Our Pastors' sermon Sunday

I probably have Sunday morning and Sunday night mixed up. It was all so good and I was so blessed.

Changing! From glory to glory!!

2 Corinthians: 3:18 But we all, with open face beholding as in a glass the glory of the Lord, are changed into the same image from glory to glory, even as by the Spirit of the Lord.

We have to know where we are before we can go anywhere When we get saved we cannot look at someone that's been saved 20 years and expect to be where they are! We must prove ourselves. We accumulate so much over the years. If you were going to move then you would need to get rid of some things. Moving would be hard if there were to much junk. Over the years we have moved many times. We would try to keep everything we had but one day we bought a new mobile home. We were so excited! We had been married 22 years. I didn't want anything to clutter up this new home. I sold everything we didn't need. When we moved the things in I put it up as soon as it was set in the house. It was on a Sat. and church was the next day so I knew I needed to do as much as possible. I had only 2 boxes to unpack on Sunday. At times I notice that I have too much junk and I start trying to throw things away or give it to someone who can use it. You see my husband and I love rummage sales and collect other folks things. Sometimes I wonder if that's good. I am sure there's still things that I need to get rid of. Can you see a spiritual lesson here.

When I got saved I began to change. Some folks think that they can put something over on God but they don't usually deceive man much less God. We will change IF we are saved.

The spirit of the Lord is already working. When we began to obey God in the little things then we began to grow. It's like the people that Brother Ferris pointed out in service that obeys their heart when they feel to sing. God blesses everyone and that soul is growing in God. They are changing inside by the work of the spirit of God.
Joseph changed his mind when the angel spoke to him.
18This is how the birth of Jesus Christ came about: His mother Mary was pledged to be married to Joseph, but before they came together, she was found to be with child through the Holy Spirit. 19Because Joseph her husband was a righteous man and did not want to expose her to public disgrace, he had in mind to divorce her quietly.
20But after he had considered this, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream and said, "Joseph son of David, do not be afraid to take Mary home as your wife, because what is conceived in her is from the Holy Spirit. 21She will give birth to a son, and you are to give him the name Jesus,[c] because he will save his people from their sins."
22All this took place to fulfill what the Lord had said through the prophet: 23"The virgin will be with child and will give birth to a son, and they will call him Immanuel"[d]—which means, "God with us."
24When Joseph woke up, he did what the angel of the Lord had commanded him and took Mary home as his wife. 25But he had no union with her until she gave birth to a son. And he gave him the name Jesus.
Saul held Stephens coat wile he was stoned but Saul changed-Acts 8
1And Saul was there, giving approval to his death.
1Meanwhile, Saul was still breathing out murderous threats against the Lord's disciples. He went to the high priest 2and asked him for letters to the synagogues in Damascus, so that if he found any there who belonged to the Way, whether men or women, he might take them as prisoners to Jerusalem. 3As he neared Damascus on his journey, suddenly a light from heaven flashed around him. 4He fell to the ground and heard a voice say to him, "Saul, Saul, why do you persecute me?"
5"Who are you, Lord?" Saul asked.
"I am Jesus, whom you are persecuting," he replied. 6"Now get up and go into the city, and you will be told what you must do."
7The men traveling with Saul stood there speechless; they heard the sound but did not see anyone. 8Saul got up from the ground, but when he opened his eyes he could see nothing. So they led him by the hand into Damascus. 9For three days he was blind, and did not eat or drink anything.
The Holy Spirit is trying to get us to him! We must get our relationship right with God. We need to began to speak the Word of God.
The word of God is Jesus.
Hebrews 4:12For the word of God is living and active. Sharper than any double-edged sword, it penetrates even to dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow; it judges the thoughts and attitudes of the heart. The word of God is a sword! The word of god spoken allows the Spirit of God to work.
2 Timothy 3:15and how from infancy you have known the holy Scriptures, which are able to make you wise for salvation through faith in Christ Jesus. We must know the scripture to be made wise.
Titus 3:8This is a trustworthy saying. And I want you to stress these things, so that those who have trusted in God may be careful to devote themselves to doing what is good. These things are excellent and profitable for everyone.
Psalm 33:6
By the word of the LORD were the heavens made, their starry host by the breath of his mouth. He spoke the world into existance by his word.
Gen. 1 In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.
2 Now the earth was formless and empty, darkness was over the surface of the deep, and the Spirit of God was hovering over the waters.

And God said, "Let there be light," and there was light. 4 God saw that the light was good, and He separated the light from the darkness. 5 God called the light "day," and the darkness he called "night." And there was evening, and there was morning—the first day.
Psalm 33:6
6 By the word of the LORD were the heavens made, their starry host by the breath of his mouth.
Psalms 105 Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light for my path.
1 Corinthians 2:4My message and my preaching were not with wise and persuasive words, but with a demonstration of the Spirit's power.
We could go on and on telling about the WORD OF GOD and what it IS!

Acts 17:6And when they found them not, they drew Jason and certain brethren unto the rulers of the city, crying, These that have turned the world upside down are come hither also;

1 Peter 2:3
If so be ye have tasted that the Lord is gracious.
Hebrews 11:3
Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear. So He is a framer.
1 Peter 2:2 As newborn babes, desire the sincere milk of the word, that ye may grow thereby:
1 Peter 1:23 Being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the word of God, which liveth and abideth for ever. His word is incorruptible seed and there will be a harvest!
God bless you when you read the Word of God.
