Getting over You: Giving Up What You Can’t Keep to Gain What You Can’t Lose
God designed us to enjoy people and to use things. But, we live in a society that uses people and enjoys things 6 But godliness with contentment is great gain. 7 For we wrought nothing into the world, and we can take nothing out of it. 8 But if we have food and clothing, we will be content with that.” Timothy. 6:-6-8 God wants us to move toward contentment 1.) Trust God completely “ But godliness with contentment is great…
Getting Over You: Truth vs. Lies
“There is a way that seems right to a man, but in the end it leads to death.” Proverbs 16:25 These are the things you are to teach and insist on. 3 If anyone teaches otherwise and does not agree to the sound instruction of our Lord Jesus Christ and to godly teaching, 4 they are conceited and understand nothing. They have an unhealthy interest in controversies and quarrels about words that result in envy, strife, malicious talk, evil suspicions…
Easter Questions: Can I find Peace With God?
This must be deleted from our thought process: Our problem is not a scale problem, our problem is a sin problem. Question Can we have peace with Jesus? Yes, we can. Therefore, since we have been justified through faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have gained access by faith into this grace in which we nowstand. And we boast in the hope of the glory of God. 3 Not only so, but…
Easter Questions: What does God want from me?
“Now faith is confidence in what we hope for and assurance about what we do not see.” Hebrews 11:1 Therefore, the promise comes by faith, so that it may be by grace and may be guaranteed to all Abraham’s offspring—not only to those who are of the law but also to those who have the faith of Abraham. He is the father of us all. 17 As it is written: “I have made you a father of many nations.”[a] He is our father in the…
EASTER QUESTIONS: Does God Accept Me?
“Accept one another, then, just as Christ accepted you, in order to bring praise to God.” Romans 15:7 Justification: Being made right with God. 1.We are made right by faith, not by what we do. What then shall we say that Abraham, our forefather according to the flesh, discovered in this matter? 2 If, in fact, Abraham was justified by works, he had something to boast about—but not before God. 3 What does Scripture say? “Abraham believed God, and it was credited to him as righteousness.…
Easter Questions: Why Did Jesus Have to Die?
23 For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, 24 and all are justified freely by his grace through the redemption that came by Christ Jesus. 25God presented Christ as a sacrifice of atonement,[a] through the shedding of his blood—to be received by faith. He did this to demonstrate his righteousness, because in his forbearance he had left the sins committed beforehand unpunished—26 he did it to demonstrate his righteousness at the present time, so as…
Unseen Battle: Dressing Appropriately
13 Therefore put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand. 14 Stand firm then, with the belt of truth buckled around your waist, with the breastplate of righteousness in place, 15 and with your feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace. 16 In addition to all this, take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows…
