January Praying Unto Death Praying Unto Death Date: January 2, 2005 Sun AM Teacher: Pastor Richard Miller Moved by God Moved by God Date: January 2, 2005 Sun PM Teacher: Pastor Richard Miller Honor To Whom Honor Honor To Whom Honor Date: January 5, 2005 Wed PM Teacher: Pastor Star R. Scott Synopsis: We are living in a society that is absolutely after one thing, and that is compromise. In the kingdom of God, participation is not enough. We are responsible to obey the laws until there is a conflict with the propagation of the gospel, until the nation begins to ask us to honor them more than God. We are living in a day when tolerance, blatant denial of God, and mockery of the Word of God are being accepted. What are you going to do when this denial comes to you from the power? We as a people are being vexed continually. Truth doesn't make anybody free that doesn't know it, that doesn't live for it, that doesn't have it working in them, and that isn't a "doer of the word". The way to go to hell is to cower down to the world. Jesus deserves His honor. His name deserves to be spoken. The Comforter Pt.1 The Comforter Pt.1 Date: January 9, 2005 Sun AM Teacher: Pastor Star R. Scott Synopsis: It's nothing but religion without the presence of God. That's all you need to get by: to know what Jesus said. This great unitary God lives inside of us. The Holy Spirit can be grieved. He is conscience and cognizant and communicative with us. He is present and He is active in our lives. Many of us confuse our own voice with that of the Holy Spirit. You will not receive specific guidance until you're moving in general obedience. Though the Holy Spirit indwells us at regeneration, the Holy Spirit enables us, and the Holy Spirit renews us, and the Holy Spirit empowers us, in the baptism of the Holy Spirit, which is a distinct subsequent work to regeneration. One of the things the Holy Spirit does is create in you the ability to worship. There has to be gifts in evidence. There has to be ministry of power. Any voice which is the Spirit coming up in you is about Jesus, not about you. The Holy Spirit will reveal your motives. The Comforter Pt.2 The Comforter Pt.2 Date: January 9, 2005 Sun PM Teacher: Pastor Star R. Scott Synopsis: Unless the Spirit is increasing in control of your life, then you're losing this race that we're in. The person of the Holy Spirit manifests Himself for the sole purpose of glorifying Father in the name of Jesus Christ. The Holy Spirit is a free gift; it's to everyone that believes. Being filled with the Holy Spirit is not just to preach the gospel, but to live the gospel. We're asking the Father; Jesus is doing the baptizing. There's no purer praise than a man that's praying under the unction of the Holy Ghost. When you're praying in the spirit, when the Holy Ghost is praying through you in other tongues, you are always praying the will of God, the mind of God. We don't know what to pray for! We do the speaking; the Spirit is the source. The Comforter Pt.3 The Comforter Pt.3 Date: January 12, 2005 Wed PM Teacher: Pastor Star R. Scott Synopsis: The Holy Spirit will empower you. It's about divine order. The Spirit will always lead us into the fruit of the Spirit. If you're not filled with the Holy Spirit you're at a real handicap. The Spirit is offensive to the flesh. There are a lot of skilled false prophets out there. Are we going to hear the voice of God and obey? That voice never promotes self; it's always about Jesus. God wants to use you. Supernaturally being used to build the body of Christ. Any time you hear the voice of the Spirit it will be something that Jesus has already dealt with. Coveting the Gifts of the Spirit. Ready to be used. Quench not the Spirit. Change Change Date: January 16, 2005 Sun AM Teacher: Pastor Chuck LaRock Synopsis: Most of our works are going to be fruit of a changed life. Are we content just having the intention to change? Faith is not supposed to be by itself. It should always have a companion - works. If we trust Him, why are we worried and anxious? Why are we frustrated? Change the way we think. Always being frustrated is not the fruit of communion. Be content knowing we have the Lord. As great as He is we ought to be seeking Him. We don't always forsake our wickedness. We just put it away for a while. The Comforter Pt.4 The Comforter Pt.4 Date: January 16, 2005 Sun PM Teacher: Pastor Star R. Scott Synopsis: Our generation needs a visitation. We have to pursue the visitation. Are you doing the last thing the Holy Spirit told you to do? The Holy Spirit will always emphasize Jesus and not you. It's not about you. It's about you becoming part of the whole body of Christ. God is not glorified by people hearing about what He has done. God is glorified by people appreciating what He has done. Gifts of the Spirit. All gifts are about the body. The Comforter Pt.5 The Comforter Pt.5 Date: January 19, 2005 Wed PM Teacher: Pastor Star R. Scott Synopsis: These spiritual gifts aren't a badge for you to wear; they're a tool to build the body of Christ. The gifts are not a way to measure spirituality. The gifts are an ability to humble ourselves and become servants of all, and to serve. The gifts are functional. The more you speak in tongues, the more you're getting built up. The only time that prophesy is better than tongues is if tongues is not interpreted. The purpose of all the gifts is to edify. It's not about making you great, it's about making God great. Training