    Turning Fear Into Joy

    Contributed by Jerry Cosper on Feb 21, 2024
     | 2,151 views

    If we think about it, if we go through a fearful time in our life, when all turns out okay and are settled, we tend to be joyful.

    For the past 3 weeks, we have been talking about having a reverent fear of God, about feeling secure from fear in the arms of God, and replacing our fear with courage. Today, we are going to talk about bringing it all together and turning our fears into joy. If we think about it, if we go through ...read more

    The call of the Holy Spirit is always to a higher place. It is a dangerous thing to settle anywhere along the way. There should be built into the DNA of the believer the desire fore more of God.

    I'M GOING UP Psalm 24:3-5 KJVS - 3 Who shall ascend into the hill of the LORD? or who shall stand in his holy place? 4 He that hath clean hands, and a pure heart; who hath not lifted up his soul unto vanity, nor sworn deceitfully. 5 He shall receive the blessing from the LORD, and righteousness ...read more

    Contributed by John Lowe on Oct 14, 2018

    The main purpose of this chapter is to administer what amounts to a slap on the wrist to the Corinthians for their practice of taking other believers to court (vv. 1-7), instead of settling their differences among themselves.

    Since God made everything good – even sin – our job is less to “avoid bad” than it is to seek the good, and glorify God with it.

    Dead Mules Don't Work

    Contributed by Mark Haines on Jan 12, 2007
    based on 11 ratings
     | 4,702 views

    Too many Christians settle for being forgiven and fail to recognize that dead sinners do not disobey God. We can live in obedience because we are alive to God and dead to sin.

    My purpose is to be the Holy Spirit’s second witness calling God’s people in my care to surrender their lives to Jesus and to live in obedience to him. Response Goal: Individuals prompted by the Holy Spirit will surrender their lives to God in prayer – at the altar rail if they want to prayer ...read more

    Paul has addressed our personal lives, church life, family life. These are introverted concerns, about us and those we are close to. As he concludes his letter, he wants to make sure we also transition to an extroverted focus.
