No Matter How Deep Your Hole, that You have Dug for Yourself, You Can Call on God the Creator of the Universe for Help MESSAGE SUMMARY: Prayer is your conduit for communion with God. Through prayer, you are in God's Presence; and you can invite His help in your life's situations. The best way to learn how to have this communion with God is to just do it and use your normal conversational words; however, the words of Scripture are powerful and work strongly. Just pray with your heart in conversation with God. Jonah, in Jonah 2:1-2, models for us that no matter how deep our situational hole, which we have dug for ourselves, we can call on God the Creator of the Universe for help: “Then Jonah prayed to the LORD his God from the belly of the fish, saying, ‘I called out to the LORD, out of my distress, and he answered me; out of the belly of Sheol I cried, and you heard my voice.'".   TODAY'S PRAYER: Lord, I now take a deep breath and stop. So often I miss your hand and gifts in my life because I am preoccupied and anxious. Grant me the power to pause each day and each week to simply rest in your arms of love. In Jesus' name, amen. Scazzero, Peter. Emotionally Healthy Spirituality Day by Day (p. 132). Zondervan. Kindle Edition. TODAY'S AFFIRMATION: Today, because I am filled with the Holy Spirit, I will not be controlled by my Self-Centeredness. Rather, I will walk in the Spirit's fruit of Love. “The fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control.” (Galatians 5:22f).

“In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth.” Genesis 1:1 establishes the foundational truth of Scripture: God is the Creator of everything that exists. Genesis 1 presents the creation of the heavens and the earth, showing God's sovereign authority over all creation and establishing the fundamental distinction between the Creator and His creation. The account of creation also reveals the orderly work of God as He forms and fills the world, culminating in the creation of mankind. The truth that God created everything has profound implications for how we understand the world and our place within it. Creation belongs to God because He made it, and humanity exists under His authority as His creation. Hebrews 11:3 and John 1:3 reinforce the testimony of Genesis, pointing to God's creative power and identifying Jesus Christ as the One through whom all things were made. Genesis 1 ultimately directs our attention to the God of everything, who not only gives physical life through creation but also gives spiritual life through the new birth. ________________________________________ Links to Sermon Notes & Answers: ➤Sermon Notes (Blank): https://www.sheridanhills.org/_files/ugd/30fec2_d38b5850d5024e64b1ba7d4f8147b2cf.pdf ➤Sermon Notes (Answers): https://www.sheridanhills.org/_files/ugd/30fec2_3d607aa8fd1c4a8d86165c7a1bb75b95.pdf ________________________________________ In this video: Review of previous sermons in series Main Points Application ________________________________________ Subscribe to this channel to catch weekly expositional sermons from the Bible. ________________________________________ Explore more sermons and information: https://www.sheridanhills.org/watch-new ________________________________________ Follow us: ➤Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/sheridanhills/ ➤Twitter: https://twitter.com/sheridanhills01 ➤Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/sheridanhills/

This is part 1 of a 4-part Series called: 'The Truth.' In this message, Pastor Derek discusses the different approaches needed to share the Gospel with various audiences, focusing on the Hebrew and Greek worldviews. For the Jews who'd already received the foundational biblical truths of God, Creation, Adam, the Fall (sin), and the Messianic Hope, the apostles focused on proving that Jesus is the promised Messiah, because He fulfilled all the Messianic Prophecies (Acts 2,3 and13). For those who do not have this foundation of Truth, as is the case for many people today, because of secular humanism, we have to build this foundation first before they can understand the Gospel. This is what Paul did in Acts 14 and 17. Derek demonstrates this by expounding Acts 14:8-17 and 17:16-21. As we share the TRUTH of God and the GOSPEL of Christ, we are SHINING His LIGHT on them, and if they desire to know God, they will SEEK Him, and the eyes of their heart will gradually open more and more to the light, and they will FIND Him, because He is not far from each one of us (Acts 17:27).

Join Fr. Assisi Saldanha, C.Ss.R., in this insightful episode of Who's Who in the Bible as he explores the profound mystery of our own creation. Reflecting on the Genesis narrative, Father Assisi invites us to marvel at what it truly means to be made in the image and likeness of God. He delves into the symbolic structure of the creation account, emphasizing our unique role as stewards of the earth and the deep significance of our horizontal and vertical relationships. Through a thoughtful examination of scripture, he bridges the Old and New Testaments to reveal how the eternal Word of God, Jesus Christ, serves as the ultimate model for humanity. This discussion beautifully reminds us of our inherent preciousness in God's eyes and calls us to live with gratitude and purpose. We encourage you to open your heart to this meaningful reflection and invite you to explore the rest of this inspiring series to deepen your own biblical journey.

