Sermons
The Right Team
We must focus on the real game that rewards with eternal life, not passing pleasures. The bible is full of examples that can help us build a team of resources to draw upon when we are facing trials.
Mark
Are you discouraged? Do you think about giving up? Or do you feel that you could never fail? Then this sermon is for you. We find out, from the life of Mark, that it is important to go on, with the help of God.
Trials
For thousands of years, people have been going through trials. We have to go through trials so that we can learn to have compassion for others. We need to learn to find joy in trials. Only then can we learn how to be perfect.
Your Servant
Jesus Christ said, “You shall love your neighbor as yourself,” but is His statement just a nice platitude that is often quoted but rarely applied?He also said that those who wished to be great should be “your servant.” Just how these instructions from Christ apply to Christians is a vital key for our lives and our future.
What Would Be Jesus’ Vote?
“Presidential campaigns never fail to receive enormous media coverage in the United Sates… But what would Jesus Christ do during a U.S. election…? Who would he vote for? Would he register as a Democrat or a Republican?” These words, written by Herbert W. Armstrong prior to 1984, are as relevant for us today as they were then. What would Christ do today, and what should true Christians do?
The Heart of Man
The nature of the heart of man may be different than we believe it to be. The Bible teaches us that we must be aware of the evil impulses that the heart is prone to. This is very important because the heart in the Bible refers to the inner nature of our character. To overcome the deception and evil that may be in our heart, we need to rely on God to examine and expose our weaknesses. Only by coming to God with a broken heart can we live a life that is pleasing to Him.
Christ in the Old Testament
Did Moses know Christ? Was he aware of His existence of God and His coming as the Messiah? Jesus said that Moses wrote about Him. In what way? And what about Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, David, Isaiah and others? Were they Christians? Actually, what IS a Christian?
War in the Millennium?
Passages in Ezekiel 38 and 39 describe an invasion of Asiatic hordes in the Middle East. Do these Scriptures address the time prior to or subsequent to Christ’s coming? Are they speaking of the same time as the events in Revelation 20? Who is Gog of the land of Magog? And who are the other nations mentioned in these passages? What will happen when these nations attack Israel?
My Servant
What do you think of when you hear the word “servant”? Is it positive, or do you associate it with an archaic caste system? Do you think only in terms of a slave and slavery? You might just be surprised when the concept of servant is viewed from a biblical perspective.
