Sermons on Saint And Sinner:

Focus On The Almighty

Contributed by Paul Robinson on Sep 29, 2022

Psalm 139 is an incredible psalm, one of the best. Most of the psalm focuses on the omni characteristics of God. But these verses are not just the psalmist waxing eloquent, these verses are truths about God.

1. Focus on the Omniscience of God (v. 1-6) First, God knows you (v. 1). He knows everything about you, every detail of your life. He is not searching and knowing you presently, He has already searched and known everything about you. God knows your actions (“thou knowest my downsitting and mine ...read more

There Was No Room At The Inn For The King, But There Is Room At The Cross For You

Contributed by David Nolte on Dec 10, 2018

How strange that He who was rejected by those He came to save gladly accepts and welcomes those same sinners who desire to come to Him.

Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Mar 14, 2021

The context of these words is a feast, where ...read more
