Sermon
SCRIPTURE: Proverbs 28
-Too many people have a ministry of failure.
-Wicked folks have insecurities. Wickedness breeds insecurities.
-God really is the one who keeps you in your right mind.
-There are tons of Proverbs about anger and how you manage it.
SCRIPTURE: 2 Corinthians 1
-When is the last time you recognized God as “the God of all comfort”.
-Make sure your comfort does not rely in people but in God. God can use his people to provide comfort but they are not a substitute for God.
-Stop always thinking there is two sides to every story, seek to be on God’s side.
-Are you a resource or are you always needy. Are you balance and able to share your faith with other people?
-It is impossible to be a believer if you don’t put your trust in God.
-Are you able to talk about how to be:
- a good friend?
- a good neighbor?
- a good example?
- a good son, brother, mother, sister, or father?
-Are you a light or darkness in other people life?
-Your presence should be bring joy and encouragement to others. What are you accomplishing in Christ?
SCRIPTURE: 1 Thessalonians 3
-You see someones true contents when they are shaken up.
-It’s time for Christians to stop saying I did this because “I was mad.”
-How invested are you in the lives of other people? What difference are you making in the lives of other people?
-Is your life apart of the joy of someone else’s life?
-Instead of telling someone you just want them to be happy why don’t you say I just want you to be happy in God.
-There is no guarantee that you will always get what you want, but that should not determine your attitude.
-Being saved and selfish don’t mix, if you’re one you certainly can not be the other.
-Be thankful for the people that are checking on you spiritually.
-Keep your mentality strong about what living a christian life is really all about.
-If you have true faith you have true fruits of faith.
-It’s not always people who are getting you off track sometimes its the Devil.
-To serve God also requires you to serve people, don’t let anybody try to convince you otherwise.
SCRIPTURE: Psalms 27
-The righteous have confidence. The righteous are bold. The righteous are servants of God.
-What do you do to seek God?
