19860629 The Devil Didn't Make You Do It - Rev. Tommy Jones

When you see #evil in the world, such as we have seen with #terrorists shooting and blowing up people for no good reason, do you think the #Devil made them do it? In your own life, have you ever looked back on your actions and blamed the devil for what you did? What part does temptation play? Is temptation inevitable? How about irresistible? What is covered by the the Lust of the Flesh, Lust of the Eyes, and the Pride of Life? How can something given to us for our good be used to do wrong? When do our wants and desires turn into sin? What is wrong with seeking love and acceptance from others? What does that leave for a Christ follower to do, have, and be?

A Miracle With A Message

19820725 A Miracle With A Message - Rev. Tommy Jones

Imagine throwing a #wedding feast and running out of supplies for the guests, or what if that had happened during your #Thanksgiving dinner or at your upcoming #Christmas party. Jesus Christ saved the day with a miracle, but what else can we glean from this story? Who saw the wasted potential of the empty water pots? What happens to empty people that don’t fill up on the Lord? How fortunate were these people to have invited Jesus to their wedding? Can you see Him crashing a party? No, that is somebody else’s modus operandi. What was different about the wine Jesus made from the wine served earlier in the feast? Why is that important for our everyday lives?

Looking For Leaders

19810531 Looking For Leaders - Rev. Tommy Jones

Whether you and your organization are trying to decide amongst #Trump, #Carson, #Cruz, #Clinton and #Sanders or you’re looking for a local leader for your #business, #school, or #church, what should you look for in a leader? What is the first step and what does it have to do with a mirror? What does leadership have to do with lordship? What limits how far a leader can go or how much a teacher can teach? Would you agree that loyalty is important to leadership? And if so, to whom? How about hard work? Is that important in a leader? I once had a boss that worked so hard that everyone under him tried extra hard to get things done before he noticed them. Much thanks to a great Christian boss, Ben Creasman.

Speaking of thanks, thanks be to God from whom all blessings flow. May you and your family have a wonderful Thanksgiving!

The Great God We Worship

19830710pm The Great God We Worship - Rev. Tommy Jones

With the rumblings of #ISIS and mentions of #WWIII flying around the #media, we need to remind ourselves who is in charge. Has God lost control of this world? What does the Bible say about other religions that try to claim their god is greater than the one true God? Is God surprised by what is going on today? The other day I was struck by the fact that when we focus the Hubble Space Telescope at a seemingly empty spot in the night sky, it finds billions of galaxies with billions of stars in each galaxy. And God not only knows how many are out there, but the name of each star. Do you think He cares less about the finite number of humans on this planet? Okay, God knows everything, but is He powerful enough to do something about it? How much restraint must an all knowing, all powerful God possess to not force everyone to act in everyone else’s best interest?

Characteristics From Characters

19820124pm Characteristics From Characters - Rev. Tommy Jones

A good book usually has strong #character development. It may even employ the tool of #foreshadowing and #symbolism. Well the greatest book ever written, the #Bible, is no exception. What are we to recognize of ourselves in Adam? What does Abel represent? Who was Enoch and what can we learn from him? What did Noah and his boat symbolize? What about Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, and Joseph? What do they show us about our walk with God? When you put these eight characters together, what does it show us about the way we are to live?

Why Study The Bible?

19880529pm Why Study The Bible - Rev. Tommy Jones

Is the #Bible in your house well used? Is it a #history book or even just a work of #fanfiction? What other book has as much about life and beyond? Why is it referred to as the Word of God? How did the Bible come to be? How did the contributors know when it was finished? Does the Bible contain information for saving our eternal soul? What about daily living in the meantime? As Barbara says,’ the meantime can be a mean time.’ What is the problem with ignoring the Bible after a salvation experience? What is the difference between sins of commission and omission, and how does the Bible handle both? How is the Bible the ultimate instruction book for Life?

Kiss Of Death

19860316pm Kiss of Death - Rev. Tommy Jones

What’s in a name? How many people or places do you know named after #Judas? That name has become synonymous with #betrayal and #hypocrisy. What kind of person does what he did? How was he perceived? Who did he hang out with? Why was everyone so surprised at his actions? Was Jesus tricked? What lessons can we learn form a deceiver in the midst of the disciples? What is the warning for ‘religious’ people? Did Judas have salvation and then lose it? How can you be sure that you don’t get marked with the kiss of death?

How To Avoid Grieving The Holy Spirit

Posted on October 19, 2015 by Jeff Jones

19860302pm How To Be Filled With The Holy Spirit - Rev. Tommy Jones

Who is the #HolySpirit? How do we avoid grieving the Holy Spirit? What does that tell us about the Holy Spirit that we can grieve Him? What part of our #body tends to give the Holy Spirit the most grievance? Hint: it is as sharp as a two edged sword. Surprise, the Bible tells believers to get angry. But, what kind of angry? What is meant by sexual immorality and uncleanness? What does ’separated living’ mean?

Editor’s note: I took the liberty of changing this message title from the original ‘How To Be Filled With The Holy Spirit,’ because I felt this subject was more fully addressed in other offerings.
