Pour Out The Blessings!

God wants to bless His people. He is the purifier, the judge, the one who pours out blessings. According to Malachi 3:1-12, we need to recognize who He is, see what He has done, and respond in ways that honor Him. There are social, theological and economic principles to learn in these verses.

Questions about Difficult Times and Suffering

It is wonderful to know that the Bible has answers to life's biggest questions. Two questions that people ask are:

1. Why does it seem that a "black cloud" is following me everywhere I go?
2. How do I rejoice in suffering?

Drawing from James 1:2-4 and other Scriptures, this message answers these two very important questions. Listen to this message Questions About Difficult Times And Suffering here: http://www.lpbaptist.org/QuestionsAboutDifficultTimes.mp3

Blessing

What does the word "blessing" mean to you? Is it a prayer before a meal, a nice thing that happens during the day, a kind word, or a special religious ceremony? In Numbers 6:24-26, the Lord instructs the priest Aaron on how to bless the children of Israel. That blessing teaches us much about who God is and how He blesses His people. When Jesus came to the earth, He brought God's blessings with Him, and He wants to give them to you. Have you received them? Are you blessed?

My God Will Supply All Your Needs

The Bible is clear that God - who cares more about you than He does about the birds of the air (and they never lack for food!) - will supply all your needs. But what do we really need? And, are we guaranteed that God will provide everything we want? Philippians 4:10-23 discuss principles of simplicity, sharing, spiritual blessings and supply, as we see how the apostle Paul - who for a time was very hungry, lonely and persecuted for his faith - tells us that My God Will Supply All Your Needs.

Fields of Grace

Let's stand in God's fields of grace. In His fields of grace, you will find amazing blessings: peace... forgiveness... hope... the glory of God... rejoicing in afflictions... His undending supply of love poured into your heart. You enter His fields of grace by the righteousness that comes by faith in Christ. Won't you stand in His fields of grace?

And, while you're at it, check out this video that we showed at the beginning of the message. Pastor Derek refers to it a few times during the message.

In The Name of Jesus

As Christians, we seek to live each day for Jesus' name to be glorified through our lives. The early disciples surely did too. When Peter & John went up to the temple at prayer time one day, they encountered a crippled man who needed to know Jesus personally. In the name of Jesus, there is healing. In the name of Jesus, there is forgiveness. In the name of Jesus, there is blessing. This message, In The Name of Jesus, from Acts 3:1-26, describes how the name of Jesus can be glorified in and through your life today.

Have You Been Adopted By God?

No one enters God's family by natural birth. No one becomes one of God's children just by being good or being religious. Everyone who becomes a child of God does so by being adopted into His family. God is a loving heavenly Father who wants to adopt you! This message, Have You Been Adopted By God? from Galatians 4:1-7 challenges you to look deep into your own heart to see if you are one of God's children. Eternal life is at stake. And the blessings of being adopted into God's family are out of this world! Listen to the message here: http://www.lpbaptist.org/haveyoubeenadoptedbygod.mp3
