Prayer, Evangelism and Worship

Notes on Evangelism and Leadership:  What excuses have you heard why Christian's don't evangelize... I like evangelism as long as someone else is doing it .   I don't have a gift of evangelism.   There's no gift of evangelism in the bible, but there's an evangelist, who is a gift to the church.  An evangelist is someone God uses to help God's people to share their faith.   Evangelism is not a gift for  SOME  believers,  it's a responsibility for ALL believers.  Evangelism is not a gift for SOME believers, it's a responsibility for ALL believers.   And that includes Leaders.   Leaders ought to be evangelistic:   "You can't lead what you don't live." You can't lead what you don't live. Illustration:  Bill Hybels, He uses his sailboat as a ministering tool and evangelistic tool.  What's your sailboat.   Evangelism is difficu...

10. Leviticus and the Holiness of God Today we are going to look at the book of Leviticus Third book in OT Instructions given to Moses along with the Ten Commandments At first glance, strange book with strange regulations about strange things Sacrifice animals Ox gores someone a  second  time Special festivals Not the core themes of Leviticus 1. Leviticus is consumed with the holiness of God — separate from sin 18:2-4; 19:18 2. He expects his people to more like him than like the world  3. If fail: God is a forgiving, merciful God CENTER IN ON THE SACRIFICES Same basic procedure — 1:3-9 (supply antecedents) — four things  Without blemish — “Pleasing” (Forgiveness is granted, cf. 4:20) Clear that the one bringing the sacrifice is a participant, not an observer Sinner hand and kills/skins/hacks / washes the sacrifice  Some sacrifices: blood sprinkled on sinner Sinner is responsible for his own sin —participant (not meaningless...

If it is our desire to overcome sin anytime temptation knocks on the door, we need to learn from the example of Jesus.   The Bible said that Jesus was tempted at all points and yet was found without sin (Hebrews 4:15).  While tempted up in the wilderness, Satan comes and tempts Him to transform the stone into bread.   Jesus said, "Man shall not live by bread alone but by every words the comes from the  mouth of God"   (Matthew 4:4).   The Word of God is a powerful tool to ward of impending temptation that brings forth sin and that leads to death (James 1:15).   Use His Word and guard every moment of your life to be sin-free. Wake Up - Psalm 118:24 - This is the day that Lord has made, let us rejoice and be glad in it.   Travel - Psalm 121:1-2 - I left up my eyes to the mountains - where does my help come from?   My help comes form the Lord, and Maker of heaven and earth.    School - Galatians 6:9 - Let us not become...

Topic: : Saul’s Experience In Christ Theme:  Transformstion Read:   Acts 9:19-26 Introduction:  the Bible said, His word will not return to him void (Is. 55:11).  What effect does God's word have on you?  These are the things that happened to Saul when He heard the Word. Isaiah 55:11,   so is my word   that goes out from my mouth:      It will not return to me empty, but will accomplish what I desire      and achieve the purpose  for which I sent it. 1. Saul experinced change (19-21) v. 19b, Saul spent several days with the disciples... What effect does hanging out with Christian have? Matthew 5:14,   "You are the light of the world. A town built on a hill cannot be hidden. V 20, “ Saul began to preach in the Synagogues that Jesus is the Son of God “ -it’s the same place, with the different message - it’s the same group with a different response These are the effects when you...

ANDREA MENDOZA Wake Service John 11:25,   “Jesus said to her, “I am the resurrection and the life   The one who believes in me will live, even though they die;   26, and whoever lives by believing in me will never die.   Do you believe this?” Jesus’s friend Lazarus had passed away.    Both Lazarus’ sisters, Mary and Martha were deeply mourning.   So much was their despair that they said to Jesus upon seeing him, “ If you had been here, my brother would not have died” (v.21 with Martha and v 32 with Mary).    What does Jesus feel in occasions like this?    He is sad – v. 33, (also, v. 38 – deeply moved).  When Jesus saw her weeping, and the Jews had come along with her also weeping, he was deeply moved in spirit and troubled.  He mourns – v.35,   Jesus wept. At the end, He did perform a miracle of raising Lazarus.   This is undeniably the most remarkable proof that Jesus is God. ...
