The Love of God

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ff2oMDICarg Anyone who does not love does not know God,because God is love. 1 John 4:8 ESV The words of the LORD must have hit with a thud in Abraham’s chest: “Take your son, your only son Isaac, whom you love, and go to the land of Moriah, and offer him there as a burnt …

Contending for the Faith | Jude 3-4

Beloved, although I was very eager to write to you about our common salvation, I found it necessary to write appealing to you to contend for the faith that was once for all delivered to the saints. For certain people have crept in unnoticed who long ago were designated for this condemnation, ungodly people, who …

The Grace of God

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yCZOpcoCeUM For by grace you have been saved through faith.And this is not your own doing;it is the gift of God,not a result of works,so that no one may boast. Ephesians 2:8-9 ESV Word came to Jesus that His friend, Lazarus, was ill, but Jesus did nothing. He did not immediately race to Lazarus’ side; …

The Being of God

https://youtu.be/JXeOVoclvjQ And without faith it is impossible to please him, for whoever would draw near to God must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who seek him. Hebrews 11:6 ESV Moses was a shepherd, but that wasn’t always the case. Although he was a Hebrew, who were the slaves of the Egyptians, …

The Study of God | Charles Spurgeon

Knowing God by J. I. Packer is one of my readings for teaching over the Attributes of God, and it is the kind of book that upon beginning makes you immediately wish that you had read it earlier. This quotation, however, is not from Packer; instead, it is a portion of a sermon from Charles …

The God Who Speaks: Introducing the Attributes of God

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pk9YQ3q2mjY At risk of discrediting myself from the very beginning of this study, I will offer a quick confession: The Hobbit is my least favorite of Tolkien’s Middle Earth writings. Don’t misunderstand me. I still enjoy that book a great deal; it just happens to be the one I like the least. Nevertheless, I mention …

Joseph Before Pharaoh | Genesis 41

SUGGESTED VERSES FOR MEMORIZATION & MEDITATION The king’s heart is a stream of water in the hand of the LORD; he turns it wherever he will.

When I Am God

I was quite a metalhead in highschool. I never dressed the part (just jeans, sneakers, and tshirts for me, thanks), but as far as I was concerned, clean vocals (aka singing) were only reserved for wimps or strategically emotional bridges. Yes, I was, indeed, hardcore. Really what drew me most to the screamo/hardcore scene were the …

Joseph Sold into Slavery | Genesis 37

SUGGESTED VERSES FOR MEMORIZATION & MEDITATION Then Midianite traders passed by. And they drew Joseph up and lifted him out of the pit, and sold him to the Ishmaelites for twenty shekels of silver. They took Joseph to Egypt. (Genesis 37:28 ESV). If you are insulted for the name of Christ, you are blessed, because the Spirit of glory …

Preach the Word!

I charge you in the presence of God and of Christ Jesus, who is to judge the living and the dead, and by his appearing and his kingdom: preach the word; be ready in season and out of season; reprove, rebuke, and exhort, with complete patience and teaching. For the time is coming when people …
