    The "Warning" signs that once stood in front of the Most Holy Place of God has been replaced with a "Welcome" mat now that Jesus has come to offer Himself as a sacrifice for our sins -- Come on in!

    Come On In Hebrews 10:19-25 Security is a huge topic of conversation today. Security has always been a concern for any society. Armies have protected the interests of their nation.

    Elijah first repaired the altar before God responded in a miraculous way. We need to repair the altar and offer 3 sacrifices on it in order for revival to come: 1. Repentance 2. ourselves. 3. Praise.

    February 11, 2004 Title: Repairing the Altar (Preparation for revival) Text: 1 Kings 18:30 Introduction 1.

    Living A Life Worthy Of Christ

    based on 10 ratings
     | 12,922 views

    We cannot be worthy of Christ’s love and sacrifice, but the Bible DOES encourage us to WALK IN A MANNER WORTHY of Christ. We walk on two legs -- education of God’s Word, and action for God.

    In this, the opening verses of his letter, Paul praises the Colossians for the good that is in their church, and by encouraging them in verse 10 to “live a life worthy of Christ.” “Live a life worthy of Christ…” -- Easier said than done. In the movie, Saving Private Ryan, actor Tom Hanks ...read more

    Let’s see if we can look at these offerings from God’s perspective and maybe we can make some conclusions that may help us better offer our sacrifices to God.

    An Acceptable Offering Genesis 4:1-4:8 Two shopkeepers were bitter rivals. Their stores were directly across the street from each other, and they would spend each day keeping track of each other¡¦s business. If one got a customer, he would smile in triumph at his rival.

    God's people are forgiven sinners who have accepted Christ's sacrifice for their sins. Repentant people are accepted by God, but those who think they are good enough to enter heaven on their own merit will be cast out.

    Who Are God’s People? Exodus 32:1-14 Philippians 4:1-9 Matthew 22:1-14 Our first reading from Exodus is not difficult to understand.

    The friendship of David and Joshua is one of the closest in the Bible. From it, we learn that true friends love as they love themselves, sacrifice for the good of the other, and protect one another. If you want a friend, be a friend!

    1 Samuel 17:57-18:4 Best Friends Forever Have you ever had a BFF? A “best friend forever?” Or better yet, a BFFL? A “best friend for life?” Or in short form, a “bestie?” Someone who knows you better than you know yourself? I saw a quote this week: “We are going to be best friends forever... ...read more

    Jesus had revealed much about the difficulty and opposition the disciples would face as they sought to serve Him. Finally, He revealed their service would also require personal sacrifice - it would come at a cost.

    The Cost to Serve Matthew 10: 34-39 Jesus had revealed much to the disciples regarding what they could expect as they answered the call to proclaim the Good News. He warned that the task would not be easy, many would reject them, and they would face opposition along the way. However, in the midst ...read more

    Godliness Over Gain

     | 425 views

    You want a deeper walk with Jesus? That will mean persecution, not prosperity. It may mean sacrifice of health to walk in holiness. Remember, He was rejected and crucified. Apostles often lived in jail or the open field, not mansions.

    Matthew 5:11 Blessed are ye, when men shall revile you, and persecute you,and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely, for my sake. 12 Rejoice, and be exceeding glad: for great is your reward in heaven: for so persecuted they the prophets which were before you.

    Christian worship is a thankful response to God’s mercy, giving our lives as living sacrifices. It means not following the world but being changed by filling our minds with Scripture to know God’s will.

    “A worshiper who draws near to the Bible” Therefore, brothers and sisters, because God’s mercy is so great, I urge you to offer your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to God—this is your true and proper worship. Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the ...read more
