Sunday Morning Series - The Need for Faithfulness - How Much Good Ground is in You?

Text:  Luke 8:11-15

We've been looking at the various types of soil Jesus used to describe the condition of our hearts. Today, we'll focus on good ground. How much good ground is in you and can you make more?

Previously, we saw thorny soil includes:

1.  Distracting pursuits
2.  Cares - This is talking about anything you care more about than the Word of God.
3.  Riches - Pursuing increase in  any way contrary to God's Word.
4.  Pleasures - Anything the enemy entices you to do to get joy that is against God's Word.

Three characteristics of the mature person - good soil:

1.  They know the Word.
2.  They act on the Word.
3.  They speak the Word.

What does good soil not contain? What does it have? To find the answer to these and other questions, we invite you to our website. Click on the Media Tab, and you can listen online. You can also download the message to your MP3 player or podcast.

If you're visiting in the area, we hope you'll stop in and worship with us on Sunday, at 10:00 AM.

Sunday Morning Series - The Need for Faithfulness - What About the Thorns

Text:  Luke :11-15

Last week, we looked at the different kinds of soil that represent the condition of our hearts. Rocky soil received the Word, but it didn't have enough soil to become firmly rooted. How do rocks get in the soil?

1.  Offenses
2.  Other people - say things, do things
3.  False doctrine - hinders people from receiving the truth.

How do we remove the rocks?

1.  Cleaning house - identify those things causing bitterness, resentment, anger and repent for holding it against others.
2.  Test the spirits
3.  Teaching - on the Word of God
4.  Mentors - listen to them
5.  Yielding to the Holy Spirit
6.  Prayer and fasting

Thorns - since the fall of man, weeds have been a problem. Thorns aren't a problem until they begin to grow.

What causes good seed to grow?
1.  Meditate on the Word
2.  Think on good things.
3.  Believe the best in others.
4.  Expect blessings.
5.  Inspect the soil of our hearts.

What are the things that cause thorns to grow? To hear the entire message, we invite you to visit our website and click on the Media Tab. You can listen online, download it to your MP3 player, or podcast.

Sunday Morning Series - The Need for Faithfulness - Getting a Handle on Truth

Text:  Luke 8:4-15

Faith needs to be rooted.

How many of us have been healed and lost it? We need to be rooted so you can endure when the enemy sends others to bring doubt and discouragement. Faith is not increased by declaration but by growth.

Understanding is essential to being rooted and grounded in the Word. When we know how understanding comes, we are:

1.  Better prepared to defeat doubt.
2.  Better prepared to pursue understanding
3.  Better prepared to defend it.

There are three handles to grab understanding:

1.  Revelation (or enlightenment).
2.  Perspective (or how I look at it)
3.  Application (or what I can do with it)

All of these involve our pursuit of the truth. If there is no pursuit, there will be no understanding. In the parable of the sower, we see several types of soil. See that falls by the Wayside is trampled and birds eat it. The second type of soil is Rocky, and the seed can't develope a good root system.

The Wayside soil is like those who hear  the Word, but it is immediately stolen from them by the enemy. Rocky soil is like those who hear the Word, rejoice and accept it, but they do not get  rooted in the soil. When tribulation and perecution come, they stumble and fall away.

Note that seed always starts off by going down. The root system is the first to develope. In  the parable, the seed springs up. It has no depth of earth. Jesus is focused on the root. The enemy will send people to challenge what you've received.

How do we deal with long-term situations? How do we keep the seed of the Word of God from being poisoned? To hear the entire message, please visit our website and click on the Media Tab. You can listen online, download it to your MP3 player, or podcast.

Sunday Morning Series - The Need for Faithfulness The Good Samaritan

Text:  Luke 10:25-17

A lawyer is Jesus' day was one who interpreted the Law. He was an expert. This lawyer came to Jesus and asked him two questions:

1.  What is the greatest commandment?
2.  Who is my neighbor?

During that time, the Jews didn't recognize Gentiles, Samaritans, or anyone not Jewish as their neighbor. Jesus responded to the second question by telling the parable of the Good Samaritan. A man was injured by a thief and left on the road to die. A priest came by and walked around him. A Levite did the same thing. The Samaritan not only stopped, but he also poured oil and wine on the man's wounds and bound them up. He then put the man on his animal and took him to an inn. There he took care of the man. When it was time for him to leave the next day, he gave the innkeeper two denari, which was about two days' wages and told him he'd pay for any additional expenses when he returned.

Note: The word used for inn is different from the one used in the gospels regarding the birth of Jesus. Those rooms were simply a room with no furniture or other items. Whatever you needed, you brought with you.

The word used in this passage is derived from the Greek Culture. It denotes hospitality. The room was furnished and services were available.

The road where this took place was between Jerusalem and Jericho. Jericho was 15 or 20 miles for Jerusalem. Priests and Levites stayed there when they weren't performing their duties in the temple.

What do all these elements mean and how does it apply to me? To hear the entire message, please visit our website and click on the Media Tab. You can listen online, download it to your MP3 player, or podcast.
