Sermons on Obedience (Page 3)
Wholesome Words
The Bible tells us that God is our master and we are to honor our master. Paul called himself a bond slave to God and he was ready to do whatever God told him to do, at whatever the cost would be to him personally. People no longer know how to bow their knee to God and give Him the fear, honor, love only He is worthy of. We are to read the Word, obey the Word, stand on…
Authority and Power
Jesus sent out His disciples with the authority & power to cast out demons – to set people free from the things in their lives that separated them from God. We have been given the very same power, authority and commission, but we must apprehend it by faith and obedience. Where do we stand? Are we in opposition to the devil? If we are in opposition to the Kingdom of God in…
Outside The Camp
God has declared to Moses that He will no longer go with Moses and the Children of Israel because “they are a stiffnecked people”. The problem is with the attitudes of the people and their lack of willingness to humble down to God, but God is looking to Moses, His leadership, to resolve the issue. Moses moves the Tabernacle outside the camp, thereby separating the people…
Trust and Obedience
God is drawing us into deeper relationship with Him so we want to be consecrated to Him. Out of that consecration comes perfect trust and a desire to obey Him, no matter the cost.
The Robbery of Fleshly Arguments
The carnal mind is enmity against God. After the Sermon on the Mount there were two groups of people. There were those who humbled down, having received the baptism of John, and who knew that all Jesus had said was right. The Pharisees and lawyers argued against God’s Word and rejected Him and the blessings that faith would have brought to them. This sermon challenges us…
Representation of God
We either represent or misrepresent Christ in the lives we live out in front of others every day. Sin separates us from the very power that makes us sons. Jesus is our example of perfect obedience – obedience so perfect He could enter the Pool of Bethesda and heal only one person when everyone in there had to be crying out for His touch. We have the power to become sons -…
Check Your Life (Matthew 25)
Continuing the discussion on adoption, Pastor Ricley walks us through our part in the adoption process through a discussion of Matthew 25. You can bring a child home from the orphanage to live in your home, but if they don’t recognize your parenthood and authority in their lives, it makes a loving relationship difficult at best. All those in the parables in Matthew 25…
Go Back and Submit
The Old Testament story of Hagar can help us understand what it means to be a servant of the Lord Jesus Christ.
Forgiveness, Faith & Obedience
Forgiveness, faith and obedience are vital to our lives as Christians, yet they are also things we often find difficult. The more we practice forgiving and exercising faith in God, the more we will also obey Him in challenging times.
Getting Rid of Precious
The Gospel of the Kingdom means that Jesus is the King. If He is the King, then he must be obeyed, even when obedience to Him is costly to our flesh man (“precious”). Every Christian must choose whether to obey the King or obey “precious”. God is looking for people who love Him more than the world, more than their emotions, more than their own will.
