Glimpses of God, Part 5, "What's in a Name?"

October 29, 2023 • Pastor Robin Garvin

When the names of God are revealed throughout God’s story, we catch glimpses of who God is. His character and very nature. God gives us this insight so that we may know Him in His fullness. Knowing God in this intimate way gives the seeker all they need to thrive here on this side of heaven. Come know the God who orders creation (including the Angel squad) and whose presence transforms everything.

Sermon Only - Glimpses of God - Part 4

October 22, 2023 • Psalm 23

Do you have someone who deeply cares about you? This is one of the most important aspects of a relationship. When someone loves us, regardless of all our warts and worries. It creates a close relationship where the highs and lows of life can be shared together. From the moment we are born, we’re created to live in relationships with others. We do better, live longer, and thrive in nurturing communities, rather than alone or isolated. We want to know that somewhere out there is someone who is looking out for our best interest, cheering us on, and believing in us. Find out more this Sunday as we talk about Jesus being our GOOD Shepherd.

Sermon Only - Glimpses of God - Part 3

October 15, 2023 • Pastor Ben Sosa

All of humanity is in a bind, because we are a sinful people. We are not blameless and cannot become so by our own merit. Because God is righteous, and in Him there is no sin, there is no way for us to get to Him. However, God has made a way for humanity to be sanctified. He draws us to Himself so that we can be free in Him. This Sunday we are exploring the God who is Righteous (Yahweh-Tsidkenu) and the God who Sanctifies (Yahweh-M'Kaddesh).

Glimpses of God, Part 1, Eternal supplier

October 1, 2023 • Pastor Glenn Garvin • Isaiah 52:6

What’s in a name? Names are significant and can often provide a prophetic sense of what a person will become. There are even times when changing your name becomes necessary to break from the past and head towards a new future. Do you know the meaning of your name? Check out this link - https://www.names.org/ The Bible is absolutely filled with names. These next few weeks we will look at God’s names and how that gives us glimpses of who He is - His character. We will also look at God’s names through the lens of Jesus’ behaviors and miracles. How Jesus lived out the very character of God.
