It's often the little things that create big irritations in marriage. Find out the 7 ways to ruin a relationship and 6 ways to build up a relationship. But you may be surprised at the glue that keeps it all together.
How do you know you are living, WORTHY of the calling of Jesus?
Psalm 30
Why do horrible, lousy, miserable things happen to Christians—especially since we know that God is sovereign and at the simple command, fix everything?
It isn’t enough to honor God outwardly—God desires to be honored inwardly in our hearts. The Lord says, "These people come near to me with their mouth and honor me with their lips, BUT their hearts are far from me"—Isaiah 29:13If you’re tired of living to please yourself—Maybe it’s time to start living to honor and glorify the Lord, find out the 5 steps to achieving this.
The incarnation of Jesus Christ. God became a man in order to die for the sins of mankind. His names: Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Prince of Peace
Paul’s greatest passion for believers above all else was for their spiritual growth. He loved seeing believers developing into mature believers. He was passionate in his preaching, teaching, and writing—but his concern for the spiritual growth of every believer is seen in the way “Paul Prayed” for them.
For a person to have joy, practice these things and you will soar above every circumstance.
Youth Pastor Chaz brought the message this morning. Good listen.
“When I die I shall then have my greatest grief and my greatest joy—my greatest grief that I have done so little for Jesus, and my greatest joy that Jesus has done so much for me.” —William GrimshawGrimshaw pastored in England in the mid 1700s, Grimshaw could not forget the debt he owed to the grace of God.
What I want you to take away this morning, is this—When God rewards you, it will be far more generous than you could ever imagine.
Jesus promised a glorious future reward for those who faithfully follow and serve Jesus. When the Lord appears, He will pour out lavishly on believers, eternal blessings that’s vastly are way beyond what we could ever imagine. HERE'S THE PROMISE: "Things which eye has NOT seen and ear has NOT heard, and which have NOT entered the heart of man, ALL that God has prepared for those who love Him—if you love Jesus—you will follow Him—and find ways to serve Him." 1 Corinthians 2:9
What Makes God Smile?—Have you ever wondered about that? —Maybe you never thought about God smiling—We’ll, God created laughter, happiness and smiling—God is always happy.As we continue in the series, Remember, there is coming a glorious future reward for those who faithfully follow and serve Jesus. When the Lord appears—He will pour out lavishly on believers—eternal blessings vastly beyond what we could ever imagine—We’re told this in 1 Cor 2:9—"Things which eye has NOT seen and ear has NOT heard, and which have NOT entered the heart of man, ALL that God has prepared for those who love Him."
We are in a series. We’re looking at God’s REWARDS that He’s storing up in Heaven for you. Every Christian should be laying up treasure in Heaven. The passage is Luke 19:11-27.The parable Jesus told his followers is a wake up call. Because not only will unbelievers face a day of reckoning—every believer will also face a day of reckoning, actually a day of accountability. Once you become a believer, Jesus calls you to be His ambassador. To be a witness to the world and to make lots of heavenly investments.
God hasn’t told us everything in His Word, but be ready to be greatly surprised. What Jesus has planned for you, is far greater—than you can imagine.Whatever you sacrifice here is nothing in comparison to the rewards the honors and privileges you will have in God’s Holy City.
Jesus said— "Do not lay up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy and where thieves break in and steal, BUT lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven..." -Matthew 6:19–20Three important questionsHow long will rewards last?Will every believer receive a reward? Is is possible to lose rewards?
A series on rewards. Did you know, when you step into Heaven you will hear applause? Believers won't stand at the Great White Throne Judgment, but they will stand at the Bema seat--do you know why? Are you storing up "treasure in Heaven?" Jesus told us to do that, do you know why?
A series on rewards. When we step into eternity—The results of our time on earth is irreversible, God will forgive you for all your past sins, but something else is taken into consideration that will effect your eternal standing in Heaven.That’s what I want to talk about this morning.
"At death we put the signature on our life’s portrait. The paint dries. The portrait’s done. Ready or not" -Randy AlcornYou cross the finish line at death, then we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ, so that each one may receive what is due for what he has done in the body, whether good or evil—2 Cor 5:10.Did you know, God actually looks forward to rewarding you? Rewards are a sign of His pleasure and approval for the way you lived and served while on earth. You say, God will have a hard time finding reasons to reward me—Don’t count yourself short. You have more coming than you can imagine.One day when you cross the finish line, you will find yourself standing before your Heavenly Father, while looking into His smiling face, you won’t be lectured nor will you be condemned for the way you lived or served. God will embrace you with the admiration of a loving Father. Then excitedly show you the rewards He’s kept—just for you.
