Sunday Morning with Pastor Henderson - "Surrender to God" - 2/28/16

Surrender to God


Scriptures

James 1:17
17 Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and cometh down from the Father of lights, with whom is no variableness, neither shadow of turning.

Jerimiah 10:23
23 O Lord, I know that the way of man is not in himself: it is not in man that walketh to direct his steps.

Philippians 4:13
13 I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me.

John 12:26
26 If any man serve me, let him follow me; and where I am, there shall also my servant be: if any man serve me, him will my Father honour.


Main Points

Worship is a time when we pay deep, sincere, awesome respect, love, and fear to the one who created us.

Surrender means to yield ownership, to relinquish control over what we consider "ours".
 

When we surrender to God we are acknowledging that what we "own" actually belongs to Him.

He is the giver of all good things.

We are responsible to care for what God has given us, as stewards of his property, but by surrendering to God. we admit that he is in control of everything.

By surrendering to God, we let go of whatever has kept us from wanting God's ways first.

You have to be a servant.

Sunday Morning with Bro. Paschal - "The Word Must Go On" - 2/21/16

 Bro. Paschal - The Word Must Go On


Scriptures

1 Corinthians 15:57-58
57 But thanks be to God, which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.
58 Therefore, my beloved brethren, be ye stedfast, unmoveable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, forasmuch as ye know that your labour is not in vain in the Lord.

1 Corinthians 9:9-14
For it is written in the law of Moses, thou shalt not muzzle the mouth of the ox that treadeth out the corn. Doth God take care for oxen?
10 Or saith he it altogether for our sakes? For our sakes, no doubt, this is written: that he that ploweth should plow in hope; and that he that thresheth in hope should be partaker of his hope.
11 If we have sown unto you spiritual things, is it a great thing if we shall reap your carnal things?
12 If others be partakers of this power over you, are not we rather? Nevertheless we have not used this power; but suffer all things, lest we should hinder the gospel of Christ.
13 Do ye not know that they which minister about holy things live of the things of the temple? and they which wait at the altar are partakers with the altar?
14 Even so hath the Lord ordained that they which preach the gospel should live of the gospel.


Main Points

"Even so hath the Lord ordained that they which preach the gospel should live of the gospel."

Don't worry about the enemy, God already has them under control.

God uses your adversary to make you better.

Always abound in the Work of the Lord. 

God has a plan.

When you identify your Man of God and the anointing God has placed on his life, you will see the vision God has given him.

God has given you a visionary.

Don't allow yourself to be so cynical that you miss out on an avenue for help.

Faith without works is dead!

Sunday Morning with Pastor Henderson - "Keep" - 2/7/16

Keep


Scriptures

Proverbs 7:1-2
1  My son, keep my words, and lay up my commandments with thee.
2  Keep my commandments, and live; and my law as the apple of thine eye.

Proverbs 3:1-7
1  My son, forget not my law; but let thine heart keep my commandments:
2  For length of days, and long life, and peace, shall they add to thee.
3  Let not mercy and truth forsake thee: bind them about thy neck; write them upon the table of thine heart:
4  So shalt thou find favour and good understanding in the sight of God and man.
5  Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding.
6  In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths.
7  Be not wise in thine own eyes: fear the Lord, and depart from evil.




Proverbs 14:12
12  There is a way which seemeth right unto a man, but the end thereof are the ways of death.



Ephesians 3:14-17
14  For this cause I bow my knees unto the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ,
15  Of whom the whole family in heaven and earth is named,
16  That he would grant you, according to the riches of his glory, to be strengthened with might by his Spirit in the inner man;
17  That Christ may dwell in your hearts by faith; that ye, being rooted and grounded in love,
18  May be able to comprehend with all saints what is the breadth, and length, and depth, and height;

Proverbs 3:16
16  Length of days is in her right hand; and in her left hand riches and honour.
17  Her ways are ways of pleasantness, and all her paths are peace.
18  She is a tree of life to them that lay hold upon her: and happy is every one that retaineth her.


Main Points

If you choose not to keep what you got today, it's on you.

Fear God and keep His commandments!

If you keep His commandments and do what's right, you will be blessed.

If you choose not to you will be rich/poor and miserable.

If you follow his commandments you will have wisdom; which will lead to honor, pleasure, wealth and security!

Those that become wise will be happy!




Sunday Morning with Pastor Henderson - "Is Your Love for God Sincere?" - 1/31/16

Is Your Love for God Sincere?


Scriptures

Jeremiah 17:9
9  The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it?

Jeremiah 20:12
12  But, O Lord of hosts, that triest the righteous, and seest the reins and the heart, let me see thy vengeance on them: for unto thee have I opened my cause.

Job 1:6
6  Now there was a day when the sons of God came to present themselves before the Lord, and Satan came also among them.

Gen 22:2
2  And he said, Take now thy son, thine only son Isaac, whom thou lovest, and get thee into the land of Moriah; and offer him there for a burnt offering upon one of the mountains which I will tell thee of.


Main Points

Testing is a normal part of righteous living.

Experiencing trials shouldn't be unusual for believers. All righteous people are tested from time to time by the One who created them.

The Lord already knows our hearts.

He uses tests to reveal to us our priorities so we can adjust them if necessary.

Your actions determine your love for God.
