Green Acres Messages

1 John Chapter 5 says, "this is the victory that overcomes the world, our faith." So what does victorious, overcoming, epic faith look like? In today's message, we will look at just that in the life of Abraham! CONNECT AT GREEN ACRES Are you new or want to know more about Green Acres?

Want to know what REAL faith looks like? Join us for our new sermon series as we examine the Old Testament stories of 5 Bible characters who showed epic faith. In this message, we are looking at the faith of Noah. It is interesting that as you study Noah in Genesis 6-9, you will see one of the clearest understandings of the Gospel of Jesus Christ.

This is our final message from the series “A Better Way”!  We remember that the Ten Commandments are divided into two parts. Commandments 1-4 deal primarily with our relationship and interaction with God, and Commandments 5-10 deal primarily with our relationships with one another. The last commandment from God is,  “You shall not covet your neighbor’s house. You shall not covet your neighbor’s wi...

Exodus 20:16 says, “Do not give false testimony against your neighbor.” This seems straightforward, but there are certain implications that you and I can easily overlook in this study.

We face all kinds of adversity in life but we have to face adversity with FAITH. How do we have faith through all of the storms of life? The Bible gives us a perfect example of how to do just that in Mark, Chapter 4. This message comes from Pastor David Dykes, Pastor Emeritus of Green Acres Baptist Church.

The Eighth Commandment from God says, "Do not steal." This commandment encapsulates all of the other commandments in one way or another. It is easy to think that we have a good understanding of this commandment and quickly move on to the last two. In today's message, we dive into what "do not steal" truly means.

Exodus 20:14 says, “Do not commit adultery.” There is much to learn from this short yet impactful commandment. This is a very personal and intrusive commandment speaking heavily against our cultural dynamics today. However, the issues of immorality were just as rampant in the First Century. The problem the church faces today is the emphasis, the openness, and the celebration of immorality. Our nat...

The Ten Commandments are just as relevant today as they were at their inauguration. The Ten Commandments begin with our worship of the Lord. If we forget this essential first step, everything else crumbles beneath it. The right to life has been replaced with a “my right to take life” mentality. We cannot disconnect the sixth commandment from who we worship. Who we worship as followers of Jesus det...

Today we continue our series "A Better Way". The fifth commandment teaches us that we shall honor our father and mother. We look at how to honor and invest in your family biblically. And what it looks like to invest in other generations around you.  CONNECT AT GREEN ACRES Are you new or want to know more about Green Acres?

In a world of fast-paced busyness, rest is something that is not celebrated in many ways. Rest often appears as lazy or un-driven. The Lord gives us an example that we are to rest and take it seriously. Rest is not just physical but involves every aspect of our lives. It will make you better as a follower of Jesus because it is the rest that your soul undoubtedly craves. CONNECT AT GREEN ACRES Are...

Exodus 20:7 tells us to not misuse the name of the Lord. Many times, we have shortened our understanding of this commandment to miss the level of significance that it really carries.   CONNECT AT GREEN ACRES Are you new or want to know more about Green Acres?

What have you turned into an idol in your life? Your job? Your possessions? Your spouse? Your income?  Exodus 20:4-6 says, "Do not make an idol for yourself, whether in the shape of anything in the heavens above or on the earth below or in the waters under the earth. Do not bow in worship to them, and do not serve them; for I, the Lord your God, am a jealous God, bringing the consequences of...

Many people believe that the 10 Commandments are antiquated and have been wiped out by Christ, so why study them? However, what we will see are the direct applications to our lives and we will gain a better understanding of what Jesus meant when He came not to abolish the law, but to fulfill it.

1st Corinthians 15 may be one of the most significant passages in all of scripture. Paul gives us this understanding that the resurrection does matter for your life. That if Jesus was raised from the dead, then it means something to you personally. Jesus died for YOU, no strings attached! CONNECT AT GREEN ACRES Are you new or want to know more about Green Acres?

As Paul draws this book to an end, he concludes with quite an incredible concept for all of us. What does it look like for us to “Battle in Christ.” Every disciple enters into this battlefield as they follow Jesus. The enemy is against you if you are truly Living in Christ . You have a unique target on your back, and we must be prepared for spiritual warfare because it is happening all around us,...

Discipleship should be part of the fabric of every follower of Jesus. Paul addresses this concept through the lens of children, parents, slaves, and masters.

The call to imitate God in Ephesians 5:1 should cause every one of us to pause and reflect about this audacious goal. William Barclay calls this verse, “The highest standard in the world.” Alexander Maclaren says this verse is, “The sum of all duty.” Martyn Lloyd Jones says, “Here in this new chapter we come to what is perhaps Paul’s supreme argument, to the highest level of all in doctrine and in...

As Paul continues to turn the corner in the book of Ephesians, he now makes it clear to us, as followers of Jesus, what it means to be “Distinct in Christ.” Last week we learned that because of the truths shared through chapters one through three, we should be motivated to walk in a manner worthy of our calling. Paul now continues the theme of walking or living in this manner by describing our dis...
