As you will have already noticed by the time you see this blog entry, the site has undergone a major face lift. While everything appears different now, I believe all of the previous functionality remains. The changes were dictated by the hosting service Libsyn. They are making some major changes to their infrastructure which required some changes to be made to the web environment where the CCoGmedia web pages are hosted. The new pages should be a little more mobile device friendly also.
All previous content, including the archives from 2000 to 2010 have been moved to the new site and should be available.
There will be a few more changes as I get used to the new environment but hopefully it will not disrupt access to the sermons.
One more note of interest here, sermons may be played directly from the player on the web page or you can download them to your computer to play later. To download, click on thebutton beside the sermon.
Use the new "contact" link at the top of the page if you have questions about this site. DO NOT contact Central Church with questions about this site. Read the "About" link at the top for more info.

Topic: Defense Plan
Notes:
- Mature believers can lift up young believers.
- There are 3 punches that the Christians receive living here.
- (1) Persecution: Satan wants to get you off your mark, Be careful. Jesus came for the sin sick people. The person who rejects Jesus has no end. The end of every one’s life is death; eternal judgment. Your best day is when you live for eternity by denying yourself and follow Jesus.
- (2) Confusion: The spirit of lawlessness is already at work. Don’t be dismay. Jesus will deal with it. When under persecution God will first move you out of his way.
- (3) Discouragement: So many talk Jesus but don’t walk Jesus. Do not grow weary by doing good. Back away from people who are walking in disobedience. Leisure time increase our sin. Work for your living. Follow God’s word. Tell your family or friends when they are doing wro0ng but still love them.
- Humble yourself and seek God in this land. We need to stand together hands in hand to see the wrong in our land. God sees it all. Trust God in confusion. He will never leave us or forsake us.

Topic: Faithfulness
Notes:
- No other name like Jesus. Every knee shall bow & every tongue shall confess at the name of Jesus.
- There is power in the name of Jesus.
- Jesus has broken the bondage of sin. Who are we as his church? Who am I? What defines you? Jesus.
- Who are we in Him? This body has a soul in it. We are a eternal soul housed temporarily in this decaying body.
- Jesus has given us this body to do things in a certain amount of time.
- We done know about tomorrow. We must live exclusily for the glory of God.
- Do you have the gift of helping others? Do it with all of the energy and strength that God supplies. Everything you do will bring all glory to God.
- Nothing apart from God is good. Through God’s Grace he breathes into us his character.
- We are called to be his followers; to spread the word, you just gotta love one another, by your love to one another the world will know you re Jesus’ disciples
- If we are always tearing each other down, what does that say about our character? We are miss representing Christ when the
people who look at us says, I like your Jesus, I dislike you. Disciples mean one who accepts & assists in spreading the doctrine of another. Love people before I rebuked them.
- Proclaim the name of Jesus. We have to give up the illusion that we desire a problem free life. You are going to have trouble, but God has overcome the world.
- We are robbing ourselves of the blessing God wants us to be. We are robbing oursaelves of the grace that God wants to pour out in us & use us as that grace flows through us.
- Jesus says do not be afraid. He reaches His hand down and lifts us up.
- He has put a new song in our mouth. Blessed is the one who trust in the Lord.

- Perfect peace is when your enemy is dead. We are in God’s hands. God will pick someone no matter where you are for you to tell them about Jesus. Is there anywhere you would not go to work for Jesus?

- We must remember the peace of Christ sustains us. Don’t take your eyes of Jesus.
- The cross and the empty tomb separate us from fear.
- Our messages and mission is to tell others about Jesus. No matter where it takes us.
- No weapon formed against me shall prosper. Jesus leads us in the right path. His grace is greater than our sin.
- Perfect peace is when your enemy is dead. We are in God’s hands. God will pick someone no matter where you are for you to tell them about Jesus. Is there anywhere you would not go to work for Jesus?

Notes:
- Your adversary is going about like a roaring lion, seek whom he may devour.
- Don’t lose sight of Jesus. You will be encircled & surrounded by the devil.

- 2) When I need revenge. Anger wants to make you want revenge. You will be weary, tired worn out and discourage. This is what the devil wants you to be. He has released all of our unbelief on us. Unbelief will devour you quickly.
- 3) Unbelief – You will trust God only so far. We always think it is too hard, too little, too late.
- Nothing is too hard for God. God takes a little bit and it becomes more than enough.
- We think it is too late but Jesus is always on time.
- Jesus is the resurrection and the light. He is able to resist anger, revenge and unbelief.
- Jesus is the resurrection. Before death Jesus is a healer, after death He is the resurrection.

- Get to the place and say But my God says!!!

Scripture: Hebrews 13:11-13; Isaiah 53:3; John 3:17
Topic: Sin
Notes:
- Outside the camp is where foreigners live, Lepers live place of execution that is where the dead carcasses are taken to be buried. Jesus had to go there this is the incarnation of Jesus.
- Lepers were stricken despised.
- This is how Jesus was treated – He was sent to be executed when he knew he didn’t do anything wrong. He never defended himself. He died for us.
- Sin is damnable. It came from Adam and Eve.
- The need for the blood of Jesus is lightly regarded today.
- He who believes in Jesus is not condemned.
- Men love darkness not light. This will send you to hell.
- He who does the truth (Not Good) comes to Jesus.
- What is truth? It is confessing your sin to Jesus. You cannot fix it. Bring it to Jesus
- If you are a child of God you are no longer a sinner but a saint.
- We sin in Christian disobedience
- Power of sin – The nature of sin is so deeply rooted.
- Don’t run from Jesus when you sin: run to him
- After you are forgiven, he will show you something else you need to be forgiven for.

Scripture: Matthews 8:10; Matthews 14:22-31
Topic: Faith
Notes:
- What is your confidence in – Faith is the Christian’s word for confidence.
- Don’t put your confidence in yourself but in God.
- Two times in scripture that Jesus was amazed. Both times have something to do with faith or the lack of faith.
- In Matthews 5:8-10 Jesus was amazed that a man had more than enough faith to be heal. Jesus said that he had not seen a faith like this in all of Israel.
- Jesus was also amazed by unbelief. His family and friends didn’t believe that Jesus could heal.
- Matthews 14:25-31- The disciples were in a boat on the fiver. They saw a figure walking on the water. They were afraid, when Jesus told them it was He; Peter wanted to walk on the water to Jesus. Peter took his eyes off of Jesus, became afraid and had no confidence.
- Jesus reached out to pick Peter up as he was sinking. Jesus says ”Oh you have so little faith” Faith is not a feeling but confidence in something that is bigger than yourself.
- Faith is something God has already done.
- Success in the Christian life is when we grow in faith and not in our ability but what God has done in his ability and what He is able to do.
- It’s not about you but is all about Him.

Scripture: 2nd Timothy 1:1-7
Topic: Hope
Notes:
- Fear seems a constant problem in our modern age.
- Even though we know Jesus we still have fear.
- We fall prey to our emotions. We become slaves to our passions and a victim to our feelings.
- God does not judge our feelings but He does judge our actions.
- To mature to a grown follower of Jesus we must learn to lay aside fear and shame and pick up the banner of HOPE.
- Whatever we do to regain focus, renew hope and reject fear when things look down.
- 1) Open your heart to a Godly friend and let them in 2nd Tim. 1:1-3
- 2) Find some strong prayer support V. 3b.
- 3) Look back at God’s blessings in your past V. 5-6.
- 4) Inventory the ingredients driving your life choices V. 7
- Love - power - discipline is what drives your life choices.

Topic: Obedient
Notes:
- When your life is braided together you are strong.
- We are small branches but our sap comes from God.
- We get out life from the vine; which is Jesus.

- Our Heavenly Father is active in our life daily. My life is not my own.
- Everything I hope to be is in the Lord.
- We should always live our life to please the Lord.
- It’s all about Him.
- Our five works consist of:
- 1) God repositions the branches that does not work, V2 If you belong to Jesus you do not get to choose.
- 2) God tenderly cuts the bad fruit so we can bear the fruits He wants us to bear. When God prunes our life we are so close to
Him. Our life is not about our comfort.
- 3) God removes V6 We can get disconnected from God, He can prune us away.
- 4) God loves it when we produce. V8 Make God’s day-Delight in Him – Romans 12: 1&2

Scripture: Ephesians 2:4-7; 2nd Peter 3:18; Jonah 2:5-7
Topic: Grace
Notes:
- The grace of God is so big and beautiful.
- It is by grace that we have been saved.
- Grace saves us; transforms us; frees us.
- Grace is a relationship. In Jonah 2:5 it shows that Jonah was in a dark place. He was in the belly of a fish.
- Sometimes grace is in a dark place; not always in comfort, beauty or rest.
- Three things Grace does:
- Grace saves us – when we sin or mess up we know we have God’s pardon through the Grace of Jesus Christ.
- Grace transforms us – We live in grace. We can do nothing to earn God’s Grace. Grace is from God and is a gift of God.
- Grace sets us free – The Lord ordered the whale to spit up Jonah. Grace frees us from the past: The guilt we carry around – the shame.
- Where we have been is not important; as to we here we are going – Every new day is a new beginning.

Notes:
- Not knowing is a terrible thing

Scripture: Matthews 18:1-6; Luke 6:31
Topic: Obedience
Notes:

they wanted recognition
- V2 Jesus gave them a lesson that a child will enter the Kingdom of Heaven because
the child is humble.
- He must be told as a child to be obedient

- V6 whoever causes a child to sin: they are in big trouble with Jesus.
- V10 There are angels around these little ones, Do not mistreat them for angels always
see the face of the Father in Heaven.

Scripture: John 13:4 & 17
Topic: Service
Notes:
- After He finished his supper, Jesus got up to serve: He washed the disciples feet
- As the scriptures says: He arose to serve. We should sense an urgency to serve.
- When you serve you glorify and worship God.
- Verse 17 says you are blessed when you do the things.
- Christianity is about doing what God tells us to do; not how much you know about Jesus but what you do with what you know about him.
- When you worship: you don’t come empty handed.. You bring something. You ask “what can I do for the Lord.” Remember you cannot buy a blessing.
- Worship requires sacrifice. Sacrifice equals worship.
- We have everything we need to repent & bless the Lord at all times. Jesus says “Happy are you if you do these things”
- It is easier to just give money than it is to serve. Let others see your sacrifice.
- You will find God when you say “use me”
- What is our pattern for life? – Get up and go serve.

Scripture: 1st Corinthians 15:3-5; John 20:1-18
Topic: Resurrection
Notes:
- We know by the scriptures that Christ is alive
- His legs were not broken when he hung on the cross because he was already dead
- No one wanted his body stolen – not the guards nor the disciples
- What happen next? – Jesus appeared to Mary – when she went to the tomb and found
- That is was roll away
- Everything was left as it was. Jesus just got up and left the tomb.
- He appeared three times to the disciples
- If there is no resurrection I live in sin. There is no hope.
- When you are born again you are a brand new being.
- You can be so full of sorrow that don’t even know Jesus
- Jesus wants to know you. Jesus asks Mary why she was crying
- V 17 – first time Jesus called his disciples Brethren.

Scripture: Luke 22:15-20
Topic: Passover
Notes:
- The resurrection validated who He said He was
- The church began as a Jewish sect
- The Seder is the gospel being preached
- 4 cups: sanctification, deliverance (plagues, praise), redemption, expectation (acceptance)
- Paul boasted in his weaknesses, they kept him calling on Jesus. When we are crucified, the resurrection power of Christ is seen
- The cup of redemption is the cup Jesus prayed in the garden “let this cup pass from me”
- What are you expecting? Jesus to come again, God to deliver us, to answer prayer...
- Communion is not a ritual, a liturgy, but His body broken for you
- You are the righteousness of God in Christ Jesus

Scripture: Matthew 14:16; Proverbs 3:27-28; Isaiah 58:6-9
Topic: Servanthood
Notes:
- You can take no credit for your salvation, but after, He expects you to draw to Him
- Nothing is impossible to a believer
- If you have a need, meet a need (in someone else’s life)
- Seek and hunger, search for God and you’ll find that He is close
- If you give what you have to God, He will multiply it and you’ll have what you need
- We look at what we don’t have instead of what God can do
- Don’t ever send away the needy; everybody has something in his hand to give
- Loaves and fishes... multiplied to feed the multitude
- He’ll meet my needs when I meet their needs
- We think we do God a service by fasting; we should be freeing people, breaking bondage, helping, feeding... then healing, righteousness...

Scripture: Matthew 10:8; Acts 9:31; 12:1
Topic: Change
Notes:
- American Christians live in a bubble... a bubble blows with the wind, no stability or strength... God pops bubbles
- Every encounter with God involves a material challenge, costs you, drains, frightens
- When saved, you are given the Holy Spirit; it is not to be kept but given out...
- What you have you did not earn, so give freely, distributing Jesus wherever you go
- A really good meal (ex. Italian) becomes poison to the body after 72 hours
- If you try to hold on to this, you poison yourself
- God is a God of right now. Move on and do what God wants you to do today
- The Gadareans didn’t want to move on... were shepherds but became keepers of pigs
- When will you do something that makes you uncomfortable?
- We get nesting and resting confused... if you rest too long you begin to nest
- God is asking you to give something up or away, or to do something... are you willing?
- Everybody is being conditioned; your bubble is about to burst
- Untold blessings await people whose bubbles get popped
- A happy church is an uncomfortable church

Scripture: Philippians 2:5-11; Luke 18:9-14
Topic: Spiritual Warfare
Notes:
- The unseen powers of darkness are our real enemies
- Fight with a plan; stay with the biblical plan
- The devil wants to fight on his turf; he will upset and divide
- If I operate with pride I become a tool and victim of Satan; pride fuels evil
- Self-confidence... off limits to a child of God
- All spiritual warfare must be fought in humility and confidence in Jesus Christ
- Satan loves to divide families and churches, hates a believer as much as Jesus
- We lose battles because we get off our knees
- Satan has already been defeated; don’t give him victory
- Protect and conserve unity in the family and body of Christ; refuse to be mad, proud, or to rely on the flesh
- The tax collector and the Pharisee... he who humbles himself will be exalted...

