    based on 2 ratings
     | 2,304 views

    The Sabbath was on Saturday, and yet we worship on Sunday. Why do we do that, and what lessons from the Jewish Sabbath can we learn as Christians?

    Before we get into the heart of the sermon I want to address idea of the Sabbath. The Sabbath was the 7th day of the week and that’s SATURDAY. On the Sabbath, Jews would worship God, spend time with their families. And… essentially, they did little else. The Sabbath was a DAY OF REST. In fact, ...read more

    Why is the Sabbath day celebrated on Sunday? Why are the Pharisees upset with Jesus about working on the Sabbath day? Why are the Pharisees upset with Jesus? Does the law make people well or does grace and mercy make people well?

    Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ. When you hear that you ought to keep the Sabbath Day holy, what does it mean to you? I know for many the first response is we ought to go to church. Sunday is the Lord’s Day so let that be a day dedicated to the Lord and go ...read more

    I am so encouraged to know that I do not walk alone, but we have so many others who walk with us like Barnabas.

    “Resting In The LORD” Acts 9: 26-31 As we continue through our text we will need to back up just a couple verses so we understand where we are and what is happening.

    Character And Spiritual Power

    The Power we need to fulfil the Purpose of God for our lives in our generation rests solely on having, maintaining and retaining the Character of God in our lives.

    God's strategy to defeat the enemies and fulfill His plan through man is character. The character of a man is God's strategy. That's why the matter of character is so important to God. When you check the method of God from the Garden of Eden, the only thing He tied the fulfilment of ...read more

    Can you define the eternal rest believers will be blessed with in heaven and on the New Earth? Did you ever think we would be working there?

    Hebrews 1 from the Easy-to-Read Version follows: In the past God spoke to our people through the prophets. He spoke to them many times and in many different ways. And now in these last days, God has spoken to us again through his Son. He made the whole world through his Son. And he has chosen his ...read more

    Creating A Refuge Series

     | 2,761 views

    Claiming new spiritual territory is difficult. All who seek to follow Jesus in faithful obedience while walking in hostile territory need a place of refuge. It’s up to the body of Christ to create that safe haven for both ourselves and others.

    Conquering the land, or claiming new spiritual territory, involves grueling spiritual labor. We will encounter resistance, or even minor persecution, when sharing the message of salvation in Jesus Christ; and we can grow weary if we do not have times of refreshing. We’ve got to find a safe haven ...read more

    Thus, if someone truly wants to observe the Sabbath Day in modern times (New Testament era), that’s a tall order! One that I do not think anyone could keep, because as religious as the Jews were, they could not keep it (Acts 15:10).

    SABBATH MEANS REST Mark 2:27 And he said unto them, The sabbath was made for man, and not man for the sabbath: Q: What happens when we operate a cellphone, tablet, ipod, etc. all day?
