Fellowship /2

The Christian Mission Statement: To know God and to make him known. To know Him is not simply to gain more and more knowledge about Him, but to share an intimate communion with Him. To have fellowship with Him in the manner of Abraham and Moses. Genesis 18 brings out the delight of fellowship between […]

Fellowship /1

“All the believers devoted themselves to the apostles’ teaching, and to fellowship, and to sharing in meals (including the Lord’s Supper), and to prayer.” Acts 2:42 NLT Fellowship, from the Greek word koinōnia, means community, joint participation, companion, partner, or sharer.

If Not Now, When?

Every generation should live as though Jesus was returning in their lifetime. “Now is our chance to choose the right side. God is holding back to give us that chance. It won’t last forever. We must take it or leave it.” C.S. Lewis It will be decidedly too late when the trumpet sounds.

Rejoice. Rejoice I Say.

“Rejoice always, pray continually, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God’s will for you in Jesus Christ.” 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18 NIV When we join in Sabbath worship, we are not worshiping based on the way our circumstances have played out.

The list of people in the Bible who experienced grace and mercy is long and noteworthy. Moses the murderer got a second chance, as did David the adulterer. Jonah the rebellious prophet was shown […]

Jesus At The Center Of It All

Keep your eyes on Jesus, our leader and instructor. He was willing to die a shameful death on the cross because of the joy He knew would be His afterwards, and now He is set down at the right hand of the throne of God. Hebrews 12:2 TLB, KJV Jesus appears at the most unexpected […]

Holy Boldness

Paul proclaimed the kingdom of God and taught about the Lord Jesus Christ with all boldness and without hindrance. Acts 28:31 NIV If we have accepted Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior, Jesus has sealed the redemption deal by giving us the Holy Spirit. We are the temple of the Living God. So now what? […]

Called

As Christians, we are not primarily called to be holy men and women, but to proclaim the Gospel of Jesus Christ. The fundamental reality of this realm is not human goodness, or holiness, or heaven, or hell. It is redemption. Personal holiness is an effect of redemption, not the cause of it. If we place […]
