“1 Peter 2:5 – In His Hands, We Are Built”
Messages
In Luke 12:1, Christ specifically addressed the “Leaven of the Pharisees.” We’ll examine the two fold aspect of this instruction to His disciples. What Christ addressed is every bit as relevant today as it was back then.
We will focus on the scriptures that speak about Christ’s suffering, sacrifice, and death of Jesus Christ, and why He did what He did?
In today’s hypocritical society, an empty appearance of virtue and righteousness is equated with actual virtue and righteousness. This empty appearance is referred to as “virtue signaling” which allows convenient vacuous words and slogans to reflect virtue and righteousness instead of the actual actions which are virtuous and righteous. Our Heavenly Father requires virtuous and righteous actions and not just convenient passive words in our daily lives. Are you virtue signaling in your spiritual life?
Scripture speaks of the Mind and the Heart. The Word that became Jesus Christ is the great Communicator. What can we learn from His example during His earthly ministry in our communication as God’s children?
Sometimes it can easy to overlook an offering that God commanded to be performed during the Days of Unleavened Bread that points to our savior, Jesus Christ.
The Book of Haggai talks about a blessing that is for the whole world. There is something within this book that can help us understand Christ’s sacrifice, His leadership, and blessing much deeper if we’ll just look closer.
Should we participate in the late winter early spring celebration of Mardi Gras? To answer this question, we examine the origin of its celebration in the United States and trace the roots of it back to early church history after the death of the original apostles to find that it has no basis in scripture or in what was taught by the first century church. We find that it is related to pagan festivals and practices that God condemns in scripture.
