    I will encourage God’s people in my care to identify at least one person with whom they will share Jesus’ love between now and Easter Sunday.

    Introduction: What do you tend to notice as you travel around town? What kinds of things naturally catch your eye?

    Security comes to the redeemed from the Creator. Instead of fearing that man will take your security away, trust in the power that sets free the captives & provides for His own. He is the One who establishes what cannot be broken.

    ISAIAH 51: 9-16 THE LORD ESTABLISHES HIS PEOPLE [Luke 12:4-5] God is called upon to demonstrate His strength as in the days of old that His people’s sorrow might become joy. God then tells His people not to be afraid of ...read more

    In our passage this morning Paul writes to the Thessalonians and says that about times and dates he did not need to write to them, for they knew very well that the day of the Lord will come like a thief in the night. Time and dates. The real centerpiece

    All Christians need to plan for their financial future without hoarding their resources and becoming preoccupied with financial worries.

    INTRO: I’m a cheapskate when I go to fast food restaurants with my family. Instead of buying separate packages of fries for everyone, I usually try to save money by just getting one “biggie” size package. This works good for saving money. But with four of us trying to share one package, and two ...read more

    Excess is our problem.

    A familiar scene for us in scripture came early in Jesus’ ministry when a teacher of the law came to talk with Jesus by night. No one would see.

    Christ presents two great truths regarding the relationship of the Shepherd – Christ, and the sheep – the born-again child of God. Preservation and perseverance. One is performed by God alone, the other by the believer with the aid of the Holy Spirit.

The sheep He spoke of are those who have received His grace by hearing and responding to His call by yielding their lives to Him and following ...read more
