    Measuring A Strong Christian

    Contributed by Graham Kettle on Feb 26, 2024
     | 1,338 views

    Samuel was sent to anoint David as Israel's new king. He soon learned that God’s measure for a person was very different from man’s. The same is still true. God’s measure for us to apply is vastly different than that used by many people today, even inside the church.

    MEASURING A STRONG CHRISTIAN 1. INTRODUCTION When Samuel was sent to anoint David as the new king of Israel, he learned that God’s measure of a person was different than man’s: 1 Sam 16:6,7 When they arrived, Samuel saw Eliab and thought, “Surely the Lord’s anointed stands here before the ...read more

    Both of our texts describe persecuted believers.Is persecution something that we should avoid or embrace? In a minute I will attempt to answer that question, but before I do let’s see what we can learn about persecution.

    Revelation 7:1-17; 14:1-5 Purpose: To highlight God’s grace toward His faithful followers. Aim: I want the listener to rejoice in the advantages of persecution. INTRODUCTION: Last time, we finished looking at the first six seals (or chapters) from the sacred book that only the Lamb of God could ...read more

    Recycling Our Pain Series

    Our scripture for today falls into this category of verses I don’t understand when I first read them. Here it is. Happy are those who are persecuted.

    “Recycling our Pain” Matthew 5:10 In my personal study of the gospels one of the things I have noticed is that some of the teachings of Jesus are just very difficult for us to follow. At times when we read them they don’t even make sense. For instance, Jesus said: • If ...read more

    Being a Christian means a lot more than going to church on Sunday morning. God wants us to live our life of love 24/7.

    Almost nine months ago, we sent out postcards announcing the opening of our church here in Doral. The first postcard that we sent out had the picture of a young woman on it who is quoted as saying: “When I walked out of my parent’s church, I never thought I’d walk back in. For me church was all ...read more

    Glory Of Christian Leadership

     | 657 views

    Many people treated Jesus like a celebrity as they followed Him from place to place, listened to His teaching, observed His miracles, and sought healing from His touch. Yet Jesus was never self-important or aloof, but available to all.

    Opening illustration: In today’s celebrity-obsessed culture, it isn’t surprising that entrepreneurs are marketing “celebrities as products … allowing them to sell their personal time and attention.” Vauhini Vara’s article in The New Yorker noted that for $15,000, you can have a personal meeting ...read more
