Prayer . . . We are so busy that we can’t afford NOT to pray! Spend the first portion of your day in prayer. Give others the opportunity to help you by letting others know about needs you have so that they can pray for you.

Divisions in the Church . . . Division is ok, if it gets you to study it out and see if it lines up with scripture.

The Lord’s Prayer. Know who you are praying to . . . Pray all the time.

Everywhere the scriptures go, women are liberated. This sermon deals with the Biblical attitudes for the husband and the wife, not just to each other but to others in their lives. Biblical marriage is sacrificial love from the top down.

Whatever you do . . . do all to the glory of God. Come and follow me and I will make you fishers of men. Can you say this to those around you? “Follow me as I follow Christ”. If the world is going to change . . . their example has to change first. The world is looking for examples . . . be the example.

Joy is not happiness. Happiness depends on what happens. Joy is based on what you hope in.

You are the free-est people on the planet! Not just because of the country you live in . . . but because of the salvation you have. What kind of courage do you have? Courage like in Gideon’s army? Where God dwindled down the numbers so much that Gideon couldn’t take any credit? Do you feel too weak? Perfect! God wants to use you! Are your battles ‘you sized’? Then they are not big enough. Look for ‘God sized’ battles . . . He loves the glory!

Jeremiah 35 The Rechabites remembered what their ancestor told them to do. No wine and live in tents. John 8 Pharisees remembered differently, ‘we were never in bondage to anyone’. Apparently they didn’t remember Egypt! What do we need to remember? 1. Jesus died for us 2.Your job is not who you are 3. You are a man/woman of God 4. Your job is a vehicle to love others 5. What your purpose/mission is 6. You and your spouse are meant to be 7. This earth is not our home 8. We fight from a place of victory 9. Even when we do not see it God is still working

1 Corinthians 10:23 All things are lawful for me, but all things are not expedient: all things are lawful for me, but all things edify not.

God cares how you give. He wants you to give out of your want, not your abundance. It is more blessed to give than to receive. We rob people of the ability to bless by not letting them know about needs. The rich man is not the one with the most . . . he’s the one that needs the least.
