Jesus warns us to not lose our salt. What does that mean?

Romans 5:1-11 Salvation has 2 parts, like a coin or a door. On the one side is Justification. On the other, Sanctification. Justification - Justification is the way of entry, the door, if you will, into the Kingdom of God, or the Kingdom of Heaven. It is really believing and receiving the fact that Jesus died on the Cross and rose from the dead to pay the price that had to be paid so that you coul...

Psalm 103:1-5 What are the ways you forget the LORD and his benefits? Distraction by everything screaming for your attention. Maybe it’s things like work, schedule and media demanding your attention. It could be pride that tells you things are going fine or that things have gone fine before. Maybe there is significant physical or emotional pain in your life that drowns out your view of God’s benef...

You’ve probably have been told that God loves you. As John 3:16 says, “For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life.” It is good and right that this attribute be made much of, for God’s love is the heart of the gospel, and the heart of the entire Bible. But the question I want to answer today is, “Why does God lo...

1Thessalonians 4:1-8 Our Scripture today can be summed up succinctly in these 3 statements about how we live as Christians: 1. Live a God-pleasing life. 2. Your sanctification is God’s will. 3. To reject this is to reject God. From the moment of salvation on, the Christian life is a life of giving as much of yourself as you know to as much of God as you understand. When you’re first saved, it’s ea...

1 Thessalonians 4:3 This is the first message in a series on sanctification. Sanctification, Paul says, is God’s will for our lives. It is for the person who is not just trying to “get by spiritually” – but for the one who wants to please God in every way and be all he or she can be for the Lord.

Jesus says that the work we are to do for God is to believe in Him Whom He sent. The word translated “believe” in this context means to “entrust”. We are to entrust our very being to God. This kind of faith can be divided into three progressing categories: Acknowledging faith, Saving faith, and Living faith. In this message we review these three aspects of the Christian Faith.

Revelation 5:1-10 Takeaways from the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games 2024: What we saw confirms that the Bible is true, because it fulfilled prophecy about the Last Days. What occurred reminds us of the importance and sanctity of Holy Communion. What we saw reminds us of what is at the core of the Christian faith. The reactions of others give us wonderful opportunities to share our testimoni...

Revelation 3:14–22 is a letter from Jesus to the church at Laodicea in Asia Minor. It was given to John in a vision and had the purpose of saving the church from lukewarmness and possible destruction. It's a message that every church needs to hear. These are solemn words of counsel and love to a church that is content with itself, and feels need of nothing.

Revelation 3:7-13 The Philadelphians, these people that Jesus said had a "little strength," were true to His word and true to His name. As they trusted and obeyed, they discovered He kept His promises to them in the midst of people who were antagonistic to followers of Christ.

Revelation 3:1-6 The church at Sardis was a church with great reputation. They were known far and wide, and they were active, filled with activity, action, and programs, they were huge, some called it a mega-church because of its large fellowship. They are proud because of the success of their programs and activities. By the world’s standards they were successful, but then notice what the Lord say...

Revelation 2:18-29 “Jezebel” was teaching in Thyatira that sexual immorality was okay for Christians. Jesus had harsh words against that in this letter, and this is just what many are demanding today: that we accept their immoral, un-Biblical behavior just as it is, in the church, and not only tolerate it, but also approve of it, and consider them to be Christians in good standing. This is exactly...

Pergamus was the compromising church. The message we get as we read Jesus’ letter to this church is: “Don’t compromise your humility, your integrity nor your purity.

1 Thessalonians 4:13-18 As we conclude our series on “Bad Words,” we look at what the Bible says about death. For the unbeliever, it is a bad word. For believers, although it has been turned into a word that no longer has the penalty of sin attached to it, if we are honest, it is still also a bad word and a sad word.

Matthew 6:1-4 Every person, is appointed to die, after that the judgment. But, if you don't give your life to Christ, you'll be punished for every evil work you've done. If you give your life to Christ, He took your punishment for you, and you're actually going to be rewarded for every good work you've done. Even the word judgment becomes a good news word because of what Jesus did!

Sooner or later a couple is going to have a conflict. If conflict is handled in self-centeredness, conflict becomes a wedge; if handled in love, as the Lord desires, it become glue to the relationship. Two concepts to remember: 1. The objective is to resolve the conflict, not win a fight. 2. When one of you wins, you both lose!

John 15:1-8 All through the New Testament you can see that spiritual fruit is expected from the Christian life. Jesus tells us, “You shall know them by their fruit.” It is very important to note that the fruit the Lord expects in our lives is not the goal of the Christian, but the proof, or evidence of our abiding in Him.

John 15:1-7 Before you can abide in the Lord, draw life from Him and bear fruit, you have to be connected!

Luke 24:44-49 Repentance is not a bad word. The Greek word we translate “repentance” means to “change your mind. The most important thing we must change our mind about is God. Once we change our mind about Him, and realize that He loves us and is for us, and we need Him, we’ll quit running an hiding from Him, and He will begin to change our hearts.

John 3:16-21 The Good News changes everything. The Good News takes all the bad news and filters it and changes it, so that all these words (condemnation, repentance, judgment, death) that were very, very bad news for us as sinners, all change because a Person, a Messenger, The Messenger came into this world, and brought the Good News!

2 Chronicles 20:1-30 We worry a lot about the “What-ifs” don’t we? When faced with a challenge or problem in life we can waste a lot of time on the ‘what-ifs. On Easter morning the two Marys realized they had a problem: “Who will roll away the stone for us? At the moment the question came up, they had 2 choices. They could just get on to the tomb and see what could be done, or they could have gott...

Mark 16:1-8 Many have grown up in the Christian faith, and believe God can, but when it comes to them, personally, they don't believe God will! They believe God might do it for somebody else, but don't believe God will do it for them. Maybe you've even heard about God doing really incredible things, but you just think God's going to do it "way over there;" “He’s never going to do it over here. Tha...

God is 100% Loving God is 100% Merciful God is 100% Just Only one place that all three of these characteristics can come together to bring us into a forgiven state with God, and be brought into His Kingdom, and that place is the Cross. That’s why we sing, “What can wash away my sin? Nothing but the blood of Jesus.”

David was very confident, not only about his present circumstances, but also that in the future God would see him all the way home. He believed that valley times were appointed for His good. He learned things about God that could be learned no other way than being in the deep ravines of life. He stayed close, trusted in God's protection and guidance all the way. All because he could say, "The Lord...

“So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.” - Isaiah 41:10 Jesus tells us in Mark 10:15, “I tell you the truth, anyone who will not receive the Kingdom of God like a:.little child will never enter it. The way that a little child would describe God’s omnipresence would be to personali...
