House of Intercessory Prayer Ministries (HIPM) - Sunday Sermons

Luke 2:10-12 Then the angel said to them, “Do not be afraid, for behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy which will be to all people. 11 For there is born to you this day in the city of David a Savior, who is Christ the Lord. 12 And this will be the sign to you: You will find a Babe wrapped in swaddling cloths, lying in a manger.”

The angel was inviting everyone to come in faith to the Babe of Bethlehem.

I want to remind you that what a blessing is to come in faith to the Babe of Bethlehem

This is an invitation to every member of the family.

God is needed for every member of the family.

Infants, yes, children - yes, young adults - yes, young men - yes, older men & women yes. Educated - uneducated, Wise - unwise, working-non working, every one is in need of God.

Everyone must come in faith is the plan of God. You may be praying for some of the members of your family for them to come in faith. Everyone must come in faith.

4 Simple Steps to Share the Gospel:

To share the Gospel, you can follow these 4 simple steps:

1. Tell them about God’s plan—peace and life

2. Share our problem—separation from God

3. Talk about God’s remedy—the cross

4. Our response—receive Christ

Now we need to lead him or her to Christ.

To receive Christ, a person needs to do 4 things:

• Admit you’re a sinner. (Confess)

• Ask forgiveness and be willing to turn away from your sins. (Repent)

• Believe that Christ died for you on the cross. (Believe)

• Receive Christ into your heart and life. (Get saved)

Is the life of separation from the world Biblical? Does the Bible talk about physical separation or separation inside the heart?

This sermon challenges to live like Jesus lived.

Matthew 5:14-16 Believers Are the light of the World

14 “You are the light of the world. A city that is set on a hill cannot be hidden. 15 Nor do they light a lamp and put it under a basket, but on a lampstand, and it gives light to all who are in the house. 16 Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works and glorify your Father in heaven.

Summary:

1. We need light

2. Our light must be shining

3. Our light must not be put under a basket

4. We need to be with people for light to shine before men

5. This light is going to expose us

Exegetic study of Psalm 50:8–15 Psalm 116:12–14

1. God doesn't need our money (We are the recipients always)

2. Offer to God thanks giving (Hearts attitude expressed in action)

3. Call upon Him (God wants us to depend on Him always)

- Even when everything is going on well, God wants us to depend on Him

- When we think that we can achieve by our own strength, we fail

- When we fail, then we start depending on God

- Then God will deliver us so that the glory ultimately belongs to Him

This cycle repeats until the end of our life.

Here is the summary of what we heard on Sunday, July 1, 2018 (Canada Day).

Conclusion:

- Canada is a mission field

- We already entered the mission field

- Jesus asked us to be a witness in our Samaria

- Our Samaria is the five different kind of people groups 1. New Canadians (immigrants) 2. Next Generation – Children & Youth 3. Quebec and Francophone Canada 4. Indigenous Canadians 5. Urban Centers

- This land is a blessed land. God blessed us.

- We are missionaries to the Samaritans

- We need to think like missionaries as we engage with those close in proximity, different in culture and religion

Luke 5:1–11 Jesus standing by the Lake of Gennesaret

- Jesus realized that staying in the land is not going to help, its time to

shift His position

- Jesus realized that its time to make another shift to go deep into the

sea

- Jesus made a shift that transformed Peter's life

- With that impacting change in his life Peter made another shift when

he realized that it is time, 3000 got added to the church

- The right shift Jesus made on the right time impacted Peter and

continued as a chain reaction.

How can we make that life transforming, life impacting shift?

1. By pouring out our frustrations to God V 5- “Master, we have toiled all night and caught nothing

2. By obeying V 5 - nevertheless at Your word I will let down the net.

3. By humbling V 8 - he fell down at Jesus’ knees, saying, “Depart from me, for I am a sinful man, O Lord!”

4. By forsaking V 11 - So when they had brought their boats to land, they forsook all

5. By following V 11 - and followed Him.
