Are human beings even less than a speck and insignificant in the cosmos? This is exactly what atheistic evolutionists want us to believe. Their philosophy of the absolute materiality of everything implies that human beings are next to nothing.
If anyone desires to come after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow Me. For whoever desires to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for My sake will find it
Next Sunday, brother Phil Sanders will be here to preach on the topic, “Jesus, Our Hope!” This is a wonderful theme that will bring us great spiritual edification and nourishment.
Please be praying for the success of this event. We want as many as we can get to come and hear brother Sanders speak.
Jesus came to bring the abundant life (John 10:10). Jesus doesn’t want us to just survive—He wants us to live! The key to living is putting spiritual things first in our lives.
The groundhog is right only 39 percent of the time, yet he keeps trying. Not all will respond to the gospel (Luke 13:23-24), but like Jesus, we must never give up.
Sometimes we overgeneralize and jump to conclusions. This is a bad practice.
This is an opportunity for us to practice the great commission of Jesus. “Go into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature” (Mark 16:15).
People have long sought to justify their desires to pursue a life of pleasure and invented many rationalizations along the way. One of these rationalizations is the doctrine of salvation by faith only. It is one of the greatest lies repeated today.
It is time to look forward and go forward! This new year has some great opportunities in store for us to work and serve.
Do we obey perfectly? No, but Jesus forgives those who are trying to be faithful to Him, and He knows who is and who isn’t (2 Timothy 2:19). I am so thankful for Jesus.
if we read the context of these passages, we will see that the verses are talking about the coming of the Messiah and His work to establish His church.
Some will not endure sound doctrine because of itching ears (2 Timothy 4:3-4). When the Bible challenges our desires, we must be corrected and repent (Revelation 3:19).
Unfortunately, some adults behave the same way that children do. When the church is trying to do a good work, and something happens that they don’t like, instead of constructively seeking to make things better, they take their proverbial ball and go home.
He wasn’t genuinely thankful to others when they did something helpful to him, he was just saying the words because they were useful to him in getting along in society.
Why do we do this? Because this is the mind of Christ. He was the only one who practiced perfect humility. Lifting Him up means bringing us low.
“I will add to your yoke: my father chastised you with whips, but I will chastise you with scourges!”
In Luke 14:33 he said, “So likewise, whoever of you does not forsake all that he has cannot be My disciple.” What does it take to be a disciple of Jesus?
Christians are followers of the Anointed One, Jesus, and the word “Christ” is a title, not Jesus’ last name. What an honor it is, then, to share the title “Christ” with Jesus as “Christians.” This was Peter’s point.
Have you ever heard someone say this before? It is a very hurtful thing to say and indicates deep resentment and anger.
