EP 123: How Should We Give? (Matthew 6:1-4 – Sermon on the Mount Series)

by Marci Ferrell
Christian Living Encouragement Podcast Sermon on the Mount Theology

When we grasp our relationship with God as our Father and rest securely in His care and love, it will change what we do and why we do it.

When we grasp our relationship with God as our Father and rest securely in His care and love, it will change what we do and why we do it. We will not be looking for the approval of men but only of God, and there is where we receive the greatest reward that isn't lost because it is done out of love for our Father in Heaven, and He has seen it, and He will reward us. Matthew 6:1-4:"Beware of practicing your righteousness before other people in order to be seen by them, for then you will have ... continue reading...

EP 122: Love Your Enemies (Matthew 5:43-48 – Sermon on the Mount Series)

by Marci Ferrell
Bible Study Christian Living Podcast Sermon on the Mount Theology

We are to be imitators of Jesus who is God incarnate. And we are to reflect his image to a lost and dying world. One way we do that is by loving our enemies. @thankfulhomemaker

Our God has created us in His image and this image is stamped on every human being whether they are a child of God or not. But now as those who have come to be known by God through repentance of our sins and faith and trust in Jesus Christ alone for our salvation—we are now called to live in such a way as to mirror and reflect the character of God. We are to be imitators of Jesus who is God incarnate. And we are to reflect his image to a lost and dying world. And one way we do that is by ... continue reading...

Questions to Examine Yourself to See if You are in the Faith (2 Corinthians 13:5)

by Marci Ferrell
Christian Living Encouragement Evangelism Mentoring Prayer Spiritual Discipleship

It is possible to profess faith in Christ and still be unsaved. Paul exhorts us in 2 Corinthians 13:5 to examine ourselves because the outcome of real faith will show that Christ is indwelling in us by the Holy Spirit and it will result in godly lives that desire to be obedient to the Word of God. @thankfulhomemaker

  We know that going in for a yearly physical, especially as we age is a good thing. It can catch early symptoms of a health issue before it becomes a problem. Even more important than a physical check-up is a spiritual check-up. It determines the matter of where we spend eternity. It's one of the most important examinations we will ever take. Examine yourselves, to see whether you are in the faith. Test yourselves. Or do you not realize this about yourselves, that Jesus Christ is in ... continue reading...

He expects us to work, just as the designer of a precision instrument if he understands the principles involved and designs it accordingly, expects the thing to work.
