God is Spirit One of the things that I hope to accomplish with this sermon series is that we get a bigger and grander view of who God is. Theologian A.W. Tozer wrote, “The weightiest word in any language is its word for God.” He also wrote “What we think when we think about God is the most important…

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…

Introduction: Have you ever wondered what the wind looks like? It is a relatively common question. We know wind is there. We feel it. We can study it. But we can never actually see it. How much more amazing would it be to see God! We know He is there. Creation screams His majesty. We see His handiwork…

Why is this such an important day? It redefines life. Who Christ Is 15 He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of all creation. 16 For by him all things were created, in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or rulers or authorities—all things were created…

The Godhead is one of the most difficult, yet simplest subjects in the Bible to understand. Some of the greatest minds in our world have stumbled while others with less scholastic ability have understood it clearly. Why? Because God has hidden these things from the wise and prudent and revealed it unto…

Summary Colossians 1:13-20 contains some of the most important Christological content in the New Testament. It is also home to some of the most misunderstood. For example, does referring to Jesus as “firstborn” suggest that he was created? Does it point to chronology—that Jesus was the first created…

I had the privilege of meeting with some young men this week and it reaffirmed my belief in meaningful relationships. As each one shared their desire to pursue Christ and the obstacles in life hindering them from all-out pursuit, I was able to share with them the treasure of Christ and His compassion…

Last week we began a short series on, “The Gift of Jesus.” My goal was for us to understand what Matthew chapter 1 verse 23 helps us to see that Jesus is Immanuel, which means that God is with us. There are many ways that we come to understand just how Christ is with us even today. Jesus is the Son of…

Genesis 1:1–31 (ESV) 1 In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth. 2 The earth was without form and void, and darkness was over the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God was hovering over the face of the waters. 3 And God said, “Let there be light,” and there was light. 4 And God saw that…

Last week, we talked about the wilderness experience — those times in our lives when it seems like we are not hearing from God — like He has left us alone… In those times, we discovered that we must learn to give our lives completely to God — to let go… give up control… and trust God with our worries……

What do you believe about God? What God do you serve?

Our worldview is how we make sense of life. We all have a foundation which will shed light and help us see the world around us. There are many different worldviews but they all do about the “same thing”. God/Jesus has always existed. I believe Scripture makes this abundantly clear. Genesis 1 reminds…

What attributes of God are more shared with us? (How is God like us in His being and in mental and moral attributes?) How finely do we want to divide God’s attributes? For example, are God’s goodness and love two attributes or one? But does it really matter how we treat these attributes if we think of…

What’s in a name? We seldom are concerned about the literal meaning of our name, for instance David—beloved one, Elizabeth—God swears/promises, Kelly—warrior, Gregory—watchful, etc. Some names, however, are worth millions of dollars: Larry Bird, Tom Brady, Brett Farve. Some names announce a person’s…

Intro: One of the things we need to understand about the past generation of Jewish people during the time of Christ and even after his life was that Angels were a big deal. Angels assisted in giving the law to Moses and there where angels who would speak to Godly saints. So, I want us to keep all of…

We’re continuing on in our series of Seeking Truth in a World of Counterfeits. So far our series has included questions such as: What is Truth? Is there a God? Can God be Known?
