Topic: God’s Attributes

  • The Fear of the Lord

    A call to approach God rightly, in reverence, gratitude, and obedience, as the fear that is the beginning of wisdom.

  • The Fear of the Lord and Coram Deo

    A seminar for ministers on cultivating a right fear of the Lord – reverence joined with holy dread, not craven terror – and on living every moment of life consciously coram Deo, before the face of a holy God.

  • Coram Deo

    ‘Coram Deo’ means living before the face of God. This message asks whether your life’s ultimate goal is God’s glory or your own, worldly desires.

  • Anno Domini: In the Year of the Lord

    On New Year’s Day, this message reflects on “Anno Domini” — the year of our Lord — tracing how God has always marked time around His redemptive acts, from Israel’s Passover calendar to Christ who holds all things together.

  • God Is a Consuming Fire

    A survey of God’s holy fire in judgment, from Sodom and Nadab and Abihu to Uzzah and the ark, calling believers to worship with reverence and awe.

  • God or Chance

    When the ark of God fell into Philistine hands and ‘the glory had departed from Israel,’ the events that followed force the question: was any of it mere chance, or was the sovereign hand of God at work the whole time?

  • Predestination

    Across three sessions, this teaching lays out the doctrine of predestination — God’s sovereign, unconditional choice to save sinners in Christ before the foundation of the world — and shows it standing together with, not against, human responsibility for sin.

  • A Place Called Wits’ End

    Sailors caught in a storm at sea, with every skill exhausted, cried to the Lord and he brought them out of their distress. This message speaks to reaching your own wits’ end.

  • The Holy Trinity

    John’s prologue grounds the doctrine of the Trinity: the Word who was with God and was God became flesh and dwelt among us.

  • The Triune God: One God, One Lord

    Who is the God of the Bible? This message works from the burning bush’s “I AM” to the Shema’s “the LORD is one,” showing the one true God revealed as three persons, worthy of all worship.

  • The Terror of Dreams

    Nebuchadnezzar’s terrifying dream of a great statue, broken by a stone cut without hands, reveals that God’s kingdom alone will never be destroyed.

  • The Doctrine of Hell and the Goodness of God

    Is the doctrine of hell compatible with a good God? This message defends hell as real, conscious, and everlasting — and shows why that truth, rightly understood, magnifies rather than undermines God’s goodness.
