Adam Where Are You PRO Sermon

Contributed by Sermon Research Assistant on Sep 25, 2023

The main point of this sermon is to emphasize God's Fatherly Love, the importance of obedience, and the consequences of disobedience as seen in the story of Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden.

Even in our moments of disobedience and failure, God is still calling out to us, desiring to bring us back into relationship with Him. We were designed to walk with Him.

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Dec 21, 2021

This parable is special, because it tells us a great deal about God the Father’s great love for mankind.

"Love’s In Need Of Love”

Contributed by Kenneth R. Jenkins on Mar 8, 2022

Strangely enough, this four-letter word carries a lot of weight in every situation through many generations. What love may mean to you may not mean the same as I see it but everybody wants to know what love is.

God Is Light, God Is Love, & God Is Life Series

Contributed by Melvin Amos on Aug 20, 2011

In this series I am going to attempt to teach who God really is. Christians, and those in the world get this view of who they think God is, yet it does not quite show the whole image of who God is.

We say, "well if God is so loving, why is there so much cruelty in the world?" Let’s not make ...read more

Conway Twitty. "That's My Job". The chorus says, "Everything I do is because of you." Isn't that what God does for us. God is to be seen as the perfect heavenly Father who may even have to say "no' sometimes.

Forgive Them Father, They Do Not Know What They Are Doing.

Contributed by Jimmy Raftopoulos on Jun 3, 2010
