“1 Peter 2:5 – In His Hands, We Are Built”
Messages
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?
Abraham shows each one of us a model we can emulate of the structure of faithful obedience to God and how we must walk in faithful obedience to God throughout the years of our lives, through testing and trials that will complete our faith.
Idolatry has been around as long as man has. We’ll take a closer look at what idolatry is, and see that there is much more to this sin than meets the eye, and how it applies directly to us today.
In many ways, the Church is like an orchestra. An orchestra is comprised of many different musicians, all playing their own individual parts with musical skill and all following the direction of the conductor. The Church is comprised of many people called out by our Heavenly Father, all performing and refining their own individual roles and responsibilities that our Heavenly Father has given them and all following the direction and example of our Savior, Jesus the Anointed One.
“The earliest Hallowe’en celebrations [in Britain] were held by the Druids in honor of Samhain, (31 Oct) — *Irish Gaelic for “summer’s end.” It’s interesting to note in the study of human culture that the culture of every tribe, nation, state, or religion in human history has developed and established various days for worship and celebration. Let’s again analyze this holiday from a perspective we may not have given much thought about. Is it from God, and/or should it be observed? Is it just a fun holiday for the kiddies? You might be surprised what Halloween really is.
