Why Did God create a “Church” or “Called Out Ones”? What’s the purpose for His Church? Are you and I fulfilling that purpose?
The purpose of this message is for us to pause and analyze and realize that in the midst of every trial we go through in our lives, we must rejoice not only for our own good, but also out of obedience to what God tells us we must do in the trials of life that He allows us to go through.
To remain physically healthy, we must have a daily routine of exercise to remain so. Even more importantly, we need to have a daily routine to stay Spiritually Healthy.
The Declaration of Independence includes the phrase “pursuit of happiness”. It is what the society around us is all about. Is that what our Christian lives are to be about also? God is more concerned about holiness than happiness, although holiness can lead us to happiness.
The book of Ruth has some deep insights into a Christian’s life. We’ll discover in looking at it how Mother’s Day and Pentecost have a commonality and glean some profound lessons about life, women, and God’s desire for us.
So often in history one man played a pivotal role in events. We examine both the positive and the negative examples in scripture and end with an encouragement for us to draw near to God, so that we can be that one man or woman to play a positive pivotal role in times of need or crisis.
One of the central points that was emphasized repeatedly by the apostles as they preached the gospel message was the resurrection of Jesus Christ – their message pointed people to a LIVING Savior.
Today I want to emphasize the positive reasons why I observe God’s Holy days, and see if you can agree.
Hopefully, they can teach us a lesson that will help us succeed in our Christian walk.
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.
