Christian Sermons from Calvary Chapel Greenmeadow, North Kingstown, RI

Are you a true disciple of Jesus, do you spend time with Him, and do you really know Him? If so, would you ever deny it for fear of not fitting-in? He will restore us, but we may weep bitterly. True followers of Christ cannot hide; we will stand out.

Is truth relative, or is it absolute? Does it matter? Where does truth come from? Truth comes from the nature of God himself, is unchanging and important. We are sanctified by His Word, which is truth. Everyone on the side of truth listens to Jesus.

Jesus is King over all, but is He the King of your life? Proclaiming to be the King of Kings was the reason for His crucifixion. What then shall we do with Jesus? Praise Him, for we used to dwell in darkness, but He has led us into His kingdom of light!

Temptation is a universal human experience but God is not even remotely responsible for it. Sin begins with a feeling of desire, followed by rationalization (deception), a plan to make it happen (design), and disobedience. Don't blame God for your sin.

Trials bring out information. The trial of Jesus revealed that He claimed to be the messiah. He was found guilty of making the claims, but no evidence showed that He lied. He was sentenced for Blasphemy, but He was guilt of telling the truth.

Did they bind Jesus? Could they? Jesus was bound by His love for us and that is why He was bound. We need to remember that He is the Great I Am and that He has all power and authority and He willingly gave His life for us. Therefor, we follow Him.

When faced with a heavy heart, Jesus isolated himself and prayed; yet He still had a small group of friends to share His burdens with. We too need a few good believing friends and prayer. It may not change our situation, but it will change our hearts.

If Christ was not raised, we would still be dead in our sins. Thankfully, we have eyewitness accounts of the empty tomb and many prophecies that predicted it. He was raised for our justification. A dead savior cannot save, but we have a living Savior.

The fall of man led to the cross, and the very thorns it brought, scarred the head of the savior. While the Romans struck His face, we kneel before it, thankful that He willingly gave up His spirit, and that although it is Friday, Sunday is coming!

We are here at this time in history for a purpose. Primarily, we are to represent Jesus in this world as His ambassadors. Are you praying for your neighbors and coworkers and looking for opportunities to share the gospel? Be a light to them.
