A God Who Knows It All

Contributed by Dean Morgan on Sep 1, 2004

When the Bible teaches that God is omniscient – that He has complete knowledge – it is not saying that God is bright. It is not saying that He is sharp. It is not even saying that he is a genius. These are the finite expressions of a people severely li

Our Faithful God Series

Contributed by Brian Bill on May 13, 2003

Here’s a simple definition: “God’s faithfulness means that everything He says and does is certain.” He is 100% reliable, 100% of the time. He does not fail, forget, falter, change, or disappoint. He says what He means and means what He says ­ and there

The Goodness Of God

Contributed by Mark Baker on Jan 2, 2009

Ask any Christian if they believe that God is good and they would certainly say, well of course. But believing that He is good is not the only requirement in pleasing Him. The Word says, we must also believe that He is a rewarder of those who diligently

Hebrews 11:6 But without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him. Rewarder - "one who pays wages" (misthos, "wages," apo, "back," didomi, "to give"), is used by metonymy in Heb. 11:6, of ...read more

Why Did God Send Jesus? (John 2:23-3:21) Series

Contributed by Garrett Tyson on Jan 9, 2022

When we look at Judeans' rejection of Jesus, it's an open question. Did God want his people to be condemned, or not?

Did God Create Humans Male And Female - And Non-Binary Or Trans-Gender?

Contributed by Dr. Craig Nelson on May 26, 2021

The subjective ever-changing cultural mores continue to creep into the church to replace the Bible as the final and absolute authority in the life of the Born-Again Christian.

What Would Jesus Say To Osama Bin Laden? Series

Contributed by Greg Hanson on Apr 16, 2007

This message compares Osama to Saul (Paul), as one of the most hated and feared people in the world. Yet, even someone who has performed such evil, is not beyond the reach of God’s love and forgiveness.

He proclaimed a holy war against Christians everywhere. He uttered murderous threats toward anyone who claimed to be a follower of Christ. He captured and persecuted Christians, opposing all who followed Jesus. He even approved of and participated in mobs of people killing anyone who claimed to ...read more
