Give Thanks in Jesus For All Things

Classic Christianity – Give Thanks – 11-04-26

~ 1 Thessalonians 5:18 — “Give thanks in every circumstance, for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus.”

Bob George teaches that giving thanks “in all things” means gratitude isn’t dependent on circumstances going well. Life includes both joy and sorrow, and he says a thankful heart begins with seeing life realistically rather than expecting constant happiness.

Bob describes people as having bodily, soulish, and spiritual needs. Physical needs include food and water; soulish needs involve the mind, emotions, and will. He identifies the spiritual needs for unconditional love, acceptance, and meaning as needs that, in his view, can ultimately be met only through God.

Bob cautions against looking to a spouse, family, career, or other people to satisfy those deepest needs. Expecting others to provide perfect love, acceptance, or purpose can create frustration and strain relationships. He presents reliance on Jesus, rather than on people or temporary comforts, as the answer to this misplaced dependency.

Bob also teaches that thoughts shape emotions: dwelling on past mistakes can bring guilt and regret, while imagining future troubles can fuel anxiety. He encourages renewing the mind through biblical truth and turning attention toward what is true and good.… Click to Read More And Follow Along With The Message

Jesus calls us sons of God

Classic Christianity – Children of Promise – Part 2 – 11-03-26

~ Galatians 4:07 — “So you are no longer a slave, but a son; and since you are a son, you are also an heir through God.”

Bob teaches from Galatians that people who belong to Christ are united in one body, regardless of distinctions such as HEBREW or Gentile, slave or free. In Christ, believers become children of God and heirs to the promise.

Bob describes redemption and spiritual birth as God’s work: through Christ, believers receive the Spirit and a new life. The Spirit’s presence, he says, assures them that they are God’s children and allows them to approach Him as “Abba, Father.”

He contrasts dependence on God with human pride and self-sufficiency. Bob says God gave people a will, but choosing to rely on oneself rather than God can lead to spiritual bondage. In his view, people respond to God’s initiating love rather than earning it through their own efforts.

Bob also warns against allowing religious observances, rules, or church traditions to take the place of Christ. He uses the Sabbath as an example: it was a shadow pointing to Jesus, whom he presents as the source of lasting rest.… Click to Read More And Follow Along With The Message

The Law is Like a Mirror

Classic Christianity – Children of Promise – Part 1 – 11-02-26

~ Galatians 3:24 — “So the law became our guardian to lead us to Christ, that we might be justified by faith.”

Bob George’s message contrasts the law with God’s grace. He teaches that the law cannot give people life or make them righteous; instead, it reveals humanity’s spiritual need and points people toward Christ. Like a mirror that shows dirt but cannot wash it away, the law identifies the problem, while Jesus is the one who brings cleansing and life.

Bob emphasizes that eternal life is found in Jesus, and that faith in Christ brings a person out from under the law’s supervision. He describes believers as identified with Christ and clothed in His righteousness—not relying on their own. Through the Holy Spirit, they are made children of God and heirs, able to approach Him as “Abba, Father.”

He also highlights unity among believers: in Christ, distinctions such as HEBREW and Greek, slave and free, and male and female do not divide the body. Bob presents redemption as God’s gift through Jesus and says the Spirit’s presence assures believers of their relationship with God.

Finally, Bob cautions against letting religious rules, calendars, or church activity become substitutes for a relationship with Jesus.… Click to Read More And Follow Along With The Message

Jesus is Our Righteousness and Our Wisdom

Classic Christianity – A New Heart – Part 2 – 10-28-26

~ 1 Corinthians 1:30 — “It is because of Him that you are in Christ Jesus, who has become for us wisdom from God: our righteousness, holiness, and redemption.”

Bob George emphasizes that genuine Christian transformation begins inwardly, with Christ changing the attitudes of the heart rather than merely altering outward behavior. Since actions can be imitated, he says, the renewal of the mind is an ongoing process that should ultimately shape how people live.

He describes spiritual rebirth as a new creation from God, distinct from physical birth. In his teaching, believers are made righteous, holy, and complete through Christ—not through their own efforts, appearance, or behavior. He connects this assurance to the belief that those who are in Christ are secure in Him and need not fear death.

Bob also explains his view of the church as the body of Christ: the true church consists of born-again believers joined to Jesus, while local congregations may include both believers and nonbelievers. Because believers belong to one another, he says they should speak truthfully and make the church a place where people can share struggles without fear of condemnation.… Click to Read More And Follow Along With The Message

Anyone in Christ Jesus is a New Creation in Jesus Himself

Classic Christianity – A New Heart – Part 1 – 10-27-26

~ 2 Corinthians 5:17 — “Therefore if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old has passed away. Behold, the new has come!”

Bob George’s central message is that lasting change begins with renewing the mind, not merely changing outward behavior. He argues that feelings such as anxiety and depression are part of human experience, and that trying to address feelings directly misses their underlying thoughts. In his teaching, a renewed way of thinking can, in turn, affect how a person feels and acts.

He distinguishes believing a teaching from placing faith in it: someone may accept an idea as true without relying on it personally. He applies this distinction to Christian faith, saying that believers should trust in Christ’s complete forgiveness and sufficiency rather than merely agree with those ideas in theory.

Bob describes a Christian’s identity as a child of God and a new creation, while acknowledging an ongoing conflict between the desires of the flesh and the Spirit. He says the central choice is which one a person yields to, and warns that outward conduct can be imitated without reflecting inward change.… Click to Read More And Follow Along With The Message

Jesus Completes The Good Work in You

Classic Christianity – Attitudes for Life – 10-26-26

~ Philippians 1:6 — “He who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus.”

Bob George begins by reflecting on Paul’s conversion and long period in Tarsus, presenting it as a time when God reshaped Paul’s legalistic outlook. He connects Paul’s experience to the idea that spiritual growth takes time: salvation is by grace, and God—not other believers—is responsible for completing the work He begins in a person.

Turning to Philippians, George highlights Paul’s confidence in God’s ongoing work and his prayer that believers grow in love, knowledge, and insight. He describes discernment as important for recognizing what is good and wise, and points to Paul’s warning about people who use flattery or cause divisions. Bob argues that Scripture should guide judgments about right and wrong.

The message then considers how hardship can serve a larger purpose. Paul’s imprisonment, Bob says, helped advance the gospel and encouraged other believers to speak with greater courage. He uses this to contrast living for a cause greater than oneself with focusing mainly on personal comfort or recognition.

Bob also discusses the different motives people may have for preaching Christ.… Click to Read More And Follow Along With The Message
