You and I, as believers in the God of the Bible, are all a part of the church...the body of Messiah. We each have a job to do...a role to play...in His ministry. And not all of our tasks will be the same. Understand that God has given each and every one of us GIFTS and TALENTS to use for HIS glory. Some people in the body might have strengths in one area, while some may have strengths in OTHERS. A...

It's been said before, but the fact still remains...that we are not saved by works. Salvation is a free gift from God. It's nothing we can EARN or work towards. But as we'll learn today, works ARE important! Understand that doing works will not make you any MORE or any LESS saved. However, good works should come as a RESULT of being saved. They are an outward sign of the changes taking place in yo...

This world that we live in is full of sin. There aren't many who view God's Word as the ultimate standard for right-living. In fact, the Scriptures teach us that there's a way which seems right to man, but it's end is death. That's because man naturally follows His own understanding. And that's why it's so important to not use the societal norm as our gage for living. We have to rely God and His W...

As believers, as recipients of God's free gift of salvation, we have been given a wonderful opportunity. We've been given the PRIVILEGE of serving the Creator. We get to be a part of HIS ministry. But as we'll be reminded today, when we DO take part in His plan...we need to keep the focus on the TRUTH. There's no need to add to or take away from what God has already established. It's perfect the w...

In today's message, we'll be reminded of who we really are. The Bible teaches us that we are ALL sinners in need of a Savior. And without salvation, we would be lost...without hope. Understand that there's nothing you can do to EARN forgiveness. There's nothing you can do to become sanctified. You cannot MAKE yourself righteous. But God in His love for us MADE A WAY. He sent His one and only Son.....

As believers, we're called to be active members of the body of Messiah. We're called to be those who minister to the lost and dying of this world. But sometimes in the ministry, we can become distracted. We allow ourselves to get carried away with details that aren't important. We follow after our OWN ideas and understanding... rather than continuing to lean on God for HIS guidance. But as we'll l...

As believers, we're called to serve in God's ministry. But we're not to serve in our own strength. We need the power of our Heavenly Father to do so. You see our adversary, Satan, is cunning. It's His goal to steal, kill and destroy. And in the flesh, we are no match. But that's why we need to allow God to work in and THROUGH us. We need to allow HIS plan and HIS purpose to prevail. Understand tha...

In our study today, we'll be discussing the end of David's life. But what can be said of King David? Just look at his time on this earth. In his younger years, he killed a giant. He trusted in God to give him the victory. He was on the run...trying to keep himself from the wrath of King Saul. He committed adultery with Bathsheba. And then he went a step further and tried to cover it up by KILLING...

We often talk about David's short-comings. He committed adultery with Bathsheba. He had her husband, Uriah the Hittite, murdered. But as the Scriptures teach us, David was a man after God's own heart. Now that doesn't mean that He's perfect. It just means that He is committed to walking according to the ways of God. And when He fails, He's quick to repent and turn away from that sin. It also means...

In our message today, we'll be encouraged to keep pressing on...to keep our head in the game...to focus on the prize...to keep on fighting. But what we must realize...is that the battle is not ours to fight. We have to submit to God and allow HIM to work through us. Understand that there's NOTHING we can do without Him. We need His Word, we need His wisdom, we need His powerful GRACE. Without Him....

Sin is serious. Sadly, it's been made a joking matter in the world today. And that's because Satan has deceived a lot of people into believing it's not a real place. But it is. And that's why we need to be diligent in TELLING people about it. People need to know that if they die in their sin...they will be lost forever. But don't leave it at THAT. Tell them that there's HOPE! Hope in JESUS! Share...

In the world today, it's easy to get caught up in the 'little things.' We often get distracted by what's NOT important. And when that happens, we take our eyes off of God and what He wants us to accomplish. So how can we keep from being distracted by the things of this world? Well, we need to keep our gaze on God and His Word. We need to focus on His plan and purpose for our lives. We need to be s...

