Pastor Phil: Faithfulness 3

http://pastorphilsears.blogspot.com/2013/06/faithfulness-3.html

Thursday, June 6, 2013. The characteristic of faithfulness needs to be cultivated in our Trustworthiness of Our Reliability. In Luke 16 we have the Parable of the Shrewd Manager. The concept of faithfulness is also demonstrated in this passage. Interpreters disagree as to whether the discounting of what was owed was a honest move. Was the manager giving away something he himself did not own? On the other hand maybe he was eliminating the interest payments his master may have overcharged the debtors.

Thursday, July 19, 2012. Empowered tp Impact 4. There's one more vital question to ask —. Can it Happen Today? Jesus healed in many ways, and all of them were miraculous.

http://pastorphilsears.blogspot.com/2013_03_01_archive.html

Thursday, March 28, 2013. The third thing that we want to look at that contributes to this fruit of joy is:. CHRISTIANS HAVE JOY BECAUSE OF THEIR PERSPECTIVE ON ETERNITY. This life is not all there is. We are called to look ahead. Is tied to hope, and hope always relates to the future. Paul CHALLENGES Christians in Rome to be "rejoicing in hope". Romans 12:12). The believer should look forward. Christ-like perspective is critical. It brings into focus. What is to be experienced in eternity. The New Testa...

Pastor Phil: February 2013

http://pastorphilsears.blogspot.com/2013_02_01_archive.html

Friday, February 22, 2013. Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Paul closes his definition of love with a bold statement that love never fails. In other words, the love of Christ is always successful. 8226; The love of Christ is more powe...

Tuesday, June 25, 2013. Let’s do A Comparison of Peace. Security in this life. Safety for the soul. Sense of direction and purpose. THREE DIFFERENT KINDS OF PEACE. This kind of peace is found in salvation. It is found only when a person surrenders their will. To God and accepts Jesus as Lord and Savior of their life. This kind of peace is seen in the character of God. It is this peace that points a person to God as the true and only source of peace. It is an assurance that moves. This peace is an inner.

Thursday, August 30, 2012. From Disappointed to Dynamic 4. That we, like refrigerators, are dependent. Creations … without being plugged in, we have potential. To make it happen!
