As we continue learning about the first missionary journey, we find out that John Mark backed out. Why did he do that? Bible scholars have speculated, but the real application is in examining reasons believers give up today. In this powerful message, Bro. Jeff goes through his “dangerous dozen” reasons why Christians drop out of their Christian service.
Previously, Bro. Jeff described the scene and two of the characters – the sorcerer and the deputy. Here, he describes in more detail the third character, the warrior. This inspiring Biblical account also provides insight, encouragement, and advice for Christians today.
Believers can’t be starved and filled simultaneously. In this powerful and thought-provoking message, Bro. Jeff stresses the two most important aspects of our lives and encourages us to practice starving that which is preventing us from being filled with the Holy Spirit and God’s power in our lives.
Believer, are you cooperating with the Holy Spirit? Or does God have to take you to the wood shed? Using this tongue-in-cheek analogy, Bro. Jeff delivers an uplifting and encouraging message about God’s work to help us look more like Jesus.
Is is possible to control our thought patterns? The Bible says it is! Bro. Jeff lists four attitudes that hinder our praise and worship. Listen to Bro. Jeff’s Biblical insights to find encouragement in living a more joyful life!
Our prayer is that we will see ourselves as God sees us and see others as God sees them. Bro. Jeff delivered a powerful message tonight on attitude – how our insecurities affect our attitude and how we can receive blessings from God if we’ll walk through the door of humility where we can think rightly about ourselves.
How should be credit the healing we experience? What should we value in a hero? What are you willing to sacrifice for the work of Christ? We invite you to discover more truths about the great man of God, Epaphroditus, an example of a servant, hero, and servant for the Savior.
Epaphroditus is a great example of someone who expresses the mind of Christ. He was a brother in Christ, companion in labor, fellowsoldier in battle, a messenger from Philippi, and a minister to Paul. Discover some important truths regarding what it means to have the mind of Christ.
Paul gives two examples who expressed the light of Christ in their lives, who exemplified the mind of Christ in their selflessness. Bro. Jeff challenges and encourages us to examine our own attitudes and actions to seek to become more Christ-like.
Learn the key to real joy as Bro Jeff makes the connection between our selfless attitude, our sacrificial actions, and real worship.
