In the year King Uzziah died, Isaiah went to the "Sight and Sound" theatre of God's throne room. In that holy place all of his senses were immersed in the presence of God. Isaiah was transformed by this experience and prepared for greater service for His King. Oh believers, may God so immerse us in His presence that we say with Isaiah, "Here am I! Send me!"

This sermon is a reflection of God's kindness. As we know God rains on the just and the3 unjust. On the other hand as we reflect on God's kindness do we ourselves show true Christian kindness? The Bible tells us we never know when we may encounter Angels unawares. This sermon hopefully will challenge all of us to reflect on how precise, down to the finest detail of how God displays His kindness for which we do not deserve. I pray this sermon illuminates our heart to show kindness to others as our Lord Jesus Christ has shown for us. The Bible tells us that "Eye has not seen and ear has not heard neither have entered into the heart of man all the things which God has prepared for those who love Him". Amen Genesis 18: 1-21 3rd John 5-5 Hebrews 13: 1-6

The sermon explores the vital necessity of discerning God's will for believers, emphasizing that this ability is rooted in specific spiritual preparations. It highlights three key steps: the consecration of one's entire being as a living sacrifice, the repudiation of worldly conformity, and the continuous transformation of the mind through truth. The preacher argues that true holiness requires mortifying the deeds of the body and rejecting the transient patterns of the world to remain sensitive to the Holy Spirit. By aligning personal desires with Christ's example, Christians can move beyond mere curiosity about God's will to a sincere commitment to obey it. Ultimately, the message asserts that knowing and doing God's will is the defining mark of a genuine child of God.

The sermon uses Psalm 95 to prepare the congregation for an upcoming church meeting by issuing a call to worship and spiritual readiness. It emphasizes six key actions: singing God's praises, consecrating oneself through worship, hearing His voice without hardening the heart, receiving others with humility, serving joyfully, and ministering to those in need. The preacher highlights that communal gathering is a vital means of spiritual formation and divine power, drawing on personal memories of past meetings where God's presence was manifest. The message urges believers to view the upcoming event not as a disruption, but as an opportunity to deepen their faith and support one another in Christ. Ultimately, the goal is to align hearts with God's greatness and to pursue the fullness of Christ together.

And David said, What have I now done? **Is there not a cause?** (1 Samuel 17:29) *The cause was: -* *1/ To bring deliverance to Israel. 2/ To bring David to the throne of Israel. 3/ To provide a type of the victory of David's greater Son, Jesus Christ. 4/ To shew for generations to come that there is a cause for all that God does.* **Sermon Summary:** This sermon examines the account of David and Goliath to reveal God's sovereign purpose behind seemingly chaotic events. The preacher argues that every divine action has a specific cause, whether for deliverance, preparation, or typology pointing to Christ. Key themes include the necessity of faith over human strength and the assurance that God orchestrates delays and trials for His glory. The text serves as a reminder that believers can trust in God's hidden plans even when circumstances are perplexing. Ultimately, the message encourages reliance on Jesus Christ as the ultimate victor over sin and death.

This sermon examines the global flood narrative in Genesis 7, emphasizing its dual nature as an account of divine judgment and salvation. The preacher highlights the comprehensive destruction of all life on dry land as the deserved consequence of human sin, contrasting this with God's sovereign power over life and death. By connecting the unpreparedness of Noah's contemporaries to Matthew 24, the message warns modern listeners against spiritual complacency in the face of impending judgment.

The epistle of 2 Corinthians is themed on the comfort of God that then draws us unto obedience and sanctification. In our time together we summarize this theme in preparation for our study of the epistle.
