Sunday Morning Series - Victory for Doubters - The Good Fight

Text: Matthew 13:1-23

One who is not a forgetful hearer continues. We're told to fight the good fight of faith. According to Matthew 7:24-27, Luke 11:28, and John 8:43, sowing equals hearing. He who hears is sowing the Word into his heart.

In the Parable of the Sower, 4 groups of people who hear are described.

1) The first group had the word stolen from them. Can the enemy steal any Word he wants? What gives him that opportunity? A lack of understanding opens the door for him to steal the Word. It's not only important to hear the Word but to retain it.

2) In the second group the Word was starved out. It sprang to life, but in time of temptation they fall away. (Luke 8:13) They endure only for awhile.

3) With the third group, the Word was choked out by the cares of this world and the deceitfulness of riches. If the enemy can't steal the Word any other way, he'll get you to divide your attention. This way the Word will produce less or be eliminated.

4) The fourth group is fruitful. They understand the Word and put it to work. They resist temptation so it isn't starved, and they maintain their focus.

Sunday Series - Victory for Doubters - Confusion

Text: I Corinthians 14:33

This verse tells us that God is not the author of confusion but of peace. We've been learning how to tell the difference between head and heart faith. Confusion can cause us to waver and doubt.

We've got to see what we believe through the eyes of faith. The woman, who touched Jesus' garment kept seeing herself reaching out and being healed.

Before you go to a restaurant, don't you think about their menu? You can see that juicy steak and taste it before you ever set foot in the place. Faith is like that: seeing the end result before you get it.

Elijah challenged the Israelites to stop halting before two opinions. If God was God, then serve Him. If Baal was god, then serve him. He set up the test with the 450 prophets of bail to prove that God was the One they should serve. Confusion comes from considering what we shouldn't.

Sunday Morning Series - Victory for Doubters - What Our Belief Can Do

Text: Matthew 16:13-19 & various.

Our tongue sets the direction of our life. The tongue expresses what's in our heart. If we speak our feelings, they're usually negative. They also fluctuate. Talk from your spirit not from your flesh.

If we're talking: I need, I don't have, I don't think God cares, we're not speaking faith. If you're not satisfied with how things are going in your life, check what's coming out of your mouth. You have the ability to change your situation.

In Matthew 16:13-19, Jesus wants to know who people SAY that he is. Peter tells him all the theories. One minister defined theories as ignorance on the subject at hand. After listening to Peter's answer, Jesus asks him, "But who do you SAY that I am?" Peter speaks from his heart what he believes. Jesus is looking to see what we believe.
