The Sermon on the Mount is in Matthew chapters 5 through 7.  Matthew 7 and verse 7, which says (NASB bible)  “Ask and it will be given to you. Seek and you will find. Knock and it will be open to you. Verse 8 says, “Everyone who asks receives, and he who seeks finds, and to him who knocks it will be open”.  CHAPTER 5 Matthew Chapter 5 begins with the Sermon on the Mount and the teaching of the Bea...

What does it mean to pray for Peace?  What Peace did Jesus bring to the world?  The Angels spoke peace and Jesus came into the world (Luke).  Jesus left peace and spoke peace to all when he left this world (John).  The Magi gave gifts unto Jesus upon his birth.  But Jesus gave gifts to all men.  Jesus was able to leave greater gifts unto us:  the Holy Ghost, Peace and Salvation. God loves you more...

HOW DOES GOD SPEAK TO US  How does the word of the Lord come to us? In the Bible, it happened in many different ways: by a personal appearance of God, by an audible voice, by visions or dreams, by the ministry of angels, by the working of the Spirit of God upon the mind, by the making alive of a passage of Scripture to our hearts, or by the ministry of a prophet or preacher.  Here is a brief lesso...

ARE YOU MAKING AN EFFORT TO GET A SHARE IN THE KINGDOM OF GOD? (see Matt:11:6-18).  Are you doing what God has called you to do with fear, reverence. Pushing, pressing, making your way through.

A lot of people believe t...

Luke Chapter 5 has several parables and relatable stories about Jesus selecting (calling) the Disciples.

Hebrews 11:1 King James Version (KJV) 11 Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.  In 2017 I was chosen as the speaker for a General Education Diploma (or GED) Graduation. My topic was There’s a “Hope” in Front of Me.  I had a short outline and was not sure what I would say in the end.  Many times, God works this way with my sermons…but for what I consider a...

Scripture is from Philippians 1:12-30 (New American Standard Bible) The term Relax, Release, and Relate comes from an episode of the Cosby Show (TV sitcom from the 1990's).  Debbie Allen's character regularly recited it in her effort to combat stress or fear. One writer said that these three words relate the emotional tug-of-war in our faith walk. God asks us to move; we stay put; God as...

I saiah 59:19 in the King James says " So shall they fear the name of the LORD from the west, and his glory from the rising of the sun.

We will review a few of the verses before verse 19 and examine the situatio...
