    17/12/2023 Duração: 46min

    Matthew 6:25-34For to us a child is born, to us a son is given, and the government will be on his shoulders. And he will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.Isaiah 9:6Don’t worry about your pastDon’t worry about the opinion of others. “Peace I leave with you; my peace I give to you; not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your hearts be troubled, neither let them be afraid.”John 14:27“Do not worry about your life.”  Matthew 6:25“Can any one of you by worrying add a single hour to your life?”Matthew 6:27For he will command his angels concerning you to guard you in all your ways; they will lift you up in their hands so that you will not strike your foot against a stone.” Psalm 91:11-12Don’t worry about growing old.Worry is an achievementWhat, then, shall we say in response to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us? No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us.Romans 8: 31,37Worry is a killer.  Worry is a sin.  Don

  • The Gift No One Wants

    Luke 1:26-38There is so much that we can learn from Mary in her response to trouble and pain. Mary knew very well that there was going to be pain associated with this announcement. The first thing that we can learn from Mary is to: 1. Be honest in our pain. We must first acknowledge pain in order to receive healing. Pain reveals Where you put your trust & where you find your peace. Mary was greatly troubled at his words and wondered what kind of greeting this might be. Luke 1:29 Mary was told why Jesus was to be born in Luke 2:35 “so that the thoughts of many hearts will be revealed. And a sword will pierce your own soul too.”The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit.Psalm 34:18God wants to sit with us in our pain. 2. Be patient in our pain. The second thing we see from Mary through this process is she waited to hear from the messenger of God. She quietted herself to hear what the angel had to say. We will never learn a single thing without pain. C. S. Lewis said that “G

  • A Season of Praise

    Psalm 103:1-21. Thanksgiving: The Holy Spirit is Always at Work in Everyone EverywhereLet all that I am praise the Lord;with my whole heart, I will praise his holy name.Let all that I am praise the Lord;may I never forget the good things he does for me.Psalm 103:1-2 NLTThe Lord isn’t really being slow about his promise, as some people think. No, he is being patient for your sake. He does not want anyone to be destroyed, but wants everyone to repent.2 Peter 3:9 NLTThe Spirit you received does not make you slaves, so that you live in fear again; rather, the Spirit you received brought about your adoption to sonship. And by him we cry, “Abba, Father.” The Spirit himself testifies with our spirit that we are God’s children. Now if we are children, then we are heirs—heirs of God and co-heirs with Christ, if indeed we share in his sufferings in order that we may also share in his glory. Romans 8:15-17 “This is my Father’s world. O let me ne’er forgetThat though the wrong seems oft so strong, God is the ruler yet. T

    John 18:37 NKJV37 Pilate therefore said to Him, “Are You a king then?”Jesus answered, “You say rightly that I am a king. For this cause I was born, and for this cause I have come into the world, that I should bear witness to the truth. Everyone who is of the truth hears My voice.”MATTHEW 28:18-21 NIV18 Then Jesus came to them and said, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. 19 Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, 20 and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.” HOW DO WE LIVE WITH KINGDOM PURPOSE? 1. MAKE IT ABOUT GOD AND OTHERS John 15:9-14 NIV9 “As the Father has loved me, so have I loved you. Now remain in my love. 10 If you keep my commands, you will remain in my love, just as I have kept my Father’s commands and remain in his love. 11 I have told you this so that my joy may be in you and that your joy may be complete. 12

    II Corinthians 8:1-7 A “faith promise” offering is simply FAITH in God to provide an amount of money followed by a PROMISE to give it. Paul called this the “grace of giving” (2 Corinthians 8:7). Grace is always a provision of something we don’t have. A “faith promise” offering is a commitment to give what we will trust God to provide.I. An offering supplied by God’s grace. “And now, brothers, we want you to know about the grace that God has given the Macedonian churches… They gave as much as they were able, and even beyond their ability… See that you also excel in the grace of giving.”II Corinthians 8:1-7The grace of new opportunity  The grace of discipline  The grace of the unusual  II. An offering to be completed within a year.“Last year you were the first not only to give, but also to have the desire to do so. Now finish the work so that your eager willingness to do it may be matched by our completion of it.”II Corinthians 8:10-11III. An offering to be carefully administered.  “We want to avoid any critici

    Ecclesiastes 4:7-12A life without connection brings:a. Isolation“Rising from the debris of our lost values is the new value on the individual. The ‘me’ generation has given way to a ‘me’ world. The question is, how will the church, the ultimate ‘WE’ organization, adjust?” – Church Consultant, Lyle Schaller in The Connecting Church by Randy FrazeeLoneliness is a warning light on the dashboard of your life that confirms that you are running low on the primary fuel you need: connection.b.

