Afraid Of God

Contributed by Jeremy Houck on Jun 11, 2005

John Calvin wrote, "Men are never duly touched and impressed with a conviction of their insignificance, until they have contrasted themselves with the majesty of God." The more we look at God, the more evil we discover.

Afraid of God Isaiah 6:1-8 Over the past few weeks on Sunday evenings we have been looking at the Biblical portrait of Jehovah. We have looked at the fact that we were created by God with a holy hunger that only the creator can fill. Then we spent three weeks looking at the qualities we find in ...read more

Contributed by Anthony Perry on Apr 19, 2009

It’s Time To Turn The Page

Contributed by John Gaston on Dec 29, 2016

Joseph, after 13 years of trauma, was elevated from the dungeon to Prime Minister. He's a great example on how to "turn the page" from an unpleasant period of life to a positive, fulfilling and fruitful phase. Let's follow his example!

Contributed by Rev Emmanuel O. Adejugbe on Jan 29, 2026

After fifteen years of waiting, the moment finally arrives—but it doesn't look like a Hollywood coronation. David is crowned in Hebron, a partial fulfillment that tests his stewardship of the small before he receives the great.

The Eternal City: A Real Place? What Will It Be Like?

Contributed by Justin Steckbauer on Mar 23, 2021

Is there really life after death? Or is this life all there is? It's a question that we ignore, we toss aside, and eventually ponder. It's a question that draws out fear and emotional outrage. It's a question that affects how we live and what we live for.

Lord, I Need You! Series

Contributed by Kevin Broyhill on Oct 17, 2024

During a time of crisis and despair, David pours out his heart to God, recognizing that there are two places to dwell in life's trials: on the rock of God's security or in the pit of defeat. He is teaching us that our struggles can be transformed into songs of praise when we trust in Him.

Lord, I Need You! Psalm 28 Introduction: David is experiencing a time of great extremity – nighttime hours of the soul – one of David’s songs in the night. Interesting: many of the hymns we sing were born out great struggle. Such is the Psalm before us. Story Behind the Psalm: Not told the ...read more
