May Holy Ground Pt.3 Holy Ground Pt.3 Date: May 1, 2002 Wed PM Teacher: Pastor Star R. Scott Holy Ground Pt.4 Holy Ground Pt.4 Date: May 5, 2002 Sun AM Teacher: Pastor Star R. Scott Holy Ground Pt.5 Holy Ground Pt.5 Date: May 5, 2002 Sun PM Teacher: Pastor Star R. Scott That I May Know Him That I May Know Him Date: May 8, 2002 Wed PM Teacher: Pastor Chuck LaRock Holy Ground Pt.6 Holy Ground Pt.6 Date: May 12, 2002 Sun AM Teacher: Pastor Star R. Scott Holy Ground Pt.7 Holy Ground Pt.7 Date: May 12, 2002 Sun PM Teacher: Pastor Star R. Scott Magnify the Lord Magnify the Lord Date: May 15, 2002 Wed PM Teacher: Pastor Richard Miller Holy Ground Pt.8 Holy Ground Pt.8 Date: May 19, 2002 Sun AM Teacher: Pastor Star R. Scott Right Words Right Words Date: May 19, 2002 Sun PM Teacher: Pastor Star R. Scott Synopsis: The mature can control his own tongue. It's not how much you speak but if it's controlled by the Holy Spirit. If you're always saying the wrong thing, it's because you talk too much. Sobriety. A word in Season. Edify. Satellite Pastors Panel Satellite Pastors Panel Date: May 22, 2002 Wed PM Teacher: Satellite Pastors Who is Like Unto Thee? Pt.1 Who is Like Unto Thee? Pt.1 Date: May 26, 2002 Sun AM Teacher: Pastor Chuck LaRock Synopsis: Attributes of God. God is Self-sufficient, endless, infinite. Worship. Fear. Reverence. Omniscient. Omnipresent. Omnipotent. Who is Like Unto Thee? Pt.2 Who is Like Unto Thee? Pt.2 Date: May 26, 2002 Sun PM Teacher: Pastor Chuck LaRock Synopsis: God's ways are unsearchable. God's immensity, power, wisdom. God is mindful of our lives. Divine Guidance Pt.1 Divine Guidance Pt.1 Date: May 29, 2002 Wed PM Teacher: Pastor Star R. Scott Synopsis: If you get HOW God wants you He'll get you WHERE He wants you. Divinely ordered steps. Eternal directives. Temporal decisions. We get caught up in what we're supposed to do instead of who we're supposed to be. God never reacts - He's had a plan from the beginning. Are we upset with the circumstances or who put us there? God is guiding you whether you understand it or not. Specific revelation is for eternal significance. Don't fear mistakes, God will put you on course.	June Divine Guidance Pt.2 Divine Guidance Pt.2 Date: June 2, 2002 Sun AM Teacher: Pastor Star R. Scott Synopsis: We are governed by a sanctified intellect. Lean not to your own understanding. For the Lord is Martha - As unto the Lord is Mary. Not every step will be right but God will set it right. If you understand the whole plan it's probably yours. Is your confidence in the things you're doing or the things God's doing? Seeking the spectacular and missing the supernatural. Maturity and humility go hand in hand. Divine Guidance Pt.3 Divine Guidance Pt.3 Date: June 2, 2002 Sun PM Teacher: Pastor Star R. Scott Synopsis: Is this something that glorifies me or God? The enemy can also make opportunities. Can this be accomplished in the flesh and not the Spirit? God speaks to us through His established order. He does not speak to us all on an equal basis. We don't hear God because we don't accept the messenger. If you're going to set the criteria for who's going to bring you a message than who's God? Special visitations have significant consequences. You are where God wants you right now. Divine Guidance Pt.4 Divine Guidance Pt.4 Date: June 5, 2002 Wed PM Teacher: Pastor Star R. Scott Synopsis: Every moment of every day God is orchestrating our lives. General Guidance - the Word of God. If general obedience isn't in order there will be no specific guidance. We need to purify our conscience. Divine order. It takes more faith to follow divine authority than signs and wonders. Don't despise the messenger. Submit. The Word is the final authority. Jethro advising Moses as an example of listening to counselors. Pastor sharing a lot of his personal testimony of guidance from California. Laying Up Treasures Pt.1 Laying Up Treasures Pt.1 Date: June 9, 2002 Sun AM Teacher: Pastor Richard Miller Synopsis: Become dead to sensual imput and become alive to spiritual imput. Become Spirit dominated and not sense dominated. Do you enjoy the presence of God or something on this earth. There are pleasures in His presence that we haven't even tapped into. What do you guard? What are you jealous for? Protect your relationship. What kind of investments are you making? Are you sowing to the temporal or the spiritual? What's precious to you, you fight for. Bring into captivity every thought. Laying Up Treasures Pt.2 Laying Up Treasures Pt.2 Date: June 9, 2002 Sun PM Teacher: Pastor Richard Miller Synopsis: Gaurd your thoughts. Think eternal thoughts. Worship or Whitewash? Worship or Whitewash? Date: June 12, 2002 Wed PM Teacher: Pastor Jeff Heglund Synopsis: Hopelessly in love with God. It's a choice to magnify God. God loves it when we make Him big. Kill the Flesh. Be still and know that He is God. Set your priorities - seek first the kingdom. Divine Guidance Pt.5 Divine Guidance Pt.5 Date: June 16, 2002 Sun AM Teacher: Pastor Star R. Scott Synopsis: The thing that hinders guidance the most is a lack of contentment. Discontentment will always lead you to somewhere else. If you're not at peace your always under the assumption that another was is the will of God. Discontentment comes from pride and selfishness. Everything that happens in your life is to make you like Jesus. Have faith that this is where God wants you. In the pit you have two choices: self-pity or worship. Be determined to glorify God at all costs. Everything that happens in your life is not just about you. Divine Guidance Pt.6 Divine Guidance Pt.6 Date: June 16, 2002 Sun PM Teacher: Pastor Star R. Scott Synopsis: Your intuition is only reliable based on your obedience to the Word of God. Our consciences are being attacked and defiled daily. There is a war gong on for your mind. Nothing is pure today. Make preparation to be more pure. If you're not going forward you're going backward. We don't abstain because of the consequence; we abstain because of the offence to father. We're setting ourselves up to be defiled when we're not preparing ourselves to be pure. Embracing apostate doctrine sears our conscience. The Clean Conscience The Clean Conscience Date: June 19, 2002 Wed PM Teacher: Pastor Star R. Scott Synopsis: Your conscience can't be your guide; the Holy Spirit has to be your guide. The conscience is being seared when we willfully choose to oppose the greater truth: the voice of God - the Word of God. Our conscience is influenced by environment, upbringing, atmosphere, knowledge of God and the Holy Spirit. Your conscience is NOT the voice of God. It is an early warning system. Your conscience will not have full understanding of what faith can apprehend. When you live in Sodom you will be vexed - but you can be purged. Good conscience is always accompanied with good living. If you walk in anything but faith your conscience is being shipwrecked. My position in Christ enhances and purifies my conscience. I AM Pt.1 I AM Pt.1 Date: June 23, 2002 Sun AM Teacher: Pastor Star R. Scott Synopsis: If you don't understand who He is, you will never be able to fellowship with Him. You may not have had the spectacular visitation as Moses, but the same supernatural power is at work in each one of us right now. He is not common. the first attribute we need to understand is the holiness of God. God will bring down whatever limitations we put on His ability so we can know Him in all of His glory. If we're going to know the presence of God, we're going to have to represent Him accurately, and let it be known specifically who has sent us. All that our God is, He is infinitely. I AM Pt.2 I AM Pt.2 Date: June 23, 2002 Sun PM Teacher: Pastor Star R. Scott Synopsis: His distinct separate being (Who He is) is what makes Him holy. The enemy that's opposing you (trying to bring fear, doubt, and all of these things) will be destroyed. Idolatry is the decline of the holiness of God in your perception and in your relationship. When the glory of God is supreme in your life, the enemy doesn't want you present. The times we disobey are the times we deny His holiness. Let This Mind Be In You Let This Mind Be In You Date: June 23, 2002 Wed PM Teacher: Pastor Richard Miller Let This Mind Be in You Let This Mind Be in You Date: June 26, 2002 Wed PM Teacher: Pastor Richard Miller I AM Pt.3 I AM Pt.3 Date: June 30, 2002 Sun AM Teacher: Pastor Star R. Scott Synopsis: Everything that was created was created because of the holiness of God, His ability and the goodness of God, His purpose. Everything that you have that you don't deserve is a product of God's goodness. there's no comparison between the created and the Creator. Regardless of how great Satan's power is, God's power is infinite. God's goodness is never indifferent. The greatest thing we can do in this whole process called "life" is to make sure we justify God and not ourselves. Grace is giving you what you don't deserve. Mercy is not giving you what you do deserve. I AM Pt.4 I AM Pt.4 Date: June 30, 2002 Sun PM Teacher: Pastor Star R. Scott
