Matt 12 – The Lord of the Sabbath and the Promised Messiah (pt2 of 3)

November 29, 2012 By ray

1) Jesus shows that religion is all about rules. 1 At that time Jesus went through the grainfields on the Sabbath. His disciples were hungry and began to pick some heads of grain and eat them. 2 When the Pharisees saw this, they said to him, “Look! Your disciples are doing what is unlawful on the Sabbath.” The Pharisees’ first accusation against Jesus involved picking of grains on the Sabbath.… Read more

Deut 1: Thanksgiving Service (pt3 of 3)

November 20, 2012 By ray

To recap, grumbling is a sign that you are in a spiritual wilderness. Second, fear is one reason Christians remain in the wilderness. And lastly, sin keeps us in the wilderness. Let’s read from Deut 1:3-8. Deut 1 3 In the fortieth year, on the first day of the eleventh month, Moses proclaimed to the Israelites all that the Lord had commanded him concerning them.… Read more

Vision of the Church: Gospel Leads to Fruit (expanded)

October 10, 2012 By ray

When the Gospel is preached and there is true conversion, your life changes (fruit of the Spirit). Gal 5:22 22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, 23 gentleness and self-control. Paul – why does he use fruit? Why not say, traits? He’s using an analogy of botanical growth.… Read more

Sermon on the Mount (Matt 5-7): Being Doers of the Word (pt4 of 4)

September 17, 2012 By ray

Fourth, in the area of finances, let’s practice what Jesus says here. Matt 6:24 – Jesus mentions that if you boil it down, there are only 2 masters out there: God or Money. How do we know if our master is God or if it’s Money? The verses prior to Matt 6:24 and the verses following provide some insight.… Read more

Matthew 5:17-48: Having Love for Your Enemies is the Litmus Test (pt3 of 4)

July 31, 2012 By ray

This is the difference between justification and sanctification. The moment you accept Christ, the grace of God comes into your life and you are justified, legally pronounced righteous before God in Christ. But, as you grow in grace, you are sanctified, changed as you abide with Christ. And over time, you become more “righteous.” It’s like orphans when they are first adopted.… Read more
