In this sermon, John MacArthur examines 1 Thessalonians 5:18, where Paul instructs believers to "In everything give thanks." MacArthur emphasizes that gratitude should be a constant aspect of the Christian life, regardless of circumstances. He contrasts this with the ungratefulness characteristic of unbelievers, highlighting that thankfulness is a distinguishing mark of believers. By recognizing God's sovereignty and His work in all situations, Christians are called to express gratitude in every circumstance Date Preached: Nov 24, 2019 Scriptures For more information about this sermon, please visit Grace To You Ministries.

And it isn't for us to keep for ourselves! Listen in as Philip shares how the grace we show points others to God and how we can extend it to those in need.

SCRIPTURES  For the grace of God has appeared, bringing salvation for all people, training us to renounce ungodliness and worldly passions, and to live self-controlled, upright, and godly lives in the present age, waiting for our blessed hope, the appearing of the glory of our great God and Savior Jesus Christ, who gave himself for us to redeem us from all lawlessness and to purify for himself a people for his own possession who are zealous for good works. Titus 2:11-14 ESV  Nevertheless, I tell you the truth: it is to your advantage that I go away, for if I do not go away, the Helper will not come to you. But if I go, I will send him to you. John 16:7 ESV By this all people will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another. John 13:35 ESV Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of compassion and the God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our troubles, so that we can comfort those in any trouble with the comfort we ourselves receive from God. 2 Corinthians 1:3-4 NIV But in your hearts revere Christ as Lord.

“I can't do this, but it is the assurance that God is the Builder. Because if I could do anything in my strength, it's worthless. So, it's good that I can't do it, but God can.” Our wonderful Moms in Prayer Heartland Division Coordinator, Rachel Raih, joins us on the podcast today. She reminds us of the assurance, hope and peace that is found in trusting God to be our Master Builder. Listen in as Rachel shares encouragement of what God is doing around the world as He builds His Kingdom. The Moms in Prayer Podcast is a part of the Christian Parenting Podcast Network. To find practical and spiritual advice to help you grow into the parent you want to be visit ChristianParenting.org ABOUT OUR GUEST Rachel clearly remembers when she heard about Moms in Prayer International on a Focus on the Family radio broadcast featuring our Founder, Fern Nichols. Her heart was stirred and now she has been praying in a Moms in Prayer group for 32 years! After serving for 10 years as our Iowa State Coordinator, she now serves as our Heartland Division Coordinator, overseeing seven states. She plans to continue to pray in a group as long as the Lord gives her the physical and mental ability.   Her oldest son battled severe asthma which resulted in a number of emergency room visits and hospitalizations throughout his childhood on up to college. She would battle anxiety and fear whenever he developed a runny nose or cough and a feeling of dread would come over her. Many weeks he would be the one of the four children that were covered in prayer in her Moms in Prayer hour. This brought great peace, hope and strength. God answered so many prayers on his behalf and today he is healthy and his asthma is well controlled. Rachel lives with her husband, Darrel, of 44 years in Sioux Center, Iowa. They have four adult children and the wonderful blessing of being grandpa and grandma to seven grandchildren with number eight due to arrive soon! SCRIPTURES  For every house is built by someone, but God is the builder of everything. Hebrews 3:4 NIV So God created man in His own image; in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them. Then God blessed them, and God said to them, “Be fruitful and multiply; fill the earth and subdue it; have dominion over the fish of the sea, over the birds of the air, and over every living thing that moves on the earth.” Genesis 1:27-28 NKJV Consequently, you are no longer foreigners and strangers, but fellow citizens with God's people and also members of his household, built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, with Christ Jesus himself as the chief cornerstone. In him the whole building is joined together and rises to become a holy temple in the Lord. And in him you too are being built together to become a dwelling in which God lives by his Spirit. Ephesians 2:19-22 NIV you also, like living stones, are being built into a spiritual house to be a holy priesthood, offering spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ. 1 Peter 2:5 NIV  Now he who plants and he who waters are one, and each one will receive his own reward according to his own labor. For we are God's fellow workers; you are God's field, you are God's building. 1 Corinthians 3:8-9 NKJV But God chose the foolish things of the world to shame the wise; God chose the weak things of the world to shame the strong. 1 Corinthians 1:27 NIV Unless the Lord builds the house,     the builders labor in vain. Unless the Lord watches over the city,     the guards stand watch in vain. Psalm 127:1 NIV   LINKS MOMS IN PRAYER New to Moms in Prayer?

