You should read your Bible each and every day if possible. I don't know why it is so difficult for so many people to simply read the Bible. But I do know that the scriptures are the Word of God and when we do spend time in the Bible we are reading the absolute truth and no other book can make that claim. Walk with me through this study as we search all 66 books to see what the Bible says about its...

The preacher connects this imager...

This week we come to the end of our short series through the book of Jude. Last week we saw Jude giving believers concise instructions on how to "contend for the faith" by keeping themselves in the love of God.

This sermon concludes an introductory series on Proverbs by defining wisdom as knowledge applied rightly and contrasting it with the three types of foolishness: the simple, the scoffer, and the stubborn. The central theological argument establishes that God alone is the source of all wisdom, as evidenced by passages in Romans, 1 Corinthians, and Colossians. The preacher emphasizes that the 'fear o...

The Lord God Amongst Us 1) Saving In His Might 2) Silent In His Love 3) Singing In His Joy

Jesus highlights the ministry and message of John to teach us an important lesson about how we minister and how we receive the Word of God. May God spare us from the sins of compromise with the world and cynicism toward the Word of God. May God help us to receive the Word with humility and joy, respond to it in repentance and faith, engage with one another with love and grace, and minister the gos...

Psalm 21 shows the king's salvation and his judgment as two halves of one strength, both fulfilled in Jesus. His resurrection crowned him with universal, eternal authority and joy, and that closed circuit of love between Father and Son now includes his people. But the same king who saves is the king who judges, and his wrath will be as searching and complete as his love is steadfast. The cross is...

It argues that belonging to God's kingdom is defined by participating in this divine rescue mission, rather than relying on personal merit or religious performance. The message addresses the human tendency to despise the 'little ones' or view sa...
