Good morning Christians! At least, that is who I want to address this morning. I thought it would be good to point out just what God wants from His saints today.
We ought to walk in the light – (1 John 1:5-10)
During His earthly ministry, Jesus often concluded a lesson by crying out, “He who has ears to hear, let him hear”, concerning John the Baptist (Matthew 11:15), concerning the parable of the sower (Matthew 13:9), and concerning the explanation of the parable of the tares (Matthew 13:43). In His letters to the churches of Asia, Jesus concludes each with a similar saying: “He who has an ear. let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches.” (Revelation 2:7,11,17,29; 3:6,13,22). What is the point of these sayings? It is …

Pastor Dan Nickerson preaches from 2 Corinthians 4:7-15
Jesus did not die on the cross to make it possible for His Church to Sleep in on Sunday and miss Bible study and worship, to stay at home when we have out of town guests. Or to attend sporting or social events during the week and regularly neglect Bible study and worship. He did not die on the cross in order to talk to people about politics and not about the value of their soul. Nor was it to wear themselves out working all day and be too tired …
(Psalm 37:5-7)…..Commit your way to the Lord, trust also in Him, and He shall bring it to pass. 6 He shall bring forth your righteousness as the light, and your justice as the noonday. 7 Rest in the Lord, and wait patiently for Him; Do not fret because of him who prospers in his way, because of the man who brings wicked schemes to pass.
We are told in this verse to rest in the Lord and wait patiently for Him. Yet one of the hardest things to do in …
Why is it that David can trust God? Why can we trust Him? Because He is Lord (my Lord), He is (Adonay; Ad-o-noy), He has authority and power and is matchless in His being. David wrote, “The LORD said to my Lord…” (Psalm 110:1). Thomas said, “My Lord and my God!” (John 20:27-28). Paul wrote, “…Christ Jesus my Lord” – (Philippians 3:7-8), by virtue of His death and resurrection (Romans 14:8-9). Peter also proclaimed Jesus as Lord, to the Jews at Pentecost (Acts 2:36), …
(Psalm 39:4-13)…..“Lord, make me to know my end, And what is the measure of my days, That I may know how frail I am. 5 Indeed, You have made my days as handbreadths, And my age is as nothing before You; Certainly every man at his best state is but vapor. Selah 6 Surely every man walks about like a shadow; Surely they busy themselves in vain; He heaps up riches, And does not know who will gather them. 7 “And now, Lord, what do I wait for? My hope …
Read The Bible?
There are many reasons or excuses people don’t read their bibles, such as, “I’m a busy person. I have a lot to do. Why should I spend my time reading the Bible? I don’t have time to do all I need to do as it is.”
Or, “I already believe in Jesus Christ, that He’s the Son of God and my Savior. I’ve already heard the Gospel.”
“Why should I read the Bible?”
Please think about the following Scriptures. Then, you will understand why you should read …
I want to remind you this morning that much like the Psalmist, when you are at your end, at the bottom, in your lowliest state, without any hope, when you cried out to God in repentance to restore you and save you, that’s exactly what God did. God redeemed you for His sake. He did it by Himself (1 Peter 1:18-19) (Ephesians 1:7-10). He did it for Himself – (Titus 2:11-14)
The elements of Christ’ atonement are seen in…….
