He preached a powerful message from Romans chapter 8, which focused on the fact that God saved us when we were yet sinners, and even enemies of God! Join us today for this powerful and encouraging sermon that takes us from the beginning to the end of our eternal salvation.

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.

As we saw yesterday, the Jews in Nehemiah’s day committed themselves to serve God. Some of them moved into the City of Jerusalem, and others populated the surrounding area. This kind of service to the Kingdom is pleasing to the Lord, as we learn from other scriptures such as Malachi 3:16: “Then they that feared the Lord spake often one to another: and the Lord hearkened, and heard it, and a book of remembrance was written before him for them that feared the Lord, and that thought upon His name.” Join us today as we continue to see that it takes all sorts of people with all sorts of backgrounds and skills – with the Lord’s help – to maintain the earthly Kingdom of God.

As we move on into the Book of Nehemiah, we have arrived at the point where the Jews under Nehemiah make some commitments to follow through in their obedience to God. In today’s sermon, we learn about how they committed themselves to God. Some of them moved into the city of Jerusalem proper, and others populated the surrounding villages. But in each case, they committed their lives to the work of the Kingdom. We ought to follow their example and commit ourselves to God as well!

As we began to see last time, the Jews of Nehemiah’s day not only submitted themselves to the Law and separated themselves from the world, they also committed themselves to support the work of the Temple. We learned that God doesn’t NEED our earthly support, but He desires it and requires it! When we support the work of the house of the Lord, we demonstrate our commitment to the Kingdom. In today’s sermon, we learn about ways in which they supported the work of the House of the Lord in Nehemiah’s day. The ways in which they supported the work of the Kingdom in that day help us to understand how we should support that work in our day. Join us today as we conclude this sermon about the support of the Kingdom of God.
