    These two verses provide a blueprint for each of us as we seek to move toward spiritual maturity, and become like Christ. Since we are disciples of Christ, and if we are ever to become like Christ, we will need to "grow up" in these basic areas.

    Growing Up Luke 2:40, 52 As we move away from the Christmas season, we move into the uncomfortable encounters with Christ. Both Christmas and the Resurrection Season are comfortable seasons. They are seasons that emphasize grace, God’s love, and His sacrifice. But as we move into the interlude, ...read more

    A sermon that looks at Psalm 23 verse 5. God has prepared a table before it but we need to come to it in the right way. I have included more than I preached because I thought the extra illustrations would help others.

    Ever run a marathon or made a major physical effort? When you finish a marathon you become desperate for a drink and a meal and indeed while you are running you mind is often going ahead of you that the banquet ahead of you is worth finishing the race for.

    Sermon delivered at Tree Of Life Messianic Congregation 3Aug19. A well known Christian author and pastor recently renounced his faith and said he just doesn't think he is a Christian any longer. Is there hope for this man? Is he now lost?

    It’s a great comfort to know that Jesus never abandons us, that God will finish what He started in the Christian life. I look closer into this verse and give 4 points into Christ’s character that will encourage every person.

    Title: Having Great Confidence In One Thing! Text: Phil 1:3-11 (Key verse 6) Pray!!! Read Text!!!

    I’m convinced that one of the most difficult things that the Scripture asks us to do is found in Romans 12:15. That verse says, “Rejoice with those who rejoice; mourn with those who mourn.”

    MELVIN NEWLAND, MINISTER RIDGE CHAPEL, KANSAS, OK (Revised: 2014) ILL. It’s Thanksgiving Day & the aroma of roast turkey fills Charlie Brown’s house.

    Other lies state that Jesus did not bring forth a new Testament, AKA, Religion. These next verses prove that that statement is misleading. For without a New Testament the gentile race would have no chance for salvation.

    The Lies of False Religion. Conclusion Lets look at these next verses and see what a false religion is. 1Jo 4:3 And every spirit that confesseth not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is not of God: and this is that spirit of anti-christ, whereof ye have heard that it should come; and even now ...read more

    In these concluding verses on the resurrection, Paul is talking about our future change, our transformation. Our metamorphoses. So, today, I would like to look at the changes we will go through at the time of the resurrection.

    MY TRANSFORMATION BY THE RESURRECTION 1 CORINTHIANS 15:50-58 INTRODUCTION: I am sure that most, if not all of us have seen the caterpillar spin his cocoon and after a period of time emerges as a butterfly.

    First Things First

    Contributed by Larry La Douceur on Nov 6, 2005
    based on 17 ratings
     | 7,011 views

    Some form of the word “Seek” is used in the Bible over 150 times, therefore when we encounter a verse that clearly states we are to “seek first” something, that should clearly get our attention.

    First Things First Introduction Matthew 6:33 But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well. The bible in different ways tells us what we need to seek for and what we should not seek. Examples – Leviticus 19:31 “‘Do not turn to mediums or seek ...read more

    Tonight we are going to look at the first 18 verses of James chapter 1. We’ve called it, “Quick, go get the umbrella” because James is trying to get them prepared for the storm.

    Verse 2 of this study really tells it all. Paul knew Timothy would be dealing with very difficult days, so in his last letter, he sends a message filled with hope in mercy and peace.

    In these five verses Jesus sets forth 1) the original Mosaic teaching, 2) the traditional perversion of that teaching, and 3) His own reemphasis of what God’s standard for truth has always been.

    Whether you are a child or an adult, Truth is so scarce that nearly everyone is suspect. Business people, advertisers, commentators, clerks, salesmen, lawyers, doctors, tradesmen, teachers, writers, politicians, and even many, if not most, preachers are suspect.