In today's message, we'll be reminded of the influence we have on those around us...especially our children. Understand that they are VERY observant. They see our successes...and they see our failures. They see when we are trusting in God...and they see when we're lacking in faith. So what kind of influence do YOU want to have on your children? Do you want them to grow up in a home that trusts in...

Many people say: 'It's my life and I'll do what I want to.' But what they don't understand...is that what they DO...will always affect others. This is especially true in the case of sexual sin. And that's what we'll be discussing today. Don't think for even a MINUTE that your sin won't create a ripple affect of negative consequences. When we enter into the realm of sexual sin, we affect the person...

The Scriptures are clear. There is no one who does good...not even one. No one, accept Jesus, can claim to be without sin. There are times, even as believers, that we'll fail. But it's what we do AFTER we sin...that matters. Do we try to hide it? Do we lie about it? Do we push it aside and refuse to deal with it? Well, as children of God...we're to respond how DAVID did. You see, when he was made...

In today's message, we'll learn how merciful and forgiving our Heavenly Father is. You see, we are all sinners in need of forgiveness. And as we'll learn from today's text, David was too. Yes it's true. David was a man after God's own heart. But that didn't mean that he was PERFECT. David was a sinner. He was a murderer and an adulterer. But it doesn't matter WHAT you've done...as long as you have...

Jesus said, I am the Way, the Truth, and the Life. No one comes to the Father EXCEPT through me. No matter how good you are; no matter how religious you are; and no matter what you do for GOD, you can NEVER be good enough to earn your salvation. Salvation is something we CANNOT earn by doing good works nor by being part of any religious group, because salvation is ONLY available through faith in J...

The world that we live in is full of wickedness and lies. The god of this world – Satan, has blinded the minds of people through his deception and lies. Many people, even some believers in Christ, have puttered along through life and looked the other way while the world has crept into their lives and taken over. As true followers of Christ, we hold a powerful Truth that can set people free. GOD's...

GOD answers ALL our prayers. He answers some with Yes, some with No, and He answers some with Wait. GOD knows what is best for us. He gives us what we need, WHEN we need it, NOT when we think we should have it. GOD's goal is to conform us into the image of Christ, and He does so by delaying and sometimes by not giving what we asked of Him. It is to test our faith and grow us into trusting Him. Reg...

Every good and perfect gift is from above. Everything we have and everything we are comes from the gracious hands of our heavenly Father. From every breath we take, every second of our lives, to every relationship we enjoy with the people we love. The provisions we receive beyond what we need, and the blessing of life every morning we wake up. When we begin to understand that ALL that we have come...

Throughout the years, people have tried to come up with their own way to God...with their own way to worship Him. They have even come up with their own VERSION of who He is. But what we must understand is this: That it doesn't matter what WE think...it only matters what God's Word SAYS. The Scriptures are clear. There's only one way to God...and that's through His Son, Jesus. And there's only one...

We have an enemy...and his name is Satan. He's a foe that we're not to play around with. His goal is to steal, kill, and destroy. And in our own flesh, we are no match. We'll be defeated. But as believers, we need not fear him...because we have a god who is FOR us. The Scriptures teach us that greater is HE the is in US...than he that is in the world. What that means is that God is more powerful t...

As believers, we understand that this world is not our home. We're only here for a short time. We're here to do our Father's business. We can't allow the things of this world to take precedence over the things of God. We're to submit to Him and His Word. We're to be His hands and feet. We're to share the truth in LOVE with others. Remember that Abraham waited for the city which has foundations, wh...

In today's lesson, we'll be reminded that there are two kingdoms. And you can only be a part of ONE. You can't say that you're a child of God...and then turn around and live in opposition to His Word. You're either FOR Him...or you're against Him. Now of COURSE there will be times when we fail...when we sin. But it's what we DO after we realize our sin...that matters. If we love God and want to do...
