Stand
Scriptures
Psalms 34:8
8 O taste and see that the Lord is good: blessed is the man that trusteth in him.
Proverbs 23:23
23 Buy the truth, and sell it not; also wisdom, and instruction, and understanding.
1st Corinthians 15:58
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.
1st Corinthians 16:13
13 Watch ye, stand fast in the faith, quit you like men, be strong.
Ephesians 6:14
14 Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness;
Main Points
Before you can sand for something you must believe in it.
How do you taste the Lord? By reading his Word daily! Do some research in the Bible!
God is an afterthought to this world.
You might look like a Christian, but if you are not reading the word of God, you are denying the power of God.
You might look like a Christian, but you don't have the tools to prove it.
God has already given us the victory. Too many Christians know the beginning of the Bible and the end of the Bible, but what about what's in between? If you don't practice what the Word of God says to do, you won't make it to the end.
You can't change the past, so focus on the future! Change your thinking today! You can do better today than you did yesterday!
Keep on keeping on! Don't give up! Sell out! Give God everything: your mind, your heart, your soul! Stand!

Thursday Night with Bro. Jonathan Moreno - "Do We Really Love God?" - 5/26/16
Do We Really Love God
Scriptures
1st Cor 2:1-5
And I, brethren, when I came to you, came not with excellency of speech or of wisdom, declaring unto you the testimony of God.
2 For I determined not to know any thing among you, save Jesus Christ, and him crucified.
3 And I was with you in weakness, and in fear, and in much trembling.
4 And my speech and my preaching was not with enticing words of man's wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power:
5 That your faith should not stand in the wisdom of men, but in the power of God.
1st Cor 7:35
And this I speak for your own profit; not that I may cast a snare upon you, but for that which is comely, and that ye may attend upon the Lord without distraction.
Mark 4:19
19 And the cares of this world, and the deceitfulness of riches, and the lusts of other things entering in, choke the word, and it becometh unfruitful.
Psalms 139:23-24
23 Search me, O God, and know my heart: try me, and know my thoughts:
24 And see if there be any wicked way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting.
1 Cor 15:31
31 I protest by your rejoicing which I have in Christ Jesus our Lord, I die daily.
Matthew 26:39-40
39 And he went a little further, and fell on his face, and prayed, saying, O my Father, if it be possible, let this cup pass from me: nevertheless not as I will, but as thou wilt.
40 And he cometh unto the disciples, and findeth them asleep, and saith unto Peter, What, could ye not watch with me one hour?
Main Points
Don't let the distractions of this world alter your path from living for God.
You've got to sell out to God.
Listen to God as he perfects you, have him search you and tell you what you need to fix in order to live for him!
If we really loved him, we would pray to him everyday and make him our everything.
We would listen to what he says to do!

Sunday Morning with Pastor Henderson - "How To Follow God" - 5/22/16
How To Follow God
Scriptures
Psalms 32:8-9
8 I will instruct thee and teach thee in the way which thou shalt go: I will guide thee with mine eye.
9 Be ye not as the horse, or as the mule, which have no understanding: whose mouth must be held in with bit and bridle, lest they come near unto thee.
Matthew 14:23
23 And when he had sent the multitudes away, he went up into a mountain apart to pray: and when the evening was come, he was there alone.
Mark 1:35
35 And in the morning, rising up a great while before day, he went out, and departed into a solitary place, and there prayed.
Luke 5:16
16 And he withdrew himself into the wilderness, and prayed.
Luke 6:12
12 And it came to pass in those days, that he went out into a mountain to pray, and continued all night in prayer to God.
Luke 22:39-42
39 And he came out, and went, as he was wont, to the mount of Olives; and his disciples also followed him.
40 And when he was at the place, he said unto them, Pray that ye enter not into temptation.
41 And he was withdrawn from them about a stone's cast, and kneeled down, and prayed,
42 Saying, Father, if thou be willing, remove this cup from me: nevertheless not my will, but thine, be done.
43 And there appeared an angel unto him from heaven, strengthening him.
44 And being in an agony he prayed more earnestly: and his sweat was as it were great drops of blood falling down to the ground.
45 And when he rose up from prayer, and was come to his disciples, he found them sleeping for sorrow,
46 And said unto them, Why sleep ye? rise and pray, lest ye enter into temptation.
Deuteronomy 6:4-9
4 Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God is one Lord:
5 And thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thine heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy might.
6 And these words, which I command thee this day, shall be in thine heart:
7 And thou shalt teach them diligently unto thy children, and shalt talk of them when thou sittest in thine house, and when thou walkest by the way, and when thou liest down, and when thou risest up.
8 And thou shalt bind them for a sign upon thine hand, and they shall be as frontlets between thine eyes.
9 And thou shalt write them upon the posts of thy house, and on thy gates.
Ephesians 6:1-3
1 Children, obey your parents in the Lord: for this is right.
2 Honour thy father and mother; (which is the first commandment with promise;)
3 That it may be well with thee, and thou mayest live long on the earth.
Colossians 3:22-23
22 Servants, obey in all things your masters according to the flesh; not with eyeservice, as menpleasers; but in singleness of heart, fearing God:
23 And whatsoever ye do, do it heartily, as to the Lord, and not unto men;
Main Points
- Pray -- every day, every morning. Pray that you can resist temptation, resist the devil, that you can love one another...
-"Not my will, but thine be done" -- Write this down somewhere so you will see it everyday and remember to pray
- Love the Lord with all your heart. If you love the Lord, then you would pray to him everyday. If you can't do this, then how are you going to be able to love thy neighbor as thyself? And furthermore, how will you keep all the rest of the commandments?
- If you do not obey the Bible, you are not going to go to Heaven. It didn't say some, it said ALL things. Mercy will not cover you; obedience will.
- When you don't pray you are betraying Jesus.
- Prayer and obedience go hand in hand. If you don't pray, then you are definitely not going to obey.
If you don't pray, you will not be in obedience with the Word of God and you will not be in obedience with the man of God.
- Pray so that you can obey. Pray for God to help you pray more and more. You won't get anything if you don't talk to God.
- As long as you are IN the church you will be blessed. The day you leave the church, your blessing will leave as well.
- Living as a Christian is a job. It is not just a hobby or an interest. We are supposed to be ambassadors for Christ representing him in ALL we do!
- If you are not all together at home or at your job, then how are you going to act in the church? You are the same person. You can't hide from God.
- How you act wherever you are is a representation of who you are.
- You are in an interview for God 24/7. This is your interview on Earth to see if you are worthy for the job in Heaven. So you need to be on you best behavior 24/7.
- Be honest with yourself.
- Do things unto God, not to please others.
- Make up your mind to Live for God. Commit to it. It's a miserable life to have one foot in, one foot out. Pick one or the other. Make the right choice; follow Jesus!

