×Be not conformed to this world. Be transformed and renew your mind. How? Sanctification and Gratitude.
Paul was transparent about his past, about the part he played in having men and women jailed for their faith, with some put to death. But God forgave Paul. Why? Grace, Mercy, and Love. If Paul, then maybe me.
The motivation behind Jesus' three rebukes were deliverance and compassion. The focus behind the disciples' three rebukes were food, time, and money. Jesus' rebukes were just right, the disciples' rebukes were over-ruled by Jesus.
Do all you know to do, and do it with the best of your ability; then, go to bed. Do not wear yourself out staying up late or rising early, go to bed ... rest.
Sin and obedience have been overlooked and/or maligned in recent years. To identify certain behaviors as sinful is said to be hateful. To preach obedience is to promote legalism. Not so! There are many blessings in obedience. (Also addressed in this message is the 2024 Super Bowl commercial on foot washing).…
Obedience is extremely important, but the motive for obedience is just as important. This is the conclusion to the 6-part series on the 10 Commandment ... a series that compared a love motive with fear & reward motives (Part 6 f 6 in the series).
What if we obey the 9th and 10th commandments motivated by love, instead by fear or reward? Not, "I have to;" but, "I want to." Part 5 of 6 in the 10 Commandment Series.
What if we obey the 7th and 8th commandments motivated by love, instead by fear or reward? Not, "I have to;" but, "I get to." Part 4 of 6 in the 10 Commandment Series.
What if we obey the 5th and 6th commandments motivated by love, instead by fear or reward? Not, "I have to;" but, "I want to." Part 3 of 6 in the 10 Commandment Series.
What if we obey the 3rd and 4th commandments motivated by love, instead by fear or reward? Not, "I have to;" but, "I get to." Part 2 of 6 in the 10 Commandment Series.
What if we serve no other gods because we love for our Heavenly Father so much that we have not room for another god? What if we obey the 1st and 2nd commandments motivated be love, instead of by fear or reward. Part 1 of 6 in the 10 Commandment Series.
Jesus entered and exited nine courtrooms prior to His crucifixion: 3 Jewish, 3 Roman, and 3 of God's. The first three sought a charge to justify a sentence; the second three declared a sentence that did not match the verdict; and the last three define the gospel (part 3 in the series).
The Romans, the Herodians, and Jewish elders ruled in various capacities as Jesus introduced His kingdom. Sometimes Jesus submitted, but other times He resisted. This look at Jesus' ministry might help us negotiate the political climate we find ourselves. Part 2 in the series.
This message will attempt to describe the political landscape in and around the time of Jesus' birth, the factors that motivated Rome and Herod to do the things they did. Part 1 in a series: At Jesus' Birth.
We shall look at Jesus' finished work from a financial perspective. Scripture uses financial terms such as bought, purchased, and redeemed to describe His finished work. Part 4 in the Slow Looking Series.
We shall look at Jesus' Finished Work from a legal perspective. Scripture uses terms such as pardon, justify, and impute to describe His finished work (Part 3 in the series).

Ever consider how many judgements one has to make in a normal day. More than you can count. May all ours, glorify God. (Part 3 in the Judgement Series)
Best if a brother judges us before God does. Better if we judge ourselves before God judges us. Because, eventually, God will judge. He is longsuffering, but not forever suffering. When done correctly, the judgement by another is an act of love, ... when judgement's focus is conversion. (Message #2 in the Judgement Series)…

Paul asked the question commonly when one hears that salvation is 100% by grace (i.e., federal headship in Romans 5:17-20). The question: If my works play no part in my going to heaven, then why not live like the devil? Paul answered this question in Romans 6, with three unique explanations.
