This is NO Picnic

This is NO Picnic

To support this ministry financially, visit: www.oneplace.com/donate/545/29

New believers often think that, because theyve been saved, life from now on will be a picnic. The truth is, however, that the Christian walk is a battlefield, with pummeling enemy fire and hard-fought victories. Throughout Scripture we are charged to put on our armor and use every weapon the Lord has given us for battle with the enemy. Here, the Apostle John warns us to stay alert, so we dont lose the ground weve gained or forfeit our full reward in heaven.

When someone says they believe in Jesus, we cant presume its the real Jesus. False teachers are proclaiming many different versions of Jesus to give people what they want to hearand lead them away from the Truth. This is Satans commission. In this lesson from 2 John, Pastor Davey unpacks Johns warning about the deceptive messages being spread (as true now as it was then), equipping us to identify the false teachers so prevalent today.

How to Keep From Growing Cold

How to Keep From Growing Cold

Can love be commanded? Isnt it a feeling thats out of our control? According to Scripture, Christians are, in fact, commanded to love one another with a divine agape lovelove that is choice, love that overcomes feelings. In these verses, the Apostle John defines agape love as obedience to Gods will. Here, Pastor Davey expounds upon this truth, describing how walking in love keeps our hearts from growing cold toward others and toward God.

Today, as it was in the Garden of Eden, the enemy chips away at Gods truth through patient erosionhe tweaks and adapts it until what is believed is no truth at all. Therefore, its not surprising that our current culture embraces so many lies. As parents, our goal is that our children choose to walk in truth, and this lesson from 2 John calls us to be encouraged when they areand to keep praying when theyre not.

In our culture of moral relativism, truth is often defined as yours or minebut its never absolute. However, as Believers, we can rest in the knowledge that there is a Divinely determined truth. In this lesson, Pastor Davey looks to the words of the Apostle John to remind us that Christ-followers are bound together by our love for truth. And, despite the waxing and waning cultural norms, truth endures forever, transforming us through its mercy, grace and peace.

Even in the salutation of the Apostle Johns Second Letter, he offers profound words of encouragement to the anonymous woman to whom he is writing. He calls her chosen. His letters opening reminds this woman that she and her children have not been forgotten, and they are lovedby John and the Lord. Whatever our circumstances or challenges, let us remember who we are in Christ and stand firm on the promises of Go.

In typical fashion, Paul wraps up his letter to theRomans by greeting and thanking diverse individuals who are worthy of affirmation. But before they get too big-headed, Paul reminds them that God is the One who really deserves the credit.The gallery ofour faith is just a hall in the greater gallery of God's grace.

Surviving Vanity  Fair

Surviving Vanity Fair

To support this ministry financially, visit: www.oneplace.com/donate/545/29

At one point in John Bunyans famous work, A Pilgrims Progress, Pilgrim and his friend travel through a town called Vanity Fair. The town is a lot like yours and mine: materialistic, self-absorbed, pleasure-seeking, and God-rejecting. Temptation was lurking around every corner. Inthis message Stephenasks us to consider how well we are surviving the onslaught of temptation that surrounds us every day in our own Vanity Fair. In Bunyans allegory, Pilgrims friend didnt make it out alive. Will you?

In Romans 16:17-18, the Apostle Paul interrupts his letter of commendation to warn the Church about false teachers. Its a warning as relevant to us today as it was to those Christians in Rome. Solet's join Stephenin this messageas he gives us the marks of a false teacher.

The Hall of Faith

Theres a hall of fame for just about everything nowadays. Theres a basketball hall of fame, a bicycling hall of fame, a nurses hall of fame, an aviation hall of fame, a quilters hall of fame; and the list goes on and on! In Romans chapter 16, however, we discover that God has a hall of fame as well. But unlike our worldly displays, the heroes in Gods hall are not praised for great feats of strength, brilliance, or artistry. They are honored for their service and humility. So lets join Stephen now as he shows us a few of the people on display.

Have you ever heard the saying, No man is an island? Well the Apostle Paul, spiritual and energetic as he was, would have said the same thing. In Romans 16:3-5, he introduces us to a Godly couple who poured into him as much as he poured into others. Were it not for their persistent ministry, Paul would not have been the Apostle he was.

God knows Your name and He knows everything about you. You might walk down the street or walk down the aisle of your Church and feel like just a face in the crowd. But there is coming a day when God will call you by name. He will embrace you as His child . . . and He will reward you for all the things you did for his glory that no one else saw. What a day that will be!

There is no doubt that the "homegoing" of a young life, especially one whose life promised so much for the gospel of Jesus Christ, is often confusing and, in our perspective, tragic. One author referred to the death of a committed Christian at the early stages of great potential as, "The sun going down at noon."But what we learn from these men and women is that the best time to walk with God is always today. We never know what will happen tomorrow.

In this message Hezekiah asks God to grant him a wish and God accepts. But what happens nextin Hezekiah's lifeis a warning to all of us. If the moral of this story could be summed up in a single phrase, it would be this: be careful what you wish for!

When you get saved it doesn't mean your troubles will be end. It most likely means your troubles will begin!That's nota great sales pitch for following God, but understanding that helps us to notharbor unreasonable expectations. God never promised to keep usaway from the Goliathsin our lives . . . but He did promise to give us strength in our stand against them.

A newkingis seated on the thronein Judah. He comes from a line ofmen who gaveno regardto Godor His law. It looks to be the same old, same old. But is it possible for a man who grew up in a pagan home with unbelieving parents to love God?Is it possible that this King will finally turn the nation back to the Savior?It would be a surprising conversion, for sure . . . but God is full of surprises!

If Barnabas had taken a personality test, he would probably have been tagged an ENFJ: Extroverted intuitive Feeling Judging. Stephen calls him a 'bridge builder.' He was there to give Saul the support he needed in his early Christian experience and helped set him on his way to spiritual greatness. In this message Stephen tells us that we can be a bridge builder, too.

He didn't know that instead ofmeeting a blood-thirsty, religious zealot he wouldmeet a blind, humble,newborn Christian. Jesus had forgiven Saul for his crimes... would Ananias?

That God would save anyone is amazing, but that He would save someone like Paul is particularly remarkable. In fact, Pauls conversion might be the greatest reversal in human history. How God would change him from the Churchs greatest persecutor to the Churchs greatest preacher is a mystery that Paul never quite understood . But its also a gift he never quite got over!

Much of the holy confusion abounding today has come about from a desire to get holy in a hurry. People would rather have a short lived experience than a long lived obedience. But there is no shortcut to sanctification, it is a lifetime of pursuit and persistence!

Why do you call yourself a Christian?Is it because you thinkit willhelp you get through difficult trials in life? Is itbecause it seems to be the cool thing to do? Or is it becauseyou were a sinner in need of a Savior. Only by throwing yourself upon His grace alone for salvation can you experience the REAL power of God's salvation!

In the first year or two of Church history, Christians are writing positive messages on the walls and walkways in and around their cities due to the religion freedom they were given. But that freedom is about to leave. Persecution will reach the homes and churches of these believers and will test their faith like nothing else before. What will their message be now?
