What Should the Church Be Doing?

8/17/2014

 
   Jesus told the apostles, "and on this rock I will build My church, and the gates of Hades shall not prevail against it" (Matt. 16:18).  He would establish His church, and nothing would prevent its being established.  The establishment of the church was of paramount importance in the Lord's mission to this earth.

Self Esteem

8/10/2014

 
   Last Sunday I began a short series of sermons on Self Esteem.  Self esteem has to do with a sense of self worth, and it's a part of the human psyche that affects every area of our lives, including our spiritual lives.  First, we'll look at the very concept of self esteem and consider why we ought to have a sense of self worth.  Then we'll establish what is the best source for good self esteem.  We'll conclude by examining some Bible examples of people who found the right source for self esteem and thereby changed their lives for the better.

God, the Creator!

8/3/2014

 
   Many people find themselves torn over how the universe came into existence.  The Bible does not, in the slightest, beat around the bush on the matter.  It states, "In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth" (Gen. 1:1).

God is Eternal!

7/27/2014

 
   Many so called gods have come and gone through the ages.  The Lord God Jehovah is completely unique - He is "the everlasting God!" (Rom. 16:26).  Without beginning and without end, eternal by nature.  He was not created, designed, fashioned, manufactured or imagined into existence.  It is not enough to say there is no god like Him - there is no God except Him!

A God of Power

7/20/2014

 
   Probably, one of the most prominent characteristics of God that immediately comes to the mind of most people is His power.  Nuclear weapons, laser beams, super heroes with super powers...  We're bombarded with images of power through literature and media.  But all of those images, and all of the potential power that can be conjured up by the imagination of man, does not begin to compare with God's power.  His power is infinite, limitless.  The scriptures refer to Him as omnipotent, all powerful! (Rev. 19:6).

A God of Forgiveness

7/13/2014

 
   We don't like to think of God being a God of judgment (Eccl. 12:13-14) and wrath (Rom. 1:18).  However, we need to keep in mind the reason for His exhibiting those particular characteristics - sin, unrighteousness, unfaithfulness, wickedness, evil - all of which are contrary to God's very nature and self-destructive to those who practice such.  God is totally righteous, and He created us in His own image.  He holds us accountable for living up to that image as best we can.  While God condemns sin and warns us to abstain from it (1 Thess. 5:22), He is also merciful and eager to forgive when we repent and seek His forgiveness (Dan. 8:8-9).

A God Of Judgment!

6/29/2014

 
   We're happy to think of God being good and holy and His being a God of love and mercy and grace and truth.  We like it that He is faithful and righteous, and if we don't think too much about the implications we feel pretty good about His being a God of commitment.  His being a just God makes us a little uneasy since being just means that He is a God of justice; we want mercy and grace, not justice.  If God being just gives us some twinges of discomfort, His being a God of judgment really sets off alarms.

Father's Day, What Will Happen...

6/15/2014

 
   To all fathers out there, Happy Father's Day!  I can't think of a more appropriate time to ask the following question: "What will happen to a nation whose children grow up without a conscience?"  One reason it's appropriate to ask this question now is due to the mounting evidence that such is happening in our nation, right now.

God is Righteous

6/1/2014

 
   God is totally, absolutely, fundamentally righteous!  Such a statement's a no-brainer, right?  Right!  But it's also a necessary statement, especially for the benefit of those  who have weak faith.  Knowing that God is righteous gives us confidence in all that He claims to be and in all of His teachings and in all of His assurances laid out for us in scripture.

   Tomorrow our nation will observe Memorial Day, a national holiday.  It is observed each year on the last Monday in the month of May.  The holiday, formerly known as Decoration Day, commemorates military personnel - men and women - who have died while in service to the United States of America.