July I AM Pt.5 I AM Pt.5 Date: July 3, 2002 Wed PM Teacher: Pastor Star R. Scott Synopsis: God is infinitely trustworthy, eternally reliable. Faithfulness is not what God does its what He is. His faithfulness has to be pursued. He is faithful to those who love Him. God is going to be who He is perfectly, infinitely; it doesn't depend on you. He will not tempt you past what you can bear. His response to us will always be love, mercy, and gentleness. He cannot change. His Perfect Purpose His Perfect Purpose Date: July 7, 2002 Sun AM Teacher: Pastor Chuck LaRock Synopsis: God has a perfect plan for us. He wants us to lean on Him in every area. He's possessive of us. All His plans and purposes for us are infinitely and perfectly good, just and faithful. God is equitable and righteous. All God's plans for us are perfectly fair. God can't do anything less than absolute perfection. He's the author and originator, the architect and builder of all things. He is the focal point. God is actively involved in executing His plan. He is perfectly equipped to carry out His purposes. He is intimately involved in His plan. His Perfect Purpose Pt.2 His Perfect Purpose Pt.2 Date: July 7, 2002 Sun PM Teacher: Pastor Chuck LaRock Synopsis: We don't have the whole picture. God delights in loving kindness, judgment and righteousness. Our suffering has a larger purpose. God redeemed us not because of our worth but because of His nature. Labor Into Rest Labor Into Rest Date: July 10, 2002 Wed PM Teacher: Pastor Richard Miller Synopsis: Remain pliable in the hands of your maker. Unbelief keeps us out of the rest of God. A disciple is a love slave. Pitfalls of unbelief: Taking back control, Placing too much value on your opinion, Swayed by appetites of the flesh. Absolute surrender. Jesus didn't surrender to the circumstances; He surrendered to the will of His Father. Until deliverance comes I surrender to what God is doing in me through this. Rest is ceasing from your own works and walking in the divine ability of God. Labor is dying to self and living by Father's divine ability. Find His life. Agonize in the Word. Labor in prayer. I AM Pt.6 I AM Pt.6 Date: July 14, 2002 Sun AM Teacher: Pastor Star R. Scott Synopsis: Everything God does is just. It's not a standard He's trying to meet; it's who He is. We can never see justice apart from the mercy of God. There is no conflict in the attributes of God. We have an inability to comprehend. Man's perception is limited. God's justice is always what is right. God's justice is not a punitive expression. Equity is the opposite of iniquity. God's attributes are not segmented; they are unity. The best way for us to handle justice is can I find any way possible to apply mercy. Our perception of justice becomes tainted. God's application is always right; truth applied in mercy. Faith or Performance? Faith or Performance? Date: July 14, 2002 Sun PM Teacher: Pastor Richard Miller Synopsis: The Purpose of the law was never to justify. Under the law, your performance determined your status. My relationship with God is not based on performance. It's based on what Jesus did on the cross. The law was temporary for a specific purpose and specific time. The law is written on our hearts. Internal motivation. My relationship with father is dependant on my faith. Just believe. The law could not transform the heart. You will never be good enough to pay your way out of the wages of sin. My performance has nothing to do with establishing or maintaining my relationship with Father. To base your relationship on performance is haughtiness - it places the focus on me. Get you out of the picture. It's not about you. We don't pursue a better performance - we pursue a better relationship. My Brother's Keeper My Brother's Keeper Date: July 17, 2002 Wed PM Teacher: Pastor Chuck LaRock Synopsis: You're not the Holy Spirit. Don't make other people the primary focus of your life. I AM Pt.7 I AM Pt.7 Date: July 21, 2002 Sun AM Teacher: Pastor Star R. Scott Synopsis: There is no power that is not given of God. We can only understand things that are created. God does not need us. God has no needs. God is not here more when He is manifest than when He is omnipotent. Intimately involved. God expresses Himself for eternal good. God doesn't have to reveal it to be it. God is not judged by anyone. God is for us; there is not merit system. We believe in what He reveals. We rest in what He expresses. Walking in Peace Walking in Peace Date: July 21, 2002 Sun PM Teacher: Pastor Richard Miller Synopsis: Encounter God to have peace. Continual Communion. Continual Abiding. Have my heart and mind guarded. The kingdom of darkness is stronger than you - flee for refuge. Fiery darts try to distract and interrupt your communion with Father. Taking thought - anxiousness - always leads to idolatry. Fear is a rejection of God's love and provision. Confidence in His love. Perfect peace will never come to you if the focus is on you. Fear is that the idol of self will have to go through something I don't want to go through. I AM Pt.8 I AM Pt.8 Date: July 24, 2002 Wed PM Teacher: Pastor Star R. Scott Synopsis: The definition of God is not Love - He is more than that. Love is an expression of God. More than a feeling. Perfected not in the creation of man but in the redemption of man. Love will set you free from fear and insecurity. The moment you realize you are loved all the defense mechanisms are gone. Love is the intent for good for the object being loved. You can only love when you get out of the way and let God love through you. We owe it to love one another. Love sees them as God sees them. Love is a choice. You don't have to FEEL love. The feelings will come with the obedience to honor God. Selfless. God never loves you less on a bad day. Worthy Worthy Date: July 28, 2002 Sun AM Teacher: Pastor Star R. Scott Synopsis: God is worthy - everything else is worthless. First love. When we lose the value of God we stumble back into darkness. We diminish His worth in every act of disobedience. Every time we play when we should be in His presence. Don't be satisfied with the crumbs - the pearl of great price is available to you - but it will cost you everything. In the Spirit realm there's a realm none of us know anything about the goodness of God. God doesn't need our worship to know He's worthy - We need it. You can't make God bigger - only bigger in your eyes. Our ability to be thankful makes god big in our eyes. Anytime anything else in your life has value you're in idolatry. We are for His pleasure. The Battle is the Lord's The Battle is the Lord's Date: July 28, 2002 Sun PM Teacher: Pastor Richard Miller Synopsis: Our eyes need to be opened. Fear would lead to idolatry. Satan wants to destroy you with fear and cares. Fear will cause us to question God. Make sure you're seeking obedience and not just your own preservation. God's eternal purpose in the trial is more important than my deliverance. God's plan is bigger than my relief. Your desire for the Lord goes up a notch in trials. When calamity comes start to praise Him. Magnify Him. Encounter God. Become convinced that God is for me. There is no place you can go where His love will not reach. In trials God asks two things: Acknowledge your need, and keep your eyes on Him. God's in control. Sin From Within Pt.1 Sin From Within Pt.1 Date: July 31, 2002 Wed PM Teacher: Pastor Star R. Scott Synopsis: There is nothing from without that can hurt you if it doesn't enter your heart. What comes out of a man is what defiles him. You know what condition you're in by what you talk about. How can we filter that that we need to contact every day? If we have to encounter the things of the world that defile us and vex us, then what are we doing seeking and absorbing them in abundance? Why are we bringing them in willfully? Kill the weeds in your heart. Do we have a hatred of sin? Do we want to be free from the consequences of sin or the sinfulness of sin? It's the little foxes that destroy. The murder of Joseph started with jealousy and envy. You are never in greater danger then when you think you have it under control. The only way you're not going to sin is to have more Word in your heart than anything else. Are we being strengthened by the body of Christ or weakened? Expose the darkness for what it is. How much of your conversation is preparation for the kingdom of God? Our hearts get full by studying the Word. Study where you are the weakest and need the most help. The problem is not the World system OUT THERE; the problem is the world in your heart.	