Join Fr. Assisi Saldanha, C.Ss.R. for an insightful journey into the heart of biblical storytelling in this episode of the Who's Who in the Bible series. As we begin this reflective study, Fr. Assisi turns our focus to the prime mover of the biblical landscape—God Himself. Through a warm and prayerful exploration, he unpacks the significance of the various names attributed to God throughout scripture, such as Yahweh, Elohim, Adonai, and El Shaddai. By examining these titles, Fr. Assisi helps us move beyond simple facts to develop a deeper, more personal relationship with the Divine. The discussion expands into the Genesis creation narrative, contrasting it with ancient mythological stories to highlight the unique, effortless, and orderly nature of God's creative word. This episode invites listeners to ponder the balance between God's magnificent omnipotence and His tender, personal care for each of us in our fragility. We invite you to continue this meaningful journey by exploring the full series as we dive deeper into the characters and themes that shape our faith.

God Is Father, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit, and You Pray to One Triune Being – God, the Creator of the Universe MESSAGE SUMMARY: In Mark 8:29, Jesus asked His Disciples the question He asks you: “And he asked them, ‘But who do you say that I am?' Peter answered him, ‘You are the Christ {Messiah}.'". As Paul writes in Ephesians 4:1-6: “There is one body and one Spirit—just as you were called to the one hope that belongs to your call— one Lord, one faith, one baptism, one God and Father of all, who is over all and through all and in all. But grace was given to each one of us according to the measure of Christ's gift.”.  God IS Father, IS Son, and He IS Holy Spirit. Jesus told the crowd in the Temple; and He tells us, as it is recorded for us now by the Apostle John, in John 10:25,30: “Jesus answered them, ‘I told you, and you do not believe. The works that I do in my Father's name bear witness about me . . . I and the Father are one.'”. Also, Jesus provides more insights to your Trinitarian relationship with God in John 14:18-20: “I will not leave you as orphans; I will come to you. Yet a little while and the world will see me no more, but you will see me. Because I live, you also will live. In that day you will know that I am in my Father, and you in me, and I in you.". God is one God, but He is in three natures: God is Father, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit. Therefore, when you pray, you are praying to one triune being – God, the Creator of the Universe.   TODAY'S PRAYER: Lord, help me to be still and to wait patiently for you in silence. In Jesus' name, amen. Scazzero, Peter. Emotionally Healthy Spirituality Day by Day (p. 125). Zondervan. Kindle Edition. TODAY'S AFFIRMATION: Today, I affirm that, because I am in Jesus Christ, He will supply all my needs (Philippians 4:19). “I can do everything through Him who gives me strength.”. (Philippians 4:14).

Do You Have a Personal Relationship with God and Pray Directly to God, the Creator of the Universe, for the Needs of Others? MESSAGE SUMMARY: Will you come before God with your prayers, and for whom will you pray? We can and should come before God on behalf ourselves and others -- intercessory prayer. You and I are given the privilege of following Moses' example when he prayed to God on behalf of his people in Psalms 102:1-2: “Hear my prayer, O LORD; let my cry come to you! Do not hide your face from me in the day of my distress! Incline your ear to me; answer me speedily in the day when I call!". Because of what Jesus has done for us, we can exercise this privilege of praying directly to God, the Creator of the Universe. You come before God by talking to Him with your prayers and in a personal relationship with Him. For whom and what do you pray?   TODAY'S PRAYER: Lord, I now take a deep breath and stop. So often I miss your hand and gifts in my life because I am preoccupied and anxious. Grant me the power to pause each day and each week to simply rest in your arms of love. In Jesus' name, amen. Scazzero, Peter. Emotionally Healthy Spirituality Day by Day (p. 132). Zondervan. Kindle Edition. TODAY'S AFFIRMATION: Today, Because of who I am in Jesus Christ, I will not be driven by Lust. Rather, I will abide in the Lord's Perfect Provision. “I am the vine; you are the branches. If a man remains in Me and I in him, he will bear much fruit; apart from Me you can do nothing.” (John 15:5). SCRIPTURE REFERENCE (ESV): Romans 1:10-12; James 5:13-18; Exodus 3:1-15; Psalms 130:1-8.

There is no one like the Lord; no one can compare to Him. The Lord needs no counsel or advice. The nations are nothing before Him. When we realize how great the Lord is, all of our problems and difficulties are put into perspective. We are called to look to “The God of All Comfort: God the Creator” (Isaiah 40:12-26).

The word "God" is used only for our reference. The universe calls God The Creator. But who and what is God, The Creator? And why have humans put other spiritual teachers like Jesus above or equal to The Creator? The channeled guides have said, "Man puts his order in wrong order."

Are science and Christian faith in opposition, each fearing the other? Does science become an idol, replacing God as creator and saviour? In this talk, David Wilkinson, both an astrophysicist and a Christian theologian, suggests that while science and Christianity ask each other searching questions, those questions are enriching not destructive. The Christian understanding of God as creator allows science to be seen as gift rather than curse, to be welcomed with awe and a sense of responsibility to do good.

God is the Creator and we must worship Him.

Is your world falling apart? Maybe it's the circumstances around you - politics, family, employment. Maybe it's within you - health, emotions, or spiritual life. When we feel this way, it's time to worship the One who holds it all together. Psalm 104 reminds us that God made everything, and He holds everything together. He is the King of the universe, and all creation declares the glory of God.

