The Omniscient GOD

How Thorns Produce Testimonies

Why does God sometimes say "no" to our prayers? In 2 Corinthians 12:7-10, Paul reveals that when God says "no" to our request, He says "yes" to meeting our deepest need. After receiving an extraordinary heavenly experience, Paul was given a thorn in the flesh to keep him humble and dependent on Christ. Though he pleaded three times for its removal, God responded with something greater — sufficient grace and perfected strength in weakness. Pastor examines how God uses suffering to produce an elevated perspective, exalting praise, an experienced presence of Christ, and an enabling purpose. Every testimony begins with a thorn — trust God to turn yours into a testimony of His glory.

America And The Last Days

Will America see another 250 years? While no one knows God's timetable, Scripture holds insights about the future of the nations. In Job 12:23, the Bible reveals that God alone increases nations, destroys them, enlarges them, and constricts them. Based upon end-time prophecy, America is not mentioned among the nations that play a role in last-days events. So what will happen to the world's current superpower? Pastor Marc Williamson examines six biblical possibilities for America's decline, including moral collapse, military attack, assimilation into the Antichrist's alliance, natural disasters, turning against Israel, and the Rapture of the church. Through it all, we are reminded that our greatest need is not political but spiritual. Key Verse: "He increaseth the nations, and destroyeth them: he enlargeth the nations, and straiteneth them again." - Job 12:23 (KJV)

The Omniscient GOD

One of the great attributes of our God is His omniscience. He is all-knowing. There is absolutely nothing that God does not know, will forget, or will ever discover. He knows all things innately, eternally, and comprehensively. In this message from Psalm 139 and Isaiah 40, Pastor Marc Williamson explores the nature of God's knowledge and what it means to us personally. God's knowledge is intuitive (He depends on no one for information), comprehensive (He knows every possible outcome), and personal (He knows us better than we know ourselves). Understanding God's omniscience should move us to repentance, honesty, rest in Christ, obedience, trust in suffering, and rejoicing that He never stops thinking of us.

Holy Means Holy

There are some things in life where good intentions are not enough. In 2 Samuel 6, David desired to bring the Ark of the Covenant back to Jerusalem to restore God's worship to the center of the nation. His intentions were good, but he went about it the wrong way, following the methods of the Philistines rather than God's Word. When Uzzah reached out to steady the Ark, God struck him down for violating His clear command. In this third part of our series on Encountering God, Pastor Marc Williamson examines how a carnal perspective, a careless presumption, and finally a corrected perception of God's holiness shaped one of the most sobering events in Scripture. God's service and work must be done God's way if it is to see God's blessing.

America At 250

250 years ago, a courageous declaration from the 13 American colonies announced that our human liberties and rights come not from governments or kings, but from our Creator. As America celebrates this milestone, it is fitting to give God thanks for His blessings and to honor those who sacrificed to preserve our freedoms. But this anniversary is also a time for honest reflection. While America has grown stronger economically and militarily, it has weakened spiritually. Pastor Marc Williamson examines the historical evidence that America was founded upon Christianity, traces how that foundation has been systematically dismantled, and confronts the devastating moral consequences our nation is reaping. Our nation's greatest need is not political but spiritual, and its future relies on repentance and a return to the Lord Jesus Christ.