Sunday Morning with Pastor Henderson - "The Natural Man" - 5/1/16
The Natural Man
Scriptures
Isaiah 55:8-9
8 For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith the Lord.
9 For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts.
Galations 5:16-21
16 This I say then, Walk in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh.
17 For the flesh lusteth against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh: and these are contrary the one to the other: so that ye cannot do the things that ye would.
18 But if ye be led of the Spirit, ye are not under the law.
19 Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these; Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness,
20 Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies,
21 Envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like: of the which I tell you before, as I have also told you in time past, that they which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God.
1 Corinthians 2:14
14 But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned.
John 3:5-6
5 Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God.
6 That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.
Jeremiah 17:9-10
9 The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it?
10 I the Lord search the heart, I try the reins, even to give every man according to his ways, and according to the fruit of his doings.
Ephesians 2:1-2
1 And you hath he quickened, who were dead in trespasses and sins;
2 Wherein in time past ye walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that now worketh in the children of disobedience:
Main Points
If you don't pray you will do everything that the flesh wants to do.
Sin and condemnation keep you from meeting God like you are supposed to.
You need to get rid of the natural man by being born again of the water and the spirit.
Seek Jesus as your savior!

Sunday Morning with Pastor Henderson - "Seven Things God Hates" - 4/24/16
Seven Things God Hates
Scriptures
Malachi 3:6
6 For I am the Lord, I change not; therefore ye sons of Jacob are not consumed.
Proverbs 6:18-19
18 An heart that deviseth wicked imaginations, feet that be swift in running to mischief,
19 A false witness that speaketh lies, and he that soweth discord among brethren.
1 John 2:16
16 For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world.
Psalms 10:4
4 The wicked, through the pride of his countenance, will not seek after God: God is not in all his thoughts.
1 Peter 5:5
5 Likewise, ye younger, submit yourselves unto the elder. Yea, all of you be subject one to another, and be clothed with humility: for God resisteth the proud, and giveth grace to the humble.
John 8:44
44 Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it.
Rev 22:14-16
14 Blessed are they that do his commandments, that they may have right to the tree of life, and may enter in through the gates into the city.
15 For without are dogs, and sorcerers, and whoremongers, and murderers, and idolaters, and whosoever loveth and maketh a lie.
16 I Jesus have sent mine angel to testify unto you these things in the churches. I am the root and the offspring of David, and the bright and morning star.
Deuteronomy 19:10
10 That innocent blood be not shed in thy land, which the Lord thy God giveth thee for an inheritance, and so blood be upon thee.

Therefore for all the words of this letter, and of that which they had seen concerning this matter, and which had come unto them,
Proverbs 4:2020 My son, attend to my words; incline thine ear unto my sayings.
21 Let them not depart from thine eyes; keep them in the midst of thine heart.
22 For they are life unto those that find them, and health to all their flesh.
23 Keep thy heart with all diligence; for out of it are the issues of life.
2 Thessolonians 3:11
11 For we hear that there are some which walk among you disorderly, working not at all, but are busybodies.
