Our Sabbath Rest - Pt 2 Friday, October 16, 2009
The fear of hell is not a good way to motivate people. But there's another extreme—to allow any and all immoral behavior because we're under grace. Today on Life Lessons Pastor Steve concludes his message, "Our Sabbath Rest," and shares how the love of God literally compels him to care for the needs of others and to bring people with him to heaven. If you've based your salvation on works, or if you've gone back to a works-based religion, be sure to stick around.

I think it's pretty safe to say we all want God's will. But are we patient and trusting enough to wait for His perfect will? Or do we push our own agenda and get His permissive will? There's a huge difference between the two! Today on Life Lessons, Pastor Steve shows us the difference between God's permissive will and His Perfect will.

Thanksgiving's just around the corner. What if you're not feeling thankful? What if it's been a tough year? Today's message on Life Lessons might be the solution if you're running low on thankful feelings. The solution is found in one word—contentment. Pastor Steve tells us what it is and how to get it. It's a great message to get you truly "ready" for Thanksgiving.
The holiday season is upon us and that means lots of family gatherings. For many this stirs up mixed emotions—emotions we thought we had dealt with but always return this time of year. If this is you, don't loose hope. Without exception, God wants to transform your family gatherings. You just might be surprised at how He goes about it!
Many of us approach the holiday season with mixed feelings. We hope for warm, loving family gatherings full of good food and good fellowship. But then we remember that in reality, our gatherings are not so happy and not so fulfilling. Is your family a lost cause? Or is there a way you can make a difference? Join Pastor Steve on Life lessons as he shows us a way in his message "Transforming Family Gatherings."
Can you imagine where you'd be without God in your life? That's exactly what God revealed to self-reliant King Nebuchadnezzar...and it wasn't a pretty picture! Stay with us on Life Lessons as Pastor Steve takes us to the book of Daniel and shows where an ungrateful heart can lead. With Thanksgiving just around the corner this is a great reminder to slow down and make the time to give credit where credit is due.
Today on Life Lessons, Pastor Steve begins a new series entitled "Thanksgiving's More Than a Speed Bump on the Way to Christmas." If you're in need of a better way to prepare for the busy season ahead of us you won't want to miss this series.
There is a huge difference between the old covenant and the new covenant, between the law of Moses and the "change of law" spoken of in the book of Hebrews. If you are complacent, confused or even just curious as to what that could be, stay tuned for Pastor Steve’s message, "A Change of Law.' This is one of those messages that gives us an understanding of God’s salvation plan seen throughout the history of mankind. You’ll also be given an opportunity to make an important choice.
For the past few days Pastor Steve has been giving us a clear, biblical look at what the Old Testament law is all about and how we, as people of the New Covenant, are to respond to it. There is the danger of trusting in our own adherence to the law as our ticket to heaven, i.e. legalism. But there's also the danger of throwing the entire law away and living wild and crazy lives. Today on Life Lessons he'll address the latter issue and answer the question, "What is it that keeps us from going off the deep end in the name of freedom?" Get ready for a balanced, encouraging message that explains what happens to our innermost being when we are given new life in Christ.
Have you ever struggled to understand your relationship to the Old Testament laws? Which, if any of them, are New Testament, new covenant believers to follow? Today Pastor Steve continues to clarify why God sent the law in the first place and how Jesus Christ has changed our relationship to it. Knowing the answer to these questions will protect us from swinging too far towards legalism or too far towards lawlessness.
If someone were to ask you why God sent the Law of Moses how would you answer? And how should a Christian today relate to that Law? Well, I would hazard a guess that some of our answers would tend to lean towards legalism, some of our answers would lean towards lawlessness and some of us would just shrug our shoulders with a befuddled look on our face. In his message, "A Change of Law,' Pastor Steve explains what Hebrews 7:12 means when the author refers to this "change of law." It's a message where you will get one of those "aha' moments as it gives clear biblical answers to tough and at times divisive questions.
If you don't know much about the Old Testament the book of Hebrews probably goes right over your head. Unfortunately when this happens you miss out on the richness of the wonderful truths found in this profound book. Today on Life Lessons Pastor Steve compares the new covenant to the old covenant in a clear, understandable way that will make sense of the amazing sacrifice of Jesus. And we'll gain a broader understanding of the wonderful benefits—the "better promises"— followers of our Great High Priest receive that are part of the new covenant!
Do you trust packaging that claims its contents are new and improved? In his message, "Better Promises," Pastor Steve explains what the new covenant in Christ is all about…a covenant that truly is new and improved, trust me! But if you’re still leery be sure to stay tuned to Life Lessons for Pastor Steve's message, "Better Promises," a message that clearly explains the difference between the old covenant and the new covenant.
Hope doesn't just happen; we must choose to be hopeful. On Life Lessons today, as Pastor Steve concludes his message, "Living With Hope," we'll learn how to hang on to the hope God has given us in Jesus Christ for the rest of our lives. Get ready to gain perspective, God’s perspective, as we better understand this multi-faceted gem called hope.
For Christians hope is more than just wishful thinking. A Christ follower's hope is based on the absolute assurance that God will do what He says He’ll do. Today we're going to find out how to keep this kind of hope alive in good times and in bad as Pastor Steve continues his message, "Living With Hope." Get ready for a straight-forward, clear message on a truth that is essential to the Christian faith—the hope we have in Christ.
Hope is much more than just "crossing our fingers" and wishing for good things to come. In Pastor Steve’s message from the book of Hebrews we'll learn just what hope is and how we can keep it alive.
There are certain sins we're not to mess around with—namely the renouncing of Christ. Most of us who belong to Jesus never plan to divorce Him. God knows this and has plenty of grace and mercy to go around. Today on Life Lessons Pastor Steve finishes up his discussion on the "once saved always saved" doctrine and gives clear, biblical answers to some tough questions.
Today on Life Lessons Pastor Steve addresses a section of scripture that, in many of our study Bibles, has half a page of footnotes trying to explain what those verses mean. What do they mean? Can a person ever lose there salvation? Get ready for some clear, biblical answers to this confusing, controversial question.
Once we've been born again can we become un-born again? Is it possible for a new heart to return to old attitudes even to the point of renouncing Jesus? That's a tough question but it is one we must ask. Get ready for a clear, biblical answer to this difficult question and for great encouragement to keep keeping on in the basic principles of Christianity.
It's one thing to reiterate what you learn in a book. It's another thing to learn from first hand experience and then teach and comfort others who are going through similar circumstances. That's what being "called to the royal priesthood" is all about. Stay tuned to Life Lessons for the conclusion of Pastor Steve's message, "Called to Be Priests," a message that will take you deeper into your understanding of how God uses our suffering to minister to one another.
