When we really contemplate God and His attributes, we have to "stand amazed". I'm amazed at God's power - He spoke the world into existence after all! Are you amazed at His capacity to extend grace and mercy? And what about His patience? I stand amazed!
The Scriptures teach us a lot about the presence and glory of God. In this message we explore what the presence and the glory of God are and what we can expect when we encounter God's presence and glory.

Sermon 11 of 26 in a series of Old Testament Vistas. This sermon on Deuteronomy was presented January 9, 2011, at Palm Desert Church of Christ, by Dale Wells
Sermon 1 in a series on the Old Testament. This sermon is on Genesis 1 and was presented at the Palm Desert Church of Christ on October 3, 2010, by Dale Wells.
Matthew: The King and His Kingdom_The Beatitudes_Mt. 5:1-12Stephen Palm
In Matthew chapters 5 – 7 we will explore the inexhaustible riches of Jesus teaching ministry. Much of what our Lord shares in this discourse has provided the moral framework of Western civilization for 2,000 years. Famed Theologian Francis Schaefer once wrote a book titled, ‘how should we then live?’ The sermon on the mount answers that single yet pivotal question. While this monumental teaching is directed at those who will be alive during the Kingdom Age (Rev. 20:1-10). The virtues Jesus describes in these 12 verses should be the characteristic of every Christ follower in this present age. In the first six verses we will explore what it means to have a right relationship with God, and in verses 7- 12 we will see what it looks like to have a right relationship with people (Source: The Moody Bible Commentary). Jesus leaves us with promise. The reward for our righteousness often does not come in this world, but as live out the gospel, let us remember we are storing up our reward in heaven (v. 12) that will be enjoyed in the presence of the lamb for all eternity.

A correct understanding of the power of God's Word in Creation leads to appreciating His Word's power in Redemption.
He simply spake, and it was done; He commanded, and it stood fast. Psalm 33:9.
The breath of God's mouth is a breath of life.
Moreover, His Spirit has the same creative power as His Word.
Therefore, His Word, which is life: The words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life, John 6:63, is God-breathed - All scripture is given by inspiration of God. 2 Timothy 3:16.
Moreover, the same Word that created is the power which now preserves.

This is a message of comfort. God has BIG plans for all Christians when they get to heaven. He will glorify us in ways we cannot imagine. Look at the biblical proof that God has always planned to do this for all His adopted children who come to Him through faith in Jesus!

Pastor Seth begins His series on some of the moral questions people ask about God. Is God a Moral Monster? Is he insecure, in asking us to praise Him, or is there something deeper that God is trying to teach us about Himself and about us?

How can we be moved by God’s grace in our hearts? The first thing we need to know is to know God, that is, to obey God’s will, and to obtain God’s wisdom. Afterwards, God will give you all kinds of wisdom, and then we will be able to enter the body of Jesus Christ, and to know that all His richness is more than the elementary school in our world and human inheritance, it is even more transcendent. Then we continued to praise God's grace, read all kinds of hymns, and we also got the result of teaching and learning through coaching each other.
It was prophesied that Jesus would be called Emmanuel which means God with us. In this lesson we discuss three ways how God is with us. Both slides and audio can be viewed together at www.cmcoc.org Sermon by: Brian Birdow

