    Sermon # 32 - A Life That God Rejoices Over Series

    Contributed by Andrew Dixon on Jul 2, 2025
    based on 1 rating
     | 398 views

    We are made in the image of God and our emotions too are expressions of the way God feels about us. It’s good to examine ourselves to see if God rejoices over us or is He grieved about us. Also the plans we make should always be in alignment with God’s will so He does not have to scorn them.

    We read in Zephaniah 3:17, “The LORD your God is mighty in your midst; He will save; He will rejoice over you with joy; He will rest in His love; He rejoices over you with singing.” (AFV) We also read in Psalm 2:4, “From his throne in heaven the Lord laughs and mocks their feeble plans.” (GNB) It ...read more

    Joy becomes the fragrance of a heart touched by the gospel, where obedience grows not from pressure but from Christ living within us.

    INTRODUCTION — CHILDREN’S SONG I want to begin tonight with something simple— something every one of us learned before we could spell “theology.” A children’s song. We didn’t realize it at the time, but that little song was preaching to us long before we understood it: “I’ve got the joy, joy, ...read more

    We’re to respect other believers and strive to live in peace with everyone. We’re also called to communicate what people need to hear, remembering to be patient with everyone.

    Modern churches often fail to worship because they do not recognise the centrality of preaching for worship. We would do well to recall the instruction Paul gave Timothy.

    2 TIMOTHY 4:1-5 THE MINISTRY OF THE WORD IN EVIL DAYS “I charge you in the presence of God and of Christ Jesus, who is to judge the living and the dead, and by his appearing and his kingdom: preach the word; be ready in season and out of season; reprove, rebuke, and exhort, with complete patience ...read more

    Discovering Your Destiny In Christ Series

    Contributed by Manny Salva Cruz on Jul 11, 2016
     | 12,381 views

    God has a good plan for our lives and we can discover our destiny in Christ by making daily decisions in submission to His Word through the power of the Holy Spirit. This is the lesson we can learn from the last chapter of Ruth.

    There is a vast difference between FATE and DESTINY. Fate is usually thought of as a predetermined course of events beyond the human control. A typical response of a person who believes in fate is resignation - if we can't change destiny, then why even try? Whatever happens, happens and we can't do ...read more