Scripture: Hebrews 11:8-10, 13; Ephesians 1:3
Topic: Hope
Notes:
- Everything in this world is a lie; gov’t, education, many churches.
- One deception is that life is for the here and now
- Much preaching is preparing people to stay
- True faith doesn’t expect its reward in this life; the real reward comes afterwards
- Abraham died in faith.
- We will not impact the world for Christ until our hearts are in heaven
- Do you long to be in His presence? Am I settled here?
- I don’t need to worry about what I have, will get, or need. Jesus alone can satisfy
- You don’t come to Christ so He will feed you, provide for or heal, but so He can save you, fill you up... He owns you and must be approached as savior.
- When your mind and heart are in heaven, loss does not frighten you
- The aroma of the sacrifice, of obedience, the priest spattered in blood... the priest’s blessing meant something because he waited and obeyed
- When all we want is Jesus, we will begin to see real, identifiable blessings
- There is a kingdom coming; we should be after His kingdom, not things for ourselves

Topic: Peace
Notes:
- The purpose of God is that everything is for eternity
- God will not be found in the spectacular or majestic, or evident in the flamboyant
- God does not dwell in buildings made with hands; money wasted to build great cathedrals and high tech buildings that could feed the hungry...
- Once sought to be a great pulpiteer; the greatest sermons are preached in hospital rooms, the E.R., cancer ward, ICU, orphanages, courtrooms, at home
- A God of the grit, guts, and grime...
- Paul’s greatest message was in Athens when he was stirred by idolatry
- Moses met God after 40 years in the desert when God appeared in a burning bush
- We look for God in buildings, among other Christians or from the pulpit... He waits till your life is all to pieces and you don’t know what you believe anymore
- We’ve made Christianity into a western religion to accommodate our feelings and beliefs. We are desperate to be affirmed for who we are
- We don’t understand sacrifice. God wants flesh disposed of with dung... same to Him
- What we would throw away is valuable to God; what man praises is an abomination... whatever man does is opposite of what God requires
- Being a peacemaker is about dying, giving up, surrendering with nothing to prove
- You’re not a son of God because you’re a fighter. He called us to lie down and die
- There is nothing unclean of itself (tobacco)
- Walk worthy of the calling; live a life that pleases Him and stop fighting
- Walk with a perfect heart... in integrity... to please God in everything

Scripture: Ephesians 3:10-12; Acts 4:32; Hebrews 10:32-34
Topic: Purpose
Notes:
- (8:30 service cancelled due to snow)
- The living church of God should be the most joyful people on earth
- If we are thinking eternal, we begin to open up to the promises of God
- Nuclear bombs, meteors, resignation of Pope... a preview of His coming judgement
- Stand up and decide if you are a conqueror, then start living like it
- We are to display God on this earth, to be an example
- Enter God’s presence with boldness and confidence in Christ
- The church will boldly pray, witness, forgive, love one another
- We long for the presence of God, but more important is the purpose of God
- We think that feeling is presence (feeling can be manipulated)
- What part do I play in what He is doing?
- The essence of our faith is to go out... the church is a living entity, the body, a family... each member must submit to the authority above him...
- Ownership vs. stewardship... you won nothing; it all belongs to God
- Laying up treasures in heaven... you will draw from what you have invested
- This will not last anyway; what God gives cannot be taken... joyfully accept the plundering of your goods... taxes... you have a better treasure in heaven

Scripture: I Timothy 6:12; II Corinthians 4:16-18; Colossians 3:1-3
Topic: Hope
Notes:
- All of our problems are spiritual problems; all are solved in Jesus; there is no problem that cannot be fixed immediately by putting your eyes on Jesus
- We forget who we are and which world we belong to; we’re eternal people
- The synonym of heaven is reality; I’m in heaven and heaven is in me. I’m not going to heaven, I’m leaving earth... you have heaven in your heart
- We must start operating like eternal people, fight the fight of faith which is believing
- We do not lose heart. The outward man is perishing; the inner is renewed each day
- What you are going through now is no big deal because God is faithful
- What is causing you to lose heart is a gift from God... trust Him through this moment and your crown will be beyond imagination
- Stop looking at the problem; look at the eternal
- Invest in what is eternal
- The power of waiting... we tend to be workers but we need to go before God with no Bible, notebook, saying nothing but “Here I am”... no strings attached

Scripture: I John 5:4-5, 14-15
Topic: Prayer
Notes:
- God is never neutral; our being here is prompting Got to do something
- God is always listening to intercede and respond
- If you believe in Jesus Christ, you have already overcome the world
- God wants the best for His children; He’s a healer, deliverer, savior, able to do exceeding abundantly above all we can ask or think
- I don’t know His will in everything, but I know it is His will that I have confidence in Him, and ask...

Topic: Hope
Notes:
- After Jesus did what He was supposed to do, He sat down and expected His enemy to be made His footstool
- What are you expecting from the Father?
- What has become reality to you? Feelings, attitude, beliefs...
- We settle to a certain kind of life because it’s what we expect
- What I see happening is the extent of my faith and what I’ve come to know
- What a group agrees upon becomes reality
- The Christian church does not expect miracles anymore
- We need to get back to the place we expect Him to do the impossible
- Evil is displaced by the power of God; I must displace evil thoughts with truth
- We must read the scripture and believe it, replacing natural thought with spiritual truth... and my reality changes
- When I neglect to pray and read, the tendency is to believe the supernatural does not belong to me anymore
- When you confess sin to God, He forgives it
- The kingdom of God is our expectation
- Which world is more real to you?
- Obama, NRA, deficit...
- Expect faith to rise, healing to rise up, expect salvation...

Scripture:Romans 8:1; Colossians 4:6; Matthew 12:36-37; James 3:8-10
Topic: Holy Living
Notes:
- There are times when the un-condemned will feel condemned. When you sin, your heart condemns you, but He has forgiven you.
- Story: Sandra cooking, what is missing... usually salt. The one thing lacking in my spirit is in my speech... glorifying God yet criticizing people
- We are supposed to be Jesus talking, relating to each other
- Salt preserves, heals, seasons; is your speech full of mercy, favor?
- You learn more about a person by what he says about others than what others say about him
- By your words you will be justified or condemned
- Whining, griping, complaining will not change anything, but saps spiritual energy...
- Words are like nitroglycerin; they can blow up a bridge or heal a man’s heart
- Ignorance yearns to speak up, put down, ridicule, accuse... we never have all the facts
- Satan accuses; Christ intercedes. Who do you want to be like? Refuse to accuse

Scripture:Romans 8:1; Colossians 4:6; Matthew 12:36-37; James 3:8-10
Topic: Holy Living
Notes:
- There are times when the un-condemned will feel condemned. When you sin, your heart condemns you, but He has forgiven you.
- Story: Sandra cooking, what is missing... usually salt. The one thing lacking in my spirit is in my speech... glorifying God yet criticizing people

Scripture: Hebrews 1:5-6; 11:16; John 1:12; Galatians 4:6; I John 3:1-2
Topic: Bondage
Notes:
- Funhouse mirrors distort who you really are
- Who have you allowed to define you? The world? The Church? You? Moral Failure? (Doubting Thomas)
- Jesus never let anyone define who He is.
- It doesn’t matter what they say about you, even if it’s true. When Jesus saves you, none of that is a factor anymore
- I know who my father is and who I am in Him
- In the world you have to do before you are, but in the kingdom you are something before you ever do anything
- “... my beloved son in whom I am well pleased”
- Using any other mirror, you will have a wrong conception of who you are; we’re looking at ourselves through twisted mirrors
- God doesn’t define you; He identifies you.
- Now I am a child of God; I will never be fixed, but I will always be His

Topic: Relationship
Notes:
- It is possible to worship but not know who you are worshipping
- It’s easy to make God what you want Him to be instead of who He really is
- You cannot redefine God; you must know who God is, who you worship
- You must worship because you are changed and set free
- Many are involved but have never had a personal experience with Jesus Christ
- People worship God ignorantly, also frivolously... some are weak and some have died because they’ve taken communion unworthily, bringing judgement on themselves
- If you want the fullness of God, you must sacrifice something for Jesus
- Whatever you sacrifice for God He will reward you greatly for
- If we judge ourselves we will not be judged
- Some worship fearlessly, with no holy fear of God
- You will not receive comfort from the Holy Spirit if you do not fear God
- Sometimes when prayers don’t get answered it could be that sin is in our hearts... He will not hear our prayers...
- As long as we allow the accursed thing in our heart, God will not help us

Scripture: I Peter 5:10-11; Acts 9; Hebrews 5:7-9
Topic: Suffering
Notes:
- This is a Judeo-Christian faith
- Saul asked “Lord, who are you?” We must ask continually, as He will continue to reveal Himself to us
- Then Saul asked “What do you want me to do?”
- Saul was chosen to suffer; God chooses and has a plan for each; you can’t stop it
- If you do not suffer with Him, you will not reign with Him
- God will choose everything you don’t expect to work stuff out of you
- Faith is not about getting something, but about being
- There is never a time in a Christian’s life that he can be settled, calm, relaxed
- Railroad spike... heat applied, hammered into a blade
- Jesus had to be perfected through suffering
- Do you want to be delivered or developed
- The more you suffer for Christ and see His faithfulness, the more fixed on Him you become, the more settled you become

- Simeon in the temple blessed God, Joseph and Mary
- Salvation came first to the Jews, then to the Gentiles
- Jesus was destined for the rise and fall of many...
- Jesus is offensive, stirs up; there is no way to not respond to Jesus; either you’ll bless or curse Him; people are agitated, irritated

- All glory belongs to Him; He has done it all; we have done nothing
- God chose a path for you, a well-designed path, orchestrated... divine appointments...

Scripture: James 4:6; Romans 9:1-5; 11:33-36
Topic: Jewish People
Notes:
- God’s heart is for Israel; Salvation will come to Israel
- God opposes the proud; pride comes when we are ignorant of the mystery of God concerning Israel
- Jesus cannot come back until Jerusalem welcomes Him back; Jerusalem cannot welcome Him back until the church comes into its fullness
- We forget that Christianity has Hebraic roots; we have a debt to Israel
- To a Jew, Christianity is the religion of Hitler
- We need to ask God for His heart for Israel
- We need to realize the ultimate purpose of the church: to provoke Israel to jealousy
- We must be intentional about blessing Israel; we must be burdened for...
- Pray for the peace of Jerusalem

- Do you think you’re a happy person? Would people around you agree?

- The gift of Jesus fills us with joy; the future is bright and the past forgiven
- Many Christians have little joy because they’ve allowed sin to reign in their lives
- God will not hear us if we harbor sin
- You must know the scripture yourself; we read more devotionals and books about the scripture than scripture itself
- We are choked by stuff; the more we get, the more we must care for
- We don’t understand the dangers of riches; we are not happier or more productive
- Has someone come into your life that has caused fear and panic (Jonah)

Topic: Mercy
Notes:
- There is a spirit of discouragement common to the elect... we often think it is the Lord chastening when it is an attack of the devil
- Don’t ever think the Lord has abandoned you
- You cannot win this battle with your mind; it can only be dealt with in the spirit... in a quiet place the Holy Ghost can give you peace
- Sometimes you don’t feel like praying, dread it, but prayer is not a task... it’s okay to just sit and be quiet before God, let Him pull you up into His lap, sometimes even fall asleep in the rest He gives
- Praying through? You’re already through... and you already have victory
- He is with you; He is not surprised, overwhelmed or frustrated with you

Topic: Sin
Notes:
- Sin is not a mistake; it is a condition
- The greatest thing He has done for us is to deliver us from sin
- Sin no longer reigns in my life; delivered from the power, dominion, authority...
- Point of the Old Testament is to show our inability to keep the laws of God
- Ministry of death replaced by the ministry of life
- The woman was called by Jesus before she was loosed of her infirmity
- You don’t bring cigarettes, liquor, etc. to Jesus; you bring you and you cannot come until you are called
- If a man falls into a well someone has to be lowered in to bring them out
- Man fell; knows there is something better but can’t get there... why many religions
- We do not understand the depths of sin
- He’ll save His people from sin; if He makes you free, you are free indeed
- If saved, you do not want to sin; freedom in Christ is freedom to live as you should
- You fluctuate within the kingdom, not in & out of the kingdom

Scripture: Luke 2:40-44; II Kings 6
Topic: Sovereignty of God
Notes:
- If we see with the eyes of Jesus... we can pray
- As you cannot live without breathing, you cannot live as Christian without prayer
- We need people who will humble themselves and pray for the land, marriages... so God can heal them
- We don’t need to bring the world into the church but the church into the world
- All we need is prayer
- I want to see as God sees
- When you start losing the sight of Jesus, you are far from your knees
- Jesus, a 12 year old boy, left in Jerusalem... Mary and Joseph assuming... what is making you forget Jesus Christ
- We need to switch direction; don’t go by multitude but by spirit
- Turn and leave our shadows behind

- God is sovereign; rules His universe the way He pleases; does not change His mind
- He is the potter; makes vessels of honor & dishonor; what He does is right and Holy
- No matter what happens in the election, no one can alter His plan or change His will
- The church, the earth, you are the Lord’s; God will take care of you
- You haven’t lost anything if Jesus is still in your life
- We need to stop being so infected by the world; we shouldn’t think like they do
- You’re either a child of God or of darkness
- Not one president has delivered everything they promised
- In your mouth you say you’re a Christian, but in your works you deny Him
- God shall supply all
- If you get angry with the result of the election, you are not right with God
- Church is not for rallies but revival, not for politics....
- The call of the Church is to shed His light in darkness
- Heaven is not our destination but our origin
- Anything that comes from earth is bad... comes from heaven is good
- Nothing good can come out of a sinner... nothing bad our of a believer
- What is born of the flesh is flesh... of the spirit is spirit
- Walk in the spirit and you will not fulfill the lust of the flesh... God will reveal Himself to you
- All things work together for the good for those that love Him; rejoice in everything

Scripture: Ephesians 2:1-10
Topic: Victory
Notes:
- The death of Jesus is God’s greatest display of His love for humanity
- The resurrection is the greatest display of God’s power
- Jesus delivered us from sin, translating us from the kingdom of darkness to light
- You cannot overcome sin; you can only be delivered from it
- We are required to overcome the world; the victory is given through Jesus Christ
- We are more than conquerors; all things work together for good...
- He called us out and raised us up
- You are in Christ as a baby is in its mother... wherever He is, you are... or as in a submarine, protected, alive, dry
- In Christ we are victorious, un-condemned, accepted, where Christ is
- The anointing abides in you forever; it does not come and go
- One of these days He will illustrate His grace, mercy, love
- He loved us, saved us, we are His children... we are the illustration
- Everything I have is a gift from God, not by works
- We celebrate life, not death; glory only in what glorifies God
- The greatest prayer is “Lord, help me”
- You can’t get fixed and then come to Jesus. That would be by works.

Topic: End Times
Notes:
- Do not fall in love with what will not last
- The world system is wicked; every world system will pass away
- When you go after the world you will lose your soul
- Pearl of great price... the only way to be delivered from this world is to go after Jesus
- Don’t gather exclusively, proudly with Christians
- Don’t love, conform to, or abuse the world
- If the bank was closing down, you wouldn’t invest in it or expect from it
- I don’t need the world and the world has no use for me
- Use this world but do not misuse it, abuse it or become a slave to it
- Daniel and the fiery furnace... this world will ask you to bow to its system... you so what you have to do, required to fund abortion while threatened for speaking against same-sex marriage... will not speak against divorce
- How can a Christian celebrate Halloween? We’re confused
- When you vote, know what the candidate believes and stands for; you endorse what they believe and will answer to God for your decision
- Don’t condone what God has condemned
- Don’t become so well adjusted to your culture that you fit in without thinking

Scripture: John 14:21-25; Luke 22:31-33; Psalm 139:23-24
Topic: Bondage
Notes:
- Why do we think we’re ready to do great things for God? Peter thought so because he had been exposed to Jesus and what He did, but he did not understand Jesus’ mission
- An unteachable spirit always resists what the Spirit teaches
- There are only God’s ways and wicked ways; we don’t know who we are
- I need a deeper walk, an unmistakable encounter
- There is a resistance in all of us; we have not yet arrived
- The marks of an unteachable spirit:
1) when I say “unteachable spirit” you look at somebody else
2) you always have an excuse for your failures (if it failed, God was not in it)
3) you’re always aggravated with God
4) I’ve lived right, paid my dues... where is He? When you let go and let God, things change
... if they haven’t changed then you haven’t let go
5) won’t take advice... one bad decision after another
- You can love the Lord’s work and His people and still have an unteachable spirit
- When you come through this, you can help somebody else
- When there is conflict in a marriage, somebody is unteachable

Scripture: John 17:21; Romans 8:38-39
Topic: Victory
Notes:
- At the cross, God became one with sinners; proof that He loves sinners
- At salvation, you become one with God, inseparable; He in you and you in Him
- What is abiding? God will abide in you
- Religion is man defining God; Jesus sets us free from religion so we can enjoy Him
- Be perfect as the Father is perfect... David had a perfect heart... perfect is to continue, to walk in obedience; flaws, sins, stupidity are negated and finally removed
- A person who mourns may just be sad; broken is more... humility, to get up and leave it behind, repair and forget it
- The heart breaks in two ways... with sorrow, then with fresh hope
- If Christ is in me, then my past cannot keep me from becoming what He requires
- We do a lot of moaning; that is not the heart of God; get out there and do something
- Don’t do anything from the standpoint of defeat but from victory; you are not trying to get victory; He has already given victory to you

Scripture: II Chronicles 18:1-22; II Timothy 3:13; 4:1-3; John 6:66; Matthew 11:7-17; Luke 16:16
Topic: False Teaching
Notes:
- God is involved in the daily goings on in the world... as in Job, Daniel
- Jehoshaphat aligned himself with Ahab through marriage; a believer should never partner with an unbeliever, in business, marriage...
- Jehoshaphat consulted 400 prophets who lied, told him what he wanted to hear, but Micaiah prophesied the truth
- There are lying spirits and deceptive leaders today; we’re in warfare... there are too many scripturally illiterate, prayerless people
- People want to be entertained, blessed, encouraged and told to prosper while living in sin; we need a revival in our souls
- Lying spirits remove commitment, labor, discipline, holiness... from the gospel
- You cannot earn holiness, but when God give it to you He expects you to live holy
- Evil men and imposters will never tell you the requirements
- People want to be affirmed... no brokenness, repentance, hunger or thirst
- Don’t call yourself a minister if you don’t preach the word... convince, rebuke, exhort
- There is violence in the spirit world around us... the devil has targeted our families
- People complaining about choir practice during fellowship time, food on wed. night
- The sheep will pick their own shepherd to tell them what they want to hear (story of scratching the dog’s ears)

