Learning Contentment in Godly Thinking

By

On June 22, 2020

In Sermons

Nothing is more vital for the child of God than to keep/guard our minds, to bring every thought into captivity unto the obedience of Christ. Our minds are so prone to stray to vain, earthly, carnal things, and Satan is seeking to corrupt and blind our minds. We have to be very purposeful to “choose” to think on good things. We are given 8 attributes of godly thinking: think (meditate) on things that are true, honest, just, pure, lovely, of good report, if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think continually on these things.

Learning Contentment in Peace

By

On June 14, 2020

In Sermons

There is no peace in this world for the child of God. This world is only full of tribulation and trouble that can quench the peace of our souls. Instead, the source of all peace in this world in Jesus Christ, the Prince of Peace. Even in a world around us that is only filled with trouble, we cannot let the trouble of this world get down in our hearts. When we abide in Jesus Christ and abide in the Holy Spirit, we can experience a peace that passes all understanding.

The Faith of Moses, Part 2

By

On June 10, 2020

In Sermons

Moses continues to display bold faith in his forsaking of Egypt to endure affliction with the people of God. We also see his strong faith in commanding Israel to observe the Passover, when it probably didn’t make sense to them. Then, Moses’ amazing faith in believing and proclaiming God’s salvation at the banks of the Red Sea, even before God had told him how he would ultimately deliver Israel from the Egyptians.

Withstanding the Devil’s Wiles

By

On June 8, 2020

In Articles

Beloved, during this uncertain and chaotic time, it is vitally important for you to “put on the whole armor of God” and especially the “helmet of salvation” to withstand against the “wiles of the devil” (see Eph. 6:10-18). Satan is a deceiver, the father of lies, subtil, and wily. Satan cannot pluck any of God’s children of out the eternal hand of the Father, but he is out to corrupt the minds of God’s children. That is why we must put on the whole armor of God and our helmet of salvation to protect our minds. Our helmet of salvation protects our brain, or figuratively, our mind. Our mind should be filled with the salvation of Jesus Christ and our eternal security by his sovereign grace and that will protect our mind from the wiles of the devil. It is vitally for us to be properly adorned with the armor of God to withstand the onslaught of the devil against the Lord’s people.

Learning Contentment in Prayer

By

On June 7, 2020

In Sermons

If we are truly going to be content in this world, we must offer up our burdens and cares to God in prayer. When our minds are fearful, anxious, and burdened with care, there is an amazing release valve in offering those cares up unto God and leaving those burden with him in prayer. We pray unto God with thanksgiving, praising him for our eternal salvation and petitioning the throne of grace, hoping to receive unmerited favor that we do not deserve.

Why Do Bad Things Happen To Good People?

By

On June 1, 2020

In Articles

Why do bad things happen to good people? This question is commonly asked in response to some tragic event that, in our opinion, unfairly touches the lives of those who are trying to live in a godly way. This question is actually indicative of an incorrect perspective of the reality of this world. The answer to this troubling question is that bad things don’t happen to innately good people – in our nature we are “bad people”, not good people; there is none that doeth good, no, not one (Rom. 3:12); no one on this earth is good by nature. There is only one exception to that universal rule of original sin and man’s innate “badness” instead of goodness, and that is Jesus Christ. The truth is that bad things have only ever happened to a truly “good man” one time – when the perfectly good, sinless Son of God was unjustly condemned by men and gave up his life to save his people from their sins. Therefore, we need to ask a more appropriate question from the proper perspective. Since all of mankind is innately bad by nature, the proper question then is: “Why do good things ever happen to bad people?”

Learning Contentment in Moderation

By

On June 1, 2020

In Sermons

The child of God is called to live a moderate life – not too high, not too low, gentle, not aggressive, deferring to help others. When we learn to be content with our possessions, we don’t desire to covet more than we have. We attempt to use our finances and money as good stewards of what God has entrusted to us, not desiring and coveting more but living in moderation.

The Faith of Moses, Part 1

By

On May 28, 2020

In Sermons

We see the faith of Moses’ parents in disobeying the command of Pharaoh, preserving the life of their son and saving innocent life from the wicked decree of the king. Moses also exhibits a bold faith in rejected the seasonal pleasures of sin in Egypt and choosing to suffer with God’s people and to partake of the reproach of Jesus Christ with his people.

Necessity of In-Person Fellowship

By

On May 24, 2020

In Sermons

During this time separated from public worship, this has highlighted the necessity for in-person fellowship with the church. It’s great to be able to communicate with each other through digital means, but that cannot replace the fellowship with our brothers and sisters in Christ in person. We receive comfort and joy from our fellowship one with another, and long to see our dear friends when we are separated. Ultimately, when we meet one with another and speak of the Lord together, we not only have fellowship with each other but most importantly we have fellowship with our Savior Jesus Christ.

Learning Contentment in Joy

By

On May 18, 2020

In Sermons

Jesus Christ is the only true source of Joy for the child of God. Therefore, our lives should be characterized by rejoicing always, unconditionally expressing joy in our lives. We can even exhibit joy and rejoice in the fiery trials of this life. Actually, there is arguably no greater Christian testimony to others in our lives than rejoicing even in the midst of severe trials in this world.
