God Alone

Contributed by Rev. Dr. Leslie Verghese on Sep 12, 2018

Psalm 62

In life’s most threatening times, you will be at peace if God alone is your salvation and refuge. - The main theme of the psalm is the right and wrong objects of faith. • If we trust in God, we’re secure. • If we trust in men or in things, we’re depending on that which is lighter than breath ...read more

High On God Series

Contributed by Kerry Haynes on Sep 16, 2018

God wants us to live deliberately and to yield all control to God. Anything else is a cheap substitute. Nothing else fulfills us. When we are "high on God" (filled with the Spirit), all kinds of special things happen.

High on God Ephesians 5:15-20 We just came from a state that has legalized marijuana use. And you see it everywhere, particularly on the only road to the beach where we used to live. Cannabis Center. The Weed Shack. It’s there for the buying. (Sorry, I didn’t bring home any souvenirs!) Why do ...read more

"God Is Hungry”

Contributed by Bubot Parago on Sep 21, 2018

To satisfy His cravings is finding the Source of our longings! Oooohhhh... the feeling is mutual. Just like St.Augustine’s favourite quote: "Our Hearts are Restless Until They Rest in You"

God to be hungry? Do you think God has hunger pains? At first glance this question has an obvious answer; No! God is not confined to a human body, He is Spirit. He has no need for food. God is self-existent and does not need any outside source to assist Him in sustaining life. However, though He is ...read more

God Is In Control Series

Contributed by David Owens on Sep 24, 2018

In this sermon on Acts 12 and Peter's miraculous escape from prison, we wrestle with the truth that God is in control. This leads to a lot of assurance, but it also leads to trust.

Introduction: A. You have probably heard the glib saying, “Every cloud has a silver lining.” 1. Although it is true that suffering can lead to blessing, it is easier to say it than experience it. B. One day a young man who sold magazine subscriptions door to door, came home with $25 which he ...read more

The Providence Of God Series

Contributed by Christian Cheong on Sep 30, 2018

God planned for the return of His people. We see the providence, promise and provision of God in this move back to Jerusalem.

The book of Ezra begins with the end of the exile. • The Kingdom of Babylon has fallen to the Persians, and with the dawn of the Persians empire the subjects were asked to return to their respective homelands. • The first wave of returnees took place in 538BC and that’s where the book ...read more

Agree With God

Contributed by Marilyn Murphree on Oct 7, 2018

We often say things that overrule what God has said and then we wonder why our prayers are not answered. He tells us he is the Lord that healeth us and we disagree because we still have pain in our body and do not feel healed.

Agree with God Job 22:21-25 ESV “Agree with God, and be at peace, thereby good will come to you. Receive instruction from his mouth, and lay up his words in your heart. If you return to the Almighty, you will be built up” (English Standard Version). We often say things that overrule what God has ...read more

God Is Faithful

Contributed by Alvan Lewis on Oct 8, 2018

What is the main lesson we learn from the Book of Esther?

I want to begin my sermon this morning with complete honesty – yours, not mine. Here is the question: How many of you glance, not read or buy but glance at the tabloids when you in the Supermarket checkout? How many of you read the tabloids’ headlines? I saw one that read: • Royal Couple ...read more

The Rejected God

Contributed by Hans Krause on Oct 22, 2018

We can call ourselves Christians, go to church, give our tithes, etc. and yet have rejected God effectively. The picture Jeremiah gives of life in Judah comes close to life in the Christian West, with several gods competing for our loyalty.

[Sermon preached on 4 March 2018, 3rd Sunday in Lent / 3rd year, ELCF Lectionary] It is so endearing at times to see little children in a big supermarket or shopping mall. They come in with mom or dad, but as soon as they see something interesting—toys, candies, pets, or anything else that ...read more

Wrestling With God

Contributed by Sam Mccormick on Oct 26, 2018

On the way to meet his extranged brother Esau, Jacob experienced a strange encounter with a "man," who Jacob identified as God himself.

WRESTLING WITH GOD Please turn to Genesis 32. Having made a covenant of peace with Laban, his nettlesome father-in-law, Jacob traveled southward through the country east of the Jordan River. The “angels of God” met him there. Their purpose seems to have been to set up a meeting between Jacob and ...read more

The Move Of God Series

Contributed by Christian Cheong on Oct 27, 2018

God moves the remnant through Haggai and Zechariah to restart the rebuilding of the Temple of God. He assures and encourages them.

The rebuilding of the Temple of God came to a halt, because of the harassment from the Samaritans and the pressure from the Persian officials. • And it stopped for 16 years, until the 2nd year of King Darius’ reign. With the Temple unbuilt, God was left out of their mind and their lives. • The ...read more

The God Of Food Series

Contributed by David Owens on Oct 29, 2018

In this sermon, we discuss the way that food can become an idol for us as we allow food to do for us what only God should do.

A. A certain Texas rancher had a pair of boots made, and they turned out to be too tight. 1. The bootmaker insisted on stretching them, but the rancher wouldn’t let him. 2. The rancher explained to the bootmaker his reason for wanting the boots to be too tight: “There is little in my life that is ...read more

Forgiving God Series

Contributed by Allan Quak on Nov 1, 2018

What happens when you are so upset at God that you actually tell Him you are upset with Him and that He doesn’t care? When you feel upset … and disappointed … and hurt by God … what do you do? This message wrestles with these questions.

Contributed by John Gaston on Nov 1, 2018

The God Of Sex Series

Contributed by David Owens on Nov 5, 2018

In this sermon, we discuss the fact that sex is good, but when sex is used outside of God's intended ways, the god of sex twists it into something destructive.

A. As you know, children often do “say the darndest things.” 1. A precocious 7 year-old once asked her mother for a baby brother. a. Her mother was taken aback by the request, but explained in a soothing tone, “I’m afraid that just isn’t possible, darling. Babies cost a great deal of money, and ...read more

The Word Of God

Contributed by Matthew Kratz on Oct 28, 2016

Scripture is 1) Permanent (Psalm 119:89-91), 2) Precious (Psalm 119:92-93), 3) Preserving (Psalm 119:94-95) and 4) Perfect (Psalm 119:96)

As far back as the late medieval period, men such as John Wycliffe and John Hus called people to return to Scripture. When challenged by hostile church officials, Hus repeatedly answered his opponents, “Show me from Scripture and I will repent and recant!” Hus’s devotion to ...read more