Bob Goff said, "We will never honor Christ if we forget how to honor one another!" We should certainly understand our need to honor and reverence God but the New Testament shows an honor and reverence between brothers and sisters in Christ. It was the Golden Rule on steroids! "Do unto others as you would have them do to you" was the foundation of all their relationships with one another. How do we get that back into the church today?
What is the real message of this little one chapter book? it is the story of forgiveness - Philemon had to forgive Philemon to receive him back. it is a story of reconciliation - restoring a relationship that had been lost. And it is a story of a changed relationship - from slave to brother; from master to brother!
Why is giving so important in our walk with God? Giving: makes me more like God; draws me closer to God, strengthens my faith; is an investment for eternity; and reveals my spiritual maturity.
The "little" book of Philemon is "huge" in teaching! When Paul wrote to Philemon he had an important message to send but he needed a way to reach a man like Philemon. In this message we dissect Paul's way of reaching Philemon with the truth of forgiveness, reconciliation and changed relationships.
Have you heard the fairy tale of the "Little Red Hen?" In this tale, the hen seeks help to being food to the barnyard but none of her friends will help. She goes out alone and finds the wheat, plants it, tends to it, cuts it, has it milled and bakes the cake. After the cake is made, everyone wants a piece but she says no! Is this how God treats us?
Giving is how we show gratitude for all that God has given to us. Giving is probably the greatest shortfall in the average Christian's life, especially here in the United States. The principles of giving are simple to understand, difficult to carry out because of our lack of faith and our greed. We are to give as we have prospered, as we have purposed and cheerfully.
152 years after Babylon conquered Jerusalem, Nehemiah returned to Jerusalem to repair its walls and gates. He encountered constant harassment and opposition but he and his people finished the job in 52 days! He had a vision to do good, he enlisted help from everyone and all the people "had a mind to work!"
Philippians 4:1-9 is some of the most beautiful of Paul's writings. Paul begins with an exhortation to put aside our petty differences and work together in the Kingdom of God. He encourages them to not be anxious but have a peace of mind that surpasses human understanding. His prayer is that all of the church would meditate on things honorable, just, pure, lovely, commendable, excellent and worthy of praise!
Among all the kings of Judah and Israel, there were very few who "did what was right." Hezekiah was one of the good kings! Even though his father was evil, Hezekiah ushered in a period of spiritual renewal. Every renewal or awakening begins with one person and it is without regard to their ancestry. Every renewal begins with a return to God's word and has an effect on generations to come. Are you the one to begin our next "spiritual awakening?"
When the teacher called on you, were you ready? When we are called upon in the Kingdom of God, we should be ready. We should always be ready to meet God on His terms; We should always be ready to give an answer for the hope that lies within us; and we should always be ready for the Lord's return.
How do we define prosperity? It depends on whether we are defining according to God's word or the world's ideas. There is a worldly prosperity and there is a spiritual prosperity. What produces spiritual prosperity? Meditating on and obeying God's word; faith in God and His word; being content with Godliness and what He has given us. What is the value of spiritual prosperity? It abides and produces true success.
When we become Christ followers the old man is destroyed and the new man begins to emerge. In Ephesians 4:22-32 Paul describes this new nature: no lying, no sinful anger, no stealing, no corrupt words, no grieving the Holy Spirit, no bitterness and wrath but rather a kindness toward one another. Is the New Man showing in you?
There is only one way to heaven, Jesus Christ!! However, while there is only one way to God, we all experience different kinds of roads along the way. Some travel the road of persecution; others the road of loss; some the road of poverty and others the road of suffering. Don't compare your road to someone else's - God puts us on the road we NEED to travel. Regardless of which road God has decided for you to travel, keep your eyes on Jesus!
Jesus' letters to the seven churches in Asia are a roadmap for struggles in the 21st Century church. To the church in Ephesus He had one thing against them: They had left their "first love." What does this mean? Why is love so important? What might have happened to their "first love?" and what is Jesus' exhortation to that church?
Mourning is an indescribable ache to the heart. Mourning is a great time to learn God's compassion because He hurts when we hurt; God's faithfulness because He will never leave us; God's comfort because He yearns to comfort us.
What is stopping you from giving yourself entirely to God? For some it is the pursuit of wealth. For others, it may be the pursuit of pleasure. Still others may be fearful of what others will think and say while others just want to be in control of their own lives. Whatever stands in your way of giving yourself completely to God, remove it!
With any structure being built, the foundation is of utmost importance. What is the foundation for your life? What is the foundation for your faith? These really are important questions! The foundations humans lay include their own goodness and good works. These people feel like they can be saved by "doing enough good" in the world. Others recognize their goodness can't save them but view Christ as only supplying what little they lack to get into heaven. God laid a foundation of Jesus - ONLY JESUS! None of your righteousness, none of your good works - ONLY JESUS.
2nd in a 2-part series. Surrendering ourselves to God, giving up control and letting God do what God does. In part 2 we are encouraged to T.R.U.S.T. (totaling relying upon something true) God and to realize that God has set us free in Christ Jesus.
Paul to told Timothy to "Study to show yourself approved by God, a workman doesn't need to be ashamed handling the word of God correctly." Aren't we all supposed to be workers in the Kingdom, workers of God? What are the characteristics of God's workmen? They don't spend time arguing, they seek God's approval and they avoid error.
Life in 2018 is chaotic and stressful, especially for teenagers. How do we cope? Anxiety is real, anxiety and panic attacks are real and can be debilitating. How do we overcome? First we have to realize we are not in control! But God is! When we become anxious and fearful: stop. breathe. Jesus! Love is > fear!

