Christian Sermons from Calvary Chapel Greenmeadow, North Kingstown, RI

The world should marvel at us, recognizing that we have spent time with Jesus. Our speech should build others up and our lifestyle should be an example for them to follow to Jesus. Also our spirit, faith and purity should be a breath of fresh air.

You have a choice and your choice matters. In this country, we are accustomed to having many choices. For salvation, there is only one choice: Jesus. In spite of debates about Calvinism and Arminianism, we only need to worry about our responsibility.

Just because we may be tired of waiting does not mean that Christ will not return at the appointed time. We need to be watching, waiting, and ready until then. We must lead holy and godly lives, looking forward to a new heaven and a new earth.

God sent Phillip out for the purpose of speaking to one single person. We each have people right around us whom we can pray for and reach out to. Sometimes asking a simple question is all it takes to start a dialog about Jesus.

Today, some teach that the second coming of Christ has already happened, just as some taught during the first century of the Church. But the Bible teaches that there will be no doubt when He returns. Make sure you are ready!

If we are not asking God in prayer to show us what He wants us to do, perhaps it is because we don't want to do it. Yet if we do nothing, how can God use us? We must abide in Him, Christ Jesus, who enables us to do good works.

Although modern technology helps us to keep in touch across the miles, there is nothing like being face-to-face. In heaven, we will be face-to-face with one another and with God. But hell is a place of separation from God and everlasting destruction.

God is just and He will administer His justice perfectly. All wrongs will eventually be set right and we too will be judged. Until that time comes believers should trust in God, knowing that what God's justice demands, His grace, love, and mercy provide.

Given that we cannot even keep the Sabbath day holy, it is clear that we all need forgiveness. The good news is that Christians receive forgiveness continuously. How well do we do with repeatedly forgiving others?

Faith and love lead to perseverance, a cheerful or hopeful endurance, a steady determination never to give up. Pray for that sort of faith and love and never give up. Your work will be rewarded.
