Building A Life of Service

Pastor Steve Merryman explores the important topic of serving others.

If you were to ask the question, “How would you define greatness or success?” You would get many different answers:
-Business people: Company growth or being #1 in the marketplace might be their answer.
-Wall Street brokers: financial clout and a big portfolio could be the answer.
-Athletes: Winning a World Championship or an MVP award might be the answer.
You would probably get as many answers as the number of people you asked. But what does God say? How does God define greatness and success?
In Matthew 20:26 (NKJV), Jesus says, “. . . whoever desires to become great among you, let him be your servant.” Notice that Jesus says if you want to be great, then you must serve.

Service and greatness go together.

Biblical Readiness, Week Five Scriptural Guideposts: To Regulate – To Resist – To Be Resilient

Dr. Stephen Isaac continues the teaching series on Biblical Readiness. In this teaching, the topic of spiritual resiliency is examined. The word resilience comes from the scientific discipline of physics. The word originates from two Latin words. Re, meaning “back”, and Salire; meaning “to jump or leap.” So, the literal definition of the word resilient means “to bounce back.” The word is associated with withstanding shock, difficulty, suffering or trauma – returning to form, maintaining strength, enduring and not giving up. Sounds like something we need spiritually, something we should seriously pursue. Right?

Biblical Readiness, Week Four Scriptural Guideposts: To Regulate – To Resist – To Be Resilient

In week four of our series Biblical Readiness, Dr. Stephen Isaac introduces the second of three scriptural guideposts leading to Biblical Readiness – -To Resist. More directly, to resist temptation and evil through the written
Word of God. The premise for “resisting through the written Word” as a scriptural guidepost is built upon a foundation that declares to us that the written Word of God is “the light to our path and the lamp to our feet” needed to resist all that tempts us and threatens to lead us into evil.

Biblical Readiness, Week Three Scriptural Guideposts: To Regulate – To Resist – To Be Resilient

Let’s look to find the righteous use and right context of the word “regulate” as it relates directly to the presence and work of the Holy Spirit in the day-to-day life of an interested and engaged follower of Christ. Or how about this?… the plan, purpose and the practical application of the Holy Spirit in the daily life of the “Biblical Worldview Christian.” Let’s now look at a “working” Biblical definition and context for the word regulate:

[regulate] to learn, to love, and to lean on the active presence of the Holy Spirit and daily guidance of God’s Word to achieve a balance of righteous effectiveness and divine efficiency within a person.

Biblical Readiness, Week Two Scriptural Guideposts: To Regulate – To Resist – To Be Resilient

As believers, we are called to be ready both in season and out of season. In other words, be ready at all times to share the Word and give witness to the hope that is in you. Biblical readiness means hearing God’s Word, obeying it, and sharing it with others. 2 Timothy contains some of the last words of the Apostle Paul – timeless words that we would do well to pay attention to.

Biblical Readiness, Week One

We live in times of trouble – troubling times. The strategic movement of the world’s leading cultures away from the objective and absolute principles of moral authority and a Judeo-Christian ideological order have positioned this weaponized agenda front and center. There is no doubt that this movement was elevated to “warp speed” by means of a global technopoly (a societal sensory control through the use and misuse of technology). The outcomes of moral ruination and God-less value systems were easily predictable by the now marginalized populous known as biblical worldview Christians. There were far too many Christians unprepared for such a free-fall – they were not in a state of biblical readiness and fell just as hard and compliantly as the rest. As I said, we live in times of trouble – troubling times. These are the days that the apostle Paul instructed Timothy would come – they are here.
