The Benefits of Being in Christ

September 24, 2024 • The Gospel of Christ

The word of God says, "If anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. Old things are passed away. Behold, all has become new," 2 Corinthians 5:17. We welcome you today to our study of the benefits of being in Christ. Today, we're going to talk about why a person wants to make sure that he's in Christ and that he's a child of God. We hope that this encouragement will motivate all of us to make sure we're right on the side of God. In Ephesians 1:3, the Bible says that "Every spiritual blessing is ours in Christ Jesus." What a joy and a privilege it is for the child of God to be in Christ. We're going to think about- what are the benefits, why is it such a wonderful thing to make sure that a person is actually in Christ, and what does it mean to really be in Christ?

You know, so many people wander through life without purpose, without meaning, just take a lackadaisical approach to life. They have no real direction or purpose. But yet the child of God is created by God to glorify and honor his name in everything we say and do. What does the Bible say about having a life that glorifies God?

The Way Home

August 9, 2024 • The Gospel of Christ

The apostle Paul said, "For our citizenship is in Heaven, from which we eagerly wait for the Lord Jesus Christ." Welcome to our study of God's word and as we think about the Christians' way home. Home is one of those words that brings such a fond meaning to our hearts and to our life. We often say, "There's no place like home." How true that is. Where you feel the most comfortable, where you feel loved, where you feel protected and taken care of- home has a special place in every person's heart. Paul said our true citizenship is in Heaven. That's where we really belong, is in Heaven itself. Jesus said, "I'm going to prepare a place for you," John 14:1. There is that place of beauty, rest, and splendor for every child of God, but how do you get home? (The full transcript is available in the "Download Document" button above.)

You can be sure that our enemy, the devil, is walking about like a roaring lion seeking whom he may devour. He's going to and fro, back and forth on the earth looking for people to tempt and deceive to be lost, Job 1:6. What are we going to do to overcome our enemy, Satan, and to win the great battle?

The Joy of Christianity

August 9, 2024 • The Gospel of Christ

‘Rejoice in the Lord always, and again I say rejoice.’ There is no greater joy in all the world than the joy of being a Christian and the joy of being able to look up to Heaven and say, "Our Father, Who are in Heaven", Matthew 6:9. We're going to be thinking about why Christianity is such great joy, and how wonderful it is to be a Christian. Sometimes when you see Christians, sadly, they don't look very joyful. That's contrary to the way the Bible teaches. Christians ought to be joyful people. We ought to be able to have the joy that passes and the peace that passes all understanding.

Back to the Bible

August 9, 2024 • The Gospel of Christ

The message of God came to the people of Israel saying, “Thus says the Lord, stand in the way and see, and ask for the old path, where the good way is, and then you'll find rest for your souls.” But they said, “We will not walk in it.” Jeremiah 6:16 God encouraged Israel through the great prophet, Jeremiah, to find the old path, to seek the good way, to strive to do what God wanted them to do, and really to go back to the word of God- back to the Bible- we might say, for God's authority in their life. Why did Israel go into captivity? Why did they eventually go into spiritual ruin? A lack of knowledge. (The full transcript is available in the "Download Document" button above.)

Righteousness of Phinehas

May 24, 2022 • The Gospel of Christ

The Psalmist said, "Zeal for your house has eaten me up." And while those words, in Psalm 69:9, are no doubt applied to Jesus as he cleansed the Temple, it would also apply, in practicality, to one great man in the Old Testament who was fed up with sin and took righteous action. His name is Phinehas, the grandson of Aaron and high priest will ultimately be high priest to God. What does the Bible say about the righteousness of Phinehas?
