But why is that thankfulness "often neglected" and "sometimes difficult?" This message is not a full scale study of thankfulness, but rather an attempt to challenge our minds by proposing some answers to why giving thanks to God is often neglected and sometimes difficult. http://www.bereanlafayette.org/sermon/giving-thanks-to-god-often-neglected-sometimes-difficult http://media.bereanlafayette.org.s3.amazonaws.com/giving-thanks-often-neglected-sometimes-difficult.mp3 Sun, 21 Nov 2010 21:40:56 GMT We would readily agree that God wants us to be thankful to Him.

God does not intend for the life of a disciple to stand still. A disciples life is meant to be one that is progressively moving away from sin and toward Christlikeness or holiness. That movement is what the Bible calls "sanctification." http://www.bereanlafayette.org/sermon/the-life-of-a-disciple-progressively-sanctified http://media.bereanlafayette.org.s3.amazonaws.com/the-life-of-a-disciple-progressively-sanctified.mp3 Sun, 14 Nov 2010 21:25:47 GMT Scott Goodwill Fresh Vision: The Kind of Life God Wants Us to Live Through the use of three questions, Jesus draws out of Peter a confirmation of Peter's love for his Savior. It is that love for his Master that is to drive Peter to serve Him. Jesus also gives Peter a glimpse into his future and it will not end well. Peter's love for his Master will move him to follow Jesus regardless of what the future has in store. One final instruction is given Peter; He is to follow his Master regardless of who else is following and what their end will be. http://www.bereanlafayette.org/sermon/the-life-of-a-disciple-driven-by-love-following-no-matter-what http://media.bereanlafayette.org.s3.amazonaws.com/the-life-of-a-disciple-driven-out-of-love-following-no-matter-what.mp3 Sun, 24 Oct 2010 20:56:24 GMT Scott Goodwill Fresh Vision: The Kind of Life God Wants Us to Live Jesus is directing His words to the multitude to lead them to the place where they realize that it is not enough to remain loosely attached to Him. It is not enough to remain part of the multitude but they needed to know that being a disciple involved a commitment that would cost them something; their former life. http://www.bereanlafayette.org/sermon/the-life-of-a-disciple-counting-the-cost http://media.bereanlafayette.org.s3.amazonaws.com/the-life-of-a-disciple-counting-the-cost.mp3 Sun, 17 Oct 2010 16:27:40 GMT Scott Goodwill Fresh Vision: The Kind of Life God Wants Us to Live Jesus identified for His followers the kind of life He wanted His disciples to live. Those who followed Him were not His disciples unless they took up their cross. What does that mean? http://www.bereanlafayette.org/sermon/the-life-of-a-disciple-a-cross-bearing-life http://media.bereanlafayette.org.s3.amazonaws.com/the-life-of-a-disciple-a-cross-bearing-life.mp3 Sun, 10 Oct 2010 16:13:36 GMT Scott Goodwill Fresh Vision: The Kind of Life God Wants Us to Live We need to think of our lives in terms of being a disciple and doing what a disciple does. Being a disciple is more than church membership or attendance. Being a disciple is not an occasional endeavor or a recreational activity. Jesus Himself identifies the characteristics He expects in the life of His disciples. http://www.bereanlafayette.org/sermon/the-life-of-a-disciple-continuance-in-his-word http://media.bereanlafayette.org.s3.amazonaws.com/the-life-of-a-disciple-continuance-in-his-word.mp3 Sun, 03 Oct 2010 15:55:41 GMT Scott Goodwill Fresh Vision: The Kind of Life God Wants Us to Live The church is given the task of making disciples, Matthew 28:19. There is a need for a fresh vision of what a "disciple" is and what a disciple does, and a need to avoid the common contemporary tendency to group the church into "Christians" and "Disciples" (Christians who are zealous for Christ). We need to think of our lives in terms of "being a disciple." And we need to think of living our lives in terms of "what a disciple does." http://www.bereanlafayette.org/sermon/the-life-of-a-disciple http://media.bereanlafayette.org.s3.amazonaws.com/the-life-of-a-disciple.mp3 Sun, 26 Sep 2010 14:01:59 GMT Scott Goodwill Fresh Vision: The Kind of Life God Wants Us to Live God wants me to live my new life as a Christian in a "new" way, not my old life made better, or my old life with a hope of heaven. God does not want me to live my old life some of the time and my new life at other times. I don't just add Christ to my old life, but in regeneration Christ gives me a "new" life which is meant to be lived in a new way. http://www.bereanlafayette.org/sermon/a-new-life http://media.bereanlafayette.org.s3.amazonaws.com/a-new-life.mp3 Sun, 19 Sep 2010 20:45:22 GMT Scott Goodwill Fresh Vision: The Kind of Life God Wants Us to Live The Christian's life is intended to be lived in close, unhurried fellowship with Christ. Sadly, we can put Christ on the outside of our life leaving Him knocking at our door. If we will hear Him and open the door, He will come in and "sup with us." http://www.bereanlafayette.org/sermon/sup-with-him http://media.bereanlafayette.org.s3.amazonaws.com/sup-with-him.mp3 Sun, 12 Sep 2010 20:57:22 GMT Scott Goodwill Fresh Vision: The Kind of Life God Wants Us to Live Christ wants us to live our lives, awake. We can easily fall into live our spiritual lives mechanically and without energy, mindlessly and half-heartedly. If I am living that way, Christ wants me to "watch", becoming alert and aware... awake. The church at Sardis was told to wake up. http://www.bereanlafayette.org/sermon/awake http://media.bereanlafayette.org.s3.amazonaws.com/awake.mp3 Sun, 05 Sep 2010 00:26:30 GMT Scott Goodwill Fresh Vision: The Kind of Life God Wants Us to Live