  • The Sexual Revolution

    22/10/2023 Duração: 38min

    Matthew 19:1-9The culture does not need from the Church anger and judgment nor accommodation and compromise. The Church’s best posture is to joyfully teach and model God’s original design and intent while loving, accepting and forgiving ourselves and one another when we fall short.I. Isn’t this much ado about nothing?II. Why is the Church so focused on these issues?III. Can’t we agree to disagree?Contend for the faith that was once for all delivered to the saints.Jude 3 God gave them up in the lusts of their hearts to impurity, to the dishonoring of their bodies among themselves, because they exchanged the truth about God for a lie and worshiped and served the creature rather than the Creator.Romans 1:24-25Consequently, their women exchanged natural relations for those that are contrary to nature; and the men likewise gave up natural relations with women and were consumed with passion for one another, men committing shameless acts with men and receiving in themselves the due penalty for their error.Romans 1:2

Unforgiveness is destructiveUnforgiveness makes you weak because it makes you subject to the weakness of another.The great paradox of Christian forgiveness is that as long as I stay in a forgiving mode, I am stronger than those who are pursuing me to hurt me.III. The grace to forgive1. Forgiveness is a matter of choice not emotion.2. God will do through us what we cannot do ourselves.3. Understand that forgiveness is a process4. Remember, the power of God to forgive is in you through the person and work of the Holy Spirit.

    Psalm 1:1-3Introduction to the Bible: *The most popular/preeminent book 7 billion total, 44 million copies per year *The most powerful/influential book The Bible is preeminent in influence. Why? Because it has the power to change lives! *The most precious book (Matthew 4:4)I. A manual for life — God has spokenChristianity is a revealed faith. We cannot find out about God unless God reveals Himself. God has revealed Himself in a person, Jesus Christ. He is God’s ultimate revelation (Hebrews 1:1-2; II Timothy 3:16-17). If it is God’s Word, then it must be our supreme authority for what we believe and how we live. It’s a manual for life. II. A love letter from God – God speaksIt is also a love letter from God to you. John 5:39-40 The Bible is only so wonderful and exciting because it is about Jesus. It helps us come into a relationship with God through Jesus Christ. *To those who are not Christians First, He brings faith to those who are not yet Christians.

Are you [actually] unaware or ignorant [of the fact] that God’s kindness leads you to repentance [that is, to change your inner self, your old way of thinking—seek His purpose for your life]?Romans 2:4 Amplified BibleGodly sorrow brings repentance that leads to salvation and leaves no regret, but worldly sorrow brings death.

    John 3:16-21I. THE PROBLEMAll have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.Romans 3:23The pollution of sin:What comes out of a man is what makes him unclean. For from within, out of men’s hearts, come evil thoughts, sexual immorality, theft, murder, adultery, greed, malice, deceit, lewdness, envy, slander, arrogance and folly. All these evils come from inside and make a man ‘unclean.’Mark 7:20-23The power of sin:Everyone who sins is a slave to sin.John 8:34The penalty for sin:For the wages of sin is death.Romans 6:23The partition of sin:Surely the arm of the Lord is not too short to save, nor his ear too dull to hear. But your iniquities have separated you from your God; your sins have hidden his face from you, so that he will not hear.Isaiah 59:1-2II. THE SOLUTIONThe “self-substitution” of God:He Himself bore our sins in His body on the tree…by His wounds you have been healed.I Peter 2:24The agony of the Cross:We all, like sheep, have gone astray, each of us has turned to his own way; and the Lord has laid

    Isaiah 1:18-20I. Public worship connects us to God.For where two or three gather in my name, there am I with them.Matthew 18:20II. Public worship inspires us to faithful living.And let us consider how we may spur one another on toward love and good deeds, not giving up meeting together, as some are in the habit of doing, but encouraging one another—and all the more as you see the Day approaching.Hebrews 10:24-25Two are better than one, because they have a good return for their labor: If either of them falls down, one can help the other up. But pity anyone who falls and has no one to help them up. Also, if two lie down together, they will keep warm. But how can one keep warm alone? Though one may be overpowered, two can defend themselves. A cord of three strands is not quickly broken.Ecclesiastes 4:9-12III. Public worship ennobles us for higher purpose.But you are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, God’s special possession, that you may declare the praises of him who called you out of darkness
