We need an understanding of how God created us.  God made us 3 parts.  He gave us a spirit, a soul and a body.
1 Thessalonians 5:23 (NKJV)

Last week we went over the importance of knowing that God is a good God, is that He is #1 for us.
Romans 8:31-32 (NKJV) 
31 What then shall we say to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us? 
32 He who did not spare His own Son, but delivered Him up for us all, how shall He not with Him also freely give us all things? 
Just having this attitude as you go through life, will make life 100% better.
Romans 8:31-32 (MSG)

Illustration: An illiterate couple had just been saved. 

They met with a group of believers who dressed alike. 

The men wore red shirts while engaged in a certain project, so the woman made one for her husband. 

He came home after the meeting, however, with a look of disappointment on his face because the others had a message printed on their shirts but he did not. 

His wife, undaunted by her inability to read, sewed three words on his shirt, which she copied from a  .....]]></description>

Have you ever wondered why the church is not growing today?  

Why there seems to be more churches closing, than new ones opening?

Why there are so many Christians that don&amp;amp;#8217;t faithfully attend church?

Why those that attend church regularly seem to be melancholy?

Could it be that the body of Christ is under attack and we are defeated and don&amp;amp;#8217;t even know it?

Let&amp;amp;#8217;s read our scriptures this morning and see if we can answer these questions.

What did I do to make that statement true?  Same thing you can do, there are four phrases that reoccur in the Word of God, &amp;amp;#8220;favor of the Lord,&amp;amp;#8221; &amp;amp;#8220;favor of the Lord,&amp;amp;#8221; &amp;amp;#8220;favor of the Lord,&amp;amp;#8 .....]]></description>

Something you have a tendency to hang onto, even hold close.  It&amp;amp;#8217;s a resistance.  It&amp;amp;#8217;s reluctance.  It&amp;amp;#8217;s a rebellion, and it&amp;amp;#8217;s resentment.  You know you should forgive and forget but you don&amp;amp;#8217;t and you won&amp;amp;#8217;t.  Why?  It&amp;amp;#8217;s because it&amp;amp;#8217;s so easy to hold onto a grudge.

It's not the same way with God. What's that? It appears that He, God, has more respect, easier access, and greater acceptance. I mean, most of us know we can talk about God, but if you talk about Jesus, something happens, and that thing that happens? It' .....]]></description>

VALUED

How does a child feel when he or she is chosen first to be on a team? The child feels valued. Ephesians 1:4 says that believers have been chosen by God. (However, God&amp;amp;#8217;s choosing is not based on merit.)

Those who have been chosen by God are VALUED by God.

It&amp;amp;#8217;s amazing what could happen in a short period of time, isn&amp;amp;#8217;t it?  Two weeks ago, Jesus came into Jerusalem with screams of joy and celebration.  Within the week, the people who cheered for Him, turned on Him and He was crucified.  Then came that terrible Saturday, the day of no hope, a day of total despair, which was replaced with unimaginable joy when the disciples learned Jesus was alive.

The first Easter Sunday was so good because that Saturday had been so bad.  The enemies of Christ were confident they had put an end to this movement.  His work was now a total failure.  On Saturday Christ was in the grave.  His life was over, His tongue had been silenced and the miracles were finished. 

On that Saturday, the only recorded activity was by the Pharisees, the enemies of Christ.  They were no longer concerned with Jesus, but about the disciples .....]]></description>

It&amp;amp;#8217;s getting to be golf season and I&amp;amp;#8217;m ready to get out there and smack that golf ball . . . I hope.  But when you get up at that first hole, my thinking isn&amp;amp;#8217;t very positive.  I want to hit a great drive, but I&amp;amp;#8217;m wondering, why are so many people watching me, and I&amp;amp;#8217;m thinking about my stance and grip and still why are there so many people here.

Most of us really enjoy the routine things in life.  It helps us feel a sense of stability.  And we need to have things in life that aren&amp;amp;#8217;t forever changing, since so much in life is changing around us.  While the routine things are good, too much of the same old routine can get very old, and lead us to feel like we&amp;amp;#8217;re in a rut.  Sometimes we want to break out of that same old routine.  After all, the routine things in life are .....]]></description>

One of the most exciting parts of a football game occurs when one team gets the ball near the other teams goal line.  Then it becomes time for a goal line stand.  The defense digs in to stop the offense, while the offense does everything they can to score that.  Players are lined up helmet to helmet.  Everyone is cheering, it&amp;amp;#8217;s tense, it&amp;amp;#8217;s exciting, it&amp;amp;#8217;s football!!

