And it begs the question: what would Jesus say if He wrote a letter to you today?
- [Conflict Resolution: What Not To Do](https://www.bufordcoc.com/conflict-resolution/) - Warning labels have become a necessity for most products that appear in the marketplace. Their necessity is prompted by the potential of lawsuits when such labels are not present. The fascinating thing about some warning labels is that they seem unnecessary when common sense is applied. For example, many chainsaws provide a label warning users

Right now, we are facing a crisis unlike

They beat Him, and they spat on Him. They slapped Him, and they plucked the hairs of His beard from His face. They put a crown of thorns on His head, and they whipped Him. They put a robe on His back and yelled, “Hail the King of the Jews.” They nailed Him to the cross, and they killed the Son of God. You know, a lot
- [The Immutability of God](https://www.bufordcoc.com/the-immutability-of-god/) - Last Tuesday was the first day of autumn. That means for the past couple of weeks, we have witnessed the changing of the seasons. Temperatures have cooled and leaves are beginning their color transformation.

- [“Behold your mother”](https://www.bufordcoc.com/behold-your-mother/) - While Jesus hung on the cross, we’re told that his mother, Mary, a few other women, and “the disciple whom he loved” were all standing nearby. Upon seeing them, “he said to his mother, ‘Woman, behold, your son!’ Then he said to the disciple, ‘Behold, your mother!’” (John 19:26-27). In this article, we explore why Jesus assigned the care of His mother to one of His disciples and what that teaches us.
- [Who should go?](https://www.bufordcoc.com/who-should-go/) - In Luke 15, Jesus provided a trilogy of parables known as the "lost" parables. These parables share a common plot.

- [What Is Hope?](https://www.bufordcoc.com/what-is-hope/) - There is a vast difference between the world’s definition of hope and the Bible’s definition of hope.

- [THE GREAT COMMISSION: PROCLAIM](https://www.bufordcoc.com/the-great-commission-proclaim/) - Before Jesus returned to heaven, He left an assignment for His followers.

Over the course of this month, we will examine one of these
- [THE GREAT COMMISSION: MAKE DISCIPLES](https://www.bufordcoc.com/great-commission-make-disciples/) - How many things can you make? I am fascinated by the ingenuity and creativity of individuals who make things because there is very little that I can make.

- [YOU MIGHT BE A HYPOCRITE IF…](https://www.bufordcoc.com/you-might-be-a-hypocrite-if/) - The term “hypocrite” originally referred to an actor who pretended to be something he was not.

- [FAITH AND DOUBTS (PART 3)](https://www.bufordcoc.com/faith-and-doubts-part3/) - Facing doubt is not a sin in and of itself.

This begs the question: how
- [PROBLEM SOLVER](https://www.bufordcoc.com/problem-solver-2/) - If you’re looking for baby names, how about these two beauties: Euodiaand Syntyche.

- [THE PATH TO GLORY – PART FIVE](https://www.bufordcoc.com/the-path-to-glory-part-five/) - So, you want to bring glory to God? Isn’t it a wonderful thought?

Having earlier spoken of the unity that Christians enjoy in the Lord (Ephesians
- [A PEOPLE NOT A PLACE](https://www.bufordcoc.com/a-people-not-a-place/) - Often times we confuse a brand for a product. For example, some people refer to facial tissue as Kleenex. It is true that Kleenex is a popular facial tissue brand; however, Kleenex is not the only facial tissue brand. Therefore, not all facial tissue is Kleenex. The same thing happens when some people refer to

- [FAITH AND DOUBTS (PART 2)](https://www.bufordcoc.com/faith-and-doubts-part2/) - At times, faith is difficult because it requires the unseen to be greater than the seen, and since faith can be difficult, the opportunity for doubt arises.

