God knows everything about us. The question today is how well do we know God? Do you know Him well enough to fear Him, serve Him, and trust Him? Let's know Him well enough to totally surrender to Him.

Bill Bright and James Davis encourages us to work with God not for God. We often forget that God invites us to work with Him. We can do very little working for God but working with God we can accomplish so much more.

Ecclesiastes 4:13 is a powerful verse. It tells us that a poor youth that listens to advice and warnings is wiser than a old but foolish king. Let's read the instructions. Let's heed the warnings. Let's take Godly advice.

Last week we began a two part message: Thank God for the Overflow. Today we finish that message. We must realize that we can never produce what is not in us. James says a good well can not give bad water and the opposite is also true. The amazing thing is that we can be quite productive by being so full of God's fruits that everyone around us can be ministered too--all from the overflow.

While looking at the bird feeders in my yard, I was amazed at all the sunflowers that had sprung up. They all came from the overflow. We know that Jesus speaks of himself as a kernel of wheat, a seed, that had to be planted in order for salvation to be possible. Before you can have a Pentecost you must have a Passover. Jesus was our Passover Lamb. He was willing to be planted to die so we could come to life.

Without understanding and knowledge we perish or we can be destroyed. Knowing the meaning and purpose of 7 Hebrew words of praise will build our faith and give our praise greater effectiveness.

You have heard it said there are two sides to every story. That is true. Isaiah is a book about judgement and mercy. We have to see both sides because both sides are true.

It's often said "God is not speaking." But could it be we are not listening? Faith comes by hearing, so if we are not hearing is our faith stagnant and not growing? Let's talk about it.

God tells us that heaven is his throne and the earth is His footstool. The universe can not contain God yet he is small enough to live in our hearts.

Today our lesson takes us to a study of the Millennium. We don't know a whole lot about this subject but we know that God has everything under control. Let's see if we can get a glimpse of the future.

Isaiah 65 gives two seemingly conflicting promises. First he promises that God will always have a remnant. Secondly he promises no mercy for the unrepentant. We have a choice of which promise we will receive.

The prophet Isaiah prophesied that Gentiles would be able to be accepted into the family. God did not forsake the Jews; they rejected Him. Therefore it opened the door for those of us who are not Jews to be accepted into the family.

God had been so good to Israel but Israel and turned away from God. He was nowhere in their plans. God desired His name to proclaimed to the surrounding nations but Israel failed God and themselves.

It might not be something that we all want to talk about, but we've all been there a time or two. When the storms around us are great, our faith is put to the test, and we've got a decision to make; are we going to trust in God's plan or are we going to succumb to the fear of the storm and allow anxiety to take over? In this message, we'll learn that when Jesus is in the boat, we can sit back, put our feet up, and relax even in the midst of a storm.

To grieve the Holy Spirit is a great offense. A great example is when Saul was confronted by Samuel and made all kind of excuses but never acknowledged his failure. David, on the other hand, quickly repented and God's Spirit never left him.

Our God is a loving God and He does so much for us. Yet we have a tendency to forget His blessings and begin to drift away from Him. When we do that we grieve the Holy Spirit--we literally vex Him or cause Him pain. How can we keep from doing that? Let's talk about it.

After reminding us that the Church is the bride of Christ, Isaiah issues a challenge and some great words of encouragement. The challenge is to fulfill the Great Commission and help others get to heaven. The encouragement is that God is watching over us and is there to empower us for that ministry.
