Sunday Morning with Pastor Henderson - "How To Be Saved" - 4/10/16

How To Be Saved


Scriptures

John 10:10
The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly.

Matthew 16:13-19
¹³ When Jesus came into the coasts of Caesarea Philippi, he asked his disciples, saying, Whom do men say that I the Son of man am?
¹⁴ And they said, Some say that thou art John the Baptist: some, Elias; and others, Jeremias, or one of the prophets.
¹⁵ He saith unto them, But whom say ye that I am?
¹⁶ And Simon Peter answered and said, Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God.
¹⁷ And Jesus answered and said unto him, Blessed art thou, Simon Barjona: for flesh and blood hath not revealed it unto thee, but my Father which is in heaven.
¹⁸ And I say also unto thee, That thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.
¹⁹ And I will give unto thee the keys of the kingdom of heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven.

 Acts 1:4-17
⁴ And, being assembled together with them, commanded them that they should not depart from Jerusalem, but wait for the promise of the Father, which, saith he, ye have heard of me.
⁵ For John truly baptized with water; but ye shall be baptized with the Holy Ghost not many days hence.
⁶ When they therefore were come together, they asked of him, saying, Lord, wilt thou at this time restore again the kingdom to Israel?
⁷ And he said unto them, It is not for you to know the times or the seasons, which the Father hath put in his own power.
⁸ But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth.
⁹ And when he had spoken these things, while they beheld, he was taken up; and a cloud received him out of their sight.
¹⁰ And while they looked stedfastly toward heaven as he went up, behold, two men stood by them in white apparel;
¹¹ Which also said, Ye men of Galilee, why stand ye gazing up into heaven? this same Jesus, which is taken up from you into heaven, shall so come in like manner as ye have seen him go into heaven.
¹² Then returned they unto Jerusalem from the mount called Olivet, which is from Jerusalem a sabbath day's journey.
¹³ And when they were come in, they went up into an upper room, where abode both Peter, and James, and John, and Andrew, Philip, and Thomas, Bartholomew, and Matthew, James the son of Alphaeus, and Simon Zelotes, and Judas the brother of James.
¹⁴ These all continued with one accord in prayer and supplication, with the women, and Mary the mother of Jesus, and with his brethren.
¹⁵ And in those days Peter stood up in the midst of the disciples, and said, (the number of names together were about an hundred and twenty,)
¹⁶ Men and brethren, this scripture must needs have been fulfilled, which the Holy Ghost by the mouth of David spake before concerning Judas, which was guide to them that took Jesus.
¹⁷ For he was numbered with us, and had obtained part of this ministry.

Acts 2:14
But Peter, standing up with the eleven, lifted up his voice, and said unto them, Ye men of Judaea, and all ye that dwell at Jerusalem, be this known unto you, and hearken to my words:


Acts 2:36-42
³⁶ Therefore let all the house of Israel know assuredly, that God hath made the same Jesus, whom ye have crucified, both Lord and Christ.
³⁷ Now when they heard this, they were pricked in their heart, and said unto Peter and to the rest of the apostles, Men and brethren, what shall we do?
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.
³⁹ For the promise is unto you, and to your children, and to all that are afar off, even as many as the Lord our God shall call.
⁴¹ Then they that gladly received his word were baptized: and the same day there were added unto them about three thousand souls.
⁴² And they continued stedfastly in the apostles' doctrine and fellowship, and in breaking of bread, and in prayers.



Main Points

As Christians, sometimes we are asleep at the wheel and don't even know it; heading for a big collision. We need to wake up before it's too late.

Church shouldn't be something we go to, it should be something we belong to. We are ambassadors of our church and of Christ and we need to act like it.

You need the Holy Ghost and you need to be baptized in Jesus Name!

Sunday Morning with Pastor Henderson - "Dont' Stop Praying' - 3/13/16

Don't Stop Praying


Scriptures

Romans 13:11
11  And that, knowing the time, that now it is high time to awake out of sleep: for now is our salvation nearer than when we believed.

1 Chronicles 16:11
11  Seek the Lord and his strength, seek his face continually.

Hosea 14:1-3
1  O Israel, return unto the Lord thy God; for thou hast fallen by thine iniquity.
2  Take with you words, and turn to the Lord: say unto him, Take away all iniquity, and receive us graciously: so will we render the calves of our lips.
3  Asshur shall not save us; we will not ride upon horses: neither will we say any more to the work of our hands, Ye are our gods: for in thee the fatherless findeth mercy.

Matthew 26:41
41  Watch and pray, that ye enter not into temptation: the spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak.

Mark 13:32-34
32  But of that day and that hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels which are in heaven, neither the Son, but the Father.
33  Take ye heed, watch and pray: for ye know not when the time is.
34  For the Son of man is as a man taking a far journey, who left his house, and gave authority to his servants, and to every man his work, and commanded the porter to watch.


Main Points

Seek God like you seek food.

How much did you pray when you first came to God?
And how much do spend now?

Prayer is like a cup of coffee.  You need prayer to wake up the spirit.  Then, like you stir up your coffee, you need to stir up your spirit.

Sunday Evening with Bro. Platania - "The Other Son" - 3/6/16

Audio File:  The Other Son

Scriptures

Luke 15:25
25  Now his elder son was in the field: and as he came and drew nigh to the house, he heard musick and dancing.
26  And he called one of the servants, and asked what these things meant.
27  And he said unto him, Thy brother is come; and thy father hath killed the fatted calf, because he hath received him safe and sound.
28  And he was angry, and would not go in: therefore came his father out, and intreated him.
29  And he answering said to his father, Lo, these many years do I serve thee, neither transgressed I at any time thy commandment: and yet thou never gavest me a kid, that I might make merry with my friends:
30  But as soon as this thy son was come, which hath devoured thy living with harlots, thou hast killed for him the fatted calf.
31  And he said unto him, Son, thou art ever with me, and all that I have is thine.
32  It was meet that we should make merry, and be glad: for this thy brother was dead, and is alive again; and was lost, and is found.



Main Points

God can give you back your life, your identity, your future.

You have to celebrate righteousness and faithfulness.

If your friends don't want to come to church, don't want to live for God, don't follow them. Stay in the house.

It's not about them, it's about your father's house. It's about you and your future.

God said everything that is mine, is yours.

Sunday Morning with Bro. Platania - "You and The Crowd" - 3/6/16

Audio File:  You and The Crowd



Scriptures

Exodus 23:2
2  Thou shalt not follow a multitude to do evil; neither shalt thou speak in a cause to decline after many to wrest judgment:



Main Points

The strongest force of nature is Jesus Christ.
You can't change anything around you until God changes you.


When God changes you, you will change everything around you.

When you see crowds in the Bible, you see people who were influenced by those around them, a lot of times pertaining to life and death.

The crowd can affect your mind and your ability to make good decisions.

For example, when it came to Jesus and Parabus.
The crowd was blinded by the general thought to crucify a man who had done nothing wrong and free a criminal.

What you decide to do with your life can be influenced by the crowd. When it comes to living for Jesus, the crowd may influence you to steer a different way. It's easy to do what everyone else is doing.

 If you have a choice today to choose between Parabus and Jesus; life and death; you cannot let the crowd influence you to do what they are doing. You need to make up your mind on your own to pick life, pick Jesus.

A crowd cam hold you back.  If you need something from Jesus don't let the crowd hold you back. You need go to the alter, fight to the front, whatever you have to do to get to Jesus. You have to get desperate.

Don't worry about what others are going to think about you. People are too busy with their own issues to worry about yours. You need to step out and go for Jesus no matter what.

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
⁹ 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!
