Christian Sermons from Calvary Chapel Greenmeadow, North Kingstown, RI

There is no security in material things. Anyone whose happiness is in things is doomed to disappointment. Instead, invest in something eternal.

The last part of the disciple's prayer focuses on our daily needs. We should have no doubt that God will supply the things we need for the day, including the daily cleansing from our sins.

The disciple's prayer gives us a model for approaching the throne of God--not by mindless repetition, but by first acknowledging God's majesty and authority.

Giving, prayer, and fasting are acts of righteousness but we must not do them for men to see, but for God alone.

When confronted by an enemy, it is not enough to just not fight back; Christians are called to care about their enemies more than themselves. This starts by praying for them.

Do we mean what we say and say what we mean? A person's character should make an oath completely unnecessary.

Divorce is rooted in the hardness of man's heart... the hardness of holding a grudge. God hates divorce, but in Him there is always forgiveness.

Like murder, adultery starts in the heart but it is fed by the lust of the eyes. Internet pornography is the main example and Christians must take serious steps to avoid it.

Jesus taught that murder begins in the heart. We must be vigilant to keep our hearts from harboring anger and when others offend us we must settle matters quickly.

In this passage, Jesus affirms the holiness of His eternal Word--which He did not come to abolish, but to fulfill--but the emphasis is on relationship and not religion.

We are the light of the world. As the moon reflects the light of the sun, so we shine with the light of Jesus. It is impossible to hide it.

Radical teaching about radical living -- In these verses, Christians are simultaneously convicted by our failings and inspired by His confidence in us to accomplish His purpose.

How to be happy in eight easy steps? (Beatitudes Part I)

Jesus is all about relationships. He chose for His first miracle to turn water into wine at a wedding in Cana. In this act, Jesus proclaims the year of the Lord's favor in which we enter into a relationship with God by grace and not by fear.

The plans of a people unified, but without God, can not succeed; but our glory is the fact that He is with us and in us.

We need to ask God to help us to communicate and to be students of communication. Good communication requires honesty, gentleness, empathy, and thoughtfulness.

The three-fold ministry of Jesus was comprised of teaching, preaching and healing. All three are important for the church today and must be in balance.

Resurrection and new birth shout of life & hope! Are we walking in this hope in a way that others will notice?

If you are a disciple of Jesus, you are a follower of Jesus, not just a fan. To follow Him includes obedience, repentance, submission, trust, and perseverance.

Have you ever known someone who had a true heart for God's sheep? Who would leave the 99 to bring back the one who was lost even if that one was difficult?

Today you may be feeling that you live in the shadow of death, but Jesus has come as the light of the world so that no one who believes in Him should stay in darkness.

Satan offered Jesus power and glory, but there are no shortcuts to the will of God but through the cross of Jesus Christ.

We battle against the world, the flesh, and the devil and we are most susceptible to attack when we are by ourselves. But the word of God is our strong defense.

Although Jesus needed no repentance or forgiveness, He was baptized to affirm John's, ministry, indentify with humanity, and to set the example for us.
