Psalm 145 describes some of the attributes or character qualities of our awesome God. So far we have learned that God is Admirable and Praiseworthy. He deserves to be lifted up and to be praised every single day. Transition This evening, we are going to examine two more of God’s attributes: He is Great and […]
“The Bible, God’s Word, tells us what God is like and what He is not like. Without the authority of the Bible, any attempt to explain God’s attributes would be no better than an opinion, which by itself is often incorrect, especially in understanding God (Job 42:7). … Only what God has chosen to reveal […]
The Bible story about Samson is an interesting story with a sad ending. Samson was God’s judge for Israel, yet he had gotten terribly backslidden and away from God. He befriended God’s enemies (Philistines), neglected God’s work (judging), disobeyed God’s commands (polluted his Nazarite vow) and ignored God’s warnings (fell in love with a heathen […]

Someone once said, “When Christians are on fire, believers are warmed and sinners are attracted to the light.” That is revival! In Nehemiah 8, we will read about a revival that took place in Jerusalem. Transition […]
Someone once said, “The brook would lose its song if you removed the rocks.” The “rocks” in the stream of life often seem to be a burden but if God removed all of them we would no longer need to trust Him and lean on Him for strength. They are really a blessing in disguise. […]
The rebuilding of the Jerusalem wall was a physical project, but it was also a spiritual project. It was a project that required God’s help. The wall had lain in the rubble for decades because no one had the spiritual insight and fortitude to rebuild it. In your spiritual life there may be walls that […]
