So You Sinned...Now What? - 8 June 2008
Submitted by La-Aja on Sun, 06/08/2008 - 09:00.
When you first get saved it is so exhilarating! Your pumped and ready to witness to everyone you come into contact with. You can just feel the Holy Spirit moving through you and using you. Am I right? You feel like nothing can bring you down.
And then you sin. ugh.
Sin affects us in so many ways. Psychologically, your thoughts begin to change. Emotionally, the shame you feel from knowing the same friends and family you were just witnessing may be aware that you've just sinned, can discourage you from ever wanting to share the Gospel again. And even worse than that, the devil knows that you've sinned and will use that moment of weakness to try and take you out of the faith for eternity.
You hear alot of people say, "well even David sinned" and that is true, but what did David do after sinning? Instead of condemning himself, David prayed for restoration and vowed to teach sinners the Lord's ways (Psalm 51). Listen as Pastor Cox pushes you to get back up and keep running the race of faith even after stumbling. Just imagine how much louder the crowd roars when the team they thought would lose comes up from behind and wins. We too have more influence after getting up. When the enemy thought he had us defeated we come back even stronger!
Does Your Life Show You Believe? - 1 June 2008
Submitted by La-Aja on Sun, 06/01/2008 - 20:00.
Most likely you've heard the story of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, but you've never heard it like this.
The Israelites (also known as the Hebrews) were slaves in Babylon when the three Hebrews boys got an opportunity to be more than that. Most people in this situation would be so grateful for the opportunity that they would do anything to stay in the king's good graces. However, the Hebrew boys made a resolve to live for God like the covenant was never broken. Even though it looked like God had forsaken them they still made a resolve to serve only Him. And they took that resolve all the way into the fire where Christ was right there to protect them.
It was their lifestyle that showed their obedience to God - not their lips. Listen as Pastor Cox pushes you to look at your life and see if your life shows that you believe in Jesus Christ who will be there to save you too when you forsake fame, notariety and position in this life for a life lived sold out to your Savior.
Discouragement - 25 May 2008
Submitted by La-Aja on Sun, 05/25/2008 - 20:00.
Do you sometimes feel beat down? You're tired of the fight that it seems to take to live sold out to Christ. You're almost ready to quit. You know what? Many throughout history have felt the same way. And at that point, they had a choice - give in to discouragement and quit or trust that just as God delivered his people many times in the past, He would come through again.
For the Israelites coming out of Egypt and headed into the promised land, there was nothing standing in the way of them getting what God promised them...nothing except Discouragement. Listen as Pastor Cox describes what Discouragement can do in the lives of God's chosen people if you let it.
What is your Right Eye? - 18 May 2008
Submitted by lilcadet101 on Sun, 05/18/2008 - 20:00.
Jesus spoke with so much wisdom and authority. He raised the standard for the Laws of God to a level never before seen, especially lust. Listen as Pastor Cox peers into the historical roots of the words of Christ and exposes the REAL definition of lust. Christ ask us if our we are willing to pluck out our right eye if it would get in the way of being sold out to him. Would you?
Revival Series: What is Love? - 30 Apr 2008
Submitted by TQ - P4CM GSC on Wed, 04/30/2008 - 20:00.
In the second part of the revival series being held during Wednesday night Bible Study, Pastor Cox speaks about love. There are so many places that we look for love in the world today - in music, movies, friends, family, the opposite sex. But God so loved the world...you know the rest, but do you know His love, do you appreciate His love? How do you respond to His love? Listen as Pastor Cox speaks about how this love can bring about revival.
Revival Series: A Heart of Revival - 23 Apr 2008
Submitted by TQ - P4CM GSC on Wed, 04/23/2008 - 20:00.David is certainly an important man in the Bible. "A man after God's own heart." So, why did David fall into such a shocking sin against another man, that man's wife and God Himself? After all this is the man who stood for the Lord against Goliath. It wasn't clearly evident how or exactly when, but at some point, David's heart drifted away from the Lord. Even though David was winning military campaigns and prospering as God's anointed, the wheels of his heart were in motion to sin against God.
Has your heart drifted away from God? Maybe nobody else can notice, but you know and God knows that you are not living your life on fire for Him. You may need a revival in your life. Listen as Pastor Cox speaks boldly and encouragingly on this issue.
Intro to Romans Pt 2: Set Apart for the Gospel - 13 Apr 2008
Submitted by lilcadet101 on Sun, 04/13/2008 - 12:00.
Last week we learned that Paul had a rightful place in the highest levels of Roman society as a Roman citizen. Nevertheless, when he met Jesus face to face on the Damascus road, he was willing to give that up to become a slave to Jesus Christ, the fulfillment of the scriptures. Now we move on to verse 2 of chapter 1 to learn that he was set apart or called to proclaim the Gospel. Some people today feel called to be married or a parent; or to be a doctor or lawyer or just rich; or to be an athlete or music or movie star. But above all of that, as Christians, we are called by Christ to be ministers of the Gospel and make disciples of all nations. Does that calling sound as attractive as some of the others? Are you answering that calling?
Intro to Romans Pt 1: A Slave of Jesus Christ - 06 Apr 2008
Submitted by lilcadet101 on Sun, 04/06/2008 - 12:00.
Paul had all the full rights of a Roman cititzen. It was then much like being a US citizen is today. The words, "I'm a Roman citizen" got Paul out of torture and jail on more than one occasion. But before calling himself an apostle, he announced himself to the Gentiles and Jews in Rome as a slave to Jesus Christ. This humble position underlies the whole book of Romans. Listen as Pastor Justin Cox introduces the series on the Book of Romans.
