For
[we are not] ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of
God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and
also to the Greek. For therein is the righteousness of God revealed
from faith to faith: as it is written, The just shall live by faith.

Sunday Message
"THE GREATNESS OF GOD"
Isa 40
"Let every valley be lifted up, And every mountain and hill be made low; And let the rough ground become a plain, And the rugged terrain a broad valley; Then the glory of the LORD will be revealed, And all flesh will see it together; For the mouth of the LORD has spoken." {Isa 40:4-5} NASB
OPENING PRAYER
Mysterious, all consuming, all seeing, all knowing Creator of the Universe, we humble ourselves in Your presence and pray for divine enlightenment in expanding our human understanding of Your Awesome Greatness. Open our eyes, ears and souls to see, witness, and understand with greater clarity as You daily make the impossible POSSIBLE as Author of all that there is. Show us please, through Your Word, O'Holy Spirit and Son, our SAVIOR, Jesus the Christ, AMEN.
MESSAGE
The GREATNESS OF GOD! In the period of literally SIX days, the Bible documents the moment of earth's creation. In SIX literal days, GOD created the world out of nothing. When GOD spoke the WORD, it was! Just like that!
Now, in order to prevent developing a CHARLIE HORSE OF THE BRAIN, which I have personally suffered many, many times. We are going to take it nice and slow as we go our way. In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. {Gen 1:1 } Ten words. This is a pretty straight forward statement of Biblical truth, very understandable. That is until we discover that before GOD made the earth and everything on the earth, including you and me, and He SPOKE it all into existence out of NOTHING. (Here comes the CHARLIE HORSE OF THE BRAIN)--GOD made everything out of NOTHING!
In the New Testament and the Gospel according to the Apostle John; In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He [the WORD] was in the beginning with God. All things came into being through Him [the WORD], and apart from Him nothing came into being that has come into being. In Him [the WORD] was life, and the life was the Light of men. The Light shines in the darkness, and the darkness did not comprehend it. {Joh 1:1-5}
In the first three verses of Genesis, we know who all is present; We see GOD himself, The Holy Spirit of GOD, and the WORD of GOD. The complete TRINITY is present, FATHER, SON, and HOLY SPIRIT. Don't you just LOVE the BIBLE?
The Prophet Isaiah delivers to us a concise, almost "CLIFF NOTES" overview including expectation of future events:
Isa 40:1,3-5: "Comfort, O comfort My people," says your God. A voice is calling, "Clear the way for the LORD in the wilderness; Make smooth in the desert a highway for our God. "Let every valley be lifted up, And every mountain and hill be made low; And let the rough ground become a plain, And the rugged terrain a broad valley; Then the glory of the LORD will be revealed, And all flesh will see it together; For the mouth of the LORD has spoken."
God is GREATNESS because He is God! He cannot be less because He is the Creator of all things. God has always been. There has never been nor will there ever be a time when He was not. The Lord is The Master Shepherd - He will tend His flock, In His arms He will gather the lambs And carry them in His bosom; He will gently lead the nursing ewes. {Isa 40:11} God is very hands-on.
Before we were formed, God knew our specific substance. While we began to grow from a single cell dividing in our mother's womb, God was adding the ingredients of Glory to Him through us. He gave us our individual personality, interests, skills, talents with the expectation that in future days we would use these interests, skills and talents to bring Glory to Him the Father of all.
Many of us ask the question, "What does God expect of me, How do I serve Him?" You serve by using the Gifts He gave you while in the womb, and then give HIM the glory. Simple huh? DO WHAT YOU DO...DO WELL WITH ALL OF YOUR MIGHT and without any shame or selfishness, Praise the LORD!
SUMMARYThe GREATNESS of GOD cannot be calculated nor fully comprehended by the human brain. The task of attempting discovery would be like attempting to count and mark every grain of sand on the earth with a unique mark or code to its self.
Do you not know? Have you not heard? The Everlasting God, the LORD, the Creator of the ends of the earth Does not become weary or tired. His understanding is inscrutable. He gives strength to the weary, And to him who lacks might He increases power. Though youths grow weary and tired, And vigorous young men stumble badly, Yet those who wait for the LORD Will gain new strength; They will mount up with wings like eagles, They will run and not get tired, They will walk and not become weary. {Isa 40:28-31}
The GREATNESS we experience with our Lord is in knowing His love, knowing His heart, His patience, His Forgiveness, His unlimited power! We who confess His name have direct access through prayer from our mouths and heart to HIS ears, any where, any time. All of this is but a tiny portion of Gods many attributes, that we have gathered in a big basket we call Greatness!
He heals the brokenhearted And binds up their wounds. He counts the number of the stars; He gives names to all of them. Great is our Lord and abundant in strength; His understanding is infinite. {Psa 147:3-5 }
CLOSING PRAYER
Holy Father God, we never tire of praising You, Jesus and The Holy Sprit. We never tire of learning and growing in Your foot steps because You never change, You are Immutable, You have always been, and will continue exactly as as you are and will forever be. We Love You because you first loved us! In the name of Jesus the Christ, AMEN
DOXOLOGY
Praise God, from Whom all blessings flow;
Praise Him, all creatures here below;
Praise Him above, Ye heaven-ly host;
Praise Father, Son, and Holy Ghost
Amen
THE CALL
If you have never invited Jesus to be your Lord and savior, or, if you have in the past yet remain unsure of salvation and forgiveness of sin, Please pray with me now: Lord Jesus I need to fill a hole in my life that follows me where ever I go. I am a long-time Sinner and I CONFESS and REPENT of all my sins. I believe that You JESUS are the Lord, that you were hung on a cross and died. I believe that you were raised back to life by God, Your Father, ascended into heaven and presently sit at the right hand of The Almighty. Please come into me, clean me, take me and make me Yours and let me serve from this day forward and forever, Thank-You Jesus, AMEN
If you sincerely prayed with me, your salvation has been assured. {Rom 10:9 KJV} -That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.
Waste no time in finding like minded folks, to fellowship with, who also know the lord Jesus. Be introduced to a church that preaches the BIBLE. Email me. Begin the journey that you will never tire of; the discovery of the Majesty, Beauty and loving Power of Jesus the Christ. Welcome to the family!
