Sermons on Perfection
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
Right Place, Right Time, Right Garment
We have an invitation to The Wedding Feast, yet we treat our relationship with God and this invitation casually. We need to seriously examine our relationship with God to be sure we both know Him and are known by Him. Scripture: Luke 14:7, Luke 14:15-24, Deut 9:23-29, Esther 2:1-13, Zeph 1:7-8
The God Who Never Fails
There is a falling away from the truth of who God is and the man of sin is being revealed everywhere around us. Mainstream Christianity isn’t talking about this because the church is surrendering to thinking that God is not powerful enough. He remains the Great I Am, our All Sufficient One. Sold out soldiers are needed to run alongside people and reveal Christ to…
Perfection Requires Fire
God was able to put Job through the fire because he was mature in his relationship with Him. Jacob was prepared to meet Esau because he and God had done business the night before. Daniel could be left behind in Babylon because he knew where his strength came from and God knew he would not bow. God is calling us to perfection and we’ll get there. It’s okay…
The Excellence of Christ
Luke wrote his Gospel about the Perfect Man in the midst of the Jewish worldview of “We’re better than everyone else” and the Greek worldview which was self-centered and about man’s wisdom. Both had the same information about God, but having the information is not the same as having the revelation of Him. It’s only through the…
You Are Meant to Fly
Yesterday’s sin, no matter how grievous, does not define the success of our relationship with God. We have the blood of Jesus to cover past sins, but we’re meant to go past the blood into perfection as we move from knowing about Jesus to truly having the revelation of Him and His expectation for our lives. He’s given us all the tools we need – we…
Apprehended For Perfection
Matt 5:48 commands that we “be perfect as our Father in Heaven is perfect”. We see that as impossible so we expect that to happen when we enter Heaven. God is getting us perfect as we move forward in relationship with Him. We want faith first, but God builds faith as we walk, not before. We were apprehended by Christ for perfection – on earth where the…
God Is Our Solution
The flesh is coming into unity – the man of sin is rising up. But, the Bible has also promised a perfect man – the church in unity. We must learn to trust God now so we don’t lean on the arm of the flesh during tribulation. We are an elect race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for God’s own possession. Scripture: 1 Peter 2:9
Who Is On The Lord’s Side?
The church denies that perfection is possible, yet God granted us robes of white linen and created in us a new man who cannot sin. We serve an indwelling God who teaches us to think like Him and reject sin. Through our surrender and consecration, our priestly garments, the world can see truth & the moral absolutes that God has created.
