    1. Where are you drawing your strength from? 2. Are you relying on tradition, law, race, rank, religion, or sincerity? 3. Do you expect recognition when helping out someone in need?

    The Source of Our Strength- Philippians 3:1-11 Introduction: We all fall into the trap of comparing ourselves with others around us.

    We have a choice. We can live out the last years of life fearful of growing old, of being helpless, of being a burden, or we can live in great expectation of our Savior’s return.

    MELVIN M. NEWLAND, MINISTER RIDGE CHAPEL, KANSAS, OK (REVISED: 2019) TEXT: Philippians 3:12-21; 1 Timothy 1:13-15 ILL. Look at the picture of the man up on the screen.

    Rearranging Micah 6 shows us that Micah had characterized the religiosity of Judah in ways that are comparable to our religiosity. But justice, compassion, and the humble walk are much more than we expected, and are our responses to grace.

    Takoma Park Baptist Church, Washington, DC August 24, 1986 Several years ago I went back to school for work on a graduate degree.

    New Year’s resolutions are easily broken. New Year’s expectations are a work in progress throughout the entire year. Jesus taught us what is most important in our lives in His Sermon on the Mount.

    The trouble with turning over a new leaf is that once you’ve done it twice, you’re right back where you started. What was the greatest blessing for you last year? The whole year, January through December, on what one day did you find your greatest blessing? It may have been the day your ...read more

    When God originates, He orchestrates. God will grant us the strength we need to finish His work. Expect challenges when doing God's will. Choose to look at problems with eyes of faith, not fear.

    Nehemiah 2:11-20 Overcoming All Odds ES 30Jan11 2072 What God originates, He orchestrates. • It started off with a burden, and a desire to do something. Nehemiah shared this with God. • God puts the pieces in place (so to speak) and Nehemiah got what he needed. The will of God never ...read more

    The price of Redemption had been paid at the Cross, however until Jesus brought His precious blood into the Holy of Holies made without hands, the Redemption of the purchased possession (THE CHURCH) was still in expectation, not possession.

    Romans 8:1-4, 35-39 Why could Paul say this? -Because he knew that Jesus came to make “redemption of the transgressions that were under the first testament.” Heb. 9:15 -Because he knew that the Law was a “shadow of good things to come.” Heb. 10:1 -Because he knew that ...read more

    Today many Christians are "mentally unprepared" to enter their Promised Land and receive the inheritance their Father gave them before the foundation of the world. Joshua ! gives an O.T. example of what is expected of us in the N.T,

    Many Christians, including me, are not walking in the place where God can work through them to enforce what Jesus has already obtained for us – total and complete victory over Satan and his demonic kingdom.
