Christian Sermons from Calvary Chapel Greenmeadow, North Kingstown, RI

Mary made a courageous decision to accept the message of the angel despite the risk of losing her reputation, her plans, her betrothed, and even her life. Saying yes to God in a big thing usually comes after saying yes to Him in a series of small things.

One of the benefits of being a child of God is being an heir who will share in the inheritance of glory. That knowledge should affect how we live presently in this world. Having a pure and humble king requires being pure and humble children.

One reason why God's love for us goes beyond our understanding is that it does not depend on anything we have done. He loved us while we were still sinners and nothing can separate believers from the love of Christ. He has made us sons and daughters.

We have a choice everyday to open the Word or not. It is imperative that we do so that we can abide in the Lord. We can only be at home in a place where we spend time. As we do, our prayers and desires will be aligned with God’s and He will shelter us.

Today’s society is filled with anxiety and worry. Prayer with thanksgiving and praise are the answers to anxiety. It is not just for when things go well, but even in the middle of persecution. The path to peace is giving thanks in all circumstances.

God never intended for us to live in monotony. If you wake up feeling that way, you are probably not doing what you were meant to do. Fulfillment comes from doing rewarding, meaningful, and purposeful things and attaching yourself to God's calling.

We who believe are all anointed by the Holy One and so we know Jesus. Those who do not know Him have their eyes blinded by the ruler of this world and cannot understand the things of God. Our anointing sets us apart and comes with responsibility.

We study the last times because it reminds us that this world is not our home. It should cause us to worship God knowing that the final outcome is the defeat of evil. Given that the days are short, we should be concerned for those that do not know Jesus.

Christians need to be ready, in season, and out, to preach the Word. This requires a sincere walk of faith. The days of the prophets are long gone, and so today, we hear from God through Jesus, His Word, and our conscience, which is led by the Spirit.

We are told not to love the world and this is to be interpreted as the world “system” of sin. Satan uses the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life to tempt us. We need to pray that God will sanctify us through His word.
