To the Glory of God Alone
by Stephen Whitney
Anthony Collins, who lived in the 1700's, was a Justice of the Peace an English writer who became a well-know deist. Deists believed in the existence of God but reject revealed religion based on the Scriptures, instead basing their belief on physical nature, human reason and personal experience. They rejected supernal events such as prophecy and miracles and instead believed that God does not interfere with human life and the laws of the universe he created. They believe God created the world and then has let it go like we would wind up an alarm clock and let it wind down on its own without interfering with it. Deism became...
Being in Christ to God's Glory (10 of 44)
by Patrick Edwards
Human beings are living in the midst of an identity crisis. We are very seriously struggling to understand who we are and what our place in this world is. Though we may suppress these feelings to varying degrees, we know that there is something just not right within us and thus our lives become a quest to fix that problem, to find our identity, to determine our purpose in life. This isn't a hypothetical situation this morning; but neither is this a new crisis but one that has plagued every generation of people to walk the earth. There is nothing new under the sun; what has been will be again, what has been done will be done again. The...
To God Be the Glory (7 of 7)
by Steve Jones
Introduction: A woman went to a pet store and purchased a parrot to keep her company. She took her new pet home but returned the next day to report, ''That parrot hasn't said a word yet.'' The storekeeper asked ''Does it have a mirror? Parrots like to be able to look at their reflection in a mirror.'' So she bought the mirror and returned home. The next day she was back, announcing that the bird still wasn't speaking. The storekeeper said ''What about a ladder? Parrots enjoy walking up and down a ladder.'' So she bought the ladder and returned home. Sure enough, the next day she was back with the same story - still no talk. ''Does the...
The Trivialization of God (35 of 42)
by Rick Ferguson
Opening . . . Can I tell you one of the things that most frightens me about the current status of Christianity in America today? . . . It is The Trivialization of God! I fear we have lost our sense of absolute awe and wonder toward God, and have refashioned the True and Living, Transcendent God of the Bible into a god of our own liking who engenders no more reverence or respect than a good golfing buddy . . .We have created a ''Bubba god.'' He's soft and cuddly . . . but he is pretty impotent, undemanding and inoffensive. We have made him into a ''user-friendly'' god for the ''seeker-sensitive'' church. Others are...
In the Hands of the Almighty
by David Cawston
Introduction: We must remember that the Good that comes to us comes from the hand of God! The evil comes from the hand of our enemy Satan of whom Jesus told us his agenda in John 10:10 10 The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full. (NIV) It is not the other way around! Let me repeat something that I said on Sunday! It is important to grasp this point that it is not God who is against us in life. It is never God who is attacking us or sending sickness or disease, or destruction upon us. God is our Father who loves us not our enemy. It is not God who steals, kills...
God: God Reigns Over (2 of 4)
by James Merritt
Foundations - how important are they? A building has to have a foundation or it cannot stand. Marriage is built on the foundation of trust. America is built on the foundation of the constitution. Friendship is built on the foundation of respect. A home is built on the foundation of love. Foundations are critical and crucial for stability - both physically, emotionally and spiritually. 2. We are in a series of messages we are calling ''foundations.'' I am dealing specifically with the foundation of Christianity and the church. It has four corners: the bible, God, Jesus and the holy spirit. Everything the evangelical church believes...
God's Favorite Present (3 of 5)
by Jeff Schreve
Are you excited about that day when the Lord comes back? That doesn't sound very excited. You need to be excited. The Lord is going to come back one day soon! And if you know Him He is going to come and take you to glory. Let's pray together. Lord we are excited about that Day and Father we want our hearts to be open today to hear from You. And Lord You speak in Your word about the word going out and sometimes it falls on hard soil, we don't that and sometimes it falls on rocky soil and we don't want that and sometimes Lord it falls on crowded soil and we don't want that. Lord we want to have good soil in our hearts so...
"God Is Good" and "The Glory of God" (30 of 47)
by Chris Walls
The ''they'' here refers to the Jewish people. Paul here asks another rhetorical question. The answer is NO, Israel has not stumbled and fallen so far that they can't come back to God. Even though they rejected God's gift of Jesus Christ they didn't fall to far. In fact God is still showing his love for Israel by trying to make them jealous. God offers salvation to non-Jews through Christ in order to bring Jews to jealousy of what God had done for the Gentiles. That is the reason Paul preached. As he said that, ''I may provoke to jealousy those who are my flesh.'' God cares so much for the Jewish people he would even try to make them jealous, so...
A Remnant According To Election (13 of 19)
by Daniel Rodgers
INTRODUCTION: Our last lesson last week was ''God's Simple Plan of Salvation,'' coming from Romans, chapter 10. Tonight's lesson has to do with Israel's election, the saving of a remnant...that God would spare the Jews. Not only would He spare the Jews, but in His grace and mercy, He would also save the Gentiles, grafting them into Israel, represented by the Olive Tree. God promised Abraham, ''In thee shall all the nations of the world would be blessed.'' Let me give you an outline... I. ABRAHAMS'S PEOPLE (VV. 1-6) A. He hath not Cast them Away (vv. 1-5a) 1. Paul uses the story of Elijah, when he was hiding in a cave from...
