Realize - 8 Steps to a Thankful Heart

Join Pastor Cameron as he looks at the third step towards having a thankful heart - realizing that God is working all things together for our good.  We can be thankful in every situation when we realize even the seemingl bad things in life are working for our everlasting benefit and joy.  Perspective changes everything!  

Speech - 8 Steps to a Thankful Heart

One important key to gratitude is to say the words "thank you."  The Lord is looking for those who will go out of their way to show gratitude - join Pastor Cameron as he reminds us of this on today's podcast.  

Sing - 8 Steps to a Thankful Heart

Pastor Cameron starts a new series on The 8 Minute Devotion - "8 Steps to a Thankful Heart" in line with this season of Thanksgiving.  In today's episode we look at step 1 - singing awakens our heart to gratitude!  Singing God's praises glorifies Him and leads us to recognize all that He has done.  

A Higher Law (Matthew 5:21-22)

The New Covenant has a higher law than the old - we don't only follow outward rules (like do not murder) but inward realities (like don't hold anger against others).  Join Pastor Cameron as we discover the amazing standard and power of the New Covenant - it not only tells us what we should do but also gives us power to obey!

True Righteousness (Matthew 5:20)

On today's episode, Pastor Cameron reminds us that true righteousness is internal, and not external.  The scribes and Pharisees were very careful to follow their external rules while ignoring the condition of their hearts - Jesus gives us grace to be changed from the inside out.  

Great in the Kingdom (Matthew 5:19)

Jesus said that there would be those who would be least in the Kingdom of heaven, and those who would be great!  On today's podcast, Pastor Cameron looks at one of these paths to greatness - teaching others to observe the Word of God and walk in holiness.  Teaching comes with great responsibility, but also great reward to the faithful.  

Won't Pass Away (Matthew 5:18)

Join Pastor Cameron as we look at the enduring nature of God's Law and Word.  Every earthly thing will fade, but that which is built on God's Word is eternal!  Not one word He spoke will ever fall short.  

Fulfill the Law (Matthew 5:17)

Jesus didn't come to abolish the Law but to fulfill it.  He didn't nullify the Old Testament but brought it real meaning and purpose.  Join Pastor Cameron for today's podcast as we consider how Jesus gives us grace to walk in His ways and fulfill His law!  

Shining Works (Matthew 5:16)

We shine our light on earth not only by declaring the reason for our light, but also by doing good works.  Good works are not necessary for salvation, but are a result of being saved!  Join Pastor Cameron as he encourages us to live out our faith in a way that people around us can see!  

You Are the Light of the World (Matthew 5:14-15)

Join Pastor Cameron as we talk about how believers can be the light of the world.  The purpose of light is never to be hidden, but rather to be seen!
