    based on 54 ratings
     | 6,793 views

    You don’t need to have everything going your way to be happy.

    INTRODUCTION ILLUSTRATION I came across of these lines from a song from the musical “Oklahoma,” -- Oh what a beautiful morning, oh what a beautiful day; I’ve got a wonderful feeling, everything’s going my way. A lot people today tend to regard happiness in that light. “When everything’s going my ...read more

    The second church Jesus instructed John to pen a letter was the church in Smyrna. It was situated within a city of great wealth and affluence, and yet many believers lived in poverty. They were not rich by the world's standards, but they were rich in grace.

    Smyrna: Riches within Poverty Revelation 2: 8-11 Today we come to Smyrna, the second church within the series of letters John was instructed to write in the Revelation. It is interesting to note, that of the seven churches, only two received all praise and encouragement from the Lord, with no ...read more

    Part 6 of the Sermon Series, "Rich Man Poor Man in Proverbs"

    "The poor use entreaties, but the rich answer roughly" (Prov. 18:23). Proverbs tells about the unfair disadvantages of the poor and the advantages of the rich (Prov. 18:23-19:7). Let us study the plight of the poor first, and then the rich in the following antithetical saying. "The poor use ...read more

    The Poverty That Enriches

    No sensible person enjoys being poor. None of us would strive for actual “poverty status” in life. Jesus is referring to another kind of "poverty", one that enriches.

    THE POVERTY THAT ENRICHES “Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.” Matthew 5:3. No sensible person enjoys being poor. None of us would strive for actual “poverty status” in life. In our text, our Lord is not extolling the benefits of being economically poor. He ...read more

    In an era when the contrast between the rich and the poor is most pronounced–our own time–like Francis, we are all called to follow the example of Christ in simplicity and poverty.

    Tuesday of the 4th Week in Lent 2019 San Francisco di Paola One of the dominant themes of both the OT and the NT stories is what we have to look forward to in the kingdom of God. God’s kingdom, when we are confirmed as its citizens after our life on this earth, is a reign of plenty, a restoration ...read more

    Understanding Wealth

    We need to understand what wealth is. As we approach the greatest endtime harvest, we can expect God to bless His church with great wealth to complete the Great Commission. Let us look at some wrong attitudes, right attitudes and the purpose of wealth.

    Introduction: As we approach the end of the age and the greatest harvest of souls ever witnessed, the Lord is going to bless His church to fulfill the Great Commission. Like the children of Israel coming out of Egypt there will be a great endtime wealth transfer to the Body of Christ. Hence, we ...read more

    As we continue our series on the Sermon on the Mount, we dive into the descriptions of a Christian’s character as defined by Christ in the Beatitudes. "Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven."

    For the next three weeks we are back to our in depth study and look at the Sermon on the Mount. If you have accepted the challenge to do some scripture memory as a part of this journey together, then you would be up to Matthew 5, verse 3. And depending on your translation, you will have memorized ...read more

    The two things that break God’s heart are people in need and people in greed. God’s people must be those who minister to those in need and never tainted by greed.

    1. Review and Overview a. We have been talking about letting God turn us inside out and change the focus of our lives from being self-centered, self-interested, and self-absorbed to that of a God centered, Kingdom minded, outward focused people of God. b. This transformation will not come about as ...read more

    Complacency with our own spiritual condition will rob us of what God really wants to perform as far as blessing and anointing.

    Being financially secure, being well educated, having the respect and admiration of your neighbors, none of those get you credit in God’s kingdom. We’re all charity cases there.

    Are you happy? If not, what would it take to make you happy? For most people, happiness seems to have something to do with our circumstances. In our youth-obsessed culture, perhaps we feel we have to look backward to imagine happiness. “What is happiness?” and “How can I get happiness?” are two ...read more
