Christian Sermons from Calvary Chapel Greenmeadow, North Kingstown, RI

As the creator of all life, God has the right to shake things up in our world. He speaks to us to let us know what needs to change, often through His Word, His Son, and His Spirit. The question is not whether He speaks, but will we listen when He does?

Just as healthy people can't make you healthy, but sick people can make you sick, holiness does not spread as easily as unholiness. If your life has been dry, understand your mistakes and move on without dwelling on the past. Holiness comes from God.

Sometimes God needs to shake up our lives to get rid of things that do not belong there. But after that, He blesses us with His presence. The presence of God is what brings glory to a place and it is what brings us peace.

God called Moses to complete the tabernacle, but the work did not start before Moses spent time with God. God makes it possible for each of us to have a close personal relationship with Him. Spend time with God and then finish the work!

We sometimes look back and reminisce about the good days, but it is more important to look at what God has given us today. He has given us work to do and the strength to do it. His spirit will be with us and we need not fear.

When we leave God out of our plans, He sometimes withholds His blessings. We are warned here to give careful thought to our ways, to do what we set out to do for the Lord, and to put God first, not put Him off.

Zephaniah spoke against the practice of worshiping other Gods along with the real God. We cannot live with one foot in the faith and one in the world. The emphasis is on turning back towards the Lord in repentance knowing that He delights in us.

Rather than just prophesy about destruction, Habakkuk pleaded for it. God sometimes administers justice in ways we don't expect, however, like by using evil people. When we are seeking to understand His will, it is okay to wrestle with God.

Jonah went to Nineveh about 150 years before Nahum and the people turned back to God. By the time of Nahum though, they had gone back to their evil ways. Nahum warns the city of God's coming wrath, reminding us that although slow to anger, God is just.

Four things that matter: Faith, Family & Friends, Fellowship, and our Future in heaven. We spend a lot of time on distractions, but each day is a gift and we need to spend some of it with God so that He may satisfy us with His unfailing love.
