Scripture: Selected Scriptures

Scripture: Lamentations 3:21-42

In Lamentations 3, we find theological and practical instruction on how to cope with God’s chastening. The message zeroes in on seven key words and concepts in this chapter, including three attributes of God— loyal love, compassion, and righteousness—and four attitudes sufferers should manifest—waiting upon God, submission toward God, confession of sin, and repentance.

Scripture: Selected Scriptures

While no one argues that God transcends gender, is it right to dismiss the many references to God as Father simply because it makes us uncomfortable or doesn’t fit out agenda?  In this sermon, we look at several passages that give us a glimpse of the One to whom we pray “Our Father.”

Paul Davies – PM Sermon

Scripture: Romans 12: 1-2

The Bible clearly instructs us to “Renew Our Mind”. It is a scriptural imperative. But where do we begin? How do we go about changing how and what we think about, especially as a new believer? God not only gives us the command to renew our minds but also provides the “way” and the “how” to do it. His Word provides the subject matter, the methodology, and the outcomes we can expect. We can no longer think in the ways non-believers think. We must learn the character and nature of God as expressed in His Son and the disciplines and practices of reading, studying and meditating in His Word in order to change our attitudes and actions.
