How Are You Living II
Text: Colossians 3:5-11 We often think we can control our sin. We may think that we have them all under control, but eventually they will control us. We have laws based on sin, but only some sin. The Bible tells us that if we are dead in Christ, then we are dead to sin. We must put to death the evil desires of our heart. We cannot afford to entertain those desires. God wants us to be connected to Him.…
How Are You Living
Text: Colossians 3:1-4 There is a life that goes along with claiming Jesus as Savior, that we must live. We must be serious about living the christian life. We are risen with Christ and dead to sin. Therefore, we must think of things above, not the things of the world. Anything that doesn’t glorify God and lift Him up is worldly. Know what you have and grab hold of it. We have an identity in Christ. When that happens, we…
Being Thankful For Freedom
Text: John 8:31-36 There are some who have been set free from bondage, yet refuse to move on. They don’t know how. We must abide in Christ, which means to trust God and what He wants for us. . .then freedom will come. Let go of all of what YOU want and walk with God. A life of consistancy in Christ is what is needed. We have to know the Truth, understand the Truth, and accept the Truth in order…
Mercy For Today
Text: Lamentations 3:17-24 When your heart is overwhelmed, how do you handle it? Do you even know how to handle it? What do you do when you don’t know how to get over the pain? Where is God in the midst of all of this?It’s ok to cry out to God and tell Him what you’re going through and how you truly feel. It’s good to get to a point where all you can do is look up. Humble yourself.…
Why We Need Grace
Text: Romans 3:23 & 24 Do we really understand what God’s grace is? Grace comes alive to us when we realize how much we need it and that we need to humble ourselves to receive it. We are all in need of God’s grace. Have you ever said, “There’s no hope!” “I quit!” “I give up!” Then, this message is for you. . .God’s grace is sufficient!
Faith
Text: Hebrews 11:1 We need faith in order to endure and serve the Lord. Faith is not positive thinking. Faith has to include “God’s will be done.” Faith is not wishful thinking. Faith has an object. Faith is believing in one God. We take God at His Word and obey it no matter what the circumstance. Faith is moving ourselves out of the way and trusting God and His Word. In order for us to stand on the things of…
A Call To Maturity
Text: Hebrews 5:11-14 Many of us are “stuck” in our spiritual life and God wants us to go deeper. Our growth in Christ not only depends on the Pastor. . .it also depends on us! It’s up to us to move forward and not become sluggish and slow in the things of God. When the “dull of hearing” kicks in, the drifting begins. We don’t want to be challenged in our sin. We don’t want to be told about the…
We Can Go To Jesus
Text: Hebrews 4:14-16 Isn’t it amazing when hard times come, how we often forget what we have in Christ? No matter how overwhelming the situation, NEVER forget what we have in Jesus! Jesus is our High Priest. Jesus is in heaven right now, praying for us. Why? Because we have an accuser called satan. But, Jesus paid the price for our sin. Jesus, our Mediator! Jesus, our Intercessor! Jesus, our Defense Lawyer! Jesus is the One who connects us back…
Pay Attention
Text: Hebrews 2:1-4 Have any of you felt like you were drifting away? Your mind starts wondering? God wants us to pay attention and not drift away. He wants us to not be hearers only, but doers of His Word. The things of this world can slowly make us drift away from God. When we let our spiritual lives unattended, we begin to drift. The Word of God, prayer, and church attendance beome irrelevant in our lives. It’s gradual, but…
Jesus Is Simply Better
Text: Hebrews 1:1-4 There are things going on, distractions of the world, that are taking our eyes off what’s really important. . .Jesus! When tradition, religion, and good works take the place of a relationship with Jesus, there’s a problem. Some may think Jesus is a prophet, but the truth is, Jesus is God! It is only through Jesus that we see God. Jesus was the first that existed. Jesus was the agent used for all creation. Jesus is the…
