What Is Your Mind On
Text: 1 Peter 1:13 Have you ever seen someone do something or say something and thing to yourself, “What were you thinking?” There are so many things going on today that cloud the minds of the saints. The enemy is working hard at keeping us distracted because he knows his time is short. We must stay in the Word and stay in prayer, because our lives depend on it! As believers, we’re to think a certain way. We have the…
A Description Of God’s Love
Text: Romans 5:6-8 Some people have a warped description of God’s Love. We cannot confuse God’s Love with God’s punishment for sin. The Bible says without Christ, we cannot make it. We won’t make it! When we were weak and not able to make good choices and seperated from God, Christ died for us. At the right time, God became the substitution for us. We are all incapable of getting to Jesus without the cross. God’s Love is untainted and…
Seeking To Save The Lost
Text: Luke 19:10 We know how important something is after we’ve lost it. How hard do we look for it? The human soul is the most important thing in this world. God’s intention is to seek the souls that are lost. We are valuable to Him. When we’re a REAL shepard, we care about the sheep. There has to be a change in our lives, if we say we are saved. If there isn’t, we’re not saved! We can’t keep…
God Is Faithful No Matter What
Text: Lamentations 3:18-26 Sometimes we can be so impatient. Everything is so “instant” today, we don’t value the meaning of patience. Some things we go through are to teach us. God is Faithful and Just in all that He does. Sometimes we need to stop and think about what we’re going through. It could be to humble us, help us learn patience, or increase our faith. God also comes with judgement and correction in our lives. He disciplines those He…
Staying Focused On The Mission
Text 1 Peter 5:8-9 When we’re idle, we are not focused. We are open. . .and the devil comes in. An idle mind is the devil’s workshop. How many times have we just done things on impulse? We do this when we’re not focused. . .when we’re idle. The devil never stops. He will take us further than we want to go, make us stay longer than we want to stay, and pay more than we want to pay! When…
Faith That Conquers Fear
Text: Hebrews 11:1-3 We belong to God, so we don’t have to fear anything! The one thing that destroys fear is faith. When fear grabs us and we start fighting outside of the Word of God, our faith is being destroyed. We’re trying to fight our battles ourselves and not trusting God. God has NEVER failed us! He’s ALWAYS there! We walk by faith and not by sight. Real faith is not focusing on the problem, but keeping our eyes…
What Are You Afraid Of
Text: Psalm 27:1-3 Satan loves to use fear on us to keep us bound and paralyzed. When we look at all the turmoil, the enemy steps in and uses fear as a tactic. The dangerous thing about fear is it takes us out of our Godly character. We start believing lies. Fear is a lack of faith and without faith we cannot please God. The Lord is our Hope! He is the Light that gives us direction. The Lord is…
What’s Streaming From Within You
Text: John 15:1-11 We can always tell when we’re not plugged into the Word the way we should be. We’re not where we should be in the Lord. It’s a bad place to be. Pruning is necessary! It is always done with God’s purpose in mind. All of us need to be pruned to bear fruit. Inspecting the fruit is necessary! This is an indicator of how we are really doing spiritually. When we neglect our spiritual lives, it makes…
Jesus Can Set You Free. . .For Real
Text: John 8:31-36 How many of us have been set free by Jesus Christ? What makes us free? Many people today are creating their own Jesus, creating their own Bible, and creating their own definition of truth. They are missing out on what the Lord has given us through Jesus Christ. We are getting down to the nitty grityy of things and it’s time to make the decision. . .for Christ I live and for Christ I die! No more…
Don’t Go Back-Trust God To The End
Text: Hebrews 10:35-39 How many people start out with God, but don’t end up with God? They seem to have lost their faith. Our faith comes by hearing and hearing by the Word of God. God operates by His Word and that is good enough! When God says it, we need to believe it, and that should settle it! We have a sixth sense, and that’s faith! We need to believe what God says. If we know there are things…
