Be Reconciled to God

Principle of Measurement, Part 2

In this second part of the Principle of Measurement, we look at how God gives even more to those who have, and for those who do not have even what they have is taken away. What does this mean? And more importantly, how does that affect me? We will see that although this may seem strange to us, it really makes a lot of sense if we look at this more carefully.

Principle of Measurement

God has given us certain “life principles” by which we are to live our lives by if we want to experience the abundance of the Christian life. One such principle is what we might call the principle of measurement. Jesus said on several occasions that by our standard of measure it shall be measured to us in return. This can be applied to many aspects of our lives, including how we treat others and how we give. Embracing this principle can change our lives!

SHOW LESS

Humility and Repentance

This is the last of three messages about walking in humility. In this message we look at the need for living a life of repentance....that is, we do not excuse even the smallest of sins. Rather, we take every bit of pride, being judgmental, greed, etc to the Lord. We will see that such a way of living will bring times of refreshing from the presence of the Lord (Acts 3:19​).

Humility and the Sinfulness of Men

In this message we continue to talk about humility. But we see that to truly walk in humility, we must have a Biblical understanding of the sinfulness of man. This truth, or doctrine, is not something that should be depressing. Actually, this truth brings freedom. We no longer have to keep up the deception of being who we are not..... which leads to pride. When we understand our sinfulness, we set ourselves up for receiving God’s grace.

God is Calling the Church to Deeper Humility

During these confusing and turbulent times we must be listening to what God is wanting to teach us. One thing He is wanting to do within the Church is to take us to a deeper level of humility. In this message we see the high value God places on humility, and how He is opposed to all forms of pride. In fact, we can count on God to expose pride in us.

Weathering the Storms

One thing in life is certain. We will have storms on this lifetime. We will look at a couple of times when Jesus and His disciples encountered storms. What did Jesus want to teach them about storms? We will see that among other things that God is wanting to take us to a new level of trust.

Looking Ahead To 2021...

As we look ahead to the year 2021, and really for the foreseeable future, the one thing we can probably count on is uncertainty. Uncertainty is forcing us to learn to trust the Lord at a new level. That is good. God does not want us to be floundering or fighting uncertainty but He is wanting us to learn to live and thrive with uncertainty. We also talk about the need to focus on God’s purposes and goals, rather than our own. That’s because His purposes will be established in spite of the uncertainty of today’s world.

What Has God Spoken About Us?

We often talk about all the Old Testament prophecies concerning the birth, life, and resurrection of Jesus Christ. But there are also many Old Testament prophecies concerning the people of God... some amazing things spoken to us who are living after the time of Jesus. In this message we look at just a few of these prophetic words given to us in the book of Isaiah. These will encourage and motivate us for the destiny God has for us.

The Wonder of the Incarnation, Part 2

We continue to look at the wonder of the Incarnation. It is truly amazing how God planned the sending of His Son to earth in great detail. The focus in this message is how He planned for Jesus to born in Bethlehem. We talk about how He did this, and what is the prophetic significance of being born in Bethlehem.
