Greetings, and may grace, mercy, and peace be multiplied to you.  We will be in Ephesians 6 again today to conclude the previous message. Where has our faith gone? It appears to have been lost in the complacency of everyday life. The problem isn't the people around us. Our enemy is the demons and Satan himself, and we aren't putting on the armor of God to defend against it.  And because of that, it's no wonder that the Church is struggling. This year, we want to encourage you to put on that armor daily to defend against the enemy, and hold fast to the faith in Jesus that makes this life possible.

“Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age.” Matthew 28 19-20

Greetings, and may grace, mercy, and peace be multiplied to you.  We will be in Ephesians 6 today. Humans are selfish, it’s our fallen nature. The problem is, we often care more about ourselves than others. In fact, we tend to care more about what people think about us than care about what they’re going through. This leads to us believing that other humans are the enemy, when in fact the real enemy is Satan. As we go into a new year, let’s examine our hearts for opportunities to care more for others. 

“Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age.” Matthew 28 19-20

Greetings, and may grace, mercy, and peace be multiplied to you. We will be in Luke 2 today. When you see nativity scenes, what comes to mind? Oftentimes we picture a pretty looking stable, hay everywhere, and a “manger” that looks like a comfortable cradle. In reality, there was probably animal feces all over the place, the smell was probably horrendous, and there were probably bits of animal feed still in that manger (which is basically a feeding trough). He was born into muck, our muck. He lived a rough life, and died a horrible death. In the end, He was glorified when he came back to life, and He did all this so that we could receive salvation. This Christmas, when you look at a nativity scene, remember what it was that He went through so that we could be here today.

“Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age.” Matthew 28 19-20

Greetings, and may grace, mercy, and peace be multiplied to you. We will be in Ephesians 4 and John 8 today. The concept of “relative truth” is a popular one these days. One of those “truths” is not believing that God isn’t real, and therefore believing that they won’t stand face to face with Him one day. Well, the problem with that is regardless of what you believe, the truth is absolute and you will stand before God whether or not you choose to believe it. But this truth that we have needs to be used carefully. We need to be sharing the truth in a way that is productive to the Gospel, and not in a way that builds it for the sake of building it. And that is by sharing the truth in love.

“Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age.” Matthew 28 19-20

Greetings, and may grace, mercy, and peace be multiplied to you. We will be in Romans 7 and 8 today.  Our natural desire is to sin. The reason? Sin is fun. You read that right, sin is fun to commit, otherwise it wouldn’t be a problem. We as Christians have Jesus, but we are just as capable of committing sin as those without Christ. Jesus pulled the ultimate reverse uno card, and became the sinners that we are. So when we get drunk, Jesus becomes a drunkard. When we badmouth others, Jesus becomes a badmouth. He took the weight of the world’s sins upon himself, just so that we can be free from it. So if you’re facing temptation, remember what it was that Jesus went through, and experience freedom.

“Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age.” Matthew 28 19-20

Greetings, and may grace, mercy, and peace be multiplied to you. We will be in Colossians 2 today. Continuing with the theme of last week’s message, we are to be people that rejoice in good times and bad. But not only that, but we should also be grateful. Car breaks down? Be grateful to God. Health issue? Be grateful to God. Lose your job? Again, be grateful to God. It sounds counterintuitive, but God knows more than we do, and if we give God our gratitude in all circumstances, then we will be able to serve Him with our time, tithe, and talents, and He will provide for us. 

“Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age.” Matthew 28 19-20

Greetings, and may grace, mercy, and peace be multiplied to you. We will be in Philippians 4 today. We tend to have more good experiences than bad experiences. So then why do we focus so much on the negative? Life is gonna suck sometimes, but as Christians, we can't just pick and choose to show Jesus or praise God when it's convenient for us. All He expects is to do, is to be faithful and follow His commands, and He will take care of everything else.

“Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age.” Matthew 28 19-20

Greetings, and may grace, mercy, and peace be multiplied to you. We will be in 2 Corinthians 12 today. A lot of people like to brag about themselves, whether it be from their accomplishments, talents, or physical attributes. But our life before we knew Jesus is nothing to brag about. Paul would only boast about how Jesus transformed his life, and even then he only boasted about his weaknesses. God is going to do some pretty amazing things in our lives, and we should give credit where credit is due.

“Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age.” Matthew 28 19-20

Greetings, and may grace, mercy, and peace be multiplied to you. We will be in Ephesians 4 today. In 100 years, what things will be important to you? Probably not material things because you will likely be dead by then. So then why do we live our lives only for things that won't benefit us here on earth? God has given us spiritual gifts (some have multiple), and these gifts have eternal impacts not just for us but for others. This world is getting worse, but God has called us to do our part and to share the hope that is in Jesus.

“Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age.” Matthew 28 19-20

Greetings, and may grace, mercy, and peace be multiplied to you. We will be in Proverbs 4 today. There’s so much knowledge in the world, but not much of it is wisdom. What’s the difference? To give an example, knowledge is knowing that a tomato is a fruit. Wisdom is knowing not to put it in a fruit salad. If we seek after the knowledge of the world (gnosticism), that won’t have any use in our Christian lives. Only wisdom comes from God, and by reading His word, we can receive wisdom. And when we read His word and have it on our lips, we will be better equipped when the world challenges us.

“Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age.” Matthew 28 19-20
