Jesus Is Enough

8/10/2013

 
2 My brethren, count it all joy when ye fall into divers temptations; 3 Knowing this, that the trying of your faith worketh patience.  4 But let patience have her perfect work, that ye may be perfect and entire, wanting nothing.  James 1:2-4
Picture
A pastor was once in downtown Cincinnati when a man came up and asked him for a drink.  He specifically asked for a “pop” or soda; the minister used this opportunity to teach his students that the man thought he wanted soda to drink, but what his body was really craving was water.  He really wanted water, but he didn't know it.

A Love that Reaches Out to Those Who Cannot or Will Not Love

5/2/2013

 
"3 We give thanks to God and the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, praying always for you, 4 Since we heard of your faith in Christ Jesus, and of the love which ye have to all the saints" 
Colossians 1:3-4

Picture
Can you rejoice at the love that God has placed in your heart for all your neighbors?  Love is not something we can properly do unless God is in our life.

Don’t Go Back to the Old Way

4/14/2013

 
"For it is not possible that the blood of bulls and of goats should take away sins."  Hebrews 10:4
Picture
Hebrews is a wonderful book of the Bible that teaches Jewish Christians as well as Gentile believers today that we do not want to go back to the old way.  Before Christ came to earth, the Jews had focused their attention on works, performing sacrifices, and conducting celebrations in hopes of going to heaven.  While some Jews realized they could only live by faith, others were trusting in their works to obtain God.  When Christ walked among the Jews, He eliminated the sacrifices and celebrations the Jews had so long after sought.  He became the final sacrifice when He died for our sins and, in fact, “resisted unto blood, striving against sin.” (Hebrews 12:4)  After all, the blood of bulls and goats (or any other man made way) can not take away sin.

Matthew 6:15 – Overcoming the Problems of Forgiveness, Part 2

2/23/2013

 
15 But if ye forgive not men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses.  Matthew 6:15
Picture
The world’s philosophy says, forgive other people for your own benefit.  God is much wiser:  He shows us that Forgiven People Forgive.  Our motivation is not solely to forgive so we can benefit; our motivation is to forgive so others will see how loving and kind God is.  But what happens when we stubbornly decide we will not extend forgiveness to someone else?

2 Timothy 1:7 - Grace Exploding with Love!

2/16/2013

 
"For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind." 2 Timothy 2:7
Picture
God’s Word tells us that we will suffer for our relationship with Christ; this is true especially when we share His gospel to the world.  Sometimes when we witness for Him, we will look into people’s eyes before opening our mouths and we give up because we think we are going to be rejected anyway.