Jesus Ministries, Joan Boney  ... (This new book is now available on Amazon in e-book for 99 cents.  Later to be published in paperback also.)   Hebrews 10:25   Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some is;  but exhorting one another: and so much the more, as ye see the day approaching. The assembling of "ourselves" is to gather with the elect of God, not with the church of the apostasy, which has fallen away from scripture, and has set up doctrines of their own imaginations.   ***    Matthew 7:16-20  Jesus says:     16 Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles? 17 Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; but a corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit. 18 A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit. 19 Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire. 20 Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them.   ***   2 Peter 2   1 But there were false prophets also among the people, even as there shall be false teachers among you, who privily shall bring in damnable heresies, even denying the Lord that bought them, and bring upon themselves swift destruction. 2 And many shall follow their pernicious ways; by reason of whom the way of truth shall be evil spoken of. 3 And through covetousness shall they with feigned words make merchandise of you: whose judgment now of a long time lingereth not, and their damnation slumbereth not. 4 For if God spared not the angels that sinned, but cast them down to hell, and delivered them into chains of darkness, to be reserved unto judgment; 5 And spared not the old world, but saved Noah the eighth person, a preacher of righteousness, bringing in the flood upon the world of the ungodly; 6 And turning the cities of Sodom and Gomorrha into ashes condemned them with an overthrow, making them an ensample unto those that after should live ungodly; 7 And delivered just Lot, vexed with the filthy conversation of the wicked: 8 (For that righteous man dwelling among them, in seeing and hearing, vexed his righteous soul from day to day with their unlawful deeds;) 9 The Lord knoweth how to deliver the godly out of temptations, and to reserve the unjust unto the day of judgment to be punished: 10 But chiefly them that walk after the flesh in the lust of uncleanness, and despise government. Presumptuous are they, selfwilled, they are not afraid to speak evil of dignities. 11 Whereas angels, which are greater in power and might, bring not railing accusation against them before the Lord. 12 But these, as natural brute beasts, made to be taken and destroyed, speak evil of the things that they understand not; and shall utterly perish in their own corruption; 13 And shall receive the reward of unrighteousness, as they that count it pleasure to riot in the day time. Spots they are and blemishes, sporting themselves with their own deceivings while they feast with you; 14 Having eyes full of adultery, and that cannot cease from sin; beguiling unstable souls: an heart they have exercised with covetous practices; cursed children: 15 Which have forsaken the right way, and are gone astray, following the way of Balaam the son of Bosor, who loved the wages of unrighteousness; 16 But was rebuked for his iniquity: the dumb ass speaking with man's voice forbad the madness of the prophet. 17 These are wells without water, clouds that are carried with a tempest; to whom the mist of darkness is reserved for ever. 18 For when they speak great swelling words of vanity, they allure through the lusts of the flesh, through much wantonness, those that were clean escaped from them who live in error. 19 While they promise them liberty, they themselves are the servants of corruption: for of whom a man is overcome, of the same is he brought in bondage. 20 For if after they have escaped the pollutions of the world through the knowledge of the Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, they are again entangled therein, and overcome, the latter end is worse with them than the beginning. 21 For it had been better for them not to have known the way of righteousness, than, after they have known it, to turn from the holy commandment delivered unto them. 22 But it is happened unto them according to the true proverb, The dog is turned to his own vomit again; and the sow that was washed to her wallowing in the mire. ***   To continue reading scriptures to think on concerning the book: Attending Church!, please click on the following link:  Scriptures *** * For writings on additional subjects, click here:  Jesus Ministries Exhortations Blog 

Welcome back to our Charlotte Mason mamas around the globe series! Today Erika gets to interview a very good friend of ours all the way from the UK! Alberta Stevens is a proud boy mom (or mum, as she would say it), who beautifully implements the Charlotte Mason philosophy in her multicultural home in London. Originally from Sierra Leone, she's passionate about spreading a life-giving and culturally diverse feast to all families through the wonderful resources she creates, as well through her podcast, "Homegrown Sunshine." She is a kindred spirit who inspires us with her work for the Lord. We are honored to have her share with us today. WHERE TO FIND ALBERTA STEVENS Instagram @homegrown.sonshine Website: https://homegrownsonshine.co.uk Podcast: Homegrown Sunshine (wherever you get your podcasts) QUOTES "In my home, there's 3 cultures, really. It's British, it's Sierra Leonean, but it's predominantly Christian. That is the biggest part of my identity and Charlotte Mason gives me the space, the tools, the words and, also, the 'how to' to make those things come together and make a life out of it." PRINCIPLES 1. Children are born persons. 17. The way of the will: Children should be taught, (a) to distinguish between 'I want' and 'I will.' (b) That the way to will effectively is to turn our thoughts from that which we desire but do not will. (c) That the best way to turn our thoughts is to think of or do some quite different thing, entertaining or interesting. (d) That after a little rest in this way, the will returns to its work with new vigour. (This adjunct of the will is familiar to us as diversion, whose office it is to ease us for a time from will effort, that we may 'will' again with added power. The use of suggestion as an aid to the will is to be deprecated, as tending to stultify and stereotype character, It would seem that spontaneity is a condition of development, and that human nature needs the discipline of failure as well as of success.) PNEU MOTTE: I am, I can, I ought, I will. SCRIPTURES "For what I am doing, I do not understand. For what I will to do, that I do not practice; but what I hate, that I do." Romans 7:15 "For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind." 2 Timothy 1:7 "No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us. For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord."

