God intends for you to have steadfast faith in this life! If you don't, it is not HIS fault.

Introduction: Have you ever had kids who kept asking why? When my two oldest were 4 and 5 years old they were always asking why. Why do we have to eat dinner? Why do we have to pick up our toys? Why do we have to go to town? It is like they were preprogrammed that once they could say the word why; it…

Forbidden Worship Our worship must not reverse God’s order Last week, we began Deut 4 , where Moses is continuing his speech to the younger generation of Israelites, the ones who were young at the beginning of the wandering in the desert, as well as some who were born during that time.

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?

Intro What is the Good New of Jesus? Most simply - Jesus died for my sins. Memorize those five words and you have the message of Jesus’ life. The Gospel is simple. Sometimes we overcomplicate it.

This evening we are going to do something a little different. It was not uncommon in Israelite worship to have the congregation respond to the truth of God’s Word in song. We just experienced that in Psalm 136 . Originally, this psalm was sung, not read in worship. Psalm 136 is deceptively simple, but…

Bless the Lord The God who Satisfies. God is an amazing and wonderful creator. He has made such an amazing and beautiful creation. How often do we take the time to revel in His artwork?

A Plan from Creation And God said, “Let the earth sprout vegetation, plants yielding seed, and fruit trees bearing fruit in which is their seed, each according to its kind, on the earth.” And it was so. The earth brought forth vegetation, plants yielding seed according to their own kinds, and trees bearing…
