Astronomy and God’s Greatness
Can you bind the chains of the Pleiades? Can you loosen Orionʼs belt? Can you bring forth the constellations in their seasons or lead out the Bear with its cubs? Do you know the laws of the heavens? Can you set up Godʼs dominion over the earth? -Job 38:31-33
When we put these words next to what we know about the universe, we can only sit back in awe and wonder at the vastness of creation and the God who made it all. And it makes the fact that he came and lived among us even more incredible. Watch this short explanation about what we know of the universe and let the greatness of God overwhelm your imagination.

This is the heart of the Good News that reverberates throughout the New Testament.…
When God is Revealed
Whether we’re talking about our relationship with God or with other people, the quality of our relationships can never go beyond the level of trust the relating parties have in each other’s character. We cannot be rightly related to God, therefore, except insofar as we embrace a trustworthy picture of him. To the extent that…
Does Prayer Really Change Things?
Many people operate out of a blueprint model where God is viewed as absolutely unchanging, and all that occurs in the world is the unfolding of an eternal divine plan. If this is the case, then the purpose of prayer is to change us, not to change things. While prayer does change us, the Bible…
A Foolish and Weak-Looking God
The New Testament assumes that the God of Israel and the God revealed in Jesus Christ are one and the same God. But there also can be no question that the portrait of God that was unveiled when the Messiah arrived on the scene was in some respects quite different from what the OT had…
