How do we convince a critical community that Jesus Christ is the Way, the Truth, and the Life?  We are called to be the salt and light to this world, but how?  The first step is the same one we have talked about many times here, Salvation.  Salvation means saved from something but it also means saved to something.  Are we serving the Lord?  Are our standards up to God’s standards?  Are we to judge or love?  If we are forgiven does that mean we can do what we want?  How do we behave at work?  How should we respond when wronged?  Is there a reward for going against our sinful human nature?

Is there a plan for our lives?  We often wonder why we are here.  Brother Tommy has the answer, found in the Bible, for our purpose in life.  Step one is something we discussed last week, that we repent of our sins and receive Jesus Christ as our Savior.  But what are we to do after that?  How can we follow the pattern that God has planned out for us?  Does God want robots?  What are the benefits of choosing to do God’s will?  What is the alternative?  How do we go from choosing God’s will to doing His will?  How far ahead is God’s will revealed?  How is it comforting?  What can we expect?

How can a person be born twice?  We were all born once, or else we would not be here.  But who needs to be born again?  What is the difference between flesh and spirit?  What are the consequences of a second birth?  Can we believe in a concept we don’t fully understand?  What is required of us to receive this second birth?  (Interesting trivia:  Jesus Christ was symbolized many times throughout the Old Testament.  Can you name a time when He was symbolized by a snake?  It seems contrary to God’s message, but Brother Tommy will explain.)

What are you worried about?  What did Jesus say about too much concern for the future?  What do we value most?  How does that disrupt our lives with anxiety?  We were created to love people and use things, not the other way around.  What are the benefits, if any, of worrying?  What does it say to our Heavenly Father when His children worry?  How does Jesus say we can stop worrying?  What is the difference between a want and a need?  Once you know the difference and accept Jesus into your life, there is a powerful promise for you in this lesson.

We love to celebrate a hero.  But what about the one working behind the scenes doing heroic work without much, if any recognition?  Sometimes the job can only be done quietly.  How does the Holy Spirit work in our Lives?  What did the Holy Spirit reveal to Simeon and to us about Jesus Christ?

If the Holy Spirit has been convicting you about your need to be saved, click here:

How many times have you heard someone say that life doesn’t come with an instruction book?  Well, that is not true.  The Author of Life did not leave us without directions, the Bible.  Where did the Bible originate?  What does it mean when the Bible says that it is inspired by God?  Are some parts inspired and others not? Where should our doctrine originate?  Where do we find right and wrong behavior?  How incredible is it that the Bible doesn’t just say, ‘don’t do this’ and ‘don’t do that?’  It gives us a plan of action toward saving Grace and better living.

John 13:1 – 15 gives us a summary of what Jesus Christ wants us to do by His own example.  How does He want us to love others?  How long and how much did Jesus love people?  How about those that opposed Him?  Did He differentiate with those who disappointed Him?  Or betrayed Him?  How did the most powerful person to ever walk the Earth behave while He was here?  What were His attitude and actions?  What can we learn from this example about how to lead and also how to follow?

By the way, Bear (Brother Tommy) loved good instrumental music and Floyd Cramer was a great pianist with some very catchy tunes.  I am sure you can find some on Youtube if you want to acquaint yourself.

To follow Christ’s example you must first accept who He was, why He died and rose, and make it personal.  To start click here:

Here, in America we are approaching the day we celebrate the anniversary of our nation becoming independent.  Brother Tommy delivered this message in 1984.  29 years later a few things have changed, but not the need for God’s blessings.  What kind of citizens make a nation great?  What role do certain institutions play in a great nation?  What are the enemies of greatness and the solutions to them?  While some of this lesson is uniquely American, any nation can become a Godly nation when the people call on Him.
