It can be a problem for many people today to describe God as Father. Some never knew their father, others were abandoned by theirs, and still others were abused. For these people the term ‘father’ carries a lot of negative feelings. The truth is that our earthly fathers are human just as we are and even…

Draw Near to God (Seeing things from His perspective) Psa.73 Intro: Seeing things from a different perspective can be a real eye opener. Take for instance Christian and Hopeful from John Bunyan's book Pilgrims Progress. When him and Hopeful were in the valley they could not see anything good but once…

This morning we continue our Series on the Lord’s Prayer The big idea behind this series is that: Sincere use, over time, of Jesus’ model prayer builds intimacy with God. The Lord’s Pray leads to intimacy with God by helping us to: · Embrace God as our Heavenly Father. · Align with and desiring God’s…

Parents are powerful. They shape our view of the world, ourselves, and also our view of God. Adults shape children’s life. Yet, we cannot, must not, nor forget how just a single adult pouring into a kid’s life can change the trajectory. God is the beginning and the End. We read about this in Scripture…

This morning I wanted to preach a sermon which does justice to both Father’s Day and the Second Commandment. The heart of the Second Commandment is found not simply avoiding the use of graven images in our worship, but worshipping God only in the way He has ordained in His Word. One of the ways that…

Introduction: It’s Fathers Day today which gives me the opportunity to talk about one of my favorite topics, God is our Father. God as Father is, on the surface, a straightforward topic. Everyone knows what a father is and the Bible says God is our Father enough places that we all accept it as true.…

Illus: Went by George for a year My guess is for your kids you thought a lot about the names you would give them, that there's some significance, weight, meaning, hope, prayer behind those names. You probably didn’t put your hand in a hat and just draw out, but even if you didn’t put a lot of thought…

It’s Father’s Day, and it is also Juneteenth. If you’re not familiar with the latter it is a federally recognized holiday commemorating the emancipation of enslaved Africa Americans.

The Dad You've Always Wanted (to be) Introduction Today is Father’s Day. The greatest need in our society today is for fathers who will rise up and assume their God-given role of responsibility in the family. Our text gives basic responsibilities for manhood; but when a man becomes a father, those responsibilities…

In our modern society, we can be quick to give up. Jesus calls us to be dependent on our Heavenly Father, and to keep asking, seeking, and knocking. Do you believe that God is good? Do you believe that good things come from God?

OUR MISSION (Part 3) It’s Father’s Day. And in our world today it feels like the word father for so many carries a negative sense. Perhaps it’s because according to the U.S. census bureau 19.5 million children in the US are living without a biological, step, or adoptive father in the home. That’s more…

1 “I tell you the truth, anyone who sneaks over the wall of a sheepfold, rather than going through the gate, must surely be a thief and a robber! 2 But the one who enters through the gate is the shepherd of the sheep. 3 The gatekeeper opens the gate for him, and the sheep recognize his voice and come…

In his letter to the Ephesians, Paul starts with a long, powerful sentence of praise for God. God, he says, has poured our spiritual blessings on us. But what is a spiritual blessing? And what spiritual blessings has God given to us? And how do these affect our daily lives? That's what we're looking at here.

The Results of God’s Love As we continue into the richness of the 1st letter of John the Apostle, we are going to find some interesting and challenging themes. Last week I spoke about our needs met in God’s Son, the first result of God’s Love that was most of chapter one. We will be in chapter 2 mostly…

Today we will be studying John 14:15-31 . This is a longer passage than we typically cover. However, in this passage, I found that Jesus is repeating two main concepts as he is seeking to comfort and encourage his disciples.

In the Beginning How big is your imagination? Have you exercised it regularly? Are your thoughts confined to day time TV, daily chores, office routines and the narratives of your favorite TV shows. Can you imagine something that isn’t presented with CGI or with audio visual aids? Can you Imagine the…

We are studying the Gospel of John and are currently in chapter 5. Please open your bibles, and we will read this together; today from the NASB. After these things there was a feast of the Jews, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem. Now there is in Jerusalem by the sheep gate a pool, which is called in Hebrew…

I rejoiced in the Lord greatly that now at length you have revived your concern for me. You were indeed concerned for me, but you had no opportunity. Not that I am speaking of being in need, for I have learned in whatever situation I am to be content. I know how to be brought low, and I know how to abound.…

What It Really Means to Be A Child of God Not all people are children of God. That may be a surprise for you to hear, but I want to talk about what the Bible says, not about what the culture says. It’s a feel-good quote when people bring up racial tensions that is just not what the Bible says. The Bible,…

Introduction I like to build things. Over the years of our marriage I have made a bed, some shelves, a climbing wall and a few other projects. In some of these projects I would talk to Jess about how I needed a new saw to make the project easier. Her response was often the same. Can’t you do it with…

Today we are studying John 5:18-23 .

While Jesus was in Jerusalem, on one Sabbath, also a day when the Jews were to rest from their normal…
