20010304 Christ Is The Answer - Evaluation Of Spiritual Gifts - Rev. Tommy Jones

What is a #SpiritualGift? When a person becomes a follower of #Jesus Christ, the Holy Spirit enters that person and amplifies or bestows a talent for the Believer to use to glorify God. All gifts have a purpose but are they all equal? The church at Corinth had become fascinated with one particular gift and in this passage Paul had to help them restore the balance. Why is the gift of prophecy better than the gift of speaking in tongues? Is prophecy only about the future? How does prophecy build up the Church and evangelize the lost? Paul gave serious warnings about the gift of speaking in tongues and when it should not be used. Seek the giver not the gift.

20060702 Joy Of Jesus - Serenity In Your Contemplation - Grounds For Greeting - In The Present - Rev. Tommy Jones

Have you ever heard of the #Doxology? Praise #God from whom all #blessings flow! Last time, we learned that God provides all His children’s needs. This week we hear what our proper response should be. It even ties back to Paul’s theme in Philippians about the Joy of Jesus. Joy in our lives comes from knowing our purpose. Why are we here if not to glorify God? Have you ever tried counting your blessings when you are feeling down? It helps and you should take it further and thank the one who gave you those blessings. How do we glorify God? Does all the glory belong to God? Why is it important to practice giving glory to God now?

20050717 Triumphant Suffering - Of An External Nature - Geared Through Glorification - Rev. Tommy Jones

Currently, we are suffering through threats of #CoronaVirus, #Locust outbreaks, and extreme meteorological and geological events. A few of us may be experiencing #Christian #persecution, with which Paul was very familiar. He wrote in Philippians that he was prepared to go to his reward or to stay with the Christians. In either instance, he wanted God to get the glory. For what did Paul ask his fellow believers? How much did Paul wish to magnify Christ? When Christ increases in your life, who or what decreases? Have you ever seen a legally blind person use a magnifying glass to read what was clear and obvious to others? How did Paul’s walk with Jesus color his view of life and death? What do you live for, what makes you come alive?
