    Theme: You are called to a life of righteousness Text: Lev. 19:1-2, 17-18; 1 Cor. 3:16-23; John 3:7-14 One important question that affects the quality of our life and that has been asked in every age and generation is where do I come from? Why am I here? And where am I going? Unfortunately many ...read more

    based on 2 ratings
     | 6,054 views

    Jesus is not interested in rules which people can point to as the outward manifestation of some arbitrary rule-driven form of righteousness. He is interested in the heart.

    There are many traditions in the world. One of those traditions is to have a liturgical calendar and today, May 27 happens to be the Day of Pentecost. It is the day of the birth of the church, fifty days after the Passover. And that was the day according to Jewish tradition that Moses received ...read more

    “Righteousness Based on Love, Not Law” Matthew 1:18-25 What is the first image that pops into your mind when you hear the word “righteous”?

     | 899 views

    The Kingdom of God is not just about the promise of eternal life, but also about living a life of righteousness, peace, and joy in the present. It is about God's will being done on earth as it is in heaven.

    Today, we're going to talk about something that's way cooler than you might think. It's called the Kingdom of God. Now, I know what you're thinking, 'I've heard about this before.' But trust me, it's way more than just heaven or church. It's like the ultimate level-up in the game of life. Let's ...read more

    based on 5 ratings
     | 9,069 views

    Dramatic monologue as if it were from Micah himself, summarizing the entire book around the contrast between practicing ritual in order to avoid judgment vs. living God’s requirements of justice, mercy, and the humble walk.

    [Outside the sanctuary] Justice, O God! Justice! We must have your justice! And righteousness! Without that we are lost! Oh, Lord God, the Temple and the city – what I see there sickens me. That ripe and rotten ritual, those empty gestures, those paid and padded priests! O God, ...read more

    Jesus Always Follows "Kingdom Rules” Series

    Contributed by Barry O Johnson on May 9, 2017
     | 8,737 views

    This is the third message in the series on Faith. There are rules that govern how we are to live in the kingdom of God and they should be – no, must be – the foundation for how we think and how we make decisions.

    Growing in faith is a process. Sometimes I think we forget that. When we accept Jesus as our Lord and Savior, we are born into a kingdom that we know very little about. That’s why we must grow in our knowledge and understanding of “kingdom rules” if we are to properly live and function in our new ...read more

    The Wrath & Righteousness Of God Revealed

    Contributed by Tom Fuller on Dec 8, 2002
    based on 6 ratings
     | 4,450 views

    Our study through the book of Romans 1 shows us a God who loves humans, but must reveal His wrath on anything that is not like Him. It is one of the best chapters in the Bible to clearly understand God’s righteous character, and our fallibility.

    Why is there evil in the world? How can a loving God condemn anyone to hell? Does God condemn me when I do wrong? How can I be a Christian and yet still sin? How do law and faith work together? Where do I find help and hope? What happens to the Jews after they rejected Jesus? How am I supposed to ...read more

    based on 4 ratings
     | 2,652 views

    The beliver should be praying, but Jesus gives us some rules to follow. It is not as much about the rules as it is the condition of our heart. Sermons highly influenced by the Preacher’s Outline and Study Bible.

    Title: Great Rules of Prayer Text: Matthew 6:7-8 A little boy was saying his bedtime prayers with his mother: "Lord, bless Mommy and Daddy, and God, GIVE ME A NEW BICYCLE!!!"
