I. Meaning of Father God Why do we call God Father? Some within our wacky world claim that we should refer to God more in a parental kind of way rather than in a masculine fatherly kind of way. Of course I think many of you would understand that those that make this claim largely come from or are sympathetic…

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…

Introduction Today we celebrate Father’s day. I want to make an observation that I believe to be true. I believe that there’s a reason that our God is likened unto ‘Our Father’ throughout Scripture. This I believe is because that for a male, the Father is the most important role found in our society.…

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…

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 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…

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…

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.

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.…

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?

What it says: Matthew 10:24–25 ““A disciple is not above his teacher, nor a servant above his master. It is enough for the disciple to be like his teacher, and the servant like his master. If they have called the master of the house Beelzebul, how much more will they malign those of his household.” What…

Revelation 2:10 What kind of crowns are there? In the Hebrew, there are three words for a crown that is worn on the head. Each one is used with different significance. Hebrew “Nezer” is a crown to set apart the high priest and the kings of Israel. In the Septuagint, it is translated as “Diadem”. Let’s…

Come, let's worship him who sits on the throne. Jesus’ outline of Revelation: Revelation 1:19 . 19 Write therefore the things that you have seen, those that are and those that are to take place after this. What was seen: Jesus Glorified - Revelation 1:9-20 . What is: the Seven Churches - Revelation 2-3…

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…

Understanding the vine For us to get a better understanding of our passage we need to get a better understanding of the culture of the people who are hearing what Jesus is saying this to. He is speaking this to Hebrews in Israel who Vineyards mean something too. Vineyards are important to the economy…

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.

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.
