Christian Sermons from Calvary Chapel Greenmeadow, North Kingstown, RI

Do you rely on a feeling of peace to know that you are in God's will? It is not our own level of comfort that matters, but the peace that comes from Christ is something we can rely on. That type of peace comes through prayer.

It is normal for us to fear and to ask ourselves, "what if?" When this question arises, answer it with: "God will help us at break of day" and "There is a river whose streams make glad the city of God." Then we can be still and know that He is God.

Just as we expect others to accept our idiosyncrasies, we are told to bear those of others. Christians have a high calling to be a forgiving people and to display the grace and love necessary to live in peace with one another.

Although today, Thanksgiving is often viewed as just a prelude to Black Friday, Bradford, Washington, and Lincoln saw it differently. They, like David, Nehemiah, Daniel, and Paul, demonstrated thankful hearts.

The average person is said to tell 2.92 lies in 10 minutes and unwholesome, talk, words, and jokes are prevalent among Christians today. But these filthy clothes don't suite us any more. Ask for God's help in avoiding these things.

Our earthly nature, and in particular, sexual immorality, is something we must put to death. Divorce, abortion, and sexually transmitted disease are examples of how it will affect you and those around you.

Is it possible to be too heavenly minded? On the contrary, the way to maximize our earthly good is to be focused on things above and faithfully server the Lord. Look up! Our citizenship is in heaven.

Rituals and regulations do not provide reality to our spiritual lives. They are only shadows of the essence of the Christian faith, which is Jesus. Those who practice them serve the flesh. Instead, hold firmly to Christ.

It's only what Christ has done that matters. We were dead and separated from Him and there is nothing we can do to make us alive again. Because we are forgiven through Christ, we ought to forgive others.

Often times the obstacles to understanding God's word are in our hearts and not in our heads. The resurrected Jesus rebuked two with this problem on the road to Emmaus, and then He explained the scriptures to them thoroughly.
