Can you imagine being part of a church that did not want to go home? You know you are really part of a church when people love each other in Christ, are united in worship, and want to serve each other. Bro. Jeff continues this series by focusing on other qualities of “togetherness” demonstrated by the early church.
Do you drag yourself to church? Do you get frustrated when the sermon is too long or service isn’t over quickly enough? Or, have you dropped out of attending church? Perhaps you are looking for a church that “has it all together.” Bro. Jeff takes a look at the early church – an example for us today.
Our culture emphasizes individuality; we want to stand out from the rest. By examining the early church, Bro. Jeff explains that we are vitally connected to others and begins to answer the question, “What connects us together?”
In continuing with the Father’s Day message, Bro. Jim shares advice from a loving Heavenly father and from one of the Bible’s most endearing earthly fathers.
Jesus said that the second great commandment is “love your neighbor as yourself.” In His sermon on the mount, He describes what real love looks like. Find out if you have real love and perhaps gain an appreciation you’ve never had before as Bro. Jeff explains here.
What’s wrong with Dad? And what’s the matter with Mother and the children? Jesus tells us that it is unrighteousness. Learn more as Bro. Jeff explains Christ’s instruction to turn the other cheek, give the shirt off your back, go the extra mile, and share and share alike.
Have you ever swore “on a stack of Bibles” or “on my mother’s grave” (or similar)? If we all were truthful all the time, we would have no need to swear such oaths. Jesus shared that our unrighteousness is revealed in our anger, our adultery, and our lack of authenticity; Bro. Jeff explains here.
Jesus’ demand to be perfect does not reveal the sinlessness that you and I need to follow, but it reveals the Savior that we need to receive. In fact, it is impossible for us to live a sinless life. Bro. Jeff has been explaining examples to demonstrate that fact. Previously he discussed the sin in our anger; here he explains God’s view of adultery.
Jesus warned that those who are angry “without cause” will be “in danger of the judgment.” We are all guilty, but what exactly does that mean? Bro. Jeff explains.
How is it possible for sinful humans like us to be righteous in the sight of a Holy God…righteous enough to be part of God’s kingdom? Bro. Jeff explains in plain, clear, and thorough detail.
