Work Hard In Your Christian Duties Part 1
There’s a big difference in trying to work for our salvation, and working out our salvation. In today’s teaching the Apostle Paul makes it plain.
Humility Results In Exaltation
A companion Scripture to today’s message is found in 1 Peter 9:6 “Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, that He may exalt you in due time.” In other words, the way up is down.
The Call To Humility/ Humility Makes You More Like Jesus
Let Christ himself be your example as to what your attitude should be. For he, who had always been God by nature, did not cling to his prerogatives as God’s equal, but stripped himself of all privilege by consenting to be a slave by nature and being born as mortal man. And, having become man, he humbled himself by living a life of utter obedience, even to the extent of dying, and the death he died was the death of a common criminal. Today’s message is a call to humility. Humility isn’t thinking less of yourself, it’s thinking about yourself less.

Humility is Our Challenge
In today’s passage, Paul gives us some pointers about how to resist the sin of pride, and how to walk in humility. And that’s crucial, because God resists the proud and gives grace to the humble.
Understanding Who You Are Changes You
As children of God we have the assurance of who we are in Him, and when we understand that it doesn’t just change our feelings, it changes us.
God Provides Deliverance
There are many things in this world that can keep you captive and prevent you from experiencing God’s best for your life. Be it a habit or an emotion or any other situation, know this: God provides deliverance.
God Is Not Asleep
I will lift up my eyes to the hills— from whence comes my help? My help comes from the Lord, Who made heaven and earth. He will not allow your foot to be moved; He who keeps you will not slumber.
Hang Tight
Someone once said that if Christians don’t hang together, our enemy will hang us separately. Today’s message is a call to unity amongst the Body of Christ.
Who Am I?
When someone asks, "Who am I?" they may be wondering about their identity beyond their superficial characteristics, relational identities, and biographical experiences. It can also be a question about one’s relationship to the outside world. But today, we want to see ourselves from God’s perspective.
