Colossians 3:1-15, Philippians 4:6-7 The key to having the peace of God guarding your hearts when troubling things arise is to, yes, to pray, but there’s something very important that precedes your prayer, and that’s thanksgiving. That’s what I really want to explore with you this message: What exactly is this thanksgiving Paul mentions time and time again in his letters? Because it’s not what you...

Sweet Surrender Luke 9:23-27 Throughout the Bible, God calls upon us again and again to yield ourselves to Him. He will not compel such surrender, though. Instead, He invites. He wants consecration, not coercion. In our scripture lesson today, Jesus invites us to follow Him, and He lays out how to do it. We must take up our cross daily. Jesus demonstrated what that was like in the Garden of Gethse...

Genesis 28:10-19 God told Jacob three things he needed to hear while he was in the wilderness. Which one of these do you need to hear today? 1. “I am their God”? That’s the beginning point to God, as you see the Lord at work in others around you. 2. “I am your God”? This is when you begin a personal relationship with the God who has been pursuing you in love, just as he pursued Jacob. 3. “I am wit...

John 7:37-44 Sharon McMahon, 10-20-2019 The word says that God has put eternity in our hearts. We have a spiritual thirst. Until we have that spiritual thirst slaked, most people walk around with an unnamed earning...sometimes an unnamed dread. They don't know what it is, but they are satisfied. They aren't fulfilled and they thirst for that nameless commodity. They try to fill that thirst for wha...

Philippians 2:5-11 The declaration “Jesus is Lord” indicates that Jesus is God. Jesus holds, as He has told us, “all authority in heaven and on earth” (Matthew 28:18); The realm of Christ’s reign covers everything that happens in heaven and on the earth. No one—not even those who deny His existence— can be free of His rule or outside His sphere of authority. Even death cannot release anyone from t...

Romans 1: 1-18 An ungodly world pushes and pressures us to be ashamed to even mention the Gospel today, just as it did in the time of Paul; and the ungodly continue racing toward judgment unaware of their fate, even though it is written plainly in scripture that the wrath of God is about to be unleashed on all that oppose His will. When we realize that the Gospel is the power of God to save from H...

When the Lord explained to the disciples what was expected of them as far as avoiding being a stumbling-block to others, and the lengths they were to go to in forgiving those who sinned against them, they didn’t feel adequate to the task, and responded, “Lord, increase our faith.” The disciples had reached a point we must all come to before we can truly begin walking in faith. We must come to the...

John 14:1-14 With this message we conclude our series “Whom the Son Sets Free” by acknowledging that Jesus sets us “Free from Uncertainty”. There are many in the church today who live their lives in uncertainty and dread because they have actually never believed and received the Gospel. Like the founder of our denomination, John Wesley, before his “Aldersgate Experience” (when he finally appropria...

We find a scriptural, spiritual principle at work here in Exodus 34:6-7 where God reveals His nature to Moses. He reveals Himself as merciful and forgiving, but in no wise pardoning the guilty of sins being passed on from generation to generation. Many have a problem reconciling these attributes of His nature, and wind up focusing on one or the other. Either He is a God of wrath or a God of mercy,...

As we begin our study, “How to Be Free from Generational Curses”, we need to understand that God is exactly Who He says He is in Exodus 34:6-7 ..."The LORD, the LORD God, compassionate and gracious, slow to anger, and abounding in lovingkindness and truth; who keeps lovingkindness for thousands, who forgives iniquity, transgression and sin; yet He will by no means leave the guilty unpunished, visi...

Exodus 4:1-9 One of Satan’s biggest ploys is convincing us that we are unworthy of God’s love and fellowship. He loves to lead us into a destructive, distracting circular trap where we quit praying because we feel unworthy to pray, and then, we feel unworthy to pray because we haven’t been praying. The truth is, your worthiness never figures into the account because Jesus settled that on the Cross...

1 John 1:9-10 We are coming to the end of our review of some of the things Jesus has set us free from. Jesus has told us, “Whom the Son sets free is free indeed.” In the past weeks we have looked at a few of the many of the things that Jesus has set us free from: addictions, anger, bitterness, hopelessness, lies, and worry. Next week we will wrap up with the fact that we can be set free from gener...

