How do we know?

annac — Mon, 01 Mar 2010 19:10:04 +0000

The first two questions we discussed talk about God being the first and best of beings and how our greatest purpose is to glorify God and enjoy Him forever. But how do we know there is a God? In the book of Romans Paul tells us that our conscience and God’s creation plainly declare that there is a God. Romans 1:19-20, Romans 2:14-16, Psalm 14:1

Greatest Purpose

annac — Mon, 15 Feb 2010 21:47:03 +0000

What is the greatest purpose of man?
Man’s greatest purpose is to glorify God and enjoy Him forever. But what does it mean to glorify God? If God is the first and best of beings (and He is) then He doesn’t need us to make him glorious. To glorify God means we reflect God as being glorious. As followers of Jesus we are called to glorify God in everything we do. How can the things you do every day, like eating and drinking, be done to the glory of God? 1 Corinthians 10:31, Psalm 86:12, 1 Peter 2:12

Sunday Mornings

annac — Tue, 09 Feb 2010 19:14:56 +0000

We have returned to our study of the foundational truths of the Bible. As you’re living life this week think about what it means for God to be the first and best of beings. Isaiah 44:6, 1 Samuel 2:2, Psalm 8:1, 96:4, 97:9

NEW!!! Biblical Beliefs Quiz

jasonm — Tue, 15 Sep 2009 14:37:01 +0000

We have a new 17 question Bibilcal quiz that will help you to know if you are on track. It is not designed to tell you if you are truly saved or if you are a “good” or “bad” Christian, but only to help you test yourself in your knowledge of what the Bible teaches about God, Sin, Salvation, and more.

Move your cursor over the “About” button and then over the “Beliefs” button when it pops up, then click on “Biblical Beliefs Quiz” and enjoy!

NEW!!! Gospel Quotes!

jasonm — Tue, 15 Sep 2009 12:30:50 +0000

We have just added another new feature to our website! Since the Gospel is the most important thing in all of life (See I Corinthians 15:1-7), we do well to be reminded of it every single day.

Not only that, but since the Good News is the only power of God unto salvation for all who believe (Romans 1:16-17) and since it is only by hearing the Word of Christ that faith comes to people (Romans 10:12-17), therefore we should be sharing it others as often as we can.

Therefore, we now have a new RSS feed that contains a new quotation from a Christian author about the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Read, learn, and remember so as to believe, enjoy, and share with others for praise of the Savior!

A Prayer of Submissive Faith

jasonm — Wed, 26 Aug 2009 16:29:36 +0000

“Thou bottomless fountain of all good…,

Help me to see how good Thy will is in all,

and even when it crosses mine

teach me to be pleased with it.”

(Click here to read the rest of the prayer.)

Upcoming Sermons

jasonm — Thu, 13 Aug 2009 21:26:29 +0000

On the next two Sundays we will be hearing about Paul’s purposeful prayer of encouragement and challenge for the Philippian saints (Philippians 1:9-11).

If you would like to come meet with God in His Word with others who desire to hear from Him about prayer, then please join us at 10:15am!