Topic: Salvation
Notes:
- Death of Ruth Storms, friend and sister in the Lord
- In every church there are people on the outskirts; they feel safe but are not saved
- There will come a day when it is all over; there will be a departure from the faith
- Some have been in church, can talk the talk, but have never committed, sin willfully (habitually), believe but are not hidden in Christ
- To be a disciple you must leave everything behind; if you do not then you have rejected the only means to salvation
- True believers stay, abide, continue
- Parable of the seed and sower... people fall away because they... do nothing, fall to temptation, are neglectful, heed to false teaching (Joel Olsteen, T.D. Jakes, Oprah, Dr. Phil), are worldly... want just enough of God but have never been broken, go back to their old religion (Judaism, Catholicism... religions of works)
- If we deny Him, He will deny us
- We must have a death bed seriousness about our spiritual condition

Scripture: Revelation 3:14-18
Topic: Faithfulness
Notes:
- Admonition to musicians (10:30 only)
- Kenya presentation (photos, video)
- Do I have the fervor I once had? Have I lost my first love?
- God is sickened when we take Him lightly
- Are you where you need to be spiritually? Guard your heart; He still wants us to be separate from the world
- As long as you care what people think, you won’t have the fervor that God requires
- Our worship is for Him; forget about the world; we win people when they see our love for Jesus
- When we don’t seek Him, we say that we don’t need Him
- Grace does not give you license to live any way you want to

Scripture: Revelation 22; Genesis 3:1-7
Topic: Scripture
Notes:
- Truth can be eroded, obscured, theorized, postponed, ignored
- God uses people who take His word seriously... Abraham, thief on cross...
- In the garden, before the fall, they were happy with who they were, but man did not take God’s word seriously... woman entertained the question of God’s authority
- The heart of sin is when I don’t believe God is looking out for my best interest and so I gotta look out for me... can’t trust His word
- Sin always occurs in the heart before the hands
- Man’s pain comes from man’s rebellion against the Word of God
- 5 blunders: lack of trust in God’s Word, lack of clarity about God’s Word, lack of practical living in light of God’s Word, lack of urgent change because of God’s Word, lack of heeding God’s Word due to feeling of entitlement

Scripture: Revelation 21-22:5; Isaiah 65:17, 25; I John 3; II Peter 1:16-20
Topic: Hope
Notes:
- God explained what He has planned for us
- We tend to focus on demise... but I love life and am surrounded by joyful people
- This is not home; the end of human history is the beginning of real life
- Heaven is a new place... something we cannot understand or know
- Previous generations were transfixed on the afterlife; we try to make heaven here
- Heaven is a prepared place... a holy city, full of activity
- Heaven is a shared place... God will dwell with us
- Heaven is a comforting place... if I don’t believe Him about what I cannot see in the future, I cannot believe Him about what I cannot see in the present
- Heaven is a family place... I will be able to love people like I was meant to
- Heaven is a bright and beautiful place... nothing on earth can prepare you...
- Heaven is a huge place... and a completed place

Scripture: Matthew 5:3;I John 4:18
Topic: Brokenness
Notes:
- The kingdom of heaven belongs to the poor in spirit
- This is the way that I am; because of the goodness and mercy of God I am accepted
- Everything is a gift from God; He designed this so we would be triumphant in the end
- Honesty is imperative; we are all attached to things of this world and addicted to things that control our attention and dominate our thoughts, become false gods... I will not conquer it
- One who is poor in spirit does not try to prove himself; we are nothing. Quit pretending and trying to impress. Recognize your flaws; you’re not fooling anyone.
- Story of ice cream... same as any addiction, it controls you.
- The poor in spirit are the least judgmental, compassionate.
- Rest in your salvation; throw yourself at the mercy of the court
- You get to heaven by trusting in the Lord with all your heart
- Thief on cross, woman caught in adultery... no repentance but Jesus forgave
- Woman who cried at Jesus feet and dried his feet with her hair... an approach to Jesus without pretense that cries “help me,” he never rejects
- When you trust, you do not fear; there is no fear in love

Scripture: Hebrews 6:13-20; Hosea 11:1-9
Topic: Assurance
Notes:
- The religious men who brought the woman caught in adultery to Jesus were more concerned with a contract with God than with the woman
- We can become consumed with our image
- We have an anchor for the soul, no matter how the winds blow, if He has anchored your soul in His word
- We’ve spent too many years trying to prove the existence of God when we should have been enjoying the presence of God where there is peace and rest
- We think we honor God by the things we don’t do
- We’re not living life to the fullest, spending our lives running from something
- Story of airport security and daughter’s underwear
- Instead of enjoying Jesus we worry that we’ve said something, done something, that we’re paying a price for something... that’s not the kind of God that saved me
- If He forgave you, you are forgiven. Quit bring it up.
- Enjoy right now. You’re not living on the edge, on probation. Don’t waste a moment. Every experience will never be duplicated
- Nothing can separate you; you are the object of His faithfulness.

Scripture: Matthew 9:9-13; Colossians 1:14-15; Ephesians 1:1-6
Topic: Evangelism
Notes:
- Jesus came to be with sinners, outcasts, scorned & rejected who’d abandoned all hope
- We can get to that place, feel we’ll never measure up, living with reckless abandon
- We are among the sinners, but Jesus came to save sinners, not to build up people who are already built up in themselves
- Realize you don’t have to fake it; you are who you are only because of what He has done; everybody knows you didn’t win all your battles today...
- Christ is victorious in my life but I am still wrestling with sin
- I didn’t deteriorate into this; this is humanity...
- Ministry is right in front of us. If someone needs help, prayer, when you act like Jesus and sit down with sinners... wherever the needy are and God has put you there...
- Holiness is what God imparts to you when Jesus comes into your life; practical holiness is what’s making us lose our minds.
- It’s hypocritical when divorced Christians stomp on and rail at gays
- We categorize sins... even the lie we told or the thought violates the holiness of God

Scripture: John 20:19-23; 13:7
Topic: The Church
Notes:
- The church is the people... anyone who believes in Jesus
- Jesus came to the Jews and was rejected; the Holy Spirit came to continue the work
- The people Jesus chose as the foundation of the church were doubting people, not brilliant or dependable; the apostles were the foundation and Jesus the cornerstone
- Righteousness is a gift from God that cannot be earned
- You are saved by accepting the gift, not temporarily but eternally
- Being filled with the spirit is not shouting, running and screaming... but peace... not animation... everyone reacts differently. He enables you to get up and keep going.
- When others are trying to figure out where the feeling is, you can know where your faith is.
- Learn to forgive or there will be no power in your prayer
- When Jesus wasn’t with them, the disciples didn’t know what to do... they got discouraged as we do today... haven’t been to a good service in a while...
- You don’t have to go anywhere in particular to find revival or power
- We get discouraged by personal failure. The closer to God you move, the more aware of your sin you become
- Jesus didn’t call them to fight for Him but to be faithful to Him
- They forgot His teaching and the joy... joy is coming.

Scripture: Revelation 3:10; I Thessalonians 1:10; 5:9; Romans 5:9; Mark 14:18-19
Topic: Faithfulness
Notes:
- Jesus has taken the wrath for us; there will be a catching away of the faithful
- The world economy will never recover; crime rate is rising; persecution is on the rise; Islam is taking over; attack on the traditional family; growing intolerance of Christianity; compromise in the pulpit... the anger of God is going to be poured out
- I am to be living soberly, righteously, godly, looking for Jesus to return
- When the church gets on tangents that insinuate Jesus it loses its momentum and joy
- Our joy is in the fact that God loves us... we cannot imagine heaven’s glory or Jesus before He became a man... what He gave up and what He became to save us
- God is greater, has greater love, patience and grace than we’ve been told... After we’ve failed and denied Him, He comes after us
- The disciples didn’t trust themselves to be loyal
- We worry about persevering. The uncertainty is part of the persevering
- Not my strength but His. Persevere when you doubt yourself
- Faith not in you but in Jesus

Topic: Faith
Notes:
- Justification is a legal term: a declaration placed upon a person, does not change a person
- When God justifies you, He hasn’t cleaned you up but has declared you not guilty, then the sanctification process starts
- God chose Israel and was responsible for everything that happened to them
- You cannot defeat your weakness; God must do it for you; He will subdue your sins
- Not to believe God is able is unbelief; a mental worm, a serpent-like gnawing, tormenting your thoughts
- You’re not sanctified because you go to church but because you stand on truth
- Prayer and reading

- We were buried and raised with Christ and should walk in the newness of life
- Sanctification: the continuous operation of the Holy Spirit to make me holy
- I should be more offended by the sin of this world; I should not get used to it
- Jesus does not forgive sin, but sinners... makes me want to live a life worthy of Him
- A believer prays, reads, and obeys scripture, loves and worships God, is truthful, goes to church, invests in eternal things
- A believer does not abuse or live a lifestyle of lust

Topic: Sovereignty of God
Notes:
- Who is man? All of our thoughts about God are human, of a little explainable God.
- God is on the throne, in control and has a plan. He is sovereign.
- I am not the center; God does everything for Himself, for His glory
- God does not consult man and is not moved by our demands or our weaknesses, but by our faith in His sovereignty
- No one works independently of the will of God
- I am in charge of nothing; we are free only within the boundaries God has placed us.
- There is nothing God cannot do.
- Politics should not divide believers; both parties are corrupt
- God’s plan is that every knee will bow
- No plan will succeed unless the Lord wills it. Say “if the Lord wills...”

Scripture: II Chronicles 7; Psalm 51:16-17; Romans 12:1-2; Hebrews 13:15-16
Topic: Obedience
Notes:
- After prayer of dedication at Solomon’s temple fire consumed the offering and sacrifices and the glory of the Lord filled the temple.
- When the glory fell, the priests could not enter... represent religion, a manmade device that becomes a substitute for a real relationship with a living God
- When you pray the glory will fill you and religion cannot get in
- Religion is as dangerous as sin. Prayer reignites a passion for God
- When we pray, we don’t act out of obligation but generosity
- Jesus became the last blood sacrifice, but we do offer sacrifices.
- David, a man of God, came to repentance, was broken hearted, felt remorse
- Sacrifice of a broken and contrite heart: not enough brokenness over sin today, too much tolerance
- Sacrifice of my body: His house, the temple of the Holy Spirit. I cannot go on sinning, doing whatever my body wants
- Sacrifice of Praise: we need to speak it. We go on trying to remedy someone else’s problem. Lay it on the altar and thank God. Don’t let it steal your joy
- Sacrifice of doing good and sharing: God delights in this and is well pleased.

Scripture: Genesis 45:5-8; Psalm 37:23-24, 28; Romans 8:28-30; II Timothy 1:8-10
Topic: Sovereignty of God
Notes:
- How long will you be mad at yourself or believe you’re being punished
- The Lord takes bad decision and turns them around for good
- We’re grieving over things we do not know, assuming things could have been different; we live under a dark cloud of “what if”
- We do not understand salvation if we think we can eternally effect our quality of life
- God knows every misdirected step, immature decision... instead of stopping these from happening He brings it all together so we see that God ordered our steps
- Because Joseph was a good man, God let him suffer so when the time came God could use him to deliver many people
- You didn’t do this; God did this
- God is involved, bringing His will to pass through us in ways we cannot understand
- Will you contest God, be angry with Him or do what the Bible says and give thanks
- He orders our steps and delights in His way; we should also delight
- You’ll never fall and be cast away or not get up
- God loves justice, will not forsake His children
- If you have believed, you are preserved
- All things (even sins) work together for good for the called; the good is in the eternal, not in a moment in the here and now... a glorified state with Jesus Christ
- When God calls you, you cannot be uncalled
- What I do does not change who I am in Christ; He is working on me

Scripture: Joshua 1:5-9; I John 3:14-24
Topic: Assurance
Notes:
- It is never God’s intent that you feel afraid or guilty
- Live with boldness, courage, optimism, joy
- Israel moving into the promised land was God telling us to move into an abundant life
- Nothing is supposed to intimidate you as a believer; fear is torment
- If you don’t believe God will never leave you, everything you do will be in fear
- You will never be able to do enough if it’s up to you
- When you ask, God delivers; you can count on His faithfulness
- We’re not saved by works of any degree at any time but by grace, the good news of the favor of God upon the undeserving
- This is about being a child of God, not a member of an organization
- Because we love the brethren, we know we are saved
- God is greater than your heart. Believe in Jesus and love one another
- Don’t let your heart, the church, an organization condemn you|
- People are bitter with the church, don’t want formality... as long as the gospel is preached, who cares?
- Church ought to be a place where you’re free, not obligated

Scripture: Ephesians 6:5-9; Matthew 7:1-3
Topic: Endurance
Notes:
- How to act when you’ve lost your freedom (bondservant)
- Whatever good you do will come back to you
- Find something to do that challenges you; discover the depths of the power of Jesus Christ in you
Story of Tully Blanchard... you haven’t worked out till you vomit
- Standing still is not biblical
- Didn’t know what a hero our dad was till he died (military records). Life is about moving on... put those days behind
- Man released from incarceration after false accusation of rape... ready to move on
- You can’t get yesterday back; don’t live in bitterness; God is sovereign. Trust Him.
- God orders my steps and my days but I determine the quality of life I have... I make the decision to be happy, to do good, to be a slave or free
- Your happiness is not dependent on your health or how people treat you, but on how much faith you have in God
- The power of forgiving and of asking forgiveness
- Be kind to people and do good works, not venomous and biting, vengeful, sensitive
- People are unpredictable, disloyal, moody, and inconsistent; I’m that way too. I’ll treat you the way I want you to treat me.
- Armies of Israel came upon a carcass and stopped and looked at it; just walk around it
- Move around what lies in your path; let nothing impede progress
- 3 things happen when you’re in Christ: birth, death and resurrection
- Forgive. Judge not: rarely do we have all the facts
- If you are strict with people, God will be strict with you; if you’re willing to give somebody a second chance, you’ll get one also
- Don’t stand still and try to straighten people out.

- Conversation with Hispanic family: How much is enough?
- You can’t do enough to get into heaven; trust only in Jesus Christ
- Someone thinks their experience should be everybody’s and so makes rules for people to follow. Traditions, rules, religion...
- Jesus came to show us we cannot do it and since we cannot, He came to do it for us.
- People teach that we have to do some things... that we could backslide and go to hell; stories of fear make people run to the altar, keep people in bondage and fear thinking Jesus won’t love them if they do wrong
- Beware of people trying to drag you back
- Works are not a prerequisite but a result of knowing Jesus
- Prayer was never given as a task to complete but a privilege, giving access to almighty God

Scripture: Acts 10:1-4; Hebrews 6:10
Topic: Obedience
Notes:
- Nervous breakdown in 1991; obeyed the Lord to give cleaning lady $$ and was healed

- Everything you do for His namesake becomes a memorial in your name
- God’s men sometimes find themselves in a hole, wandering why God won’t work, but they continue in obedience

- If you want everything you need in life, start meeting someone else’s need
- If God speaks to you to give to someone, it’s not your responsibility to figure out what they’re going to do with it; the same God speaks to me that watches over her
- God uses somebody that doesn’t feel it to help somebody who doesn’t have it
- Jesus went about doing good; do kind acts
- Our faith needs to be more practical than our mouths have been; we’re known too much for preaching but ought to be known for living it

- When adversity is choking the life out of us, we walk in faith
- You don’t have to be on top of the world to minister to the world
- We are designed to give; when we keep it we wither and become self-centered

Notes:
- Story of person talking to pastor about depression
- Pastor in deepest, darkest hole of depression... in a hole.
- If you’ve never been through it you cannot identify.

