We worship the God who condescended to us in His word and gave us prayer to commune with Him through His word. Paul tells the church in Ephesus not only that he prays, but he also makes mention of them in his prayers.

God glories in the work of the Spirit in…

Charles Spurgeon said, “What an honor to have been among the first to hope in Christ.” Quoting Paul, in Ephesians 1, Spurgeon reminds us of this great honor and blessing granted us by the Father, in the Son, through the Spirit. We come today in thanksgiving and praise remembering this honor. The honor reminds us of…

We worship the true God who works all things unto His glory. Every form of matter, creature, happening and occurrence on the earth exists for the glory of God, including sin.

The summation of all things are purposed and consummated in the person and work of the Lord Jesus by the kind intention of the…

We worship, to the glory of the Father, our Redeemer the Lord Jesus Christ. God our Rock and Fortress sent His beloved Son Jesus as the Rock of Ages.
