Seven Things God Hates Pt 2
Speaker: Brian Loughmiller
Sunday Evening 6/14/20 Seven Things God Hates, Pt, 2
Did you ever wonder why Solomon wrote, “six things … Yes, seven”? I always wondered why he didn’t just start off with seven. I wondered if God only hates six, what about the seventh abomination. But you cannot be that literal with figures of speech. The ancient way of writing a numerical proverb was as follows: first you select a number, then you connect it with a concept, then you add one for poetic effect. Why? I don’t know. Who decided that poetry was supposed to rhyme? Solomon chose six, connected it with “things the Lord hates” and then added one to make seven.

Seven Books More Loved Than The Bible
Speaker: Brian Loughmiller
What I have in my hands is God’s Holy inspired word. In it is revealed the righteousness of God from faith to faith, Rom. 1:17. In it is found wisdom for all ages. In its pages is found God’s scheme of redemption for mankind. It is a book that is annually a best seller and is loved by millions of people worldwide. 40 men wrote the scriptures over a period of approximately 1600 years and it has withstood the test of time. No other book can reveal to us the mind of Christ, I Cor. 2:16. No other book can give us a road map that leads to the gates of heaven.
To many people the thought that anything or any book could be loved or esteemed more highly is nothing short of blasphemy. However, it may be shocking to know that there are books and things of the world that are more loved than God’s word. People will give their allegiance to the Bible but their actions prove their allegiance is not in the word of God.
Amazing Grace 6 A Thief and a Cross
Speaker: Brian Loughmiller
The diversity seen in the people who came to Jesus should be encouraging to us. The educated and powerful came. So did the meek and lowly nobody’s. They all came with one similarity, spiritual emptiness! They asked questions that were answered. They made requests that were granted. Miracles were performed by the Son of God on behalf of some. Without exception every honest and obedient seeker’s request was honored by Jesus. They all experienced the grace of God.
There is a man who enters the final scene of Jesus’ life
He is only minutes away from dying. We know him as the: Thief on the Cross
Hunger & Thirst
Speaker: Brian Loughmiller
For what do you hunger and thirst? Are you hungry and thirsty for the food and water that endure to eternal life?
God reminds us that we often hunger for the wrong things. He is still calling upon us to seek Him and listen to Him; to desire Him and His word.

Change The World or Change Myself
Speaker: Brian Loughmiller
How many times have you heard, “You need to change the way you think?” As a Christian you are bombarded daily with this thought because if you don’t change you will be on the wrong side of history. Are we to change for the sake of change? Should we change because our current society/culture is changing? Or should there be a greater purpose behind our need to change?
Apollos A Man Fervent In Spirit
Speaker: Brian Loughmiller
There have been many influential men throughout the history of the world. Many of these people were powerful individuals who possessed an ability to draw people to themselves and influence them either in a positive or negative manner. Many of them hold this influence because of their idealism or they use the power of words to influence societies, nations, governments, or eve small groups of people.
I want to talk to you today about a man who influenced men for the sake of Jesus Christ. He is mentioned only briefly in the New Testament. He is not an obscure individual, neither is he prominent…
The Book of Ruth More Than A Love Story
Speaker: Brian Loughmiller
Have you ever asked, “Why is the book of Ruth in the bible?” It is a beautiful Hebrew short story.
In it is a story of the devotion of a Moabite widow named Ruth. It is a love story and a tragedy that has a fairy tale ending. And it is only 85 verses in length. However, the book is more than just a love story.
