Jesus Christ, while teaching His disciples principles by which they were to live instructed them that any who would follow Him should seek first the Kingdom of God and His Righteousness.
Why did Christ say this? Why is it critical for one to seek after these two things? And how is one to accomplish this requirement?

Developing the fruit of the Spirit is vital to our continued growth as Christians. Its manifestation is the proof that God is working in our lives. The tools used to grow in the Spirit are Prayer, Bible Study, Mediation and occasional Fasting. These are MUSTS and must not be neglected for our continued walk as Christians and our development of our crucial ongoing relationship with God and Christ.
Will we go to heaven when we die? Most professing Christians hope that they do, because they don’t like what they think might be the “alternative”–that is, going to an “ever-burning hell.” But does the Bible tell us that we will go to heaven? What happens when we die? Why does the Bible speak of a resurrection from the dead? And what happens after the resurrection? Most know that the Bible teaches a “Millennium” or a thousand-year rule. But when and where is this going to take place? Will we be ruling in heaven, as some teach? If you know the answers to these questions, would you be able to prove the truth from Scripture? Where in the Bible do we find the answers?

The Bible speaks of love in many ways–it even mentions “perfect love” and of us being “made perfect in love.”
However, Jesus warned that the love of many will grow cold among those living at the close of this age. This sermon considers the perfect love we should have toward our Father and Jesus Christ; toward our brethren; toward our neighbors in this world; and, the love we are to have for ourselves.
Those who will enter the Kingdom of God will have been “Called, Chosen, and Faithful.” Yet many people who are Called of God fail in their Calling because they overlook one of the most critical “Keys” to remaining faithful to God’s Way! This vital “Key” is found in numerous scriptures throughout the Bible. The Bible reveals examples of many faithful who utilized this vital “Key” in their lives, as well as others who failed because they ignored this vital “Key.” This Sermon examines a number of these very significant examples.

A negative reaction to correction is indicative of a wrong attitude. With wrong attitudes, serious problems are guaranteed to occur in our lives. We must avoid to develop an attitude of anger, resentment and hostility. Otherwise, we will begin to hate those who are righteous, and numerous grievous sins will follow. When people leave God and His Church, it is always because of attitude problems–and in most cases, because of a rejection of godly authority. The choice is ours–but the prize which God offers us is too valuable to loose just because of a bad attitude.
We are among the first of those who have been called into the Church of God–to be the bride of Jesus Christ–to become helpers “comparable to[H]im”–to become united in a permanent relationship within the Family of God! The extraordinary future that we are to have with Jesus Christ involves marriage on the spiritual plane, transcending the physical parallel, because this union will last forever!
Jesus Christ established the Church of God while He was on the earth. He was very specific as to the name by which the Church would be identified. A specific message was given to the Church which it was commissioned to carry to the world; a specific gospel it was to preach. Specific laws were established whereby those called to have a part in God’s Church were to live. There is a specific reward those who are faithful in their calling are to receive. Are you faithful in your calling to this Way?
Abraham will be in God’s Kingdom. He was not without fault, but he grew in faithful obedience, and he became the father of the faithful. We are to be, and we can be, followers of his example. We must never give up. God knows that we can make it; otherwise, He would not have called us for salvation at this time. God is on our side, and He is mightier than anyone and anything else. If we don’t shrink back, but stand up, when we fall, we will be in God’s Kingdom–together with Abraham.
