  • Values and Reasons

    15/07/2019 Duração: 50min

    Values and reasons are vital to the Christians life! [Rom 15:26-27 NASB] 26 For Macedonia and Achaia have been pleased to make a contribution for the poor among the saints in Jerusalem. 27 Yes, they were pleased [to do so,] and they are indebted to them. For if the Gentiles have shared in their spiritual things, they are indebted to minister to them also in material things. This morning, we're going to spend our time discussing values and reasons. Every one of us has values, and every one of us has reasons for those particular values. And this is true whether we're aware of it or not. For example, as Christians, we value reading the Bible. Some might value reading the Bible because they were raised a certain way. Mom and dad read it, grandma and grandpa read it and on it goes. Reading the Bible is the value, and the reason is tradition. Still, others have more superstitious reasons. Some people believe that reading the Bible will necessarily make things go better in their life. This is entirely untrue. An

  • Just A Friendly Reminder (Romans 15:14-15)

    12/07/2019 Duração: 08min

    Just a reminder church. [Rom 15:14-15 NASB] 14 And concerning you, my brethren, I myself also am convinced that you yourselves are full of goodness, filled with all knowledge and able also to admonish one another. 15 BUT I have written very boldly to you on some points so as to remind you again, because of the grace that was given me from God..." How many of you set reminders daily? Every appointment or schedule, we make gets a reminder. We clearly know the appointment is there, we set it. But life is busy, and we forget. But what about rules? My girls are like this almost every day. I've shared in times past that we have well-established rules in our house. "Listen and obey, right away." "Keep short accounts." "Ask questions, don't question." Although my daughters know these rules, they need reminders every day! As Christians, we're no different. And sadly God's word is even written on our hearts! So Paul's purpose for writing is to remind these Christian concerning "some points." See, Paul wrote to r

  • Sharing Faith (Romans 1:11-12)

    11/07/2019 Duração: 05min

    Sharing faith is truly encouraging. [Rom 1:11-12 NASB] 11 For I long to see you so that I may impart some spiritual gift to you, that you may be established; Elsewhere Paul talks about being refreshed by the saints in Rome and enjoying their company. But here, Paul says that he wants to impart something. But what the heck does that mean? "Impart some spiritual gift... that you may be established?" Well, verse 12 explicitly interprets what Paul says. [Rom 1:11-12 NASB] 11 For I long to see you so that I may impart some spiritual gift to you, that you may be established; 12 THAT IS, (what I mean by this is) that I may be encouraged together with you [while] among you, each of us by the other's faith, both yours and mine. Here's how we ought to see this. When Paul says that he wants to impart some spiritual gift, he's actually talking about his own faith. It's important to remember the word 'impart' means 'to make known' or 'to communicate' as well as 'to bestow.' Next, when Paul says that this gift is to

  • Tell Me Something Good (about church)

    10/07/2019 Duração: 04min

    Tell me something good... about the church. [Rom 1:8-9 NASB] 8 First, I thank my God through Jesus Christ for you all, because your FAITH is being proclaimed throughout the whole world. What does it mean that one's faith is being proclaimed? Well, here's what it doesn't mean. It doesn't mean that "their own personal gospel" is being proclaimed. Remember faith is trust, and that is all. Paul is saying that their trust in Jesus Christ is being talked about. But how do others know of our faith, our trust? Our works! All Biblical writers know faith without works is dead (James 2:17). Faith either has feet, or it doesn't exist! So another answer to our question of 'what makes for a great church' is that a great church has demonstrable faith! People see it. 9 For God, whom I serve in my spirit in the [preaching of the] gospel of His Son, is my witness [as to] how unceasingly I make mention of you, Not only has Paul heard of their faith, but he also keeps talking about them. This may be another sign of a grea

  • God's Fingerprint

    09/07/2019 Duração: 05min

    God's fingerprint is what matters for a great church. Paul has never actually met the Roman church. He wasn't the one who planted this church. According to church history, no one knows who founded the church in Roman. However, theologians assert that the church was the product of Christian Jews or proselytes who had returned home after their conversion on the day of Pentecost. In Acts 2, Jewish people from all over had come to Jerusalem to celebrate Shavuot (the feast of weeks) when (as we know) the Spirit of God fell on the disciples; Pentecost. Immediately after this, the Apostles proclaimed the Gospel, and Scripture says, "about 3,000 souls were added to the church" that day. Luke even records the origins of those who heard this good news in verses 9-11. Among those listed, Luke says, "visitors from Rome, both Jews and proselytes." So the thought is that these new Christians went back to Rome, and the church(es) were established. This seems more than feasible. But for today's message, the point is that

  • Joy is a Choice (So is Peace)

    05/07/2019 Duração: 06min

    Joy is a choice! Let's do a little thought experiment: When did Peter come off this proverbial chair when walking on water? It was when he looked at the wind and the waves. You see Peter lost "all joy and peace" when he stopped trusting in the Jesus who called him out. This is contrasted with Abraham in Romans 4:19-20. Did Abraham ever come off the chair? The answer is no. God gave him "all joy and peace," even though he and Sarah were too old according to man's Wisdom. But Abraham kept trusting; the scripture records that "Abraham grew strong in faith." And that He "glorified God and lived in full assurance." Abraham, in believing, was filled with all joy and peace. Peter in disbelieving was filled with fear and anxiety, and he called out to God to save him. But please hear me, I don't want you to think for a second that by peace and joy I mean a cessation of war or trial or pain in this life, and I surely don't want you to believe that by joy I mean worldly happiness because I do not! The joy th
