Christian Sermons from Calvary Chapel Greenmeadow, North Kingstown, RI

Joseph’s brothers lived with guilty consciences for over 20 years and believed that they were being punished by God. Their father Jacob also felt like everything was against him. But God used it all for good and brought about a great healing.

As we enter a new year, we should look back and learn from the past, but then forget about it. As we look forward and set goals, let them be for a higher purpose than our own desires. Our motto should be for more desire to see God’s glory in 2024.

God uses good and bad circumstances to make us more like Him. Even when we are in the difficult times, our character matters. His perfect plan for us may take years and may hurt, but serve Him with honor and He will bless you.

In this new year, remember your new song, new mercies, and renewed mind. Also look forward to the new heavens and new Earth, a new body, and a new name. If there is anything new that is good, it is what God has done and will do, not what we do.

We celebrate Jesus' birth because of who He is. He is the Word—the expression of God the Father. Jesus is himself God and the creator of all things. He came because He loves us and to bring us life and light. Christmas celebrates this great gift.

No matter where we are, God can prosper us with His blessing when we trust Him and this can be a witness to others. Those around us are blessed through the goodness He shows to us but our circumstances may not always improve when we do the right thing.

The Men's Chorus from Teen Challenge share their inspiring testimonies about overcoming addiction and Pastor Rich delivers a message on the importance of drinking spiritual water to restore our souls.

Norm shares the incredible way that God provided for our church through the provision of this building and the circumstances that led to us being able to acquire it as our meeting place.

There are things God does for us every day that we take for granted and sometimes we fail to recognize our need to give thanks. One way to thank God is to tell others about Him and what He has done for you. Serve God with a thankful heart.

Reflecting on how God has worked in so many lives and circumstances to provide for this fellowship of believers.

We may think that all our circumstances are against us, but in God's plan, they are all working for us. God works in and through our messed-up families and circumstances. He can do amazing things in spite of what we see as obstacles.

There are spiritual enemies against those who stand with the army of God and sometimes that spiritual reality meets the physical world. One example of this is the Devil coming as the serpent. He is still trying to to get people to stop following Jesus.

When your time is done on this Earth, what will they say about you? What will they put on your tombstone? Will they see a testimony in your life or that you were caught up in the things of this world? Have faith, bless others, and worship God.

Where is the place you need to return to where God first spoke to you? Repent and change direction to face God. Reestablish your walk with Him and you will be restored and renewed, leading to revival. This reality is available to all believers.

We sometimes stop trusting God and go back to relying on our own plans, leading to a conflict with Him. God can use these conflicts to show us who the real enemy is. Like Jacob, we must hold on tightly to God during these difficult struggles.

God can meet us where we are, even when that place is a result of our bad choices. He promises to be with us, past, present, and future. To one degree or another, we are all in the shadow of death, but to know that He is with us gives us strength.

Be an encourager by giving people a chance, a second chance, and a chance even at your own expense. How do you respond to someone else's success. Can you see beyond others failures? Are you a builder or a wrecker? Be like Barnabas.

In spite of evil and deception, God's will prevails and the truth is revealed. Don't try to help God by using lies or manipulation. The Lord is sovereign and in the end, there is only God and His glory.

We need to take what we have and put it on the alter. Although this seems scary, remember that He is in charge and the odds are in His favor. God tells us to not be afraid because He is with us and will help us. He is our shield and our reward.

God tested Abraham and He tests us also to confirm our faith. When Satan tests us, he tries to make us fall. God does it for our benefit to show us how deep or shallow our faith is. Our faith must go deeper than just feelings and emotion.

God did in Sarah's life what was humanly impossible. Although it was a decade or more before God fulfilled His promise, He was faithful. God keeps His promises and He wants us to trust Him. Keep an eye on what He is doing in your life today.

Abraham expressed his faith through obedience and lived his life as a stranger on this Earth, not staying in a permanent residence, but always ready to move. He erected alters to the Lord as should we-places where we meet with God and submit to His will.

The Bible is a book of hope. It all comes back to putting our faith and trust in what Jesus has done. Without Him, there is no hope.

Obedience come out of faith. We first believe, then we act. After 100 or more years of obedience, no one except Noah’s family listened to him. Are we listening? Today few listen and even fewer believe that judgement is coming.

Walking with someone brings about fellowship and conversation therefore our walk with God should be a lifetime occupation. It should be obvious to others that we are spending time with Him. It pleases the Lord greatly when we walk with Him in faith.
