    Living A Holy Life 2

    Attempts to reveal all the activities that cause unholiness and shows how holy-living can be enforced in one’s life when it seems difficult to remain holy.

    Sexual immorality will easily come to mind as an agent of defilement of a holy life; furthermore, a person who has indulged in making the body unclean has also grieved the Holy Spirit and is about crucifying Jesus a second time! (Ephesians 4:30, Hebrews 6:6). We have been taught in the scripture ...read more

    God invites us to surrender our old ways, receive a new heart, and experience true transformation through His Spirit and renewing our minds.

    Some mornings feel like reruns. Same burdens. Same battles. Same buttons being pushed by the same people. You wake up with good intentions, yet old habits hang on like heavy coats in summer. You want to change. You’ve promised to change. You’ve tried to change. Still, the mirror shows yesterday’s ...read more

    If we surrender our lives over to God He will give us His strength and we have nothing to fear from this world.

    Intro: He was a professional thief. His name stirred fear as the desert wind stirs tumbleweeds. He terrorized the Wells Fargo stage line for thirteen years, roaring like a tornado in and out of the Sierra Nevada’s, spooking the most rugged frontiersmen.

    1. Jesus Christ humbled himself. 2. Jesus Christ surrendered himself. 3. Jesus Christ gave himself to save us.

    The Apostle’s Creed, which we are studying, is a creed of contrasts. Listen to the stark opposites to which we profess faith: “I believe in Jesus Christ, his only Son our Lord, who was conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of the virgin Mary.” From that great pronouncement of Christ’s uniqueness, ...read more

    As much as Jesus calls for complete surrender, he also makes that call of ordinary people - putting discipleship within all of our grasp

    For Jesus, Gethsemane was a place of worship, a place to surrender his will to the Father; for Judas, it was a place to completely betray Jesus. No location can substitute for the heart.

    Gethsemane: Place for Prayer, Place for Betrayal (Matthew 26:36-50) 1. I found a strange article Friday titled, “Bear Saves Man in Mountain Lion Attack.” 2. “Robert Biggs, 69, who often hikes in the Whisky Flats area, came across a mother bear and her cubs, which were about 40 feet from where he ...read more

    In the spiritual battle we need to be sure that our hearts are directed by God and not surrendered to Satan. The breastplate of righteousness keeps your heart right.

    Covered by Righteousness Ephesians 6:10-14 10 Finally, be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power. 11 Put on the full armor of God so that you can take your stand against the devil’s schemes. 12 For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, ...read more

    The Church is looking for better methods; God is looking for better men. Prayer makes the man when he is broken down and surrendered to God.

    This sermon shows how loving one another is the mark of a true Christian and once we surrender our lives to Christ everyone will notice.

    Love One Another I've finished another book called “stop asking Jesus into your heart” by J.D. Grier. The title makes it seem as if you shouldn't be a Christian. But it really deals with those who doubt their salvation so much that they feel like they have to constantly ask Jesus ...read more

    Big Idea: Saul grasped for control, while David trusted God’s timing. True kingship is not measured by force but by surrender to the Lord.

    They say, “timing is everything.” And you don’t have to be a musician to know that’s true — although if you’ve ever sung the wrong verse while everyone else moved on to the chorus, you know how awkward bad timing can be. Think about how much of life depends on timing. Arriving five minutes late to ...read more

    Following Jesus requires surrender and steadfast devotion, even when His teachings are difficult, trusting that true life is found only in Him.

    If you’ve ever sat at the kitchen table late at night with a lukewarm cup of coffee and a heavy heart, wondering why following Jesus can feel so wonderfully right and yet wonderfully hard, you’re in good company. The Gospels show real people with real questions, listening to a real Savior who ...read more
