Pastor Larry continues the GOALS Series with a challenging message about sharing your story with others.
Just as God loves us through the fall, his plan for our relationships on earth is that we would show mercy - even to those who have wronged us. Just as our vertical relationship is marked by forgiveness, our horizontal relationships are to be as well.
Restoration begins with adoption. Because our status has changed from slaves to sons we are Under the New Management of the Holy Spirit. This transformation of status means a change in our motivation and destination.
When our treasure is stored in Heaven, it cannot be stolen or destroyed. Jesus calls us to move our allegiances from earthly to heavenly and that begins with an understanding of who God is and how he loves and cares for his children.
God has made himself available to you in full through Jesus. Fasting allows you to place all distractions aside and see him more clearly. Fasting is not transactional, it’s relational and approaching it with an honest heart is crucial to understanding and enjoying its rewards.
Because God wants a relationship with his children he has given them access through prayer. This communication isn’t only one of adoration and thanksgiving but of petitions as well. Here, Jesus shows his followers how to pray for themselves.
We can approach God with a level of intimacy but that doesn't mean we forget his position of authority.
Followers of Jesus have been given the priceless gift of intimate communication with their Father. He teaches us here the heart we ought to have in order to receive this gift.
In 2020 we will be a river of life flowing through Queens, giving Jesus - the living water - to all who come and drink. We will carry the water to our hearts and then to our neighbors.
A thirst for God begins with a recognition of the stagnant ponds we are currently being satisfied in and continues by coming to drink from the living water. Jesus carries the water to us, free to all, and out of us flow rivers of life.
Jesus has come to be the king who fills us with joy, frees us from oppression, and reigns peacefully.
Our pursuit of God must flow from personal devotion instead of public perception.
Embracing enemy love begins with resisting retaliation because we cannot love those with whom we seek revenge. It doesn’t stop there; we must then insist on love. This involves actively pursuing others with loving kindness and praying for those who we tend to hate.
Telling the truth can come at great cost to our ability to appear to others as we’d like them to imagine us. However, Jesus calls us to be people who are not only loving, but also honest.
Lust is a sin that enters through our eyes but damages our heart and entices action with our hands. Jesus desires for our souls to be kept pure, even if it means going to great lengths to make that happen.
Pastor Danny encourages us to be proactive in our love for one another rather than reactive in anger. He continues the Portrait Series from Matthew 5:21-26
Guest speaker, Mac Gervais continues our Portrait series by encouraging us to look to Jesus to find goodness. When we look to him, he will show us all we need to live faithfully.
Two of the most unique characteristics of a follower of Jesus are their ability to bring preservation, and light to the world around them. Jesus’ words here give us the confidence we need to know we are living with a Higher Purpose.
Merciful, pure, and peacemaking are who we are in Christ. We move from the beatitudes of need into the beatitudes of action by way of our hunger for righteousness.
The meek will inherit the earth because God has designed his kingdom to come through his ways and not man’s. The meek are selfless with their strength and come to possess what God has planned for them by asserting themselves for the good of others. This emptying of oneself produces a hunger and thirsting after God, who will always satisfy like nothing else can.
Mourning is a healthy practice for followers of God. Through this we learn that, although our sin grieves God and has real consequences, he is One who always comforts those who seek him through mourning.
The only citizens of the kingdom of heaven are those who have emptied themselves so as to be filled with the Holy Spirit. To be poor in spirit doesn't mean to think less of yourself but to think of yourself less.
The Sermon on the Mount isn’t a new moral code or a behavioral guide for Christians. It is a description of your new identity in Christ, this is who you are as a new creation. Our response is to turn and face the portrait of a disciple and let it reshape who we are.