Imagine the following scenario: Something happens in our life that causes us to be afraid, but instead of doing nothing or reacting to
- [THE FEAR FACTOR - PART TWO](https://www.bufordcoc.com/the-fear-factor-part-two/) - Last week, we began a 3-part study on how to handle fear. We took a look at the “Frozen by Fear” approach and saw that it is an unwise and unbiblical way to deal with our fears. We simply can’t “do nothing” in most scary situations and still be pleasing to God. So let’s examine
- [THE FEAR FACTOR - PART ONE](https://www.bufordcoc.com/the-fear-factor-part-one/) - Have you ever been in a situation that scared you to the point that you didn’t know what to do or how to handle it? Have you ever allowed fear to control your decision-making? Have you ever wondered what to do when you are scared to do anything? Maybe some of these situations sound familiar: “I’ve
- [Dear Paul...](https://www.bufordcoc.com/dear-paul/) - Tucked into the back half of the New Testament is a one-chapter letter written by the apostle Paul. The letter is only 25 verses, and it is curiously unconcerned with presenting theological or doctrinal concepts, church instruction/correction, or a treatise on any specific issue. This letter was, in fact, written to one person: a Christian
- [THE ME IN BLASPHEMY](https://www.bufordcoc.com/the-me-in-blasphemy/) - In Colossians 3:8 Paul identified blasphemy as one of the sinful behaviors that Christians are to “put off.” It is identified in a list that included anger, wrath, malice, and filthy language. These latter behaviors are familiar to us, but blasphemy is a behavior that is somewhat foreign to our twenty-first century culture since the
- [Faith and Works](https://www.bufordcoc.com/faith-and-works2/) - Do you realize how often we give and receive contrasting pieces of wisdom? Several popular proverbs in our culture are diametrical. For example, some people say that "birds of a feather flock together," but others claim that "opposites attract." One saying contends that similarities bring people together, while the other alleges that differences bring people
- [How to Make Peace](https://www.bufordcoc.com/how-to-make-peace1/) - In Romans 12:18, Paul said, "If possible, so far as it depends on you, live peaceably with all." In issuing this statement, Paul made it clear that Christians are expected to be peacemakers. While peacemaking is a quality valued in the kingdom of heaven (Matthew 5:9), it is not a quality valued in the kingdoms
- [Have you been Chosen?](https://www.bufordcoc.com/have-you-been-chosen/) - Being chosen is a big deal. Think about when you were a kid, and teams were being picked at recess for a game. The one thing you did not want to be was the last one chosen because that meant nobody wanted you on his or her team. Think about when you got engaged. Whether
- [Prince of Peace](https://www.bufordcoc.com/prince-of-peace/) - Peace is not the easiest state to achieve. At times we find ourselves caught in stressful and even painful situations that rid us of hope, compassion, or maybe even faith, and the Bible indicates that one reason Jesus came to this earth was to provide peace. In Isaiah 9:6, we read, For to us a
- [Oblivious to Jesus](https://www.bufordcoc.com/oblivious-to-jesus/) - Jesus’ first resurrection appearance was to Mary Magdalene, but she initially didn’t even recognize Him. Why would somebody who was present for the crucifixion and burial of Jesus and a witness to the pronouncement of the angels that He was alive be oblivious to Him when He appeared?
- [Would God Choose You?](https://www.bufordcoc.com/would-god-choose-you/) - Everyone wants to be chosen. Do you remember in elementary school when kickball teams were selected at recess? Likely, your primary concern was not to be chosen last because being chosen last essentially meant nobody wanted you on their team. Do you remember when the high school prom rolled around? Whether you were waiting to
- [The Blessing of Freedom](https://www.bufordcoc.com/the-blessing-of-freedom2/) - Today is Independence Day in the United States. It is a day that commemorates the signing of the Declaration of Independence by the Continental Congress, which declared that the thirteen original colonies were free of the rule of Great Britain. Thus, Independence Day is a day on which we celebrate our national freedom. And since
- [Idol Talk](https://www.bufordcoc.com/idol-talk/) - One of the most prevalent teachings in the New Testament is the teaching against idolatry. Idolatry is condemned as a work of the flesh (Galatians 5:20), an activity that elicits the wrath of God (Colossians 3:5-6), an activity that will prevent one from inheriting the kingdom of God (1 Corinthians 6:9), and an activity that
- [Don’t Get Comfortable](https://www.bufordcoc.com/dont-get-comfortable/) - A comfort zone "is a psychological state in which things feel familiar to a person," resulting in "experiencing low levels of anxiety and stress" because "they are at ease and in control of their environment."1 And while that sounds like the optimal place to be, comfort zones can actually become danger zones because they can
- [No More Excuses](https://www.bufordcoc.com/no-more-excuses2/) - When Moses' name is mentioned, most of us likely think of a heroic, faithful leader. But that is not the Moses to which we are initially introduced. In Exodus 3:10, we learn that God met Moses at the burning bush and informed him that He would use him to free the children of Israel. You
- [Faith Over Fear](https://www.bufordcoc.com/faith-over-fear/) - In October 1957, the Soviet Union launched a spacecraft called Sputnik 1, which became the first artificial satellite to orbit the Earth. Sputnik 1 was a small satellite by modern standards. It was approximately the size of a beach ball but weighed 183.9 pounds. Additionally, Sputnik 1 was a simple satellite. Its only function was to transmit radio signals. And Sputnik
- [A Christian Home](https://www.bufordcoc.com/a-christian-home2021/) - I once heard the story about a little boy who was inconsolably crying in the car after leaving worship services one Sunday. His father asked him three times what was wrong, and, finally, the boy replied, “The preacher said he wanted me to be brought up in a Christian home, but I want to stay
- [Life Changing Words](https://www.bufordcoc.com/life-changing-words/) - We often use the phrase “life-changing experience” pretty loosely. But there are experiences that change who we are and the course our life is going to take. Jesus should be one of them….
- [Doers of the Word](https://www.bufordcoc.com/doers-of-the-word/) - In today's society, the term "Christian" often gets used as an adjective. You will hear people refer to a particular genre of music as Christian music. You can drive across town and shop at the Christian store for Christian books. You can enroll at a Christian school, attend a Christian conference, or even worship at
- [God So Loved the World](https://www.bufordcoc.com/god-so-loved-the-world2/) - In one of, if not the most popular passages of Scripture, we are told, "God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life.” What specifically do we learn about God's love from John 3:16? First, we learn who God loves. John
- [What If Jesus Wrote a Letter to Us?](https://www.bufordcoc.com/what-if-jesus-wrote-a-letter/) - In Revelation's second and third chapters, Jesus authored letters to seven different churches in first-century Asia Minor. In each letter, Jesus declares, "I know your works" (2:2; 2:9; 2:13; 2:19; 3:1; 3:8; 3:15). This repeated statement indicates that Jesus is not oblivious to what is going on in each congregation of His church. He is
- [The Embarrassment Saving Miracle](https://www.bufordcoc.com/the-embarrassment-saving-miracle/) - Throughout His ministry, Jesus performed many miracles. Some provided life-saving remedies for incurable medical conditions, some rescued people from the crippling bondage of demon possession, and some brought loved ones back from the dead. But His very first miracle was not as dire or complex as any of these. Why, then, is it so significant?
- [The Christian and the Environment](https://www.bufordcoc.com/the-christian-and-the-environment/) - Since 1970, April 22 has been observed as Earth Day, a day to demonstrate support for environmental protection. Such a day causes me to consider whether or not we as Christians possess a biblical responsibility to protect the environment. And I believe the following four biblical considerations are worth mentioning on this matter. First, Christians
- [Jesus Is Our Heat Shield](https://www.bufordcoc.com/jesus-is-our-heat-shield/) - Most professions and organizations have their own jargon, which is a fancy word for unique and specialized terms accepted and understood within a particular field or group. For example, you may hear a lawyer say, "Objection," while a judge responds, "Overruled." That is legal jargon. Maybe you've heard a medical professional say, "Let's check your
- [The Wise Foundation](https://www.bufordcoc.com/the-wise-foundation/) - The tallest building in the world since 2009 is the Burj Khalifa in Dubai. It stands at 2722 feet tall. That's over half a mile in height! It has 160 floors and is twice as tall as the Empire State Building in New York City. That is an incredibly tall building. How is it possible
- [Dinner Time Christianity](https://www.bufordcoc.com/dinner-time-christianity/) - “Do you have a dinner-time Christianity?” It might come as a surprise, but dinner time is not always a joyful experience at my house.

