Intimacy Of The Divine/Human/Believer Series

Contributed by Harold Jenkerson on Feb 18, 2016

God is intimate with His creation. God is very intimate with the Believer. In the intimacy of the divine and the believer there is fellowship and dialogue. It is this intimacy with the living God that makes the believer unique in the world.

3. Intimacy of the Divine/Believer “… all may be one, as You, Father, are in Me, and I in You; that they also may be one in Us … ” (Joh 17:21). Intimacy is closeness in a relationship. Intimacy opens the door of the heart, so that the other person feels accepted and ...read more

The Divine Foundation For Human Existence Series

Contributed by Harold Jenkerson on Feb 20, 2016

The trinitarian nature of the triune God is the pattern for the creation of the individual. This triunitarian nature is the foundation for developing a systematic theology and psychology of the individual, especially the believer.

The Divine Foundation for Human Existence Scripture: Ephesians 1:3-14 Theme: The foundation of the Christian life. Focus: The triune God as revealed in the passage. Point: Knowing the role of the ministries of the triune God enables ...read more

Divine Ability For Human Necessity Series

Contributed by Lalachan Abraham on Oct 8, 2015

Proverbs 19:21 says “Many are the plans in the mind of a man, but it is the purpose of the LORD that will stand.” A "man's heart" is a little world, full of Dreaming, scheming, and planning. We are always devising. To every device of all hearts, God's "counsel," His design, exists ...read more

We're Only Human - September 20, 2015 - Acts 14:8-18 We’ve been paying close attention to the Book of Acts for the last number of months, with some breaks. But we’ve been, hopefully, learning a fair bit about the early church, which as I’ve mentioned, is really our early, ...read more

Wrapped - Pt. 1 - In Humanity Series

Contributed by Steve Ely on Dec 3, 2016

No one pays that much attention to the wrapping. It’s what is inside that counts . . . right? Maybe this Christmas we should stop and consider how the gift was wrapped.

Wrapped Pt. 1 - In Humanity I. Introduction There is usually very little attention paid to the wrappings. Even if great time and effort is made to make sure each corner is tucked and folded perfectly. Even if the bow is picked to match exactly. Even if every seam is precise. Most of the time all ...read more

Going Beyond Human Sickness

Contributed by Derek Geldart on Jan 22, 2022

Where do you go when your mind is broken, you feel empty and without a sense of purpose, incapable of finding any joy in your life? You seek a cure from the Great Physician Jesus whose demand to deny self and follow Him is a yoke that is light in His sustaining grace and strength!

Going Beyond Human Sickness Matthew 11:28-30, 16:21-27 Online Sermon: http://www.mckeesfamily.com/?page_id=3567 What do you do when you get sick? For many of us our first response is to look for an “over-the-counter” solution to see if we can find a cure for whatever ails us on our own! I ...read more

Ruth: Refugee With A Human Face

Contributed by Stephen Aram on Jun 21, 2021

The Book of Ruth doesn't get much attention, but it can remind us that God sees refugees and can use them in his purposes.

I imagine we probably all have a favorite book of the Bible. The gospels should be high on everyone’s list because they tell us the story of Jesus. And when the church’s heart and mind are fixed on Jesus, everything comes together. When we lose sight of Jesus things go wrong. Luke is my ...read more

Attaining True Human Dignity Series

Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Dec 18, 2021

During this Christmas season, it makes sense that we should follow Mary’s prophetic declaration, “all generations will call me blessed”, by praying her prayer, the Magnificat, and asking God to give us the same spirit of obedience she had.

December 22 The Magnificat Today's vesper antiphon speaks to Jesus as the "King of all the nations, the only joy of every human heart." One of the now "traditional" movies lots of people see each Christmas is one set in the middle of the last century. It's called ...read more

God Values Human Life Series

Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Sep 11, 2021

This message addresses the topic of abortion by looking at two key passages that reveal how God cherishes human life even before conception in the womb. It was written for "Sanctity of Life Sunday" back in 2003.

Bush made “A Proclamation.” Based on our country’s Declaration of Independence, he declared that Sanctity of Life is the belief “that every human being is endowed by our Creator with certain ‘unalienable rights’.”(1) He said that the ...read more

Solving The Fundamental Human Problem Series

Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Dec 31, 2018

The fundamental problem of humanity never hits the headlines, never comes as a blast e-mail to our computers. But we know what it is.

Psalm 51 What is the fundamental human problem? We can’t get the answer from commentators or the mainstream media, or even most of the alternate media. The fundamental human problem is not poverty, or migration, or nuclear weapons or climate change. Those may be difficulties that rise to the ...read more

Approval Of Human Beings Or God Series

Contributed by Bill Walker on Jul 10, 2017

Galatians is all about grace and is the antidote to legalism. For Paul, it was about Christ crucified and his becoming a slave to Christ and not the Law.

APROVAL OF HUMAN BEINGS OR GOD Galatians 1 I once attended a worship event and before the speaker took the stage a choral group was singing. I was to lead a prayer before the speaker began, so I was silently worshipping and reflecting on my words for the prayer. As the choral group sang a very ...read more
