Well, it’s good to be with all of you today, and I’m glad Corey didn’t mention that he was going to be off this week, because I’m glad to see you all here.

Mother Wisdom’s Cry
Proverbs 1:20-33 20 Out in the open wisdom calls aloud, she raises her voice in the public square;21 on top of the wall she cries out, at the city gate she makes her speech: 22 “How long will you who are simple love your simple ways? How long will mockers delight in mockery and fools hate knowledge?23 Repent at my rebuke! Then I will pour out my thoughts to you, I will make known to you my teachings.24 But since you refuse to listen when I call and no one pays attention when I stretch out my…
God Is All-Powerful
Section 1: God Week 1: God Is Great Day 4: God Is All-Powerful Eph. 3:14-20 Theologians like to say God is omnipotent. That’s just a fancy way of saying God is all-powerful. Oddly, when we say that, we don’t actually mean he can do absolutely everything. There are, in fact, certain things God can’t do. He cannot lie, for example (Titus 1:2). He cannot be tempted (James 1:13). He cannot sin in any way. God Is Able to Do Anything…
God Is All-Knowing
Section 1: God Week 1: God Is Great Day 3: God Is All-Knowing Ps. 139 Theologians often say God is omniscient, which means he knows everything. Traditionally, that has been understood to mean God knows absolutely everything about the past, present, and future. Can God Really Know the Future? Recently, though, a theological movement known as Open Theism has suggested God doesn’t really know the future because he gave us free will. Open Theists argue, until a person actually makes…
God Exists Outside of Time…But Acts Within It
Section 1: God Week 1: God Is Great Day 2: God Exists Outside of Time…But Acts Within It Ps. 90:1-2 We human beings live within the constraints of time. Time is simply something we can’t escape. If you watch any amount of science fiction, you’ve seen your share of time travel scenarios. Even in sci-fi though, we travel through time, not outside of it. Time is an inescapable reality – even in fantasy. But God isn’t limited by time the…
God Cannot Be Fully Understood…But He Can Be Known
Section 1: God Week 1: God Is Great Day 1: God Cannot Be Fully Understood…But He Can Be Known Ps. 145:1-3 All of us have ideas about what God is like. The question is: are our ideas about God accurate? That’s a particularly important question for Christians. We love and serve God. At some point though, if our view of God sufficiently misses the mark, we’re really loving and serving another god. That’s not a matter to take lightly. So…
Does God Really Exist?
Section 1: God Digging Deeper Topic 1: What Kind of evidence should we expect? We’ve spent a lot of time talking about what God is like. But many people claim there is no God. In light of those skeptics, it’s worth asking whether there’s any evidence that God does, in fact, exist. Now, when we look at the evidence for God’s existence, it’s important to recognize we’re never going to have access to the kind of direct evidence we might…
