    God wants us to be positive about His work. We as believers should not have the “TGIF” attitude about the Work Of God.

    LET’S GET TO WORK TEXT: Hebrews 13:21 “Make you perfect in every good work to do his will, working in you that which is wellpleasing in his sight, through Jesus Christ; to whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen.” What do the initials TGIF mean. “Thank God It’s Friday” This can be positive or ...read more

    TEXT: 1 Timothy 4:7 TITLE: TRAIN YOURSELF TO BE GODLY The apostle Paul did not take for granted the godliness of his spiritual son Timothy.

    God’s sovereign choice in making us His children

    There was a problem in Galatia, People had forgotten about the truth of the Gospel.

    Be A Peacemaker Series

    based on 5 ratings
     | 8,521 views

    To make peace is not to compromise or avoid confrontation. Abraham set us a good example. We must have the desire to make peace, treasure the relationship, be generous in heart and avoid a self-centred view of things.

    JOHN PIPER says the cry of the beatitudes is this: “Get a new heart!” • They are not good suggestions, but what every Christian ought to be. • The beatitudes counter the false understanding that a person can be saved without being changed. Or: that a person can inherit eternal life even if his ...read more
