Are You Forsaking The Church
Text: Hebrews 10:24-25 Have you been faithful to the body of Christ? Christianity was never meant to be a “solo” project. Church membership is biblical. Some people miss the understanding of this. Being faithful to your church is a new covenant. The new covenant is faithfulness and accountability. God is calling us to be connected to the body. When we say we are part of the body, we have made a commitment to Jesus. . .not a building. . .not…
An Encounter With A Holy God
Text: Exodus 3:2-10 Our God is a Holy God! He is seperated from Everything that is evil. He is dedicated to Himself for His Glory. He is the litmus test for what is good and what is evil. Holiness is a call to seperation. There is a huge gap between what we think is holy and God’s Holiness. God wants no unclean thing to come before Him. We must come to Him with the right reverence and attitude of heart.…
God’s Providence
Text: Exodus 1:8-21 The devil is raising up a people who are against the things of God. But God! He is raising up a people who will take a stand for Truth! A people who fear God! Providence means. . .to see and to provide. God sees what’s going on and He will provide. He will guide us to the perfect ending and time. . .all for His Glory! God’s Providence is working in our lives right now. What’s happened…
Keep Watch! Jesus is coming!
Text: 2 Peter 3:1-6 Even though we don’t know the day and the hour of Jesus’ return, we are given signs. There are people who will mock the coming of Christ and live the way they want, and they are influential. . .being used by the enemy to try to turn us from the Truth. They are trying to destroy our faith. We need to stand fast on our beliefs. God wants us to understand His Truth. . .the Bible!…
Fighting for truth ii
When we look at the state of the church and ask, “What is the biggest obstacle or battle of the church?”, we could get many different answers. But, I believe the biggest battle is apostasy. . .false doctrine. Apostasy is a complete falling away of the teaching of Christ. We stand on the Truth of the Diety of Christ! We stand on the Truth that we are saved by grace! We stand on the Truth that salvation is through Jesus…
Fighting for truth
Text: Jude 3-11 In 2018, we’ve probably all had distractions. . .things that kept us from reading the Bible and praying. In 2019, we need to contend. . .to start fighting and go after the things of God. We have to fight the enemy aggressively. He wants to kill, steal, and destroy. We have to fight for our children and our marriages. We must stand up for the TRUTH and fight for what we believe in. We’ve become lazy when…
The Father’s Business
We all make resolutions for the new year. But, what is the resolution God is telling us to make? We have to be “about the Father’s business.” We should want our children to be “about the Father’s business.” There are so many things in this world pulling for our attention. We have so much to contend with. While we’re living at ease and comfortable, the enemy comes in and starts sowing seeds. He will not quit! He is a full-time…
Unto Us A Child Is Born
Who is this Jesus? He is a Warrior who protects us. He is God of EVERYTHING! He is the Father of eternity and always will be. When He comes, He will reconcile man back to God. He brings the real, true peace. He has the ability to meet all our needs. When we need understanding, He is our counselor. When we need strength, He is our Source. He is the opitome of what a real father is. In the midst…
Crucified With Christ
Text: Galatians 2:20 We must die to our flesh, but we can only do it through the leading of the Holy Spirit. There is nothing we can do by ourselves. When Jesus was curcified, we, as believers, were a part of that crucifixion. We are now connected to Him. Nothing in us can set us free from anything! We can’t sanctify ourselves. The only thing we can do is cling to Jesus and have faith and trust in Him. When…
Real Worship
Text: John 4:20-24 Many times we have gotten in the way of what God wants to do. We have blocked the way God wants to move. We need to tap into what God really wants in the church and in us. God is calling us to be His hands and feet. He also wants REAL worship. He wants us to experience Him in a greater way. He wants worship without constraints. . .no more obstacles. . .no more holding back.…
