    Addresses the Attack on America, September 11, 2001

    Introduction to Scripture Reading… A few weeks ago we started a series of sermons on Colossians. Today we were to begin to move into the second chapter of that book. But this week we have experienced a tragedy that eclipses anything we could have imagined. Among professors who teach seminary ...read more

    God is sovereign over all things, from the fates of nations to the details of our own lives. Therefore, He is worthy of our trust and confidence.

    For the past couple of weeks, we’ve been looking at some of the attributes of God; trying to better understand what God is like. So far, we’ve considered God’s goodness and His wisdom. This morning we’re going to look at what the Bible has to say about His power. After all, what good would it do us ...read more

    This is about trusting God.

    The Book of Psalms is an interesting book. Basically it’s a book of ancient Hebrew poetry. I’m not one who was every really into poetry. I dreaded the section on poetry in English class. I’ve never been much on symbolism. I had an English teacher in high school who saw symbolism in everything, ...read more

    Beginning With God

     | 30,449 views

    Just like he did at the outset of creation, God can take the formless voids of our lives, give them shape, and speak light into them.

    “Beginning with God” Genesis 1: 1 – 3 First Things First There is a saying, “First things first.” Well, the first thing is God. Our passage from Genesis begins this way. It says, “In the beginning God . . .” The Bible begins with God. It begins with the account of God creating the heavens and the ...read more

    God's Valentine

    Contributed by Bruce Howell on Feb 9, 2009
    based on 21 ratings
     | 10,799 views

    God has sent us a Valentine—His Word! Then He sent us His Son who is love personified---a “living” valentine. I Corinthians 13 reminds us of the importance of being filled with God’s love.

    God’s Valentine I Corinthians 13:1-3 VALENTINE’S DAY! NO ONE KNOWS FOR SURE WHERE OR HOW IT ORIGINATED, but we do know who is responsible for keeping it before the public’s eyes---the greeting card, candy, and floral companies. St. Valentine is the designation for several saints. The most ...read more

    God’s servants need to focus on God’s activity rather than the negativity of God’s people.

    1) And Yahweh proceeded to speak to Moses, “Go, ascend from this place, you and the people you caused to ascend from the land of Egypt toward the land which I promised to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, saying, ‘To your seed, I will give it 2) And I shall send a messenger (angel) before your presence ...read more

    The Oneness Of God

    Contributed by Jerry Flury on Mar 12, 2009
    based on 9 ratings
     | 9,118 views

    There is one God, but three personal expressions of the one undivided, infinite, and eternal nature of God.

    The Oneness of God John 17:20-26 In Deuteronomy 6:4-5 we read a verse that every Jew has cherished the Shema Israel - (Shema Israel, Adonai Eloheinu, Adonai echad) "Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God, the Lord is one! You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with ...read more

    What does it take to be God’s friend? What was it that Abraham and God had that made theirs such a unique friendship?

    THE FRIEND OF GOD “And the scripture was fulfilled which saith, Abraham believed God, and it was imputed unto him for righteousness: and he was called the Friend of God” (James 2:23). There is within the human personality a need that is universally felt. It is a need that is sought and ...read more

    Godlessness is rampant, there is so much negative around us except for one thing; God. When the negativity of this world forces its way upon us, refocus!

    To God Be the Glory: David's Prayer 1 Chronicles 29:10-20 (King James Version) 10Wherefore David blessed the LORD before all the congregation: and David said, Blessed be thou, LORD God of Israel our father, forever and ever. 11Thine, O LORD is the greatness, and the power, and the glory, and the ...read more

    Life can get tough at times but what ever you going through God is able to see you through.

    Is God able? As we go through life living it out day by day we ultimately will face many troubles, hardships, trials and tribulations. As we pass through troubled times, we will inevitably come face to face with a real question. A question, we sooner or later must all ask ourselves. It’s a ...read more

    The God Of The Bush Series

    Contributed by John Gaston on Feb 1, 2017
     | 12,472 views

    God's most important O.T. name was spoken by God Himself from a bush on fire. It reveals not only who and what He is, but is His covenant-keeping name. Eight other names are appended onto His covenant name, giving a rich, deep reveal of what God is like!

    THE GOD OF THE BUSH Ex. 3:1-14 INTRODUCTION A. HUMOR 1. President Bush was going through an airport when he saw a man who looked like Moses. He asked him, "Are you Moses?" The man acted as if he didn't hear. 2. He asked him again, "Are you Moses?" The man refused to look at him. The third time, ...read more

    Delighting In God

    Contributed by Jerry Flury on Apr 27, 2014
    based on 5 ratings
     | 22,573 views

    Jonathan Edwards wrote “God is glorified not only by His glory’s being seen, but by it being rejoiced in. When those that see it delight in it, God is more glorified than if they only see it…” The question before you is "Do you truly delight in God?"

    Delighting in God Psalm 37:4 "Delight yourself also in the LORD, and He shall give you the desires of your heart." Have you ever asked yourself - "Why was I created? What is the purpose of life?" In 1 Peter 4:11 we read. "That God in all things may be glorified." The chief end of man is to ...read more

    How can we develop a passion for God?

    Passion For God Matt. 22:37 A lawyer once asked Jesus what was the greatest commandment. I believe that Jesus' answer probably shocked him. See, the Pharisees had over 300 commandments that they had made up. They had gotten so caught up in the law, in keeping the law that they had forgotten what ...read more

    God desires to have a close, intimate, personal ...loving, dynamic, powerful relationship with you. Christianity is not about a weekly trip to church. We must move beyond that. Updated Substantially September 2018.

The Scripture Readings for this day are: 1 Kings 8:1, 6, 10-11, 22-30, 41-43; Psalm 84 ; Ephesians 6:10-20 and John 6:56-69.
