God Is All-Wise, Part 1

Scripture:

Speaker: Pastor Miguel Betancourt II

Series: Behold Your God!

Synopsis: What makes God's wisdom so impressive so as to call forth our full trust, confidence, and devotion? What is it about God's wisdom that delivers peace of mind and stability of life in the midst of adversity? This morning's message looks at the first of three truths that answer those questions.

God Is Majestic

Scripture:

Speaker: Pastor Miguel Betancourt II

Series: Behold Your God!

Synopsis: When consistently applied to either God or Jesus Christ in either the Old Testament or New Testament, "majesty" is a declaration of two things: 1) God's superiority, regal dignity and greatness, 2) A necessary, consequent response from man--either to bless and worship Him in the acknowledgement of that majesty or to tremble in fear because of it! Our text tonight helps reject the wrong thoughts we have that place limitations on God that make Him appear small in our eyes or that rob Him of His glory--i.e. the many splendid excellencies of His perfections. Isaiah will use one aspect of creation as a point of comparison and as an illustration of the bigness of our God. Then he will fire three thought provoking questions designed to stir us to think correctly of His majesty.

God's Majestic Knowledge

Scripture:

Speaker: Pastor Miguel Betancourt II

Series: Behold Your God!

Synopsis: No man ever rises higher than his view of God and no church is ever greater than its concept of God! One aspect of God's nature that He has revealed about Himself is His majesty. He is a majestic God! Psalm 139 is a beautiful and classic meditation upon one aspect of God's infinite, majestic nature--His amazing knowledge--especially as it relates to His people! If we are to form the right idea of God's greatness so that with the eye of faith we see His majesty very clearly, we must reject the limitations we place on God in our minds that make Him appear so small to us! He has not lost control of our lives nor of the circumstances of our lives! Psalm 139 will help us with this. In the face of God's extensive and intensive knowledge of us, may we like the Psalmist open our hearts to Him and extend an open invitation to Him to search our hearts and expose wrong thinking, wrong beliefs, wrong attitudes and actions so they can be repented of and replaced with God's truth!

Encouragement to Trust God

Scripture:

Speaker: Pastor Miguel Betancourt II

God's Faithfulness

Scripture:

Speaker: Pastor Miguel Betancourt II

Series: Behold Your God!

Synopsis: As we continue our study in the nature of our God, we come today to a text that declares a characteristic of God that holds monumental significance and is designed to not only fuel our faith but our faithfulness to Him as we obey Him and His truth.

The Unchanging God, Part 2

Scripture:

Speaker: Pastor Miguel Betancourt II

Series: Behold Your God!

Synopsis: Whenever we are making a purchase of something that is substantial, we want to know what kind of warranty that item carries. Whenever we contract with a vendor to provide a service, we want a guarantee of His quality of work in the form of a warranty. As we return to Malachi 3:6, tonight we want to answer this question: What guarantees that God does not change and cannot change?

The Unchanging God, Part 1

Scripture:

Speaker: Pastor Miguel Betancourt II

Series: Behold Your God!

Synopsis: The Greek philosopher Heraclitus once declared, “The only thing constant is change.” Although his statement may be a true observation about things in the created order, thankfully it's not true about God! Our text today is one of the clearest statements of one of our God’s unshared characteristics: His unchangeableness. What impact does the truth of God’s unchanging nature have on our thinking, living, and on our interpretation of the circumstances of life?

An Unfailing GPS

Scripture:

Speaker: Pastor Miguel Betancourt II

Synopsis: One of the fascinating tools of modern technology is the GPS capability many of us enjoy. Though at times we may find it unreliable or disappointing, we can still think of it as "guidance from above." Psalm 32 speaks of another kind of guidance from above that is just as real, more fascinating and always reliable. We can enjoy the goodness of God's providential care as we look to him for guidance each day. From our text tonight, I want us to see three encouraging truths about this unique and divine "Guidance from Above"-- An Unfailing GPS.

What is a God-confidence?

Scripture:

Speaker: Pastor Miguel Betancourt II

Synopsis: What does it mean to live with a God-confidence? What does that really look like in life? Most vital to our spiritual well-being and to expressing the biblical trait of endurance is that each born-again believer learn from the Apostle Paul what it means to totally trust Him and then apply that understanding to life. In tonight's text, let's note five components of a God-confidence that helps us understand what that looks like in life and what is involved.

Evil Angels: Their Leader and Destiny

Scripture:

Speaker: Pastor Miguel Betancourt II

Series: Angels

Synopsis: Although he is only mentioned in four of the thirty-nine Old Testament books and twelve of the New Testament books, we are not to deduce that he an insignificant being. He is a real personality, not an inanimate force, with different names. The various names or titles of the leader of evil angels either express a quality of his character, a method of operation, or both. He uses a variety of schemes/methods to accomplish his purposes. Believers needs to be aware of this enemy for their own spiritual good.