August Sin From Within Pt.2 Sin From Within Pt.2 Date: August 4, 2002 Sun AM Teacher: Pastor Star R. Scott Synopsis: Sin within looks for self-justification. Evil things come from within. Physical appetites will always gravitate towards sin. Definitions of Sin: To miss the mark, All unrighteousness, He that knoweth to do good and doeth it not, transgression of the law. The law is the only thing that can help you when you are habitually sinning. The problem is not the circumstances. We are tempted through lust - strong desire - dominating the circumstances. Progressiveness of sin. The moment you're aware of the enticement - cut and run! Shun the appearance of evil. How desperate are you to get away from the sin that holds your life? Once you allow your enticement to run full course there will be conception of sin. The moment you decide not to flee - sin is taking course in your life. Turn and move in the opposite direction. You will not succeed if you're not giving all. What are we doing to prepare ourselves for victory? There is a law in my members - it will always do wrong. The flesh will always produce carnal consequences. Whichever way you go under pressure is who you are. Your flesh never gets any better. Whatever you were before you got saved - the tendencies are still there - they're just not dominant. There are things that are lawful for the man walking in the Spirit that are not lawful for the man under the law. Your flesh will always yield to sin. God made you to be free from the power of sin in Christ Jesus. Mortify the deeds of the flesh by seeking the Spirit. Get your eyes off the sin and start seeking the Lord. Absolute Surrender Absolute Surrender Date: August 4, 2002 Sun PM Teacher: Pastor Richard Miller Synopsis: Use Discrimination with who you hang out with. Who do you pursue? A vessel unto honor is SANCTIFIED - set apart. Do you see yourself as being set apart for the Lord's use only? What are your thoughts spent on? A vessel unto honor is MEET - easily used; ready in an instant. A vessel unto honor is PREPARED unto every good work. Flee the lusts and surround yourself with vessels unto honor. Submit to the vine - don't try to grow your own way. Judgment is severe for not bearing fruit. Father has done everything He could possibly do for fruit to be born in your life. The only reason you're not bearing fruit is self-will. You never outgrow chastening. We need to be as determined resisting sin and Jesus in the garden. There is no abiding without chastening and purging. We will continually be humbled. Intimacy is: abide in me and I in you. That's how close Father wants to be to you. Abiding requires continual dependence, drawing, humility. The moment you think I know what I'm doing you've severed yourself from the vine. Meditate on the Word of God day and night. How aware are you of Father dwelling in you? Abiding will require humility. Self will stops the life flow. You abide through continual prayer. Panel Discussion Panel Discussion Date: August 7, 2002 Wed PM Teacher: Pastoral Panel Synopsis: You cannot categorize lawfulness. It's only lawful if its being led by the Spirit. Self-sufficiency magnifies His love for us. Father wants us to receive His love and show it to others. God is faithful to pursue us into the pigpen. God cannot do whatever He wants to - He does what He is. True justice always looks to apply mercy whenever it can. You can't apply mercy when you're in the flesh. What is lawful this week may not be lawful next week - it depends on where you are. Disputable Matters: How little do I need - not how much can I get away with. You know you're in trouble when you're ready to justify your liberty. It's not a liberty if you're ready to defend it or if you're offended when someone questions it. All things are lawful as long as they are not robbing the Spirit man. You know your kids are walking in the Spirit by how they respond to authority. Spiritually Minded Pt.1 Spiritually Minded Pt.1 Date: August 11, 2002 Sun AM Teacher: Pastor Star R. Scott Synopsis: Change the effort you're putting out spiritually. How much of the world has taken root in our midst? You have to wash off the debris of the world on a continual basis. You can see the world's system everywhere - but do You see it at all? We can't be ignorant of the enemy's devices. Men have always opposed sin and sin has always pursued men, but it hasn't been to the degree it is today. Sin isn't going to be more sinful, but it is more prevalent and accepted today. We're seeing a last hours acceleration of the acceptance of sin. What are you doing to prepare yourself? Are we really seeing the state of this generation? With knowledge comes greater responsibility and judgment. The sins of Sodom were Pride, fullness of bread and abundance of idleness. We need to prepare ourselves to battle this increase of iniquity in our generation. Seduction is coming not just through the world but through the religious arena. You can't embrace the world then whenever you want turn and enjoy the benefits of the kingdom. The drawing of the world is the same voice heard in the garden and it's a lie. All the devil's apples have worms. YOU present your body a living sacrifice. Its not about supernatural deliverance, it's a choice. No temptation is unique to you - its in all of us. You fall because of less preparation. Both appetites will rise up; the one you prepare will be victorious. Don't let this world rob the real treasures. Choose - Repent - Purpose - Prepare. My Brother's Keeper Pt.2 My Brother's Keeper Pt.2 Date: August 11, 2002 Sun PM Teacher: Pastor Chuck LaRock Synopsis: The more light you get into the safer you are. Busybodies make it their full time job to find fault with others. Speaking into another's life is bearing their burdens. Have a word fitly spoken and an obedient ear. A wise reprover is guided by the Word of God - not preferences or opinions. Reproof is exposing wrong thinking or wrong behavior. Motive for bringing reproof is love. A wise reprover will seek to restore. Change is a process - it doesn't instantly happen. If humility is present, "you and him" alone will usually solve it. You don't know your heart perfectly another person can be more objective about you. Don't judge a person's whole character by one bad incident. Spiritually Minded Pt.2 Spiritually Minded Pt.2 Date: August 14, 2002 Wed PM Teacher: Pastor Star R. Scott Synopsis: How effective are you in the body of Christ? We're in the hour of Sodom. We're living vexed on a daily basis. If the enemy is growing stronger, we can't remain the same. Obedience is a choice that goes against your natural inclination. The difference between obedience and works is motive. It's works if you're doing it out of fear. Obedience is just doing what Father told you. Present your body a living sacrifice. You're not presenting something that's perfect. God will accept you just as flawed as you are. The renewed mind doesn't assume it knows what to do but always seeks Father first. Spiritually