The Excellency of His Name Discovering God’s Greatness in Creation Everyone has a specific way of looking at life, we call it a worldview. Our worldviews help us answer the ultimate questions of life: Who am I? Why am I here? Is there a God? What’s it all about? What will happen to me when I die? Is…

This Week’s Theme: Purposed Abandoned Word for the Week is Repent: It is a turning from one’s sinful ways, works, and will towards God’s ways, works, and will. It encompasses three aspects. First, a change of thinking that our way is wrong and God’s way is right. Second, a change in emotions to feel…

Spiritual Beings Last week we finished up our study on spiritual beings where we have been doing a deep dive in the bible to study the elohim. We studied God, who is the Elohim of elohim.

Today we are wrapping up this six part study of the Good News called, “Life in 6 Words.” We get these six words by using the word “Gospel” as an acrostic. As a way of review, let’s walk through these six words one final time… G - God created us to be with Him. ( Genesis 1-2 ) O - Our sins separate us…

What is your goal for living the Christian life? What is your DEEP motivation? What is your why? One pastor friend of mine says it this way, “What is your eternal why?” Having the correct Biblical goal is essential to actually growing in Christlikeness. If your motivation is fuzzy, your Christian life…

The Elohim Today we are going to dive into the Bible Project study we introduced a couple of weeks ago. We are going to take an in depth look at spiritual beings in the bible.

Isaiah 40:27-41:16 Review We continue with the new cycle of Halftarah readings The Halfarah are supplementary scriptures that go alone with the Torah Portions The third reading from the book of Genesis is named Lech Lecha.

We are continuing our series on Developing a biblical Worldview. A well known atheist, Bertrand Russell once stated, Unless you assume there is a God the question of life’s purpose is meaningless. That’s about as true of a statement as has ever been said. Without God there is no purpose to life. If there…

The Sanctity Of Life Continuing our series You voted for And so as we do so often when looking at issues of life, and worth, and human dignity, and purpose, and sanctity we start at the beginning. What did the writers believe about our created worth and value? What were they inspired by the Spirit of…

In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth. Which God? The Triune God: The Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. There is only one God. Deuteronomy 6:4 states, “Hear, O Israel. The LORD our God, the LORD is one.” There is no oneness like the oneness of God. He is perfect in his unity. And…

Lower Than the Elohim Last week we ended with a life-changing thought: we are the children of God, destined to displace the defeated, disloyal sons of God who now rule the nations. Believing followers of Jesus Christ are the fulfillment of God’s plan to have humanity join the divine family-council and…

Aikamme on eksynyt kauas mailman luomisesta ja Jeesuksen tekemistä ihmeteoista. Uskomme kohdet tulee olla Jeesus ja Hänen tekemänsä sovitustyö meidän elämässä. Emme voi nojata meidän subjektiivisiin kokemuksiin jotka elää omaa elämäänsä ja kokemuksemme meidän uskontilasta voi olla todella värittynyttä…

Peril and Providence We went through a few questions rather quickly last time as we were ending the study. There was a comment about God’s decisions involving risks at times. How is that appropriate? If God knew (knows) what was going to happen - and if he predestines the events - where’s the risk? Perhaps…

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…

To the choirmaster: according to The Gittith. A Psalm of David. 1 O Lord , our Lord, how majestic is your name in all the earth!

Today I want to start a new study in the book of Romans. I pray that in my time as a pastor I am able to revisit this book, because I believe throughout my life my understanding of it will grow.

Intro: Good Morning, I again want to remind us that today there are so many different messages the world wants you to hear. We know that God is not the author of confusion.
