Kept in the Collapse

Thirst Trap

“Lack does not mean the Lord has left…” This mornings sermon from Bro. Chris Jackson comes from the book of Isaiah 41:17-20. In today’s lesson we learn that despite our current state, the world’s current state, the country’s current state, the Lord will not forsake us! God can open rivers in desolate heights, fountains in the midst of the valleys, make the wilderness a pool of water, and the dry land springs of water. So when you are in a desolate place, not only will he make a way, but he will make a way out of no way!  “Don’t let your thirst think that God is not able.” The Church of Christ at Jackson Street  1408 Jackson Street Nashville, TN 37208 Minister, Bro.

Look Up & Look Back

“Why am I suffering because of my faithfulness and not my foolishness…” Bro. Jackson continues his series of The Sermon on the Mount in Matthew 5:10-12. In today’s lesson we learn how to rejoice in spite of persecution and find encouragement in the fact that earthly people “can run your name through the mud, but they can’t run you out of the kingdom of God.” During your darkest times don’t forget to look up at the one who “is able to do far more abundantly than all that we ask or think,” and to look back at the ones who came before that were persecuted but made if through!

No Mask, No Peace

“Pure in heart doesn’t mean I don’t sin, it means I’m real….” Bro. Chris Jackson takes us back to The Sermon on the Mount in Matthew 5:8-9. Today’s lesson begs the question…is the Lord really the Lord of your life?  Are you pure in heart, or do you have someone else in the co-pilots seat? Or are you wearing a mask that provides no peace?

The Fourth Quarter

“I serve a God that specializes in the fourth quarter. It’s never too late to turn it around, but you should never wait till the fourth quarter.” Bro. Jackson brings us a message today for fathers on this Father’s Day, and it begins in the book of 2nd Chronicles 33:1-13. In today’s lesson we learn about the young King Manasseh, whose reign was filled with atrocities in the first three quarters and evil was done in the sight of the Lord.  But even after all the evil Manasseh had done, he implored the Lord and humbled himself greatly before Him and the Lord brought him back… The Church of Christ at Jackson Street  1408 Jackson Street Nashville, TN 37208 Minister, Bro.

Kept in the Collapse

“Trust is more than faith…” Bro. Jackson delivers a message to our youth and young adults going off to college about what they will face in this world, but this message applies to us all! In today’s lesson we learn how to trust God in spite of our anxieties and fears inspired by Ebed-melech’s story in Jeremiah 39:15-18.  The Church of Christ at Jackson Street  1408 Jackson Street Nashville, TN 37208 Minister, Bro.
