    "Come Closer!" 1) A holy command that frightens 2) A gracious invitation that comforts

    Chris, could you come up here? Come closer please. Closer. Closer! Did you notice how hesitant Chris was to come close to me? The closer I asked him to come the more wary he became.

    God wants us to walk closer with Him so that we might better understand just how wonderful we are and how wonderful this thing called life is. It is only truly wonderful when we live our life in the light of God’s presence.

    A Closer Walk with God in 2015 Psalm 139 Have you ever spent much time contemplating Gods presence? There are a lot of people who do not believe that God exists and struggle to put up with people like us.

    This is the 37th sermon in a series from the Gospel of John. In this sermon we examine the crowds that shouted Hosanna during the Triumphal Entry, but then later demanded that Jesus be crucified, and we discuss what led to this, and how true faith differs from this.

    Solomon, being taught of David and being gifted with the gift of wisdom which God had given him, realized that wisdom and knowledge of the things of God should bring a person even closer to God; and therefore, keep him from failure and ruin.

Thus, Israelites saw their king as an agent of God, ruling on ...read more