A rookie police officer who is also at the scene approaches
- [Blessed Are The Meek](https://www.bufordcoc.com/blessed-are-the-meek/) - I believe that none of the Beatitudes are less appealing to our culture than the third in which Jesus said, “Blessed are the meek, for they shall inherit the earth” (Matthew 5:5). In 1989, Nike produced a print advertisement for their Air Force One shoe line featuring future NBA Hall of Famer Charles Barkley. The
- [Zebras, Fish, Ticks, & Dogs](https://www.bufordcoc.com/zebras-fish-ticks-dogs/) - Here is just a small sampling of the more than fifty “one another” statements which the Spirit addresses to the church in the New Testament: “love one another”, “welcome one another”, “pray for one another”, “bear one another’s burdens”, “forgiving one another”, “be kind to one another”, “bearing with one another”, “submitting to one another”,
- [Baggage Check](https://www.bufordcoc.com/baggage-check/) - Has an airline company ever lost your luggage while you were traveling? I believe there are few more frustrating experiences in this life than traveling a long distance from home only to arrive in that location and not have any of your stuff. The possibility of our luggage being lost is why many of us
- [O Jerusalem Jerusalem](https://www.bufordcoc.com/o-jerusalem-jerusalem/) - In a span of three chapters - Matthew 21-23 - we encounter a fascinating collection of Jesus’s personality and character traits. He first rides into Jerusalem like aristocracy on “Palm Sunday” (21:1-11). Quickly transitioning from king to combatant, He then rushes the temple and takes no prisoners with his homemade whip (21:12-17). The next morning,
- [Prisoner Exchange](https://www.bufordcoc.com/prisoner-exchange/) - On Thursday, December 8, 2022, the United States government completed a prisoner swap with Russia to secure the release of one of our nation’s premiere female athletes.

