    Pharisee Or Holiness?

    Contributed by Craig Benner on Oct 22, 2014

    There are many who would argue that a Pharisee and one who believes in holiness are one in the same. I beg to differ. True holiness affects the external and the internal. It affects the acts and the attitude.

    Are you a Pharisee or are you Holiness? Let us see if there is a difference and determine to understand why some people have trouble differentiating between the two. Pharisee = a person in the role of religious service who believes that his or her title and/or office automatically make him or her ...read more

    Weightless Faith

    We hear Jesus say “My yoke is easy, My burden is light” (Mt. 11:30). And we choose to run with that “easy” life! We love to forget that He also said, ““If anyone would come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross and follow me” (Mt. 16:24)

    Weightless Faith Philippians 3:17-21 Is the Christian life only about avoiding wrong? Is an “Avoidance” lifestyle all that God expects of us or is there more? Like bringing Glory to God in faith by taking action! Serving others! We hear Jesus say “My yoke is easy, My burden is ...read more

    As we better understand what a true Christian is, we’ll have a better understanding of what a hypocrite is. 3 distinctives of genuine Christians: Real Christians Are Forgiven Sinners, Are Not What They Used To Be, and Are Becoming What They Will Be.

    We are impressed with zeal. Certainly the Jews of Jesus day had tremendous zeal; passion for what they believed. But zeal and passion can easily be focused on the wrong thing.

    The Pharisees did not experience life change because they had a different belief. Don't replace the relationship with a religion. Don't make the outward more important than the inward.

    RECAP – John 20:24-28. We saw last week how Thomas finally saw Jesus alive and uttered the most profound statement of faith – “My Lord and My God!” (1) LET GO of our Agenda – don’t cling on to the demands we set. (2) CHOOSE to have faith - faith is a choice ...read more
