Sermon
SCRIPTURE: Proverbs 28
-How is your relationship with God? Are you growing?
SCRIPTURE: Galatians 5
-If you are participating in the list described in Galatians 5:28, you will not inherit the Kingdom of God.
-The world may act confused but Christians shouldn’t be confused.
-Sometimes people are looking for peace but they are not looking for God.
-You cannot follow God and be ruled by anger.
SCRIPTURE: 1 Thessalonians 5
-There are ways that everyone knows that they can be better. Are you better than you were at this time last year?
-There are a lot of people that consider themselves Christians yet you can’t talk to them about God. Why is that?
-Don’t despise those who are trying to help you be better.
-It’s your responsibility to make sure you look like you’re not up to no good.
-Is your social media becoming a distraction to your walk with God?
-Too many people are trying to look like they are on the edge as apposed to trying to appear right.
-God cares what you look like to others and how you represent yourself.
-Stop trying to attract ungodly attention. Be careful about the appearance of evil.
-Appearance is important to God. Are you a light, a shining example for Christ?
SCRIPTURE: Psalms 27 & 119
-What are you doing to seek God’s face?
-Are you attempting to hide from God because of the lingering sin in your life?
-Don’t try to hide from God repent of your sins and make a change.
-Don’t assume that God doesn’t get angry.
-There are some people you just cannot make happy despite how much they have to be grateful for.
-When a person is selfish and evil in their heart sometimes there is no amount of advice you can give that will help them because they are worried about pleasing them self.
-Please stop lying about your prayer life! Be honest and real with other believers who are trying to provoke you to do the right thing.
-People tend to lie when they are wrong and when they don’t want to be right. Have you chosen the way of truth?
-Stop thinking about what you want and start thinking about what God wants for you. Instead of asking are you happy ask if God is happy with you?
-Ask God to control your heart and passion.
-It’s hard to be committed to Christ with a wandering heart.
