The God Who Blesses

Contributed by Hans Krause on Oct 19, 2018

The Aaronic blessing is part and parcel of our Sunday liturgy. What does God do when he blesses us with those words? What do we receive from him in the Benediction?

Understanding Who God Is Series

Understanding who God is not an easy task. The 10 commandments let us know that if we do not get the first 4 commandments right, we will not get the last 6 correct and our relationship will suffer both with God and each other.

The purpose of the series is for us to see that a right relationship with God is needed before we can have a right relationship with each other. If you noticed ...read more

Astounded By Who God Is Series

Contributed by Ed Vasicek on Apr 12, 2021

Right Theology – if embraced and allowed to permeate our minds and hearts – produces right worship and a right attitude toward God. The Spirit can then use this right theology and attitude to coax us along to surrender ourselves to Him.

Astounded by Who God Is (Romans 11:33-36) 1. The Dunning Kruger effect is so important for us understand. It is, in a way, defined in detail in the book of Proverbs. Even Shakespeare caught on to it when he wrote, “The fool doth think he is wise, but the wise man knows himself to be a fool.” 2. ...read more

Contributed by Andrew Dixon on Mar 5, 2022

For our meditation I wish to focus on the word ‘satisfy’. If we look around us, there are many discontented people who are not satisfied with what they have.

For you will enjoy the fullness of my salvation!” (TPT) In continuation with our study on Psalm 91, let us turn our attention to verse 16.
