Dr. Clifton Black – Getting to Know God – #5

030313AM2 from Mountain Grove Church on Vimeo.

Americans are pros at performance and we know nothing about grace. The American work ethic says, “You get what you pay for. You get what you deserve.” That makes it very hard to relate to the fact that God is a gracious God. Psalm 86:15 says, “You, O Lord, are a compassionate and gracious God.”

What does grace mean? Grace means that God wants to give me the desires of me Heart, not just what I need! His grace is unconditional, unlimited and unending, the Bible says.

This week we are going to continue our series and learn that we have a truly compassionate and gracious Heavenly Father.

Dr. Clifton Black – Getting to Know God – #4

022413AM2 from Mountain Grove Church on Vimeo.

We are in a series on “Getting to Know God,” what is He like, the attributes of God. Today I want us to look at what theologians call God’s immutability. That simply means God never changes. We have this statement in Malachi 3:6, “I the Lord do not change!” He is always the same. He always has been; He always will be. Because He is perfect, He can’t get better and He can’t get worse therefore, He will never change. Because we are imperfect we do change. Everything else in creation changes except God.

Jeff Burkhimer – All You Need is Love #2

All You Need Is Love #2: Don't Stop Believing from Mountain Grove Church on Vimeo.

Suffering levels the playing field for all of us. Nobody escapes pain and suffering. Wow what a great way to open up a sermon. I know this is a tough topic and its one of the reasons some people stay away from church and find it hard to trust God. They ask questions like, “HOW can a good God let suffering happen?” Suffering, or one of the realities, is that it’s really the shortest route to God. When everything falls apart, when you hit bottom, overnight, or in a moment, or in a phone call, truth is everybody experiences suffering.

Dr. Clifton Black – Getting to Know God – #3

021713AM2 from Mountain Grove Church on Vimeo.

Today we are talking about is what theologians call the omnipotence of God. God is almighty. He has unlimited power. He never gets tired. He is never frustrated. Everything He does, He does easily. Nothing is ever too hard or difficult for God. It is easy for him to answer a prayer. It is just as easy for Him to create a universe. He is all-powerful. Luke 18:27 reminds us that, “All things are possible with God.” Today I want us to look at the Evidences of God’s power, the Application of God’s power in my life and the Appropriation of God’s power, in other words, how do I get God’s power in my life?

Dr. Clifton Black – Getting to Know God – #2

This is the second message in the series that I have entitled, “Getting to Know God.” It is my great desire to let you know that you can have a very personal relationship with the God of glory. To better understand who God is, each week will be looking at a different attribute of the nature of God. God is present all around us but most people are totally unaware of it. So, how do you walk in the presence of the Lord?

Jeff Burkhimer – 3:17

John 3:17, February 10, 2012 from Mountain Grove Church on Vimeo.

It seems like everyone knows, John 3:16 even if you didn’t know it you probably saw it on a Tebow eye patch or a sign at a ballgame. It is a very familiar bible verse. But what about his brother John 3:17? John 3:16 and 17 expresses, it communicates, the core of the Christian message. That is ….. GOD LOVES YOU!

Jeff Burkhimer – NEXT #5

020313AM1 from Mountain Grove Church on Vimeo.

No one is a member of the body of Christ, the Church, because they deserve to be. None of us got God’s attention by our perfection because none of us are faultless. If you believe you’re perfect please don’t HANG with the rest of us because we’re MESSED UP. We’re PEOPLE saved by the grace of God and we’re very grateful for that – but we’re still not flawless.

The truth is – even the most mature among us still struggle with some things. We have general success facing our anxieties and temptations but we still have them. We’ve made progress but we still have issues and we still make mistakes. The good news is it is not about our ability to keep the rules or to get it right.

Freedom comes when we understand its not what we do, its what He’s done!