The Goodness And Severity Of God
by Jesse Hendley
Anyone who understands the Book of Romans will certainly understand the Bible. Anyone who does not will certainly go amiss on God's Plan. We learn the great truth of GOD'S RIGHTEOUSNESS. We learn that the person who puts his faith in Christ has his sin question settled, and that there is no condemnation, no judgment, nothing ahead but glory for the child of God, so far as the salvation of his soul is concerned. Now we come to the 11th chapter. It starts with a great question. ''I say then, can God cast off His people?'' And the answer is, ''God forbid.'' Does God cast off some people, arbitrarily saving this one and rejecting...
Trusting in God Alone
by Jerry Vines
Let's talk a little bit about how trouble relates to the Christian life. Bro. Dawson and I were visiting in the home of a young couple the other week. We were talking about the Christian life. I said to them that the Christian life begins with the supernatural birth. You invite the Lord Jesus into your heart and you are instantaneously born into the family of God. But a Christian life continues by growth. God's design, God's purpose for everyone who is saved is that they grow and develop and become the mature, full grown Christian that God intends. One of the ingredients God uses in the process of helping us to grow and...
Standing Alone for God (6 of 8)
by Roger Thomas
Introduction: Nobody likes to be the only one! No one wants to be different. Teenagers don't! Senior citizens don't! I am sure Noah didn't. Psychology books are filled with studies that demonstrate the power of peer pressure. One classic study involved a classroom of teenagers. On the board in the front of the class were three charts with a series of lines of varying lengths on each. The teacher instructed the students to each raise his or her hand when he pointed to the longest line on each chart. What one student didn't know was that the other nine had been instructed ahead of time to raise their hands for the next to the longest...
Standing for God All Alone (5 of 7)
by John Barnett
David was willing to stand for God--all alone. And there were few more lonely spots in the history of the universe than the hillside of the Valley of Elah in the 'no man's land' between the armies of Israel and the Philistines. Haven't we all sometimes wished we could have had a bird's eye view of the titanic confrontation of David and Goliath? That scene in biblical history stands as one of the greatest moments of God's Word. Let's go back to the crisp, cool air of a Middle Eastern morning three thousand years ago to see David. Two callused feet slipped quietly out from under the warmth of a wool fleece and deftly into...
The God of Glory (2 of 4)
by Jeff Schreve
I think we would all agree that modern technology is really an amazing thing, and it's really a wonderful thing and a great thing. So many of us, we kind of take for granted the things that we can do today that we couldn't do ten, twenty, thirty, forty years ago. Now one of the things, a little thing, a minor thing, has to do with a program that came out some time ago called Photoshop. Photoshop and its derivatives allow you to take a photograph and do all kinds of things to that photograph. So I want us to play a little game this morning. It's a game where we're going to look at some photographs of some famous people, but they've...
The Glory of God is in You
by Lenny Ports
When we talk about the attributes of God, we must consider His GLORY. The Glory of God. It is his magnificence and splendor. It is the presence of God experienced by His people. It is the supernatural tangible evidence of God's power and light being manifested. God's glory is His own but He allows us to participate in it! Let's look into the Old Testament to see how the Glory of God was revealed before Christ. With Moses on the Mountain (where Moses spoke to God): Exodus 24:15 Then Moses went up into the mountain, and a cloud covered the mountain. 16 Now the glory of the Lord rested on Mount Sinai, and the cloud...
Suffering for the Glory of God - Part 1 (18 of 34)
by Zach Terry
Introduction: If it were possible to ''sell'' people into the Kingdom of Heaven surely Jesus would have turned the disciples into Public relation gurus. Perhaps he would have developed a brand, registered Jesus.com, printed t-shirts and set out to develop a public approval rating that would have rivaled Wal-Mart or Coca-Cola. He would have carefully studied the public thoughts and sentiments about Him and would have systematically torn down every obstacle that kept people from signing on the quintessential bottom line. Suffering for example - Suffering is a major PR problem for God. Natural disasters, human deformities...
What the Cross Says About God's Glory (1 of 6)
by Jonathan McLeod
"As Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, so must the Son of Man be lifted up, that whoever believes in him may have eternal life" (John 3:14-15). THE GLORY OF GOD What is the glory of God? The glory of God has two meanings. 1. The glory of God can mean the manifestation of his PRESENCE. 2. The glory of God can mean the HONOR he deserves. In Exodus 33, Moses asked to see God's glory: "Please show me your glory" (Ex. 33:18). On Mount Sinai, "The LORD descended in the cloud and stood with him there, and proclaimed the name of the LORD. The LORD passed before him and proclaimed, 'The LORD...
God's Glory Over the Earth and Over the Nations (2 of 4)
by Jason Dees
10 Behold, the Lord God comes with might, and his arm rules for him; behold, his reward is with him, and his recompense before him. 11 He will tend his flock like a shepherd; he will gather the lambs in his arms; he will carry them in his bosom, and gently lead those that are with young. 12 Who has measured the waters in the hollow of his hand and marked off the heavens with a span, enclosed the dust of the earth in a measure and weighed the mountains in scales and the hills in a balance? 13 Who has measured the Spirit of the Lord, or what man shows him his counsel? 14 Whom did he consult, and who made him understand...