Jeremiah 29:8-13, Ezekiel 37:1-10 'For I know the plans that I have for you,' declares the LORD, 'plans for welfare and not for calamity to give you a future and a hope. (Jeremiah 29:11 NASB) In 1 Peter 3:15 Peter instructed the early church to always be ready to give an account for the hope that was within them. The hope that was within them is the same hope that resides in the heart of every bel...

Luke 4:16-21 We are in a series entitled “Whom the Son Sets Free” and in our scripture lesson from the 4th Chapter of Luke today, we hear Jesus announcing His mission here on earth. He has come to set us free from things that have been binding us, hindering us and holding us captive. He has come to set us free from things we have done in the past and things others have done to us in the past. He h...

Ephesians 4:25-32 This is an angry time in our nation, and honestly there are things going on that can cause anger. It is the result of fear, frustration, pain and unfairness, and there is plenty of that to go around. In these tumultuous times it is easy to get pulled into the fray and find ourselves being conformed to the world when we are being called to being transformed by the renewing of our...

Genesis 4:3-7 Many of us struggle with addictions. The Bible makes it clear that there is hope. If you want to be set free, there is hope. God wants you to know that with and through His power, that you can master the addictions in your life, and whom the Son sets free is free indeed.

“Free from Worry” Matthew 6:25-34 We could say from a biblical perspective, worry is the sin of distrusting the promises and the power of God. That’s what it is. It is a sin, and we must acknowledge it It is the sin of distrusting the promises and the power of God, and it did not come from God. Once we acknowledge this, and confess our sin of worry, The Lord can help us be set free from its bondag...

Hebrews 12: 14-17 Bitterness not only poisons the people around you but bitterness, not dealt with according to scripture, will also poison you. And sadly, so many people in our nation today are bound by it. The good news is that the Lord has come and made a way to set you free from bitterness!

Deuteronomy 28:1-14 You are an heir to the promises God made to Abraham and his descendants. The New Testament writers make it clear that these promises are for all who come to know Jesus as Lord and Savior. One of the promises that is yours is found in Deuteronomy 28:13 "The LORD will make you the head and not the tail, and you only will be above, and you will not be underneath, if you listen to...

Living in God’s Promises 2Peter 1:1-15 The Bible is filled with verses that promise you God’s help on life's journey, but not every Christian is aware of this, and others never see His hand at work in their lives. Listen to find out why some people never see God at work in the world today, and how you can become one of those who do know His power and presence in your everyday life!

Romans 9:1-20, 30-33) Here in the 9th Chapter of Romans, the Apostle Paul makes it clear that the descendants of Abraham who inherit the promises of God are those who have placed their faith in Him, not their works or their heritage. When we receive the righteousness granted through God’s mercy in Jesus Christ, we become heirs of the promises of God, which are many. This is the first in a series e...

BLESSED ASSURANCE Romans 5:1-5 The Lord never meant for the Christian life to be “iffy”. Assurance of salvation, peace with God and His abiding Presence in our lives are all provisions the Lord intends for each of us to have. He doesn’t want you to go through life fretting in insecurity and doubt. Instead, He wants to give you a sureness and security that gives you the confidence of His love in th...

PENTECOST (Acts 2:1-21) The Holy Spirit came to empower the church, and He still does today, when we follow His way.

(Luke 22:14-20) People have many ideas about who Jesus is and why He came to earth. Jesus said Himself that He "came to seek and to save what was lost" (Luke 19:10). When we gather around the Lord's table, the elements speak to us of His sacrifice, His substitution, and our salvation. We celebrate our redemption in remembrance of Him.

Handling Criticism Acts 11:1-18 THE HOLY SPIRIT CHANGES YOU! Look at the transformation in Peter. This is the guy that was ready to call down fire from heaven on a village that didn’t respond favorably to The Lord’s teaching. The one who not long before this moment cut off a guard’s ear defending Jesus. The one who cursed when he denied Jesus the third time and the rooster crowed. The Holy Spirit...
