Suday Morning with Pastor Henderson - "Stay In Him" - 9/25/16

Scriptures

John 15:1-7

1 I am the true vine, and my Father is the husbandman.
2 Every branch in me that beareth not fruit he taketh away: and every [branch] that beareth fruit, he purgeth it, that it may bring forth more fruit.

3 Now ye are clean through the word which I have spoken unto you.
4 Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, except it abide in the vine; no more can ye, except ye abide in me.
5 I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing.
6 If a man abide not in me, he is cast forth as a branch, and is withered; and men gather them, and cast them into the fire, and they are burned.
7 If ye abide in me, and my words abide in you, ye shall ask what ye will, and it shall be done unto you.


Main Points

The answer to life's problems and goals lies in a proper reverance for God who is perfect in all his being and actions.
We need to not just confess God, but to surrender everything to Him by letting him truly be God in every area of our life.
Stay in Him and he can help you.
But if you separate from Him, then you are on your own.

1 And Jesus answered and spake unto them again by parables, and said,
2 The kingdom of heaven is like unto a certain king, which made a marriage for his son,
3 And sent forth his servants to call them that were bidden to the wedding: and they would not come.

4 Again, he sent forth other servants, saying, Tell them which are bidden, Behold, I have prepared my dinner: my oxen and my fatlings are killed, and all things are ready: come unto the marriage.
5 But they made light of it, and went their ways, one to his farm, another to his merchandise.

Main Points

• Overflowing Blessings
• Spiritual Feast
• Glorious Inheritance
• Heavenly Home

God already has a path written for you, but if you choose not to follow him, you will never see the end of it. 
In order to go down God's path, you have to obey Him.
You write your own life story when you go off on your own.
You can either walk with Him, or without Him. It's your choice.

2 Kings 13:14-25
¹⁴ Now Elisha was fallen sick of his sickness whereof he died. And Joash the king of Israel came down unto him, and wept over his face, and said, O my father, my father, the chariot of Israel, and the horsemen thereof.
¹⁵ And Elisha said unto him, Take bow and arrows. And he took unto him bow and arrows.
¹⁶ And he said to the king of Israel, Put thine hand upon the bow. And he put his hand upon it: and Elisha put his hands upon the king's hands.
¹⁷ And he said, Open the window eastward. And he opened it. Then Elisha said, Shoot. And he shot. And he said, The arrow of the Lord's deliverance, and the arrow of deliverance from Syria: for thou shalt smite the Syrians in Aphek, till thou have consumed them.
¹⁸ And he said, Take the arrows. And he took them. And he said unto the king of Israel, Smite upon the ground. And he smote thrice, and stayed.
¹⁹ And the man of God was wroth with him, and said, Thou shouldest have smitten five or six times; then hadst thou smitten Syria till thou hadst consumed it: whereas now thou shalt smite Syria but thrice.
²⁰ And Elisha died, and they buried him. And the bands of the Moabites invaded the land at the coming in of the year.
²¹ And it came to pass, as they were burying a man, that, behold, they spied a band of men; and they cast the man into the sepulchre of Elisha: and when the man was let down, and touched the bones of Elisha, he revived, and stood up on his feet.
²² But Hazael king of Syria oppressed Israel all the days of Jehoahaz.
²³ And the Lord was gracious unto them, and had compassion on them, and had respect unto them, because of his covenant with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, and would not destroy them, neither cast he them from his presence as yet.
²⁴ So Hazael king of Syria died; and Benhadad his son reigned in his stead.

1 John 2:5
⁵ But whoso keepeth his word, in him verily is the love of God perfected: hereby know we that we are in him.
