To receive answers to our prayers, we must not neglect seven all-important keys. We explain in this sermon what they are.

 The Bible tells the story of people whom God has called. One
remarkable account is that of Jeremiah, but his is not the only extraordinary
record of God’s calling. Among others are those in the Church of God–people who
have been called to become the first fruits of salvation. There is much said to
“those who are called”–instructions from God to assure that we each fulfill our
calling.

 As we work to accomplish our goals in life, we can treat our activity in
different ways. We can do things as a means to an end or we can do things as an
end in themselves. However, each of those approaches alone is problematic if we
desire to live a life that is pleasing to God. A third, and better way to treat
our activities is in perspective, knowing that it is important to keep the end
goal in mind, but also that the means by which we work is how we will be judged.

In the sixth and last chapter of his letter to the Galatians, Paul discusses, among other topics, how to help a brother who is overtaken in a fault, while first considering oneself.

This sermon discusses the fifth chapter of Paul’s letter to the Galatians. It includes a study on circumcision, true liberty, the fulfilling of the law, the “offense of the cross,” the “works of the flesh” and the “fruit of the Spirit.”

People in the time of Jesus Christ looked for the prophetic Elijah–the one promised in the Book of Malachi. In our time individuals still look for the end time fulfillment of an Elijah to come. The story of Elijah and of those who would continue his mission is important, and that importance has pivotal significance for events that now herald the end of this age!

 Each and every one of us must know how to deal with the reality of our individual failures.  All Christians sin, which is the example of failure. Some failures can be catastrophic, while others can be recovered from. How can catastrophic failure be avoided, and how can we recover from the failures that we encounter?

What does it mean for a Christian to be bold in the world? From the examples of Jesus Christ and the apostle Paul we can find strength from their examples. We have our calling to uphold to the very end, and we need to do this in and through the power of the Holy Spirit. With the Help of Jesus Christ we can become bold.
