    Living A Surrendered Life

    Contributed by Christopher Benfield on May 20, 2024
     | 1,973 views

    As believers, we are to live out the transformation that has taken place on the inside. It is easy to state that one is a believer and follower of Christ; it is an entirely different matter to live in such a way that others can see evidence of the professed relationship with Christ.

    Living a Surrendered Life Ephesians 4:25-32 We have discussed much in recent weeks regarding the obligations and responsibilities of believers within the body of Christ. Paul has painted a detailed picture of how the church should look and the witness presented unto a watching world. While the ...read more

     | 4,074 views

    If we are indwelled by the 9 characteristics/fruits of the Holy Spirit when we are saved, why is it then we have so many ’professing’ believers who seem to do whatever is in their power to steal the joy and kill the fellowship of the local church?

    One hat is a dress hat, the other is a work hat. When we profess to be Christian, we start wearing a hat. But which hat do we choose? Text, audio & Communion message will be placed at www.sermonlist.com

    Someone once asked, ‘What good are cowboys?’ I replied that without cowboys, there would be no cowboy songs or western movies or cowgirls.

    We all share an individual responsibility toward the truth we profess. We can never break the plan of God by our own inconsistencies, but our inconsistencies can break our own selves against the plan of God.

    The First in Line Scripture: Romans 3:1-4 (Romans 3:1-8) 1 What advantage, then, is there in being a Jew, or what value is there in circumcision? 2 Much in every way! First of all, they have been entrusted with the very words of God. 3 What if some did not have faith? Will their lack of faith ...read more

     | 8,924 views

    While most people --including many professing Christians -- indiscriminately follow the popular culture and focus their lives on either looks, materialism, popularity, success, power, prestige, or social acceptance -- why should we pursue God and godlines

    How Should We Then Live? 2 Peter 3:11-12, 17-18 1. I just came back from a pastor's conference, and I had a good time. We did not have too much free time, but I was able to work in a sermon outline and borrowed my room mate's computer to send the outline to Jane. . I brought two commentaries with ...read more

    The medical profession has made great progress in sustaining life over the last century. However, it would appear that at the end of these longer lives more people are going to hell than ever before. We need spiritual healing

    Mark 10:46-52 The medical profession has made great progress in sustaining life over the last century. The average age for an American is fast approaching 80.

    False Prophets

    Contributed by Stephen Belokur on Aug 11, 2016
     | 5,838 views

    When the people of Judah and Jerusalem were in exile in Babylon there were false prophets who professed to be speaking for the Lord but they were just telling the people what they wanted to hear. These false prophets exist today. Warn your people!

    Jeremiah 29:8-9, 15-23 (Ask the people to look up this passage as you make a few comments) Last Sunday we took a look at the part of this letter that pertained to the Jews who were taken into from Judah and Jerusalem.

    What is a Christian…really? Many believe they are Christian because they go to church. People profess and call themselves or identify as Christian, but are they truly saved? Unfortunately, today's definition lacks the biblical truth of what it means to be a Christian.

    [Palm Sunday.] Today we wave the palms as we come to this table … a sign that our sin has come to end. Today we wave the palms and come to this table as we profess our desire to serve God wholeheartedly.

    Palm Sunday. A perfect example of the fact that Jesus’ Disciples and His followers get it … and don’t get it. They get that He is a king … a leader … a prophet and messiah sent by God … but … a king … a leader … a prophet … a messiah who rides into the Jerusalem on colt … not a great stallion or ...read more

    In this passage Paul describes some changes that should mark the life of a believer. He sets the bar of Christian living very high for himself and for all those who profess to follow him as he follows the Lord Jesus Christ.

    A Colony Of Heaven Philippians 3:13-21 “Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended: but [this] one thing [I do], forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before, I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus. ...read more

    God saved you to bear fruit for Jesus Christ. If you profess to be a Christian, but you aren’t bearing fruit, you need to examine yourself and make some course corrections before it’s too late.

    Knowing the limits of their power and influence in a hostile environment, Peter encouraged them to live above reproach by living a wholesome life, a good profession, and being always ready to give an answer to everyone who ask their reason for hoping in Christ.

    There is a sobering reality we must confront: many Christians profess faith in God with their lips but deny Him with their lives. This isn’t a problem exclusive to modern times—it has been a spiritual tension since the early church.

    Go! And Remember God Is Real - Titus 1:16 Why Do Christians Often Live As If God Does Not Exist? Titus 1:16 (NLT): "Such people claim they know God, but they deny him by the way they live. They are detestable and disobedient, worthless for doing anything good." Introduction: My ...read more

    The Holy Spirit teaches us by enlightening the mind of the simple, ignorant and naive who are not fully aware of the gaps that exist between their professing ideals and their living realities. Paul wrote, "I keep asking that the God of our Lord Jesus Chri
