The Joy of Jesus – Available For Calculation – Matter of Profit and Loss – When Profit Becomes Loss

      20051009 Joy Of Jesus - Available For Calculation - Matter Of Profit & Loss - When Profit Becomes Loss - Rev. Tommy Jones

 

There is a lot of #profit that has become #loss lately with all of the #quarantine and #marketcrash going on right now due to #covid19.  Paul, in Philippians, encouraged us not to have confidence in the flesh.  Could that be a lesson God is teaching all of us right now?  Paul listed off all the things he counted on before coming to faith in Jesus Christ.  Why were they not enough?  Was it not sufficient to his salvation that he was born into the right family or that he was extremely religious?  What are you counting on instead of, or in addition to Jesus Christ to save your soul?  Is it money, status, reputation, or something else?

The Joy of Jesus – Triumphant Serving – As Exemplified – Through Humiliation

      20050807 Triumphant Serving - As Exemplified - Through Humiliation - Rev. Tommy Jones

 

Have you ever had a #boss who would stop what they were doing to accomplish one of the many things they asked you to do?  It is at first, embarrassing.  But, then you catch on to what their priorities are.  And, if you are wise, you make it your priority.  How much more so, should we copy Jesus Christ, being God and coming down to our level and showing us what to do?  Those of us who are in Christ, should constantly strive to be more like our Lord and Savior.  That means humbling ourselves and serving others.  Where and who was Jesus before He came here?  Why and how did Christ come down to us?  Jesus Christ was perfectly obedient His whole life.  To where did that obedience lead?

      20050529 The Joy Of Jesus - Book Of Phillipians - Rev. Tommy Jones

This should have posted last week.

Okay, let’s go back to the beginning of this series on the book of Philippians by Brother Tommy.  What is #joy? How does it differ from #happiness?  From where does true joy come?  Jesus was perfect and therefor had perfect joy.  What were Paul’s circumstances when he wrote this book to the church at Philippi?  How does proper joy produce triumph in all situations?  Once we agree that we need it, how do we receive the joy of Jesus?  What are the risks and rewards of obtaining it?  Where does our citizenship lie, and why does that make a difference?  What are the benefits of this Heavenly joy?

Study In A Stable – Mary

      20011216 Study In A Stable - Mary - Rev. Tommy Jones

 

Time is short, there is less than two weeks left on the #Christmas #countdown.  And we are on our second of three messages leading up to the anniversary of the Savior’s birth.  Today we hear the story of Mary, a virgin girl chosen by God to deliver the long awaited Messiah.  Typical of the way God works, the events would not unfold the way anybody who knew the prophecies expected.  Interesting fact, the Bible mentions that Mary visited her cousin Elizabeth when Elizabeth was six months into her own pregnancy with John the Baptist.  An ob/gyn friend of mine said that this is the point in a pregnancy when mothers first feel movement of their child.  To what extent do we or should we revere Mary?  What are some of the extra-biblical ideas being taught about her?  What does the Bible say about her?  Mary was favored by God, did that make her life easier?  When presented with overwhelming news about her future, what was Mary’s perfect answer?

Let’s kick off a series of December messages by Brother Tommy from 2001.  Even back then, he was lamenting the #waronChristmas.  This week, he talks about Joseph.  And in the following weeks, we will cover Mary and Jesus.  Can you think of one Christmas song about Joseph?  What role did Joseph play in the birth and life of Jesus?  What was his background and lineage?  What can we assume abut his faith from this test he went through?  What can we learn about how to treat others by watching Joseph’s treatment of Mary?  What can we learn from his faith in God?

Biblical Basis for Missions – The Master of Missions

Bible Audio Blog

Even though #Einstein wasn’t a #Christian, he did breathe new life into the #logic side of the discussion about the existence of #God with his theories about #physics and #dimensions.  But even more important than these scientific boundaries that were expanded, was the work that Christ did in His ministry, crucifixion, and resurrection.  And what did Jesus tell us to do about it?  Why did the Master wait until the end to send His disciples out into the world?  How urgent is the Great Commission?  If Jesus has the power and authority to send His followers out to spread the Gospel, and I believe He proved that He does, will He then share that with those who obey?

Walk in Love

Bible Audio Blog

Last week, we learned how to #walk in the #light.  This week, we are learning to walk in #love.  When #Jesus was asked what the greatest #commandment is, His answer was about loving God and loving others.  Where does love originate?  How does it differ from our idea of love?  Does Godly love require reciprocity?  If we both go for a walk and travel the same distance, will we end up at the same place?  Only if we start on the same path from the same point.  What proof do we have of God’s love toward us before we even acknowledge Him?  How can we possibly emulate that toward others?  What are the benefits of getting this right?  Truly walking this way tells us what about our standing with God?

His Infernal Ministry – The Peril Of The Unholy Spirit – The Savior’s Domination

Bible Audio Blog

Finally, a series of messages with a #HappyEnding.  #SpoilerAlert, if you’ve read the #Bible you already know who wins.  What is the difference between the way the devil tried to gain power and the way Jesus Christ achieved domination over him?  Interesting fact, what happened to the Faithful that died before Christ’s sacrifice on the cross?  Did Jesus’s substitutionary death achieve anything for Believers in the present?  What does the Bible say will happen to Satan in the future?  What is the rightful accusation that the devil presents about us?  What is the Christian’s answer to this?  What is the difference between fighting for victory and fighting from victory?
