     | 3,091 views

    Why is it that we can express our love and devotions to our Lord Jesus when together with the church, but fail to do so when we are going on with our daily lives?

    Alba 6-13-2021 UNASHAMED Romans 1:16-17 I remember the decision when I chose to become a Christian. I was nine years old. We didn't have children's church in those days, so I attended church with my parents from the time I was born. Somehow, the minister's messages began to ...read more

I haven’t even worn so much as a hat since I reached the age of 13, much less a helmet. So when we spilled, we spilled, ...read more

    based on 39 ratings

    The New Testament church operated in power not weakness. So many congregations are failing, weak, troubled, and dying because they’re operating out of human power and not the power of the Holy Spirit.

    We all made promises to God. I will do this or that. We have boasted and bragged and let the Lord down. Jesus is forgiving to our failings and restores us to the work of the church.

    A look at why Saul was rejected, but David was called a man after Gods own heart even though they both failed. It was because David, trusted God, was humble, and knew how to repent.

    Too many Christians settle for being forgiven and fail to recognize that dead sinners do not disobey God. We can live in obedience because we are alive to God and dead to sin.

    My purpose is to be the Holy Spirit’s second witness calling God’s people in my care to surrender their lives to Jesus and to live in obedience to him. Response Goal: Individuals prompted by the Holy Spirit will surrender their lives to God in prayer – at the altar rail if they want to prayer ...read more
