Christ Is The Answer – The Consequences of The Resurrection

      20010325 Christ Is The Answer - The Consequences Of The Resurrection - Rev. Tommy Jones

 

Is there a pivotal moment in #Jesus Christ’s life that is make or break for #Christians?  Is it His birth that fulfilled all the #prophecies of the Old Testament?  Was it the first miracle of His ministry when Jesus turned water into wine?  Could it have been His many healings or when He fed the 5000?  How about when He died on the cross for our sins?  All of these might have disappeared into history had Christ not risen from the dead.  It is the key to a living faith.  Without the resurrection, what kind of faith would we have?  How could we have joy or hope?  What is the significance of the first fruits?  What does the resurrection mean for Believers?

Christ Is The Answer – Evaluation of Spiritual Gifts

What is a #SpiritualGift?  When a person becomes a follower of #Jesus Christ, the Holy Spirit enters that person and amplifies or bestows a talent for the Believer to use to glorify God.  All gifts have a purpose but are they all equal?  The church at Corinth had become fascinated with one particular gift and in this passage Paul had to help them restore the balance.  Why is the gift of prophecy better than the gift of speaking in tongues?  Is prophecy only about the future?  How does prophecy build up the Church and evangelize the lost?  Paul gave serious warnings about the gift of speaking in tongues and when it should not be used.  Seek the giver not the gift.

Christ Is The Answer – The Eternity of Love

      20010225 Christ Is The Answer - The Eternity Of Love - Rev. Tommy Jones

 

A good #investment is one that lasts a long time, so a great investment must be one that lasts #forever.  We are talking today about the #love of #God.  He loves us so much He sent His only Son to be a sacrifice to allow us eternal life if we repent of our sins and give Him control of our life.  If love is a gift that is eternal, does that mean that some gifts are not?  What are some of the childish things we should put away?  What does Paul mean when he says that now we see through a glass dimly?  Do any graces besides love last forever?  Is any of these graces greater than love?  How do we achieve this kind of love for God and others?

Christ Is The Answer – The Activity of Love

Forgive me for missing last week, we were under a #Covid #quarantine.  The world speaks of #love as a feeling, but the #Bible says that love is also an activity.  If love is just a feeling then we are not responsible for it.  But if it is an activity, we are required to make an effort.  Can we undertake this activity exclusively under our own power?  What does love prevent us from doing?  Maybe you have heard the more often quoted part of this passage that tells us what love does.  Once you have confessed your sins and given your life to Jesus, ask Him to help you work on these activities of love.

Christ Is The Answer – The Superiority of Love

After celebrating the ultimate example of God’s #love last week, let’s get back to our series , Christ is the answer.  Can #faith and #hope be ours without love?  How does love relate to the other gifts of the Holy Spirit?  The greek language had several words for love.  In this passage from First Corinthians, what does the use of agape tell us?  To show the superiority of love, Paul lists where we would be in multiple facets of life without love.  I don’t know about you but if I am suspicious of the motive of a speaker or authority figure, i will not be persuaded to follow or act.  Is love a gift or a grace?  Without love what do we have?

Does #Christmas sneak up on you, or does it take forever to come around?  It probably depends on your age.  But whatever age you are, it can be a wonderful time.  Why do you think God sent His son when He did, not sooner or later?  Any birth is a cause for celebration, but how much more exciting is the birth that split time into before and after?  The birth of Jesus Christ also fulfilled 333 prophecies in the Old Testament.  How did the birth of Jesus bring joy and peace to this world?  How about hope and love?  God came down to Earth to restore a personal relationship with us, will you accept His gift?

Why do so many people #LightUp their yards, houses, and streets in December?  From #ChristmasTrees to #parades, light shows are everywhere this time of year.  Why are these lighting events held at night?  How dark was the world when Jesus Christ arrived?  Is there still a contrast between the darkness of the world today and the Light of the world?  In addition to the darkness of sin, what other things did the arrival of Jesus defeat?  The angels appeared to the shepherds in dazzling light with a message of good news and yet, the shepherds had to be told to ‘fear not.’  Why?  What can we learn from their response?

Christmas Wonder

Why did most of the world not recognize the #Messiah, the #Savior when He came to #Earth?  When you don’t read #God’s #Word to find out what He says about Himself, you can miss the #truth.  The world needs now as then a Comforter and a solution to the problem of sin.  How did God supernaturally reveal and simultaneously protect His Son?  Is there a special light that still guides us to Jesus Christ?  Given the dangerous journey that the wisemen undertook to find the Lord, shouldn’t we be more diligent to seek out and attend church?  What can we learn about worship from the example of the wisemen?  Was there significance in the gifts they brought?  Are there still any wise men and women out there?
