Pastor Gray begins his sermon by discussing the gift of music he has and involves others of the congregation as well. He expounds on the importance of activating our faith by using the gifts God has given us for His kingdom.
We will all account for whether used our gifts or not when w appear before the judgment seat, 2 Corinthians 5:10.
To do this you must know My heart’s desire.
It’s not building churches bigger or increasing the size of a parking lot. But it’s changing lives one life at a time. Not by instruction or classes, but by walking in love and obedience. It’s loving your brother and reaching out to him.
It begins by repentance in your own life. You must forgive every person no matter what offense. As you do this faithfully, you become My vessel to be filled with My presence and power. Power to love and heal.
Be encouraged this day. Be determined to walk in My love and forgiveness. Don’t focus on circumstances, but keep your eyes on My promises. Believe the Bible. Do what it says. It is still truth and life abundant. Have faith, always be forgiving and remember, I am coming soon.
Will I find you ready?
Fix your eyes on Jesus. God’s at work; He hasn’t forgotten you or your circumstance. He will work His good and perfect will accordingly.
PRC Director Libby Owens discusses how God is at work in lives and reaching out to women through the pregnancy resource center of St. Joseph, MO.
Do you know that your heart will determine what you believe? And those beliefs are kept safe and strong each day as you think on all the promises in My Word.
Thoughts can’t just fly around at random, because you cement them with My Word. What I promise I will accomplish. If someone thinks they are unattractive, all the beauty aids in the world won’t change that. But if they believe they are wonderfully made and called for My purpose, then they will embrace life as I planned.
Examine your heart—for where it goes, your life will follow. Walk in My love, forgive every day, and know always I love you and have a great destiny for you. Don’t live below it. Remember that “Greater is He that is in you.” “In” is My promise. How you live it is your choice.
What is in your heart?
The Potter is one who chooses the clay (dirt). The one to decide what pot to use, whether it’s large or small, decorated or plain. One who presses in dirt the seed of his choice.
The Potter is obligated to tend to the plant. It is his delight to see growth. The seed (My children, My church) will grow into a healthy and strong plant. Whether it’s for shade or to grow food to nourish others is the potter’s choice.
But more than a plant whose span of life is but for a season, My children will live with Me forever. The plans I have for you are more glorious than even your imagination. As sunshine and rain are cycles necessary to grow any plant, let My children have hope and strength for all their days ahead.
Know that as with every devoted gardener, I will never leave you. I will feed, tend, and protect for you are more precious than you can know. Trust Me and the storms of life will only make you stronger.
I love you.
There’s a lost and dying world around us. Are we being the light they need to find their way to Jesus?
In looking at Luke 12:18-21 and Zephaniah 1:9-12, Pastor Bill discusses the choice we have to either let complacency and apathy kill us or choose God and seek after Him.
Trust Me to provide all you need and to feed you, not with food that will not satisfy, but with a banquet table. For I long to give to My children to provide all you need. Seek provision and food from Me, not of this world.
Open My Word and find nourishment for your soul. Be filled and satisfied from the meat of the Word.
Babies grow on milk, but My children need the strong nutrition of the meat of My Word. It will strengthen and grow you up. It will satisfy the hunger in you.
Don’t look to the world to fill an empty stomach, for you will hunger again and again. Most will run to the store to purchase food to satisfy their hunger, but in time they will hunger again. My Word will never leave you. It will strengthen, nourish, and grow faith in you. Isn’t that what you want growing up in you?
Come and eat. Soak in My Word. And watch your life change.
If you accept part of the truth, you are accepting a lie. Truth must be kept whole.
Pastor Gray takes a compelling look knowing “exact truth” as stated in Luke 1:4 and at apathy in the church today.
Pastor Larry Gray discusses taking God’s Word at face value with a look at 2 Chronicles 7:12-14 and applying it to today’s Christians.
The church has allowed humanism and secularism to enter into the church and call it normal. We can bring about change in the Church and in the world through prayer.
Music is the alignment to your soul. It places you where I can speak and move.
Be ready to participate in a more powerful way, and to receive as never before.
Thus saith the Lord!
