God invites us to enter into the kingdom of heaven, in spite of how broken, sinful and ruined our lives may be. That kingdom is a treasure that everything must be given up to win, but it's a treasure that changes our entire life.
In an era of politically active churches and religious organizations, Christians need to ask the question: “Are church and state truly compatible?” There are intrinsic, irreconcilable differences, including its purpose, structure and method of control.
Summertime can bring a unique set of challenges to the Christian. Is our view of work, pleasure, vacation, and modesty defined by the world or by the Bible?
We all have a dress code, developed either by design—or default. The Bible gives an objective standard by which to define modesty. No surprise, because the Author of the Bible was the Originator and Designer of clothing.
Christ has dreamed a dream: His dream is a perfectly glorious Bride. Do you share that dream with Him? Do you see it? Feel it? Live in it? Seven rock-solid glories from Hebrews 12 to admire and strive for.
Clothing is a type of language. It announces social status/rank, a person's heroes, his convictions (or lack thereof). The Bible speaks to the issue of clothing, and to it we look for direction in our choices of appearance. What does your clothing tell observers about you?
God told the Israelites not to go back to Egypt. But the things the Egyptians offered to Israel looked inviting. God doesn't want us to live in sin. But sometimes the things satan has to offer are tempting. How do I stay out of Egypt (sin)? How do I come back to God after living in sin?
Jezebel embodied the essence of the feministic movement. Is the spirit of Jezebel permeating/infiltrating the church, the Bride of Christ? Do not answer that question before you listen to this sermon.
