Sermon (Page 16)
The Revelation of Christ
The trials and persecution we encounter in this life serve the purpose of glorifying God in us and in His church. We can choose to find our way out of a trial to escape the buffeting to our flesh or we can allow God to take us through it so we can be counted worthy to fellowship in His suffering and be counted worthy to be one of the believers He will reveal Himself in.
The Tried and Proven Seed
When Satan wants to buffet us he has to get between us and the power of God. We are born again of incorruptible seed. In order to war with us, Satan has to be able to bypass the seed that God planted in us. That seed originated in Jesus and has been passed to us – a seed that cannot fail. The life of that seed alters everything in our life. The devil wants us to forget…
Right Fellowship
Between the promise and the realization of the promise is a rest. The Apostle John tells us that in right fellowship with Jesus, we have the ability to behold Him, to touch Him, to hear and see Him. In that right fellowship we learn that we can rest in who He is, and not in who We are. Right fellowship assures us that He is our Potter and He is pleased with His work.…
Covenants, Feasts, Sabbath, End Times
The Covenants, the 7 Jewish Feasts and the Sabbath Day all provide priceless information to the church about what the End Times are and what they are not. Satan wants to confuse the world and divide the church but if we understand God’s plan for His church, we cannot be deceived by the doctrines of men. The church must walk in truth and throw off the confusion that…
Documents of Adoption
Romans 8:15 says, “For ye have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear; but ye have received the Spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father.” Pastor Ricley calls on us to examine our hearts to see if we truly believe we’ve been adopted by God or if we’re seeing God through the eyes of religion, afraid that we won’t measure up. The Spirit of adoption frees…
A Call to Prayer
The church has lost her sense of the sovereign presence of God. The power that God intended for His church is no where to be seen and it’s no more evident than in the moral decay and loss of hope in the world around us. We need signs in the church today so people can see God moving in our lives. The people at Pentecost were in agreement that they needed the power that…
Relax in the Seed
An acorn doesn’t look like it has the power of the mighty oak, but it does. When we’re born again, God put the incorruptible seed of His Son in us – and it doesn’t look like we’re like Him – but we are. When we get religious and set lofty goals for ourselves, our efforts steal our peace. It is impossible to bring forth what we think God wants in our own power. We need to…
In The Garden
Our walk with God starts in a garden, walking with God personally, just Him and us in the cool of the evening. As our relationship with Him grows, it changes to a walk in a city, in the church with other believers, getting along with other people. This sermon focuses on the garden walk, where we walk with God as Adam did in Genesis 2. We need to be restored by faith to…
The God of Signs
Signs are the hand of God making a visible proclamation on the earth. Signs of God are detailed throughout the Bible. This sermon focuses on the flies in Egypt, binding the Word on your hand, sabbaths, Korah, Jonah, Ahaz & the sign of the sun dial for Hezekiah. Every sign of God belongs to the children of God.
Hid, Dead, & Safe!
It takes faith to receive the meat of the Word, even if we don’t see it. Colossians 3 tells us that our flesh died at Calvary with Jesus. It takes faith to receive that when we see anger, wrath and malice in our lives. In God’s view, the flesh was dealt with on the Cross of Calvary. The Word of God is for application in our life so we become something that glorifies God…
