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?

To the choirmaster. A Psalm of David. 1 The heavens declare the glory of God, and the sky above proclaims his handiwork. 2 Day to day pours out speech, and night to night reveals knowledge. 3 There is no speech, nor are there words, whose voice is not heard. 4 Their voice goes out through all the earth,…

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…

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.

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.

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…

Seeking Truth in a World of Counterfeits Two weeks ago now, during the fourth of July weekend we began a sermon series I’m calling: Seeking Truth in a World of Counterfeits.

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. He is not a God who is distant and waits for us to get our act together before He will draw near. He is a God who speaks - who draws…

Let us pray…Gracious and loving God, on this day that we celebrate Christ’s arrival in Jerusalem and immediately move to his passion, we ask that you help us to open our hearts, minds and spirits to your still speaking voice above the din of all other voices in our hearts, minds, and spirits so that…

Let us pray…God, may the words of my mouth, the meditations of all of our hearts, and the willingness of our spirits be pleasing unto you this day.

What happens to people after they die when they have never had the opportunity to hear the gospel, the good news about the Christ?

This morning, I want to begin a series in the book of Psalms by asking you a peculiar question: "Why are we so tired all the time?" I’m tired of this pandemic!
