How Majestic Is Your Name Series

Contributed by Jeff Strite on Nov 4, 2012

Atheists like Carl Sagan believe that We live on an insignificant planet of a humdrum star, lost in a galaxy, tucked away in some forgotten corner of universe in which there are far more galaxies than people." But is that true?

OPEN: Psalm 8 is an intriguing Song of Praise to God. It begins and ends with the words that inspired a popular worship song. I’d like you to sing it with me: “O, Lord, our Lord how majestic is Your Name in all the earth O, Lord, our Lord how majestic is Your Name in all the earth O, Lord, we ...read more

Rest For Today And Forever

Contributed by Christopher Martin on Mar 15, 2008

I preached this at my grandmother’s funeral. She was 88 and althogh her health had been declining, her death was very sudden. Her last request of me was to officiate at her funeral, which I did and was the hardest thing I’ve ever done in my ministry.

While we knew that Grandma wasn’t in the best of health, and had some past health issues a little over 4 years ago, none of us thought that we’d be ...read more

The Love we share with one another in our marriage relationships is of God. It is God (not Hollywood) who defines, demonstrates, and instructs us on love, whether it is romantic love, or brotherly love.

You probably are acutely aware of all the pink and red decorating many of our stores in the month of February. I have been thinking a lot about what it represents, and what we can learn. It occurred to me that many of us preachers will preach timely messages on Thanksgiving, Mother's Day, ...read more
