When They Saw the Star They Rejoiced ~ Hear Christmas Sermons

Matthew 2:10 is the tenth verse of the second chapter of the Gospel of Matthew in the New Testament. The magi, dispatched by King Herod, have been shown the location of the infant Jesus by the Star of Bethlehem. In this verse they react to this.

 

In the King James Version of the Bible the text reads:

When they saw the star, they rejoiced with exceeding great joy.

 The conversion of Saul of Tarsus

teaches the identity of  Christians as

being so connected to Jesus Christ that whatever you do to or do for any one of them, even the least of them, you do it for or to JESUS.

Jesus is the head,

and his church are members of his body.

Following his conversion,

Saul, whom we know now as PAUL

asks

"LORD, what do you want me to do?"

THE GRACE OF GOD

What is so important

about the word

of Gods' grace?

Be reminded that you cannot

earn Gods' favor.

You deserve nothing!

God freely gives us grace and favor.

Grace is what God does for you

that you cannot do for yourself!

Unmerited Favor because of His Love.

 Not because you deserve

but because of His GRACE

 

A PURE HEART SHALL SEE GOD

TO THE WORDS OF JESUS

SERMON ON THE MOUNT: THE BEATITUDES

Discussion:

The heart of a person represents the core being of that person,

Purity defines the integrity of the heart or core being.

In other words...

Singleness of heart (also called singleheartedness) is the ideal of having sole devotion to a task or endeavour.

Pure of Heart... In the text it means...

Having a heart for GOD.

A devotion for GOD.

The focus

on the single purpose

of glorifying GOD.

~

Those who purpose in the heart

to seek and to glorify GOD

have the promise

To see GOD

To find God through their purity of heart

Though to the naked eye

GOD appears invisible,

The spiritual revelation

is a present reality.

~

 Blessed are the pure in heart:

for they shall see God.

Leave Your Waterpot and Go Harvest the Fields

The Sermon Preached Today, 11-3-2013 at St. Paul's Community Baptist Church
was taken from JOHN 4: 27-38

²⁷ And at this point His disciples came, and they marveled that He talked with a woman; yet no one said, “What do You seek?” or, “Why are You talking with her?”
²⁸ The woman then left her waterpot, went her way into the city, and said to the men, ²⁹ “Come, see a Man who told me all things that I ever did. Could this be the Christ?” ³⁰ Then they went out of the city and came to Him.
³¹ In the meantime His disciples urged Him, saying, “Rabbi, eat.”
³² But He said to them, “I have food to eat of which you do not know.”
³³ Therefore the disciples said to one another, “Has anyone brought Him anything to eat?”
³⁴ Jesus said to them, “My food is to do the will of Him who sent Me, and to finish His work. ³⁵ Do you not say, ‘There are still four months and then comes the harvest’? Behold, I say to you, lift up your eyes and look at the fields, for they are already white for harvest! ³⁶ And he who reaps receives wages, and gathers fruit for eternal life, that both he who sows and he who reaps may rejoice together. ³⁷ For in this the saying is true: ‘One sows and another reaps.’ ³⁸ I sent you to reap that for which you have not labored; others have labored, and you have entered into their labors.”

 The woman 

left her waterpot

went her way 

into the city

to witness to men about Christ.

The harvest is ripe and ready for reaping.

There's a harvest in unexpected places, fields where you did not sow. Drop some things you brought with you, go your way to do the will of the Father.

It's alright, and all ready!

Leave that waterpot you came with.

God has met you right where you are to fulfill His will and His purpose, and

prepared the fields that you didn't even plant.

Go, and reap the harvest!

 Leave your waterpot

Lift up your head and walk into

your purpose in the

will of God!

Overcoming Loneliness & Understanding The Need For True Christian Fellowship

"OVERCOMING LONELINESS"    < < -  Read THIS Article

I know that as a Christian, my greatest struggle in my spiritual walk towards reaching the goals that God has planned for my life is simply, isolation and loneliness. The attached article about "Overcoming Loneliness" has outlined my circumstance of what often leads me back into "Egypt" where I am bound or held in sinful captivity or worse, looking backwards towards the place or circumstances in my life that God has delivered me from, such as Lot's wife fleeing Sodom and Gomorrah and being frozen in time and in place being prevented from advancing to the promised land. I have struggled alone and realize the impact of loneliness in my life causes me to open the door to return to the dead weight, and layers of situations which I've struggled to shed, yes even returning like the dog to his own vomit. Responding to my dilemma of loneliness I have sought fellowship with my peers in various churches, yet not one has provided the intimate faithful friendship beyond the moments we share in a service together to equip me with the support I need to overcome loneliness. Still I hold on to my faith in God that this too shall pass, a change is coming, and I am ready. Please read the article attached, and know that there are others who need Christian Brothers and Sisters to fellowship with, to call upon, to socialize with, to share with, and to lean on. This walk is very hard, but as Christians we can be the friend that makes a difference to someone else after shaking their hand in a church service and saying "God Bless You, see you next time!" This is what I know, this is what God knows, and now I expect a change because I have asked God to touch the hearts of my Brothers and Sisters in Christ to become the supportive friends and family He created us to be instead of just attending a Church service, departing and forgetting about each other. To God be the Glory!

Christianity is about CHANGE...

Click Picture For SERMON...

God can choose any man to change and to use for his Glory!

Regardless of any previous background or condition,

whether they be Jew or Gentile, even Pagans, Muslims, and sinners against the Faith, when God chooses to direct your destiny to fulfill His Holy will, no man can deny His sovereignty.

God is God.

Remember Saul of Tarsus, later named Paul, was converted to follow Jesus Christ and to lead others in discipleship after he had been guilty of persecuting Christians.

God is all powerful and we must trust Him to judge remembering His ways are NOT like man.
