There is a price for freedom that’s paid everyday. We memorialize all those who’ve paid the price to give us freedom. Tomb of ‘The Unknown Soldier’ America’s inscription, ‘In honor of American Soldiers known only to God.’ This country has been based and founded on this type of heart and mentality. Patrick Henry once spoke words that are still at the basis of the American dream and heart this day; “GIVE ME LIBERTY OR GIVE ME DEATH.”

I. WE ARE ALL MISSIONARIES… Note:The word ‘mission’ comes from the Latin word, ‘send.’ Being a Christianincludes being sent into the world representing of Jesus. Jesus said, ‘As the Father sent me I send you.’ (John 20:21)Just as Jesus clearly understood his life mission on earth; the CMA and we, must fully understand our mission to reach the world ‘One Heart at a Time!’ I often think of Jesus’ final words at Calvary, ‘It is finished.’ He was not saying there was no longer work to do, but that He completed the mission the Father gave him.

TODAY WE CELEBRATE ONE OF THE GREATEST NATIONAL HOLIDAYS EVER ESTABLISHED!For a few moments, let us recognize the very ones who are solely responsible for us being here, our Mothers. I say solely for this very reason, they didn’t have to allow your birth. There are a variety of reasons they didn’t have too, but the bottom line is this; love compelled them too! Unlike anyone else, mothers have the privilege of sharing with God in the creation of new life. She helps bring into existence a soul that will endure for all eternity.

Often, we forget that God knows our thoughts and hears our words. God reminds His people of their true identity: He calls them by their real names: Jacob—trick star, Israel—‘contended with God & man

This is the interactive sermon of the women at the well.

A.The secular world continues to do everything it can to discredit Jesus, His disciples, or the Bible. They are always seeking any ‘tidbit’ of fallacy, fantasy, or duplicity to undermine credibility! They have questioned God’s plan from the beginning as if God’s original plan had failed, so Jesus was the ‘backup’ plan.

What is attitude anyway? It is the mental state or position you take regarding your life and affairs. This means it’s not what you think but how you think it. Your attitude forms every event in your life, whether you realize it or not. Out of your attitude comes your enjoyment of life and gratitude for all your blessings. Out of your attitude also comes your disappointment and anger at how things have turned out. Out of attitude also comes the feeling that no accomplishment will ever be good enough or that you are not good enough. Everyday, your attitude is challenged by other people and by external factors. How will you react?

Learning God’s plan for my life is possibly the greatest discovery I have ever made when it comes to my Christian walk. And in making that discovery, I learned that the Will of God involves all the following aspects of my life:•Fully surrendering my life to Jesus as ‘Lord’ and not simply as ‘Savior!’ •Being obedient to the Holy Spirit’s guiding as I yield my life to Christ. •Keeping the Lord first in every area of my life showing my love for His love!I.KNOWING OUR CALLING COMES FROM ACCEPTING OUR PURPOSE IN LIFE…

It seems one area in the church that is always lacking is the area of service; men and women joining in the ranks of ‘building peoples lives’, from behind the scenes. It seems many would rather be in the ‘limelight’ out front than in the ‘dim light’ out back, of the ‘seeming drudgery called ministry.’ Let’s take a look at the place we are, could be and should be as we begin to understand the privilege of service in the Lord’s House and the opportunity to be part of building ‘His Kingdom.’

: Hear this truth: WHERE WE WIND UP DEPENDS ON WHICH ROAD WE TAKE! In other words we cannot go south from here and expect to get to Salt Lake City. Going east from here we’ll not wind up in LA. Yes, I realize we could circumnavigate the globe and accomplish this, but using the present road system in place now, it would be absolutely impossible for you or I to do that.