Scripture: Luke 19:1-10
Topic: Change
Notes:
- Why a sycamore tree? Every word is important... Egyptian sycamore has a fruit that, at a certain stage, is pierced by a wasp and pollinated. The fruit then releases a fluid and becomes sweet and edible. Without the piercing the fruit is worthless.
- The fruit represented what was about to happen to Zacheus: Jesus came and pierced his hard heart with the truth so out of his life could come a testimony of saving grace
- We are all hard until Jesus pierces us
- You feel that stinging and it feels like the life is running out of you...

Scripture: I Samuel 22:1-2; 30:1-6; Luke 10:17-21; 9:55-56; Isaiah 55:3
Topic: Suffering
Notes:
- How does God treat people He really loves?
- David finds himself hunted, living in a cave, joined by all who were in distress
- You will be removed from comfort, from where you think you are serving God. All you think you’ve done for Him seems forgotten, but it’ll be God that does it to you
- The things that excite us and those that excite God are miles apart
- Don’t rejoice in your ability but in that He did it for you when you least deserved it
- God put David in this situation not to teach him faith, but seasoned faith
- God doesn’t use arrogant faith. Seasoned faith doesn’t have to stomp and yell and proclaim but is a quiet, determined confidence that what God promised He will do
- Christian television and arrogant faith; youthful faith is independent faith
- Any faith that is not seasoned is presumptuous faith
- Jesus did not come to destroy men’s lives but to save them
- God let David go live with the enemy; He may let other go live with the enemy, but He doesn’t leave them there
- We turn people out, write them off... let God be God
- David was left with nobody but God; our strength must come from God.
- Sure mercies (what He did for David, He’ll do for me)

Scripture: Galatians 5:13-14; 6:1
Topic: Servanthood
Notes:
- Story: meeting couple... wife from Trinidad at dermatologist, husband at car dealer
- People think that serving and pleasing God is always praying, reading, quoting scripture, etc. and that people interrupt
- When people get between us and God, we’ve missed the whole point of serving God
- At salvation you come out of the darkness and gain citizenship in the kingdom of light and freedom
- The law of sin and death is irrelevant in your life as a believer
- Stand in the liberty but not as an opportunity for the flesh, but through love serve
- The law is fulfilled in this: love your neighbor as yourself
- People are an opportunity for you to fulfill His law
- If any man is caught (up) in trespass, restore him
- You do not know where your children will end up or what they will do
- He doesn’t just heal sick bodies, He heals broken lives
- Never trust your flesh; temptation will return; you need to be in a flock with a shepherd

Scripture: Romans 4:17-18; 5:2; 6; 7:18-25; 8:1-3
Topic: Grace
Notes:
- Jesus knows what you’re going through; He understands the weakness of our flesh
- Jesus does not see you the way you see you; He sees the completed project
- No man has an excuse or is exempt from the judgement of God, but if we have the faith of Abraham (He said it, I believe it) then we are justified and made righteous
- When we’re saved it is as though we never sinned; we will never have to give account for our sin but we must wrangle with the power of sin while on this earth
- Live right, love people and lead them
- People need encouragement, a friend

Topic: Compassion
Notes:
- Jesus was not angry. The only thing that upset Him was religion getting in between people and God.
- Jesus was broken and compassionate towards people living under the curse
- I Christianity is not compassionate and broken about sin, we are not the church
- If you’re angry at this world, you are not filled with Jesus
- People are born in sin without a choice; it will be compassion to bring people to Jesus
- People are weighed down with personal failure; God is good and ready to forgive
- We talk about the good news, but all people hear is how bad they are
- A holy God demands a holy life; if you could stop sinning you wouldn’t need a savior
- God put our sins on Jesus that we may come to righteousness in Him
- Still not what I ought to be; feel like I should be better... I don’t know who I am but I know who He is.
- I’ll never get it right but my salvation is not contingent upon my strength and ability
- Hope lies in the fact that He was God’s perfect gift and what He did was eternally sufficient; take your eyes off yourself and look at Jesus
- Addiction... God still loves you and will help you.

Notes:

- Worship, praise and pray... serve Him no matter what comes my way
- At some point you’ll have a theological crisis: a conflict of what you’ve known and what you’re hearing from God (as Abraham when God told him to kill Isaac-Abraham trusted God)
- God never contradicts Himself
- Joseph honored God yet went to prison; Job obeyed yet lost everything
- There are time I don’t have joy

- We forget to consider human emotion in our walk with people and with God
- Do you believe God can help you... has His mind on you?
- Often we have a wrong image of God... as employer (works), coach (performance), drill instructor, teacher, discontented spouse... the only image you need to have of God is that of a Father, not only loving but involved
- Don’t rejoice because devils are subject; rejoice that your name is written in heaven

- We are not to be angry with the world but broken hearted; He wants to see people come to the knowledge of the truth

- He is more than the sum of the parts, more than the gifts He gives
- Our joy, not His, is affected by our dependence on Him
- He is more than a healer or a giver of good things
- If anyone opens the door and invites Him in He will enter into relationship; in Him you may have life

Notes:
- Fads in the church: back masking (to prove Satan is in the music industry), angels (Charles & Francis claimed Gabriel set up headquarters in their home), y2k, cursed items in your home (devil can’t live in my home-sanctified by believers within)
- Focus to be on Jesus; am I into something that distracts me, in spiritual ignorance
- In Him are hidden all treasures; so simple a child can understand
- Do I have to choose between Jesus and fun, interests, hobbies... no. He chose me and I am in Him. We do everything together.
- Christ walks with you even through weaknesses and sin
- Will not get to place we do not sin, but to the place that when we do we turn back to Him in repentance; it does no good to make resolutions
- God is better than you’ve been taught; get your mind off you

Scripture: John 1:1-5; 17:21-23
Topic: Focus
Notes:
- Fads in the church: back masking (to prove Satan is in the music industry), angels (Charles & Francis claimed Gabriel set up headquarters in their home), y2k, cursed items in your home (devil can’t live in my home-sanctified by believers within)
- Focus to be on Jesus; am I into something that distracts me, in spiritual ignorance
- In Him are hidden all treasures; so simple a child can understand
- Do I have to choose between Jesus and fun, interests, hobbies... no. He chose me and I am in Him. We do everything together.
- Christ walks with you even through weaknesses and sin

Notes:
- The full comprehension of love is only possible by those who know Jesus
- Adam in the garden put in the role of leadership/headship
- The kindness of God gave everything to them except the fruit from one tree

- Adam blamed Eve (and God); Eve blamed serpent... story of planting Christmas tree without a root ball. We need to take responsibility for our own actions
- There are consequences to sin but Jesus gave us hope

- Eden was not destroyed; eternal life is to be restored

Topic: Jesus the Son
Notes:
- When we get to a simple understanding of who Jesus is instead of focusing on all He’s done, we can have a better relationship with Him
- If anyone opens the door to Him, He will come
- He removed the barrier (tore the veil) that separated us; He wants to fellowship
- Religion separates us from Jesus; story of student missing chapel, getting demerit
- Mormons, Muslims, etc. in bondage rather than discipline
- Serve the Lord with gladness, not out of bondage; He came to serve me
- Religion tries to stitch the curtain back together; Satan founded religion
- Before you get into Bible study, deep prayer... let’s eat; stop trying to impress
- Jesus loved and cared for people closely, not repulsed by
- Repentance is not beating oneself down... I’m sorry and go on; taking up cross is not self-hatred; humility is not self-loathing; brokenness not a deflated existence
- You won’t let Him in because the house is dirty; example of organizing closet
- Don’t let the mess keep you from opening the door; the mess doesn’t bother Him

Scripture: I Peter 5:6-9
Topic: Spiritual Warfare
Notes:
- Pornography in the church; families falling apart
- Our enemy is not flesh and blood but people are being used; spirit of lust taking over
- No conviction anymore. We think “He’ll forgive” instead of fighting the good fight
- The Church is intact; the blood of Jesus still has the power
- Take up your cross and fight in the power of the Holy Spirit
- The devil highlights the negative but Jesus is still greater
- The difference in surrendering and giving up; surrender to Jesus and cast your cares...
- Wake up. Kids are inquisitive. Your kids may be good but still have the sin nature
- Make the decision... this home is a holy place. Be vigilant
- The adversary is roaming, seeking someone he may devour... week, tired, sick...
- Depression is a sickness. Sin messed up the whole body
- We’re guilty of having our own revival while looking down on others
- The Devil can only work where he has permission
- Stay on your knees, in the Bible and in fellowship
- Resist the devil in the faith (in Jesus); Jesus has given you all you need

- The tide is turning against Israel but they are still in God’s hand
- The Church and Israel are two different entities: Israel is the wife of God and the Church is the bride of Christ
- Replacement theology is wrong; we’re grafted in, included but have not replaced
- Look at things through the holy scriptures
- Israel condemned by U.N. We tell them to restrain themselves...
- Israel is an unholy nation, but we’re looking at the call of God on the people
- Terrorism doesn’t discriminate. Islamist thinking is from hell

Scripture: II Timothy 1:6-7
Topic: Fear
Notes:
- Sometimes you have to stir things up in your own life or fear will enter
- We are to tell people the gospel then make disciples
- Christians are afraid they will fail God or someone else... fear going to hell... so they play it safe...
- If you’re afraid God won’t keep you then you have more faith in your own ability
- There will be some casualties but live aggressively
- No enemy is bigger than Jesus inside of me
- The spirit of fear will cause you to over prepare
- Soldiers behind enemy lines, given only what is needed
- We become heavy laden with knowledge, answers... we have it all planned out
- We get more upset by cursing and smoking than the world going to hell, injustices
- We are close minded, self-centered; the spirit of God will take you where it is dark and dangerous

- People followed Jesus because there was something exciting and unique
- There’s not enough Jesus in our Christianity
- “Text message from heaven”... a dead message with no personality
- The Jews had a hard time accepting Jesus as God; we struggle seeing Him as a man
- What if He’s not like anything you’ve been taught
- Water into wine at wedding feast...
- Some say it wasn’t like wine of today: you’re missing the point, more churchy than spiritual, you’d rather defend personal conviction than let scripture speak for itself
- Jesus comes to add a new dimension to things we’re supposed to be enjoying
- Jesus is not who you thought He was; didn’t die so you could barely get into heaven but so you could march into the gates with His victory
- You don’t gradually get saved; at that moment you get all of God
- Ask Him and you will see His glory

Scripture: Acts 14:19-23
Topic: Endurance
Notes:
- We are not supposed to be a monotonous people; life is a ferris wheel
- Paul was stoned and left for dead and the disciples gathered around him... this is why you should go to church... you cannot fight the devil alone
- The enemy tries to isolate you then persuades others that you are the enemy
- The Devil does not have authority; he is limited by God
- The more you seek God, the more a threat you are to darkness; you will be chased, attacked, accused
- Rejoice. Your reward in heaven is great; sometimes you must encourage yourself
- Jesus is my inheritance; all of His children get all He has
- You’ll spend your life fighting; don’t get weary in well doing
- I die to myself to give to my children; we die so Jesus will be evident to others
- Your labor in the Lord is not in vain

- Faith is obedience; obedience proves faith, brings blessing
- If you don’t follow in His footsteps, you don’t have faith
- Christianity is a matter of knowing Jesus and obeying what He told us to do
- The fruit of the spirit is not individual fruits but one fruit with many attributes
- If you lack one part of the fruit then you lack them all
- We like to apply only parts of God’s Word but we must take all of Jesus and all of the Scripture to walk in obedience
- We mistake excitement for acceptance because we feel good (in church)
- People walking in sin but acting like Christians; there is a reason we live in defeat
- When divorce is common in the pulpit we have lost our authority to condemn the gay community
- God set boundaries for our own safety, benefit, blessing
- We compartmentalize sin; sin built you this way but He made a way out
- God is with you wherever you are; God was with Joseph in prison, falsely accused

Scripture: John 10:10; Deuteronomy 30:19; 2 Peter 1:5-6
Topic: Choices/Decisions
Notes:
- The enemies objective is to steal from you, to destroy and to kill, to take the life out of your faith and put fear in your heart
- Jesus came that we may have life more abundantly; your life can be better

- I am responsible for the condition I’m in right now

- A lion has to fight flies all day long. It’s part of being alive

Scripture: Luke 9:12-17
Topic: Brokeness
Notes:
- Feeding of the 5000; Jesus took the boy’s fish and loaves, blessed, broke and multiplied it

- If we are blessed we will be broken; there is no multiplying without breaking
- We are not here for ourselves but as part of the family of God
- Singers, preachers... know when they are good. God will break them so they can become a vessel to be used
- Nothing turns out the way you thought it would but God will take care of you
- During the process people question and compare themselves to others... we fail to see God’s hand in it
- God’s ways, plans and timing are different for everybody
- What are you carrying into 2012?

Topic: Endurance
Notes:
- Crisis changes us into what God wants us to be, not for ourselves but for others
- We will face things we do not like that do come from God
- Catalytic converter metaphor; crisis acts as a catalyst to convert poisons in your life into something that will help your brother
- The more you suffer, the more compassion you will have for the suffering
- When crisis converts you, it will rid you of competition, arrogance...
- Peter denied, then wept bitterly at the realization of what he was really about
- We become battle weary, we go back and forth; Paul wrestled to do good...
- After battle a man has a surge of testosterone, makes him do stupid, dangerous things
- After a spiritual battle it is dangerous to let you guard down; you have a sense of arrogance, are tired, make bad decisions you may regret the rest of your life
- Without the catalyst of a crisis we let our guards down and end up weeping bitterly
- But Jesus didn’t give up on Peter; He already knew he would deny Him

- When something isn’t right we want to blame someone; don’t blame, trust God
- Sometimes God lets things happen so he can turn it around for His glory
- Jesus healed blind man on the Sabbath; the people did not rejoice but took him to the Pharisees... religious rule more important than the miracle or the person
- Have we dismissed people trying to protect our church and identity... have we dismissed people because they didn’t change, understand, or bear fruit immediately?
- We have to be so trusting that we become vulnerable in order to accept people; soul winning will cost you something

- Christianity is about going after people

Topic: Fasting
Notes:
- Books on fasting... if you fast then don’t make a big deal about it
- Christianity turned into an industry; sacred turned into merchandise
- How arrogant of a human being to try to change God’s mind
- Fasting has become a tool to strong-arm God to move in our direction
- Biblical fasting is to find out what it is God wants you to do
- Preachers today are demanding-certain car, hotel, kinds of water... picked up and escorted, not to be bothered by anybody
- God wants you to live a balanced, moral, Christian, dedicated, spirit filled life... at times God may move on you to fast to humble your soul, not to get power
- God won’t honor what you do if you don’t have a relationship with your family
- Obey God, love one another, help those who cannot help themselves
- When you do what he tells you to do then you shall call and the Lord will answer
- Live right, tell the truth, love the Lord, love your wife & family, pray, do the right thing and you will be healthy

- People are in the pit needing answers
- God hears when you call; don’t be afraid
- Pit: miry clay-quicksand you cannot get out of yourself. Also where human refuse is thrown... prophets were thrown into.

