Many assume that Jesus and His parents lived in poverty, and they point to a few Scriptures which allegedly back up their belief. But what does the Bible really say about this question? And does it matter?
Sermons
A Life of Repetition
Do we ever feel like we do the same things over and over again? Do our lives sometimes resemble a game that constantly repeats? We see the use of repetition in nature, in life and even in the Bible. But why? Why is repetition so important for us? What can we learn by examining nature, our lives and the Bible, based on this thought of repetition? What is it that repetition will accomplish in our lives?
All and More
We do what is required—that describes so many of us! But what if we made it our practice to do all and even more? Christians must!
Divide and Conquer
We are strong only when we trust in God to lead us toward our eternal reward. Satan’s only method of pulling us off track is to separate us from the truth of God. It is imperative to stay close to the truth revealed to us through the inspired words of God.
Walking in the Valley
Christians face trials—hard ones! The record of the Bible shows that righteous people encountered difficult tests throughout their lives. When we find ourselves in trying situations, how do we react?
Fiery Darts
Satan specializes in finding our weaknesses and using them against us. Unless we are properly equipped to defend ourselves from his taunting attacks, we are at risk of becoming overwhelmed by sin and compromising our relationship with God. How can we expect to be spiritually attacked? Most importantly, what can we do to protect ourselves from temptations we experience and win our battles against sin?
God’s Control of the Weather
This sermon shows the difference between today’s weather conditions, which are oftentimes catastrophic, and the weather conditions in the future, when God rules on earth. Bad weather conditions can be the direct result of God’s punishment for sin, while good weather can be the direct consequence of God’s blessing for right conduct. We will also address the political situation around the world, following Mr. Trump’s election as President; his “no-win”- position; and “Europe’s perfect storm,” leading to unparalleled terrible world conditions, as a result of sin.
The Power of One
People have great strength. But what happens when we as Christians don’t have great strength? Where do we turn when we are down and discouraged? How do we get out of these types of situations? How can we move forward? We can accomplish great things if we allow God to lead us.
Is the Soul Immortal?
Most religious people, Christians and non-Christians alike, believe in the immortality of the soul. What does the Bible say about this question? Do people have souls, or are they souls? Are there dead souls? Can a soul die? Why does the Bible speak about the resurrection of the dead, if the dead are not really dead, but keep on living after death as “immortal souls”? What is death? And what is hell, in which God can destroy body and soul?
Motivation
How are we doing in our spiritual lives to get us motivated? What can we do to keep us going as we run our race to perfection?
