“Sufficient Courage”

“I eagerly expect and hope that I will in no way be ashamed, but will have sufficient courage so that now as always Christ will be exalted in my body, whether by life or by death. For to me, to live is Christ and to die is gain. If I am to go on living in the body, this will mean fruitful labor for me. Yet what shall I choose? I do not know!” (Philippians 1:20-22).

Message summary: Today we pray we will all have sufficient courage to stand strong in our faith and whatever happens, we will conduct ourselves in a manner worthy of the gospel of Christ (see Philippians 1:27).

“A Cheerful Giver”

“Remember this: Whoever sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and whoever sows generously will also reap generously. Each of you should give what you have decided (purposed) in your heart to give, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver. And God is able to bless you abundantly, so that in all things at all times, having all that you need, you will abound in every good work” (2 Corinthians 9:6-8).

Message summary: Today we consider the many ministries that have blessed us and a consideration of what the Bible says about giving. May God help and guide us all in regard to our stewardship of what He has entrusted to us.

“Much More”

“Since, therefore, we have now been justified by His blood, much more shall we be saved by Him from the wrath of God. For if while we were enemies we were reconciled to God by the death of His Son, much more, now that we are reconciled, shall we be saved by His life. More than that, we also rejoice in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have now received reconciliation” (Romans 5:9-11).

Message summary: The atoning death of Christ on the cross is the supreme demonstration of God’s love resulting in our reconciliation to God.  Today we consider the phrase “much more” in regard to this act of mercy.

“Giving Thanks To The Lord!”

“Enter His gates with thanksgiving and His courts with praise; give thanks to Him and praise His name. For the LORD is good and His love endures forever; His faithfulness continues through all generations” (Psalm 100:4,5). “To you, O God of my fathers, I give thanks and praise” (Daniel 2:23) “And whatever you do, whether in word or deed, do it all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through Him” (Colossians 3:17).

Message summary: In increasingly secular America there is a vague focus on being thankful without specifying to whom. The Scripture says, “Be thankful to Him and praise His Name” (Psalm 100). “We give thanks to you, O God; we give thanks, for your name is near. We recount your wondrous deeds” (Psalm 75:1).

“Our Greatest Possession”

“A man’s life does not consist in the abundance of his possessions” (Luke 12:15b). “I have learned to be content whatever the circumstances” (Philippians 4:11). “But you are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for His own possession, that you may proclaim the excellencies of Him who called you out of darkness into His marvelous light” (1 Peter 2:9).

“God’s Ubiquitous Blessings”

‘Because of your father’s God, who helps you, because of the Almighty, who blesses you with blessings of the skies above, blessings of the deep springs below, blessings of the breast and womb. Your father’s blessings are greater than the blessings of the ancient mountains, than the bounty of the age-old hills” (Genesis 49:25,26). “Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us in the heavenly realms with every spiritual blessing in Christ. For He chose us in Him before the creation of the world to be holy and blameless in His sight. In love He predestined us for adoption to sonship through Jesus Christ, in accordance with His pleasure and will—to the praise of His glorious grace, which He has freely given us in the One He loves. In Him we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of sins, in accordance with the riches of God’s grace that He lavished on us” (Ephesians 1:3-8).

Message summary: Today we consider God’s ubiquitous blessings, the greatest being “the riches of God’s grace lavished on us”.
