20051120 Joy Of Jesus - Pointing To Perfection - Continuously - Rev. Tommy Jones

Do you know anybody who thinks they are #perfect? Ironically, #Christian maturity comes with a growing realization of our own imperfection. Without knowledge of our flaws, how can we grow? Rather than an excuse to not even try, this should be a call to action. Our road to perfection starts with a decision. What comes next? When we are moving whether it is walking, running, or driving we tend to move in the direction we are looking. Where should our eyes be focused?

The Joy of Jesus – Pointing To Perfection – Conscientiously

20051106 Joy Of Jesus - Pointing To Perfection - Conscientiously - Rev. Tommy Jones

If your faith is in Jesus, you can be joyous everyday despite #viruses, #volcanos, or #locusts. We just celebrated #Easter not because it is #Spring or the #flowers are in bloom, but because #Jesus Christ died on the cross for our sins and then conquered #death for us with His #resurrection. Are Christ followers perfect? Why would Paul address these comments to perfect people when he just said that he himself was not perfect? We cannot do anything to attain salvation, but do we have responsibilities after we have been saved? If we have a role in our growth, does that mean God is hands off? How can we know where we are in our growth in the Lord by looking at Paul’s writings? Was he finished? Have we arrived?

P.S. I jumped out of order in this series but next week we will realign, God willing.

The Joy of Jesus – Available For Calculation – Matter of Profit and Loss – When Loss Becomes Profit 2

20051030 Joy Of Jesus - Available For Calculation - Matter Of Profit & Loss - When Loss Becomes Profit 2 - Rev. Tommy Jones

#Fear, that is the message the world is bombarding us with daily. And yet, the Bible tells us do not be afraid. Why? Because #God has a plan which involved sending His son to us to die for our sins and we only have to trust and obey to be saved. When the disciples were in the midst of a storm in the book of John chapter 6, Jesus calmly walked to them on the water, no less, and said “it is I, do not be afraid.” If you will put your faith in Christ, He will do the same for you. Then you can have the joy of Jesus that Paul talks about in Philippians. Brother Tommy aptly describes the salvation experience as a crisis followed by a process. If Paul was not through with the process of being improved, where do we stand? Is there joy in striving to attain the goal of perfection? What is the one thing we need to know? Paul often likened the Christian life to a race. What happens when the runner doesn’t know where the finish line is? How about if that runner is constantly worried about previous hurdles and looking back? What do we know about the prize for this race?

This should have posted last week.

Okay, let’s go back to the beginning of this series on the book of Philippians by Brother Tommy. What is #joy? How does it differ from #happiness? From where does true joy come? Jesus was perfect and therefor had perfect joy. What were Paul’s circumstances when he wrote this book to the church at Philippi? How does proper joy produce triumph in all situations? Once we agree that we need it, how do we receive the joy of Jesus? What are the risks and rewards of obtaining it? Where does our citizenship lie, and why does that make a difference? What are the benefits of this Heavenly joy?
