     | 905 views

    Bottomline: Joy flourishes when we treasure knowing Christ above all else.

    Over the past several weeks we’ve been working our way through Paul’s letter to the Philippians and we’ve discovered how joy isn’t something that simply happens to us. It’s a deliberate response to the realities of who Christ is and what He’s done in our lives. We've explored how joy can ...read more

    Finding True Blessedness (Part 2) Series

    Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on May 30, 2023
    based on 1 rating
     | 2,015 views

    This message covers the last six verses of The Beatitudes. The word "blessed" in the text refers to more than just peace and happiness. It means "a divine and godlike joy." Jesus was saying, "Joyful are those who possess these inward qualities."

    I have entitled our message this morning, “Finding True Blessedness (Part 2).” As we get started, I should remind us that the words of Jesus seen in our passage are called “The Beatitudes,” and that the word “beatitude” comes from a Latin term meaning “blessedness.”(1) But the term “blessed” used ...read more

    On being hungry and thristy for true revival.

    This morning we heard read to us from Jesus’ words of prayer for His disciples in JOHN 17. He prayed the Father that He would “SANCTIFY us by the truth”. This is the next great theme we are coming to in our series on the things “We believe . . .” the great theme of SANCTIFICATION. God’s great ...read more

    Grace From Galatians (12 Of 19)

    Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Mar 8, 2022
     | 2,054 views

    This is Paul’s fourth appeal to try to get them to come to their senses.

    As we have seen, Paul does not understand why these backsliding Galatian Christians wanted to return to the bondage of the law. In this appeal, he seems to appeal to their common sense, something that many in this country seem to have lost. Illus: I saw this sad announcement and thought about ...read more

    The Yoke And The Burden

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Jul 13, 2013
     | 6,670 views

    What does it mean that Jesus imposes a light yoke and easy burden?

    The short passage we just heard from St. Matthew can be interpreted on many levels, but I’d like to focus on what the original meaning probably was. The image given is of a pair of oxen, tied together with a heavy wooden yoke, and harnessed to a plow. Jesus promises a yoke that is easier, ...read more

    When we respond faithfully to those people God puts before us, we will also fulfill part of God's purpose for our lives---and we will be worshiping God in a faith-filled manner.

    We all know the story of the three wise men who came to see the baby Jesus after he was born, but did you know that there is a story about a fourth wise man? The story says that he left with the other three to follow the start in search of the baby Jesus. Along the way he was constantly distracted ...read more
