Sermons- Trinity Bible Fellowship Davenport

Today, we will look at both the actions God blesses and the blessings He gives.

We begin a walk through the Sermon on the Mount with a look at the Beatitude.

And can it be that Jesus died?  And can it be that He’s alive again?  And can it be that God loves me that much?  And praise God, the answer is yes.

Mike Bell: Palm Sunday, the Beginning of the Beginning

Jesus attempts to do His ministry quietly, but He is in high demand all the same.

1 Peter 2:9 But you are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, God’s special possession, that you may declare the praises of him who called you out of darkness into his wonderful light.

It wasn’t about water, and it wasn’t about wine; it was about Jesus’ ability to give life, and life more abundantly.

The four fishermen were busy at work when Jesus called them. He did not say, Follow Me when it’s convenient.” He said, “Follow Me.” And they did.

Jesus was tempted in every way, even as we are, yet He did not sin.  This could make Him contemptuous of us, but instead, He has compassion, as One who understands what we are going through.

John said, “No, I should be baptized by You!”  Jesus replied, “This is to fulfill all righteousness.”  We’ll explore this exchange and see what we can learn from it.

Today, we begin a tour through all four Gospels with an introduction to Jesus.  All four let us know He is the One we’ve been waiting for.

Some of our teens will tell about their experiences with God and what He is doing in their lives.

David, as is obvious from this passage, had tremendous wealth.  Now, as he is preparing to die, having taken care of his family, gives most of it back to God. 

In pride, David calls for a census, which brings God’s judgment and great suffering.  But the final outcome is that David gains and dedicated the hill that we now call the Temple Mount.

David’s struggle is between his love for his son and his faithfulness to God and His people.  In the end, he chooses God.

This is all about who Jesus is, Son of God, Son of man, the hope of all mankind

God’s love required Him to be up close and personal.  It was a power that compelled Him to send Jesus to this world.

Pastor John Doyle teaches on Isaiah 40:3, prophecying the coming of the Messiah.

David is God’s anointed, yet many, even of his supposed allies, are rising against him.  At the same time, we find some unexpected allies.  And then there are those you just can’t figure out whose side they’re on.  When times are hard, that is when God’s people have a chance to shine.

Our faithfulness might move like the waves of the sea, but God’s love endures forever.