- God already knows what you’ll pray and has the answer on the way
- Who He sees in secret He will reward in public
- God loves to hear you pray
- When He does answer it will be for His own pleasure
- God will not fail or disappoint you
- Prayer is not a waste of time; prayer is an act of faith
- When we pray according to His will, He will; pray from a standpoint of victory

Scripture: Acts 20:24; Galatians 1:6-8; 5:7; Ecclesiastes 12:13-14; Micah 6:8
Topic: Focus
Notes:
- If your cause is not Jesus alone then you have lost your focus
- Something will arise to snatch our attention away from Jesus
- Your faith is not supposed to be complicated-you’ve lost focus
- Happiness is in the grace of God alone; you’re missing the joy of the journey
- People get bent out of shape over current events, gays, liberals...
- People don’t want what you have; Jesus gives peace and joy
- Don’t be satisfied with a little
- When first saved there was only one book that mattered; I wanted Jesus, was praying and reading, not looking for another rally or seminar
- Christian authors don’t agree with one another
- We substitute study for prayer
- Authors write but have no experience with people
- Most scholars are deficient in prayer; knowledge puffs up, love builds up
- It doesn’t really matter when Jesus is coming back: live right and love God
- Know Him not so I can prove a point but to live in the power of the resurrection

Scripture: Isaiah 30:18-20; 64:4-5; John 11:15
Topic: Waiting on God
Notes:
- God will never adjust His timing to your life or prayer
- Prayer is not to get God to do something but to allow Him to do something in you
- Wait for Him as He waits to bless you
- “water of affliction” and “bread of adversity” to make you depend on God
- God waits till we’re at the end of the road with nowhere to go
- God waits but is never late
- As long as your prayers have a deadline they are fleshly prayers
- Waiting room of doctor’s office... just because you made an appointment doesn’t mean you’ll be seen when you think you will
- God acts for the one who waits for Him
- You will never understand the ways of God
- God does everything according to His own will
- Surrender, trust God; you’ll have to turn off the TV, make some sacrifices

Scripture: Romans 2:11, 28-29; 9:6-7; Acts 10:34-35; James 2:1-9; Matthew 25:35-46
Topic: Evangelism
Notes:
- God shows no favoritism; whoever calls on His name is accepted
- Our calling is to preach the gospel, make disciples; if you do not share Jesus then you do not have the Holy Ghost
- We are not to love one group more than another; we cannot choose who to give the gospel to; anybody who needs my help is my neighbor
- Jonah hated the Ninevites; God’s love is not up to you
- The Jews felt they were the chosen of God and would not associate with anyone else
- Unbelieving Israel hurting believing Arabs; I don’t have to support an unrighteous nation: nations and governments are called to support Israel, not individuals
- When you are chosen you proclaim the light, obey and serve God (apostles)
- You must be born again; not a Jew who is outwardly but inwardly
- Margaret Gaines excerpt on rebuilding the temple
- Serbs, in the name of Christianity, murdering Bosnians who never heard the gospel
- People so happy about Jesus but disinterested in people without Jesus...

Scripture: Genesis 6:5-12, 22; Matthew 24:36-39; Hebrews 11:7’ I John 3:1-3; Romans 1:18
Topic: Obedience
Notes:
- We are living in days just like those of Noah; these are signs of the times but nobody knows the day or hour; live as it could happen at any moment
- We ought to be in church, ministry, the Word, prayer; don’t get loose or comfortable
- Godly fear is lacking in the church today
- Noah prepared, built and preached. Preparation is constant.
- We get used to disobedience then can’t figure why we can’t get a prayer through
- We must be obedient; stay in preparation.
- Obedience condemns the world, not in a hateful, self-righteous way (Christians at the gay pride parade). That’s not Jesus.
- You can’t hide being a Christian in the world; living right exposes sin.
- Christians have mixed into scripture philosophy, religion, evolution... faith(s)... there is only one body, one spirit, one faith. Everything else is religion or cult
- Without Jesus you will die and go to hell
- Science should not be necessary to validate your faith; it’s true because God says it.
- Through scripture, God gives insights into any question you can ask... creation, origin of man, races, etc.

Scripture: Lamentations 3:25, 26, 28; John 6; Habakkuk 2:2
Topic: Waiting on God
Notes:
- Testimony: Lisa Starnes
- We don’t know how to wait past the mental struggle, feelings, the temporal...
- Waiting on God is difficult but brings the greatest reward
- Division of the tabernacle: outer court, inner court, most holy place
- Too many live in the outer court, some live in inner court, only a few go deeper...
- Disciples who heard Jesus say “eat my flesh, drink my blood” went away; 70 worked for Him, 12 walked with Him, 3 worshipped Him, but only John waited on Him
- Do I just want to work, walk or worship or can I be so close I can feel His love, peace, calm, assurance
- You can’t make God work; can’t make yourself grow in Christ; He grows you
- Those who wait on the Lord are never disappointed, they hear from Him, have faith and have shown great faith
2011-09-04-1030 Pastor Loran Livingston is the speaker this morning September 4th 2011 in the 10:30 service.
Scripture: Colossians 3:1-4; 2:3; I John 4:15; John 17; Psalm 83:3
Topic: Assurance
Notes:
- Man was designed to trust God; after sin entered, man began to rely on feelings first, doubting the facts
- Sin is processing your life through your senses
- Our first reaction to a problem is to try something; should be to trust something
- Feelings are the most sinful thing, the most unreliable factor in human existence
- God does not react to feelings; He is moved by faith
- Salvation is not a feeling; we’re saved by grace through faith
- Regardless of feeling we must believe we are saved
- Feelings have nothing to do with your relationship with God
- God sent the savior, then gave you the power and faith to go to Him
- Every gift from God is eternal; salvation is eternal
- We are the Father’s gift to the Son; the Son is the Father’s gift to us
- We can never change who our parents are; your heritage is in your blood/DNA
- We are hidden in Christ and Christ in the Father

2011-08-28-1800 Pastor Loran Livingston is the speaker this evening August 28th, 2011 in the 6:00 service.
Scripture:I
Topic: Prayer
Notes:
- We ask for small things; God delights in giving to His children
- If we ask in faith, we can expect God to do something
- We become more enchanted with the written than the Living Word;
- More intellectual than spiritual; obsessed with the future while wasting the present
- I want to finish my years pastoring as I started, on my face and caring for the flock
- Are we limiting God? We know with our minds, but our hearts can go beyond anything our minds can imagine; guard your heart
- Israel limited God... comfortable with what God had already done, but not with what he could do, never expecting a miracle
- We ought to be asking for what sounds preposterous
- We pray for what we think we need; God knows what we really need and wants to bless us with His goodness
- We ask God for childish things and then run on; we need to wait on God
- Praying & studying is a means to a relationship with God, but can get in the way
- Until we wait patiently we will never know the secrets He has in store...
2011-08-28-1030 Pastor Loran Livingston is the speaker this morning August 28th 2011 in the 10:30 service.
Scripture: I John 1:8-10; 2:1-2
Topic: Sin
Notes:
- Sin is why Christ died; man disobeyed God, trying to draw life from something other than God and man’s spirit died
- Emotions and feelings now control man; the human race is confused & twisted
- On the cross God reconciled man to God; we are new creations, living by the Spirit and in the sanctifying process
- Eternal salvation: He started it and He will finish it; your condemnation is removed forever but temptation remains
- Example: hurricane Irene... power and dominion (of sin) gone but influence remains
- Temptation is a proof that I am saved; it’s not my fault that I’m tempted but I have the power to not give in
- Some think they don’t sin... thinking of sins of commission (obvious sins), but sins of omission remain, not doing the good we know to do
- Not praying for our President and other authoritative leaders is a sin of omission
- When you sin, don’t stare at it; it came out of your heart but don’t grieve too long over it; run to Jesus
- The enemy wants to keep you from God’s forgiveness as long as possible; the longer you wait, the longer your relationship with Jesus will be disrupted and disturbed

Scripture:I Chronicles 16:8-10; Hebrews 10:19-23; 13:5-6; Matthew 18:18-20
Topic: Prayer
Notes:
- Prayer is the most powerful thing we can do on this earth, a connection to the supernatural that always makes something happen
- “If you ask anything in my name I will do it”... the integrity of God is at stake
- When we pray we have little expectation for a result; we pray out of Christian obligation... our faith decreases and there is no joy when we pray
- We ought to rejoice because we get to seek the Lord God answers prayer
- We don’t talk enough about what God has done in our lives
- Sometimes we get so fascinated with the written word that we miss the relationship with the Living Word; the written word points us to the Living Word; the Living Word makes the written word come alive
- You don’t deserve what God has given you but He gave it to you by grace and expects you to walk in with boldness in the authority of the shed blood of Christ
- Be content with what you have
- What you bind/loose on earth is bound/loosed in heaven
- When two agree it will be done; when two or three gather I am in their midst
2011-08-21-1030 Pastor Loran Livingston is the speaker this morning August 21st 2011 in the 10:30 service.
Scripture: John 8:56-59; 16:24; I Corinthians 1:30-31; Micah 7:18-20
Topic: God the Father
Notes:
- There is no limit to what God can do; “Before Abraham was, I AM”
- God will not let you define who he is
- Jehovah means “I AM”
- The ever present one; eternity has nothing to do with time; God doesn’t deal in the past; God is the eternal present
- Where there is sorrow, misery, heartache, suffering, confusion... there is Jesus
- God longs to help us; He is waiting on the invitation
- I AM that I AM... nothing breaks that eternal circle except human need; He becomes whatever you need
- Because of God you are in Christ Jesus; God made Jesus to become sin so that we could be righteous
- Man wants to take credit for his salvation; Glory only in God
- It pleased the Lord for us to ask Him for things
- God is not surprised by your sin; some have committed such sin that they don’t know where they are with God... God understands; as long as you call on the name of the Lord, there is cleansing
- It’s not about feeling anything but about trusting what He said

Scripture: Philippians 2:12-14; Ephesians 2; Mark 7:15-23; I Peter 3:1-4, 7
Topic: Salvation
Notes:
- A sinner is a prisoner born in prison; has never known freedom; controlled by Satan
- Unless the spirit of God invades, you will never be released
- No human has ever been free; there is no such thing as free will; you always choose within the confines of what controls you
- When Jesus sets you free you become His slave; either working for God or the devil
- When first saved, you still think like a prisoner... you think God is interested in visible sins, then start comparing yourself to others which always lowers God’s standard... eventually we see it’s about the condition of the heart
- Husbands and wives don’t preach to one another. Wives submit; husbands honor...
- We have trouble leaving people alone and letting God work it out
- Work out your own salvation with fear and trembling

Scripture:Hebrews 7:23-25; Luke 22:31-32
Topic: Prayer
Notes:
- Satan requests permission to attack certain people... sifted as wheat.
- God does not deliver us from every tragedy but He stands with us
- When He calls you home you might as well shout and go
- Jesus is praying for you
- Jesus is prophet, priest and king
- God has heard your prayers
- Pray with confidence; come to God with boldness
- The Holy Spirit is there to help you pray, to pray through you
2011-08-07-1030 Pastor Loran Livingston is the speaker this morning August 7th 2011 in the 10:30 service.
Scripture: Hebrews 12:1-2; John 17:11, 15, 20-24
Topic: The Gospel
Notes:
- Before anything else there was God; Father, Son and Spirit... time would be created, a cycle. The fall of Lucifer was known, as well as of man. The father devised a plan...
- The Old Testament is the first part of God’s revelation, showing man’s inability to redeem himself
- Jesus is everything; Jesus prays for all believers; we are one in Jesus; the victory of Jesus is ours
- Besetting sins... keep falling, repenting, repeating... we blame God for not helping, get obsessive to stop but can’t do it... not enough will power.
- He didn’t come to make you strong, but for you to die, give up; we can’t do anything without Jesus
- Every failure is due to a lack of prayer; we cannot live a victorious life without a prayer life; we cannot make it without the word of God

Scripture:Matthew 7:1-5; I Corinthians 4:1-5
Topic: Prayer
Notes:
- Prayer is the most powerful and accessible thing we can do on earth
- Prayer is not just a means to get something; it is a means to know God
- God is concerned about changing things in you, not around you; prayer helps us see things in us that are not like God
- What hinders prayer: unbelief, sin, a man disrespect his wife... how we treat people
- You cannot be any closer to God than you are to your wife
- God honors obedience
- Judge not lest you be judged...
- Story: man on subway with two children out of control... you don’t know what is going on in people’s lives
- We don’t even understand our own heart
- The more broken we are, the less critical we’ll be; the more filled with the spirit, the more compassion we have
- The merciful will obtain mercy
- I don’t have anything to defend... I have done what I’m accused of in some way
- We are here by the grace of God, accepted through Jesus Christ
- Christians think they are to be the enforcers... but should be the examples
- The only thing that matters in this world is people
- Story: a pastor in a doughnut shop buys a b-day cake for a woman...

Scripture: Hebrews 12:1-2; Psalm 42
Topic: Focus
Notes:
- If I’m troubled, discouraged, afraid, anxious then I’ve stopped looking at Jesus
- He started your faith and will continue your faith; keep your eyes on Jesus
- David talking to himself; we let our old selves talk to us (things of the past, defeat, misery), the new self must talk back
- Old self will say you’re not even saved, backslidden... you cannot lose your salvation!
- When I need it most God stands up in my life and delivers me from my destruction
- Crying out and deliverance always go together
- You cannot look at your problems and be victorious

Scripture: Exodus 33:18-23; 34:5-7; John 17:5; I King 8:56
Topic: The Gospel
Notes:
- The cross of Jesus Christ is the best and the worst thing that has happened on earth
- Conversation between Moses & God: Moses says “show me your glory.” God says “My goodness will pass before you.”
- The apostles at the cross saw the glory of God
- When we don’t understand the cross, we don’t understand our need for Jesus
- God’s goodness is His grace; God’s glory is His grace
- Jesus represented us on the cross; God turned His back on our sins
- God will not clear the guilty; without repentance, men will be rejected by God
- When we repent, we are forgiven for yesterday and tomorrow
- Vision walking through garden with Jesus; He points out what must be removed
- Don’t glory in anything other than Christ
- A sinner rejects Jesus; a sinning saint neglects Jesus
- We have the sin of prayerlessness; when we don’t pray our hunger for scripture evaporates; we should believe when we pray...

Scripture:Philippians 1:29; II Thessalonians 1:4-5; I Peter 4:12-14; Isaiah 51:1; I Kings 6:7; Romans 8:18
Topic: Suffering
Notes:
- Every Christian suffers
- It is denial of the scripture to say that if people are really walking by faith they will not suffer
- We do not see as God sees
- Suffering granted to us by God is proof that we are God’s
- God is sovereign
- The devil only does what God gives him permission to do; the devil has become the means by which our faith is increased
- Stone quarry... where stones are hewn out of rock; the father is cutting...
- Press toward the mark
- Sometimes we suffer that the glory of God might be manifest
- Don’t waste your sufferings by complaining, quitting, running... praise Him for it... tell Him to make you a willing vessal
2011-07-17-1030 Pastor Loran Livingston is the speaker this morning Juy 17th 2011 in the 10:30 service.
Scripture: Ephesians 3:14-19; Lamentations 3:19-23
Topic: Assurance
Notes:
- We must be solidly planted in the love of God
- God’s love is everlasting and unconditional
- Isaiah said “woe is me”... as we discover we are not what we want to be... we must understand we are saved and God is working things out of us... it is painful
- If you don’t have a parallel revelation of the love of God, you’ll be a hopeless person
- Paul addressed himself first as least of the apostles, then least of the saints, then chief of sinners; personal evaluation of self will not improve but your love and appreciation for what He did for you will
- When we get weary we are vulnerable to the attacks of the devil
- We couldn’t love Him; He loved us first
- He forgives and will love you, build you up, bless, protect and provide for you
- We are saved by grace and kept by the power of the Holy Spirit
- The prodigal son was forgiven before he even spoke his repentance
- Spiritual assault like never before... every past sin brought back... remorse, guilt and fear... compulsion to repent until I almost lost my mind... this did not come from God
- Satan lies about the nature of God: says you are not forgiven, that you will never be free, that you must try harder, that you’ve blasphemed the Holy Spirit, and that God has lost patience with you
- God is not a punisher; He chastens us to pull us back to Him as His child
- What was begun in the spirit cannot be completed in the flesh
- A blasphemer does not want God

Scripture: Hebrews 2:17-18; Mark 9:36; 10:46-52; Psalm 51:1-3
Topic: Mercy
Notes:
- God is merciful and full of compassion; we get judgmental towards people
- People don’t know better; we didn’t either and Jesus had compassion on us
- God saw people being bullied by the devil; we are helpless without God
- You are not in control; we are either controlled by darkness or by light
- God saw the helplessness of the people, like sheep without a shepherd
- Blind Bartimaeus by the roadside begging
- Sometimes we feel like Jesus is passing us by; He will not pass you by... He will not ignore your plea
- We begin to live with sins that easily beset us; we get comfortable with them and they begin to hinder our prayers... we must examine ourselves
- Don’t maximize sins either, thinking you’ve sinned such that you are hopless
- We talk too much; need to lay our tongues on the altar
- Maybe I don’t have enough compassion
- Love your neighbor as yourself
- We need new conviction about the junk we watch on TV... it will destroy desire for spiritual things and numb our sensitivity to right and wrong
- God doesn’t want your sin to always be before you; forget those thing behind

Scripture: I Kings 18
Topic: Prayer
Notes:
- Elijah on Mount Carmel faced 450 prophets of Baal... built an altar to God and they an altar to their gods.
- If God is God then serve Him; if Baal is god then serve him
- Elijah prayed and God answered by fire
- God want to answer when we pray; why are our prayers so many and answers so few?
- If we are truly where we need to be with God, doing what we are to be doing, shouldn’t we expect God to move when we pray?
- If the altar needs repair then nothing else works; if it isn’t cared for it will deteriorate
- Maintain the altar of the Lord on a daily basis or there will be no answer
- We must remember who we are in Him, gather the people, repair the altar, make time to pray... it must be the #1 priority in my life.

