Understanding The Kingdom Of God
Text: Proverbs 4:7 Ask yourself if you are in a position to understand Kingdom stuff. When you hear the Word, can you understand it? God says, if we start off listening, we’ll understand, because we understand when we pay attention. Jesus tells us to listen with understanding and He’ll give us more. If we don’t, what we do have will be taken from us. It’s a dangerous thing to listen to Truth and not obey it. When that happens, we’ve…
Test The Spirits
Text: 1 John 4:1-3 It is crucial that every believer have an understanding of God’s Word, because there are many who are in the world preaching a false gospel. They give us a bunch of hopes and dreams, but in the end, there is nothing. We need to not be gulible and naive anymore. It’s time to test the spirits and see if they are of God. How do we do that? By the Word of God. We are called…
What God Starts He Finishes
Text: Philippians 1:6 Road construction can cause many difficulties: detours, traffic jams, and frustration. Our lives are under construction, which can cause the loss of faith. It causes us not to stay focused or even make us feel like we’re not saved. It causes us to doubt and be discouraged. But, God says He will finish what He started. We need to grab hold of this Truth! We need to have the confidence in the completed work of the cross.…
The Way, The Truth, And The life
Text: John 14:6 The Truth: Jesus’ Law is the Truth. Jesus cam to fulfill the Law, therefor He is the Truth! Jesus is the Word, and His Word is Truth. The Life: Jesus said because He lives, we also will live. Jesus provided true deliverance from bondage, sin, and death to freedom & eternity. The Way: How do we follow Him today? We believe His Word as Truth. He is our example. The Bible teaches us that Jesus is our…
Build A Boat
Text: Luke 17:20-37 We are in the days of Noah. There is something that has come over our nation. “Materialism”, “the easiness of getting sucked into the world and worshiping things that are not godly”, the easiness of ignoring Jesus and not making Him the center our our lives”. . .that kind of spirit. There comes a point in our Christian walk when we hit rock bottom. We keep praying for forgiveness for the idols we cling to, yet we…
Remember Who You Are
Text: 1 Peter 2:9 Sometimes change is good, but we can’t forget where we came from and who we are. We live in a society that wants to rob us of who we are in Christ, by intimidating us with their own agendas. We can’t let the enemy come in and steal our testimonies of who we are and what God has done for us. Sometimes we even do it to ourselves, because we want to blend in with everyone…
A Call To Holiness
Text: 1 Peter 1:15-16 Are you going through something right now? Hold on! We are on our way to Glory! This world is not ours. We are to be a light in this world. Take a stand for the TRUTH! We shouldn’t be intimidated. We need to be the conscience for the church. Satan wants to distract us with racism, pro-choice, and all the other “hot” topics of today. Again, we must stand for the TRUTH! The enemy wants to…
What Is Your Mind On
Text: 1 Peter 1:13 Have you ever seen someone do something or say something and thing to yourself, “What were you thinking?” There are so many things going on today that cloud the minds of the saints. The enemy is working hard at keeping us distracted because he knows his time is short. We must stay in the Word and stay in prayer, because our lives depend on it! As believers, we’re to think a certain way. We have the…
A Description Of God’s Love
Text: Romans 5:6-8 Some people have a warped description of God’s Love. We cannot confuse God’s Love with God’s punishment for sin. The Bible says without Christ, we cannot make it. We won’t make it! When we were weak and not able to make good choices and seperated from God, Christ died for us. At the right time, God became the substitution for us. We are all incapable of getting to Jesus without the cross. God’s Love is untainted and…
Seeking To Save The Lost
Text: Luke 19:10 We know how important something is after we’ve lost it. How hard do we look for it? The human soul is the most important thing in this world. God’s intention is to seek the souls that are lost. We are valuable to Him. When we’re a REAL shepard, we care about the sheep. There has to be a change in our lives, if we say we are saved. If there isn’t, we’re not saved! We can’t keep…
