Every command in the Bible is impossible to keep as God requires. It is truly impossible for anyone to be holy as God is holy, to be perfect even as our Father in heaven is perfect, to love our enemies as God "so loved the world." So, if every command is impossible to keep, why did God command us in the first place? Is it possibly that He wants us to depend on Him, for us to allow His Spirit to work through us?

In this series, we will look at the non-stop action that occurs in one 24-hour day described in Mathew 14 and Mark 6. In the first sermon, we will look at how Jesus handles bad news and more bad news, as he learns of the death of John the Baptist and Herod's evil intent concerning Jesus. We will consider how to remain strong when we get a double dose of bad news.

The Christmas message clearly spells out the deity of Christ, but this is not just a theological issue with which to ponder. It is meant to jolt us out of our spiritual stupor (sleepiness) to obeying "Jesus Christ our LORD." If obedience in our daily lives is replaced by right theology, then the boat has sailed without us.

Christmas should not be celebrated without understanding the reason behind its celebration, it is certainly not about getting drunk and unwrapping gifts-It has an interesting and significant meaning to us as Christians, a period of sober reflection on the birth, life and time of christ Jesus, our reconciliation and our justication are all tied to it. It is about the unspeakable love and gift of God to mankind. Merry Christmas and a happy new year. A time to offer more practical and reassuring support to those in need.
Most people acknowledge that x-mas is pagan, but where is the proof? This presentation not only brings forth the Biblical truth but also gives the historical proof of what this false festival really celebrates. Return to Yaweh, enjoy and Repent!
Did you know Santa Claus dates back to Old Babylon? Did you know the prophet Jeremiah speaks of the cutting of trees and decorating them with gold and silver? Or, did you know the title "Christmas" was originally a Roman state church "Mass" to celebrate and pray to a dead "saint?"
Just as babies change our lives in significant ways, a genuine encounter with the child of Bethlehem changes everything in our lives. Particularly, Jesus changes our priorities, our hearts and our Self-Reliance.

The Christ of Christmas is more than just a baby in a manger. He is the eternal Creator, the incarnate God, the Savior of the world, the risen Lord and the coming King. Discover what happened before the beginning. All things were created by Him and for Him and in Him all things consist. Everything was completed in Him before creation began.

Paganism/Idolatry...There is nothing new under the sun..Eccles 1:9Anthony Bravo
A large portion of The Word is dedicated to keeping us away from false gods. Many of our spiritual leaders either have no clue as to what paganism is or are directly involved in paganism thus leading the people astray from Yaweh. This is the 4th study which will tackle this issue as to who or what is paganism. So by the end of the study you will know who is Yaweh talking about when He asks you to "stay away from other gods."

The point of dispute is not whether Jesus existed, but His identity and what He achieved through His work. What you believe matters, but it also matters what you believe.
The Parable of the Sower and the Seed (Luke 8) is about radical transformation from dirt to new life that happens from God's Word and the dangers that come for those seeking spiritual growth!
We've got to allow God to strip down all the years of grime and cheap paint piled on top of each other. He needs to get down to the bare original so He can begin to fill the cracks, sand the rough edges, and make our hearts beautiful again. He’s already looked beneath the layers and has determined that we're all worth doing over.

A375 Example Taste the taste of the Lord, the taste of the Lord The taste of...franktsao4
It seems that current missionary work requires spending a lot of money, preparing a lot of materials, and traveling to far away places, so that it feels like missionary work. But what was the result they brought back? It's just a lot of photos of activities, fun eating, drinking and some playing games. And then we have to do the same thing next year, never ending. The church once mentioned that a certain missionary would go to the field where she used to work before the end of his life. It seemed that if she had not gone, no one would be willing to go. The reason why these missionary work is so difficult is that no one obeys God’s words, and the Bible is not the main content during missionary work, because in the eyes of those who do not obey God’s words, the Bible is just words and cannot be connected with life, so Reading out God's words is boring because it doesn't have any life experience, so it cannot be connected with human life. I will give a few examples in the hope that this situation can be changed. A375

3. He went to Nazareth, where he had
been brought up, and on the
Sabbath day he went into the
synagogue, as was his custom. He
stood up to read, and the scroll of
the prophet Isaiah was handed to
him. Unrolling it, he found the
place where it is written:
4. “The Spirit of the Lord is on me,
because he has anointed me to
proclaim good news to the poor.
He has sent me to proclaim
freedom for the prisoners and
recovery of sight for the blind,
to set the oppressed free, to
proclaim the year of the Lord’s
favor.”
5. Then he rolled up the scroll, gave it
back to the attendant and sat
down. The eyes of everyone in the
synagogue were fastened on
him. He began by saying to
them, “Today this scripture is
fulfilled in your hearing.”
6. All spoke well of him and were
amazed at the gracious words that
came from his lips. “Isn’t this
Joseph’s son?” they asked.
Jesus said to them, “Surely you will
quote this proverb to me:
‘Physician, heal yourself!’ And you
will tell me, ‘Do here in your
hometown what we have heard
that you did in Capernaum.’”
7. “Truly I tell you,” he continued, “no
prophet is accepted in his
hometown. I assure you that there
were many widows in Israel in
Elijah’s time, when the sky was shut
for three and a half years and there
was a severe famine throughout
the land. Yet Elijah was not sent to
any of them, but to a widow in
Zarephath in the region of Sidon.
8. And there were many in
Israel with leprosy in the time
of Elisha the prophet, yet not
one of them was cleansed—
only Naaman the Syrian.”
All the people in the
synagogue were furious
when they heard this.
9. They got up, drove him out of
the town, and took him to the
brow of the hill on which the
town was built, in order to
throw him off the cliff. But he
walked right through the
crowd and went on his way.

This is what the LORD says: “Stand at the
crossroads and look; ask for the ancient
paths, ask where the good way is, and
walk in it, and you will find rest for your
souls. But you said, ‘We will not walk in it.’
Jeremiah 6:16
17. The Truth about our FUTURE - Disciples
A disciple commits his/her life to
learning all that the master has to teach,
doing all the master has shown how to
do, and sharing all the master has given
to share.

will look back at us and say,
because of you I didn’t give up!”