Topic: Victory
Notes:
- David & Goliath
- Every day I must go back down to the valley and face Goliath
- I will not be able to win this battle with Saul’s armor (worldly weapons)
- If you have not first been in the presence of God, Goliath will look bigger...
- What does your giant look like?

- Everything Israel did was dependent on Goliath... fear
- Learn how to confront Goliath
- You do not have to be afraid or lose every day

- The enemy cannot keep you from praising God who brings you victory

Scripture: Luke 15:6-10
Topic: Celebration
Notes:
- The prodigal son’s real sin was that he was living without a relationship with his father; he valued only what he could get from his father
- The same spirit that rose Jesus from the dead abides in you
- Lay your burdens down and enjoy the party Jesus is throwing
- Prodigal son left home to party... at first this is fun but it will destroy you; his father threw a better party on his return
- Weddings... dancing with daughters... what’s wrong with dancing when we celebrate?
- Christians are afraid to celebrate, that someone will see or talk about...
- Other cultures celebrate; they don’t have the inhibitions we have
- Celebration ought to be commonplace every time we get together
- As a child asked “how come they have all the fun?” Answer: “they don’t have what we have.” But what do we have?
- The world does not want what they see of us... we have to show that we have something they wish they had
- You may be away from God drawing nearer, or near to God drawing away

Scripture:
Topic: Hope
Notes:
- God is infinitely wonderful... always working to bring people into the kingdom
- Jewish man saved, cut off from family to later find sister has been completed (saved)
- We think God will move stronger if we are more confident
- The Spirit prays through us with groanings when we don’t know how to pray
- Some think it’s a treat for a Pastor to get a message every week... I sometimes want to give up or do something else... then I give the message and the altars fill up...
- God is able to do beyond us (the power of Jesus inside of)
- Some of the greatest moves of God come from people who feel like they’ve failed, didn’t communicate....

Scripture: Matthew 16:13-18; Romans 3:9-18; Psalm 103:10-14
Topic: Jesus the Son
Notes:
- The root cause of our world’s trouble is sin. One solution: Jesus
- How we should view unsaved: under domination of Satan, sick, crippled, blind, dead, wicked, angry... they can only act out their condition
- For the church to hate sinners is to miss the heart of Jesus
- We know we are the body of Christ when we cry about the condition of sinners and long to help them come to the saving knowledge of Jesus
- When saved you have been drawn by the spirit and a process begins
- Now you have another enemy who is focused on your demise
- None have sought after God... He chose you... “follow me”
- We’re trying to get people to follow the church... instead we must create an interest in Jesus by the way we live
- Go where they are... they aren’t coming where you are
- Know what you believe of Him, not what someone else says they believe
- We’re trying to get people to come to Jesus, not straighten them out
- We’re trying to figure who is in and who is out... it’s not our business
- People don’t get fixed perfectly right away
- He has not dealt with us according to our sins

Scripture: II Corinthians 4:16-18; Isaiah 54:17
Topic: Victory
Notes:
- Do not invest in the temporary; invest in the eternal
- If you want to be victorious think on God things
- Don’t lose heart... our light affliction is temporary. He’s helping me carry it
- What I’m going through now is producing an eternal weight of glory
- Looking at temporary things keeps you stirred up, worried, mad, burdened...
- You feed yourself with the news... conservative doesn’t mean Christian
- I’m not interested in political party; we are supposed to be Christians
- Christians will spread light, tell the truth, love enemies, have compassion for sinners, feed the hungry, build a house for the homeless... reach out beyond yourself
- Look at things that are not seen; Elisha’s servant saw they were surrounded by the Syrians... Elisha prayed “God, open their eyes...they are looking at what is seen”
- Those who are for you far outnumber those who are against you

Scripture: Genesis 3:21; I Corinthians 15:21-22; Romans 5:12, 17; Isaiah 54:17
Topic: The Gospel
Notes:
- No one knows the day or hour of His return (referencing failed prediction)
- If we are assured of our faith, it doesn’t matter when He’s coming back
- His perfect love for you casts out fear, enables you to live a bold, victorious life
- Every human (except Jesus) is born a sinner
- When Adam & Eve sinned, God killed an animal and made a covering for them
- The blood of Christ covers our sin, our shame, our nakedness
- Satan brings up what you’ve done; for 930 years Adam saw the effects of his sin
- When we get saved and live in a Christian environment we begin to resent sinners for what they do; don’t forget where He brought you from
- The church is not here to present an image
- The first Adam sinned; the second Adam came to bring you out of what you were born in to; we are first born of the flesh and then of the spirit
- The free gift of righteousness God has given to me
- No weapon formed against you shall prosper

Scripture: Philippians 4:6-8; Psalm 139
Topic: Spiritual Warfare
Notes:
- Navy Seal memoirs... trained mentally to withstand and overpower... “every battle is won or lost in your mind”
- Cast down imaginations; take your thought life into captivity
- We lose our battles when we start off in defeat, looking at what could happen
- We make through by acknowledging Jesus in the moment
- The power that is in us is the same power that raised Jesus from the dead
- Prepare you heart and mind; think on things that are holy, pure...
- God is light; you cannot be defeated
- Something happens every time we pray
2011-05-15-1030 Pastor Loran Livingston is the speaker this morning May 15th 2011 in the 10:30 service.
Scripture: Colossians 3:1-5; 1:17; Psalm 139
Topic: Hope
Notes:
- The old you is dead, does not exist; let that become a reality
- We came into the world dead because of sin
- By the power of the Holy Spirit we were quickened when we heard the gospel and accepted, received and believed
- We were dead to God and now are dead to sin, the law, the principles of the world
- The law could not save us from our sins; only could highlight them
- Jesus kept the law, fulfilled the law and gave us His righteousness
- We are dead to the law and alive in Christ Jesus; no condemnation against us
- We are in warfare but the war is won; He gave us His victory; I have eternal life
- Don’t mix philosophy with faith
- Don’t go back to what Christ already fulfilled: feast days, holy days...
- I am a child of God, crucified with Christ, buried with Him (in baptism) and raised from the dead
- If Jesus can save you from sin, any other problem is not even an issue
- Jesus holds everything together
- We have all done crazy, prayerless, careless things, but God is still there (if I make my bed in hell)
- You may feel far from God, but God is not far from you

Scripture: Matthew 11:28-30; Exodus 14:5, 8-15
Topic: Forgiveness
Notes:
- Story of mother on death bed asking for forgiveness
- Our sense of unworthiness, inability to forgive ourselves, desperately wondering if we’ll ever get our lives fixed... carrying a burden not intended by God
- Come to Jesus and find rest
- Jesus is meek. The fight must come out of you; stop trying to prove something... or to be right all the time. Be reliant on the Father
- His yoke is easy (yoke not of oxen, but a stick for carrying buckets over the shoulders); if my yoke isn’t easy, whose yoke did I put on?
- When I carry someone else’s yoke, there’s no rest in my soul, no peace in my life
- God put the Israelites at the Red Sea; Pharaoh meant to recapture them
- They went out with boldness, then fear overtook them (as they looked back)
- God to Moses “Stop crying out and move forward.” You have to start moving forward before God will open up what hinders your progress
- One of the heaviest burdens to carry is unforgiveness
- Satan knows he cannot recapture you so he tries to control you
- You may be a child of God under Satan’s control if you are unwilling to forgive
- Forgiveness is the most powerful God-like action we can do
- Great marriages, friendships, families are made up of great forgivers
- Forgiveness always defeats Satan, brings victory, lightens burdens and brings rest
2011-05-01-1800 Pastor Loran Livingston is the speaker this evening May 1st, 2011 in the 6:00 service.

Notes:
- If trouble comes your way, what will be the first thing you do?
- I fully expect trouble
- David ran to the Lord
- God collects our prayers and tears

- God will help you because He is God.

Scripture: Luke 5:4-10; John 13:7; Isaiah 43:19; I Corinthians 10:13
Topic: Sovereignty of God
Notes:
- By God’s design... you are where He means for you to be right now
- There are no such things as an accident, luck, chance, karma, fortune... God is sovereign
- Hagar, Joseph, Moses...situations seem unfair but were ordered by God
- God knew David would sin but called him anyway
- Disciples, Jesus, apostles after resurrection... all tortured.
- Why does God allow His children to face what we face? To show us that in each situation He is full in control
- We think our sin disqualifies us or that God only moves for us when we are faithful
- The more we realize how rebellious we are, the more he pours blessing on us
- I’ve walked in fear that I haven’t repented and am incapable...
- Repentance is to take it to Jesus; we don’t have the ability to never sin again
- He knows what you feel
- God led Israel to the Red Sea, an impossible place, so they could see who He is
- You don’t understand now but someday you will know
- You will face no temptation that is not common to man

Scripture: Matthew 28:1-8; Acts 1:3
Topic: Resurrection
Notes:
- The resurrection of Jesus is not just some theory
- Some say the body was stolen; if by disciples the truth would have come out by torture; if by His enemies they would have put it on display
- Some say He was in a coma; if so how did he move the stone to get out
- Evolution: not one fact to back it up, yet people embrace evolution while calling the resurrection a foolish theory
- Jesus appeared to hundreds: Mary Magdalene, disciples, men on the road to Emmaus, Thomas, seven disciples fishing, 500 men worshipping, Stephen being stoned, Saul
- Some did not recognize Him; unless He opens your eyes you never will
- It is not our place to write anyone off; God never gave up on me
- Jesus called us and will continue to use us; let God do the growing
- God never deals with two people the same way (story of church people at bar)
- If He calls you He will perfect you... for the rest of your life
- If the resurrection is nothing more than a beautiful historical event, it is worthless
- The resurrection is a present day active reality in my life
- When you become a believer you become victorious for eternity
- He conquered death; you will never die
- God has kept me; I am already seated in a heavenly place
2011-04-24-0830 Pastor Loran Livingston is the speaker this morning April 24th, 2011 in the 8:30 service.

Scripture:Acts 7:25-33
Topic: Humility
Notes:
- Stephen’s account of Moses... killed a man to deliver another (by his own hand)
- Peter cut off the ear of the servant of the high priest.
- We too feel like we must do something, that by our hand things will be better
- Our life must be of prayer and dependent on God
- Moses wandering... the burning bush. God took his sword and then his sandals; first impulse, then his ability to run and hide
- We run off excited or in fear while we should stand still until God finishes talking
- We have been impetuous, impulsive and have relied too little on prayer
- We’ve pulled out the sword and used it when it should not have been used
- We’ve run away afraid of what God was doing in our lives
- ... we pay for it for the rest of our lives
- Abraham, Sarah, Hagar... tried to do it on their own. The Ishmaelites were born...
2011-04-10-1030 Pastor Loran Livingston is the speaker this morning April 10th, 2011 in the 10:30 service.
Scripture: Isaiah 64:4-8
Topic: Prayer
Notes:
- He acts for those who wait for Him
- You must stir yourself up to reconnect with God
- If we really believed something happens when we pray, wouldn’t we do more of it?
- We get discouraged when we don’t see immediate definable results
- The greatest sin in the church is prayerlessness... other sins, sickness are prevalent because of and the state of our country is due to prayerlessness
- It is our call to pray without ceasing
- The disciples were filled with the Holy Spirit to go out and affect a group of people
- Cornelius-while he was praying, God was speaking to people
- Peter’s vision-what God called clean, he was calling dirty
- Prayer is not just to get out of trouble or to get by a little easier
- We are sometimes focused so much on personal situations that we can’t see God moving outside of that
- The Lord’s prayer... don’t get comfortable with God or you lose respect; we are too familiar... we need a revival of fear and respect
- There are people around the world suffering for Christ; we haven’t truly suffered
- The greatest sin the human race has committed against itself is slavery, human trafficking
- Pray for the persecuted and martyred Christians around the world

2011-04-03-1800 Pastor Loran Livingston is the speaker this evening April 3rd, 2011 in the 6:00 service.
Scripture: Acts 9:15
Topic: Evangelism
Notes:
- How do you know you are filled with the Holy Spirit?
- Paul was an angry religious zealot; during period of blindness his religious spirit was broken and he was made a fit vessel of Jesus Christ.
- We don’t love sinners the way servants of God must; we’re upset with those who threaten our own lifestyle rather than the effects sin is having on people.
- We have too much religion; we have our own plans
- You’re not filled with the spirit just because you speak in tongues
- You know you’re filled with the spirit when you see a dying world and your heart breaks and all you want to do is make sure you show them who Jesus is.
- Instead of being angry at gays and homosexuals, realize the same devil has control of them that had hold of you. People are victims of sin.
- Many people have not been fortunate enough to have grown up as I did...
- Without prayer my heart does not bleed for sinners; ask God for that burden.
- Religion doesn’t make you love God or people.
- The only reason we exist is to be Jesus Christ on this planet. Am I a soul winner?
2011-04-03-0830 Pastor Loran Livingston is the speaker this morning April 3rd, 2011 in the 8:30 service.
Scripture: Acts 9:1-6; 11-12
Topic: Prayer
Notes:
- Who are you Lord and what do you want me to do?
- It begins with a revelation of Jesus Christ. You can know scripture and doctrine and be able to teach it yet not have a personal relationship with Jesus
- You are not a Christian until Jesus is your life; when doctrine and theology don’t make sense you still know Jesus
- Saul was so committed to his faith that he hated those not of his faith. When blinded for three days he prayed. God told Ananias “even now he is praying.”
- Christians are praying people. Pray and wait for further instruction.
- Studying is not the same as praying.
- When I pray infrequently, people crowd my thoughts.
- As long as I think a person is my problem/ solution I will not get instruction from the Lord; God will use people but not the people you choose.
- We must pray past people; bless your enemies.
- Prayer doesn’t change things; prayer changes me so things don’t ill affect me
- The church cannot take sides; we are to love all people (Israel, Palestinians, Hispanics...)
- 10:30-we must love sinners, homosexuals, people we think a threat to our society

Scripture Ref: Romans 12:9-13; Psalm 37; 65; Acts 6; 11; 12; Hebrews 10:24-25
Topic: The Church
Notes:
- The purpose of the church is NOT to get people saved, healed, delivered or reconciled to family/friends, missions, evangelism, to care for the needy, to praise & worship...
- Purpose of the church IS the edification of the saints; when this is happening, the other things will also happen
- We are all destitute sometime
- We put the pressure on our pastor to edify... we are all supposed to edify one another.
- If someone has a need, someone else should meet that need
- This requires personal contact with other human beings
- Snap judgments; Story of judgement based on one side of phone conversation in NY
- For people to know our love is sincere, what our devotion and honor is, to share and be shared with, to show hospitality... we must build relationships.
- We must challenge one another to do good things
- Sometimes love waxes cold but it doesn’t make you any less called to do it.
- Jesus loved so He went.

