Sanctified Body

Sermon, , , ,

Jesus came into the world in a body specially prepared for Him (Psalm 40:6). So are we according to Psalm 139. But we need the perfect obedience of Christ’s body applied to our hearts to help us live the life God willed for our bodies. And God accomplishes that when we not only live by the Spirit but also walk in the Spirit (Galatians 5:22-26)

Fruit of the Spirit

Sermon, , , ,

We are called to love our neighbor as ourself. Jesus said to do unto others as we would have them do unto us. These do not come natural to us but require His Spirit. But as a tree produces fruit according to its nature. Those who are saved, they have His Spirit and will produce fruit in accord with His nature. His fruit is love, joy, peace, long-suffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control.

Greater Than Angels

The writer to the Hebrews elaborates on how the Messiah is so much greater than the created supernatural beings known as angels. Using the Old Testament writings, he shows how certain psalms point out that the Messiah is so much more than just a man.

Be an Example

Father Reveals Son

Sermon, , , , ,

Jesus could be mysterious at times. So when He asked His disciples questions, it’s a wonder that someone would speak up. Thankfully Simon Peter would speak up. And His answer this time is as solid as a rock, a boulder to be precise. Only the Father could reveal such timeless truth for someone to believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of the Living God.

Like-minded in Christ

Sermon, , , , ,

Unity without uniformity. Coming together to the same goal under the same Lord empowered by the same Spirit to be one body in Christ. Paul teaches the Philippians believers of a new way without selfish competition and pride, but of being like-minded. It’s not the norm in their culture, nor in our culture. But in Christ, we can be reconciled and useful for the gospel.

Walking Worthy

Sermon, , , ,

Walk worthy of being named for Jesus and of having His Holy Spirit indwelling you. Do not grieve the Spirit by walking more like the world that does not know God with their faculties dulled and blinded to the things of God who is Life. Rather lay aside those behaviors that are corrupt and be cleansed and renewed in your thinking through the Word of God so that your behaviors resemble Christ.

Growing Together

Sermon, , , ,

Unity within the body of Christ is not to say there are not different roles and ways to serve in the same body. Christ the Head has designed His body to have a diversity of people within the body so that every one can be equipped and participate in the work that needs to be done. That is a part of growing to maturity in Christ – serving in love through His Spirit.
