Today, I am talking about our speech. Does your speech reflect the ways of this world, or the ways of God? We are told several times in the Bible to not “let filthy communication come out of your mouth.” We are also told that we can’t praise God and curse man. So, what is coming out of your mouth?

Today, we look at the topic of the New Year. The New Year brings a feeling of newness, of a fresh start. Many of you will make Resolutions for the New Year, something that you want to change about yourself. Paul teaches in many places throughout his New Testament letters that we must put on the new man, and take off the old. It symbolizes removing our sin nature and past sins, and walking forward to our new life with Christ.

In the year 2025, will you join me as I desire to become more Christ-like. It means that I am going to get serious about my faith, and work on developing an intimate relationship with Jesus. What are some things we can expect to happen when we do this? One thing is to be ridiculed. To be made fun of. Listen in as I talk on this topic.

Various verses. Paul was willing to forgo everything that made up his pedigree for the sake of Jesus. The religious leaders of Jesus’ time loved the praise of men rather than God. Which is more like the way you live your life?

Luke 2:1-20, a reading of the Christmas story, with a challenge thrown in.

Acts 10. We see, in this chapter, the Gospel being presented to the Gentiles by Peter. Peter could have stood by his religious rules and not went to the gentile, but he obeyed what God had told him to do. We have people today who we are withholding the Gospel from, people we feel we should not associate with. When are we going to realize that the command to go and make disciples means of all people? Who are you withholding the Gospel from?

Various verses. Today I teach on the topic of oppression.

Various verses. Today, we study about chains and the bondage they create. Many of us either were, or still are in bondage today. We need the chains of sin broken. How? Through Jesus of course. We discuss what you and I need to do to either break our own chains, or break the chains for others.

Various verses. Today we talk about love and peace. We are talking about verse 3 of the Christmas hymn O Holy Night. As Christians, we must show the same love to others that God shows to us.

Someone on social media recently said that a Christian cannot sing the song O Holy Night if they are not going to live out the third verse. We will spend the next few days seeing what the third verse says and how we need to apply it to our lives.
