“1 Peter 2:5 – In His Hands, We Are Built”
Messages
No one enjoys being corrected, being told, ‘You’re wrong!”. Yet we are told by the scriptures that correction from God shows us that He loves us. He will not allow us to walk down a path that will bring us to destruction.
As Children of God, what is our focus? I share a first hand experience from the Feast of Tabernacles in Chile from 2009 where we learned once again that “things” don’t make us happy. Reflecting on our blessings, and relationship with God , along with Matthew 5 helps us refocus on a daily basis.
Psalm 1 is beautifully simple and profound all in a very short psalm. It contrasts the way of the righteous and the wicked by describing the blessedness of the righteous who do not walk as the wicked do. We add to the message of this psalm from various other places in scripture to magnify its effect.
Many Christians would like to discredit or totally ignore the book of Genesis in the Bible. It forms the core of what comes throughout the rest of the Bible. Core principles are found in the first chapters of Genesis that we must not forget to review and remember.
We are in the midst of a season where we are hearing all around us (or have heard) a lot about Christ, why He was born on earth as a little child, and why we should be focused on that birth. Let’s see from God’s Word if we should be doing that, and why did Christ really come to the earth the first time?
Ancient Israel was warned over and over about Spiritual Poison. God is concerned about each one of His children, and our ability to fight off “spiritual poisons” that would take us away from Him and Eternal Life. We’ll examine some Spiritual Poisons in this message.
In Galatians 1:6-7, Paul warns the church not to depart from the gospel that he has preached to them of Jesus Christ and to resist those who preach another gospel. Even today, there are teachers who preach a false gospel to the church of God leading them astray from the original gospel that was revealed to the Apostle Paul directly by Jesus Christ. What is this false gospel and how does it conflict with the true gospel?
To understand that there are some things that all through our lives are necessary to happen, so we can grow and mature spiritually, and get closer to God.
Unfortunately many within the Church of God have been taught or believe that praying must follow exactly what the Model Prayer in Matthew 6:9-13 records. What we will examine during this message is what is it that God truly desires from us in prayer with Him?
