    God addresses the most basic questions we can ask. "Where are we from?" and "Why are we here?"

    The famous musical, The Sound of Music, includes this song which Maria teaches the Von Trapp children. "Let’s start at the very beginning, a very good place to start. When you read you begin with A-B-C, when you sing you begin with do-re-me." When we read the Bible, however, most people start ...read more

    The Beginning Of Wisdom Series

    Contributed by Gordon Pike on Oct 2, 2022
     | 2,893 views

    This is the opening sermon for a series based on The Book of Proverbs. I thought it would be a good idea to start a series based on the preeminent book of wisdom literature by discussing and defining what the book means by "wisdom" starting with the first chapter of The Book of Proverbs.

    [Hold up Bible.] I love this book. You’ve heard me refer to it as “The Owner’s Manual.” It contains stories, history, poetry, adventure, drama. It contains hymns. It contains theology, philosophy, and it contains wisdom. Every book in the Bible is there for a reason. Believe it or not, not ...read more

    Even after Peter's wonderful surprises when Jesus was raised from the dead, he was still struggling to get past his failure. In John 21, we see Jesus giving Peter the opportunity to be reinstated to his role of apostle and leader.

    A. I want to begin this morning with a poem by Louisa Fletcher: “I wish that there were some wonderful place Called the Land of Beginning Again. Where all our mistakes and all our heartaches And all of our poor selfish grief Could be dropped like a shabby old coat at the door And ...read more

    I want to begin a new series, not very long, but long enough. Several months ago, I noticed that I was reading quite frequently about churches closing the doors.

    In this passage, we see God’s providence working in at least 3 ways… 1. The TIMING of His birth 2. The PLACE of His birth and 3. The NATURE of His birth…

    A Humble Beginning Series: Beginnings of a Legacy December 20, 2009 As I was re-reading the story of Jesus’ birth, (for the billionth time)… I was amazed at how no matter how many times I read it, God always has something new to show me, that I’ve never seen before! This time as ...read more

    Just like he did at the outset of creation, God can take the formless voids of our lives, give them shape, and speak light into them.

    “Beginning with God” Genesis 1: 1 – 3 First Things First There is a saying, “First things first.” Well, the first thing is God. Our passage from Genesis begins this way.
