In this message titled, "When I am Weak, then I am Strong," we consider 2 Cor. 12: 1-10 and we do so under these headings, 1) The Incomparable Vision of Heaven, and 2) The Thorn of Humility Set in Place. As always I claim no originality, but will cite, quote, refer to various sources including, Naylor, Ortlund, Denny, Philip E. Hughes, R. Kent Hughes, and others.

Sunday School class on the Westminster Larger Catechism Question 20: What was the providence of God toward man in the estate in which he was created? Answer: The providence of God toward man in the estate in which he was created, was the placing him in paradise, appointing him to dress it, giving him liberty to eat of the fruit of the earth; putting the creatures under his dominion, and ordaining marriage for his help; affording him communion with himself, instituting the Sabbath; entering into a covenant of life with him, upon condition of personal, perfect, and perpetual obedience, of which the tree of life was a pledge; and forbidding to eat of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, upon the pain of death.

Have you considered who might be taken out of here, as the Bride of Christ, while others are rejected? You can't earn salvation but you can definitely earn a full allotment in eternity. For more, please listen to Rise of the Dead and the Living, by David Boxton

Preaching the Gospel to Yourself #3 The Power of the Gospel Illustrated Luke 23:39-43

Working 9 To 5. Happy Labor Day Genesis 1:27-28; 2:8-9,15-17Work is a gift from God, not a curse.''The LORD God took the man and put him in the garden of Eden to work it and keep it'' In Genesis 2, we read that God put Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden. Many people think that one of the perks of paradise was the absence of work. However, if you read Genesis 2 carefully, you'll discover that work was a part of God's original ''very good'' creation.The Grind of a 9-to-5 got you down?Tumble out of bed,And stumble to the kitchen,Pour myself a cup of ambition,And yawn and stretch and try to come to life.Jump in the shower,And the blood starts pumpin',Out on the streets, the traffic starts jumpin',For folks like me on the job from 9 to 5.Many of us struggle with the difficulty or the dullness of our work. (I've had some jobs that I didn't enjoy.) Someone has said, ''I hate how Monday is so far away from Friday and Friday is so close to Monday.''Work was a part of God's original plan for humanity. Work brings personal fulfillment. Work became difficult after the Fall. After Adam sinned, God said to him, ''Cursed is the ground because of you; in pain you shall eat of it all the days of your life; thorns and thistles it shall bring forth for you; and you shall eat the plants of the field. Work is not to be devalued by laziness or overvalued by workaholic. God's seven days of creation show us the importance of both work and rest. May we as Christ's followers see that we were created by God to work. And may we glorify God in our work.

Resurrection of the old testament saints! Judgements, Paradise restored peace on Earth and the curse lifted are just a few of the things discussed in this lesson.

Sunday Morning Service – July 9, 2023 – Pastor Rhon Roberts Preaching

Pablo nos dice quién nos ha preparado un cuerpo celestial. Cómo vivimos para Dios en este cuerpo y el placer de estar ausentes de este cuerpo.

Paul tells us who has prepared a heavenly body for us. How we live for God in this body and the pleasure of being absent from this body.

The Bible is very clear that people are either in or out of heaven. It is black and white, there is no gray area. Every person will stand before God in judgment at the end of their lives. Are you in or out?

In preparation for the Table we consider the astounding and gracious works of Jesus to the thief on the cross.

What happens when we die? Where do we go? How does our story end? And what difference should that make for how we live our lives here and now?

Christ is crucified at Calvary yet he asked God to forgive them.

From Adam we received our sin nature, an unpayable debt, and exclusion from paradise. Christ provides a way back home.
