True fruitfulness is the product of abiding in the presence of God, not the result of religious pressure or self-effort. John 15 serves as the foundation for understanding that life in Christ flows not from striving but from remaining: “Remain in Me, and I in you. Just as the branch cannot bear fruit of itself but must remain in the vine, so neither can you unless you remain in Me” (John 15:4). The teaching emphasized that pruning is not rejection […] The post We Are: Abiding and Abounding appeared first on Revival Life Church Boca Raton, FL.
In a world where 1 in 5 people in the U.S. now suffer from chronic depression, is it possible to experience the peace of God? In His Last Supper sermon, Jesus told His disciples, "Peace I leave with you." In this teaching you will learn several principles that will help the Christ follower experience the peace of God that surpasses all understanding.
The People Side of an Abounding Ministry
Abounding Like It Matters - Because It Does!
Continuing with the theme of the Holy Spirit, pastor Andy provides four more ways the Holy Spirit leads and speaks to His people. In doing so, he invites Pam Hull to share some real-world experience in learning to be led by the Holy Spirit and what that looks like. You don't want to miss this one!
The Holy Spirit is a very under-appreciated part of God. Mainstream Christianity practically ignores the topic of the Holy Spirit. Yet Jesus said it would be the Holy Spirit Who He would send and enter our hearts when Jesus ascended back to Heaven. Understanding the Holy Spirit is a vital part of walking in victory in this life. Learn more about the Holy Spirit in this teaching, and especially how to recognize when the Holy Spirit is speaking to you.
Jesus claimed to be God and the only way to salvation -- a claim that makes a lot of people, even pastors these days, uncomfortable because of the exclusive nature of that claim in an age when people consider truth as relative. Learn in this teaching how we can be sure that Jesus is who He claimed to be, and how that applies to the subject of salvation. You may have never heard it described this way before.

Jesus addressed several important life lessons in His farewell address around the table at the Last Supper. The second life lesson Jesus serves up to His disciples is the command to love one another. And before writing this off as just another worn out lesson on love, one should ask if the love of Christ has been personally mastered yet. If not, there's more to learn. And you may be surprised how a lack of love can go unnoticed and unaddressed in the life of the Believer, leading to a stale relationship with Jesus, a lack of joy, and lackluster results in prayer. Prepare to bear more fruit by learning about the more excellent way.
Hezekiah teaches on God's steadfast love through the story of Jonah.
Verses about God's love, like John 3:16, tend to get repeated and memorized. They stir up warm, sentimental feelings and make us feel good about ourselves.

Have you ever wondered why so many movies, books, and songs are focused on romance? It's because every one of us, in the deepest corners of our hearts, longs to feel loved and cherished. But if we're honest with ourselves, we also know that we don't deserve that kind of unconditional love.

This world will tell you that you must climb the social ladder and gain popularity. This is so backward from who the Bible says you must be! Today, Pastor Bill says you can't control what other people do, but you must control your thoughts and hate covetousness. According to scripture, those who hate covetousness will have abundant lives! Even if everyone around you is seeking more, ask yourself, “Do I need more, or am I okay where I'm at?” Covetousness will always lead you down a path of discontentment.

God's promises will be fulfilled upon Jesus' return. Jesus ministry on earth was a time of conflict ending in his death at the hands of sinners. His death didn’t end his messianic mission though. He has more to do in the fulfillment of all God’s promises to Israel. Jesus is returning to fulfill all of those promises.

Sunday afternoon message from the pulpit of Shawano Baptist Church
1 Corinthians 15:50-58
Jesus' resurrection is the assurance of our reconciliation with God. In these troubled times with so much uncertainty in the world and our lives, Christians should know that all of this is due to sin. Our sin is disobedience and rebellion against the Holy God that created everything. Everyone needs to reconcile with God. Some people have reconciliation through Jesus' sacrifice on… The post Abounding in Resurrection Certainty, Part 1 | The Testimony of Divine Justice appeared first on Pillar of Truth Radio.

Everyone can hurt someone at any given moment. Romans says, “all have fallen short of the glory of God.” This means we've all sinned and will continue to sin without the blood of Christ. Today, Pastor Bill says if we confess our sins to others, we'll have abundant life through the Father. Is there someone whom you've wronged and haven't apologized to? Your response shouldn't be to hide in guilt and shame. You should go to them and right what you did wrong by apologizing and asking for forgiveness.

Away From the Presence Jonah 1:1-16 Message Slides For the bulletin in PDF form, click here. God is Present EverywhereWe Forget to Live Like God is Present EverywhereGod is Gracious and Merciful, Slow to Anger, and Abounding in Steadfast LoveDiscussion Questions1. The main lesson we learn is that God is present everywhere. Yet there are some places we would probably prefer not to go (even if God is with us). Where would you least/most want to be if you were alone: in the ocean, on a mountain, or in space? Any other places?2. Jonah tries to flee from the presence of the Lord (1:2-3), but he is unable because God is present everywhere. What are some indications in the book that reveal God is present everywhere?3. Do you have any challenges with thinking about God being present everywhere? Is this a difficult or a relatively simple concept for you? Explain.4. Have someone read Psalm 139:7-10. This passage talks about God being present everywhere and how this should encourage us. Why should we be encouraged by the idea that God is present everywhere? Have you ever been especially encouraged by this truth?5. The idea that God is present everywhere can also be humbling. Explain why. Have you ever been convicted by the thought that God is present everywhere and knows everything we do and everything we think?6. Explain how Jonah can have correct thinking in 1:9 that God is present everywhere and yet he tries to flee from God's presence. How can his thinking and living be inconsistent? What are some ways your thinking and living can be inconsistent?7. The story is ultimately about God's grace shown to Nineveh but also shown to Jonah. What are some ways we see God's grace toward Jonah in this story? What are some lessons we might apply to our lives from this?8. Jesus thinks of the story of Jonah as pointing to Him when he says, “something greater than Jonah is here” (Matt 12:41). What are some examples of how Jesus succeeds where Jonah fails? How is Jesus greater than Jonah? Why should this encourage us today?Mission Highlight - Pray for the Unreached: The Montgomery Family On Friday, March 28th, Southeast Asia experienced an earthquake of 7.7 magnitude.

YouTube & Podbean DESCRIPTION: Paul uses a “how much more” logic to show us how much better the free gift of righteousness is than the sin that necessitated it. We have a better Man than ourselves. We are not saved by our understanding of the law or our ability to keep it, but by Christ's act of obedience at the cross. In Christ we have a better work than Adam's. It is not our work of righteousness, or Adam's work of sin, that defines us. It is Christ's work alone that defines the believer in Jesus. We have a better gift. The gift of grace given to us in Christ's righteous obedience reaps for us an eternal reward, impacting our future forever! Salvation has a better scope than we originally realized. It is for every tribe, tongue and nation on the earth—everyone who believes in Christ. Embrace the scope of this gift by offering it to those outside the church doors (as well as those inside). ------- Please note that at about 5:20 in the video, Kristin accidentally misspeaks, saying that some liberal scholars suggest that Paul was a mythical figure. She intended to follow up her previous correct statement that “Paul regards Adam as a historical person,” with the contrast of some liberal scholars who suggest that *Adam* was a mythical figure.

It is commitment Sunday at Grace Community Bible Church. The church is refreshing and renewing the commitments they made a year ago, financial commitments that are going towards 27 acres of property the church purchased to be the future home of the church. In this sermon Tony answers the question, “why should I commit and what keeps me motivated to commit?”