minded does not mean we are opposing the world - it means we are choosing God. Choosing principles over emotions and natural appetites. The carnal mind is opposition to God. How habitually do I mind the things of the flesh? What is the abundance of fruit in my life? The decision is made before the crossroads - not in the enticement. The decision is made in His presence. What you are in abundance is who you are. Don't surround yourself with carnal people if you want to walk in the Spirit. Your flesh will always choose contrary to the Word of God. You always have to make a decision against what you feel like doing. You're not ever going to have the flesh voluntarily obey the Word of God. Get back on course by volition - walk in the Spirit - shut off all other appetites. You'll never get so spiritual that you don't have fleshly appetites. They're always going to be there. What's your game plan for victory? Spiritually Minded Pt.3 Spiritually Minded Pt.3 Date: August 18, 2002 Sun AM Teacher: Pastor Star R. Scott Synopsis: If the mind is not transformed at a greater rate than the flesh you will begin to think and act like the world. There must be a preparation to resist. The law of the mind must be stronger than the law of your members. It's how big you let Jesus be in you. Surrender of your will to the will of God. Be careful what you do with your body. The more you feed your mind with carnal, worldly things the weaker your Spirit man becomes. Ignorance and innocence many times is the safest way to go. Don't look to be a success in the world; look to be a success in the kingdom. There's a spirit of the world that we as pilgrims should have nothing to do with. Willful abstinence of the things your flesh desires. Abstaining from things that are lawful - but in abundance begin to destroy us. How will you become a champion of the faith without discipline? Fast the fleshly lusts. There can't be any cleansing until you realize the worth of God. He must mean more than the fleshly appetites. It's YOUR responsibility to cleanse YOURSELF from all filthiness of the flesh and perfect yourself. Be a snob to the Devil. You're better than him. Youthful lusts represent the spiritually immature. The victory is in following righteousness. Abstaining is not doing without - you're not abstaining until you're partaking of something spiritual. We all have the same battles. Get rid of what's holding you in bondage - make it inaccessible. Abstinence begins with fasting. Don't wait until the flesh has been bad. How badly do you want to be free? What price are you willing to pay? To what degree do you love Jesus, righteousness, and Holiness more than feeding your own appetite? What keeps you in bondage is pride. Everything we abstain from is for engrafting the Word. Holy Fear Holy Fear Date: August 18, 2002 Sun PM Teacher: Pastor Richard Miller Synopsis: Fear is to Obey Him, to Love Him, and to Serve Him. Don't be paralyzed with the fear that brings doom. His presence brings addiction and obsession in the purest sense. Does Gods forgiveness of you amaze you? The fear of the Lord is a choice you make. We don't have the ability to obey - but we can make a choice. Your feelings have nothing to do with fearing the Lord. We can choose to fear the Lord one decision at a time and His grace brings the fear. The more you obey the more you will experience His presence. The knowledge and awareness of his omnipresence will cause you to fear. The problem in our carnality is He's invisible and it's too easy for us to disregard Him. At all times we are under the direct supervision of God. Speak and act as though you are keenly aware that God is inspecting everything you say and do. How real is God to you? You must not let your daily devotions become rote. Stay until you are aware of His presence. Take that presence with you throughout the day. Joseph was far more afraid of God than he was of Potiphar. Who are you when you are alone and no one will know? Fear of God comes from the awareness of His omniscience. The fear of God is awareness of His judgment. By the fear of the Lord men depart from evil and character is built. Spiritually Minded Pt.4 Spiritually Minded Pt.4 Date: August 21, 2002 Wed PM Teacher: Pastor Star R. Scott Synopsis: Systematically denying yourself. True abstinence is not just refraining but pursuing. This discipline has to become first nature - you don't even think about it. Reprogram your mind. Study. It sticks one of two ways: either how much its worth to you or the amount of your exposure to it. You will live your life in direct correlation to the amount of Word of God we put in our minds. Partake of less of the world to partake of more of the Word. You've not studied the Word of God until you've been illuminated. You've received revelation. Find the intent of what was spoken and do it. Everybody fails if they don't labor to enter into rest. Sanctification is a work of obedience in our lives. You won't be a success in the world and a success in the kingdom simultaneously. If your kids do exactly what you're doing how will they end up? The Word of God is alive and energized. You have not studied until you're been changed. Constantly mutter the Word of God. Hide the Word in your heart. Sin is progressive. You've not studied if you can't apply it to life circumstances. You're a dead man if you don't know the Word of God. Glorify Your Father Pt.1 Glorify Your Father Pt.1 Date: August 25, 2002 Sun AM Teacher: Pastor Chuck LaRock Synopsis: Only God can transform a life. Can you surrender to God's will and let death to self be worked in your life. Mourning glorifies God. Hunger and thirst for righteousness comes from God. Deal with the sins he's revealed to you. Be sincere and truthful - you have to do what he's already shown to you. My Brother's Keeper Pt.3 My Brother's Keeper Pt.3 Date: August 25, 2002 Sun PM Teacher: Pastor Chuck LaRock Synopsis: Reproof. The motive can't be retaliation or vengeance. Let the Word of God stand alone to change them. When the Spirit convicts you you cant get away from it. We all have the same tendencies. Responses to correction: Rejection, View as a personal attack, Retaliation, Try to maintain an image, Convinced you're misunderstood, Excuse your behavior. Have wisdom in responding. A wise hearer is humble enough to receive reproof with an open heart. Spiritually Minded Pt.5 Spiritually Minded Pt.5 Date: August 28, 2002 Wed PM Teacher: Pastor Star R. Scott Synopsis: Obedience is choosing to do the Word of God. Habitual living is doing the Word of God.
September The Working of Trials Pt.1 The Working of Trials Pt.1 Date: September 1, 2002 Sun AM Teacher: Pastor Richard Miller Synopsis: Count it all joy. Purpose of proving and testing. God is for me. This is what it takes to be like Jesus. God is working this for my maturity. If anyone should suffer it's the righteous; they are the ones being molded into Jesus. I'm not ashamed of my sufferings. God permits suffering so His glory would be known. In the worst of times God is working to do you good. The sufferings can't compare to the glory we will one day know. We don't live for this existence. We live for the life that is to come. The trying of your faith works patience. A calm quiet cheerful endurance. During the duration of my suffering I will please God. No matter what it costs me I will obey. The endurance is running the race lawfully. The endurance is in honoring Father in it - not just putting up with it. The Working of Trials Pt.2 The Working of Trials Pt.2 Date: September 1, 2002 Sun PM Teacher: Pastor Richard Miller Synopsis: The righteous suffer so you can be brought to death and Jesus can live through you. Purposes of suffering and trials: To test your love and obedience. To produce Patience. To perfect our dependence on Him. The results of the test are not for God's sake - He knows how we'll do. They're for our sake. You have to be shown your heart. Experience leads to proven character. You consistently do Father's will and not yours. Experience works hope. There's nothing worse than the deception of lukewarmness. Janet Scott Memorial Service Janet Scott Memorial Service Date: September 4, 2002 Wed PM Teacher: Pastoral Staff Synopsis: