Sermon Take Away: “A Little More Jesus”

Matthew 16:15 It is so uplifting to hear and see people of God in worship. It is something about the atmosphere of praise. There is a sense of faith, love and unspeakable joy for him. Thoughts of why, how, and when he saved us sparks a continual worship of great gratitude. He is praised for his abiding mercies and amazing grace.

Sermon Take Away: “The Value of Life”

Luke 16:19; Romans 10:9 How often do you think about the purpose of life? Life is more than just daily routines. At anytime, your life could be taken.

Sermon Take Away: “Patience”

Psalm 37; Genesis 39; Philippians 4:8 The word of God is full of inspiration in regards to patience.  Without it we will be paranoid and take matters in our own hands.  In a world of evildoers and an adversary, which seeks to destroy, patience is a valuable quality.   “Fret not thyself because of  evildoers, neither be envious against the workers of iniquity.”  We are not to worry or be jealous because of what they do, but seek  God for eternal life.  Patience makes you breathe, removing the feelings of worry. Stay focused on who you are in Jesus Christ, taking the time … Continue reading Sermon Take Away: “Patience”

Sermon Take Away: “Endure”

James 5:11; I Corinthians 2:9; 2 Corinthians 4:17 We often question why do people of God have trouble, trials, and sometimes a very hard day. It is understood that the sun will not always shine, while we patiently, but with some anxiety wait for prayers to be answered. But the rain and the clouds produce a hardened faith that will not change. There is something greater to consider in those difficult times. The word is endure. Endure is to stay the course, don’t give up and tolerate. In faith, endure is not just living to exist. Endure means that nothing … Continue reading Sermon Take Away: “Endure”
