Knowing God Series

Contributed by Chris Appleby on Jul 5, 2010

We all "know" there’s a God, but how can we come to know him.

This is a series based on and heavily dependent on Timothy Keller’s Best Seller "The Reason For God" for which I’m deeply grateful. It uses much of his argument though with various additions by myself or the other preachers of the series. I want to suggest that we all “know” there’s a God. Even ...read more

Connecting With God

Contributed by Christian Cheong on Feb 23, 2010

David praises God and acknowledges His role in his life. This psalm expresses in 7 different ways God’s role in our lives today.

There is One that has never made a mistake, One that we can totally put our trust in and believe every thing He says whether we understand it or not. And that of coarse is our Great God.

Is Allah God?

Contributed by Todd Ernst on Oct 25, 2015

What is Islam and where did it come from? If it is a religion of peace, how does that compare with what we see in the news? Is Allah simply God by a different name?

Is Allah God? I’ve been wanting to address the issue of Islam for a while now, but simply never had a chance to get around to it. It’s not exactly a priority in our corner of the world. Chances are slim that you’re going to run into a Muslim in Greenfield. However, we should ...read more

The Fear Of God Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Apr 9, 2021

The word fear in relation to God can mean very opposite things. There is a fear of God which is terror at his might and wrath, and there is a fear of God which is reverence, or worship. There is still another which is knowledge and wisdom of God.

Much of the success of cons and cults is the direct result of their clever use of words. So many arguments are often based on a perverted manipulation of words, but ...read more