God’s home is a beautiful—The fact that Jesus prepared a place for us ought to be our greatest motivator in this life.
If you have your Bibles please turn to Revelation 21— we’ll be looking at Verses 1-8—Here’s a look at your future—the title this morning is—“A New Heaven and A New Earth.”Heaven is a real place—and you’re heading there—Jesus told His disciples— He was going to prepare a place for them—Jesus has your mansion ready and waiting for YOUR arrival—John 14:2–3.Someone wrote these moving words—Just think of stepping on shore—And finding it Heaven—Of touching a hand—And finding it God’s—Of breathing new air—And finding it celestial—Of waking up in glory—And finding it home.
Millions of believers before us successfully ran their earthly race. They are waiting for you in Heaven.Your name is recorded in heaven. You are a citizen of heaven. Your inheritance waits for you in heaven. Your reward waits for your arrival. Everything you value most, is waiting for your arrival in heaven, heaven is your home.
The Age of Exploration began in the early 15th century people began exploring the world crossing the seas to find new trade routes. Who doesn’t enjoy reading about the early explorers like Marco Polo and Christopher Columbus.What was the greatest discovery ever made? Most people say the greatest discovery was fire and the wheelIn 1922 another discovery was made, a rich treasure was hidden for more than 3000 years. It was the tomb of a famous king. It was hidden in darkness and silence in The Valley of the Kings on the Nile river in Egypt— near the ancient city of Thebes.Howard Carter a British archeologist was the first one to peer into this ancient Egyptian tomb. The resting place of a boy king, Tutankhamen, King Tut. He was buried with more than 5,000 priceless objects.In the last 6 years of Carter searching—twice, he was only 6 feet from the stone steps leading down to the burial chamber of King Tut. How could something so valuable be hidden for SO LONG?—As great as that discovery was—it WASN’T the greatest discovery.THE BIBLE speaks of the GREATEST discovery this earth has ever known. Jesus Said, in Matthew 13:44–46, The kingdom of heaven is like treasure hidden!
The most precious gift on earth is the gift of forgiveness. It doesn’t matter what sin or how many you stacked up over a lifetime, God freely offers to forgive.What is Forgiveness—forgiveness is a “release” or a “dismissal” of something. When Jesus forgives—He releases us from our sins—AND God the Father, dismisses all charges against us. God says, in Isaiah 43:25 I am he who blots out your transgressions…and I will NOT remember your sins.
God is calling YOU to be an encourager
Some things in life are not fixable and there's no window or door to escape, what next?
There’s 66 books in the Bible, but there is only one Book that promises a special blessing for those who read it. God says "Blessed is the one who reads aloud the words of this prophecy, and blessed are those who hear, and who keep what is written in it, for the time is near"—Revelation 1:3. Revelation is God’s final Word to the church. I know it’s a little raw maybe upsetting—but it’s reality.God wants you to know how everything plays out, and promises a good ending to all the bad things happening on this earth.
We’re in a series in the book of Revelation—This letter to the church is God’s final Word to us. What’s encouraging is this, once you know that God has a plan and nothing can stop it, will give you great faith, especially in light of all the evil that's exploding today, terrorism, crime, violence, school shootings, the rapid moral decline, substance abuse, immigration—etc., etcAll this has ramped up because, Satan knows his time is quickly running out, and he knows it.The spiritual battle comes often through your thoughts. Your mind is the win or lose battlefield—if Satan continues to win over your mind and thoughts, he will derail your faith.THIS MORNING—I’ll show you an exciting passage—God ultimately triumphs over Satan’s deceptive rule, God check-mated Satan, when His Son, the Lord Jesus Christ sacrificed himself on the cross—as the humble Lamb of God.
Our purpose for learning about Bible prophecy can be interesting, exciting, as well as scary. God is the one who has given glimpses into the end of the age, Why, to encourage believers who are in the tribulation. As we see the world spin deeper into sin and chaos—God has shown us His cards, He’s giving us a peek to assure us that He has the winning hand.God told us, that one day you will be going about your routine, when instantly and without warning, you will be transformed, for the trumpet will sound, and the dead will be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed—1 Cor 15:51–52. Suddenly, one moment in Heaven, your eyes will see your Messiah—and you will know, you’re NOT just another face in the crowd, because when His beautiful eyes find yours, you will know, how deeply Jesus loves YOU.