- Peter fishing, followed Jesus’ instruction, nets full, realized Jesus as Son of God
- God calls ordinary people... story of grandmother
- Paul was educated, of favor; God call all kinds of people
- Peter took his eyes off Jesus and began sinking, call to Jesus and was saved
- Peter was willing to get out of the boat; story of hospital visitation (fainting)
- Peter knew who Jesus was but misunderstood Him a few times... cut off Malchus’ ear
- You can be sincere (as Peter) and still be wrong
- Story: at Harris Teeter, tried to stop shopping cart from hitting woman’s car...
- Peter’s denial; back to fishing... again Jesus showed up, brought hope

Scripture: Romans 8; Luke 15
Topic: Salvation
Notes:
- Parable of the lost coin, the lost sheep and the prodigal son
- The older son... self-righteous, finding faults in others but not enjoying his father
- The prodigal son... appetite for things of this world, spending his life on things that did not matter
- There must be punishment for sin, so God sent Jesus to pay for our sins that He would be able to accept us

Scripture: Luke 18:1-8; Philippians 4:4-7
Topic: Prayer
Notes:
- We have great music, preaching, etc. All we need to become disciples; what we lack is prayer. Prayer is work; does not come to us naturally.
- Jesus equates losing heart with losing the power to pray
- Prayer is never in vain; is a priority in the kingdom of God
- Prayer brings peace of mind
- Prayer is worship; it is not to be demanding of God
- Communion with God (prayer) is the mightiest thing you can do
- The widow and the unjust judge: he eventually avenged her as God will avenge His own in time. Be persistent.
- Jesus asks if when He returns, will people have this faith-will they be praying?
- The last day church does not see the need for prayer
- When we have a problem, we talk it over more with people than with God

Scripture: Revelation 12:10; Romans 8:31-34
Topic: Grace
Notes:
- The enemy accuses you before God of being unfit, a liar, a sinner deserving of hell
- Satan is trying to make God look bad for loving you
- Sometimes God lets Satan loose on us as he did to Job; our lives seem to come all to pieces, blindsided by things we just can’t handle
- Jesus took my sins; I’m no longer responsible for them
- If I never feel anything again I am still saved
- If God is for me, who can be against me?
- A lot of things we are accused of, we are guilty of
- Who shall bring a charge against God’s elect?
- We are justified freely by His grace
- Jesus intercedes for us; we are victorious through Jesus Christ

Topic: Grace
Notes:
- I don’t have the power to overcome, and often not the desire
- We’re told there’s a level to achieve... you’re not there
- You didn’t save yourself and cannot keep yourself; salvation begins and continues in Christ; through Him we overcome; sustained by His spirit
- Lazarus was dead as we were; Jesus comes to raise us up
- Spiritual death; the world doesn’t know they’re living in the worst condition
- People think to get to heaven they must do something; only way is to believe in Jesus Christ; if one work is required then it is not by grace
- Nothing can separate me from God; not my failure, inconsistency or carnal ways
- Love and mercy in action are God’s grace to me
- God’ grace is forever and unconditional
- God will use your weakness
- God didn’t take away the thorn in Paul’s side; when have you seen a miracle?
- The grace of God does not discriminate
- When you were saved, God justified you

Topic: Sin
Notes:
- Old Testament for Jewish people; New Testament come through Jesus for gentiles
- People taking Passover offering-a gimmick, celebrating Jewish festivals, etc.
- All I need to do is get my own life straight with God
- How did the temple become the trash dump? Someone didn’t want to take the time to do the right thing. Hezekiah called to clean it out
- Our bodies are the temple: to keep it clean there is constant discomfort
- It is impossible to live without accumulating trash, but what you do with the trash determines how close you are to the Lord
- People using the temple for their on ungodly uses; how we keep the temple is how we thing of God
- People (in our society) are not moved by the gospel like they used to be
- I’ve got to take care of my temple; the Bible has not changed; God’s rules not changed

- Felix knew right... heard from Paul about righteousness, self control and judgement
- A believer has no right to be angry
- Over time, after hearing so many times, the sense of imperative action eludes you

- We struggle and fall short but God still expects us to perfect holiness and get it right
- When you get a touch from God, you will hate the sin you now love
- God does not overlook bitterness; sexual sin will send you to hell
- Esau’s birthright... wanting present satisfaction more than eternal rewards

- Who will take power in the Arab nations? No one knows what to do.
- Demonstration against believers in Israel instigated by Hasidic Jews, descendants of the Pharisees. They hate Jesus
- Church of God on Mt of Olives in Arab village set on fire by Hasidic Jews.
- Misconception in America about who hates who in Israel. The government of Israel driven by Hasidic Jews but they don’t serve in military, don’t pay taxes, etc.
- Great deal of harm being done by evangelicals.
- John Hagee (not by name): believes in dual covenant... that Jews don’t need Jesus to be saved, known as a friend of Israel
- We do Jews a great disservice when we don’t tell them they need to be born again
- A great persecution is coming to Israel...

- Don’t be overcome by evil but overcome evil with good
- Heaven is for overcomers; the enemy is relentless in his attacks against us

- Nothing wears out the saints like family problems
- You can’t be honest with family members so you have to endure, dodge issues
- Parents are often blind to or overlook their children’s weaknesses and mistakes

Scripture: Luke 12:40-48; Matthew 24:48-51; Revelation 13:13-15
Topic: Faithfulness
Notes:
- Media story: in the future, will be able to distinguish between robots and human?
- Description of the Beast in Revelation... uses “like”... could be robotic
- Jesus is coming; we will all eventually die. We must be ready
- When the attitude becomes that Jesus is delaying, wickedness follows
- When people lose expectancy, we get careless about our thought lives and actions
- The strength of my life is the Word and the power of my life is prayer
- I must wait on my Master; I don’t know when He will appear
- There should be a distinguishable difference between the church and the world
- The world has crept deceptively into the church; preachers preaching another gospel
- Only two days matter: this day and that day. I live this day to be ready for that day.
- Young preachers want a big church... they want to be pampered and coddled... deified
- If called of God, one will preach the whole counsel of God
- People needing “a word”... might as well eat a fortune cookie.

Scripture: Galatians 5:24; John 8:31; I John 3:7-10
Topic: Faithfulness
Notes:
- There’s nothing more important than to be sure I’m ready
- The gospel is offensive; have we been away from true Bible preaching so ling that when we hear it, it sounds too strong?
- Start operating with last day desperation. Watch and pray.
- People have been taught they can have a relationship with Christ but be out of fellowship with Him most of their lives
- A Christian won’t spend years in rebellion (as a sinner would)
- If saved, you’ll live right... abide in His word
- If we say we have fellowship with Him but walk in darkness then we lie
- He who practices righteousness is righteous; who does not is of the devil
- Not everyone is going to heaven! Michael Jackson...
- You cannot come to the Father except by the Son
- There’s deception in churches today. Dead faith; no life, no testimony
- We need to get desperate and pray for relatives to be saved

- Antichrist will bring false peace to Middle East; 7 years tribulation; antichrist and false prophet will deceive Israel & most of the world... then break their covenant, declaring antichrist as god (abomination of desolation); 2/3 Israelis killed; battle of Armageddon; millennial reign
- Rapture of the saints: catching away to escape all this. Tribulation not for Church
- Chronology is not the point. We must be ready. Rapture is imminent, has no signs
- Don’t get caught up with affairs of this world; live right and wait
- Are you afraid to die? Does this make you uneasy?
- Nobody knows when He will come for us
- Lying, deception, unacceptable business tactics, hypocritical lives... you cannot come to church then curse an officer in the parking lot
- Christians, be conscientious about the way we talk and act; there’s a sense of rebellion still in our souls
- How long has it been since I’ve ... given to help others... had joy in my heart...

Scripture: Hebrews 3:12-14; Revelation 2; 3
Topic: Faithfulness
Notes:
- We must be vigilant after God
- Story of godly women at funeral service: we need saints to tell of God’s faithfulness
- Serving Jesus is a matter of overcoming; there is nothing greater than the grace that God has given us to overcome
- Heaven is for overcomers
- It makes no sense to try to win the world when our own church needs revival
- We have no sense of urgency
- I believe in rapture of the church before the tribulation, the time of God’s wrath
- They hated Jesus and ought to hate us as well
- Am I dragged down too often... or am I so full of the Word I’ve set my eyes on Jesus?

Scripture: Luke 8:12-15; Hebrews 2:1; 3:7-14
Topic: Faithfullness
Notes:
- Parable of the Sowers: everyone fits one of the scenarios
- Protect your heart; it is your connection to God
- In Hebrews, Jewish believers were reverting back to Judaism
- Being a Christian is tough, warfare
- Believe , confess, repent, turn away and live for Jesus; give earnest heed
- Sin deceives the young... American Idol... everyone wants to be discovered... a trick from hell to destroy them
- Sin deceives the old... feel too experienced to fall. You are never out of danger
- Satan caused Eve to doubt what God said; don’t misunderstand God
- Christians in adultery, homosexuality... think that what God meant is not the same as what they’re doing; loving money is idolatry; we deny unforgiveness
- You can be living in sin and think it’s everybody but you
- If I regard iniquity in my heart, the Lord will not hear me

Scripture: Revelation 2:1-5
Topic: Repentance
Notes:
- We’re not going to heaven because we believe in Jesus, but because we follow Him
- We’ve left our first love; the relationship is not what it was
- It is backsliding when I don’t love Him with my whole heart, mind, soul, body, and strength
- Repent and do the first works, the basics of Christianity
- Some Christians are never satisfied... because they’re not satisfied with Jesus
- Once you’ve had an experience with Jesus, nothing else satisfies
- Give me more of Jesus... then you operate in the Spirit
- When you have Jesus, you have everything
- Must hunger for Jesus... I’ve had to pray my way back
- You’re baptized into Christ once, but can be baptized in the Spirit over and over
- Baseball, golf boring... my mind is on Jesus

Scripture: Luke 8:12-15; I Timothy 4:1-2; II Thessalonians 2:10; I Corinthians 6:9-10; Hebrews 10:26-27
Topic: Faithfullness
Notes:
- We have a lot of religion but little commitment to Jesus
- Where do we stand with God? Salvation is bearing fruit every day
- Sometimes I get scared when I read the Bible; we should be somewhat fearful
- Parable of the sower: seed on rocky ground... those who believe for awhile...
- Saved people keep, obey, learn and search the Word
- Some depart because they start listening to deceiving spirits
- People don’t want to be convicted; conviction is a gift from God
- We fail to take the Bible seriously... become too familiar
- This is about loving God, truth, righteousness; we must hate everything evil
- Love the truth or eventually reject the truth
- It is possible to have head knowledge with no heart relationship
- We get caught up with the here and now rather than the there and then
- David fell when he took his eyes off the Lord
- Are you double-minded?
- Parents are following their kids to church; maybe there’s no conviction “over there”
- Stay before God and allow Him to convict or you’ll start tolerating sin
- Adulterers, homosexuals, liars... in the pulpit; God hasn’t changed His mind about sin
- If I willfully sin then there is no longer a sacrife

Scripture: Romans 5:20-21; 6:1-17; Titus 2:11-13; John 10:1-5; 27-29; Colossians 1:21-23
Topic: Obedience
Notes:
- There’s more to the grace of God than saying “I’m saved.”
- Gospel preaching has been diluted
- It’s not just calling on the name of the Lord, but pursuing after Him; Our lives must change; how you live bespeaks who you serve
- Satan will have you misapply the scriptures, which leads to misunderstanding and eventually violating the scriptures
- Grace leads us to deny ungodliness
- We start looking for Jesus to come back which makes us watch how we’re living
- There’s a frustration in young couples in the church, especially those with children… “Is this my life?” Satan plants the desire to be free…
- In our society we watch too much trashy television; we start to want what they have
- If you want it, the devil will help you get it
- A sheep knows his master’s voice, will not follow a stranger
- How do I know I’m saved? Know Jesus’ voice.
- The person who is hearing and following… cannot be snatched out of His hand
- If saved, then when you sin it breaks your heart, you run back to Him are forgiven
- It’s not where you go to church, but how you hear and obey
- We’re too comfortable with sin; get down to business or you’re his next victim
2011-01-16-1800 Pastor Loran Livingston is the speaker this evening January 16th, 2011 in the 6:00 service.
Scripture: Romans 5:1-5
Topic: Grace
Notes:
- If it hasn’t happened to you yet, it will... a dark time spiritually depleted and numb
- Panic and fear will make you wander... fear is brought into your life by Satan
- Before you get to that valley, you need to know what He said about His faithfulness
- Others have already been there and will be there again
- Know that He cannot lie and will never leave or forsake you
- Because of Jesus, God treats me as though I’ve never sinned
- I don’t like the sun to go down, dark places; we will all experience a sunset some time
- Stand in the grace of God and glory in tribulation, building perseverance
- There’s not much hope in the idea that I might not make it even after He saved me
- The same Jesus that found me and saved me will keep me and take me home
- I’m not hopeful if it’s up to me to make it
- I’ve changed my mind about God but God will not change His (about Israel or me)

Scripture: Mark 11:15-18; Romans 5:14-18; John 1:14-18
Topic: Grace
Notes:
- To young parents busy with children, etc... Feeling condemned, haven’t done enough.
- To people who’ve been to the courtroom, doctor, fought with family... human beings with emotions indescribably bad
- Jesus is as close to you now as He can possibly be; with you in all these moments
- Jesus drove people from the temple, turned tables, moneychangers... lame and blind came to Him; 35 acres of holy ground held hostage by Jesus
- False ideas: God loves good people, do religious things and God will respond, be faithful to God and He’ll be faithful to you
- God does because He is holy, righteous and good
- You can know church doctrine and go to hell; you first need a touch from Jesus
- By grace we’ve been saved; nothing we’ve done deserves it
- More people follow Christianity than follow Jesus
- Prodigal son; older brother didn’t wander away but wasn’t any closer to his father
- Perhaps repentance is a route rather than a requirement (for God’s love and blessing)
- Story: garage floor epoxy, A & B. Many people operating with A (truth) and not B (grace). We need both truth and grace.

Scripture: John 2:5-11; Hosea 11:9; Psalm 22:5; I Peter 2:6, 8
Topic: Faith
Notes:
- Stories: ice cream cone/seatbelt, broken arm in golf cart, pants zipper...
- There are no stars in the Kingdom... ordinary people that God touches in extraordinary ways to do things for His kingdom
- The first miracle Jesus performed was to save someone social embarrassment
- God created you to live a life that you could trust Him
- Wedding ceremony was the highlight
- Mary told them do what Jesus tells you; you don’t know what He’ll tell you to do
- When I call on Him and obey, the results amaze me
- God is not like a father, but is a father. Don’t measure God by earthly father...
- We live in fear that God will one day snap and visit us in terror
- Our natural everyday human emotions skew our view of the Father
- God does not have to be appeased... just trust Him; He came to save not condemn
- You look for relief but He wants to give you an answer
- It’s not about keeping rules but about trusting

Scripture: Luke 22:31-34
Topic: Suffering
Notes:
- If you call Jesus Lord, you are a threat to Satan; he makes relentless attempt to destroy those in Christ but does not have free reign
- Jesus did not deliver Peter, but said “I’ll be praying for you.”
- You will be sifted; know scripture and know God is faithful so you don’t feel punished by God; it is a part of the faith
- When Jesus comes into your life you get victory, righteousness, wisdom, redemption, and sanctification; but also the privilege to be persecuted, tested, sifted
- God saves a soul for one reason: for His namesake
- You are helpless and need God’s holy spirit
- Don’t ever claim a gift; He gives gifts; we must be emptied of our spiritual confidence
- Faith is not a tool to work things out, only to believe...

