20001119 Christmas Meaning - Rev. Tommy Jones

As we begin the #Advent season, counting down the days until #Christmas, let’s take a closer look at the meaning behind this worldwide holiday. Is it about presents or parties? Well, without God’s gift of His Son to this world as payment for our wrongdoings none of this would be happening. Brother Tommy uses Hebrews 2 to give us the full weight of the importance of this incredible event in history. What can we learn about the God-man who came about this time of year? Why was He born to die? How did Jesus destroy the accuser? How does He conquer the tempter? What do we mean when we say that Christ has defeated sin? Where does that leave us in regards to our relationship with God? So who got delivered by this miraculous Christmas arrival?

Thanksgiving Through Thanksliving

19971123 Thanksgiving Through Thanksliving - Rev. Tommy Jones

The book of #Psalms is full of examples and exhortations of giving #thanks to the #Lord. Here in #America, we have a national holiday dedicated to #Thanksgiving. But it is a biblical practice for all Christians around the world. I was reading Psalm 100 today and verses 4 and 5 say, “Enter His gates with thanksgiving, and His courts with praise! Give thanks to Him; bless His name! For the Lord is good; His steadfast love endures forever, and His faithfulness to all generations.”

Brother Tommy is focusing today on Psalm 116. What are four ways listed in the Psalm that we can use to offer up thanksgiving to the Lord? How can we show our thanks to the Lord beyond lip service? How often should we show our gratefulness? Even on a rough day, we can find something for which to be thankful. Why would God command this and how is it for our good? If you proclaim your thankfulness but live like you have been slighted or wronged, are you truly thanksliving?

A Religion of Remnants

20001112 A Religion Of Remnants - Rev. Tommy Jones

This week, we are going to look at our #worship. Who do we worship? Is it worthy worship? Do we worship #creation rather than the #creator? The Bible says that where we spend our time and money that is where our heart lies. When we do recognize God with our time and money, are we giving our best or the remnants? What is the biblical principle of first fruits?

We are taking a 6 week break from our Christ is the Answer series until the new year.

Christ Is The Answer – Realization In Worship

20010128 Christ Is The Answer - Realization In Worship - Rev. Tommy Jones

Have you ever known somebody who was all #feet, or more #brawn than #brains? We value #balance in individuals and the same goes for #Christ and His church. Can you be a member of THE church without a personal relationship with Jesus? When does the baptism of the Spirit occur? Have you ever gotten a small cut or scrape on an out of the way body part and been shocked by how many times you feel it throughout the day? There are no unimportant parts of the body and there are no unimportant roles in the church. Is it easier to comfort or congratulate? Paul gives a list of spiritual gifts to the Corinthians and rebalanced the weight and frequency of each one.

20010121 Christ Is The Answer - Resources In Worship - Rev. Tommy Jones

If trusting in #Jesus #Christ as your #Lord and #Savior only bestowed #eternal life on the #Believer that would be more than enough to make it worth our decision. But God did not stop there. He has bestowed every one of the Faithful with one nor more spiritual gifts. Are spiritual gifts the same as spiritual fruit? What are these gifts and can anybody have more than one? Only the Holy Spirit enables a person to say that Jesus is Lord. What will the true Christian never say? What role do each of the three figures of the Godhead play in the function of these gifts? For what purpose are we given these gifts? Later Paul will give a full list of the spiritual gifts, but here he lists the ones the Corinthians were struggling to handle. Why are some gifts less evident today? The gifts Paul covers in this passage are wisdom, faith, healing, miracles, prophecy, discernment, and the speaking and interpretation of tongues.

How should a #Christian #celebrate the Lord’s Supper? Are there things to keep in mind when we partake of this sacrament? How often should a church come together for the Lord’s Supper?

How should we prepare for this ordinance? Does God punish or chasten His people? What is the difference and what is the proper response? What is the message we send by properly partaking of the Lord’s Supper?

Christ Is The Answer – Reverence In Worship

20010107 Christ Is The Answer - Reverence In Worship - Rev. Tommy Jones

When Paul wrote Corinthians was he being a #mysogynist? Do you think it was easier for the men to hear that they were to submit to #God in everything? Consider the atmosphere in Corinth at the time. How were the prostitutes recognized at that time? Many people seize on the headship of man over woman in this passage but there are three headships mentioned here. What happens to the image of God when we fail to recognize His headship? Did Christ recognize God’s authority over Him even though He was part of the Trinity? What is the difference between reverence and practice when it comes to this message of purity? How are men cautioned about authority? Reverential worship requires inward purity and outward modesty to participate.

Christ Is The Answer – The Discipline of Dedication

20001029 Christ Is The Answer - The Discipline Of Dedication - Rev. Tommy Jones

What should a #Christian do about personal #behavior that they have #questions about but is not explicitly denounced in the #Bible? Are we willing to set certain activities aside for the glory of God and the good of others? God offers us guidance, deliverance, assurance, and sustenance. How are these provisions meant to offset the temptations we face? What examples can we see in the wandering Israelites that parallel the struggles we face? What is the danger of believing that we are in good standing? 1 Corinthians 10:13 is the ultimate verse to help us with temptation.
