Seeing God As He Is Series

Contributed by Christian Cheong on Jan 11, 2012

This is an introduction to the series. How we see affects our relationship with Him and the way we live. Our view of Him is affected by how see Him and how we think He sees us. We must not assume that God is just like us or reduce Him to human terms.

[Adapted from Chip Ingram’s book God: As He Longs for You to See Him.] We are starting a new series called – God: as He Longs for You to See Him. Why is there a need to see God rightly?

We Are God’s Temple

Contributed by Craig Condon on Oct 5, 2015

The key to God’s temple is our faith. It keeps us close to God because the Holy Spirit will live in us just like God lived in the temple in ancient Israel. The Holy Spirit assures us that in our relationship with Jesus we can do what he did.

The passage from 1 Corinthians 3:10-11, 16-23 is a continuation of Paul’s discussion with the church at Corinth, but the focus is now on the necessity of unity among believers.

Rejoice In The Lord Always!

Contributed by Reuben Bredenhof on Jan 16, 2022

The source of our true rejoicing is found only through a right relationship with God! Everything apart from him is crumbling and disappointing. Yet our God is eternal, glorious, lacks in no way, and never fails. So those who enjoy a living fellowship with Christ are given true gladness of heart.

Are we known as a joyful people? Is that the reputation we have, that we’re often rejoicing? Perhaps not. On first impressions, our worship is pretty sombre. In speaking about our faith, most of us are reserved, and we keep our emotions well in check. Even when we have what we call “the celebration ...read more

Prepare For Revival Series

Contributed by Brad Beaman on Feb 5, 2022

Revival affects our relationship to God, but also to one another. Peter talks about how as our salvation affects us it should give us a love for the unlovely. Jesus goes so far as to say, by this will all men know that you are my disciples that you love one another.

To get a fire started you need some paper, dry kindling wood and a flame. Once you get the flame started you must take care to make sure the flame gets air.

The Palestinian Covenant Of God With Israel

Contributed by Raymond Petzholt on Mar 12, 2024

God’s Covenants with Israel permanently & irreversibly set God’s plan for Israel & the Middle East. The Unconditional Palestinian Covenant (Deut. 28 - 30) enables us to understand Israel's relationship with the Promised Land throughout her History. It is a faith inspiring study.

The Palestinian Covenant (Deuteronomy 28-30; Ezek. 16) We must understand the Certainty of God’s ‘Promise’ & His ‘Oath.’ Hebrews 6:16-19 says “Men verily swear [the promise] by the greater: & an oath [of the covenant] for confirmation is to them an end of all strife. (17) God, willing ...read more

Got Faith?

Contributed by Kerry Haynes on Aug 7, 2016

Sometimes God's plans are so much greater than our plans that all we can do is keep hoping, keep putting our faith in the One who always works for our good and his glory. As we cultivate a relationship with Christ, we build our faith muscles.

Everyone else cannot have a relationship for you with God, and they won't! Everyone cannot walk your journey and they won't! Everyone cannot go where you're going and they can't! Everyone cannot accept the destiny God is taking you to, only you can!!
