We so often give into temptation. Jesus was tempted in every way yet he resisted the tempter and won the victory for us. Adam and his children are overcome by temptation but Jesus overcame it and so can his brothers!
Not asking for salvation but keeping our relationship with God unhindered.
Jesus teaches us not to be self reliant, that God will provide everything we need and to live 'on the breadline'.
“In terms of eternity, those people who did the greatest things for God were the people who weren’t trying to do anything at all. They were just simply being obedient, Those are the people God can use and I want to be one of them” - Rich Mullins
When we come to prayer, let us hallow God’s name as we call upon Him, with hearts that desire to glorify Him, for He is our loving and perfect Father. Let us hallow His name in our thoughts, words and actions.
Daa-aad, you know you really love me....
God Is More Wiling To Answer Our Prayers Than We Are To Pray Them
Acts 1:8 So you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you
John 14:16 And I will ask the Father, and he will give you another advocate to help you and be with you forever. The Paraclete is our Helper, Comforter, Counsellor, Advocate.
Baptism is like a marriage where the love and commitment of the bride's heart is declared. Joining to Christ, unites us to his baptism of righteousness and his baptism of judgement at the cross.
The Holy Spirit is present in the first chapter of the bible, hovering over the darkness and chaos. He is still above the chaos and disorder of our lives waiting to bring life and light, order and beauty to glorify God.
1 John 1:7 But if we walk in the light as He is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus Christ His Son cleanses us from all sin.
Jesus revealed his Glory through his arrest. His arrest was planned before eternity past.
The same power that raised Christ from the Dead is at work...
To know the “TRUE” meaning of the cross we need to experience JESUS. To know a powerful, transformational change on the inside of your life we need to SEE the TRUTH, and experience the POWER of the CROSS, then we will come to know the AMAZING saving grace of Jesus Christ in our lives.
Worship in Spirit and in Truth (John 4:19-26) not mixed up traditions (2 Kings 17:24-41)
The power of a simple invitation, the fear that we need to face, and hearing God calling each of us to invite. (2 videos were shown during this sermon, the first one only has music for 1 minute, the second one has a voice over. The recording captures the silence of the prayer time and then continues.)
Freedom comes from the breath of God, the Holy Spirit. If we are lacking freedom, then we are short of breath. Shortness of Breath limits us spiritually just like physically being short of breath impacts on activities of daily living.
Ask yourself what you want people to do for you; then grab the initiative and do it for them!
Following Jesus' example of being intentional with our time. Time spent with God, relating to others, serving God's priorities and plans.
God has made us managers of the masters wealth, and it's to be used to win souls into our eternal dwelling, God.
What matters in your christian life is not the size, strength, or quantity of your faith, because faith doesn't uproot trees...God does
God wants to connect you to Himself through prayer so that you are fruitful.
God's word is seed that can only be fruitful if our hearts are in a condition to receive it.
Whoever wants to be my disciple must deny themselves and take up their cross and follow me. For whoever wants to save their life will lose it, but whoever loses their life for me will find it.
God blessed Adam and Eve and said to them be fruitful and increase in number.
Continuing the advent series with the nativity story by chocolate bars (Mark) and the peace that Christ brought (Jona)
"The hopes and fears of all the years are met in thee tonight". Continuing the advent series, we consider hope. So often our hopes and fears are closely related and both are dealt with by Jesus.
We explore spiritual factors that rob us of our joy and how we can know the joy of Jesus as a gift and our strength in response to God's word.
When God speaks “Blessing” into our lives, that blessing is destined to empower us for fruitfulness and to glorify His Name. How does God do it? God releases His blessing through His spoken word.
Christ Alone - not just our ticket to eternal life but our transport. Christ alone, not just for forgiveness but our ongoing life. Christ in us, the hope of glory.
2 Timothy 3:14-17. 1)Divine Holiness 2)Power to Save Sinners 3)Brings us to Christ 4)God-Breathed 5)Useful
Christ died for us. United with Him we also died so that we are now "just as if I'd" never sinned. We are saved by faith alone in Christ alone but the faith that saves is never alone. Living Faith = Justified + works that he has prepared for us to do.
Our standing before God is permanent because we are saved by grace which has appeared in Christ crucified
The essential theological statements that came out of the reformation theology were the 5 solas (which means alone): By Grace alone (Sola Gratia) Through Faith alone (Sola Fide) In Christ alone (Solus Christus) According to Scripture alone (Sola Scriptura) For God’s Glory alone (Soli Deo Gloria)
Jesus cleanses our uncleanness, forgives our sin and is a doctor for the spiritually sick
Chosen, Accepted, Predestined, Redeemed, Heirs, Sealed
Expectancy is a component of faith and our lack of faith can place limits on God
Reasonable Doubt Doubt that leads to Truth Faith Remedied by Revelation
Isaiah 53 led like a lamb to the slaughter and as a sheep before it's shearers is silent, so he did not open his mouth.
