Word of Life Family Church

Are we seeking the father in the cool of the day or are we being distracted by other things. If we aren't careful we can place other things before God. The rich young ruler's wealth had him. Is there something that has you?

When Moses approached Pharaoh and told him to, "Let My People Go", it wasn't the heart of the issue. Getting Israel to the place that they would be willing to Let Go of Egypt was a far bigger issue. Liberty and Freedom are not the same thing.

God wants us to know Him, and love Him up close and personal. The basis of our relationship with the Father is built on the foundation of the word of God. Where you are in the word and allow it to take root in you; you are a hybrid. Pastor reminds that we are nothing like we were before Christ was in our lives. The devil comes to tempt us to doubt who we are. We begin in the grace of God, we continue in the grace of God, and we end in the grace of God.

God's mercies are new every day. What are the things of your past that you are allowing to hold you back? Are you stuck? Do you believe more in God's current mercies, than you do in your past mistakes? God's knows what you are going to do and yet He loves you anyway. Hold on to your faith in the midst of failure, because your faith will get you through!

Relationships are not simple and clear cut. You can be in a relationship and have no fellowship. Relationships are progressive, they grow and change. Our number one relationship is between us and our creator. When we love God with all our heart, we will love ourselves differently, and as a result love others differently.

Covering something up, doesn't make the thing go away. Don't neglect when the warning light comes on or the flashing in your heart happens. 75% of fruitlessness comes from not dealing with heart issues. (Mark 4)

In II Peter 1 we are instructed to "ADD" (like additives) to our faith..... , so that we abound in life. "Heart maintenance" Give attention to the maintenance needs of your heart.

It is required in a steward that a man be found faithful. When we are faithful in the little things, than the big things will be easy. Are we willing to be faithful with the gospel even when others may reject it and even reject us! We need to pass on to others the things we have heard.

Believers need to know when to Hold Fast and when to Let Go. Many times the "Let go & let God" attitude is really just an "I quit". The Kingdom of Heaven is full of keeping the good and getting rid of the bad.

It is required in a steward to be faithful. Being faithful isn't doing our best or treating things like our own. Instead it is doing what the owner wants done the way they want it done.

Moms are different things to people. We look at Eve, (Mom who needed forgiveness), Sarah, (Mom who choose to judge God faithful), Jochebed, (Mom who mothered past her fears), Hannah, (Mom who prayed) and Mary (Mom who kept things in her heart).

Being a mom is not an easy thing to do. But it is worth doing it well.
