Christian Sermons from Calvary Chapel Greenmeadow, North Kingstown, RI

Continually ask God the purpose for which you have been called. Guard that thing and be faithful in it, recognizing that we bring nothing to the task except our sinfulness, but that God provides the strength mercy, grace, love, and faithfulness we need.

One phrase Jesus repeated after His resurrection was, "Peace be with you." We can be thankful for His peace during times of sadness and doubt, but that peace is also a means by which we can be encouraged to His service.

We need to be on guard from false teachers who would mislead us through fancy words without knowledge. True teaching will always conform to the Gospel of redemption and will echo whole, uncorrupt, and healthy doctrine.

What would you give up everything for? Jesus gave up everything for the sake of God's people. Does your relationship with Him define and direct all other aspects of your life? Are you sacrificing anything (money, beauty, friends, etc.) to follow Him?

What things do you collect and why? We not only collect physical items, but also thoughts and patterns of thinking. Some of these are automatic and negative. The Bible gives us promises that can be a positive alternative to the "A.N.T.s."

The book of Romans makes it clear that all of humanity is guilty before God. Yet faith is the door to justification and with it come many blessings, including peace, access to grace, grace to stand, joy in tribulation, perseverance, and character.

In this passage we see that Timothy was instructed to stay in Ephesus to combat false teachers and errant doctrine. We all have a tendency to want to hear something new and exciting, but knowing the true Word will keep us from being fooled.

In this message, Pastor Rich introduces us to Timothy and his strengths and failings. In spite of his weaknesses, Paul found him helpful. What has God gifted you to do? Do you see something that needs to be done or improved? Speak up and step out!

Don't be discouraged with the things happening in our world. Remember that when it is all said and done, the Lord will prevail. Keep in mind that we are on the winning team!

Paula Chapman shares concerning her sister's death. We all face death, but death is not the end. We have a hope beyond this life and that hope is found in Jesus Christ, in the cross, and in the resurrection.
