    We are hardwired to come home to God. Here’s why

    Life has got enough trouble; we don’t have to go looking for it. Unfortunately most of us find enough on our own without looking real hard!

    Why would a loving God send people to hell? Today we will see the terror of facing God with our sins and then we will discover why the penalty, as horrifying as it is, is a fair and just penalty.

    Purpose: To describe the judgment of sinners. Aim: I want the listener to fear and reverence God’s holiness. INTRODUCTION: Why would a loving God send people to hell? Many people don’t want to believe that hell exists, or that it only exists for those who have committed really bad things (which ...read more

     | 15,279 views

    The Apostle Peter in this passage is reminding those believers to whom he is writing to be sure live there lives in fear and reverence of God; likewise we will also today learn that same lesson.

    Why Should I live My life in Fear and Reverence of God? 1 Peter 1:17-21 Introduction Too many Christians of our day seem to be totally unconcerned with the need to be “conformed to the image of Christ” as Romans 8: 29 speaks of. Rather, they seem to think that they can live pretty much as they ...read more

    In what ways does God use suffering in the life of a Christian? Maybe this lesson can help you think about how God may work when you are suffering.

    I would like to follow up on the last sermon that I preached on the problem of evil and where I attempted to show why the unbeliever should not be using the idea of evil as an excuse to reject God. In spite of what the unbeliever may think about God or try to accuse Him of, God has a morally ...read more

    Hearing God's Voice

     | 22,497 views

    How do we know if God is speaking to us? How can I recognize God's voice? Does God still speak? Does God speak to me? There are 3 main voices we hear our entire lives...God's, Satan's, and our own. How do we know which is which?

    Hearing God I will start with the example of Jeremiah the prophet. In the eyes of the world Jeremiah was a miserable failure. For 40 years he served as God's spokesperson to Judah; but when Jeremiah spoke...nobody listened. (pastors must feel that way at times) Jeremiah was poor and deprived. ...read more

    God becomes human on Christmas. Why? This is the one Christmas "thing" you won’t want to put away.

    John 1:1-14 GOD BECOMES HUMAN What if you were forced to give up something during Christmas – you couldn’t have it all.

    How does God go about doing His work in our world?

    God works in mysterious ways, His wonders to perform. No doubt the working of God in our world is mysterious. However, the Scripture gives us some revelation into the mystery of the way God works. Let’s note some things we discover about God’s working from the Bible: 1. God is at work. “But ...read more
