Sermon (Page 7)
Justification & Sanctification
Pastor Ricley takes us through Scripture to explain the difference between being justified and being sanctified. Scripture: Rom 8:7-32
His Offspring
Caiphas spoke the words God gave him, not the words of arrogance & pride of the Jews. He will die on the cross & give everyone a pass. All will be His offspring. It is our Divine appointment to inherit the Kingdom. Doctrines of religion create a fantasy about who God is and His plan for His people. The Bible is the voice of God. Ask Him and He’ll give…
Dry Bones
The church has separated bone from bone through denominations and man’s doctrines. The Bible started with creation and a warning – the devil is a deceiver, not just a liar. The truth has become simply someone’s opinion today. The Word of the Lord is life. He will breathe life into us & we’ll live. God will bring people out of religion and…
A Sense of Value
Abraham had no sense of value for Sarah until a king paid her dowry. Abraham learned more about the value of relationship on the mountain with Isaac. The Jews saw Jesus as a nuisance rather than seeing the value of a priesthood that would provide the sacrifice of their Savior. Church today is lukewarm, missing the value of the true relationship with…
Perspective
Sometimes we get in places where it feels like there is nothing but defeat, but our trials aren’t always about us. Sometimes God is trying to reach someone around us through what we’re going through. Our steadfast walk becomes their example of who God is and what He will do in their life.Scripture: Daniel 6
Scandalized
Not one of us is immune from the voice of doubt. We must be ever vigilant over our thoughts & stay rooted in the truth of the Word rather than what it “feels” like.Scripture: Luke 7:11-24
Conformed or Transformed?
The church is running out of power because it’s left the Upper Room. The hour we’re in is similar to the hour Jesus walked the earth in. We have to choose if we’re going to go with the crowd or be transformed by the power of Christ.Scripture: Luke 3:1-3, Mark 8:34-36, Romans 12:1, 2 Cor 3:12-18
Recognize The Value
Abraham undervalued Sarah and gave her away – twice! There could be no inheritance without Sarah. God gives us things to do and we allow the devil to sideline us or put obstacles in our paths because we underestimate the value of the ministry God has placed inside us. We need to stay with the truth and recognize the value of what God is teaching…
A Time of Preparation
God is doing things in our lives that are preparatory to motion. Our busyness & ordinary days take our thought process and we’re letting the things of God pass us by. Scripture: Matt 4:12-17, Exod 19:1-6, Matt 11:21-24
Certainty
The Bible starts with the voice of God and ends with the voice of God. It’s that voice and the written Word that gives us absolute certainty in the message of a never-failing God. Scripture: John 1:1-14, Rev 10:7, Rev 19:12-13, Matt 1:17, Num 33:1-2, Mark 1:1-3, Luke 1:1-4
