Welcome to “In His Praise” Today’s good news is taken right from the sermon that Rev. Phil Nickles delivered today. Rev. Nickles was speaking on the subject of purifying one’s heart and God gave him four points that he shared with the congregation.  They are: 1)Pray - talk to the Lord, praise Him, thank Him and express your needs. 2) Meditate - think about God’s goodness and His word. 3) Study - read the Bible everyday and try to better understand what it says to you. 4) Spend time alone with Jesus - have a quiet time for just you and Jesus, let Him speak to your heart and refresh you. James 4:8a says, “Come near to God and He will come near to you.” By following these simple steps…

Welcome to “In His Praise” You probably remember  the story of David and Goliath, found in 1 Samuel 17. It tells of David, the young shepherd boy, that went up against Goliath, the giant, and won! Here we see David, probably a teenager, with no experience as a soldier. He had no fighting equipment or armor. It appeared that all David carried with him was a sling shot and five stones.  Goliath on the other hand, had all the fighting gear one could have and heavy body armor for protection. The Bible tells us that he stood over nine feet tall! He taunted the Israelites (God’s people) everyday. Goliath had probably been in many battles and killed many people. This fight did not seem fair. But David had something more…

Welcome to “In His Praise” “For the Lord is good and his love endures forever; his faithfulness continues through all generations.” This reassuring verse is found in Psalm 100:5. What a joy and blessing it is to know that God’s love will never end.  We can depend on Him forever, even for future generations! Sometimes in this world we may think that the future looks bleak and there is little hope for a new generation. But these words encourage us to believe and trust that as long as we put our faith in God, He will never let us down.  God loves us now and He will love us in the future. This is good news we should share with people of all ages.

Welcome to “In His Praise” How great is our God? There is no sin He cannot forgive, no hurt He cannot heal, no wrong He cannot right. As the song says, “What a mighty God we serve.”  When the world looks scary and overwhelming, we can rejoice in the knowledge that we have a Savior that has overcome the world. (see John 16:33)  When our problems seem hard to bear, Jesus invites us to come to Him for relief and rest. (see Matthew 11:28-30). Most importantly, because we need salvation, God provides it for us through His Son, Jesus Christ - “For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life,” John 3:16. What…

Welcome to “In His Praise” Being a child of God has many benefits, most importantly being saved from our sins and gaining eternal life in heaven. It is such a blessing to know that our future is secure, that we have a permanent home with Jesus that will last forever. But what about while we are still here on earth? Life is not always easy or simple or fair. The world is not a safe place many times. We all have had unpleasant experiences, some even have lived through horrific times. But, as a child of God, we are assured that even in hard or terrible times, we are not alone. Romans 8:35 asks these questions,“Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution,…

Welcome to “In His Praise” We live in a lost and fallen world and things seem to be getting worse all the time. What are Christians to do when it seems the news is filled with nothing but bad news? What are we to do when it seems that all we hear about is violence, anger and destruction. Evil is running rampant in our world today. It may seem that good people are out numbered and have no voice. But don’t lose hope, there is good news! Matthew 5:14-16 says, “You are the light of the world. A city on a hill cannot be hidden. Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a bowl. Instead they put it on its stand, and it gives light to everyone…

Welcome to “In His Praise” “The Mighty One, God, the Lord, speaks and summons the earth from the rising of the sun to the place where it sets”, Psalm 50:1. What a powerful verse of scripture! When things seem out of control we are assured that God is still in control. He who created the earth and all the universe keeps all things on course by His word. He calls the earth forth as a kind father calling a child and He watches over the earth and all its inhabitants everyday, all day. What comfort and joy this verse of scripture should bring to our hearts! It is good to be loved so much by such a mighty God!

Welcome to “In His Praise” The good news from East Point C.P. Church today is a verse from Psalm 118:14. These Bible words say, “The Lord is my strength and song, and is become my salvation.” These words give us encouragement, hope and assurance. No matter how weak we feel we are, as Christians we know we can always depend on strength from the Lord. He stands ready and willing to help us when we call out to Him.  When we’re sad or afraid, He will put a song in our hearts and can cause the darkest circumstances to become brighter. Remember Paul and Silas in prison? They sang praises and an earthquake freed them! (Acts 16:25-31) And what gives us cause to sing? The salvation that the Lord alone…

Welcome to “In His Praise” Today we celebrate fathers. There are all kinds of dads. Many are biological dads, some may be adopted or stepdads. Still others could be a friend or relative that is a role model or surrogate dad. Whatever kind of dad you are, we say Happy Father’s Day to you and thank you for all you do. May you know the Lord and feel His guidance as you love and nurture your children. This is our prayer for you:  Lord, thank you for fathers and their special place in the life of the family. Grant that the fathers of our church and nation learn and accept the unique role you have given them. Give them the spiritual discernment to lead their children to know God as…

Welcome to “In His Praise” How important is it to read and study the Bible? Among other things, the Bible is God’s ordained word, it gives guidance for daily life, it tells us what we need to do to have eternal life and it tells the story of Christ. The Bible is full of promises from God to us. Isaiah 55:11 tells us that when God’s word is spoken it accomplishes things.  It is powerful, true and trustworthy. God’s word is one thing that will never change and can always be depended on.  So, how important is it to read and study the Bible? It is very important! Reading God’s word will draw us closer to our Lord. It will strengthen us for our daily lives and cause us to…
