What is pure?
Our topic in this series is ‘Thinking Right Thoughts’. Philippians 4 verse 8 is our text. It says.. Whatever is TRUE whatever is NOBLE whatever is RIGHT whatever is PURE, whatever is LOVELY, whatever is ADMIRABLE; If anything is excellent or praise worthy THINK ABOUT SUCH THINGS. So far, we’ve found that God’s WORD is TRUE – it’s the standard to use in judging WHAT to think about. God’s WAY is NOBLE – it’s the method to use in EXERCISING God’s Word. And God’s WILL is RIGHT - It’s what we should follow to live out God’s word. On this program, Barbara Sandbek will define what PURE thinking is.
What is RIGHT?
We’ve all heard the saying ‘The mind is a terrible thing to waste’. We can waste our minds by thinking unproductive thoughts. Philippians 4:8, our main text for this series, says Whatever is TRUE whatever is NOBLE whatever is RIGHT whatever is PURE, whatever is LOVELY, whatever is ADMIRABLE; If anything is excellent or praise-worthy THINK ABOUT SUCH THINGS. On our program today, Barbara Sandbek will define what thinking is RIGHT.
What is Noble?
A man's life is governed by his thoughts. He will ultimately become what he dwells upon most in his mind. This is the reason for Paul's instruction in Romans 12 verse 2, "Do not conform any longer to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind". It’s important that we THINK RIGHT THOUGHTS. That’s the subject of our current series on Grace Notes. Barbara Sandbek will elaborate on what it means to think about things that are noble. So put your thinking cap on and have a listen…
Think Right Thoughts – part 1
The mind is a powerful thing. What you think greatly influences what you say and do. It can govern the success or failure of your efforts, and even improve or ruin your health. Our mind is often associated with our personality. It’s said that a person can be weak or strong minded - sharp or dull minded - spiritually or carnally minded. You can be out of your mind or in your right mind. And..you can open, close and change your mind…the list goes on. Today on Grace Notes, Barbara Sandbek begins a series on ‘Thinking Right Thoughts’. So, set your MIND in gear and listen up for a MIND enlightening message.
Making a New Start
The apostle Paul wrote in 1 Corinthians 2:2…”I resolved to know nothing while I was with you except Jesus Christ and Him crucified.” This knowledge allowed him to endure the many sufferings he received in his ministry, and still write heartfelt instructions from his experiences that even we follow today. Resolutions are good things to make as long as we rely on the direction of the Lord to DEFINE them and His strength to KEEP them. On our program today, Barbara Sandbek will discuss how we can determine what makes a Godly resolution.
The Christmas Story Lives On in You!
This is the last program in our Christmas story presentation. We’ve seen that God chose people who were, young, old, lowly, elite, and even peculiar, to play the roles. The common thread was that they were willing and ready. The beauty of the Christmas story is not just that Jesus CAME to earth, but WHY He came. Listen and hear more…
The Christmas Story
We hope you’ve enjoyed the Christmas Story these past few programs and that you’ve taken time to read it for yourself. On our last program, Barbara Sandbek told of the events that led up to the birth of Christ and described the surroundings in which the Savior of the world was born. Today, she will talk about the support players, and continue with the reading of the Christmas story.
What Did Mary Know?
On our last program, Barbara Sandbek began a series on the Christmas Story. She talked about some of the players and their roles. We learned that God’s ways are not our ways and that He chooses people to do His work, based on Godly character, rather than on outward appearance or status in life. Today, Barbara will continue with the other players, and begin the reading of the Christmas story.
The Season to be Busy?
HO HO HO 'Tis the season to be jolly! From the day after Thanksgiving, until the 25th of December, everybody is HAPPY. We hear Christmas music, shop 'til we drop, go to parties and attend performances. Then on the 26th of December, it's ALL OVER. We're left with un-decorating, bills, extra pounds, and even illness because we ate and partied too much. All this for one day! Christmas should really be in our hearts, EVERY day of the year! So...how can we prevent ourselves from being caught up in all of this? By focusing on the true meaning of Christmas. On this Grace Notes program, Barbara Sandbek is going to do just that. She'll begin a series on the Christmas Story, and bring out some interesting points you may not have considered. So prepare to be blessed - and don't miss a single broadcast as she unfolds the event with a Christmas song...
