Christian Living

Directing Desire

Uploaded by Calvary Chapel Greenwood on 2019-09-22.

God created us to desire. We desire food, love, and comfort, but we as falled creatures tend to get our desires all out of whack. When this happens, it leads to sin and fractures our relationship with the creator. James 4 teaches us though that there is grace and a way to get our desires in line with God’s will.

Follow, Continue, Trust

Did you know that the Lord said that He exalts is Word above His name? What a statement! When we look at our lives, can do others see that the Word is exalted in our lives, or is it hard to tell?

The Goal: TRUTH

As we approach the coming of Jesus, there are certain things which we need to be guarded about. Paul warns the church that there will be many who claim to be something they are not. We have to be prepared and know the Truth of God’s Word, so that we will not fall for something other than the Gospel of Jesus.

The Goal: GODLINESS

Ultimately, our goal is to love, and the best way for us to do that is to follow Christ's example. This can be a difficult task, but with the right leadership in our churches and the right focus in our lives, God promises to transform us from the inside out.

The Goal: SUBMISSION

John 8:44 tells us that Satan loves to divide. We have all seen this especially in churches and marriages. A lot of this division comes when we don't submit to the authority God has placed over us. Listen in as Pastor David teaches one of the most difficult passages in the New Testament.

We can gather from Paul’s first letter to Timothy, that Timothy was a timid man, but as a leader he was having to learn to step out of his timidity in order to lead and love. In our new series, The Goal, we will be looking at what is God’s goal for us in the church. In short, it is to love God, and love each other.

Anchored In Perseverance

The ins and outs of ministry can be very hard. Over time, we can become disgruntled and tired, but we are warned against this in 2 Thessalonians 3. Paul says, “don’t grow weary of doing good.” This is a call to perseverance, it’s a statement that encourages us to be so anchored in Christ that we will finish the work He has called us to do.

Anchored In Prayer

Prayer just may be the most important part of christian living. Oswald Chambers said, "Prayer does not fit us for the greater work; prayer is the greater work." In 2 Thessalonians, Paul, asks for prayer for himself so that the Lord might spread the Gospel. 2 Thessalonians 3:1-5

Oswald Chambers said, "Prayer does not fit us for the greater work; prayer is the greater work.” In 2 Thessalonians, Paul, asks for prayer for himself so that the Lord might spread the Gospel and bring glory to God, so I think it’s safe to say, we should do the same.

Anchored In Truth

If you look around the world at different churches and teachers, you’re bound to see that not all of them preach truth. This is nothing new. Paul had to address this many times in his epistles and he urged the church to “stand firm” in what they knew to be true about God’s character and to listen to the Spirit as He guided them to truth.

Anchored In Fellowship

In 2 Thessalonians, Paul starts off his letter by encouraging Christian community. We are going to need each other. We need to love and be loved. We need to help one another grow in faith as we learn to trust God's character. 2 Thessalonians 1:1-12