Homily: The Solemnity of the Most Holy Trinity Sunday 2024.docxJames Knipper
Countless volumes have been written trying to explain the mystery of three persons in one true God, leaving us to resort to metaphors such as the three-leaf clover to try to comprehend the Divinity. Many of us grew up with the quintessential pyramidal Trinity structure of God at the top and Son and Spirit in opposite corners. But what if we looked at this ‘mystery’ from a different perspective? What if we shifted our language of God as a being towards the concept of God as love? What if we focused more on the relationship within the Trinity versus the persons of the Trinity? What if stopped looking at God as a noun…and instead considered God as a verb? Check it out…

In Jude 17-23 Jude shifts from piling up examples of false teachers from the Old Testament to a series of practical exhortations that flow from apostolic instruction. He preserves for us what may well have been part of the apostolic catechism for the first generation of Christ-followers. In these instructions Jude exhorts the believer to deal with 3 different groups of people: scoffers who are "devoid of the Spirit", believers who have come under the influence of scoffers and believers who are so entrenched in false teaching that they need rescue and pose some real spiritual risk for the rescuer. In all of this Jude emphasizes Jesus' call to rescue straying sheep, leaving the 99 safely behind and pursuing the 1.

Renewed in Grace
The Book of Joshua is the sixth book in the Hebrew Bible and the Old Testament, and is the first book of the Deuteronomistic history, the story of Israel from the conquest of Canaan to the Babylonian exile.
5. Genesis16 Then God said, “Let there be
a firmament in the midst of
the waters, and let it divide
the waters from the waters.”
7 Thus God made the
firmament, and divided the
waters which were under the
firmament from the waters
which were above the
firmament; and it was so.
6. Genesis1
9 Then God said, “Let
the waters under the
heavens be gathered
together into one place,
and let the dry land
appear”; and it was so.
7. Genesis1
11 Then God said, “Let the
earth bring forth grass, the
herb that yields seed, and
the fruit tree that yields
fruit according to its kind,
whose seed is in itself, on
the earth”; and it was so.
8. Genesis114 Then God said, “Let there
be lights in the firmament of
the heavens to divide the day
from the night; and let them
be for signs and seasons, and
for days and years; 15 and let
them be for lights in the
firmament of the heavens to
give light on the earth”; and it
was so.
9. Genesis1
20 Then God said, “Let
the waters abound with
an abundance of living
creatures, and let birds
fly above the earth
across the face of the
firmament of the
heavens.”
10. Genesis1
24 Then God said, “Let
the earth bring forth the
living creature according
to its kind: cattle and
creeping thing and beast
of the earth, each
according to its kind”;
and it was so.
11. Genesis1
26 Then God said, “Let
Us make man in Our
image, according to
Our likeness;
13. Hebrews11:3
By faith we understand
that the worlds were
framed by the word of
God, so that the things
which are seen were
not made of things
which are visible.
16. Romans
3:23,24
23 …for all have sinned
and fall short of the
glory of God, 24 being
justified freely by His
grace through the
redemption that is in
Christ Jesus …
17. Ephesians
2:4,5
4 But God, who is rich in
mercy, because of His
great love with which He
loved us, 5 even when we
were dead in trespasses,
made us alive together
with Christ (by grace you
have been saved) …
18. Ephesians
2:8,9
8 For by grace you have
been saved through
faith, and that not of
yourselves; it is the gift
of God, 9 not of works,
lest anyone should
boast.
22. 2Peter3:9
The Lord is not slack
concerning His promise,
as some count slackness,
but is longsuffering
toward us, not willing
that any should perish
but that all should come
to repentance.
26. Acts17:30,31
31 because He has
appointed a day on which
He will judge the world in
righteousness by the
Man whom He has
ordained. He has given
assurance of this to all by
raising Him from the
dead.”
