    Contributed by James Jackson on Nov 12, 2021
     | 2,885 views

    The way the world understands being blessed couldn't be more different from the Bible's definition. Spoiler alert: The Bible gets it right.

    Blessed Broken Given, Week 2: Blessed vs. #Blessed Genesis 1; Matthew 5 Good morning. I’d like you to have your Bibles open to two different places. (Weird, I know). The first place will be Genesis 1. Then, I’d like you to put a bookmark in Matthew 5. We are continuing the series we started last ...read more

    The story is told of a young farmer who was drafted into the Confederate army to serve during the Civil War.

This one young man was drafted and never had time to learn how: • To salute. • To keep in step as he marched. • Even, to know what the ...read more

    The message this Sunday will look at our attitude towards God’s word, and how we approach it, because that is what determines its effectiveness in our lives. We will look at this through Paul’s missionary travels to Thessalonica and Berea.

    The Tale of Two Cities Acts 17:1-15 ** Watch at: https://youtu.be/XGSvRuwVCGo Now, when I came up with the title of today’s message, my immediate reaction was towards the book written by Charles Dickens back in 1879, and the two cities were Paris and London.

    Jesus gave His disciples a commission to go and preach; to not only do good deeds, but use words. He would provide them food, clothing, and shelter for their journey, and the Spirit would guide them to those receptive to the gospel.

    I have entitled our sermon this morning, “An Extraordinary Commission,” and this will be Part 2. The word “extra-ordinary” means “outside, above and beyond the ordinary,” which is what we saw in our last message, when Jesus gave His disciples “power over unclean spirits” (Matthew 10:1); and ...read more
