Pastor Ray Bentley Of Maranatha Chapel

Pastor Ray Bentley explains the Kingdom connection to Christmas. The message Jesus commissioned his disciples to teach in Luke chapter nine, verses one and two, was they were called to give the good news of the kingdom. In Matthew chapter 19, Jesus equated salvation with entering the kingdom and the gospel of Mark, the hope and comfort of the Christian hour in entering into the kingdom of God and the kingdom of heaven spread.

The message of the gospel is the King is coming and returning to the kingdom that he purchased, with his own body being broken in his own blood that was shed. Pastor Ray Bentley says Christmas celebrates the birth of our king and our connection to our father. You are members of a royal family, and one day the Bible says that we will rule and reign with Christ and the days of the coming kingdom spread.

Pastor Ray Bentley on the self-sacrifice of evangelism. There is something about those who really follow Jesus who so love their fathers and mothers and brothers and sisters, that when abuse and insult and ridicule is heaped upon them, they absorb it. And they say, you know what? I will take it so that you will one day change your mind about the direction you are headed and say, maybe this love is authentic.

Pastor Ray Bentley maps out the pathway to a deeper fellowship and friendship with God. Perfect love casts out all fear. When you're not afraid, you start to relax. And when you relax, you find that you can actually be yourself when you're really if someone's friend. The friends that I have or the friends that I can just be me.

And the greatest privilege you will ever have in your life is sharing the gospel of Jesus Christ with another human being, and see them open their heart and receive Christ.