The Pastor's remember Janet as she finishes the race. Spiritually Minded Pt.6 Spiritually Minded Pt.6 Date: September 8, 2002 Sun AM Teacher: Pastor Star R. Scott Synopsis: You'll only have your soul purified to the degree that you obey. Those that do His will, know His will. What are you going to cut so you can have more of Jesus? Results won't happen overnight, but you can change the course overnight. How intent are we on Christlikeness? To be spiritually minded is peace. Habitually choose God over self. What are we doing to prepare ourselves? Habitually look for ways to choose to serve others over you. Make the decision now. Saying no to sin every time will make a habit. When the opportunities arise to put yourself first what do we do? Christlikeness is the cross. It's knowing Him in the humility of His sufferings. True religion is death to self. Do you go to the scriptures looking for how you can improve your weaknesses? Habitual lifestyle has to be prepared in the fire. What are you doing to fortify the family of God? Become temperate in the temporal and passionate and obsesses with the eternal. Do people know what course you're on? Do you know? The consequences are irrelevant, choose to do the Word. Walking in the Spirit is the choice of habitual obedience. Stay Away From Her Corner Stay Away From Her Corner Date: September 8, 2002 Sun PM Teacher: Pastor Chuck LaRock Synopsis: Satan paints temptation but never tells you the whole story. The enemy preys on those who are nai. From a lack of experience. From a lack of learning from their experiences and the experiences of others. A wise man is cautious, alert. He's aware of his weaknesses. You have to have a heart for wisdom to attain it. Treasure the Word of God. A wise man gets input from others. Sin is progressive. Are you alert to the flattery? `Flattery is praise with an ulterior motive. Satan minimizes the consequences. Death is the consequence of sin. The Working of Trials Pt.3 The Working of Trials Pt.3 Date: September 11, 2002 Wed PM Teacher: Pastor Richard Miller Synopsis: The Lord allows the righteous to suffer to bring us to death that we might live. Our lives are to be poured out in sacrifice and service to the Lord. There is no "me" time. Can you endure the sufferings that come from obedience? Father wants us to cling to Him every minute of the day. Suffering is so we can minister to others. Is your life for you or a vessel to be offered up for others? God's servants are always being brought to the place of death so the life of Christ can manifest in them. The suffering you go through is to better equip you with compassion to reach out to others. There is no obedience without suffering. Every test you face in life counts. The Working of Trials Pt.4 The Working of Trials Pt.4 Date: September 15, 2002 Sun AM Teacher: Pastor Richard Miller Synopsis: Suffering comes to purify us. The Lord refines us so our worship can come from a pure heart. God wants you melted down where there is no other support. It's Him and Him alone to remold you. The Lord wants our strength gone. How much dross is in our hearts. The fiery furnace is not punishment its purification. How do you do in the fire? Maybe you haven't technically done anything wrong, but is your heart full of self righteousness? Part of purification is to bring us to the place of seeing who and what we are so we no longer trust in ourselves but in God. The Working of Trials Pt.5 The Working of Trials Pt.5 Date: September 15, 2002 Sun PM Teacher: Pastor Richard Miller Synopsis: Purity of heart begins by you seeing how vile you are. Father places us in overwhelming circumstances so we'll remember who's in control. The Lord is trying to cleanse your heart of all self-reliance. Purity starts when you have no confidence in the flesh. Because Job had too high an opinion of himself he never really encountered God. Suffering comes for righteousness' sake. Persecution. Purification in the fire brings intimacy with Father. Purification causes us to hunger and thirst for righteousness. Purification prepares us for service. The Whole Duty of Man The Whole Duty of Man Date: September 18, 2002 Wed PM Teacher: Pastor Star R. Scott Synopsis: Fear God and keep His commandments. Vanity. The sinful mind refuses to accept the futility of what the natural can offer you. Fear - be afraid - stand in awe. The loss of fear is seen in children who walk in disobedience. If we feared God we would obey Him. Your fear of God is in direct correlation to your obedience. Do your children respond to your commandments as suggestions? If your children don't fear you they don't fear God. Fear Him to obedience. It's a gift to be able to see God and sense Him in our visitation. Are you afraid to be out of the will of God? Is the Lord feared in the assembly of His saints? When you've encountered God you don't leave until you've been dismissed. How awesome is God through His Word to you? When there's haughtiness and self-will there's no fear of the Word. God requires: Fear, Obedience, Love, and Service. You find God by searching for wisdom. How much of what we do is based on the fear of the Lord? Our lives are what speak - not our words. Ruth Ruth Date: September 22, 2002 Sun AM Teacher: Pastor Star R. Scott Synopsis: Priest's role in mourning and remarrying. When you do the Word it doesn't always fit into what society thinks. The Whole Duty of Man Pt.2 The Whole Duty of Man Pt.2 Date: September 22, 2002 Sun PM Teacher: Pastor Star R. Scott Synopsis: Don't trust your natural thoughts - listen for the still small voice. Your life is changed in the still small voice. What are you doing to prepare your heart to worship? What are you doing to prepare your family? The decline of the Word of God brings the vexation. The Word hasn't been hidden in our heart if we don't fear God. There's no fear of God if there's not absolute dependence on Him. If your kids have a fear of God they won't fall into the temptation of the world. Our kids need to understand that God resists sin. How sure is your word? If you're not getting results with your kids you're not applying enough pressure. There is no genuine love without fear and there is no fear without love. Glorify Your Father Pt.2 Glorify Your Father Pt.2 Date: September 25, 2002 Wed PM Teacher: Pastor Chuck LaRock Synopsis: What can Satan get a hold of in you? Do you walk in the light? We have to die to the desires to have the praises of men. Do you want others to think that you're something you're not? Choose to love the truth. Surrender your agenda. I don't count my life dear unto myself. The Wedding of Pastor and Mrs. Star R. Scott The Wedding of Pastor and Mrs. Star R. Scott Date: September 29, 2002 Sun AM Teacher: Pastor Star R. Scott Synopsis: The congregation rejoices with Pastor and Greer as the Pastors, Star Scott II, and Greg Parker share testimony and join Pastor Scott and Greer in the covenant of marriage. What is Prayer? Pt.1 What is Prayer? Pt.1 Date: September 29, 2002 Sun PM Teacher: Pastor Richard Miller Synopsis: Prayer is all about your relationship with Father. When you pray, are you touching the heart of God, and is He touching your heart? Elements of a prayer life: Relationship - Our FATHER which art in heaven. Intimacy should be in our prayer life. My place is at His feet worshiping Him. Prayer is a foretaste of the glory to come. Pray out of the illumination God has given to us. Spirit empowered prayers are the groaning to be with Him and to be accepted on that day. Faith is about hearing. Prayer isn't about you - it's all about Him.	