     | 5,989 views

    We cannot depend on our good works to save us. We cannot depend on anything external to save our souls. Salvation is produced solely by faith.

    Intro: These last few verses of chapter four teach us the truth that we cannot depend on keeping the Law to save us. We cannot depend on our good works to save us. We cannot depend on anything external to save our souls. Paul's point here, as it has been throughout this chapter is that ...read more

    Uses the OT Harvest/Tabernacles Festival to add to the meaning of Thanksgiving. 1) Remember the poor, 2) Repent and rejoice, and 3) Look to the future with hope. Can also be used for an interactive Thanksgiving celebration. (How about making a booth or tabernacle?)

    THANKSGIVING in the OT: Festival of Tabernacles Happy Thanksgiving! What is the meaning of Thanksgiving?

    Although facing great adversity, Paul had learned to be content. The Lord had been faithful to provide the strength he needed to endure whatever trials or difficulties he faced. We too can learn contentment and receive strength for our trials.

    Peace through Contentment Philippians 4: 10-13 Our text today offers a compelling and intimate look within the heart of Paul. This letter to the Philippian church was penned from a Roman prison.

    One of the unfortunate realities about living in this world is the existence of bullies who intimidate and threaten others. The Bible describes one such bully named Goliath. His threats against Israel and God ceased when he encountered David and one smooth stone.

    Bullies have existed in this fallen world ever since Cain killed Abel at the beginning of civilization (Genesis 4:8). However, as the days get darker spiritually and the love of people grows cold (Matthew 24:12; Romans 1:18-32), the problem of bullying is only going to grow like a cancer across ...read more

But one thing was clear, God had brought us here for His plan and purpose that He alone could fulfill through our lives. Maureena and I were on a God-given mission and were bent upon accomplishing it. ...read more
