GOD is...

Faithful - With our without you

Immutable - unchangeable, immovable...no matter what

Our sermon point are as follows:

When we talk to God...

3.) Be RELIANT

a.) Our PRAYER has NO POWER... WHO we PRAY TO has ALL POWER!

b.) Make REQUEST...But REMEMBER that the SUCCESS of your REQUEST...RELIES ON HIM!

4.) Be REDUCED

a.) God's answers to your prayers are about HIS WILL...and not YOUR WANTS

Sermon points are as follows:

1.) Allow me to re-introduce our ROLE...

2.) Allow me to re-introduce... PAIS

A.) PAIS

  • PAIS is used 24 times

  • It could be a young boy

  • Not every PAIS was a SLAVE.

3.) Allow me to re-introduce... OIKEYES.

A.) OIKETES

  • OIKETES is used 4 times

  • A SLAVE could fall under this category, but other’s who are NOT SLAVES could be under this category as well

  • Not every OIKETES was a SLAVE.

4.) Allow me to re-introduce... DIAKONOS.

A.) DIAKONOS

  • DIAKONOS is used 30 times

  • Translated 20 times as MINISTER

7 times as SERVANT

3 times as DEACON

  • A DIAKONOS has NOTHING TO DO with SLAVERY.

5.) Allow me to re-introduce... THERAPON.

A.) THERAPON

  • THERAPON is used only once

  • In the book of Hebrews denotes an ATTENDANT, or one who does the task given him by another.

  • One could be a SLAVE who is also a THERAPON, but one could also be a THERAPON and NOT BE A SLAVE.

6.) Allow me to re-introduce... DOULOS.

A.) DOULOS

  • DOULOS is used 128 times

  • In the NASB - 98 times translated SLAVE,

23 times BONDSERVANT,

4 times BONDSLAVE

1 time SERVANT

  • In MOST translations, 120 times, DOULOS is translated SERVANT.

B.) DOULOS

  • DOULOS has a much stronger meaning than just "CHOOSING TO SERVE" someone. It really means that you are BOUND to that PERSON.

  • To be a DOULOS is to say someone has OWNERSHIP of YOU.

  • They are YOUR MASTER/LORD (KYRIOS) !!!

Rock Responses are question we can reflect on and answer throughout our week.

ROCK RESPONSE #1

Being COMPLETELY HONEST with MYSELF, this week I will answer this question...

IS JESUS CHRIST TRULY LORD OF MY LIFE?

ROCK RESPONSE #2

I will take time this week to identify the AREAS OF MY LIFE that are being MASTERED by someone or something other than CHRIST.

ROCK RESPONSE #3

Going forward, I WILL LIVE in a manner that displays CHRIST AS MY LORD...

and MYSELF AS HIS DOULOS/SLAVE!
