What Good Is a Doctor If…
Thanks for joining us today as we take a brief departure from diving in deeper to Sunday’s message. Today, I’ll be sharing some thoughts the Lord hit me with as I was reading a book on Charles Spurgeon and notes he wrote about the gospel. May the Lord use this to spur you on in this amazing responsibility he’s given us. God bless! The Gospel of Jesus Christ CCLI Streaming License # 20229783
For Your Benefit & the Future
On Sunday, Paul preached from Romans 3-4 about the fact that salvation has always been by grace through faith. As we think about people being saved though, behind that is someone who took the time to share or teach the truth. Thinking on the theme of Romans, The Gospel Proclaimed and Practiced, today I want to challenge us to seriously consider the calling we have been given by Christ. Not only has the faithful obedience of this by others benefitted…
A MISSION OF HOPE – MATTHEW 28
Matthew 28 is a wonderful chapter as it concludes the book with a message of hope – CHRIST IS RISEN – and then calls believers to share that message with the world around them. We are comforted by the assurance that God himself is will us always as we do this.
HERE’S YOUR SIGN – MATTHEW 27
At various points in the Gospels, we see Jesus telling people that his death and resurrection will be a sign of who he is – the Messiah, the Son of the Living God. Yet that sign was rejected as we see in Matthew 27. He didn’t save himself though so that he might save us.
THE GREATEST – MATTHEW 22
Matthew 22 talks about the two greatest commandments. These have been the mission of GBC for many years. Through this interaction, Jesus speaks of devotion to the Lord with our whole being and loving our fellow man. We through the phrase around “love God, love others”, but do we do so to the extent he mentions? This has been a favorite of mine and both encouraging and convicting as I read it over and over again.
LISTEN TO JESUS – MATTHEW 17
Thanks for joining us as we look at Matthew 17. In this interesting scene, not the words of the Father – “This is my beloved son. Listen to Him!” Those last three words caught my attention today. Do we listen to Jesus? And if so, how is that affecting every fiber of our being?
WHERE ARE OUR LIVES BUILT – MATTHEW 7
The wise man and the foolish man – the last few sentences in Matthew 7 and the conclusion of Jesus’ sermon on the mount. It’s a good children’s song, but there is some deeper truth to explore here as well about our relationship with God.
WHAT DO YOU WORSHIP?
In Matthew 2, we find the wise men from the east coming to worship Jesus. Herod says he desires to as well & asks them to report back to him. Seeing that word in the text & the actions that transpired for the different parties begs us to ask what do we worship? Worship and love affect our thoughts, actions, and investments of time and money. What do you worship?
