The Attributes of God: He is Holy
This week, as we continue in our series on the attributes of God, we have come to the holiness of God. Below are several questions to consider.
- What attribute would most people today is God’s defining attribute?
- Could you make the case that holiness may be the most comprehensive and important of God’s attributes?
- What is the normal reaction of people to the holiness of God?
- Is holiness a communicable attribute of God?
- Are there things you can do to acquire holiness?
The Attributes of God: God’s Power
Most people will agree in general that God is omnipotent (all-powerful). It is when we get more particular that questions and differences arise.
Is God so powerful that He can created a rock He can’t lift? If not, why not? Does God control calamities and evil events? If so, how can He be good? Does God control who is saved and lost? If so, how can He be fair? Which of all God’s works most gloriously displays His power? How does God’s power bring us joy and comfort?

The Attributes of God: God’s Infinity
What do you need when you are overwhelmed by trouble? A sympathetic hug? A pleasurable distraction? A change in circumstances?
I believe that there is nothing more helpful than doctrine, especially the doctrine of God! It is as we know Him and draw near to Him that our souls are quieted and hope is restored. This week we will resume our series on the attributes of God as we begin to consider God’s infinity.
He is infinite in reference to time because He is eternal. He is infinite with reference to space because He is omnipresent. He is also infinite in knowledge: omniscient. His knowledge is not only extensive, but He is also perfectly wise: choosing the best possible means to the best possible end. How amazing that such a God regards and even loves us. Let us gather with joy to praise Him.

Consecrated to God
This week I am diverting from our studies in 2 Samuel and will be expounding Romans 12:1-2.
I plan, on certain Sundays over the next few months, to preach through Romans 12 with a special emphasis on our love and devotion for one another in the body of Christ.
Because our love for one another springs from our devotion to the Lord, Paul starts Romans 12 by exhorting us to be living sacrifices who are not to be conformed to the world.
Of course the foundation of our devotion to the Lord is the sovereign mercy which He has shown us in Christ — which was the subject of the first 11 chapters of Romans and forms the basis of Paul’s exhortation in Romans 12:1.
Portrait of a Godless Culture: An Appeal to Repent of Sinful Boasting
We will be doing a fairly rapid overview of the first nine chapters and then drawing some application from near the end of chapter nine, where Jeremiah writes, “Thus says the LORD, “Let not a wise man boast of his wisdom, and let not the mighty man boast of his might, let not a rich man boast of his riches, but let him who boasts boast of this, that he understands and knows Me, that I am the LORD who exercises loving kindness, justice and righteousness on earth; for I delight in these things,” declares the LORD.” (9:23-24).
Jeremiah’s theme leading to these texts is that of judgment: A judgment precipitated by the sinful lifestyle and arrogant living of the kingdom of Judah. The modern day parallels to our own day are truly amazing: Truly there is “nothing new under the sun.”
