    Jesus did not celebrate the seventh day Sabbath according to the traditions of men but according to the "Spirit of the Law" and to fulfill the Mosaic Covenant.

    Sabbath: Jesus and the Sabbath Here is the previous CONTEXT for today’s message: Genesis 2:1: The Sabbath was a Holy Day for man to Delight in God as The Creator.

    Tenants, Taxes, And Eternity Series

    Man will only (ever) think of himself and what he can get out of God. It's important to realize that what our government asks for is different than what God requires of us. He requires us to obey Him, in EVERYTHING we do.

    Tenants, Taxes, and Eternity Mark 12:1-27 - Jesus is demonstrated in this book as a “servant” - Jesus’ teachings, while difficult for some to deal with, are always timely -- God always allows us to hear from Him at just the right time - Tonight I’d like to give ...read more

     | 3,851 views

    I want to change your thinking when it comes to God’s command for one day of rest. I want you to think more about what you are commanded to do rather than what you are not commanded to do.

    We are in a series featuring the Ten Commandments. We began with an overview of the scene when the Ten Commandments were first given in Exodus 19. And now we find ourselves examining the fourth commandment. Today’s Scripture “Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy. Six days you shall labor, ...read more

    Throughout His ministry, Jesus was accused of breaking the Sabbath laws, and it is true that He broke them. They were part of the old covenant that God made with Israel. He had come to bring a new covenant based on grace.

    Kindness

    Contributed by Richard Tow on Aug 22, 2021

    The message encourages Christians to cooperate with the Holy Spirit in the development of kindness in their character. Evidence of biblical kindness in our lives is explored as well as Issues that undermine kindness.

    Today’s message is very simply entitled “Kindness.” Are you a kind person? The Pharisees of Jesus day were very religious, but they were not kind. Their attitude toward other people was condescending, arrogant, and condemning. This attitude came out in John 7. Jesus was at the temple teaching ...read more

    When we look back at the life of Jesus, I find it helpful to look at it in segments and each segment comes with a theme. We see his birth and dedication in the temple; we’ll call that phase one.

    Be Practical, Not Legalistic Series

    Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Oct 30, 2021

     | 3,008 views

    Jesus taught the Pharisees how He desires sincere love for people over meaningless ritual, and how He desires grace over legalism. Those who adhere to ritual and tradition are often unable to love others or worship God.

    In our message today, we will see how Jesus taught the Pharisees that forgiveness and grace toward others is a necessity before worship. The capacity to extend love and mercy is something that must be present in a person’s heart before he or she is able to worship the Lord in spirit and truth, as ...read more

    Everybody is religious. Many make up their own rules - about worship, about money, about sex, about the environment, about politics. Jesus isn't the Messiah many want Him to be. The Pharisees plotted to kill him. People today reject Him and dismiss Him and ignore Him. Are you a Pharisee?

    ON THE SABBATH MATTHEW 12:1-2 At that time Jesus went through the grainfields on the Sabbath. His disciples were hungry and began to pick some heads of grain and eat them. When the Pharisees saw this, they said to him, “Look! Your disciples are doing what is unlawful on the Sabbath.” Question: ...read more
