Pastor Gray expounds on the Beatitudes of Matthew 5.
Consider these 3 questions:
1. When you stand before the Lord, what will your answer be?
2. What are you going to say to Him?
3. What are you going to do when Jesus calls you home?
The Beatitudes (Matt. 5 – 7) are the character, attributes, and virtue of Jesus. They are our blueprint for living.
Does your life reflect these characteristics?
Pastor Gray looks at John 3:3, you must be born again to see the kingdom of God.
To be born again means to be born from above. Further, he said we must be born of water and the Spirit to enter the kingdom of God. Many see the kingdom but have failed to enter in.
Have you entered?
Do you have a kingdom relationship with Christ?
Pastor Gray examines Ephesians 4:30–32, 5:1–2 as he makes a metaphorical comparison to repairs needed on Hosanna Christian School.
When we accept Christ as our Savior, we are sealed by the Holy Spirit. That is, we are marked with a seal that shows who we belong to. The devil doesn’t want believers to know that position in Christ. But we are in Christ, hidden with Christ, and Christ is in us.
But do we have bitterness, wrath, or anger within us?
Allow the Holy Spirit to cleanse you and repair the leaks in your roof.
Pastor Gray exhorts us to be ready for Christ’s return.
He examines the Rapture and events of the End Times. While we do not know the exact hour, we can still be prepared and not be caught unaware when Christ returns.
Are you watching for it?
Pastor continues his journey through Romans 8 by discussing the benefits we have in our salvation.
Our salvation comes with many benefits, but if we don’t know them, we can’t walk in them. Coming boldly before God’s throne, our own prayer language, and healing are just a few.
Listen in as Pastor Gray outlines what they are and leads us in prayer to claim our healing.
Pastor Bill Grace preaches on being diligent to do what Jesus instructed us to do in His absence.
To be diligent means to be urgent, to give maximum effort, give it everything you’ve got.
Jesus exhorted us to teach all the nations, baptize, and make disciples. But are we doing that?
Listen is as Pastor Grace encourages us to live with intentionality as the Lord’s return draws near.
Pastor Gray continues his series on Romans 8, covering verses 26 through 31.
The Holy Spirit is continually making intercession for us according to the will of God. Likewise, Hebrews 7:25 tells us Jesus lives to make intercession for us.
God foreknew us and has a predestined plan for us. But He has much more. Our salvation comes with many benefits.
Do you know what those benefits are?
Listen in for more.
Pastor Gray examines the gospel of the kingdom, the sabbath rest of God, and enduring hard times.
Jesus is the sabbath rest of God, and when He lives within us as believers, we enter into that rest of God. Are you living in His rest?
How does that rest impact us during hard times? Listen in to learn more.
Pastor Gray continues his series on Romans 8 by looking at the the better covenant Jesus established.
Many born again believers try to live by the Old Testament Law, but Jesus established a better covenant.
There is power in
Jesus made the way for us to leave our sins behind. When we choose to accept Him we become children of God and joint-heirs with Christ.
Are you living a life that shows that reality?
Pastor Gray continues his sermon on Romans 8:4-11 about walking according to the flesh or according to the Spirit.
If your mind is set on the things of the earth, you will seek earthly pleasures. But if your mind is set on the Spirit, you seek the things of the Spirit. When Christ dwells within you, you don’t want to sin. But if you do, we have an advocate, that is, Christ Jesus.
Walking in the Spirit is not about living a perfect life. It’s about being led by the Spirit as you walk.