October Glorify Your Father Pt.3 Glorify Your Father Pt.3 Date: October 2, 2002 Wed PM Teacher: Pastor Chuck LaRock Synopsis: If you love the truth you love the light. David thought he was above the law. We're zealous about the standard, but we excuse ourselves from it because of our "unique" circumstances. When you invite Satan to dinner he brings his pajamas. When you open the door to sin you open a floodgate. Sneaky. Darkness. If you welcome sin in you'll be overcome. Glorify Your Father Pt.4 Glorify Your Father Pt.4 Date: October 6, 2002 Sun AM Teacher: Pastor Chuck LaRock Synopsis: Love the truth. Abandon all for Him. Temptation. There is no safer place than in obedience to the Word of God. Don't look to the spectacular. A calm rest and peace in the day-to-day decisions. Choose the will of God not knowing what the outcome will be. Glorify Your Father Pt.5 Glorify Your Father Pt.5 Date: October 6, 2002 Sun PM Teacher: Pastor Star R. Scott Synopsis: Honor the Lord. Walk in the Light. Real and genuine faith. Simple Obedience. Working of God is an opportunity to glorify Him. Flow with whatever God sees fit to provide. What is Prayer? Pt.2 What is Prayer? Pt.2 Date: October 9, 2002 Wed PM Teacher: Pastor Richard Miller Synopsis: Guidance by empowering. Leading by taking hold of. Spirit of adoption is the placing of a son. Recognition of ownership. Prayer is two lives becoming one - two hearts becoming one. Demonstration and expression of intimacy. Union. How vulnerable are you to Father? Our greatest danger is settling in to our own thoughts and routine. Spirit led life comes from your prayer life. The abiding in the vine comes from prayer. Yearning for the day we see Him face to face. Prayer is practice - preparation. The Holy Spirit will always pray through you to prepare you for the Lord. The Holy Spirit in you is a taste of what is to come. The more you pray - true communion with Father - the less hold the world will have on you. True prayer starts when you don't know how to pray. Prayer is not effectual unless it begins with the Holy Spirit. What is Prayer? Pt.3 What is Prayer? Pt.3 Date: October 13, 2002 Sun AM Teacher: Pastor Richard Miller Synopsis: Hallowed be thy name. Holy. Give the Lord glory and honor. You're not ready to pray until you've worshiped the Lord. All things are for Him, from Him and about Him. Are your prayers all about Him or all about you? Everything revolves around Him. A sacrifice has no claims on their life. Worship begins at home when you choose to deny yourself. Praise and worship is a vehicle to crucify your flesh. As He increases, you decrease. Praise and worship cause Him to be the focus and you to die. Praise and worship redirects the affections and thoughts of your heart off you and back to Him. We must never become relaxed in God's presence to lose the carefulness. Don't come before the Lord with your selfishness in tact. Worship is pouring out your life before God until there is nothing left. Purest worship is when you've denied yourself the most - our greatest sacrifice. Cleansed to Serve Pt.1 Cleansed to Serve Pt.1 Date: October 16, 2002 Wed PM Teacher: Pastor Star R. Scott Synopsis: Process and purpose of sanctification. How content are you in your place in the body? True sanctification knows what death to self is all about. Sanctification does not bring merit to you. It brings merit and glory to God. Empowering for God's service. It's the work of God. How conscious are you of cleaning yourself up for the glory of God? Everything we do is for eternal purpose. Real sanctification is fleeing from temporal to prepare for the eternal. It's not what we don't do but what we pursue. If your treasures are here your rewards will be here. What are you living for? What do you get up in the morning for? What have you been gifted to do? What's your ministry? Do you know what the call of God on your life is and are you doing it? The sanctified man knows who he is and where he's going. How much are you walking on the line? The anointing isn't how you feel - it's how exclusively you're being used for God. Find your place. Cleansed to Serve Pt.2 Cleansed to Serve Pt.2 Date: October 20, 2002 Sun AM Teacher: Pastor Star R. Scott Synopsis: Sanctification is moving away from the spirit of self-will. Fear is a preoccupation with self. What are you doing with your discretionary time? His will for you is your sanctification. There is no zeal in our youth. Tithe your time. What are you doing with the gifts God has given you? Video games will send you to hell just as quick as heroin. How much do you do in a day with out seeking God? How sanctified are your goals? Our sanctification is predestined through our obedience. Nothing can stop or oppose it but your willful disobedience. What are you doing with the chastening you've been through? Before you can be holier there needs to be chastening. How sensitive are you to the Word of God right now? Cleansed to Serve Pt.3 Cleansed to Serve Pt.3 Date: October 20, 2002 Sun PM Teacher: Pastor Star R. Scott Synopsis: Whatever time Jesus comes in the process of our sanctification we are guaranteed to be glorified because of our positional sanctification. If God has called you He will ordain you for the task. There is no task that is mundane. We're all called to meet the requirements of the office. The purpose of the Holy Spirit is to make you a new person. Too many of us learned to talk in tongues instead of had a visitation of the Holy Spirit. If you can make a bunch of strange noises but your life isn't changed you're not filled with the Holy Ghost. I don't have to try to be born again - I don't have to try to be better than I am it's going to work itself in me. You can't be sanctified until you've been saved. Sin is the enemy of sanctification. Sin hinders sanctified worship. You prepare yourself to be used of God. God calls us to be wholly holy and He guarantees it. Cleansed to Serve Pt.4 Cleansed to Serve Pt.4 Date: October 23, 2002 Wed PM Teacher: Pastor Star R. Scott Synopsis: Every area of our life has to belong to God. We won't be sanctified until we realize we need to be sanctified. Sin can be defeated. How holy is everything you is determined by the effort to keep everything carnal out of it. Not how separate are we from the world, but how available for the kingdom. It's not about how much stuff you have but does the stuff have you. Are you sanctified enough to admit that God has called you to be average. Religion is just tradition until you get quiet enough to get in his presence. Stop working and die (to self will). The sanctification process we're in has been ordained from the foundation of the world. Cleansed to Serve Pt.5 Cleansed to Serve Pt.5 Date: October 27, 2002 Sun AM Teacher: Pastor Star R. Scott Synopsis: Every time we take things back into our lives God has to chasten us. If you are not walking in holiness, you are not in the will of God. Anything we do in our strength is defiling the purity of God working in our lives. There's a call on our lives. Reading the Bible quiets you. The willingness to go is what gives the capacity to hear. Come out of secular humanism and be separate. The ability of sanctification is in God. The availing of it is in us. How bad do you want it? Are you willing to pay the price to be sanctified? You're going to fail if you're not moving in the fear of God. You're only as holy as the last right decision you made for the glory of God. How bad do you want to be used of God? It's not enough to not yield to the world; we have to hate the world! Cleansed to Serve Pt.6 Cleansed to Serve Pt.6 Date: October 27, 2002 Sun PM Teacher: Pastor Star R. Scott Synopsis: Your weakness is part of the call. Your natural abilities or lack thereof are exactly what God intended for you to be so He could show himself mighty in you and He'd get all the glory and not you. The only way to get exalted in this kingdom is to humble yourself. When you think you stand you're outside of sanctification. Faith is trust or reliance that what God has promised He's able to perform. Your whole life is a series of failures. We're on a journey we can't complete in our own strength. We have to die daily. Leadership is not for the proud or self-willed. In the kingdom you have to be servant of all. The true leader says, "who am I? Without Him I can do nothing." The call doesn't guarantee your victory or reward. Women have been called to a role of humility. A role of subordination. The grace is always sufficient to the role God has given you to do. When you make decisions, your kids think, "this is what Jesus is like." Don't count God's work common. Cleansed to Serve Pt.7 Cleansed to Serve Pt.7 Date: October 30, 2002 Wed PM Teacher: Pastor Star R. Scott Synopsis: War with self will. Our greatest warfare is with our nature. Lawful striving. Purging for more fruit. Investing in the eternal. Our lives are not compartmentalized. God may not want you rich, famous or good looking. Be content with how God made you and where he's placed you in the body. Sanctification finds out that God keeps getting better. If you're holy you're holding nothing back for yourself.
