It is much more beneficial to our spiritual well-being if we read, think through, and understand the Scriptures we are reading which is obvious, but can be forgotten or neglected. In addition, using a number of assorted Bible aids we will really profit from greater understanding and all the effort will be very worthwhile.
Sermons
Salvation of the World
Did Christ come to save this world? Or are we talking about a completely different world? Didn’t Christ call us out of this evil world? Is this world being judged today? And if not, when will this be the case? Could this be related to the resurrections? And why does the Bible speak of the resurrection of the just and of the unjust, as well as the resurrection to everlasting life, to judgment and to everlasting contempt or condemnation?
We WILL Be Great
What must we do in this life to become something that this world can’t even comprehend? God has given us a gift of understanding and all the tools necessary to be what He wants us to be. What is our role and what will it take to fulfill His plan for us?
Walk the Talk
While it is easy to talk about being a Christian, and it’s easy to talk about what needs to be done, the real work is in the actions of being a Christian. What are we doing to ensure that we Walk the Talk?
Without Deceit
God has given us instructions to remove deceit from our lives reminding us that that is a characteristic of Satan. Jesus Christ praised Nathanael for being without deceit and the one hundred and forty four thousand in the book of Revelation are also described as being without deceit. Only those without deceit cn be trusted to live God’s way forever.
Jesus Christ—Our Savior
The Bible tells us that we can ONLY be saved through Jesus Christ; that there is no salvation in any other. This means that we CANNOT be saved through any other means or name or religion. But in order to be saved, we must believe and follow the true Jesus Christ of the Bible. A belief in a false Jesus will not save us. What does this mean exactly? What must we believe, and what must we reject?
Why Are There Preachers?
Are preachers chosen by God, or can just anyone—man, woman or child—decide on their own to preach? Do preachers have a specific message to proclaim, and does God give extra power to His preachers? Also, will those who preach be held accountable for what they teach? Do Christians really need preachers?
A Mind to Work
Even when facing opposition, we can be confident that God’s work is worth doing. In the story of Nehemiah, the Jews rebuilt the wall of Jerusalem facing ridicule and adversity. Through their perseverance, dedication, and unwavering focus, they succeeded. What can we learn from their example that can help us succeed in our endeavors?
God Is Angry
If there are so many people in the world who are doing good things to help their communities demonstrating love for one another, could God really be angry enough to unleash His wrath upon the Earth as a punishment? What is it that makes God angry, and what can we do to appeal to His mercy as the Day of the Lord approaches?
Turn the Cheek
Nearly everywhere we turn these days we see people claiming to be offended by colleagues, school mates, family, friends and even the brethren. Despite the ease of taking offense, true Christians understand the need to rely on God for the strength to turn the other cheek and avoid escalation. In this Sermonette we will consider various scriptures and examples of what true Christians must do in order to obey God and not the world.
