Weekly Sabbath Sermon

I'm not talking about having faith IN Jesus Christ… I’m talking about having the faith that Christ had [what English Bibles used to call the faith OF Christ]. The faith that got Him through His trials, difficulties, and tests… yes, He had trials and troubles… He didnt go through His flesh and blood life floating 2 inches off the ground with a golden glow around His head.

Hebrews chapter 11 is a sort of Hall of Fame for faith. Read it and you’ll see Abraham gets a lot of attention and elsewhere he is spoken of as the father of the faithful.

But the greatest example of faith was Jesus.

Hebrews chapter 11 ends after 40 verses… then chapter 12 starts [naturally]. But the beginning of chapter 12 is really the end of our Hall of Fame for faith. The grand finale of the heroes of faith is Jesus.

Our Creator can, and does, heal. But not always. Many times God deliberately chooses not to heal.

Why would God ever choose not to heal a person? Isnt health and wholeness in this life what He wants for us?

Loyalty matters because it is a basic attribute of God’s own character. And as any Father would, God delights in seeing himself reflected in His children. How does God teach us about loyalty in scripture?

Love & Loyalty

The laying on of hands is considered in scripture to be among the most fundamental teachings of Christ and therefore of the church. It is a simple physical procedure meant to draw our attention to, and provide a witness to the very spiritual work that God our Creator is doing in us… through His Church… in this age.

The Laying on of Hands

Luke 18:8 Jesus positions faith as a question for the end times… when He returns. His question Jesus asks you to think about the possible answers. What is the answer? Yes or No? Are we close to that end time? If so, what do we see? What would faith look like?

Active Living Faith

To be, or work towards becoming, a pillar in God’s Church, is training to become a pillar in the temple of God. A temple not made of human hands, stone, or steel, or glass… but a temple composed of the family of God Revelation 21:22… the Father, the son, and his many children who stand as pillars in that creation.

The universe has physical laws… gravity, the laws of thermo dynamics, genetics, etc… these are the basis for physical life which is temporary. The universe also has spiritual laws which provide the basis for spiritual life which is eternal. These spiritual laws are outlined and explained in the form of God’s commands… the premier example being His 10 commandments.

God’s laws don’t show us how to build a house or split an atom. God’s law is spiritual… and shows us in humanly, understandable terms, the mind of God, We get instruction in how He thinks and how to put it into practice.

God's Commandments are Spiritual An Stand Throughout Time

God will revitalize the earth at Christ's return. But now His purpose is to revitalize human beings. To fix and repair humanity God pinpoints the key ingredient needed… the Holy Spirit… and it is like a stream of living water in a dry, dry wasteland.

God is promising the free gift of eternal life to those who are willing to take it. Those who endure unto the end will inherit all things along with Christ... the earth and all the universe.

It’s an idea so audacious that when you clearly articulate it… people think you are crazy… as it is written: "No eye has seen, no ear has heard, no mind has conceived what God has prepared for those who love him" but God has revealed it to us by his Spirit. 1 Corinthian 2:9-10.

Think of service as generosity with your time and energy. God gives us the gift of service as a means to practice living in a Christ-like way.

The service we render to others in the body of Christ is considered by God as service to Himself. He sees it and promises us He will give us great reward after we are raised when Christ returns Matthew 10:40-42.

However there are some significant challenges to serving. this video message takes a closer look at what might be standing in your way and keeping you from serving more completely and joyfully.

The Spirit of Service

Read this message at our blog 📘
The Spirit of Service

Ephesians 4:30 says ... Do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God

The warning in this verse is directed towards believers who have been baptized and received the Holy Spirit. God is aware of and watching the actions and thoughts of all humanity. However, at this stage in human history He has special care and concern for those He has called to receive His great gift of eternal life. So, this is a warning for disciples of Christ… “do not grieve the Holy Spirit, and prepare to receive that gift of life”.

➤To grieve means to cause sorrow, distress, emotional pain.

➤The one causing the sorrow distress and emotional pain is you or me.

➤The sorrow, distress, and emotional pain is felt by the Holy Spirit of God which is Christ living in you.

The scriptures speak of the Holy Spirit as being grieved because that’s the living Jesus Christ active, and present within you and He is grieved by what’s going on in there. We often speak of Christ’s presence within us as our advocate and helper. However, His presence in us also makes Him witness to everything we say and think… and so He is also our perfect, righteous judge… and so we can cause Him sorrow, distress and emotional pain.

1 Corinthians 4:3-5 Jesus’ judgment will be a total 360 evaluation of your life. Note: this is the judgment that will establish the reward [praise] given to those who are marked with the seal of the Holy Spirit and are raised from the dead at His return [the day of redemption], see 1 Corinthians 3:12-15.

2 Corinthians 5:9-10 we can live a life that is pleasing to Him… or we can live one that grieves Him.
