Christian Sermons from Calvary Chapel Greenmeadow, North Kingstown, RI

In business, relationships, and sexual behavior, we are called to be set apart. When necessary, we must remove ourselves from situations and conversations. Flee, remove temptations, and maintain accountability. God has given us everything we need to live godly lives.

Singing praise, sharing with neighbors, worshiping with reverence and awe, and bearing the faults of others are just some of the ways we can please God. It is giving ourselves completely to Him that He desires, and He will equip us to do so.

IN all things, make it a habit to give thanks. We are not entitled to anything, and when we are ungrateful, God's heart is saddened. Being thankful sweetens us, but being critical makes us a clanging cymbal.

How should we bless others? Saying, "God bless you" put's God's name upon that person and God will bless them (Num 6). But fellowship with other believers is another form of blessing. Pray that God in His strength would cause our love to overflow.

As Christians, part of our concern for others needs to be concern for their spiritual walk. It is God who strengthens us and we need to call on Him to help us stand firm and to pray for one another that the enemy would not "sift us as wheat."

All saved souls attain five things: new life, deliverance from bad behavior, maturity in Christ, a covering for sin, and a new purpose. Once you have been saved, the only proper response is to go and tell your friends.

Three things common to all Christians are that we need help and encouragement in our faith, we face trials, and we are in battle. The enemy wants us to trust in ourselves, but God is faithful and will not let us be tempted beyond what we can bear.

Face-to-face fellowship is very important, but Satan wants to keep us from gathering together, from growing, and from learning. We can take heart in knowing that Satan does not win in the end, even as we spend time with other Christians in the present.

Christians are supposed to be previews of heaven. God sends us like an envelope in which He has placed His message. Sharing the gospel is simply telling others what you know and sharing that hopeful message.

Christian suffering and persecution are realities today. We should be aware of the plight of God's people throughout the world and pray for both them and their tormentors. The price of following Jesus is high--even your very life.
