The first Christians were led and instructed by the apostles. These men were inspired by the Holy Spirit who guided them “into all truth” (John 16:13). Thus, Christians in modern times ought to look back on what the apostles taught at the beginning of the church age in order to replicate true Christianity. However, there are a number of elements from the ancient faith which have not been restored in many congregations. Evangelist Shahe Gergian examines three examples where more work needs to be done.
Many people want to know what God has in store for their life. In this motivating sermon from evangelist Frank Brancato, we are reminded that God indeed has a purpose for us. The apostle Paul reminded the Corinthians to “glorify God in your body and in your spirit, which are God’s” (1 Corinthians 6:20), and we too should seek opportunities to bring glory to our God.
In the Sermon on the Mount, the Lord Jesus famously said, “Judge not, that you be not judged” (Matthew 7:1). This statement, taken totally out of context, has been used by some to allege that Christians are never allowed to make any type of judgement. Evangelist David Griffin guides us through the teaching of Jesus and His apostles on this sensitive topic.
The Lord expects His people to be busy in His service. Christians are the medium through which Jesus is seen in the world and that means there is much that depends on the individual effort of believers. Evangelist Jimmy Cating reminds us of our responsibilities as workers for Christ.
God has blessed His creation with time and opportunity. How we use that time is up to us. Sadly, many squander the precious moments we have on this earth, but as Evangelist Jonathan Bunner reminds us, time is a gift we need to take more seriously.
