba (2 Samuel 12:1-25). The psalmist is ill (v. 8), perhaps near death (v. 14), and longs to be healed. Yet far weightier than that physical longing is his passionate desire for forgiveness.
