The Act Involved In Sanctification
In putting off our old self and putting on our new self particularly, we often hear ministers asking people to pray, experience a deliverance, or let go and let God. Yet, are these scriptural at all? The Church must restore teaching believers how to think and act upon the instruction of the Lord. In fact, God don’t command us to do things without enabling us to do so. Find out why the act of sanctification is never to be taken lightly.
Stand Firm, The Lord Will Fight For You
One of the hardest things for us to do is to stand still, especially in the face of dangers. However, sometimes God asks us to simply stand firm and watch how He fights for us. We all love to have God fighting for us. But are we willing to surrender our control and desires and let God fight for us on His terms?
Read God’s Word Yet Not Knowing His Heart?
If God’s word is so important that our lives depend on it, do you think you have understood God’s word correctly? How should we read God’s word? Through the word of God, are you able to understand His heart?
God’s Strange Yet Faithful Guidance
Many a times we may find God’s guidance “strange”. Why did He lead us on a detour when there was a shorter way? Why did He let us go the hard way instead of the easy one? Yet, do we know how much hidden dangers God had helped us evade by that “longer” path? And even if God really gives us the shortest and easiest way, will we surely follow Him?
Consecrate Yourself and Every Firstborn to God
In the relationship between God and His people, God is the major player, who initiates and sustains His relationship with us. Yet, we should have our due response too. God not only redeems His people, but He also wants His redemption to influence and shape our entire lives, such that we live to honor the One who redeemed us. As we commemorate God’s gracious redemption, are we willing to consecrate our lives to Him?
Hope In God During Depression And Misery
The Bible didn’t give us the illusion that after coming to the Lord Jesus Christ, we’ll be free from all troubles. In fact, the Bible gives us a sense of reality where there will be times when we will be downcast and disturbed within us. How do we handle those seasons in our lives? Many have sought help from the wrong place and prolonged their suffering. The Psalmist however has given us the key to those depressive and miserable moments, where he learned to put his hopes in God alone. Find out how our inner man must be made wholesome to trust God in those moments.
Be Humble Or Be Humiliated Before God
It is not easy for us sinners to humble down, whether it is before God or men. For the natural human tendency is to exalt one’s self and insist on one’s own ways, rather than to yield to another being. Therefore, God has to keep humbling men down, reminding them of His sovereignty and superiority. What is your response in the face of the mighty God? Can we gain anything from being stubborn against God?
Christ Is The Head Over Everything For The Church
Does the Church know what is true of Christ is true of her as well? When Jesus sits at the right hand of God at this moment, the Church (mystical body of Christ) sits right there with Him. What does that position mean for the church? Does the church know the security, privilege and mystery of that position? So often, we are trapped in our despairs and miseries because we are ignorant of the benefits that position brings. Find out from this week’s sermon regarding the supremacy of Christ and what does that mean for the Church.
God Saves Us To Sanctify Us
Why did God ask the Israelites not to eat bread with yeast during the Passover and the festival of unleavened bread? What is the significance of “leaven (yeast)” in this case? How does it shed light on God’s heart for us after He saves us? What is God doing in our lives and demanding from us after we received His salvation?
The Importance Of Studying The Word
Studying the Word of God is not only meant for those with an active and intellectual mind. God has created the human mind to understand, reason, and make sense out of things. He has also given us a heart to exercise faith and yield to what we have understood. So God desires us to know Him through the careful studying of His word, and through knowing, yield our hearts to Him.
