THE MINISTRY IS SPIRITUAL, NOT LEGAL (2 Cor. 3:6-16)
Monday Feb 13, 2012
Monday Feb 13, 2012
Does your religion have you bound by a list of do's and don'ts? Is your eternal destiny decided by ritual ceremonies, membership in a certain church, or a faith based on the good that you do being more than the bad things you have done? There is a better answer. There is a certain answer. You can have a faith based on a personal relationship with God. Not works, not rituals, not obeying certain rules, simply a relationship with the one true almighty God of the universe. Listen and rejoice as Paul tells us of the greater glory of the grace of God in this verse-by-verse study of 2 Cor. 3:6-16.

THE NEW TESTAMENT MINISTRY (2 Cor. 2:14 to 3:5)
Monday Feb 06, 2012
Monday Feb 06, 2012
Do pastors get discouraged preaching week after week with no response to the invitation call? Do missionaries question if they are making any impact at all in a land that hates Christianity? Do Christians feel impotent when their family members reject their attempts at telling them about Christ? Of course, the answer is yes to all of these questions. But Paul tells us in this verse-by-verse study of 2 Cor. 2:14 through 3:5 that we are ALWAYS triumphant in our efforts in Christ to spread the savor, or the knowledge of Christ. Not just some of the time, but always and in all places. Listen and rejoice as Paul tells us how the ministry of the New Testament is victorious in Christ.

Monday Jan 09, 2012
If you are facing a trial in your life, if you have a heart burdened with sorrow and pain, God is the one that can truly provide comfort to you.
Are you lonely? Do you feel abandoned? God understands this type of suffering and He provides comfort for you. God provides comfort for our emotional suffering.
.
Are you suffering from physical pain, disease, a physical or mental handicap? God understand this type of suffering as well and God provides comfort for our physical suffering.
Are Satan and his demons attacking you in the work that you are doing for the Lord? Is Satan trying to discourage you, to detract you from accomplishing God’s will for your life? Then God has the comfort that you need. God provides comfort for our spiritual suffering.
As the God of all comfort God provides for all of our suffering, no matter what type it is.
How do we know that He can? Because the best person to provide comfort to someone who is suffering is someone who has suffered that same type of tragedy or pain in their lives. In this study we are going to show how God knows what we are suffering because of the suffering that He has endured.

The ascension of our Lord and the work that He is performing today for us as our High Priest is significant to our faith. Jesus is alive and working for us today. Jesus did not just go off into heaven and leave us never to be heard from again. His work on earth has provided us with a perfect and complete salvation. His work in Heaven continues our salvation as our great High Priest in the Holy Tabernacle in Heaven. Jesus is alive. Jesus is working for us in Heaven, and Jesus is coming back. These are things that distinguish our faith from all other religions. These are things we base our faith on.
