Morning Sermon Take Heed Take heed to yourself and to the doctrine. Continue in them, for in doing this you will save both yourself and those who hear you. - 1 Timothy 4:16 http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=1Timothy4:16&version=NKJV Take heed to the doctrine and myself. Continue in it. I will save myself and those who hear me. My blog, Facebook group: Ladies Bible Study, one-on-one Bible Studies with potential converts, letters to lost souls: make sure I preach God's truth and God's truth only. Denominational doctrines are not allowed. Realize I face the stricter judgment (James 3:1). And it's all on me to grow spiritually (Ephesians 4:15, Hebrews 5:12-6:3). Hold to His doctrine with incorruptibility (Titus 2:8). Whoever transgresses and does not abide in the doctrine of Christ does not have God. He who abides in the doctrine of Christ has both the Father and the Son. - 2 John 1:9 http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=2John1:9&version=NKJV

does not behave rudely, does not seek its own, is not provoked, thinks no evil; - 1 Corinthians 13:5 http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=1Corinthians13:5&version=NKJV Love thinks no evil. Is not resentful. Before resentment takes a foothold in our lives, let's bring all our thoughts captive to Christ (2 Corinthians 10:5). We must be ever mindful of the things of Christ, not the things of the world (Matthew 16:22-23). And resentment is worldly, not Christlike at all. We must guard our hearts (Proverbs 4:23) against this deadly spiritual poison or it'll ruin our lives spiritually and cause us to miss out on heaven. If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. - 1 John 1:9 http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=1John1:9&version=NKJV Think of all the times God has forgiven us, and that should kill resentment for sure.

1 Peter Chapter 2 Therefore, laying aside all malice, all deceit, hypocrisy, envy, and all evil speaking,as newborn babes, desire the pure milk of the word, that you may grow thereby,if indeed you have tasted that the Lord is gracious. - 1 Peter 2:1-3 http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=1Peter2:1-3&version=NKJV We must lay aside malice, deceit, hypocrisy, envy, and evil speaking. And desire His Word with a sincere heart.  Coming to Him as to a living stone, rejected indeed by men, but chosen by God and precious,you also, as living stones, are being built up a spiritual house, a holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ.Therefore it is also contained in the Scripture, “Behold, I lay in Zion A chief cornerstone, elect, precious, And he who believes on Him will by no means be put to shame.”Therefore, to you who believe, He is precious; but to those who are disobedient, “The stone which the builders rejected Has become t

Morning Sermon  Death  So also is the resurrection of the dead. The body is sown in corruption, it is raised in incorruption.It is sown in dishonor, it is raised in glory. It is sown in weakness, it is raised in power.It is sown a natural body, it is raised a spiritual body. There is a natural body, and there is a spiritual body.Now this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God; nor does corruption inherit incorruption. - 1 Corinthians 15:42-44,50 http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=1Corinthians15:42-44,50&version=NKJV We will be raised incorruptible, glorious, in power.

At the most, 80 (Psalm 90:10) If we die with our sins unforgiven, we'll condemn ourselves to hell (John 8:24).  But I do not want you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning those who have fallen asleep, lest you sorrow as

In his anger, he sinned. Killed his brother, Abel. The Bible says in Ephesians 4:26-27 to not sin in our anger. Don't even give the devil a foothold through this destructive force. Deal with anger correctly by going to God with it first. Pray for the other person you're

Stephen and Royce were in Montgomery, Alabama attending a funeral. So Larry Jackson preached the morning sermon, and Charlie Franks the afternoon sermon. Morning Sermon Living Our Lives But as the days of Noah were, so also will the coming of the Son of Man be.For as in the days before the flood, they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noah entered the ark,and did not know until the flood came and took them all away, so also will the coming of the Son of Man be.Then two men will be in the field: one will be taken and the other left.Two women will be grinding at the mill: one will be taken and the other left.Watch therefore, for you do not know what  hour your Lord is coming.But know this, that if the master of the house had known what  hour the thief would come, he would have watched and not allowed his house to be broken into.Therefore you also be ready, for the Son of Man is coming at an hour you do not expect. - Matthew 24:37-44 h

But is courteous, gracious, polite. For even  the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and  to give His life a ransom for many.” - Mark 10:45 http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Mark10:45&version=NKJV rose from supper and laid aside His garments, took a towel and girded Himself.After that, He poured water into a basin and began to wash the disciples’ feet, and to wipe them with the towel with which He was girded.Then He came to Simon Peter. And Peter said to Him, “Lord, are You washing my feet?”Jesus answered and said to him, “What I am doing you  do not understand now,  but you will know after this.”Peter said to Him, “You shall never wash my feet!” Jesus answered him, “If I do not wash you, you have no part with Me.”Simon Peter said to Him, “Lord, not my feet

James Chapter 5 Come now, you  rich, weep and howl for your miseries that are coming upon you!Your riches are corrupted, and your garments are moth-eaten.Your gold and silver are corroded, and their corrosion will be a witness against you and will eat your flesh like fire. You have heaped up treasure in the last days.Indeed the wages of the laborers who mowed your fields, which you kept back by fraud, cry out; and the cries of the reapers have reached the ears of the Lord of Sabaoth.You have lived on the earth in pleasure and luxury; you have fattened your hearts as in a day of slaughter.You have condemned, you have murdered the just; he does not resist you. - James 5:1-6 http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=James5:1-6&version=NKJV Don't sin with our wealth through  hoarding,  defrauding others, self indulgence, and oppressing others. Judgement is coming and riches will not save us.  Therefore be patient, brethren, until the coming of the Lord. See how the far

Morning Sermon Originated With God These twelve Jesus sent out and commanded them, saying: “Do not go into the way of the Gentiles, and do not enter a city of  the Samaritans.“Behold, I send you out as sheep in the midst of wolves.  Therefore be wise as serpents and  harmless  as doves.But beware of men, for  they will deliver you up to councils and  scourge you in their synagogues.You will be brought before governors and kings for My sake, as a testimony to them and to the Gentiles.But when they deliver you up, do not worry about how or what you should speak. For  it will be given to you in that hour what you should speak;for it is not you who speak, but the Spirit of your Father who speaks in you. - Matthew 10:5,16-20 http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Matthew10:5,16-20&version=NKJV Limited commission to the house of Israel that expanded to the Gentiles.
