| Series Description: One of the most misunderstood attributes of God is that God Is Love. Notice I didn't say He is loving or even just loveable. He's love itself. And people, stop and think of what that means. Every single thing God has ever done or ever will do is a perfect act of love. Why? Because God Is Love. But herein lies our problem. We live in a society that has a warped view of what true love is. When you mention the word "love" today, most people think it refers to doing something sexual. But people, God demonstrated what true love is by something sacrificial. He sent His Son to die for our sins. Now that is love! But even here, we've become so numb to this amazing act of God's love, that we have lost any appreciation for it. Therefore, God Is Love takes a look at the 6 ways God demonstrates that He is love itself. He does it by giving us Compassion, Kindness, Graciousness, Faithfulness, Patience, and Goodness. And what's so incredible about all this is that the whole time it's not only free for the asking but we don't deserve it! People of God, if we can't seem to appreciate the fact that God Is Love, then something is terribly wrong with us! If we had any idea of the depths of God's love we would not only fall on our knees in reverence and kiss the very feet of Christ but we'd get up on our feet and run to tell everyone of their immediate need of Christ! Why? Because that's what happens when you truly understand that God Is Love. |

| Series Description: Danger! Danger! The alarm has sounded! The American Church is under attack! The Body of Christ has fallen under a horrible epidemic where believers in God no longer believe in God! Believe it or not, we now have Churches full of people who are living like practical atheists. Oh, we say we believe in God, but half the time we act like He's not there by our lips and our lives. This is not only detrimental in our walk with God, but it keeps others from believing in God. Therefore, to avoid this irony of Christians living like practical atheists by not knowing who God is, God is Holy shows us that some of the best ways to understand the Holiness of God is not to just look at a Hebrew or Greek word but to simply observe; the Reaction of People, (causes them to shut their mouths, fear for their lives, fall flat on their face and suck carpet) the Removal of People, (God's zero tolerance for sin and the consequential deaths of Nadab and Abihu, Achan, Uzzah, and Ananias and Sapphira) and the Reminders for People that He is Holy and we are not in (The Symbolism of the Tabernacle). People of God, here are the facts. If the world is ever going to believe our message of hope, forgiveness, and love through Jesus Christ, then you and I must stop acting like practical atheists and start demonstrating by our lips and our lives that God Is Holy. |

| Series Description: Whether it's the Christian or the non-Christian, one universal question we all seem to have in this life is, "If God Really Loves Me, Then Why Do I Suffer?" Unfortunately, most people can't see any rhyme or reason why a Wise and Loving God would allow difficulties to come our way. Therefore, many people either deny that God exists or they accuse Him of being a Big Ol' Meany. Therefore this series takes a look at 16 Wise Reasons why God allows difficulties. Such wise reasons as: To Expose Our Sin Nature, To Keep Us From Becoming Spiritually Lazy, To Cause Us To Be A Blessing To Others, To Teach Us That God is God and We Are Not, To Make Us More Like Jesus, To Keep Us From Wasting Our Lives, To Make Us More Humble, To Make Us More Joyful, To Make Us More Loving, To Produce A Powerful Testimony, To Produce A Powerful Character, To Get Us Steered In A New Direction, To Get Us To Build Our Faith, To Get Us To Appreciate Fellowship, To Teach Us The Power Of Praise and To Take Us To Heaven. People, God is not being some sort of cosmic terrorist and He certainly isn't trying to torture us when He allows difficulties to come our way. No! God loves each and everyone of us, and if we could only see how Wise He really is, we would be able to soar above any and all problems that come our way! And isn't that what all we pray for? |

You see, what you believe determines how you behave, and if you don't believe in God, then you'll act ungodly. It's as simple as that. Therefore, this study, God is Real, looks at the Four classical Arguments of the Existence of God. They include The Argument of Being, the Argument of Beginnings, the Argument of Morals, and the Argument of Design. People, the facts are this, if our society does not believe that there is a God, then why are we shocked when they keep acting like it? We don't need anymore secular solutions to the ills of our society. What we need is the truth of God's existence proclaimed across our great nation. People need to know that God alone is to be worshipped and that God alone will demand an account of every word and deed we have ever done. But unless we His Church start demonstrating the reality of God's existence with out lips and with out lives, how can we expect anyone to believe us? Therefore, this study seeks to encourage you to stop acting like practical athiest's and start living like God is Real. |