- Mary and Joseph followed law; Jesus circumcised accordingly, etc.
- Ana waited and served (as we all should be doing)... Simeon.
- Live with anticipation, not only of rapture but of tragedy
- Joseph told to take Mary and Jesus and flee Egypt to escape Herod
- Sometimes God tells us to flee instead of fight; we rely on prayer and scripture to get through
- Sick as a child, people prayed, lack of faith blamed when no results
- We think power of prayer is given for our pleasure, purpose, escape
- Sometimes God sends you to an inconvenient place to save your soul
- God will not make you comfortable but will give you comfort
- Have faith in what He said not in how you feel
- Herod eventually died; one day your trouble will pass as well
- You don’t know what will happen this year

Scripture: Jeremiah 31:29-30
Topic: Family
Notes:
- There’s no guarantee your child won’t fall to sin one day
- Desperate to have a good family, we blame others... even demons
- There is no spirit of gambling, alcohol, divorce, cancer, etc... not in scripture; there is a spirit of lying, infirmity and fear
- Out of desperation for our family, we lean on something besides God’s holy word
- Everyone comes into the world under a curse... sin
- You will never conquer your flesh in your own power
- If we rely on what Christ gave us on the cross and live in the resurrection power of Jesus we’ve been made overcomers by His blood
- The genealogy of Jesus lists sinful people (Tamar who seduced Judah, etc.)
- Every family is full of sin but by the blood of Jesus we are saved

Scripture: Matthew 2:1-12; Isaiah 60:1-7; II Peter 1:19
Topic: Focus
Notes:
- Book: “Jesus through Middle Eastern Eyes” by Kenneth Bailey
- Who was Herod? A vile man, mixed up (Arab, Jew, Greek, Roman) but hated everyone not Roman
- Who were the wise men? Wealthy from Arabia. Arab believers. Hundreds or more traveled together. East means “the rising”
- Shepherds were poor Jews who came from fields to worship Jesus.
- God had a plan... wise men watching for the signs... headed for Bethlehem when everything lined up... arrived first in Jerusalem
- Herod gathered chief priests & scribes... sent wise men to find Jesus.
- Sometimes we lose sight of the star... end up in the wrong place
- People get more interested in church organization/politics than a relationship with Jesus

Scripture: Luke 2:1-20; Matthew 15:3; Colossians 2:8; Titus 1
Topic: Traditions
Notes:
- Warning against traditions that strengthen loyalty to an organization rather than Christ
- People become bound to traditions as though equal to scripture
- Scripture translated over time through cultural perspectives
- Christmas wasn’t celebrated until 300 years after Jesus’ birth... Constantine declared Christianity the state religion
- Nobody knows when Jesus was born... doesn’t matter when we celebrate Jesus’ birthday; don’t just remember Him on Dec. 25th
- The traditional view of Jesus birth is incorrect... Jesus wasn’t born in a stable. Middle Eastern culture hospitable, Joseph of royal lineage, “inn” is a guest room in a private home.
- Nothing wrong with bows lights and trees... unless we only feel this way once a year... if it takes this for me to have compassion on the needy... then it has become tradition...
- Christianity is doing what Jesus would every day of your life
- Can’t live at the start of something (Jesus’ birth); gotta move on
- Jesus isn’t lying in a manger but sitting on a throne; live the life...
- Christmas is about God coming to draw us to Himself and about God in us driving us to where people are, living in their midst

Scripture: Luke 1:39-55
Topic: Faithfulness
Notes:
- Mary’s visit to Elizabeth; baby leapt; Mary’s spirit rejoiced
- I believe in generational blessings but not generational curses
- God chooses the lowly, unwanted and left out
- Come to Him humble and He will meet us
- In 1998 went to Israel and fell in love with Jewish people
- God has a plan for His people; replacement theology false
- We are favored and blessed if we are saved
- If God calls you He won’t un-call you
- The law was given to redeemed people; He calls then instructs
- There will be no revival until we have the heart of God for Jews
- We must love the Jew and Gentile, Israeli and Palestinian

Notes:

- Luke set out to write all he had heard into an organized presentation
- Gabriel appeared to Zacharias to tell of John’s conception, an answer to his prayers, and that John would be filled with the Spirit
- God doesn’t do anything the way you think He will, but He already has it planned out
- Zacharias doubted and so was made mute; doubt and be silenced
- Gabriel appeared to Mary who responded “according to your word”
- Mary went to Elizabeth and John leapt in her womb; he and Elizabeth filled with the Holy Spirit
- There is no set pattern; don’t put God in a box
- Obey truth, walk in love, trust God and you’ll be filled w/ the Spirit
- Trust God and there will be a song in your heart

Scripture: Matthew 5:9, 24; 6:14-15; Romans 14:19
Topic: Forgiveness
Notes:
- When we’re tired we become sensitive, protective, read into situations, make rash decisions, develop bad feelings towards people
- The devil is looking for a way into a situation
- The holiday season wears people out
- The kingdom of God is about relationships
- My attitude towards a fellow believer is my attitude towards Jesus...
- Prayers fall to the ground when we don’t reconcile
- Pursue the things that make for peace
- Forgive others and you will be forgiven (by God)
- Don’t live in sensitivity
- The devil loves a divided church; there is power in unity

Scripture: I Thessalonians 5:23-28
Topic: Peace
Notes:
- When I’m living a sanctified life I am a peaceful person
- The peace of God preserves; when I renew my friendship with the world the peace of God diminishes in my life
- As canning preserves... the peace of God seals us from the outside
- Where He’s taking me is better than where I am; don’t be settled

- Don’t call yourself “Reverend” if you aren’t proclaiming the gospel

- If you want the peace of God you must abound in love more & more

- Statistics of Paul’s opportunities to minister to guards
- American Christians are not suffering as those in other nations
- People are looking for an example of the believer
- Joseph... why am I going through this?
- Do I believe what He said? Do I act like I believe?

- Moab at ease, settled on his dregs (not poured from vessel to vessel)

Topic: Sin
Notes:
- The Holy Spirit leads us away from compromising encounters
- Obey God and be blessed; Disobey and consequences will follow
- A Preacher rationalized that adultery gave him a testimony
- Don't let me rationalize sin

- Do not tempt Christ, living on the edge of sin
- Do not grumble or complain
- David wrestled with a weakness all his life; there is no temptation that is not common to man; we're all alike

Scripture ref: Colossians 2:2-10; Romans 12:1-2
Topic: Relationship
Notes:
- Relationship with Jesus was what parents told, pastor preached... not a miraculous transformation of the heart
- Growth is not an event.
- We go sermon to sermon without seeking God for growth ourselves
- Surround yourself with people who'll grow with you and encourage
- We have to be strengthened while working to accomplish more
- What matters is that I have a personal relationship with Christ that no one can take from me
- If you can't minister in your own home you’ll have no ministry outside the home
- Practice what you know. Let God use your past experiences
- Lays potato chip commercial "Can't eat just one." Can't just show up and get a blessing and leave, must wait and let God work
- “You can't win if you don’t transform” (son with transformers)
- Dig in, get dirty, roll your sleeves up and let God use you.
- We must present ourselves to God, separate from the world, allow Him to transform our minds/hearts, demonstrate His love to others

yourselves treasures on earth...

Ref: Hebrews 12:1-2
Topic: The Gospel
Notes:
- Everyone deserves to hear the gospel
- Don't get caught up in denominations
- Not a lot of difference between the church and the world sometimes... greedy, self-serving
- We leave it to denominations to do ministry; Jesus told individuals to go; get me back to one on one ministry
- Love God with heart, soul, mind and love your neighbor as yourself
- Movement to mix Judaism and Christianity... Gentiles were never told to celebrate feasts and festivals
- Jesus died to free us... simple... we must tell people
- Calvinism, eschatology, tongues... we don't have to understand these things to be a witness
- Salvation comes by believing on the Lord Jesus Christ
- When we get caught up in doctrine we miss the point of what Jesus came to do and sends us to do

Topic: The Church
Notes:
- When I take my eyes off Jesus I fall into sin, accumulate weights that keep me from being/doing what God has designed/required
- We interest ourselves in temporary things while expressing love for Jesus, working harder for culture and country than for His kingdom
- We shouldn't consider sides, evaluating people according to sides
- Our only cause is the cross of Christ, the gospel preached to all men
- No active soldier entangles himself in everyday life
- When we choose sides we eliminate somebody
- There is one church; Jesus made Jews and Gentiles one
- Israel & Palestine
- Church’s job is not to promote politics... save America...

Scripture Ref: Psalm 15
Topic: Holy Living
Notes:
- With the right incentives, we can change
- We prepare when something important is going to happen
- Worship is preparation to spend time with God, not the effect of
- Deliberate inspection and surrender of every attitude and hunger of my heart is the beginning of worship, not the end
- You belong to God and are to be used by Him
- I have to want intimacy with God to have it
- Sincere: no wax (wax used to fill cracks in pottery)
- Be watchful, work righteousness, be honest, do not slander, check the room you’re in (who you’re hanging out with), commitment, priorities, generosity

- The ground is shifting; spend time with Jesus

Topic: The Gospel
Notes:
- Not every witness is reliable
- Witnesses to the crucifixion saw differently; people use the cross but don't understand it
- Roman soldiers: self-sufficient, mocked Jesus, they could not see His true power. We take what we can get but don't want to give, watching Jesus from a distance
- Simon of Cyrene: wasn't looking for Jesus, mistreated, found Jesus who understood his pain.
- Passers by, leading priests: listened enough to get sound bytes but not enough to get the truth. Mocked Him with sound bytes
- We need more than information-transformation
- What comes from a man's mouth shows his heart
- Shocked witness (roman officer)

Notes:
- Understanding the scripture must be a miracle of enlightenment
- You cannot understand God unless God gives you an understanding
- Hagar-God opened her eyes to see the well so child would live
- As a child of God you never reach the end of your journey
- Solomon's prayer... Dedication of Temple... Israel lost in captivity
- Lost children... power of wealth diminishes dependence on God
- Lot went towards Sodom... can’t handle money/freedom if we don’t bow before God with a humble soul
- Prodigal Son-when he came to himself he came home
- Call on God; He can open their eyes so they can return home

- Cannot get direction from God until you've prayed and fasted
- When you pray and fast you don’t miss God’s will
- The devil will do anything to deceive you when fasting
- Fasting is to crucify the flesh... if I'm not hungrier for Jesus then something went awry
- We start with good intentions...then we argue or glory in the accomplishment
- It's not what you put in your body but what comes from your heart
- If you feel condemnation it is not of Jesus
- I'm not to be your judge... to tell you how to seek God
- Bear one another’s burdens
- When we fast we are coughing it up... emotions, feelings... rooting up what distances us from God
- What you think is a weakness in your life may be your strength
- Galatians... people moved into legalism. Cannot trust Jesus and keep the law. Law give to Israel, not gentiles.

Ref: Hebrews 13:15-16; Judges 20; Acts 10:1-48
Topic: Fasting
Notes:
- Men of tribe demanded Benjamin give up guests to them... Benjamin gave his concubine ... she was killed... he sent her over land of Israel
- Israel went after Benjamin on their own strength
- If your mind's made up, don't bother calling on God... expect defeat
- Two times Israel fought Benjamin and were defeated
- Third time Israel fasted and prayed... the Lord gave them victory
- Fasting is not legalism
- Cornelius: devout, feared God, gave, prayed but was not saved
- Cornelius fasted and God sent Peter who then preached the gospel to the Gentiles and the Spirit fell
- Tongues to magnify and praise God
- At some point while fasting you will feel useless; a fast gets you beyond the feeling
- Fasting is the front line of spiritual warfare
- Distracted by thoughts of food... the flesh is fighting for its life
- You begin seeing scripture like never before, develop clarity of mind, hunger in the spirit, time slows down
- You’ll never do anything more dangerous towards the enemy...

- Operating in the flesh opens door to fear, doubt and weakness

- When I read/study and pray, I'm never caught off guard
- The Devil will wait till an opportune time
- Islam plans to take over the world, infecting us slowly

- This is what you were saved to do; it is not an inconvenience
- Pastor Z/Int'l Bikers for Christ

Scripture: John 3:16-21; Luke 10:25-29; 16:1-18; I Corinthians 7:10-16
Topic: : Sin
Notes:
- Jesus came into an already condemned world; who believes on Him is no longer condemned
- People hate truth because it exposes their sin; not just disapproval but a hatred of Jesus
- Human nature is to justify. Psychology finds excuses.
- As long as you justify sin you'll never be saved
- The lawyer who asked "Who is my neighbor?" Manager handling rich man's affairs...
- You cannot serve God and money. There is teaching now that says that Jesus was rich, but He taught on the dangers of money
- People justify love of money: transfer of wealth to the believers

Scripture: John 3:16-21; Luke 10:25-29; 16:1-18; I Corinthians 7:10-16
Topic: : Sin
Notes:
- Jesus came into an already condemned world; who believes on Him is no longer condemned
- People hate truth because it exposes their sin; not just disapproval but a hatred of Jesus
- Human nature is to justify. Psychology finds excuses.
- As long as you justify sin you'll never be saved
- The lawyer who asked "Who is my neighbor?" Manager handling rich man's affairs...
- You cannot serve God and money. There is teaching now that says that Jesus was rich, but He taught on the dangers of money
- People justify love of money: transfer of wealth to the believers
- What men admire sickens God: success, accumulation of wealth
- Men justify divorce for any reason. Only acceptable reason is fornication, but God's desire is forgiveness and restoration.

Notes:
- I want to remember Jesus' presence within me and live such that He is not hurt; must measure my words, ways according to Jesus

- Todd Bentley-liar
- Story of woman on plane, "I'm going sword fishing." (Hearing impaired)
- Ministers who thought the Lord said…
- People get super spiritual, claim God told them to marry…
- Desire exceeds hearing
- The shepherd’s voice must be the most important thing in our lives; know what He is saying
- We can be guided to do, but can also be forbidden (as Paul to preach in Asia)
- Sincere people make great mistakes because they haven’t heard clearly

Topic: Faithfulness
Notes:
- Shadrach, Meshack, Abednego: they did not ask God for help, did not know if they would be delivered but had their minds made up
- Christianity is not God helping us live for Him, but God living His life through us; we must crucify the flesh
- Do not ask for thing God has already given/promised/accomplished
- The Holy Spirit is already in us
- Sin-we aren’t to get stronger, but to die and let Him live
- You are complete in Him, cannot get more of God, but can believe/trust/obey Him more
- God is already there to meet the need

Notes:
- We complicate the gospel through doctrines, denominations, etc.
- You cannot feel faith; you feel emotion
- Faith is not an experience; experience can be misunderstood
- Faith is not a dream, prophetic word
- Faith is based on the Word of God
- We will never get our acts together
- We think from here to there instead of from there to here
- We should worship because He is God, not because we've had a good week and kept the list
- We tend to base our relationship with God on our successes and failure

Notes:
- The kingdom of God is at hand; lay aside sin, the weight of sins already forgiven

- Pray, read, pursue love, desire spiritual gifts… that you may prophesy
- When anointing leaves you feel empty, depressed. Approach throne of grace. When time comes, He will give what is needed
- Who speaks in tongues edifies himself; prophecy edifies church

Scripture Ref: Luke 7
Topic: Holliness
Notes:
- Holiness is the standard and the substance of the Christian life
- It is impossible for God to sin, be tempted, or tempt
- We are too much like the world; grace doesn’t merely release us from the guilt of sin, but from the grip of sin
- Jesus at home of Simon, woman to wash His feet; parable of two men, one owed ten times the other; neither debt could be paid, as no sin
- Double delusion in Church-we rationalize some sins while others are detestable; some think they are less sinful because they don’t act out every sin

- Man on rodeo circuit-God kept him by grace
- Some raised in church don’t realize how far God reached to save them

- Working on motorcycle, dropped screw, sought but did not find
- Women seek husbands, etc. don’t go looking, just stay ready
- Knowledge/scripture useless without prayer life
- Pray for one another, pray in the Spirit
- After you’ve prayed in the spirit, speak boldly the truth
- Tongues were not given to preach the gospel
- You can't teach people to pray in Spirit, as the spirit gives utterance
- When we are weak, the spirit prays through groanings
- You don't have the right to command angels (female preacher told angel to find her ring). God rejects the proud.

For those of you who have been downloading sermons from ccogmedia.org for some time, you were no doubt shocked at the new look this week. The site was out growing the server located in my home on which I have hosted this service since it's beginnning several years ago. So, I have started to move the sermons from the old site to a new site that has much better bandwidth available. This means faster downloads for those of you who download them to your PC rather than listen to them on-line. This also means that the Central Church of God sermons are now listed in Itunes as a Podcast. (Search for "Central Church of God" in the Itunes music store under podcasts). So far only sermons from late May to present are on the new site. I plan to move all of the sermons from the old site to the new one over the next several months.
You can still see the sermon list in the table list format that was used on the old site by clicking on the year (2003, 2004, 2005 & 2006) listed under the Archives from old site title on the right side of the screen. I’m keeping the old listing format available for those that prefer the simpler table list format. These old lists will also provide access to the sermons that have not been moved to the new site yet.
Please send your comments or questions to me at the link at the bottom of the page under the Questions or Comments title. - David
