How To Please God

      19860921 How To Please God - Rev. Tommy Jones

 

#DIY or do it yourself is very popular on #Youtube.  Most of the titles start with ‘How To.’  Well, we have three of them before we hear the Christmas message later this month.  Is it possible to please God?  What does the Bible say?  Is there more than one way?  Is there an essential element required first, kind of like making sure you have the right tool before you start?  What is Faith?  I have heard people say they won’t put their Faith in anyone or anything.  But, how could they get through a day?  What are some roadblocks to greater Faith?  What is important about God wanting us to have Faith in Him?  How did Jesus show us this was the case?  What is wrong with a lack of Faith?  What are the rewards of Faith in God?  How would you like five steps to getting a stronger Faith?

THE LIVING GOD #REWARDS

Do you enter every #sweepstake hoping to win the #prize #rewards of #money/new#car/beautiful #house/#vacation in #paradise?  I get mail promotions with a special key which could win the car of my dreams if it unlocks the car door, but I would have to go in person to the dealership to find out!  We all make choices constantly; some profitably – some “forgetable” !   At my age, I realize more and more how our choices affect our rewards.  We can sit an dream about our dream, but never take the first step to make it a reality.  God gave us the key to the kingdom of God in His Son, Jesus Christ, but have you gone to Him in person?    Peter answered Jesus in Matt.16 when Jesus asked him , “whom say you that I am?” –(Peter) Thou are the Christ, the Son of the living God..…(JESUS)I will give unto you the keys of the kingdom of heaven”    Will you choose the only key that opens the heavenly gates of eternity with God?  “Without FAITH it is impossible to please Him; for ‘the one’ that comes to God must believe that He is, and that He is a REWARDER of them that diligently seek Him.“Heb. 11:6  “the just shall live by his faith.” Hab.2:4  What choices are you making today?    “What are you entering into and now (will) you turn to God from idols to serve the living and true God; and wait for His Son from heaven, whom He raised from the dead, even Jesus, who delivered us from the wrath to come.”  1 Thess.1:10

Grace To Sustain

      19830821pm Grace To Sustain - Rev. Tommy Jones

 

Have you ever gotten in a #badmood because you were having a #badday?  Who hasn’t?  Today, I had to apologize to my grown children for my #attitude about the way things turned out.  I had planned a reunion to celebrate birthdays and I was being plagued with what appeared to be inconveniences.  In my lack of Faith, I forgot that God has it under control.  How much better would my witness have been if I had praised each setback as it occurred?  If only I had posted this blog about 24 hours earlier.  By Grace through Faith, we are saved.  But is that all that Grace does?  How is Grace given out?  How can it help us to avoid sin?  What about trouble?  Can Christians avoid trials and tribulations?  Is there a purpose for this?

How To Face Problems

      19860105pm How To Face Problems - Rev. Tommy Jones

 

So you think you have #problems?  Do you assess the cold hard #facts and then proceed?  That may be a good quality at work or in a few of your day to day decisions, but what is wrong with that approach to spiritual problems, or really any problem for a Christian?  When God asks ‘what is that in your hand?’ is He curious or is He reminding us?  What can happen when we let go?  What roles does our perspective play in the way things turn out?  How has previous experience taught us to face the future?

What causes you to doubt?  The rise of #ISIS, when your favorite celebrity or leader gets caught in a #scandal, or maybe your faith is rattled when the #stockmarket plunges.  Misplaced faith causes great confusion in this life.  Is God strong enough to answer your questions?  Is Jesus’ victory over sin and death nullified by others claiming to have better answers?  Do Believers ever have doubts?  What kind of doubts are healthy?  What causes doubt to occur?  Emotions are a good and necessary thing but what happens when they are trusted too much?  What is the cure for doubt?  Check out the last two minutes, Brother Tommy closes this message with an especially helpful tip for us today.

Growing Christians

      19830605 Growing Christians - Rev. Tommy Jones

 

Once we have received #JesusChrist as our personal #Lord and #Savior, what can we expect and what is expected of us?  How many conversions are involved?  What is happening when a Christian turns back to their old ways or never really changes?  If a Christian could lose their Salvation, what would that mean about Jesus’ sacrifice?  If the question of security has been answered, and it has, how do we then grow?

Delivery From Doubt

      19871129 Delivery From Doubt - Rev. Tommy Jones

 

Wouldn’t it be great to know that in these #troubled times there is a #plan?  Well there is.  Once you have asked #JesusChrist to be your Lord and Savior, you can have assurances that you are on the winning side.  But what does a Christian do when doubts pop up?  Is Faith a destination or a spectrum?  Who proclaimed the Lord and His identity at the beginning of his ministry, but later had questions after earthly setbacks.  What can we learn from the answers he got?  How do misunderstandings and discouragements lead us down the wrong path?  How did Jesus react to honest doubt?