November Cleansed to Serve Pt.8 Cleansed to Serve Pt.8 Date: November 3, 2002 Sun AM Teacher: Pastor Star R. Scott Synopsis: If you are going to live sanctified, you are going to have to increase immediately the amount of revelation you receive from the Word of God. Make me as ambitious for your glory as I was for my own. It's not so important where you are it's who you have with you. The anointing is in a realm that the flesh is never comfortable with. God will constantly be bringing you out of your comfort zone. Keep your eyes open for the glory of God. Find what God has called you to do and do it with all your might. Know that body is bigger than your call. Kenya Report 2002 Kenya Report 2002 Date: November 3, 2002 Sun PM Teacher: Pastor Tony Wozniak Synopsis: Report and Testimony of the Ministry in Nairobi and Kakamega. Cleansed to Serve Pt.9 Cleansed to Serve Pt.9 Date: November 6, 2002 Wed PM Teacher: Pastor Star R. Scott Synopsis: Any time we embrace the profane we're committing adultery. God isn't for me - God is for the glory of God. Pride is placing the wrong value on self. You must submit to God before you can resist the Devil. Have you emptied yourself? Humility begins with getting a glimpse of who you are. In the desire to humble ourselves comes the grace to humble ourselves. We need the resurrection from dead works. Drawing near to God is not works it's a heart attitude. You don't leave his presence until you're dismissed. Are you ready to unhook from all your systematic destruction. Our praise is effective when we've known the Word. If we don't know Him through His word we don't know Him. Revelation is more important than memorization. Sanctification is divesting ourselves of everything and trusting God. Whole process of sanctification is God pouring pressure on us to purify us. Cleansed to Serve Pt.10 Cleansed to Serve Pt.10 Date: November 10, 2002 Sun AM Teacher: Pastor Star R. Scott Synopsis: There is no sanctification without purging. What makes you sanctified is your Gethsemane. Drawing nigh to God is choosing God's will for my life. If you are in Christ you will experience purging. Purging begins by revelation. It's about getting quiet before God and asking what am I lacking. There is not cleansing by memorizing the Word of God. Has God's call and placement of you fallen short of your evaluation of yourself? When the body's edified the head is glorified. Total dependence on God is NO dependence on our natural abilities. Separate from Him there is no hope of life. No hope outside of Jesus. The world is an irresistible force. The moment you become separate you begin to whither. Know wisdom. Know instruction. The chastening process begins with the Word. You die to self or you die by yourself. The Evidence of discipleship is the fruit. Obsessed with the glory of God. To be used of Him we have to be more like him. Offered Up Offered Up Date: November 10, 2002 Sun PM Teacher: Pastor Tony Wozniak Synopsis: Appointed time. Giving up something precious for a higher cause. What is the difference if we're the post or the priest if it's been appointed by God? We taste death by the grace of God. Can you yield and embrace the cup God has given to you. Pastor Tony shares insight in how Pastor Scott's trial has affected him. Living in the Supernatural Pt.1 Living in the Supernatural Pt.1 Date: November 13, 2002 Wed PM Teacher: Pastor Star R. Scott Synopsis: Practical Sanctification. Walk of faith. Everything happening in our life is for the good to bring glory to God. Having our minds distinct from the world. The world moves in fear. How free are you from believing in fate? Miracle of the renewed mind. Sanctification comes through fiery trials. You have to put what you love on the altar. Moiria means manifestation of Jehovah. God shows up when your natural strength is gone. God will provide Himself. How are we going to see the big miracles if we can't walk in obvious obedience? The only motivation for the sanctified life is the glory of God. Do the natural, but let the motive be the supernatural. Life of the supernatural is: not my will but thy will be done. Sanctified life is one of absolute contentment. Divesting of all that is natural. Living in the Supernatural Pt.2 Living in the Supernatural Pt.2 Date: November 17, 2002 Sun AM Teacher: Pastor Star R. Scott Synopsis: We like to judge ourselves y our intentions instead of our actions. Faith is the only thing that pleases God. If you give it all up no one can take anything from you. Where do your "needs" stop. God sees you already glorified. Are you free today to give everything you have? To live in the supernatural you have to divest yourself of everything natural. Living in the Supernatural Pt.3 Living in the Supernatural Pt.3 Date: November 17, 2002 Sun PM Teacher: Pastor Star R. Scott Synopsis: The only way to run lawfully is in His strength and ability. Prosperity is in the ability to hear the voice of God and have your house prepared. The moment you forsake the anointing of God your flesh will take over. Seek the kingdom and expect the goodness of God. Sanctification is a process but glorification is coming. Living in the Supernatural Pt.4 Living in the Supernatural Pt.4 Date: November 20, 2002 Wed PM Teacher: Pastor Star R. Scott Synopsis: Every day does not have to be spectacular. God is in the mundane. It's the mundane that brings the eternal reward. What are you doing to prepare for Moriah? Faithfulness is expressed in obedience. One encounter with God will change your life forever. Your faith is only as good as your last act of obedience. How willing are you to become the scourge of the earth? What provision have you made to leave your cushy home and move into a cave? Living in the Supernatural Pt.5 Living in the Supernatural Pt.5 Date: November 24, 2002 Sun AM Teacher: Pastor Star R. Scott Synopsis: God can bless your Ishmael. Supernatural reliance on God in the midst of all our abundance. Your Lots are keeping you from hearing from God. Life in the supernatural is only discernable by being able to analyze your own contentment. You choose not to sin out of respect to God. The pleasure of sin for a season is your temporal satisfaction at the expense of the glory of God. Contentment is to put up a barrier. How content are you with godliness and nothing else. Living in the Supernatural Pt.6 Living in the Supernatural Pt.6 Date: November 24, 2002 Sun PM Teacher: Pastor Star R. Scott Synopsis: Being content with what only your faith can give you. We lose our contentment when we think of ourselves more highly than we ought. Contentment believes that what God have given you is sufficient. I don't want more than what God has given me. Natural man can never have enough. Unbelief is unpersuadeableness. There's a place of rest for the people of God. It takes work to die to self. We don't see our worth in anything we possess but in He who possesses us. Contentment is being satisfied with what he measure of faith can produce. Panel Discussion Panel Discussion Date: November 27, 2002 Wed PM Teacher: Pastoral Staff Synopsis: Pastors and congregation share thankfulness and testimonies of the past year.	