Christian Sermons from Calvary Chapel Greenmeadow, North Kingstown, RI

Most of the things that we think are important have only temporal consequences. The big question is, what are you going to do with Jesus? Recognize that He is the holy one of God and repent. We must sanctify ourselves and grow in grace to serve Him.

We have to have a healthy measure of caution in our walk of faith. True spirits acknowledge that Jesus came in the flesh but anyone who goes ahead of the Word, following human tradition that does not put God first, is a false teacher.

For the Christian, walking means practical daily living and consistent forward progress in our faith. Walking in the truth means to obey it, not just to study it or argue about it. We have a choice to follow the truth. Walk as children of light.

Encouraging words bearing the God's truth and said with meaning are what people need to hear. It all starts with grace (God's unmerited favor), mercy, (which are new every morning) and peace, (which for the believer comes through prayer).

There were false teachers long ago and there are today too. Fortunately, we have the truth and it will remain forever because it is the truth of God. We must know the truth, believe the truth, and obey the truth by abiding in His word.

God has promised to provide and to be with us in times of trouble. He turns our valleys of despair into doors of hope. Hope placed in God does not disappoint. When we place our trust and hope in Him, even against all odds, we are blessed.

We become like that which we worship. If we worship idols, we become empty and lifeless. Anything that takes God's place in our lives is an idol and when we worship them it affects us and our children for generations. Rid yourself of your idols.

If we truly know Jesus, it will change the way we live. Through the Holy Spirit, we know that we are children of God. Jesus Christ has come and given us understanding so that we may know Him. Therefore, we must stay close to Him.

When we see a brother caught in sin, the first person we should talk to about it is God. Pray for that person rather than gossip. Never assume that someone is beyond the help that your prayers can bring.

Jesus suffered temptation and is able to sympathize with us, so we can approach God with freedom and confidence. When we desire something, the first step is to ask, but we must do so in accordance with His will. We should first pray to know His will.
