Sermon 15 November 2009

"Why Did God Place Us Here?"

Speaker: Pastor Hildreth

This Sunday Pastor Hildreth spoke about how God is good all the time.

Some key points from the sermon:

Jesus had perfect timing.
Jesus came with a cause.
A vision is personal, but a cause is bigger than any one person. There are many differences between a vision and a cause. A cause is bigger. Jesus came with a cause.
Jesus came to change our direction and lives. He came to eliminate excuses for sin.
Conviction acts as a roadblock to our actions. When we confront conviction we can ignore it and continue on down a destructive path, or we can turn around and find the right path.
We need repentance. A change of cource.
It is important that we conform to the image of Jesus Christ.
Jesus takes ordinary people and uses them miraculously.
God can use you, an ordinary person, in extraordinary circumstances!
This cause causes you to activate your faith in Christ.
It can be hard to love people. Christ demands us to love people for the cause.
We must walk in the power and cause of Jesus Christ.
Jesus came to give significance to men. The world tries to defile our bodies as our bodies are the temple of the holy spirit.
We will be used by God if we are willing to decrease as he increases.
Life is important. People are important. Feelings are important. We must show respect to God's creation. We must not hate people only hate sin.
We must let go of Sin in our lives. Pride, anger, bitterness, unforgiveness are all sin and Christ has removed our excuses. He will give us the strength to change.
We can't do it of ourselves, but in him all things are possible.

Lost At Sea

Divine appointments are often the difference between being found - or lost at sea. Take a second to read just how important each one of us is in the Kingdom of God and the divine appointments that just might be heading your way.
