Mighty To Save

Chris — Mon, 06 Apr 2009 21:18:11 +0000

Hebrews 10: 1-14 (The Message)

The old plan was only a hint of the good things in the new plan. Since that old “law plan” wasn’t complete in itself, it couldn’t complete those who followed it. No matter how many sacrifices were offered year after year, they never added up to a complete solution. If they had, the worshipers would have gone merrily on their way, no longer dragged down by their sins. But instead of removing awareness of sin, when those animal sacrifices were repeated over and over they actually heightened awareness and guilt. The plain fact is that bull and goat blood can’t get rid of sin. That is what is meant by this prophecy, put in the mouth of Christ:

You don’t want sacrifices and offerings year after year; you’ve prepared a body for me for a sacrifice. It’s not fragrance and smoke from the altar that whet your appetite. So I said, “I’m here to do it your way, O God, the way it’s described in your Book.”

When he said, “You don’t want sacrifices and offerings,” he was referring to practices according to the old plan. When he added, “I’m here to do it your way,” he set aside the first in order to enact the new plan—God’s way—by which we are made fit for God by the once-for-all sacrifice of Jesus.

Every priest goes to work at the altar each day, offers the same old sacrifices year in, year out, and never makes a dent in the sin problem. As a priest, Christ made a single sacrifice for sins, and that was it! Then he sat down right beside God and waited for his enemies to cave in. It was a perfect sacrifice by a perfect person to perfect some very imperfect people. By that single offering, he did everything that needed to be done for everyone who takes part in the purifying process.

The Right Stuff

Chris — Thu, 02 Apr 2009 03:31:51 +0000

Acts 16:9-15 During the night Paul had a vision of a man of Macedonia standing and begging him, “Come over to Macedonia and help us.” After Paul had seen the vision, we got ready at once to leave for Macedonia, concluding that God had called us to preach the gospel to them. From Troas we put out to sea and sailed straight for Samothrace, and the next day on to Neapolis. From there we traveled to Philippi, a Roman colony and the leading city of that district of Macedonia. And we stayed there several days. On the Sabbath we went outside the city gate to the river, where we expected to find a place of prayer. We sat down and began to speak to the women who had gathered there. One of those listening was a woman named Lydia, a dealer in purple cloth from the city of Thyatira, who was a worshiper of God. The Lord opened her heart to respond to Paul’s message. When she and the members of her household were baptized, she invited us to her home. “If you consider me a believer in the Lord,” she said, “come and stay at my house.” And she persuaded us.

People Who Please God

Chris — Mon, 23 Mar 2009 22:49:03 +0000

Hebrews 11:4-10 (the Message): By an act of faith, Abel brought a better sacrifice to God than Cain. It was what he believed, not what he brought, that made the difference. That’s what God noticed and approved as righteous. After all these centuries, that belief continues to catch our notice. By an act of faith, Enoch skipped death completely. “They looked all over and couldn’t find him because God had taken him.” We know on the basis of reliable testimony that before he was taken “he pleased God.” It’s impossible to please God apart from faith. And why? Because anyone who wants to approach God must believe both that he exists and that he cares enough to respond to those who seek him. By faith, Noah built a ship in the middle of dry land. He was warned about something he couldn’t see, and acted on what he was told. The result? His family was saved. His act of faith drew a sharp line between the evil of the unbelieving world and the rightness of the believing world. As a result, Noah became intimate with God. By an act of faith, Abraham said yes to God’s call to travel to an unknown place that would become his home. When he left he had no idea where he was going. By an act of faith he lived in the country promised him, lived as a stranger camping in tents. Isaac and Jacob did the same, living under the same promise. Abraham did it by keeping his eye on an unseen city with real, eternal foundations—the City designed and built by God.

Walking By Faith Not By Sight

Chris — Tue, 17 Mar 2009 20:48:27 +0000

Hebrews 11:13 All these people were living by faith when they died. They did not receive the things promised. They only saw them and welcomed them from a distance. They admitted they were aliens and strangers on the earth.

You know, we’ve begun this study on faith and today we continue on with Hebrews 11 and today’s title comes from actually 2nd Corinthians 5, where Paul was instructing the church at Corinth that very important something about faith that you need to understand, you have to walk by faith and not by sight. You have to walk and you have to live by faith and not by sight. It’s easy to say that you trust God. You can come to church, say amen, shake your head, it’s very easy to walk by faith when you can see when you walk in the light. But most of us never learn to walk in faith until…

Pray Until Something Happens

Chris — Tue, 24 Feb 2009 19:35:30 +0000

All thru the year we are going to be studying, singing, worshiping and praying about faith. Essential in prayer is all based about faith. Believing that God is who He says He is and is going to do everything that He’s promised to do. And that’s kinda where we’re rallying around this year. Our church has just finished 50 days of prayer since the first of this year praying everyday for 50 days thru a book called Acts 29. Praying 10 chapters, the book of Acts that gave birth to the church and turned the world upside-down. The Spirit of the Lord was poured out and we’ve been praying for that same Spirit that was poured out on the early church to be poured out once again on us. We’ve been praying for 50 days that God would do just a great work in us, in our community and our city. That people would come to know Jesus Christ, that churches would experience revival.

And we start today with praying another 40 days, we’re going to be praying the first 90 days of 2009 that God will show up, HUGE in our midst. On Easter Sunday we will see people that you thought could’ve never ever been reached by Jesus, come to know Him as their personal savior. I’m believing for that, I’m not trying to get a crowd, I’m believing that God will do something huge. Now the question is are we going to have faith to believe that together and to do what’s necessary. Today I’m going to share with you about praying until something happens…
