Contributed on Mar 28, 2001
We come to know God by obeying Him.
I’d like to begin by telling you a little story about something that happened to me this week. I took the minivan in for an oil change at the Chrysler dealer.

This morning, our topic is "Seeking God Through Giving". As you know if you’ve been attending this church for very long, we don’t emphasize giving. We don’t take an offering, we don’t pass the plate.

We come to know God through the Scriptures

6. Resolving To Seek Christ
Contributed on Mar 29, 2001
Our one great resolution in the New Year should be to seek Christ.
I hope everyone had an enjoyable and blessed Christmas. I hope that, amidst all the travelling, and feasting, and gift-giving, and family reunioning, and football watching, you were able to remember that what we are really celebrating during this season is the birth of Jesus Christ. As you may ...read more
