Reflections From Sunday

Two Sundays ago, we discussed living a life of Joy. We looked at the statement found in the Wesminster Confession that states, "the chief end is to glorify God and enjoy Him forever". We read Galatians 4 and 5 and walked through some things that rob us of our joy. We talked about things like unmet expectations, unresolved conflict, and unconfessed sin. If you missed the service you can catch it here at GatewayTV . This week we looked at the story of Joshua and building the altar at Gilgal as a reminder of the hand of God on the Israellites and how He continued to be a rescuer for them. We asked ourselves questions like, "when was the last time God dried up the ground for you to walk on?". We also reflected on all of the altars that have been built in our individual lives and the life of Gateway Fellowship Church. God has been good!! If you were not able to be here this past Sunday, you can catch the service here

We gave ourselves a challenge last week. We submitted ourselves to reading the book of Philippians as a way of reminding us about rejoicing and joy. The words "rejoice" or "joy" are used more than 15 times in this 4 chapter letter that Paul writes to the saints in Philippi.

Happiness and Holiness

How is it, people often ask, that so many professing believers have so little happiness in their religion? How is it that so many know little of joy and peace in believing, and go mourning and heavy-hearted towards heaven? The answer to these questions is a sorrowful one, but it must be given. Few believers attend as strictly as they should to Christ’s practical sayings and words. There is far too much loose and careless obedience to Christ’s commandments. There is far too much forgetfulness, that while good works cannot justify us, they are not to be despised. Let these things sink down into our hearts. If we want to be eminently happy, we must strive to be eminently holy.

~ J.C. Ryle

As the Westminster Confession states, "the chief end is the glorify God and enjoy Him forever". Do we as believers in Jesus Christ live our lives in such a manner that is worthy of the gospel of Christ? Do we honestly believe that Christ is more glorified in us, when we are most satisfied in Him? The scriptures call and compel us to live our lives as holy and pleasing unto Him.

Challenge: Live your life in the Freedom that Christ has given you. You are not shackled by your circumstances. Glorify God and Enjoy Him Forever
