God’s Word: Its Ministry and Excellency as Applied to the Believer in Contrast to the Virtual World

Psalm 19:7-14 If you missed last week, we started into Psalm 19. And we looked at the first 6 verses of that psalm, which talked about general revelation: the created world, its nature, its effects, and how we can apply that. And today we’re gonna finish up this psalm talking about special revelation, the revealed Word of God, and the right response that we should have to it. So if you’re not already there, turn with me to Psalm 19,…

God’s World: Its Nature and Effects as Applied to the Believer in Contrast to the Virtual World

Psalm 19:1-6 If you would turn with me in your Bibles for our message this morning to Psalm 19, and as you turn to Psalm 19, I was directed to this passage in the Lord’s good Providence as I recently read a book called, “12 Ways Your Phone Is Changing You” by Tony Reinke. And if you ran into me during the conference in the conference bookstore, you probably heard me tell you that if you were going to buy…

It’s been an encouragement in the midst of trials, even discipline from the Lord to repent, to trust in the one who controls all things and is working all…

Yahweh’s Relentless Mercy, Part 2

Jonah 1:7-17 For this morning, we are going to be back in the book of Jonah, if you want to make your way there in your copy of the scriptures. We’re gonna finish up chapter 1 of Jonah this morning. And so I just want to, at the front of this read chapter 1 again, have the context in our mind, the narrative in, in our minds before we get into the verses we’re gonna cover this morning. So Jonah…