Knock on the door of a top-ten YouTuber's HQ, and you will likely get no answer. If that person is inaccessible as famous as he is, does that mean God is just as inaccessible? Wonderfully, no. Rather, we seek God who is Creator, the Holy One, and the King of Glory. Listen to Dr. Joshua Greever's (Associate Professor of New Testament at Bethlehem College & Seminary) sermon on Psalm 24 for more.

Do You Have a Personal Relationship with God and Pray Directly to God, the Creator of the Universe, for the Needs of Others? MESSAGE SUMMARY: Will you come before God with your prayers, and for whom will you pray? We can and should come before God on behalf ourselves and others -- intercessory prayer. You and I are given the privilege of following Moses' example when he prayed to God on behalf of his people in Psalms 102:1-2: “Hear my prayer, O LORD; let my cry come to you! Do not hide your face from me in the day of my distress! Incline your ear to me; answer me speedily in the day when I call!". Because of what Jesus has done for us, we can exercise this privilege of praying directly to God, the Creator of the Universe. You come before God by talking to Him with your prayers and in a personal relationship with Him. For whom and what do you pray?     TODAY'S PRAYER: Lord, I now take a deep breath and stop. So often I miss your hand and gifts in my life because I am preoccupied and anxious. Grant me the power to pause each day and each week to simply rest in your arms of love. In Jesus' name, amen. Scazzero, Peter. Emotionally Healthy Spirituality Day by Day (p. 132). Zondervan. Kindle Edition. TODAY'S AFFIRMATION: Today, Because of who I am in Jesus Christ, I will not be driven by Past Failures. Rather, I will abide in the Lord's Grace. “I am the vine; you are the branches. If a man remains in Me and I in him, he will bear much fruit; apart from Me you can do nothing.” (John 15:5). SCRIPTURE REFERENCE (ESV): Romans 1:10-12; James 5:13-18; Exodus 3:1-15; Psalms 130:1-8.

Psalm 136 (LSB)Andrew and Edwin consider the first part of Psalm 136 and God's steadfast love demonstrated in Creation. How amazing is that? Even before entering covenant with anyone, God was acting from His covenant loyal love toward His people.Read the written devo that goes along with this episode by clicking here.    Let us know what you are learning or any questions you have.

No Matter How Deep Your Hole, that You have Dug for Yourself, You Can Call on God the Creator of the Universe for Help MESSAGE SUMMARY: Prayer is your conduit for communion with God. Through prayer, you are in God's Presence; and you can invite His help in your life's situations. The best way to learn how to have this communion with God is to just do it and use your normal conversational words; however, the words of Scripture are powerful and work strongly. Just pray with your heart in conversation with God. Jonah, in Jonah 2:1-2, models for us that no matter how deep our situational hole, which we have dug for ourselves, we can call on God the Creator of the Universe for help: “Then Jonah prayed to the LORD his God from the belly of the fish, saying, ‘I called out to the LORD, out of my distress, and he answered me; out of the belly of Sheol I cried, and you heard my voice.'".   TODAY'S PRAYER: Lord, I now take a deep breath and stop. So often I miss your hand and gifts in my life because I am preoccupied and anxious. Grant me the power to pause each day and each week to simply rest in your arms of love. In Jesus' name, amen. Scazzero, Peter. Emotionally Healthy Spirituality Day by Day (p. 132). Zondervan. Kindle Edition. TODAY'S AFFIRMATION: Today, because I am filled with the Holy Spirit, I will not be controlled by my Anxiety. Rather, I will walk in the Spirit's fruit of Peace. “The fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control.” (Galatians 5:22f).

The Apostles’s Creed is one of the oldest statements of Christian Faith. It summarizes the core beliefs of Christianity. — what we believe and where we ground our faith in troubled times. For this first part, we look closely at God the Father, the Creator of Heaven and earth.

God Is Father, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit, and You Pray to One Triune Being – God, the Creator of the Universe MESSAGE SUMMARY: In Mark 8:29, Jesus asked His Disciples the question He asks you: “And he asked them, ‘But who do you say that I am?' Peter answered him, ‘You are the Christ {Messiah}.'". As Paul writes in Ephesians 4:1-6: “There is one body and one Spirit—just as you were called to the one hope that belongs to your call— one Lord, one faith, one baptism, one God and Father of all, who is over all and through all and in all. But grace was given to each one of us according to the measure of Christ's gift.”.  God IS Father, IS Son, and He IS Holy Spirit. Jesus told the crowd in the Temple; and He tells us, as it is recorded for us now by the Apostle John, in John 10:25,30: “Jesus answered them, ‘I told you, and you do not believe. The works that I do in my Father's name bear witness about me . . . I and the Father are one.'”. Also, Jesus provides more insights to your Trinitarian relationship with God in John 14:18-20: “I will not leave you as orphans; I will come to you. Yet a little while and the world will see me no more, but you will see me. Because I live, you also will live. In that day you will know that I am in my Father, and you in me, and I in you.". God is one God, but He is in three natures: God is Father, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit. Therefore, when you pray, you are praying to one triune being – God, the Creator of the Universe.   TODAY'S PRAYER: Lord, help me to be still and to wait patiently for you in silence.
