    based on 96 ratings
     | 24,767 views

    The Bible teaches that God can be known. That’s astonishing, isn’t it? The God of the Universe has chosen to reveal Himself to us. He longs for us to know Him more fully, more accurately and more personally.

    Our Knowable God I want to begin this morning by giving you a couple pop quizzes. This first one is pretty easy. 1. How long did the Hundred Year War last? 116 years. 2.

    A Big Crowd Meets a King I don’t know about you, but I like watching movie bloopers. There’s something funny about watching other people mess up. Many times these bloopers make it through the final cuts and show up on the screen. In a movie starring Jack Nicholson, he walks past an automatic ...read more

    When the fruit of self-control is not evident in our lives, we’re vulnerable to all kinds of relational ruptures. When the Spirit controls us, we will demonstrate restraint in our lives.

    Let us pray: Father, coming as humbly as we know how…I have heard your voice speaking to me and Lord I ask that you grant me utterance now to speak your word. Create in your children clean hearts that they may have planted in their soil…seeds this day…that will grow high and bear great fruits. I ...read more

    based on 85 ratings
     | 27,117 views

    God promises great rewards to those who seek Him, and it is a proper motive for obedience to consider these rewards.

Rather, it’s fundamental to our lives as Christians, from beginning to end. You could even say that continuing to ...read more

    God gives rise to men and nations, God prospers men and nations, God hears when men and nations pray, and, for those men and nations that don’t listen to Him, sooner or later, He causes those men and nations to fall.

    Face the Nation I. Introduction The Bible (Proverbs 25:2) tells us that it is the glory of God to conceal a matter, any matter, from man.
