  • The Best Sermon Ever - Week 5
    Matthew 7:21-29
    Vs. 21“Lord, Lord” Just because we know his name doesn’t mean we truly have a relationship with him.
    “Who actually do the will of my father” There is a big difference between knowing and doing. What you do vs what you believe
    Vs. 22“We prophesied…cast out demons…performed miracles” All in the name of Jesus, but you heart was far from him. It wasn’t for him it was for you. It more than being a “good” person. James 1:22-25
    Vs. 23“I never knew you” You are not one of mine, you only claimed me when it was convenient for you, or when you thought it would make you look better.
    Vs. 24“hears…and acts on them” Pay attention to what is being said but it doesn’t end there. You have to put the words into actions.
    “wise man” What does the wise man do? He builds his house on the ROCK
    Vs. 25“rain…floods…wind” The storms will come in all shapes and sizes
    “yet it did not fall” The storms threw everything they had at it but it did not fall. Why? It had been founded on the ROCK!!!
    Vs. 26“hears…and does NOT act on them” If you hear but don’t act you are FOOLISH. Who builds their house on the sand? Many of you in this room…
    Vs 27“rain…floods…wind” The Storms will come no matter what you build your foundation on. So, you better be ready
    “great was its fall” Why did it fall? What was the difference in the two houses?
    Living on a weak foundation isn’t always by choice, sometimes it because you never talk the time to stop and think about it. Its not out of stubbornness but out of thoughtlessness. We as believers need to help others see where their life is going
    Vs.28“crowds were amazed” No one had ever talked to them this way.
    Vs. 29“real authority” When you are really about it, people see that. They recognized the authority in which Jesus spoke.
    What is your foundation built on?
    The real test is when the storms come, that shows who are really are. Look at what we are going through right now What do you base your peace on?
    If it’s not Jesus the storms will wash it away. Can you have peace in life if you have a house build on the sand?
    No because you live in constant worry about the storms to come and they WILL come. Jesus doesn’t just give us peace, He is peace
    When we trust Jesus, obey his commands, and live out the life he has called us to live no matter what comes our way, we can stand on the rock.
    And that is why this is the BEST.SERMON.EVER!!!

    Hosea 6:6
    I want you to show love,
    not offer sacrifices.

    more than I want burnt offerings.
    Don’t Judge Me
    Matthew 6:33 – 7:2
    Seek the Kingdom of God above all else, and live righteously, and he will give you everything you need. “So don’t worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will bring its own worries. Today’s trouble is enough for today.
    “Do not judge others, and you will not be judged. For you will be treated as you treat others. The standard you use in judging is the standard by which you will be judged.
    Matthew 7:6
    “Don’t waste what is holy on people who are unholy. Don’t throw your pearls to pigs! They will trample the pearls, then turn and attack you.
    Seek and Find
    Matthew 7:7-8
    “Keep on asking, and you will receive what you ask for. Keep on seeking, and you will find. Keep on knocking, and the door will be opened to you. 8 For everyone who asks, receives. Everyone who seeks, finds. And to everyone who knocks, the door will be opened.
    Romans 5:6

    Take Away
    • Look for opportunities to be the salt and the light to those around you.
    • Rather than finding fault in the people around you. Look for ways to make their life better by shining a light on Jesus, not ourselves

    BEST SERMON EVER - WEEK 3
    MATT 6:1-34
    Matt 6:1
    1“Watch out! Don’t do your good deeds publicly, to be admired by others, for you will lose the reward from your Father in heaven.
    1.BE CAREFUL, BEWARE, WATCH OUT
    Giving to the needy
    Matt 6:2
    When you give to someone in need, don’t do as the hypocrites do—blowing trumpets in the synagogues and streets to call attention to their acts of charity! I tell you the truth, they have received all the reward they will ever get.”
    Prayer
    Matt 6:5
    “When you pray, don’t be like the hypocrites who love to pray publicly on street corners and in the synagogues where everyone can see them. I tell you the truth, that is all the reward they will ever get.”
    Forgiveness
    Matt 6:14-15
    “If you forgive those who sin against you, your heavenly Father will forgive you. 15 But if you refuse to forgive others, your Father will not forgive your sins.
    Fasting
    Matt 6:16
    “And when you fast, don’t make it obvious, as the hypocrites do, for they try to look miserable and disheveled so people will admire them for their fasting. I tell you the truth, that is the only reward they will ever get.”
    Pursuit of wealth
    Matt 6:24
    “No one can serve two masters. For you will hate one and love the other; you will be devoted to one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and be enslaved to money.” (mammon)
    2.THERE IS A REWARD!
    Matt 6:25
    “That is why I tell you not to worry about everyday life—whether you have enough food and drink, or enough clothes to wear. Isn’t life more than food, and your body more than clothing?
    26 Look at the birds. They don’t plant or harvest or store food in barns, for your heavenly Father feeds them. And aren’t you far more valuable to him than they are? 27 Can all your worries add a single moment to your life?
    28 “And why worry about your clothing? Look at the lilies of the field and how they grow. They don’t work or make their clothing, 29 yet Solomon in all his glory was not dressed as beautifully as they are.
    30 And if God cares so wonderfully for wildflowers that are here today and thrown into the fire tomorrow, he will certainly care for you. Why do you have so little faith? 31 “So don’t worry about these things, saying, ‘What will we eat? What will we drink? What will we wear?’
    32 These things dominate the thoughts of unbelievers, but your heavenly Father already knows all your needs. 33 Seek the Kingdom of God above all else, and live righteously, and he will give you everything you need.
    3.IT TAKES FAITH TO DO THINGS FIRST
    4.MORE IMPORTANT THAN YOUR IMAGE TO OTHERS IS YOUR DEPENDENCE ON GOD.
