Over the years, we have enjoyed sweet fellowship with Elder Sam Bryant here at Zion Church. In 2013, Bro. Sam came to be with us one Sunday night, and preached a powerful sermon from the Book of Job, entitled “Acquaint Thyself With Him.” In today’s sermon, we begin to learn about how we as regenerated children of God should grow in grace and knowledge of God.

There are many things we ought to be thankful for, as we learn in Psalm 100. In the first half of this sermon, we began to look at some of those things, including the fact that we are God’s children and will eventually be with Him for eternity. But in the latter part of this Psalm, we are instructed to “enter into his GATES with thanksgiving, and into his COURTS with praise!” This is a clear reference to the place of public worship, where God has promised to grant His greatest blessings in this life. Join us as we conclude our look today at how thankful we ought to be for the Church of the Living God.

In the season of Thanksgiving, the Lord led us to the 100th Psalm, which is the Psalm we often go to on the topic of “thanksgiving.” We see many things in this psalm that we should be thankful for, especially the fact that we are God’s people, the sheep of His pasture. But in today’s sermon, after looking at some of these blessings, we begin to focus upon the latter part of that passage, which reminds us that we should be thankful for the place where God has promised to meet with us more than any other: the Church. Join us today as we begin to see how thankful we ought to be for the Church of the Living God.

In this sermon, preached recently by Elder John Morgan Owens, we read about Christ sending His disciples to find the colt that He would ride into Jerusalem before His crucifixion. What an example of humility, that Christ would lay aside His glory and ride upon such a creature! Join us today for this encouraging sermon.

What does the Lord require of us as His children? Yesterday, we began to see that He requires us to walk with Him humbly and to do right and love mercy. In the second half of this sermon, Elder John Morgan Owens continues to show us from Scripture how we are to love God supremely, and our neighbors as ourselves, in our walk of discipleship here and now. Ultimately, we learn that it isn’t about the legalistic adherence to the Law, but about being God’s “hands and feet” on this earth, showing forth His love to those who are in no position to pay us back!

In Micah 6:8, we find the familiar instruction about what God requires of us: to “do justly, love mercy, and walk humbly with thy God.” This does NOT teach that we have to “earn” God’s love in our daily walk, but rather that we ought to serve Him out of love and gratitude . While obedience is essential to our discipleship, we ought not serve Him with a view toward earning “credit” with God. Rather, we should serve Him because of the amazing grace He has shown to us. And as we walk with Him, we find it easier to serve Him. Join us today for the first half of this sermon about serving God in the way He requires.

We recently had the great pleasure of having Elder James Allen of Florida to visit with us here at Zion on a Sunday evening service. Bro. James was blessed to preach an outstanding and convicting sermon about how we as children of God are required to be “peacemakers” instead of troublemakers. Join us today for this full sermon, entitled “Peacemakers.”

Yesterday we began to see that the people of Nehemiah’s day committed not only themselves to God, but also their praise to Him. God had blessed them so greatly that they could not contain their joy in the Kingdom! Today, we finish up looking at the way they committed their praise to God, and then consider how they then committed their property – their “stuff” – to God. God expects us to contribute to the work of the Kingdom from the abundance of material blessings that He has given to us. Join us today as we continue looking at the things they committed to the Kingdom.

In the previous sermon from chapter eleven of the Book of Nehemiah, we saw that the Jews in Nehemiah’s day had committed themselves to God. Today, we see from chapter 12 that they also committed their praise to God! We read in verse 43 that the joyful praise of those in Jerusalem was heard “afar off.” These Jewish brethren were so excited about the place where the Lord had brought them that they could not contain their joy, but shouted it out so that all could hear! These Jews ought to be the example for us as we commit our praise to God for all He has done for us.