December Living in the Supernatural Pt.7 Living in the Supernatural Pt.7 Date: December 1, 2002 Sun AM Teacher: Pastor Star R. Scott The God of Grace The God of Grace Date: December 1, 2002 Sun PM Teacher: Pastor Ron Zarou Synopsis: The foundation of the relationship in Him can't be shaken. Grace will always lead you to know and pursue God. Humility is the magnet that attracts and releases God's grace in you life. Grace enables us to be faithful and fulfill God's grace in your life. You need Jesus today as much as you did the day you got saved. When we're out of fellowship with God nothing in our life is right. The key to hearing God's voice is doing what He says. You will hear to the same degree you're committed to doing what He says. When obedience is motivated out of anything other than our relationship with Jesus we get off course. Grace is given to those who desperately need God. Be willing to be hurt for Jesus. The greatest hindrance to the glory of God revealed in us is self. The greatest expression of grace is Jesus. Living in the Supernatural Pt.8 Living in the Supernatural Pt.8 Date: December 4, 2002 Wed PM Teacher: Pastor Star R. Scott Synopsis: The steps of a good man are ordered of the Lord. The virtuous man has already offered everything up. You're either gonna have God or A god. Everything that happens in our life is that God would get the glory. If you want to be led of the Spirit you have to stop having confidence in yourself. Integrity = wholeness. If you're going to ask God for guidance first break up the fallow ground. Living in the Supernatural Pt.9 Living in the Supernatural Pt.9 Date: December 8, 2002 Sun AM Teacher: Pastor Star R. Scott Synopsis: Walking in the Supernatural is looking for opportunity to glorify God. Walk of prayer. There is no walk in the Spirit that doesn't begin in your prayer closet. Prayer doesn't change God it changes you. Everything we do must be initiated by the anointing of God. Prayer is asking God what you can do to bring Him more glory. The life of prayer is all about bringing fruit. The Word's not going to abide just because you memorize it. It's not about you getting more; it's about you giving all to God. You're not always going to be spectacular. Offered Up Pt.2 Offered Up Pt.2 Date: December 8, 2002 Sun PM Teacher: Pastor Tony Wozniak Synopsis: The hour of the Lord. God chooses to put His glory in clay vessels. Living in the Supernatural Pt.10 Living in the Supernatural Pt.10 Date: December 11, 2002 Wed PM Teacher: Pastor Star R. Scott Synopsis: Living according to God's declared will. Living in a way that brings glory to God. Praising God for the things you haven't seen yet. Touching the heart of God and fulfilling His purposes. Visitation only comes when we're out about Father's business. Instrument of introducing God's purpose in the kingdom of Earth. Let God speak to you through is Word and get in agreement. Prayer is not praying our desires; it's praying the will of God. Is what they have better if it's not what God has for you? What you see is never the problem; its internal. Living in the Supernatural Pt.11 Living in the Supernatural Pt.11 Date: December 15, 2002 Sun AM Teacher: Pastor Star R. Scott Synopsis: Seek God and hasten the return of the Lord. Walking in the supernatural is understanding who you are. Father's got His gaze on the horizon for those who've strayed. We're the people of God. Sin has no power over us. We ARE healed. We are the expression of God. Do you have a confidence of the assurances given to you in Father? Everybody's just as lame as you are. Nobody has it together; some are just better actors than others. Sanctification is a process to make us candidates to be glorified. Your life isn't just about YOUR testimony. Living in the Supernatural Pt.12 Living in the Supernatural Pt.12 Date: December 15, 2002 Sun PM Teacher: Pastor Star R. Scott Synopsis: The world can't seduce you if you're not taken up with its treasures. What has God called us to do? How does He want us to bring Him glory? We want to go to seminars to become stronger when we need to go to prayer to become weaker. We need to be consumed with: what is the will of God. If you're able to be used of God the reward is more pruning. Where God's presence is is the most powerful, prosperous, holiest place on the planet. God can use anything you bring to the table that you'll yield to Him. He sees us not as we are but what we can be. Men who will make themselves available can be anything God ordains us to be. Strength is not in numbers but in purity. He knows what our gifts are - He gave them to us - all he asks is that we use them for Him. Living in the Supernatural Pt.13 Living in the Supernatural Pt.13 Date: December 18, 2002 Wed PM Teacher: Pastor Star R. Scott Synopsis: Even after all the time in Egypt our tendency is still to turn back. When others around you fail don't think you're better. What destroys us is we become earth dwellers. A lot of people want to follow God without following God's leaders. The walk in the supernatural is not between just you and God; you're a member of a body. God brought US together to serve together. The consequence of sanctifying yourself is the Lord will do signs and wonders. You've come out of Egypt but now Egypt has to come out of you. Cut off the filthiness of the flesh. The same angels that ministered to Jesus want to minister to you every day. How solidified is your heart on the course that you're on? Your walk in the supernatural is about building a memorial to God. It's time to cry out for your visitation. The key to victory is to be able to deal with the Word when it's drawn. What in my life needs to be cut off? God's time frame is never normal. God's methods are never normal. When you casually sin you put all of us in jeopardy. Living in the Supernatural Pt.14 Living in the Supernatural Pt.14 Date: December 22, 2002 Sun AM Teacher: Pastor Star R. Scott Synopsis: Carry yourself as an ambassador. The world is driven by fear; we're content. We talk about God and life for ourselves. We're known by our words, our power and our love. Has the reproach of Egypt rolled off of you or is the filth still on you? Fear destroys our ability to walk in the supernatural. God will not revive mice. Men that aren't afraid of anything but God. Nothing but God. All the praying in the world won't help if you have unrepented sin. You need to get things right with God and the body. Willingness to forsake all natural abilities and provision and say God is sufficient. I just want and need your presence. What are we dong to prepare ourselves for the loin's den and the fiery furnace? Having all things in common. Everyone giving of his own time and ability to make sure each one makes it. Spiritual community. Panel Discussion Panel Discussion Date: December 25, 2002 Wed PM Teacher: Pastoral Staff Synopsis: Review and testimonies Enduring the Cross Pt.1 Enduring the Cross Pt.1 Date: December 29, 2002 Sun AM Teacher: Pastor Star R. Scott Synopsis: The cross sets us outside accepted religious boundaries. If you're identifying with the cross of Jesus you will be persecuted. Take up your own cross. Only you can hang on it. The cross is tailor made to your death. Are we aware of the areas in our lives that need to be crucified? It's a lifetime process. Glory in the cross. Once we identify with the cross it causes a crucifixion to the world. Nothing we treasure makes sense to the world. You have to be saved to draw on the benefits of the cross. The message of Christians today is come down from the cross. The message of the gospel is die. Joy set before him. You'll never be able to go to the cross until you can look past it to the reward. Staying power of patience. If you've never felt forsaken by God you've never been on the cross. Death with Jesus is a lonely place. Crucifixion is squeezing the breath out of you. Slow agonizing removal of your life. Every time you come off your cross it's because you've stopped looking at Jesus. Humble Yourselves Humble Yourselves Date: December 29, 2002 Sun PM Teacher: Pastor Star R. Scott Synopsis: True humility is giving honor to God as the source. Allowing God to exalt you when He wants to. Expression of meekness. Display of tenderness. Thinking less of yourself than sin would have us think. Pride puts us on an equal plane with God. Jesus walked in dependence of the Holy spirit just like you and I. Jesus willed to humble Himself. A man of pride will always compare himself to others. It's in our nature to put more worth in ourselves that we should. Humility doesn't look at the flaws of other people - looks at itself. Greatest threat to our lives is a little success. How high do you need to be exalted until you're content? The source of pride is forgetting that we're creatures. The spirit that opposes humility is "I will exalt myself". Will you humble yourself to the sovereign providence of God? Humility is a life of sobriety. True humility seeks to put itself under the truth.
