Exodus 19 - Fear God But Draw Near With Holy Boldness! How Does That Work? Series

Contributed by Ross Cochrane on Dec 28, 2009

What I love is that we are not told to stand back from God. We are not told not to go too close. Unlike the people of Israel, we are told to be like Moses and to draw near to God.

Exodus 19 - Holy Boldness! I can’t say I have ever felt afraid of God, but I have felt the awe of His presence, and I have been overcome by a sense of His majesty. I remember standing out on a mound of earth out on a property and looking up at the stars. Away from the city, the stars seem so much ...read more

The Lord Is Merciful Series

Contributed by Patrick Nix on Jan 5, 2012

God is everything mercy ever hoped to be. He isn't just part mercy - He IS mercy. God has NEVER been unmerciful. It's who God is; mercy is His very nature. Mercy can be simply defined as 'Love in Action' (Eph. 2:4). It is living compassion (Ps. 116:

I must admit that I'm not always the most merciful person in the room (not even close) - so this study had some really convicting things for me to work through. We'll progress through the nature of God's mercy, the actions of His mercy, and our response to mercy - all from Psalm 103. God is ...read more

The Martyr's Mindset

Contributed by Samuel Sampson on Aug 27, 2018

We are not called to be martyrs in Christianity, but we are called to love God even to the point of readily giving up this temporal life if need be.
