Obedience is pleasing to the Lord and will bring powerful results in our lives individually and corporately.

Results Of Obedience To God Text: John 14:21 Introduction: Early on in life, we become aware that we are to obey.

The Sum Of God's Thoughts

Contributed by Darrell Jones on Nov 1, 2005

Psalms 139:17 tells us, "How precious also are thy thoughts unto me, O God! How great is the sum of them." I list several ways in which God thinks about us.

So I just want to share why I am thankful that God thinks ...read more

God: The Source Of Wisdom Series

Contributed by Daniel Teberian on Mar 16, 2023

James tells us exactly where wisdom comes from: God. Knowing that God is the ultimate source of all wisdom, we must trust in Him more than we trust in ourselves.

If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask God, who gives generously to all without reproach, and it will be given him. [James 1:5, ESV] I apologize in advance for being such a Bible geek, but I want to understand what the word “wisdom” means in this context. In the Greek, the word for wisdom is ...read more

No Development Without God Series

Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Apr 17, 2010

Like Jesus and Stephen, Pope Benedict's words are rejected by a world that cannot admit its need to be changed from within.

April 19, 2010 Caritas in Veritate The secular world doesn’t get it. In fact, the leaders of society have rarely gotten it in any age, because they don’t understand what people really want. In New Testament times, they resisted the change urged by the Lord Jesus and the Holy Spirit ...read more

The Secret To Knowing God Series

Contributed by Dr. Lewis W. Gregory on Jan 24, 2022

What does it mean to know God? It is not intellectual knowledge about Him. Knowing God involves having a vibrant intimate personal relationship with Him. This relationship should be ongoing, ever growing, and maturing.

Experiencing The Rest Of God

Our God Is Greater

Contributed by Christopher Benfield on Dec 15, 2019

John declared that the God within us is greater than the god of this world. Paul revealed that if God was for us, who or what could possibly come against us? These two statements reveal attributes of God that complement each other, and provide comfort and assurance for believers.

Our God is Greater 1 John 4:4; Romans 8:31 Today I would like to conclude the series dealing with profound statements in the Bible by actually considering two statements from different Apostles. These two statements are personal favorites, having brought much comfort to my life over the years. ...read more

Through the grace of Christ we encounter the love of God, and participate in the fellowship of the Holy Spirit.

PARTICIPATING IN THE TRI-UNE GOD. 2 Corinthians 13:11-14.

Compelled By The Love Of God Series

Contributed by Guy Mcgraw on Mar 11, 2012

As amazing as these truths are Paul says the most compelling thing that should motivate us in our love for Christ is what He did in giving His life for us. Greater motivation than how great heaven will be or how horrible to face judgment.

Last week we had two messages based upon the first 13 verses of chapter 5. Paul focused strongly upon the aspects of things beyond this life: the transformation of our earthly body to a building made without hands in the heavenlies, our being newly clothed in our eternal apparel and last Sunday ...read more

Look for God’s hand in all of life. We rejoice in his presence when souls are won to Christ. We can also rejoice in his presence when things look critical.

Acts 16 describes the conversions of Lydia and an unnamed Philippian Jailer. Some commentators also believe that the girl with the spirit of divination whom Paul exercised was converted.
