Добавлен 20 мар 2020
This channel is dedicated to sharing the love of Jesus Christ in our community and beyond. We believe there is absolutely nothing we can do to receive eternal life - Jesus Christ has already done everything necessary. He gave His life for our salvation. God doesn't need our good works, but our neighbor does. If you would like to learn more, visit us at St. Matthew Lutheran Church Sonora: stmatthewchurchsonora.org/
Why is it not good to make God small in our lives?
God is so much bigger than we often realize! Psalm 83 reminds us that He created the heavens and the earth with His very fingers. Yet, through Jesus, He came to us in a way we can understand, showing His grace and mercy. When we view God as beyond our understanding, we can truly appreciate His greatness. Remember, He calls us His dear children and promises to be with us. Let’s embrace the vastness of God and trust in His incredible love!

What does the Bible say about fault finders?
Просмотров 1212 часов назад
It’s easy to get caught up in finding faults and pointing out others' mistakes. But the Bible reminds us that this habit can keep us from becoming who God wants us to be. Instead of focusing on others' flaws, let’s embrace grace, love, and forgiveness. With God’s help, we can learn to let go of small offenses and become a source of positivity and encouragement. Let’s strive to uplift those arou...
Can politics become like a religion?
Просмотров 1116 часов назад
Politics can easily become like another religion when we place our full trust in it. Psalm 146:3 reminds us, "Do not put your trust in princes." While voting and choosing trustworthy leaders is important, our ultimate hope should be in Jesus, not politics. All human systems are flawed, but God's grace through Jesus Christ offers true transformation. Let’s focus on His guidance and love, knowing...
Why can listening to others be risky?

Listening to others can feel risky because it challenges us to see beyond our own views. But when we truly listen, we discover new truths and deepen our relationships. Jesus reminds us in Matthew 15:11 that hearing is essential. By embracing God's grace through Jesus, we gain the freedom to understand others without striving for perfection. This openness enriches our lives and fosters meaningfu...

The Bible reminds us in Matthew 5:6 that those who hunger and thirst for righteousness will be satisfied. True righteousness comes from Jesus, who offers us grace and love as a free gift. Instead of always needing to be right, we can grow by listening to others and seeking understanding, t...

How does God give us a new identity?
Просмотров 714 дней назад
God offers us a new identity through His grace. 2 Corinthians 5:17 says that anyone in Christ is a new creation. This means our worth doesn’t come from our achievements or mistakes, but from Christ’s perfect work. You are free in God’s family to live as He designed, walking with Him each day. Embrace this new identity and trust in God’s grace as you journey forward. His peace is with you every ...
We don't see things the way they are. We see things as we are.