Do you know the benefits of redemption? What exactly is Christ the King over?
After the church is raptured, it will be the first time in history that there will not be a believer on the earth. God will give the world what they asked for, a powerful Antichrist leader who will unify the world under his rule. He will be a counterfeit who appears at first to be everything people thought they wanted. He will bring peace and prosperity on earth for 3½ years. But in the middle of the tribulation, the Antichrist will turn out to be far more than the world bargained for, he will be a dictator more cruel and powerful than any other leader the world has ever known.
As you know, the Bible speaks of God, as being our fortress, our place of Refuge. Psalm 46:1 reminds us, God is a very present help in trouble. But what most don’t understand is this: You have to be in the area that God designated, in order to be under, His protection.Psalm 91:1–2 "He who dwells in the shelter (a hiding place) of the Most High will abide in the shadow of the Almighty." God has a place where you can go to find shelter, safety, nourishment and peace of mind. There is no situation we will ever face that is out of God’s control. Proverbs 18:10 says, "The name of the LORD is a strong fortress; the godly run to him and are safe."When believers walk away from under God’s protection—they go unprotected that’s when life gets complicated, difficult and confusing. Do you know how to find and travel the road to refuge? Listen in.
Before you gave your life to Jesus, Satan used everything in his arsenal to keep you from from Him. Now that you’re a Christian, Satan knows you are eternally God’s. You have God’s DNA, and Satan can’t take you to where he’s going, but will try to cripple your walk, make you ineffective, Joyless.
Revelation 11— in the passage this morning, Heaven is aglow with excitement, Jesus will exercise His right to take back the this planet and establish His Kingdom on earth— But before that happens—the church will be raptured. Revelation 3:10 I will keep YOU FROM the hour of trial that is coming on the whole world, to try those who dwell on the earth.But before Jesus takes His church home, Scripture tells us that the tide of apostasy will crown, There will be a great apostasy, a great falling away from God—we are now in those days.2 Thessalonians 2:3 Let no one deceive you in any way. For that day will not come, unless the rebellion comes first, and the man of lawlessness is revealed, the son of destruction. The world will rebel and fall away from God, that’s what apostasy is— rebellion, the abandonment of truthJesus said, the last days— there will be a world-wide rejection of God. Weak, faithless Christians will turn away from God, the Bible, and their faith
Today only a small percentage of churches teach prophecy. Prophecy is a major part of God’s message to our generation. In the New Testament, Jesus reprimanded the Pharisees and Sadducees, because they were ignorant of prophecy. Matthew 16:2–3 Jesus told the religious leaders, “…You know how to interpret the appearance of the sky, but you cannot interpret the signs of the times”
You are VERY important to God, He purchased you with His blood. You are His. You are God’s property and God created you and set you in this time in history at the close of the "church age" to be His witness. "For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand, that we should walk in them." -Ephesians 2:10What you do with your life, counts for all eternity, and we will be accountable."For we must ALL appear before the judgment seat of Christ, so that each one may receive what is due for what he has done in the body, whether good or evil." -2 Corinthians 5:10."For God will bring every deed into judgment, with every secret thing, whether good or evil." -Ecclesiastes 12:14
What's so important about the Temple Mount in Jerusalem? Is it God's plan to be a nation that accepts globalism, or is it Satans plan?How close is Israel to building the 3rd Temple? What does God think about it?
That OT believer Job, in the midst of massive trials, said, "The tents of robbers are at peace, and those who provoke God are secure.…Why do the wicked live, reach old age, and grow mighty in power?" The psalmists frequently asked God, why do you tolerate godless men?Those who will be killed during the tribulation will also cry out, to God, with a loud voice, “O Sovereign Lord, holy and true, HOW LONG before you will judge and avenge our blood on those who dwell on the earth?" -Rev 6:10There WILL come a day, when, GOD WILL BREAK HIS SILENCE, and that day is very soon.
When we come to Revelation 9— unbelievers will be caught in the crossfire during the tribulation— they will experience the wrath of God from heaven, and the wrath of man on earth— and the wrath of Satan from under the earth— why? Why is God allowing this? He’s waking up the lost— God is giving them an opportunity— to repent of their sins— just like He did in Noah’s day.
Biblical tithing. How much is enough to give.
