Sermons

We need a spiritual transformationin order to SEE. Human experience without the holy spirit is not profitable. Be humble like a child. The world is deceived but doesn’t know it. When we stop growing spiritually we will die.

Peter was bold, walking on water. Remove doubt – don’t waiver. Jesus served God boldly. Peter and John preached with all boldness. Examples of bible figures who acted boldly. Be sober and vigilant. Submit to God and resist the devil. Stop Satan by resisting.

Is the school of life the best teacher? Do we learn best by making mistakes? Or is there a better way? God has called us out of this world to be different, to enter into a relationship with Him that makes it possible to obey Him, thus enabling us to live a happy and productive life. The church, the spiritual body of Christ, is to teach us right values so that we can live in peace and harmony, dealing with life’s conflicts in a Godly manner.

God is Holy. God made a promise to David that his seed will last forever. God is our standard. You shall be perfect as God is – Holy. We need to reflect our Father’s personality.

Laodiceans serve themselves. They profess to serve God, but all the while they serve their “gods” of wealth, power, success, entertainment, prestige, etc. They combine a bit of truth with a lot of error. How can we be sure we are not caught up in that same mindset? This important sermon explains how to avoid becoming a Laodicean.

The day of the Lord has been well prophecied. There will be an end of everything, a time of distress and trouble. We can be hidden and protected in time of God’s anger in a secret place. Fear the Lord and have strong confidence. He will keep us safe through hour of trial. He has prepared a place for the church.

Day of Pentecost, book of Acts. Jesus enlarged the area for them to preach which started in Jerusalem – to the end of the earth. We need obedience to God before man. Wonders and signs by faith and power. Circumcision issue. The Holy Spirit guided Paul to go to certain places.

Describes the meaning of the Day of Pentecost – Feast of Harvest, First Fruits, Feast of Weeks, Wheat ingathering, count 50. First fruits of MANY. Better resurrection coming reserved for us – the elect, chosen, royal priesthood etc.

The power and sovereignty of God. Description of: glorious, grandeur, highness, superbness, divinity. We need to reflect and meditate and His majesty. Our knowledge of God is diminished in this age. Jesus Christ made it possible for us to share majesty with God.

A minister is aware of the commission and is not afraid to do it. They are men of integrity. Their message is in harmony with previous apostle and building upon it. They have a total disregard of whether the message is accepted or not. The commission was authenticated by signs and wonders.

Tyre, famous port city of Phoenicians that was fortified. Prophecy for Tyre to be destroyed and plundered. Alexander the Great and others who destroyed. Trading system in this area. Discussion of modern day Tyre and future prophecy for Jesus Christ to destroy it upon His return.

Paul wrestled with sin 25 years after baptism. Noah had to deal with evil continually. Lot had to deal with people of Sodom and Gomorrah. Don’t treat sin lightly. David took personal responsibility. We need to undertand ourselves. Discover the problems to rid and talents to use. Overcome hatred with love. Hatred stirs up strife. Love covers all sins. Deal with each sin specificaly and individually.

We can discern the blind spots with God’s spirit. Jesus came to replace and qualified at that time. He is our intercessor now and is ready to take control as King of Kings. We need the Holy Spirit to correct, repent and change direction. Stop sin in the mind. Lucifer’s sin was conceived in the mind. Keep our mind on things above no on earthly things.

Incentive – desire to come out of sin. Initiative – action requires direction. Inspiration – hope, courage. Search for spiritual leavening and use the tools with the right attitude. Points:
Never doubt God. Don’t be complainers. Search hearts daily not annually. Have humility. Respect Jesus Christ’s sacrifice. Sincerity and truth. Love your brother.

Blessed is the man who trusts in God and doesn’t put trust in man. God doesn’t lie and therefore is trustworthy. God doesn’t forsake those who seek Him. Don’t worry or be anxious about anything but rely on God’s promises. Cast your cares upon Him for He cares for you. God will strengthen your heart.
