    The Beatitudes teach us that being blessed is not based on recieving blessing. Being blessed is a matter of having a blessed attitude.

    A BLESSED ATTITUDE ”A Brief Look into the Beatitudes” TEXT - Matthew 5:1-12 The principles Jesus is teaching in the text are commonly referred to as the “Beatitudes” because the word “blessed” at the beginning of each verse is translated from the Latin word “Beati” and because this should be ...read more

    The directive to the citizen of the kingdom of God is "seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness." The pursuit of the kingdom should be the organizing principle of every follower of Christ. Christian parents are called to embrace this pursuit a

    TRAINING KINGDOM KIDS PROVERBS 22:6 "Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it." INTRODUCTION: Jesus taught the importance of children.

    He Sure Doesn't Look Like Much

    Contributed by Eloy Gonzalez on Jan 10, 2004

     | 5,847 views

    Baptism of Our Lord: Many people missed the Messiah because ’He sure didn’t look like much.’ But veiled in flesh and blood, fulfilling all righteousness, was God Himself.

    Just a few weeks ago we celebrated the birth of the Savior. God – the eternal, the almighty Logos – the second Person of the Trinity – became flesh and blood, like we are. There He lay, in a manger in a stable. And He needed tending to. Mother needed to feed Him and change his diapers and comfort ...read more

    Dead & Alive Series

    based on 94 ratings
     | 9,178 views

    Consider yourself dead to sin and alive to God in Christ Jesus, and in response exercise your will to put to death that which belongs to the old life, presenting your bodies to God as instruments of righteousness.

    There’s a debate that’s been around for as long as the gospel has been proclaimed and that’s over the question "Does it matter if we sin, now that we know Christ’s forgiveness?" Should we punish ourselves when we succumb to temptation? Does the righteousness we now have because we believe in Jesus ...read more

    James teaches that God is tremendoulsy jealous over all his children and does everything possible within the confines of His righteousness to make His grace available for those that will obey Him.

    INTRODUCTION #19 1. Open your bible to James 4:4-6. 2. We’ve already discussed v. 4, but it is important to read it again. It will serve as an introduction to vs. 5&6. 3.

    You've Got Wrath!

    Moses at Meribah is a prime example of James’ statement that "the wrath of man worketh not the righteousness of God.’ Moses let himself get distracted and apparently never really learned his lesson.

    Numbers 20:1-13 James tells us something very important in James 1:19-20 “Wherefore, my beloved brethren, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath: For the wrath of man worketh not the righteousness of God.” The New International Version replaces the word “wrath” with ...read more

    In Genesis 18:22 there is still HOPE for Sodom as Abraham stands in the gap. God's righteousness as well as His justice walked towards Sodom that day while His grace conversed with Abraham.

    Part 6 - Genesis 18:16-33 - CRASHED AND BURNED! CRASHED AND BURNED! All my computer files from the last 10 years gone! No full back-ups so no way of retrieving it all.

    Before the Cross, Jesus did His best to teach us those things we would need to know. The Holy Spirit convicts the world of three things: Sin, Righteousness and Judgment.

    John Chapter 16 This chapter begins with Jesus still talking about the hatred of the world! Read verse 1 “These things I have spoken to you” are the things Jesus talked about in chapter 15. Read verses 2,3 Jesus didn’t want the disciples to be offended at the things that would happen to ...read more

    If God were to perform a miracle tonight and you woke up tomorrow completely committed to seeking first God's Kingdom and His righteousness, what would your life look like?

    SEEKING FIRST THE KINGDOM OF GOD Text: Matthew 6:25-33 Introduction 1.

    Guidelines For Christianity: Blessed Are The Pure In Heart Series

     | 5,182 views

    Purity isn’t just being clean; it’s being single-minded and intentionally focused. In this instance, God wants us to be focused on His kingdom and righteousness.

    Tonight we’re going to look at the next attitude Jesus said we’re to have as His disciples. – “Blessed are the pure in heart: for they shall see God.” I wonder what that means, for they shall see God. Remember we said that “Blessed” means happy. We ...read more

    The Parable Of The Prayers Series

    Contributed by Dennis Davidson on Nov 10, 2014

     | 29,078 views

    The focus is humility in prayer out of a realization that righteousness can not be reached by means of our own efforts. Prayers are heard & answered because of God's mercy not because of our self-justifying merits.

    LUKE 18: 9-14 [PARABLES IN LUKE] THE PARABLE OF THE PRAYERS [Luke 11:39-11;54] In this section Jesus tells a story of a Pharisee and a tax collector. Both were sincere and devout.
