     | 13,150 views

    Motive is what is dealt with, & the church today needs to examine the motive for our ministries. We know what we are doing, but do we know why we are doing it? Many a good work is ruined before God because of a bad motive.

    GALATIANS 6: 11-18 MARKED BY FREEDOM [2 Corinthians 11:18-33] The Holy Spirit inspired Paul to add these closing words to give one more contrast between the legalists & the Spirit-led Christians. The Spirit-led live for the glory of Christ, not the praise of man. Motive is what is dealt ...read more

    based on 5 ratings
     | 20,617 views

    Jesus didn’t come to save you from your circumstances. He came to save you from your sins. Even though the people were looking for a Lion King to come save them from the Romans, Jesus came as a Lamb to the slaughter so he could really save them.

    A Palm Sunday Hosanna Matthew 21:1-11 As they approached Jerusalem and came to Bethphage on the Mount of Olives, Jesus sent two disciples, 2 saying to them, "Go to the village ahead of you, and at once you will find a donkey tied there, with her colt by her. Untie them and bring them to me. 3 If ...read more
