“What is the Hope of His Calling?”   This is a great sermon title right out of the book of Ephesians!  In this sermon we will be answering two very important questions!  What are we called out of? and What is the hope of our calling?  The second question of course will be the focus of our lesson.  We will answer this question by looking at what Christians are called into through their union with C...

There is hope of eternal life for those who are in Christ Jesus!  In the first of several sermons titled  “In the Hope of Eternal Life,”  we will examine the prerequisites of securing eternal life.  In Matthew 22:14, Jesus said,  “For many are called, but few are chosen”  regarding eternal life.  Today we will begin to learn and understand how to make sure of His calling an...

“Honey, Wisdom, and Hope for Life!”  might be a humorous title for today’s sermon but the power of a few verses found in Proverbs can provide important direction and blessings for our lives!  The LORD is awesome in His amazing examples and clear direction to experience real hope, purpose, meaning, and pleasure in this life and the life hereafter.  During today’s sermon you will discove...

“Jesus Christ is Our Only Hope!”  It doesn’t take too much time to consider the validity of the statement, Jesus Christ is our only hope.  The only sure and constant things in this life is change and death.  Indeed, from a carnal perspective everything in this life will either change or pass away!  To put your hope in those things that change or perish is foolishness.  Today, we will look at...

“What are you living for?”  This is a great question that has eternal consequences!  For those who choose to muse upon this question they will come to realize it is a matter of hope.  If you live like and for the world and the things of the world which are passing away you are living in a state of hopelessness that will only become eternally worse when you pass from this life. ...

Sunday Assembly for Sunday July 21, 2024. The post Crushing the Schemes of Desires and Pleasures! appeared first on Pleasant Hill Church of Christ .

Have you ever heard the old saying, “Money is a wonderful tool but a terrible Master!”  Money and the riches of this world are not evil in and of itself.  The problem is found in our lustful desires for it and all that it can do to us if we choose to live for it and not for the LORD.  Like most inanimate objects it is neither evil or good.  How it is used can be either evil or good, th...

Will you answer the hard questions or will you bask in the easy grace being proclaimed from so many pulpits today?   Our beloved brother Luke reminds us that our Lord said,  “Strive to enter the narrow door; for many, I tell you, will seek to enter but not be able.”   Also, Matthew reminds us of these words in Matthew 7:13-14,  “Enter through the narrow g...
