I preached again!

Therefore, God’s chosen ones, holy and loved, put on heartfelt compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness, and patience
Colossians 3:12, HCSB
God is worthy of our praise and gratitude, and we show it by treating each other well in the same faithful manner Christ has treated us.
The one who says he remains in Him should walk just as He walked.
1 John 2:6, HCSB
God has redeemed us from death and sin through the cross of Christ, and He calls us to live like Christ in the power of the Holy Spirit, living for God and being willing to die for righteousness.
Mankind, He has told you what is good and what it is the Lord requires of you: to act justly, to love faithfulness, and to walk humbly with your God.
Micah 6:8, HCSB
God has redeemed us from death and sin through the cross of Christ, the greatest injustice against to truly faithful one. He now calls us to live like Christ humble faithfulness to bring His justice and grace to the world, leading those who hate Him into fellowship with Him.
Love is patient, love is kind. Love does not envy, is not boastful, is not conceited
1 Corinthians 13:4, HCSB
In a world of pain, violence, and oppression, God empowers us to live out the same love and grace that Jesus showed through the cross. The Church should be the place that this is lived out the most in harmony, forgiveness, and patience.
Those who are persecuted for righteousness are blessed, for the kingdom of heaven is theirs.
Matthew 5:10, HCSB
In a world of pain, violence, and oppression, we join in Christ’s redemptive work knowing we may treated the same way He was. Faithfulness to Christ amidst violence and hatred may draw them to Him.
Each person should do as he has decided in his heart — not reluctantly or out of necessity, for God loves a cheerful giver.
2 Corinthians 9:7, HCSB
The primary purpose of the Holy Spirit is not merely to bring eternal life, but He also grows the sacrificial love of Christ in us to want to be generous with all we have and are.
“Repent,” Peter said to them, “and be baptized, each of you, in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins, and you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.”
Acts 2:38, HCSB
When we put our faith in Christ and His work on the cross, He gives us the Holy Spirit who leads us into repentance and Christ-like living, including turning from sin, being baptized, and leading others to repentant faith.
God’s love was revealed among us in this way: God sent His One and Only Son into the world so that we might live through Him.
1 John 4:9, HCSB
Though we are sinful, God sent Jesus to live, die on a cross for our forgiveness, and rise again. His love gives us hope for peace and everlasting life, and we should share this with all people.
“You are the light of the world. A city situated on a hill cannot be hidden.”
Matthew 5:14, HCSB
Though we are sinful, Christ has redeemed us by His grace and sacrifice, filling us with His light and sending us into the world to spread His light.
