Real Life at the Ridge: Recent Episodes
Chestnut Ridge Church
Before Christ we were socially divided.In Christ we have a change of status, He removes our right to remain divided.Before Christ we are spiritually divided.In life there are 2 types of people: covenent people and lost people.Peace is impossable where there is division.Can you trend change in your life because what Christ has done?
We are here because of the Gospel.Because of the Gospel we are saved. We believed the Gospel.Because of the Gospel we are despised.When we believed, we were declared righteous.We were declared righteous because righteousness was imptued to us.
Men were not created to be everything to everyone.But men were created to lead.Leading is not for the weary.Those faint of heart may be unsure of their identities.Kingdom Work needs men that are consistent. The reward of doing right should thrill a godly man.
The Truth is women were not created to be everything to everyone.The truth is the preassure to fill the void is real.The truth is God knows your struggle.The truth is you are responsible for living out who God called you to be.The truth is it's hard to live with overflow when you are giving more than you are receiving.The truth is the church should be strong enough to provide support.The truth is if you are seeking to live godly you should be recognized.
My flesh is limited. I have universal limitations. I suffer personal consequences that add limitations.Natural resources are limited. Limited resources can never fill broken vessels. Partially filled vessels ca never fill other vessels.God has no limits. Only God can fill an eternal void. Only God can create overflow that impacts eternity.