When you think about words, the word &amp;amp;#8220;DOWN&amp;amp;#8221; doesn&amp;amp;#8217;t have many positive meanings.  It&amp;amp;#8217;s a word reserved for cowards, losers and bear markets.  It&amp;amp;#8217;s a word that is to be avoided or ignored.  When you attach it to other words it brings them down, such as &amp;amp;#8212; down and out, breakdown, down hearted, downfall, downsize, downturn, facedown, downer and rundown, and the only positive was touchdown, and that&amp;amp;#8217;s if it&amp;amp;#82 .....]]></description>

Last week we began to dig into the book of Nehemiah, and we discovered that he was a man that had a heart that cared, knees that bent, a mind that prepared and feet that went. I talked about how those four things need to be kept in a somewhat equal balance for success in any endeavor. For example, prayer without caring won't last, and prayer without preparation won't be effective. The spiritual and the practical needed to be properly balanced, one without the other is lik .....]]></description>

Os Guinness tells us in his book In Two Minds, &amp;amp;#8220;To believe is to be &amp;amp;#8216;in one mind&amp;amp;#8217; about accepting something as true; to disbelieve is to be &amp;amp;#8216;in one mind&amp;amp;#8217; about rejecting it.  To doubt is to waver between the two, to believe and disbelieve at once and so be &amp;amp;#8216;in two minds&amp;amp;#8217;.&amp;amp;#8221;

First things first. More than worshipping God for the blessings, which He pours into our lives, we need to learn to worship Him, JUST FOR WHAT HE IS! Worshipping Him, awed by His unique attributes is noblest form of worship, for it emanates from the depths of the heart with no strings attached.

Water Baptism is not essential for Salvation as it&amp;amp;#8217;s a command to those who are already saved.

Jesus Christ&amp;amp;#8217;s Blood alone saves from sin and one appropriates that Blood Atonement by faith in the Cross alone as Ephesians 2:8-9 clearly state:

&amp;amp;#8220;For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast.&amp;amp;#8221;

My name is Dan Lirette and today I'd like to share my Testimony with you.

I was born on November 2nd, 1976.

From an early age my brother and I would attend a local Evangelical church with my parents, though both of my parents were not saved; my parents were simply Christians in name only, with mom being of the Evangelical brand and dad being of the Roman Catholic brand.

I vaguely recall sitting church and it being boring; I wasn't interested in l .....]]></description>

Well, Beloved, today we&amp;#8217;re going to see what the Bible has to say about Giving.
Dear Saint, the Bible speaks much about sowing and reaping, giving and receiving&amp;#8230;however, there is a right Biblical teaching on this subject and there is an un-Biblical teaching on this subject.

In this article we&amp;#8217;re going to look at several points, from Scripture, on what the Lord says concerning giving.

First, let us look to the Word of God on the Blessings of being a Giver .....]]></description>

I think it&amp;amp;#8217;s important before we begin chapter five to go back and see the first point of the letter. Back in the first part of chapter one James tells the saints to ask God for wisdom if they lack it because He gives liberally and without finding fault.

A man can only count it joy when he goes through all kinds of trials if wisdom teaches him that the end of suffering is patience.

This last chapter sort of sums that up with a final rebuke&amp;amp;#8212;tho .....]]></description>

INTRODUCTION

The beginning of Mark&amp;amp;#8217;s gospel is in stark contrast to those of the other gospel writers. You do not find a boring list of Jesus&amp;amp;#8217; ancestors, as you do in Matthew, nor the heartwarming story of Jesus&amp;amp;#8217; birth of Luke. The theological musings of John&amp;amp;#8217;s first chapter seem oddly out of place when compared to Mark.

According to statistics Christianity is the world&amp;amp;#8217;s largest religion. Christians number 2.1 billion people, or approximately 33% of the world&amp;amp;#8217;s population. I realize that this is probably an exaggerated figure. There are people who identify themselves as followers of Jesus Christ, who haven&amp;amp;#8217;t been to church for years.