- [Emergency Alert](https://www.bufordcoc.com/emergency-alert-2023/) - On Saturday, January 13, 2018, around 8:10 AM, residents and visitors of the state of Hawaii errantly received an emergency alert notification on their mobile phones which read, “BALLISTIC MISSILE THREAT INBOUND TO HAWAII. SEEK IMMEDIATE SHELTER. THIS IS NOT A DRILL.” Thirty-eight minutes later a follow-up message, canceling the original message, was finally sent
- [Declining The Invitation](https://www.bufordcoc.com/declining-the-invitation/) - In Luke 14:16-24, an invitation to a super-awesome banquet has gone out to many. This likely represents the “calling” of God - the Lord inviting others to share in His kingdom (fellowship with Him, eternal glory, an eternal inheritance, eternal life) while, at the same time, summoning them to partake in His holiness and to
- [Forgetting & Remembering](https://www.bufordcoc.com/forgetting-and-remembering/) - Two chapters in the first book of the Bible (Genesis 40-41) present an enlightening quartet of lessons on remembrance and forgetfulness.

- [Are You Being Persecuted?](https://www.bufordcoc.com/are-you-being-persecuted/) - In 2 Timothy 3:12, Paul declared that “all who desire to live a godly life will be persecuted.” He didn’t say, “all who desire to live a godly life can be persecuted” or “all who desire to live a godly life may be persecuted.” He said, “all who desire to live a godly life will
- [David’s Mighty Men](https://www.bufordcoc.com/davids-mighty-men/) - “David’s Mighty Men” are real-life superheroes, and their true stories - the kind of stuff typically relegated to mere legend - can be found in both II Samuel 23 and I Chronicles 11-12. For example, Jashobeam killed hundreds of men with a spear at one time. When everyone else ran away, Eleazar struck down the
- [A GENTLE ATTITUDE](https://www.bufordcoc.com/a-gentle-attitude2/) - In aeronautic terminology, “attitude” refers to the angle of an aircraft in regard to a reference point such as the horizon. It encompasses the yaw (i.e., the left-to-right movement of an aircraft in relation to its vertical axis), pitch (i.e., the up or down tilt of the aircraft’s nose in relation to its side-to-side axis),
- [Jesus Is The Truth](https://www.bufordcoc.com/jesus-is-the-truth/) - Does truth matter to you? That almost seems like a foolish question because the answer is most likely a resounding YES!

- [Take Hold Of Life](https://www.bufordcoc.com/take-hold-of-life/) - Near the conclusion of Indiana Jones' third cinematic adventure, the titular character tries to maintain his grip on one of Elsa's hands to keep her from falling to her doom in the abyss below.

- [Divine Detours](https://www.bufordcoc.com/divine-detours/) - When you are traveling in unfamiliar territory, and you come across a detour, it feels like a tremendous setback.

- [What Does God See When He Looks At Me?](https://www.bufordcoc.com/what-does-god-see-when-he-looks-at-me2/) - The Bible repeatedly refers to God as an all-seeing entity (Job 28:24; Proverbs 15:3; Hebrews 4:13). His ability to see all led Hagar to dub Him El-Roi In Genesis 16:13, which means “the-God-Who-Sees." Since He is "the-God-who-sees," what does He see when He looks at me? Many answers could be given to this question. One might say,

- [Hard to Follow](https://www.bufordcoc.com/hard-to-follow/) - One of the great fallacies of discipleship is that once you become a follower of Jesus life gets easier. That’s just not true. Nowhere in the Bible are we promised that following Christ makes life easier. In fact, the Bible indicates that the exact opposite is true. Just consider what Jesus said in Matthew
- [Worshiping with Joy](https://www.bufordcoc.com/worshiping-with-joy/) - What brings you joy? For some, it may be time on a vacation.

