Christian Sermons from Calvary Chapel Greenmeadow, North Kingstown, RI

Drawing near to God is good, but how do you do it? Spend time with Him daily and all day. Listen to His word and humble yourself. Come to God by Jesus. Ask to be cleansed through the blood of Jesus. Purify your heart. Mourn and walk in the light.

Worrying about things you cannot control is neither helpful nor reasonable. It is unhealthy and unfaithful. Recognize that God provides for, protects, guides, and corrects us. Pray and decide not to worry because when God is in control, we can rest.

Our enemy is prone to slander and false accusations but Christ is in us and he is greater than our enemy. We must resist the enemy in the strength of God, not on our own strength. If we truly know Him and fight in His power, the devil will flee from us.

God only gives grace to the humble. It is a free gift and we can take no pride in having received it. Being prideful means putting yourself above others but being humble means being not far from the ground Humble yourselves in the presence of the Lord.

We make decisions daily and hourly such as whom we befriend and to which influences we conform. As believers, we are called to be in this world but not to be a friend of the world's system. Choosing the world makes us enemies of God. God longs for us.

Instead of loving and praying for those with whom we disagree, we are often tempted to draw up battle plans. Selfishness, envy, and strife lead to quarreling. We also fight when we don’t get what we want, but many things we want are not God’s desire.

Don’t be afraid to be a peace maker. In any conflict, be humble--it is probably at least partially your fault. To achieve peace, you must seek purity and work hard to pursue harmony with others.

Join us for an Easter message of life and of hope focusing on the last words of Jesus. We do not know how much time we have so we must be ready to tell people what Jesus has done in our lives. He is coming soon and Jesus will have the last word.

Wisdom from above starts with the fear of the Lord. This kind of wisdom is not natural; if we lack it, we need to pray to receive it. This requires a humble spirit. God's wisdom is pure, peaceful, reasonable, merciful, and sincere.

Do jealousies find fertile ground in your heart? No Christian should envy even the most successful unbeliever. Actively thank God for the blessings He has provided and repent of covetousness. Satan tempts us with these things but they lead to disorder.
