The
Cure of Evil Speaking-Matthew
18 - Our
bent is to get for ourselves and have things our way.
It's by the grace of God that there is any unity in the
church at all. The world should stop and say "Wow! Look
how they love one another!" when they watch us. God's
people are to listen and obey the command, "love one
another". Wesley created standards so his church would
be a powerful church. Hurtful gossip, backbiting--evil
speaking of others must be prevented. There is a process
to cure this destructive habit.
The
Nature of Enthusiasm-Acts 21 If
you live a life of joy, are willing to face anything,
and you are open to loving your enemies: that's unacceptable.
Paul faced the world rejecting this amazing hope. That's
the same today. True Christianity practiced correctly
will make the world think you are
crazy. (John Wesley) Thinking you are a Christian because
of your 'enthusiasm' is self-deceit. They pretend. What
is missing? Change is the key. Let God change your
self-centered ways, change who you are. Some want the
enthusiasm, the words, the fun things, without the giving
up of who you are to have God make you the Altogether
Christian.
Easter
Hurry- Matthew
28 Victory!!! Wear your 'Nikes' to church! Nike is
the Greek word for victory. We receive victory when we RUN
from our sin into the loving arms of Jesus Christ. Those that
came to Jesus that morning was just to be near Him. We are
the same. When we look for God, He is already there, waiting
for us. Are you too busy hiding out? Will you miss out? God
is waiting for you. Don't be afraid. Meeting Jesus can take
your fear away. Jesus is here, just as He said. He did it for
you.
Palm
Sunday What's Our
Focus on Worship?- Matthew
21 Was
there worship genuine when he entered Jerusalem? Are
we focused
on ourselves instead of on the One we are worshiping?
It's all about what He has done for us. What is our attitude
when we come? God wants your heart. Spirit and truth
are required in our worship. It is powerful. It's not
what you do, it's Who you worship.
So
Far So Good - What does God expect
from us? Is just knowing about Him and
His character all He expects? What does God see when
He looks at me? Our response to salvation comes from
the Holy Spirit. A response of gratitude. That brings
glory to God. There are things He wants us to do for
those who need us. Be there, be ready, give hope and
encouragement, stay there. Are you a Savannah 911? (Lesson
from a 5 year old)
***Inspiring!! "Get
Up!!!" - John
5:1-15 -(Pastor Coakley) Do
you REALLY want your life to change? Are you comfortable
with the bad state you are in? Do you really want to
get well? "Look at me", says Jesus. "You've
been looking in the wrong place! It's not someone else's
fault! Get up!" It takes obedience. TRUST! Are your
eyes still on the pool or on Jesus?
How
Big Is Our God?- Pastor Maiya
Lueptow
"How
Big Is Our God?
"Do
You Know Who You Are?" Guest
teacher, Ginger Coakley, begins with Isaiah 61, God's
call for us to do His work--to set the captives free.
Slavery is rampant today--everywhere in our world.