But how does it apply to discipleship?
- [Who Is Jesus?](https://www.bufordcoc.com/who-is-jesus/) - Jesus asked His disciples the most important question man will ever answer. He asked, “Who do you say that I am?” This question only has one right answer, which means that it matters who we say Jesus is. But do we really know who Jesus is? It may help to consider all the names, titles, and descriptions associated with Jesus throughout the Bible.
- [Just Like Pluto](https://www.bufordcoc.com/just-like-pluto-2/) - For 76 years, Pluto was a planet. Then one day back in 2006, it wasn’t.

User-generated content has While genealogical research is growing in popularity today, it has always been popular in the Jewish culture.

- [You Are Sealed](https://www.bufordcoc.com/sermons/you-are-sealed/) - Sometimes you receive a gift that you don’t quite understand how to use and sometimes you receive a gift that you intentionally or unintentionally abuse. One blessing that Paul identifies in Ephesians 1:13-14 that might qualify as such a gift is the Holy Spirit with whom he says believers “were sealed.” How are believers sealed
- [You Are Free](https://www.bufordcoc.com/sermons/you-are-free/) - One of our “in Christ" blessings that can be easily overlooked is our freedom. When we think about freedom, we tend to think about our freedom to worship without the threat of interference or persecution. While that is a great freedom in this country it is not a blessing promised to Christians in Scripture. The
- [You Are Destined](https://www.bufordcoc.com/sermons/you-are-destined/) - Predestination is a controversial subject even though it is a biblical subject. Paul said in Ephesians 1:5 that God “predestined us for adoption.” What does that mean? Does it mean that God has predetermined our eternal state or does it mean something else? Predestination is identified as one of our spiritual blessings, so should we
- [You Are Heard](https://www.bufordcoc.com/sermons/you-are-heard/) - Scripture repeatedly presents prayer as a privilege (Matthew 7:7-8; Philippians 4:6; James 5:16; 1 John 5:14-15) and an expectation (Matthew 6:5-7; Ephesians 6:18; Colossians 4:2; 1 Thessalonians 5:17), and, yet, it is so easy for us to neglect prayer. Why is prayer such a big deal? More importantly, why should we view prayer as a
- [You Are Chosen](https://www.bufordcoc.com/sermons/you-are-chosen/) - Paul says in Ephesians 1:3 that God “has blessed us in Christ with every spiritual blessing.” What do those spiritual blessings include? One spiritual blessing is that God “chose us.” Being chosen is the result of somebody intentionally setting their affection on you, and the Bible presents God’s love as something that was intentionally set
- [Kingdom Come](https://www.bufordcoc.com/sermons/kingdom-come/) - This lesson is a part of our 2017 Summer Series: The King & HIS Kingdom
- [I am a Bride](https://www.bufordcoc.com/sermons/i-am-a-bride/) - Throughout the Bible, the language of marriage is used to describe the relationship between God and His people. In the Old Testament, the nation of Israel was metaphorically identified as God’s bride or wife (Isaiah 54:6; Jeremiah 2:2; 3:20; Ezekiel 16:8). In the New Testament, the church is metaphorically referred to as Christ’s bride or
- [I am a Friend](https://www.bufordcoc.com/sermons/i-am-a-friend/) - It may be difficult for us to wrap our minds around the concept that we can be called “Friends of God.” That description may sound a little too casual or irreverent. But that is exactly the title Jesus gave to us in John 15:14 when He said, “You are my friends if you do what
- [I am a Witness](https://www.bufordcoc.com/sermons/i-am-a-witness/) - Just before His ascension Jesus told His disciples that “you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth” (Acts 1:8). A witness is an individual who can testify on behalf of another. For the Apostles such an identity made since because they witnessed the
- [I am a Servant](https://www.bufordcoc.com/sermons/i-am-a-servant/) - The identity of a servant was the most prevalent identity adopted by the New Testament authors (Romans 1:1; Philippians 1:1; Titus 1:1; James 1:1; 2 Peter 1:1; Jude 1:1; Revelation 1:1). In fact, Paul and Peter prioritized the title of “servant” above the title of “apostle!” Since servanthood was so prominent among first century Christians
- [I am an Alien](https://www.bufordcoc.com/sermons/i-am-an-alien/) - In 1 Peter 2:11-12, Peter wrote, “Beloved, I urge you as aliens and strangers to abstain from fleshly lusts which wage war against the soul.” The author of Hebrews identified the heroes of faith as “strangers and exiles on the earth” (Hebrews 11:13). Why was this identity attributed to God’s elect, what do we learn
- [I am a Priest](https://www.bufordcoc.com/sermons/i-am-a-priest/) - Peter indicated that Christians “are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for [God’s] own possession, that you may proclaim the excellencies of him who called you out of darkness into his marvelous light” (1 Peter 2:9). In similar fashion, John said that Jesus “made [the church] a kingdom, priests to
- [I am a Child](https://www.bufordcoc.com/sermons/i-am-a-child/) - Throughout the New Testament, God is consistently referred to as “Father” (Matthew 5:48; 6:1-15; 7:11; John 4:23; 14:2-3; 1 Corinthians 8:5-6; Galatians 1:3-4; Ephesians 4:6; Colossians 3:17), and we are consistently referred to as “children,” “sons,” and “heirs” (Matthew 18:3-4; John 1:12-13; Romans 8:14-17; Galatians 3:24-29; 4:1-7; Ephesians 1:3-5; 5:1; Philippians 2:14-15; Hebrews 12:5-11; 1
- [Greater Than Death](https://www.bufordcoc.com/sermons/greater-than-death/) - The Greek term from which we get the word “gospel” means “good news.” What constitutes the “good news”? Paul indicated that the “gospel” he preached consisted of the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus, but he seemed to give greater importance to the resurrection by spending more time talking about it (1 Corinthians 15:1-8; Acts
- [Greater Than Me](https://www.bufordcoc.com/sermons/greater-than-me/) - Jesus made it very clear that in order for someone to be his disciple he or she must be willing to "deny himself [or herself]" (Matthew 16:24). Why? Because if God is the Greater Than then I must be willing to confess that I am not. This might be the most difficult greater than status
- [Greater Than My Future](https://www.bufordcoc.com/sermons/greater-than-my-future/) - According to Isaiah 46:9-10, God is the only One who is able to “[declare] the end from the beginning and from ancient times things not yet done.” Thus, God is the only One who is greater than the future, and how we approach the future demonstrates whether or not we believe this. If you believe
- [Greater Than My Past](https://www.bufordcoc.com/sermons/greater-than-my-past/) - The past can be filled with great memories, but the past can also be filled with burdensome baggage. As one preacher said, “Few types of bondage are greater than the prison of the past.” We may be bound by a wound that was inflicted on us by another person that we cannot forgive, or we

