Don’t Let God Pass You By
Series: No Series
Jesus had planned to pass by the disciples because they had not understood who he was. However, He decided to have mercy on them and got in the boat with them to save them from the storm. God has every right to pass us by and leave us to judgement for our sins. But He is the Great Shepherd who wants to draw His sheep to Him. So, He extends His grace and mercy to all who will receive Christ as Savior and Lord. Mark 6: 45-52 (HCSB) (Tablet video not available due to technical difficulties)

Sep 10, 2017Bacon and Eggs? (Moving Beyond Ourselves)Series: No SeriesAs Christians, we need to move beyond ourselves in serving, loving, and building relationships. Our goal should be with one mind and one voice to glorify the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ. Paul discusses how food was a stumbling block in the early Church because people judged each other based on what they ate. We are not to be judgmental of others. Each person will one day give an account of themselves to God and He is the one who will judge. We are to love and lead people to know Jesus, and not be a stumbling block to them. Romans 14, Romans 15:1-7 (NKJV)

Mar 5, 2017Giving Is Worship (Part 2)Series: No SeriesLast week we looked at Malachi 3 and what the Old Testament said about tithing. Most of the Old Testament was written for pre-resurrection time, although the moral laws of the Old Testament are still relevant today. We must compare the Old and New Testament laws to determine which are applicable to the Old Testament Jews and which are applicable to the New Testament Christians. In the New Testament, we are told to give generously, give cheerfully, and to set aside something on the first day of the week for the work of the Church. Galatians 3:23-26, 2 Corinthians 9:6-11, 1 Corinthians 16:2, Matthew 6:33 (HCSB)

Feb 26, 2017Giving Is Worship (Part 1)Series: No SeriesMalachi 3 is often used as the text for tithing. However, as Bro. Mike points out, this text was written during Nehemiah’s time to Israelites who were still under the Mosiac Law. Malachi was chastising them because the tithe was supposed to be used to support the Levite priests and the priests were out working in the fields because the Israelites were not tithing. It is important when looking at Old Testament laws to look at what the New Testament says about them. Giving for today’s Christians, according to the New Testament, looks very different from the tithe of the Old Testament. Giving is an exhibition of faith, not a requirement of law for the believer. Malachi 3 (HCSB)
