Change

Wednesday Night Service -  July 27, 2011

Mr. Kevin is teaching the Youth about how we need to change to be more Christ-like. We may say, "I'm  good enough like I am". But, we need to see God's way to know He created us with a bigger purpose. You may have questions like...Why am I going through trial and tribulations?... How can I be a better Christian? ... Am I missing what God  wants for me in my life?

We are talking about...

1. What does God mean by change?
2. Why do we need to change?
3. What is God expecting from me?

In the process of change, we have ongoing changes, inward changes, etc. Your Christian walk is an ongoing change. As you grew more independent, you started to change on your own. Sanctification plays an important role. You need to transform your mind and yourself for God's purpose. What is the purpose of Sanctification... To be more Christ-like. Persons of Change is You. When you were saved, you had an inward change from your heart and mind. God shows us who we are and what we need to change about who we are. He exposes to us our un-Christ-like thinking. You are a Special Agent, chosen by God. Your job is to help God establish His purpose. If you are faithful in small things, God is working on you to handle the big stuff. Your job is to Surrender. God is in control...not you. God's job promises you Salvation.

Don't be conformed to the world's way of doing things. Transform your mind. Read God's Word...the Bible and Apply it to your life. God wants you to surrender your will to Him. God's purpose is to save us from Hell. He offers Eternal Salvation. He sent a Comforter, the Holy Spirit to guide you to do what is right. God has called you to do God-size tasks. You do have a bigger purpose!

Controlling the Tongue!

Wednesday Night Service - July 20, 2011

Mr. Kevin talks about his experience at Mission Serve in Wetumpka, Alabama and how we all need to control our tongues. Jesus said he would hold us accountable for what we say and do. The Bible has A LOT to say about the subject. Not controlling what we say in anger can leave us with Regrets, Lost Relationships, Sorrow, etc. What comes out of our mouth can get us in trouble. The Book of James in chapter 3 talks about Controlling the Tongue and what we need to do.

Reasons Why We Need to Manage Our Mouth:

1. Words determine where your life is headed.
2. Words can destroy what you have.
3. Words also reveal who you are.

If we have a mouth problem...we have a Heart problem! Real Change has to start from the inside out!

Scriptures:

• James 3:5-6; 9-10
• Proverbs
• 1 John 3:16
• John 3:16
• Matthew 12:34
• Ezekiel 26:36 (A New Heart)
• Philippians 2:3-4
• Ephesians 4:1-32
• 1 John 4:4 (Ask God for Help)... Psalm 141; Proverbs 21:23
• Proverbs 15:28 (Think before you Speak)

What do YOUR WORDS say about YOU?

From the heart...Ask God for Forgiveness, a Change of Heart, for His Wisdom and for His Help. God bless you!
