Verses to Know God

-
For a sermon on Jonah 3, Can I Get A Witness?, we concluded that God desires the lost to be saved. As His child, He has called you to be a witness for Him. This can be intimidating and honestly scary if we look at evangelism incorrectly. Evangelism is simply what I call every day outreach. 

God has called us to engage in everyday outreach. Going to the places we go naturally. Interacting with the people we naturally interact with. Living each day with gospel-intentionality. Everyday outreach is fun because we know that God does the saving. He simply asks us to bring His Word - His gospel because it is the power unto salvation.

 Will you as His follower bring His Word to the lost? How? Two easy ways: First, invite them to church. Walking into a church you don't know is intimidating, but coming to a service with a friend is always easier.

 Second, give them God's Word by getting them into the Bible. Here is a document that you can easily share with people: "Check it Out" It provides 31 passages for 31 days of getting to know God and what a relationship with Him all about. All you need to do is hand it off and follow up with the person you give it to.

 Imagine what God will do when you bring His Word to a lost person and people just like Jonah did.

Can Christians Be MEGA SURE of God's Existence? Part 1

Why is there something rather than nothing? Have you ever considered this question? Why is there something rather than nothing? Why are we here? Why is the earth here? Why is the universe here? Why is there something rather than nothing. Every world view has to answer these questions. Not just the Christian. Not just the theist, but the pantheist, the polytheist, the agnostic, and the atheist. We all must try to determine why there is something rather than nothing. Once one gives an answer, they need to answer one more question: is my conclusion the most reasonable answer. Atheist philosopher Bertrand Russell who said that “The universe is just there, and that's all." In other words, it just exists. It always had. It’s a brute fact. Is this reasonable? As Christians we would say “God” is the answer. But is that the most reasonable answer. Some would say, it doesn’t matter. It’s a matter of faith. But I ask you, is such a blind faith badge of honor for us as Christians? The

First, let me apologize for my tardiness! I recently was on a missions trip for two weeks and starting my final undergrad class. But I am glad to be blogging again! Today, I want to keep it brief. It is the Easter season. This is the time we remember the triumphant work of Jesus Christ. Christ took on Himself the sin of humanity. The sinless lamb was slain. But that is not where it ends. After three days in the grave He rose and exited the tomb. That is what I want to address today.  How do we know Jesus' resurrection is legit? An important starting point is that scholars, both Christian and non-Christian agree that Jesus was buried in the tomb of Joseph of Arimathea. "When it was evening, there came a rich man from Arimathea, named Joseph, who himself had also become a disciple of Jesus. This man went to Pilate and asked for the body of Jesus. Then Pilate ordered it to be given to him . And Joseph took the body and wrapped it in a clean linen cloth, and laid it in

5 Reminders from Untimely Death

“Crazy if it’s true.” That’s what I saw on my phone after my son’s basketball game. “What’s crazy if true?” I thought. I knew I had missed something. There were over 10 missed texts. So, what was “true?” The apparent death of Kobe Bryant. It would seem like Sunday would be day that many people won’t forget. Whenever a young, well respected, and famous person dies, the world reacts. And they should Death is a painful shock to our souls. But why do we react with such fervency? Because it's a reminder. In fact, I believe there are 5 reminders that come from untimely death. Death is inevitable. It doesn’t matter who are you, what you do, where you live, or when you live, we will all die. We may get face lifts to look younger. We can workout to tighten up bodies. We can eat vegan or as much meat as the world offers, we are all going to die. Period. We are powerless over death. This is what James reminds us of in James 1:9-11: “ Let the lowly brother boast in his exal
