Treasured Truth

In Matthew chapter 12, when Jesus entered Jerusalem, the people gathered there greeted Him saying, “Hosanna!  Hosanna!  Blessed is He that comes in the name of the Lord!” But just a few days later, their impression of Him had changed. Learn why as we begin a new message from this passage, and take a closer look at Jesus’ triumphal entry.

When Jesus told them who He was and shared with His followers what we can consider the greatest statement ever made, He wanted them to know He was not just another man.  He was not just a good man.  He was not just a prophet and He was not just a rabbi.  He is God in the flesh.  Find out what He told them specifically on today’s Treasured Truth.

We’ll take a break from our regular program line-up to allow Pastor Ford some time to answer your questions.  This episode of “Ask Pastor Ford” will cover topics like women in ministry, forgiveness, and whether or not a Christian should re-marry after a divorce.

As he finished out the book of Galatians, Paul wanted the believers there to know he had an allegiance to Christ based on what Christ had done on Calvary’s cross.  He didn’t need anyone to challenge him to live for Jesus!  Jesus Christ and His gospel were Paul’s number one priority and he had the scars to prove it.

As Paul began to conclude his letter to the Galatians, he focused on the cross of Christ.  He had praise for the cross.  Then he explained the power, the promise, and the persecution of the cross.

In some of the final verses of his letter to them, Paul explained to the Galatian believers that the promise of victory and peace doesn’t apply to everyone, even as believers, but only to as many as walk according to a certain rule.  In other words, Pastor Ford will ask us—if we don’t implement what Christ has given us for victory, then why are we expecting to have victory in the Christian life?

Today, Pastor Ford will help us understand how Paul affirmed to the Galatian believers his comprehension of his own confirmation.  Then he celebrated his liberation from sin. Paul gave us a great example of how to respond as we continue to look at the topic of embracing the cross of Christ.

Do you have circumstances that you want to see changed?  Are you suffering and you want it to be over?  Are you bound in sin and want to be free?  Pastor Ford explains today that God’s word says He has given us the tool of fasting as a resource to help set us free from the things that bind us.

On today’s Treasured Truth,  we’ll look at how embracing the cross of Christ transforms us.  As scripture says,“…Old things are passed away, behold all things are become new.” So, Pastor Ford will explain how what God provided for us in our transformations is enough to give us a foundation for holiness and godly living.

The Bible teaches that we each gain so much through Christ’s sacrifice for us on the cross.  Pastor Ford will remind us today that our pardon, position, power, provision, peace and preservation are all in Christ.
