    Where Is God?

    Contributed by John Covell on Oct 17, 2001
    based on 44 ratings
     | 5,921 views

    God says we need him and, even though we might not often think of it in these terms, we wish we didn’t need God. We don’t want to need God.

    A few weeks ago, I was given a list of 75 questions asked by our elementary kids about God. One of them was, “Where is God?” A few astronauts have said that there must not be a God because they’ve been out in space, and they didn’t see him there. Some say God’s in the earth, he’s in the rocks, he’s ...read more

    Altar Of God

    Contributed by Jeff Poms on Jan 16, 2007
    based on 8 ratings
     | 8,555 views

    This could easily spur a series but i believe this is a core teaching for the believer wanting to know more about their position in Christ and the Character of God

    Altar Of God Intro: I didn’t come here to preach a nice message to you, I am not here to boost my ego or try out my skills. You didn’t come just to hear smooth words, meet some nice American, and you certainly are not in the wrong place. We are here because God has heard your prayers and the cries ...read more

He went to the synagogue to reason with the Jews and the God-fearing Gentiles, and he spoke daily in the public square to all who happened to be there. He also had ...read more

    As I was driving today, God dropped in my Spirit how he was a promise keeper, and this is the Bible Study that I want to deal with tonight.

    The Promises of God God’s promises are sure, settled, and sealed — and they will come to pass. 2 Corinthians 1:20 (KJV) For all the promises of God in him are yea, and in him Amen, unto the glory of God by us.” The first thing we must understand is that God is not a man that He should lie.

     | 6,496 views

    God wants us to hold one another accountable to His truth, but He wants us to tolerate our cultural differences; He wants us to make every effort to do what leads to peace and mutual edification among believers.

    A Clash of Cultures (Romans 14:1-23) A. Many churches are held hostage by SPIRITUAL terrorists who hold the church back in the name of being OFFENDED or claiming to be WEAKER BROTHERS. 1. If a vegetarian joins our church, should we forbid all meat at a church dinner? 2. If one person finds our ...read more

    Victory Is Where We Live

     | 10,955 views

    When it comes to the things of this world, God is not interested in how successful we are. Success can be measured. When it comes to the things of this world, God wants nothing less than complete, total and unquestioned victory for us.

    I don’t have any notes tonight because I’m going to read a little bit. There are many in the Body of Christ who, when they pray and nothing happens, they say to themselves “I just want to see a little success. I want to see something positive happen.” That is not what God is after. God is not ...read more
