Gal 1:8-9
The gospel does not change.
Jesus is the cornerstone. Everything we do has to be measured to Jesus, just as every subsequent rock in a building was measured and levelled against the cornerstone.

Rev 1:20
The church is the lampstand in this verse. The lamp stand required specific oil for fueling it. In this same manner, the church requires a specific "fuel" to work; the Holy Spirit. As a lampstand,  we are to illuminate only one: Jesus Christ.

Spread the good news of the Kingdom of God. The good news is that anyone can enter freely, to a Kingdom where there is no death, no sparrow, no harm. But love, joy, and eternal life.

2 Cor 5:20

We used to be there, but have separated ourselves. We can return and be reconciled, and be in the Kingdom of God.

An expanding kingdom has authentic supporting evidence. When we declare that a new Kingdom is here, there has to be evidence, as is clear with the signs and wonders following those who obey God.

Make the church healthy. Healthy things grow.

The Kingdom of God should invade every area of your life. You can't have a bread that is half leavened. Yeast affects every part of a loaf, just like we should surrender every part of our life. And when we do, we will grow!

To work on time

I had the intention of leaving to work on time this morning, but I left late because the freezing rain last night froze my door shut, and windows required heavy scraping. I was able to get in the car after some prying, and scraped a "hole" big enough to see ahead of me through the windshield (not best practice). After asking the Lord for help in getting to work on time, I arrived safely, and with a minute to spare :) Praise God!

Sermon Notes from January 18, 2015

Sermon notes, CITW, January 18, 2015 "Necessity of Oneness" The devil plants lies in peoples minds. The only way you're going to be truly happy is by following the principles found in the Word. Oneness - joined together in unity. Moving in the same direction. Same goals.  You don't want everyone to be the same as you. We were made different for the following reason: 1 Cor 12:25 Gen 2:24, Mat 19:3-8, Mark 10:2, Eph 5:25-27, 1 Cor 6:15-17 : The use of one flesh has been used five times. When man and female come together the union is part of the image of God... As the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit are one. How do you become one... Let's consider how we became one spirit with the Lord...we had to die. Die to self. It is similar with our spouse...we have to die to self. Often times we focus on being right...but we should focus on being right with our spouse.  The key to a successful Christian life? You must die to yourself. The key to a successful marriage? Yo...
