American President Abraham Lincoln said, “I can see how it might be possible for a man to look down upon the earth and be an atheist, but I cannot conceive how he could look up into the heavens and say there is no God.” Psalm 19 is rich in theology.

Zeal for your house will consume me. Has church ever made you angry? I’m sure it has. Some rule you didn’t like. Some ham handed handling of a difficult situation. I’ve probably made you angry at some point. I do and say stupid and careless things sometimes. And sometimes I say wise and careful things…

Scripture Intro: Scripture Reading (“Please stand…”) The heavens declare the glory of God, and the sky above proclaims his handiwork.

Although we have already looked at this passage before us today once already, there is yet more that we ought to glean from it in order that we be fully equipped for every good work, that we must, to understand what the apostle is teaching, turn to it once again: So now, no longer am I the one working…

Introduction: We’ve been looking for several weeks now at how we can know the will of God for our lives. Over the last few weeks we’ve talked about what we mean by the will of God and we’ve also looked at some of the unbiblical ways that the pagans sought to know the will of their gods. Tonight, we are…

The Weeds Among the Wheat Last Sunday the readings reminded us that God's word works. It is supernatural; it is efficacious; it accomplishes what God desires and brings forth life and fruit. Today's readings are an interesting contrast. God's Word always works but sometimes not in the way you want it…

As a faith practice, listening involves training ourselves to recognize Gods voice (John 10:1-6) in the midst of all the other voices calling for our attention. It involves learning to be fully present in the moment, setting aside distractions that keep us from attending to and responding to Gods presence around us.

Good Morning. Turn with me to Psalm 19. I want to begin our time today by starting with a question. Why should we praise God?

God loves the whole…

Have you ever wondered why music is such an important part of worship services? Is it just because we like to sing? Or is there a more meaningful reason? And when we sing, are we just making a pretty sound? Or are we doing something bigger and more powerful?

Summary - Rev 12 On what day was Jesus actually born? What year? Does the timing matter? Christians celebrate the birth of Jesus on December 25, but virtually all Christians know that day isn’t the real birth date of the messiah. While that is certainly the case, has the birth date of Jesus been lost…

Introduction Good Morning and Welcome. Thank you for joining us online and for joining us today. This last year and a half has been interesting to say the least.

Intro One fundamental aspect of relationships is communication. When we communicate we draw near to another. The God of the Bible wants us to know Him in a relationship.
