Christian Sink

       When trials and troubles inevitably come in life; we can be left feeling perplexed and frustrated. Feeling that life has found a way to hand us lemons. I say lemons not because we can take lightly many of the trials and tribulations that can be encountered in life. Lemons are a metaphor for the stinging sour bitterness that lifes tribulation can represent.  The old adage is to make lemonaide out of life's lemons. To do this we would need water and sugar to add to the lemons. Sometimes there is little in the way of sweetness to add or water to dilute a trial or tribulation. We are called by God to just ENDURE and keep running.  If you are at sea in a storm you have to endure, riding out the storm while doing all to stay afloat.  Hebrews 12:1-2 says " Therefore, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us also lay aside every weight, and sin which clings so closely, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before u...

Sermon points 1. Sins are forgive. 2. Salvation is given. 3. Eternal life is granted.   Death is not the end all life. It is to be separated from the body We all will continue to exist!. We all are living in temporary housing.  Every Christian should think in terms of eternity. You are allowed to live to make the changes you need to make in your life.    The resurrection proves Jesus power over life and death.  It shows he is sinless and did not see corruption not even one bone was broken.  When it come to speaking and telling people about the resurrection do not argue.  Proclaim it and move on. We do not have to argue ; like if we do not win the arguement Jesus did not get up !!!! Proclaim the truth and the Holy Spirit watches over the WORD. We just spread the seed. There are types of chicken meals that you just put in the oven and forget it while it cooks. We set it and forget it, that is what we do;  Just proclaim and let God do the work...

(Romans 8:28-39)      The Christian on earth will face problems during their time on earth. But by looking to Christ they can maintain a positive perspective if they continue to follow his commandments. Three things the believer need to consider: 1.There is a purpose for our problems (Romans 8:28)      God uses our trials for our own good to ultimately fulfill his purpose in our daily lives which is to be more like Jesus who did the Father’s will during his time on earth which led to the cross. 2. There is a process for our problems (Romans 8:29-30)      God knows everything there is about us, therefore he always knows what is best since he preordained those things beforehand. Therefore there is nothing we can hide from God, we can come to him in boldness in our time of need. 3.There is a promise concerning our problems (Romans 8:31-39)      God’s promise to never leave or forsake us in our problems is all the more confirmed si...

     Good friday The day Jesus Christ was beaten and lead to the cross. He voluntarily went to the cross.  He said in John 10:18 “No man taketh it from me, but I lay it down of myself. I have power to lay it down, and I have power to take it again. This commandment have I received of my Father.” KJV Why ?, Because as John the Baptist said in John 1:29 "The next day he saw Jesus coming toward him, and said, “Behold, the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world! He went to be the sacrificial Lamb a blood offering for the sins of humanity.       He spoke 7 saying: 1. Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do. Luke 23:34 2. Truly, I say to you, today you will be with me in paradise. Luke 23:43 to the thief. 3. Woman, behold your son. Son, behold your mother John 19:26-27 to Mary his mother. 4. My God, My God, why have you forsaken me? Matthew 27:46 & Mark 15:34 5. I thirst. John 19:28 6. It is finished. (From the Greek "Tetelest...

Facebook post By  Rev. Dr. Torrence Robinson Gethsemane Missionary Baptist Church · March 17 at 3:02 PM  "BEWARE: CHRISLAM, a new religion, teaches that Jesus is not the only way to Heaven.  I love you Steve Harvey but I have to call you out on this one.  First, Christianity is not a religion; second, Jesus said, “I am the way, the truth, and the life; no man (woman) comes to the Father except by Me (John 14:6).”  Finally, mixing the truth with error to show respect to other religions is not what we’ve been called to do.  God said “Come out from among them and be separate (2 Corinthians 6:17-18).”  I can love and respect people of religions outside of my belief without denigrating the gospel of Jesus the Christ.  Hold fast to what you have believed.  Jesus said, “Hold fast until I come! (Revelation 2:24-25).” CHRISLAM is a trick of the enemy to separate more and more people from God’s saving grace offered to whosoever will believe and accept ...

Sermon summary:  ACTS 27 13-24  1. Paradox in the storm      When the storm started all aboard were afraid. Paul was calm and told everyone that they would all live. He told them an angel from his God visited him with a message. The angel said God has graciously given you the lives of all who sail with you" !!  The paradox came  when Paul saw some sailor trying to sneak away in the life boat. Paul told the leader of the soldiers on board,a Centurion, not let them leave because if they leave we all will die. Why did God need the sailors ? God would use them as part of his will to save those on board. The paradox in life's storms !  God can deliver but what you do has consequences. Soldiers do not know how to sail. they needed sailors to sail and work as part of God's plan. Some say GOD is in control so it does not matter what i do. God says i will walk with you protect you BUT you have use your knowledge and gifts. Wear a mask for example to avoid ...
