A Guide For A Better Life
Scriptures
Exodus 13:21
21 And the Lord went before them by day in a pillar of a cloud, to lead them the way; and by night in a pillar of fire, to give them light; to go by day and night:
Psalms 119:105
105 NUN.Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path.
Proverbs 6:20-23
20 My son, keep thy father's commandment, and forsake not the law of thy mother:
21 Bind them continually upon thine heart, and tie them about thy neck.
22 When thou goest, it shall lead thee; when thou sleepest, it shall keep thee; and when thou awakest, it shall talk with thee.
23 For the commandment is a lamp; and the law is light; and reproofs of instruction are the way of life:
Psalms 119:11
11 Thy word have I hid in mine heart, that I might not sin against thee.
Psalm 19:8-10
8 The statutes of the Lord are right, rejoicing the heart: the commandment of the Lord is pure, enlightening the eyes.
9 The fear of the Lord is clean, enduring for ever: the judgments of the Lord are true and righteous altogether.
10 More to be desired are they than gold, yea, than much fine gold: sweeter also than honey and the honeycomb.
Psalm 119:9
9 BETH.Wherewithal shall a young man cleanse his way? by taking heed thereto according to thy word.
John 8:31-32
31 Then said Jesus to those Jews which believed on him, If ye continue in my word, then are ye my disciples indeed;
32 And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.
2 Timothy 3:16
16 All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:
Acts 2:38
38 Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost.
Main Points
"What lies behind us and what lies before us are tiny matters compared to what lies within us."
"If you don't know where you're going, any road'll take you there."
Keep his commandments, don't forsake the laws of the Church.
Put the Word of God in your heart.
If you don't have the Word of God in your heart, how can it come out of your mouth?
The Word of God will guide you.
The Word of God will lead you.
You are known by your character, your fruit.
When you sin, you're not cheating anyone else. You're cheating on God.
Love God and do what's right.
It's better than gold. It's better than all the money in the world.
Imagine being filthy rich and having the nastiest attitude in the world.
All people want is what you got. And when you run out, they're gone.
Do away with your old ways and follow Him. He will lead you to a better life!

Sunday Morning with Pastor Henderson - "Understanding the Fear of the Lord" - 11/22/15
Understanding the Fear of the Lord
Scriptures
Colossians 3:17
17 And whatsoever ye do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God and the Father by him.
Main Points
People get themselves into problems and only Jesus can pull them out.
If all the peoples of the world feared God, then they would all be converted or reconciled to Him.
There would then be one Lord, one faith, and one baptism.
If you don't do everything in word or deed in the name of Jesus, you don't have any right to say thank you Jesus for it. He doesn't have anything to do with whatever you do in your flesh.
When you do something wrong, God isn't going to baby you. He'll only forgive you when you get on your knees and repent. That's the only way.
Whatever you do, no matter what it is, do it in the name of the Lord!

Sunday Morning with Bro. Paschal - "I Can See My Promise" - 11/15/15
Bro. Paschal - I Can See My Promise
Scriptures
Deuteronomy 7:6-9
7 The Lord did not set his love upon you, nor choose you, because ye were more in number than any people; for ye were the fewest of all people:
8 But because the Lord loved you, and because he would keep the oath which he had sworn unto your fathers, hath the Lord brought you out with a mighty hand, and redeemed you out of the house of bondmen, from the hand of Pharaoh king of Egypt.
9 Know therefore that the Lord thy God, he is God, the faithful God, which keepeth covenant and mercy with them that love him and keep his commandments to a thousand generations;
Genesis 13:14-18
14 And the Lord said unto Abram, after that Lot was separated from him, Lift up now thine eyes, and look from the place where thou art northward, and southward, and eastward, and westward:
15 For all the land which thou seest, to thee will I give it, and to thy seed for ever.
16 And I will make thy seed as the dust of the earth: so that if a man can number the dust of the earth, then shall thy seed also be numbered.
17 Arise, walk through the land in the length of it and in the breadth of it; for I will give it unto thee.
18 Then Abram removed his tent, and came and dwelt in the plain of Mamre, which is in Hebron, and built there an altar unto the Lord.
Main Points
God didn't call us to be a curse or a liability.
God will always change in your condition.
Lot pitched his tent towards Sodom. So he had to go through things by himself.
You should be able to tell someone God is able.
We have to be ready to reach our promise.
We have to praise God for our promise.
We have to see our promise!

Sunday Morning with Pastor Henderson - "What Am I Giving Up?" - 11/8/15
What Am I Giving Up?
Scriptures

23 Buy the truth, and sell it not; also wisdom, and instruction, and understanding.
Romans 3:23
23 For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;
Romans 3:10
10 As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one:
1 Corinthians 6:19-20
19 What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own?
20 For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God's.
Romans 12:2
2 And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.
2 Corinthians 6:14-16
14 Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness?
15 And what concord hath Christ with Belial? or what part hath he that believeth with an infidel?
16 And what agreement hath the temple of God with idols? for ye are the temple of the living God; as God hath said, I will dwell in them, and walk in them; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people.
Main Points
Surrender to God; it's a lifestyle choice.
The Holy Ghost and sin don't mix.
You have to make a decision to give up everything to God.
The Word of God is Holy.
We won't become Holy unless we pray and love one another.
For God to show you his full blessings, you need to surrender your whole body to him.
Why do you fight the Word of God if you know it's true?
You fight God when you don't fully surrender to Him.

Deception
Scriptures
Proverbs 23:23
23 Buy the truth, and sell it not; also wisdom, and instruction, and understanding.
1 Corinthians 10:12
12 Wherefore let him that thinketh he standeth take heed lest he fall.
Main Points
Deception - to make a person believe what is not true - to delude - to mislead to decisive means - deliberate misrepresentation of facts by words or actions.
If we do not have a definitive love for the truth we are going to deceive ourselves and be deceived by others.