That is why I made haste to flee to Tarshish; for I knew that you are a gracious God and merciful, slow to
- [Turn Around](https://www.bufordcoc.com/sermons/turn-around/) - 1Then the word of the LORD came to Jonah the second time, saying, 2“Arise, go to Nineveh, that great city, and call out against it the message that I tell you.” 3So Jonah arose and went to Nineveh, according to the word of the LORD. Now Nineveh was an exceedingly great city, three days’ journey
- [HOMEWARD - Security Threat](https://www.bufordcoc.com/sermons/security-threat/) - 1While Israel lived in Shittim, the people began to whore with the daughters of Moab. 2These invited the people to the sacrifices of their gods, and the people ate and bowed down to their gods. 3So Israel yoked himself to Baal of Peor. And the anger of the LORD was kindled against Israel. 4And the LORD said to Moses, “Take all the
- [Greater Than My Doubts](https://www.bufordcoc.com/sermons/greater-than-my-doubts/) - The Bible defines faith as “the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen” (Hebrews 11:1). In other words, faith is deciding that what is unseen is greater than what is seen. But subscribing to such a mentality is easier said than done. More often than not, we sympathize with the father

- [Greater Than the Impossible](https://www.bufordcoc.com/sermons/greater-than-the-impossible/) - In the model prayer, Jesus began with the words, “Our Father in heaven” (Matthew 6:9). Why did Jesus feel the need to teach us to acknowledge the Father’s location in our prayers? Maybe He did so to remind us that God does not abide in this world, and, as a result, He is not bound
- [Greater Than Evil](https://www.bufordcoc.com/sermons/greater-than-evil/) - One of the greatest philosophical challenges to faith is the presence of suffering and evil in this world. In other words, if God is good then why does He allow evil to persist? The problem with such a question is that presumes that God owes mankind an explanation for His perceived activity or inactivity. As
- [Greater Than All Gods](https://www.bufordcoc.com/sermons/greater-than-all-gods/) - Scripture routinely identifies God as greater than all other gods. For example, after hearing of God’s providential care for the Israelites, Moses’ father-in-law proclaimed, “Now I know that the Lord is greater than all gods” (Exodus 18:11). At the dedication of the temple, Solomon announced, “The house that I am to build will be great,
