Zion Baptist Church

Gospel shows us how we are unified in Christ. Unity should empower us to serve and make a difference.

Messages to apply to your everyday life and situations. We hope your life is encouraged and blessed by these messages.

To witness is to evangelize. To evangelize one needs sound doctrine. Sound doctrine is for evangelism

Today my desire is for us to know that biblical doctrine is essential for our church and our relationship with God as as a church member.

Forgiving others free you of shame, anger, pain and guilt. You can also know the freedom of being forgiving. Choose to forgive and be forgiven.

Choose to repentance and begin new and not look back to the old ways. Christ has a new life for you as you come accepting his forgiveness for your sins.

God’s Choice of love was for the world to be saved. This choice sent his only begotten Son to die a death for our sins. This choice shows us how much He loves us. Jesus said, ““Greater love has no one than this, that one lay down his life for his friends” (John 15:13 NAS95). Because of this great example, “We know love by this, that He laid down His life for us; and we ought to lay down our lives for the brethren” (1 John 3:16 NAS95). The Lord’s choice should influence our choice to live for Him.

Jesus is the Son of Man who came to earth to die for the world. The Son of Man came to give eternal life, this is the gift of salvation. Salvation is the greatest gift of all.

Jesus the greatest Servant brought us Salvation in his service

Jesus is our High Priest who represents us before God and presents our sacrifice. At the same time as being our High priest, Jesus is our perfect sin offering as he is the lamb of God who takes away the sins of the world.

Jesus is King of kings. He is the resurrected ruler of all things. is he king of your life? Celebrate Christmas with your King.

Jesus The Christ fulfilled many offices as Messiah. He came as prophet who proclaim the word of God and was our mediator and told us of what to come before the Lord.

God has told us what is good and what is right. We should do those things and show love to on another. Not being judgmental and moving without seeking God's will.

But if God is your pleasure then you may see more of God in your life because he is your pleasure. You will see more love, peace, joy and humility. You will see more of God’s character in your life because that is what you are after. More of God and less of you will be evident in your life. You will love to serve others more than yourself for God is your pleasure.

Fighting my selfish ambition will need me to control my selfish desires. This will imply discipline in my life. The impact of if I am disciplined or not will be reflected in my speech, my tongue. If I can not control my tongue I am lacking discipline. Being ambitious in this world is applauded in some circles. However in this text to be ambitious in this text is not the case. Ambition is defined as one who is self-seeking for a political office by unfair means. This word "ambition" is used as a human vice and not as a virtue in the Bible. For that reason we see Paul instruct in Philippians 2:3, “Do nothing from selfishness or empty conceit, but with humility of mind regard one another as more important than yourselves;” (Phil 2:3 NAS95). This instruction is good to follow today as it was then.

God moves in our life to bring a change for the better. God moves in our life show us his love, power and mercy.

Living Faith is faith that is practiced daily showing the love of God to all we meet and and walking out what we believe. This faith in practice makes perfect.

What makes the Great, Great is Submission, Sacrifice and Service. You must serve to be great and serving involves sacrifice and submission to serve others above yourself.

Do not lose focus of the main thing, the message hat is the gospel of the kingdom that requires submission of the Spirit to do the mission of delivering the message. The message us the gospel of the kingdom.

Humble faith to The Lord is looking to serve with Love to all we meet. This faithful service shows our love to our God. This love will also remove pride and preferential treatment as society does. This love will move us too keep all of God's precepts and not the ones we choose.
