The Search Is Over
By: Morne Stephanus – www.moralcom.org The World is searching, searching for something. Some are searching for riches others for glory. Some are frantically searching for the next high, living a life dedicated to the desires of the flesh. There is no satisfaction in their endeavors and no outcome that will comfort their minds and satisfy their souls. The world is looking for the wrong things in all the “right” places. For those of us who have been adopted into the family of God by obedience to the Gospel (Galatians 3:26-27), the search is over. In Christ, we have found everything we need. The Lord promised us the abundant life (John 10:10) and this promise is fulfilled in every facet of pure Christianity. In Christ, our physical needs are satisfied by the promises, precepts, and providence of a God who cannot lie (Psalm 37:25, Galatians 6:9-10 & Matthew 6:33). Our spiritual needs are satisfied by the mercy of an all-compassionate God (2 Peter 1:3 & 2 Timothy 3:16-17). Furthermore, our future home in heaven is secured by and in the Captain of our Salvation (John 14:1-3 & 1 John 5:11). Truly the Christian’s life is one lived in satisfaction, rooted in peace and wholesome pleasure. Brethren our search is over, we have found in the Lord what the world is still looking for and don’t know they need. To God be the Glory! So, considering this fact how are you portraying Christianity? Do people see you content in the Lord and …

2019-06-16 – Sunday AM Class – Aaron Cozort – Lesson 111 – JESUS – Luke 24:50-53 Acts 1:9-12 Mark 16:19
The final act Of Jesus wall in his physical body, Yeah. Is to leave this earth. He doesn’t leave it the way you and I will. You and I, we will leave this earth with our body in the grave. Yeah. We will depart from this life much the same way that Jesus described in the account of uh, the rich man and Lazarus where if we are faithful, Lazarus would die And would be carried away into as, as the term there is used Abraham’s bosom, a place for those who are faithful to await the judgment. Jesus, that didn’t happen. Jesus went to the grave And by all indications, Jesus went into, as we understand it, to the limitation of, of revelation and what we can know went into the Hadean realm for a period of three days. But then when that time ended, he didn’t stay there. He Rose, he came out of the grave. He defeated death because there was no way that he could be held by death.

2019-05-06 – Sunday AM Class – John 16
John 16 begins with these things. These things I have spoken to you. Of course, the precursor to that statement, the things he’s talking about goes back to chapter 15 goes back chapter 14 chapter 13 and we don’t have time to go back and revisit all of these things, but he says, these things, I have spoken to you, that you should not be made to stumble. What would cause the disciples to stumble? Spiritually speaking, we’re not talking about them, you know, stubbing their toe on a rock, catching their sandals on a, on a route in the garden. That’s not what we’re talking about. What would cause the disciples to stumble? Temptations of the world, Temptations of the world.<inaudible> False teachers, a lack of faith, persecution,<inaudible>, Political pressure and and and pressures from the Sanhedrin and the Jewish leadership. And you’re going to see just just a few chapters into the book of acts that happening, not, not long after the day of Pentecost there in the temple preaching, they get arrested, they get thrown in prison, they get put on a put before the Sanhedrin. They get told, do not speak anymore. In this man’s name<inaudible> But above everything else, They don’t expect them to die. Huh. All the way to the trial. Following him to the cross.
