      20001224 Christmas Time - Rev. Tommy Jones

 

Does #Christmas sneak up on you, or does it take forever to come around?  It probably depends on your age.  But whatever age you are, it can be a wonderful time.  Why do you think God sent His son when He did, not sooner or later?  Any birth is a cause for celebration, but how much more exciting is the birth that split time into before and after?  The birth of Jesus Christ also fulfilled 333 prophecies in the Old Testament.  How did the birth of Jesus bring joy and peace to this world?  How about hope and love?  God came down to Earth to restore a personal relationship with us, will you accept His gift?

Christ Is The Answer – Remember What You Have

      20000430 Christ Is The Answer - Remember What You Have - Rev. Tommy Jones

 

#Christians have something #nobody can take away.  No #lockdown, #election, or new #law can pluck us from His hand.  God gives #grace and #peace to His believers.  What does that mean?  Is there anything else that comes from following Jesus?  Does everybody get the same gifts in the same amounts?  What is the relationship between gifts and spiritual maturity?  What does it mean to be in fellowship with Jesus Christ?  Is there a difference between imitation and participation?  Christians also have something to which they look forward.

The Message of Christmas

Bible Audio Blog
      20071125 The Message Of Christmas - Rev. Tommy Jones

 

This month, we are going to break from our series on Mosaics of the Master and focus on the message of #Christmas.  Everybody gets excited about Christmas this time of year, but if it is for the wrong reason there can be a big let down when it is all over.  Here, Brother Tommy focuses on the message given to Mary about the miraculous baby she is to birth.  Did Mary do anything special to be chosen to deliver the Savior of the World?  Are Christ followers saved by anything that they have done?  Have you ever received a gift greater than you deserved?  How does a perfect God reconcile sinful man?  What is grace?  How does it lead to peace with God and with others?

The Joy of Jesus – Serenity In Your Contemplation – Lessons For Learning – About Encouragement

      20060521 Joy Of Jesus - Serenity In Your Contemplation - Lessons For Learning - About Encouragement - Rev. Tommy Jones

 

Do you need #encouragement today?  Who doesn’t?  If you watch the #news, the spotlight is on #politics, #race, #protests, #riots, and #virus.  But if you know #Jesus as your Lord and Savior, there is a bigger picture.  Paul was telling the Philippians the same thing thousands of years ago.  How can we receive a peace that passes all understanding?  What does gratefulness have to do with our mood?  If you don’t know where to start, let me share with you something I heard in a sermon that has stuck with me.  Our prayers should begin with thanksgiving to the Lord.  What if tomorrow you woke up and only had left what you thanked God for yesterday?  Time is short and windows of opportunity do not stay open long.  What should we do about that?

The Joy of Jesus – Triumphant Suffering – Of An Internal Nature – Courteously

Bible Audio Blog
      20050605 Triumphant Suffering - Of An Internal Nature - Courteously - Rev. Tommy Jones

 

These days we are told that #suffering is to be avoided.  As if we needed to be told to avoid suffering.  Our human nature actually learns at a very young age which actions lead to pain and how to keep from getting hurt.  But, Paul showed us through his writings how to turn our problems into opportunities for triumphant joy.  What circumstance did Paul find himself in while writing to the church at Philippi?  Who was Timothy and why was he mentioned?  What is the significance of calling themselves servants?  Are there positives to being a bond slave to Jesus Christ?  What term did Paul use to describe the Christians at this church?  What is the importance of the qualifier ‘in Christ’?  Where was Philippi located and what was its strategic importance to the spreading of the Gospel?  How did Paul greet the diverse audience of this letter in an inclusive manner?  Why is the order of his words important?

His Internal Ministry- The Pertinence of the Holy Spirit – Growing Inward Graces

      19750223 His Internal Ministry - The Pertinence Of The Holy Spirit - Growing Inward Graces - Rev. Tommy Jones

 

What is the difference between #gifts of the Spirit and #graces or #fruit of the Spirit?  And why is it fruit and not fruits?  What do the first three graces have in common in terms of character?  Why does Paul list off a laundry list of obnoxious works of the flesh right before he lists off the fruit of the Spirit?  What is counterfeit fruit and from where does it come?  Ahh, love – who doesn’t want that?  What is its opposite work of the flesh?  How does Satan confuse us with its counterfeit?  What does the real fruit look like?  What about joy and peace?

How to Know the Will of God

      19880522 How To Know The Will Of God - Rev. Tommy Jones

 

Is it important for us to know God’s will?  Have you ever wondered #why you are here or if there is a #purpose to your life?  If you want to know why you were created, why not ask the Creator?  God promises success if we follow His plan for our life.  But, who defines what success looks like?  Does God lay out His plans for us all at once?  Is there any risk involved in turning control over to God?  What is our role in finding out God’s will?  When is the right time to start following it?  What must happen first?  What are the next steps for finding the will of God?  Will the will of God ever contradict the Word of God?  Do our feelings or common sense ever play a part in finding God’s will?  How about the advice of other Christ followers?  What part does peace play in this process?

Holy Spirit as Dove

      19840304pm Holy Spirit As Dove - Rev. Tommy Jones

 

Who is the #HolySpirit?  Probably the least discussed and possibly the least understood part of the #Triune #God.  Today, we start a series of messages looking at references to the Holy Spirit and what we can learn from them.  What is the first mention of the Holy Spirit in the Bible?  Was it in the New Testament or the Old Testament?  When did the Spirit of God appear as a dove?  Was it more than once?  Why would God’s Spirit choose to appear as a dove?  What are the parallels?
