Motivational

This week we continue our ongoing walk through the Book of Romans. We began chapter 15, verse 1. Paul begins this chapter with an admonishment to believers to be mindful of one another and to care for the weak and less experienced among us. (Sess 50 - CH 15:1) HD

Pastor David Gutierrez explains there are four ways we judge our worth, but the greatest changes in our lives take place when we see ourselves as God sees us.

In this message we are going to hear the Easter story through the lens of a Sanitation Worker.

We continue our series on ‘Knowing God through your Emotions’ by looking into how we express gratitude. Are you really a thankful person?

“Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above”
James 1:17, ESV

"To be grateful is to recognize the Love of God in everything he has given us-- and he has given us everything. Every breath that we draw is a gift of his love, every moment of existence is a grace, for it brings with it immense graces from him.”
Thomas Merton

Minister Cutting goes into the Spiritual changes that could have prevented this disaster.

Seeds that we sow is the future that awaits us. If these seeds aren't sown correctly, neither will our future become manifested the way God's plan has seasoned it.

Pastor David Gutierrez provides three reasons for expecting the best.

Too many in the church today want to give God their leftovers and yet hope to receive in return His best. This is not how faith works! A powerful word of instruction on the nature and work of faith!

The words to the song, "Hallelujah Anyhow... never let your problems bring you down. When those troubles come your way, life your head up high and say, Hallelujah Anyhow" SHARED like you never heard it before. Laughter does good like medicine. A tidbit (message before the message) from the sermons of the On Good Ground Christian Fellowship. (Before the sermon, A Person After God's Own Heart, Part 2).

What Will Happen When the Lord Returns?

Read Acts 1:9-11. “Now when He had spoken these things, while they watched, He was taken up, and a cloud received Him out of their sight. And while they looked steadfastly toward heaven as He went up, behold, two men stood by them in white apparel, who also said, Men of Galilee, why do you stand gazing up into heaven? This same Jesus, who was taken up from you into heaven, will so come in like manner as you saw Him go into heaven.” NKJV The angels declared that Jesus would come again. But what does the Bible say will happen when Jesus Christ returns?

Our Spiritual walk will bring us to a bridge like the song "Bridge over Troubled Waters"
Our kids are subjected to a lot of prejudices in schools today. Diseases, job, conflicts in the home, sadness and grief. These are all problems. Troubles are all around us. God is our bridge over troubled waters... Still waters run deep. We need to teach our children good from evil to avoid troubles that is to come in life.
Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego - God was with them in the fire.
Daniel in the den of lions - God took the taste out of the lions mouth.

Lazarus - rose from the dead
Blind man - could see
Woman with an issue of blood - she touched the hem of Jesus's garment.

Paul - was able to get away.
Paul - got out of jail.

Bridging the Gap: this gap exists because of sin. The only way to get to Jesus Christ is through Jesus Christ. Put yourselves in the right environment so that you would not be tempted to do the wrong things. Jesus came to bridge the gap for us. His is the bridge in troubled waters.

Mark 4:35-41
And the same day, when the even was come, he saith unto them, Let us pass over unto the other side. And when they had sent away the multitude, they took him even as he was in the ship. And there were also with him other little ships. And there arose a great storm of wind, and the waves beat into the ship, so that it was now full. And he was in the hinder part of the ship, asleep on a pillow: and they awake him, and say unto him, Master, carest thou

We continue our series on ‘Knowing God through your Emotions’ and look at the unsettling, volatile, and often misunderstood emotion of jealousy.


“I, the LORD your God, am a jealous God...”
God in , NIV

“They used things that are not gods to make me jealous and worthless idols to make me angry. So I will use those who are not a nation to make them jealous; I will use a nation that does not understand to make them angry.” God in Deuteronomy 32:21, NCV

“The meaning of God’s jealousy must be sought in God’s character as the holy One, and it is perhaps a measure of the love and esteem in which he holds creation that the rebellion of a creature infinitely lower than himself could be said to occasion jealousy in him.”
Eerdmans Bible Dictionary, 556

Definition; Jealousy arises when love that rightfully belongs to you is inappropriately, unjustly or disproportionately directed elsewhere; toward another person, place or thing. It’s not coveting, which is simply wanting what others have, and it’s not envy; wishing others didn’t have what they have. Jealousy wants the right thing and, in the right circumstances, is a good emotion. We are, after all, made in the image of a jealous God.

“I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons,[k] neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.”
, NIV

“Kind jealous doubts
