Steps to the Solution

Romans 3:9-20 All are under sin.  None is righteous, no not one. 
Hearing about your problems is not the solution.
How to change the way you think.  
The devil distracts you.  The problem is not people.  Satan uses people.
A lot of it is your own fault.  Have we forgotten who God is?  Our weapons are not carnal.  Problem is flesh.
We just want a solution. But are we willing to change?
Don’t criticize authority.
Everyone blames everyone else.  People want to do what they want to do.
You don’t have the solution to you.  No one is righteous.
Romans 3?11 No one understands. No one does good, no not one.  Understanding is messed up.
Going to have to get ahold of God. Make some steps to make solutions.
When you obey the laws of the Lord. God will take care of the lawbreakers.
Must fear God.  Starts with you!  Start doing right.
Come back to the house of God.  Be the solution.
Steps to Solution:
1) Identify the problem-identifying does not solve it.
2) We need long term solutions to the problem.
3) We have to face our sins-become more conscious of our sin. 
But we still need a solution.
4) A problem without a solution -people are left in hopelessness.
5) Key to freedom(gives hope to the receiver)
Romans 3:21 Source/Solution
6) Righteousness of God is being manifested.
Sin weighs us down.
Guilt-standing accused.
Dead in our trespasses and sin.
But-now enters the grace for the guilty.
7)Hope is here.
Romans 3:19
Romans 1:17
Gospel of Righteousness revealed.
Exodus 23:20
 


Sure Foundation

Matt7:24-27 Hears Word and does it.  Wise man who builds his house on a Rock.
Firm, solid foundation.  If you don’t feel the Rock, don’t move.  Help me find the 
Rock and stand on it. Many people can’t feel the Rock.
There is a foundation. You must invest more than looks, talents.  Build on the Rock.
Luke 6:47-49 He doesn’t want us to fall.  The Rock won’t move. God changes not.
Gen 26:18 All the wells will be opened. God will unstop wells.  God hears what people say.  They don’t think I can restore. One Word from God can change your whole life.
The well open. What man cannot do, God can do. We are still here. Everything satan has taken, God is getting ready to give back.

Love-Taking Action

Pastor Michael Ruth
5-1-22 Morning Service
 
“Wherever you go, there you are.”
Love requires action.
Reach the people around us.
Matt22:36
Teacher what is the greatest commandment?
Love God, love your neighbor as you love yourself.
Love (English definition) Intense feeling of  deep affection.
Emotional state of feelings.
Deeper meaning in Greek:
1) Eros- sensual- only inside of marriage.  It has it’s place.
2) Phileo- brotherly type of love. Jesus had phileo  love for his disciples-friends.
Jesus was a friend of sinners-tax collectors. Matt 11:19
3)Storge- family love connection-whether we like it or not, it is a call to action.
4) Agape- Call to action. God’s love for human kind. Unconditional love. Matt 2:37. Agape-actively doing what the Lord prefers.  Showing preference for what the Lord
desires above our own preferences.
Love is a verb- causes you to do something.  You see it in your actions. Put others needs above our own.
Romans 5:8 Christi died for us when we didn’t deserve it. No matter what the other person is doing. Learn to love the way God intends even when other people don’t deserve it. If you base love on others actions it will be a roller coaster.
Matt 22:39 Love your neighbor as yourself. Take actions-others needs before your own.
John 3:18 Love in action and in truth.  It’s about taking action. 
Words are powerful. God wants to use us to touch people. God wants to give us the desires of our heart. 
John 3:16 For God so loved the world that He gave….


Who do Men Say That Iam?

4-17-22
Pastor Gloria
 
Matt 16:13-18 Who do men say I am?
Hebrews 9:22 Threre is a fountain filled with blood, drawn from the veind of God, and sinners ;lunged beneath that flood lose all their guilty stains. 
Isaiah 55:6-7 Abundantly pardoned (plunged beneath that flood)
Seek Him- Seek the Lord while he may be found.
We don’t deserve forgiveness….. But God.
There is power in the name of Jesus and everything He’s said or done or will do. Who am I to you?
Who are you trying to measure up to?
God positions you.  Do you have anything you want me to do?
Whose servant are you?
What type of relationship do you have with Me?
“You are the Christ”
God will bring humility. Gifts are given.
Without the sheding of blood there is no forgiveness of sin.

God knows our heart.Ezra 7:10
Ps 69:5
Hebrew 4:13

Study to show yourself approved.  God wants you to enjoy life. TIme we realize there is captivity going on . A man that had studied – God used that man in captivity.  
Any one can just fit in.

Divine Intervention February 2022

Sunday 2-27-22
Pastor Gloria
 
Zephaniah 3:17-20
God is a God of intervention.
On that day–fear not O Zion. Let not your hands grow weak.
God is a personal God. He knows the thoughts we think.
As a Christian, be who you are.  You are part of something greater than you.
People think they can do without the church.  Forsake not the assembling of yourselves together.    God has a heart of mercy.
Sometimes we have to go through things. Things in your life will change you..
Quit your nonsense.
Zeph 3:17
You will face adversity with God walking with you.  God will quiet you with His love.
The Lord will fight the battle for you.  The closer you get to God, more persecution.
God wants us to have something that others want.  He gives us strength. God loves you.  He is always present. God has mercy on us.  Get Ready!
How do YOU need intervention?
Isaiah 64:8  We are formed out of dust.
Haggai !:7-9 Consider your ways.  That I may be glorified.  Inward house-you are the temple. God knows what is coming.
We need divine intervention.
How do you want God to intervene for you?  Someone has to cry out to God. 
What do you need Him to intervene for you for?