The wise and faithful Fred Rogers said, "Anything human is mentionable, and anything mentionable is manageable."  It was both a touchstone of his approach to children's television in his Neighborhood of Make-Believe, and also a key to his approach to ministry and life.  Rogers also taught generations of children to ask the difficult but vital question, "What do you do with the MAD that you feel?" with the understanding that we all feel anger sometimes and need to decide how to use, channel, and process it.  With that in mind, pastors Erica, Sarah, and Steve explore a set of prayers in the Bible, found in the Book of Psalms, that vent anger to God sometimes in very explicit ways, even calling for God to do violence to enemies.  What do we make of verses calling on God to bash the heads of the babies of a foreign enemy on rocks, for example?  And what does it mean that these words are in our Scriptures? For that matter, what difference does it make to know that God isn't obligated to give us the things we pray for, but is able to let us vent what we need to vent as the first step toward metabolizing our anger from bitter vengeance into something useful to change what is wrong in the world?  In a conversation that spans everything from particle physics to Maya Angelou to Mr. Rogers' Neighborhood, this is an important conversation to have, and you're invited to share in it.  Becuase everything that is mentionable... can become manageable.

Scriptures: For the word of God is quick, powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart. - Hebrews 4:12 All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: 2 Timothy 3:16 18 For I testify unto every man that heareth the words of the prophecy of this book, If any man shall add unto these things, God shall add unto him the plagues that are written in this book: 19 And if any man shall take away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part out of the book of life, and out of the holy city, and from the things which are written in this book. 20 He which testifieth these things saith, Surely I come quickly. Amen. Even so, come, Lord Jesus. 21 The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. Amen. Revelation 22:18-21 9 Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inheret the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind, 10 Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extrortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God. 1 Corinthians 6:9-10 Check out my writings on Blogspot.

I love how descriptive the Word of Yehovah is. We are often given metaphorical imagery to help us understand spiritual concepts. These comparisons not only give us a tangible idea of what Scripture describes but, I imagine, that each metaphor also carries secret keys to understanding the physical world. We are often called “the body of Messiah” in the Scriptures: “For as we have many members in one body, but all members do not have the same function, so we, the many, are one body in Messiah, and members each one of one another.” – Romans 12:4-5 We also know that we are created in the image of Elohim. Imagine, then, all the ways that our bodies reveal the glory of our Creator! Recent studies have shown that the average human body is composed of approximately 37 trillion cells- not including the at least equal amount of foreign cell bodies that live in us, too. 97% of all cells in the body fall into one of six categories: red blood cells, glial cells, endothelial cells, dermal fibroblasts, platelets, and bone marrow. Over 70% of ALL cells in our bodies are red blood cells. This means that most of our actual body is responsible for carrying oxygen to other cells. The other really important thing that red blood cells do is remove carbon dioxide from our cell tissues. Glial cells, once thought to simply be neuron-insulators, are now being investigated more deeply as some scientists believe they could be responsible for our creative thoughts. They make up 90% of our brain. Another important function of glial cells is, again, to transport oxygen and nutrients to neurons. Endothelial cells create a one-cell thick lining in all of our blood vessels. They ensure a smooth ride for our oxygen-carrying RBCs. Dermal Fibroblasts are found in our skin, and aid in healing when we are wounded! Platelets, another vital component to healing in our bodies, specifically work to seal any breaks in the endothelial lining of our blood vessels. Lastly, we have bone marrow cells that are responsible for the cultivating of our blood cells. This means that 97% of the human body is directly involved with the transport of oxygen to our cells. “And YeHoVaH Elohim formed the man out of dust from the ground and breathed into his nostrils breath of lives. And the man became a living being.” – Genesis 2:7 We that make up the body of Messiah all have this breath of life! What an interesting parallel the Father has given us in the design of our own bodies. Just as our cells minister to one another, we are to do the same. We are each filled with the Ruach haKodesh, the Holy Spirit, and we manifest different gifts that we are to use in support the body of Messiah as a whole. How amazing! Baruch Hashem YeHoVaH! I leave you with this… As these cells bring life-breath to the functioning tissues of our bodies, they also rid the body of waste. “And, according to the Torah, almost all is cleansed with blood, and without shedding of blood there is no forgiveness.” – Hebrews 9:22 Our blood moves throughout the body, cleansing it. Individual cells are the vessels for cleansing. They are carried by the blood and they are filled with the breath-of-life! I encourage you to dwell on this thought. We know of the power of the Blood. It courses through our (endothelial-lined) veins. Each of us has the privilege of being vessels of the Holy Spirit. Let us continue to work together as one body of many members, until the day He is crowned as King of Kings.
