Sermons on John
Living Righteousness
Spreading the Gospel isn’t about us telling people. It’s about living a life of peace and righteousness in front of others so they seek what we have. In order to do that, we have to get our appetites under God’s dominion and learn to say “no”. We can’t do that in our own will, but through His Spirit living in us. Scripture: Isa…
Truth in Reality, not Ideology
Pastor Ron teaches that the truth revealed in the Word is not just an ideology, but it’s a reality we can stand on in our lives that will get us through anything we might encounter. Scripture: John 14:6-7, John 13:33-35, John 1:1-4, John 2:18-19, John 6:15-27
The Three Untils
Pastor Ricley continues his study from 9/9/20 in Daniel 9 and discusses the 3 “untils” that must occur before the perfection of the church and the Word is made flesh again in Christ’s body of believers. Scripture: Luke 21:23-24, Gal 4:14, Gen 15:16, Rom 11:17-26, Jer 31:27-40, 2 John 1:7-11, 1 Cor 4:17-5:13, Lamentations 1:1-4
Religious Knowledge vs Revelation Knowledge
Pastor Ricley takes us through Scripture to explain the difference between knowledge we gain through religious experience and revelation knowledge that comes from God Himself. Scripture: 1 Cor 2:1-15, John 3:3-11, Luke 18:18, 1 Cor 1:17-31, Jer 31:15, Matt 2:18
Born of God
We are the offspring of God, why do we live at a level lower than that? We’re born of God but the church has a dysfunctional attitude about the flesh coming into righteousness. Christ is meant to be manifested through us in authority and power but we have to let out lives be altered by God. Acts 9:1-12, John 1:8-13, 1 John 3:2-16
Substance
We are learning quickly that we can’t depend on the flesh. We need the Voice, we need the Word moving in us. Faith has to become substance, not hope. Scripture: Isa 38:1-8, Isa 39:1-8, 2 Chron 32:7-8, 2 Chron 32:30-31, 2 Kings 20:4-5, John 6:4, John 7:25-35, Luke 13:24-25, Matt 25:5-10, Heb 10:5-38
The Nucleus Is Christ
God ordains how things operate in the physical realm and we have no right to mess with His design. It’s the same in the Spiritual realm – we have no right to mess with truth, His plan, His timing. We need Him at the very center of all we do, say, think in order to be effective for His Kingdom. Scripture: John 20:19-23, John 20:26-21:18
Seeing Jesus
The church needs to learn to discern what’s going on in the Spirit realm, but that’s impossible to do with so much flesh in the way. The Five Fold Ministry doesn’t finish the work in us that God intends. Only Jesus can do that, so we must grow to see Him as He is. Scripture: John 4:1-29, Matt 16:5, Exod 13:20-22, Exod 14:19-20, Exod 40:33-38, Rom 5:15
Love Demands
Without these 3 things God’s glory departs: love, grace & truth, God’s anointed ministries. Scripture: 1 Sam 4:19-22, Rom 13:1-10 (EBR), John 19:15
Grace & Truth
There are those who see the law of the Old Testament as harsh and impossible, but on examination it was actually the foundation for relationship after relationship that was facilitated by the grace and truth that came through Jesus. We need all of it in order to be the church that God needs in this hour. Scripture: John 1:14-18, Exod 24:12-25:9, Gen 11:31, 1 Cor 3:9-17,…
