     | 10,485 views

    Only when we understand who God is can we understand why He rules and why we should submit to Him.

    “A Nation Under God: The God Who Rules” Jer. 10:1-16 & 18:1-10 It was so easy for Israel to say she was a nation ruled by God. But just who was this God? What was He like? Similarly it’s easy for us to debate whether or not America is a nation under God; but just who is this ...read more

    Holiness For The Child Of God

    Contributed by Richard Cook on Aug 25, 2009
    based on 5 ratings
     | 10,696 views

    Understanding the need for Holiness is often difficult for ministers to get across to their flocks; this sermon teaches the need to seperate ourselves from the world, and worldliness.

    1 Peter 1:16 Because it is written, Be ye holy; for I am holy. Some will argue that Holiness is not important, but I submit that if it is in the Bible it is important. Holiness in the life of a child of God is not optional but is a command; we can see that from our scripture reading. ...read more
