We worship our God who is almighty in His being. Due to His all-powerfulness in being, God is almighty in His purposes and protection of His people. Therefore, Paul instructs the church in Ephesus to “be strong in the Lord and in the strength of his might.” (Eph. 6:10) The command directly goes against the individualism of our day. The Christian never relies or puts trust in…

We worship our God who calls people to salvation from every background of life. No matter whether you are poor or rich, God saves sinners, and all mankind is fallen in sin. Socio-economics never calculated any measurement for God’s grace. He saves whom He desires, when He desires and they were bought with a crimson price. So, the church needs to function in accordance with this truth….

We worship our God in the first person of the Trinity as the heavenly Father. The term Father is important to us as humans and Christians. God as our Father indicates the sovereign authority and supreme power that God has over all things. God as our Father elucidates the necessity of provision and wisdom. God as our Father specifies the importance of accountability and caring guidance. The…

We worship our God who created and instituted the ordinance of marriage. God set the purposes, and parameters of marriage. The marital relationship exists between one man and one woman without exception. God knew the struggle of Adam as there was no suitable companion for him after creation. Therefore, God made woman from a part of Adam’s body and as a helpmate and companion. God never placed…

We worship our God who committed His Son to die for sinners. Yet, we must not forget that the Son, Jesus Christ, submitted to the will of the Father. Jesus walked perfectly without sin and was whipped, beaten, and crucified as the only sacrifice capable of saving sinners from the wrath of God. Also, His death was the only perfect way for God to accomplish the redemption…
Call To Worship – March 20 2016
We worship our God who does all things in perfection. Troubles, trials and terrors seem to be around every corner. Sin permeates the recesses, and sometimes the forefront of our minds. Yet, the Triune God does all things in purity. When troubles assail us and sorrow, need or death are ours, what should we do? Paul told the Ephesians to walk with a truthful, tuneful, thankful and…

“Those whom God effectually calls, he also freely justifies, not by infusing righteousness into them, but by pardoning their sins, and by accounting and accepting their persons as righteous; not for anything wrought in them, or done by them, but for Christ’s sake alone; not by imputing faith itself, the act of believing, or any other evangelical obedience to them, as their righteousness; but by imputing Christ’s…

We worship our God who made us new people, enabled to walk with a new spirit. Paul charged believers to walk worthy of the manner with which they have been called. He continued to unfold his thinking concerning a Christian’s walk, including the importance of wisdom according to the plain precepts of God and walking with the right spirit. Paul commands believers to live with a spirit…

We worship our God to please Him alone. If we say our God is great and worthy of our praise, then we must worship Him according to His commands. If we do otherwise we propagate questions as to the holiness of His authority. Would a holy God give unnecessary or sinful statutes? No. So, how He orders us to worship is good and right. If we say…

We worship our one God who promised His Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit not only regenerates dead sinners, but He sanctifies all those whom He made new in Christ. His sanctifying work is never separate from the word of God. The confession aids our understanding of the Bible’s teaching concerning sanctification. “They who are united to Christ, effectually called, and regenerated, having a new heart and a…
