Manna: A Heavenly Meal For A Hungry Multitude

Contributed by Donnie Martin on Aug 30, 2007

This sermon draws comparisons between the manna of the Old Testament and the grace of God in Christ Jesus. The manna of God’s grace is made available to us when we least deserve it. But then, that’s the nature of God’s grace.

Manna: A Heavenly Meal For A Hungry Multitude Text: Ex.16: 1-4; Ps.78: 25 Intro: As we enter Exodus 16, we find the children of Israel doing what they did so often in their wilderness wanderings—complaining.

Face-To-Face With Your Maker

Contributed by Kerry Haynes on May 27, 2018

What will it be like to see God face-to-face? Isaiah does, and notes a pattern for us: we need to experience God's glory, sense our own unworthiness, receive God's cleansing, and respond to God's call. Then, we walk in fellowship with the God who made us.

Abraham, out of concern for his nephew Lot, in an episode that sounds like an auction, begs God to be merciful. Five times, ...read more
