"God Is... Love!"

These three simple words - "God is love" - used twice by the apostle John (1 John 4:8,16) contain within them a most profound thought: The God of the universe, glorious and infinite, majestic and all-powerful, incomprehensible and greatly to be praised, holy and sovereign - has chosen to love someone like me.

You see, "God is love" is not just a catchy slogan. It is a deep theological statement about who He is and what He does. And, as we will discover in Sunday's message, what He actually did for us because of His great love for us is absolutely extraordinary! Join us as we gaze upon this attribute of God.

"God is... Good!"

Psalm 100:5 says, "For the LORD is good; his steadfast love endures forever, and his faithfulness to all generations."

This week we will explore the goodness of God. Maybe this quote from RC Sproul will help whet your appetite for this amazing attribute of God:

"Not only is God altogether good, He is consistently good. God doesn't know how to be anything but good."

Let's marvel at the goodness of God together!

Surveying the Wondrous Cross Messages

It was such an honor to be one of the speakers at the "Surveying the Wondrous Cross" conference last weekend. I was both encouraged and challenged by the messages and my heart was filled with fresh appreciation as we sang cross-centered songs together!

All four messages are now available online at http://www.randrfellowship.com/

"God Is... Holy!"

What do you do when you are exposed to something that is unlike anything you have ever experienced in your life? Something that is far more pure than you are... far more glorious than any created thing...? This is exactly what happened to Isaiah the prophet and this Sunday we will examine his response when he "sees the LORD". I'll give you another hint: Isaiah's response is certainly not casual or indifferent when he is thrust into the Holy presence of God! Check it out for yourselves at Isaiah 6:1-8.

This Sunday: God Is... Holy!
