    Joy is the result of Faithfully Following Jesus Christ. Psalm 5:11 “Let all those that put their trust in thee rejoice: let them ever shout for joy, because thou defendest them: let them also that love thy name be joyful in thee.”

    How Giving Works (Re:gift)

    Contributed by Scott Jensen on Oct 15, 2019
     | 4,898 views

    Many people give out of guilt. The apostle Paul says we should give with joy! The only way we can do this is if we first realized just how joyfully generous God has been to us. When we see His joyful generosity, that encourages us to be joyfully generous ourselves.

    Opening and Introduction In our lesson tonight, we hear about farmers that plant seeds. If a farmer doesn’t plant, there won’t be anything to harvest later in the year. His livelihood depends on generously planting as many seeds as he can. This passage uses a lot of farming imagery. But what ...read more

    Hebrews 4:10 confronts us with a liberating, life-altering truth: real discipleship begins not with striving, but with resting in the finished work of Jesus Christ. This is Gospel-centred obedience flowing from faith, not fear.

    Entering God’s Rest: The Finished Work That Forms True Disciples - Hebrews 4:10 (NLT) Introduction: The Weariness of a Restless Age We live in an exhausted generation. Burnout is worn like a badge of honour. Hustle is praised, rest is postponed, and worth is measured by productivity. Even ...read more

    Zechariah announces the divine blessing of faithful obedience to be realized during that time & in full during the future Messianic Age. At that time God's people will rejoice with great joy, gladness & experience popularity.

    ZECHARIAH 8: 18-23 WHEN FASTING BECOMES FEASTING In the previous chapter Zechariah proclaimed to the people the mere externals and empty ritualism in their observance of the fasts as well as pointing out to them the sins and transgression which caused their suffering (7:1-7). He also gave them ...read more

    David isn’t so much a "Raider," but a "parader" of the lost Ark, and from this episode come some truths for us on obedience and worship.

    PARADERS OF THE LOST ARK 2 SAMUEL 6:1-15 INTRODUCTION: One of my favorite movies is "Raiders of the Lost Ark". It is the first of three films that feature Indiana Jones, in all kinds of high adventure and perilous escapes. “Raiders,” the first of the trilogy, is set during the period of WW II ...read more

     | 7,462 views

    So that we do not become spiritually drowsy, we learn to take inventory of our spiritual lives through remembrance, obedience, and repentance.

    THERE IS NOTHING WORSE THAN DEAD ORTHODOXY AND DEAD TRADITIONALISM IN A DEAD CHURCH. A DEAD CHURCH WHERE NOBODY JOINS, GETS SAVED OR FEELS COMPELLED TO PUT FORTH ANY EFFORT INTO THE CHURCH’S MINISTRIES. NO WONDER THE LORD CAME UPON SARDIS AND TOLD THEM TO "WAKE UP!" SARDIS WAS A CHURCH THAT WAS ...read more

    Faith, the foundation of obedience to God, has a rich history of dynamic characters. Today’s challenge is to hold on to the object and content of Christian faith.

    Heroes of Faith: Abel, Enoch, Noah, Abraham, Sarah, Isaac, Jacob, Joseph, Moses, Rahab, Gideon, Barak, Samson, Jephthah, David, Samuel, and the prophets. Hebrews 11 is a sort of survey of Old Testament faith leaders. The names that receive the most attention are Abraham and Moses. The central ...read more

    Using the method that Jethro gave to Moses, we can learn the steps it takes to become an obedient and fruitful church through competent leadership.

    WHEN IT COMES TO SPIRITUAL LEADERSHIP WITHIN THE CHURCH IT CAN BE SAID WITH ASSURANCE THAT MORE FAILURE COMES FROM AN EXCESS OF CAUTION THAN FROM THE BOLD EXPERIMENTS WITH NEW IDEAS. WE NEED BOLD AND DARING LEADERS TO HELP GUIDE CHRIST’S CHURCH UNASHAMEDLY INTO THE UNCHARTED AREAS OF GOD’S ...read more

    While Samson obeyed his calling through disobedience, anger and revenge, Jesus obeyed His calling out of obedience faith and love.

    Obeying the Calling I want to go back to a time over a thousand years BC, to the tribe of Dan. A time, after the great leaders of Moses and Joshua, and before the succession of kings. It is the Dark ages of Israel’s history. There is no succession of godly leaders: Judges 21:25 In those days ...read more
