20000813 Christ Is The Answer - A Passage That Punctures Pride - Rev. Tommy Jones

#Pride is everywhere today, celebrated by the World. But what does the #Bible say about pride? Pride was the original sin. Have we learned our lesson yet? How can we puncture pride by looking at ourselves in the mirror of the Word? How self confident should we be of gifts we have received from God? What is it about pride that makes us slow down before the race is over? We love to compare ourselves to others, but rarely do we compare ourselves to the apostles. Listen for a special note on political correctness. What are we willing to put aside for the Kingdom of God? One more test of pride is how do you retaliate when wronged?

Christ Is The Answer – The Glory Of The Shame

20000528 Christ Is The Answer - The Glory Of The Shame - Rev. Tommy Jones

#Pride is celebrated today. The #Bible says that pride goes before a fall. #Jesus Christ came not as a rich educated ruler, but as a humble, poor migrant. And yet, what the World finds shameful, the believer finds glorious. Do the worldly wise look for the messiah? What need do the rich or ruling class have for the savior? It is not impossible, but Paul says that not many of them will be saved. Did God have a reason to use a simple method of salvation to save the Chosen? To whom does the glory belong?

The Joy of Jesus – Triumphant Serving – As Exemplified – Through Exaltation

Last week, I skipped ahead in this series on Philippians. Whether by accident or providence, today we go back to chapter two. How could #Jesus Christ be fully #God and fully #man? What is the #contradiction that this shows in our usual model of achieving power? Many people expected the Savior to be a conqueror, and He will be in the future, but His first mission on Earth was to be a servant and a sacrifice. In the end, every knee will bow to the Lord. What does Paul mean by above the Earth, on the Earth, and under the Earth? From the most apathetic hedonist to the most humble Christ follower and from the most ardent atheist to the most televised preacher and everyone in between, every tongue will confess what? Will they all do it happily? Does glory to Jesus take away glory from God?

The Joy of Jesus – Triumphant Serving – As Exemplified – Through Humiliation

Have you ever had a #boss who would stop what they were doing to accomplish one of the many things they asked you to do? It is at first, embarrassing. But, then you catch on to what their priorities are. And, if you are wise, you make it your priority. How much more so, should we copy Jesus Christ, being God and coming down to our level and showing us what to do? Those of us who are in Christ, should constantly strive to be more like our Lord and Savior. That means humbling ourselves and serving others. Where and who was Jesus before He came here? Why and how did Christ come down to us? Jesus Christ was perfectly obedient His whole life. To where did that obedience lead?

Study In A Stable – Jesus

Whether you say #HappyHolidays or #MerryChristmas, whether you support #Antifa or #Brexit, God sent Hs son, Jesus to save you. The New Testament of the Bible begins with the birth of Jesus, but did you know that His birth fulfilled over 300 prophecies in the Old Testament about the Savior? Can we really say that we would have been smarter than the Jewish scholars that didn’t recognize their long awaited King when he was born into such lowly beginnings? We all start as a humble sinless child just like Jesus did, but do we stay that way? Did Jesus? We are born innocent and trusting. What happens to that as we grow up? Babies don’t worry about the future or the past, they are all about the now. What did Jesus tell us about that attitude?

Word of Condescension

19840122 Word Of Condescension - Rev. Tommy Jones

In this #ego driven world, everyone is struggling to be #NumberOne, to have others serve them. But what example did our Lord give us during the last week before His crucifixion and resurrection? What significance did the Lord’s Supper and its timing have? Few things make me feel worse than seeing someone i love and respect do something for me that i should have done for them. Imagine how the disciples felt when they were busy discussing their right hand status and the Lord knelt at their feet. What was the significance of the washing of the disciple’ feet? What must have gone through Judas’ mind when this happened?