and Discipleship Pt.1 Training and Discipleship Pt.1 Date: January 23, 2005 Sun AM Teacher: Pastor Chuck LaRock Synopsis: Paul was willing to depart his own lives. We must have a heart for those that we are discipling. We should not begrudge God's will for our lives. We should live exemplary lives. Walk in the glorious calling of discipleship. Paul let his disciples know trouble coming in advance. We as parents need to anticipate and instruct. It is important to realize that this task is hard and you can't do it. Give instruction on how to walk and please God. Inspire to excel still more. As disciples and Christians we are always reaching to do better. We need to encourage in what they have accomplished. Train them in the way that they should go. Training involves establishing a regiment. Train them to spend time with the Lord every day. Kids look up to and have heroes. We pursue what we perceive to be valuable. If I don't love anything together with Him for his sake, I don't love him enough. Everything in my life should begin and end with God. Its Gods love for us that causes Him to reveal himself to us. Don't just be a lecture, be a pattern. We are called to lecture, but so much more. I need to obtain this heart and then transfer it to my children. We should speak about the word naturally because it is on our heart. What God did to save us is important, but what has he done since then. Communicate that to the children. Training and Discipleship Pt.2 Training and Discipleship Pt.2 Date: January 23, 2005 Sun PM Teacher: Pastor Chuck LaRock Synopsis: Your kids should hear you boast in God. When you love something, you talk about it. Body members are to be built up. Role models. Temper your opinions. Tell them about your opportunities to witness. Authority is to be consistent. Practical ways of raising kids. Yelling indicates that you're out of control. Discipline is for the good of the child and the glory of God. Overcoming Temptation Pt.1 Overcoming Temptation Pt.1 Date: January 26, 2005 Wed PM Teacher: Pastor Richard Miller Synopsis: What Satan meant to destroy you God will use to purify you. The temptation will lose its power over you because of Spiritual growth. Way of escape is to ask for wisdom. If you are wise you will learn from the temptation. There's pain involved in temptation. How is my communion with the Word of God? How is my communion with Father? Has there been a lack of carefulness on my part? What are my weaknesses? The Word can bring you back to purity. God will satisfy your soul. Identify your corner. Vexation wears you down. Prepare yourself for the next battle because it's coming again. Covering sin is giving strength. Overcoming Temptation Pt.2 Overcoming Temptation Pt.2 Date: January 30, 2005 Sun AM Teacher: Pastor Richard Miller Synopsis: There are areas you have to guard against. Abstain. Don't let the fleshly lust even get started. You don't get victory over the temptation by fighting the temptation; you get it by denying the temptation. Identify the areas. When Satan comes to destroy you through temptation, he doesn't announce it. He is subtle. Battles of the flesh and mind. You can blind yourself to the light of the gospel by your choices. Progression of sin. If you don't master sin it will master you. There is a strategy to sin. Every choice you make for sin gives it more power. You know you're being vexed when the things of the world are very appealing to you. It always comes down to choices. Overcoming Temptation Pt.3 Overcoming Temptation Pt.3 Date: January 30, 2005 Sun PM Teacher: Pastor Richard Miller Synopsis: The addiction grows from the power of your mind. Temptation is systematic through our choices. You will defame your heavenly Father through the shame sin brings to your life. The fear of the Lord is your greatest deterrent from sin. The power of sin so dulls your senses that it causes you to linger under the judgment of God. The power of sin makes you blind and insane. You're under the power of temptation when you count the earthly treasures as better than God. Warning signs. The way out. you're still flirting with it if you aren't angry with it.	February Prophecy, Tongues and Interpretation Prophecy, Tongues and Interpretation Date: February 2, 2005 Wed PM Teacher: Pastor Chuck LaRock The Cross Pt.1 The Cross Pt.1 Date: February 6, 2005 Sun AM Teacher: Pastor Star R. Scott Synopsis: The cross is the symbol of the true believer. Personal cross - your daily choice to die. Finding ways to die to ourselves more completely. Self denial has nothing to do with works; it's about preparation. There's nothing joyous about the moment of self denial. Every one of us is selfish and a rebel. Jesus' death requires your death. How recognizable is your separation from the world? The cross is a matter of your will. It won't be forced on you. You go to the cross; it doesn't come to you. Your flesh is not going to change. It will always want more. The Cross Pt.2 The Cross Pt.2 Date: February 6, 2005 Sun PM Teacher: Pastor Star R. Scott Synopsis: Daily goal to get crucified. The old man is not the stronger force by choosing righteousness. It's a choice. Don't even give the flesh the chance. The mirror of the Word will cause you to stay on your diet. To honor God I choose to kill self. It's a matter of obeying God - not controlling your life. Become of no reputation. We know the doctrine but we don't walk the walk. Servants choose against self whenever it's an issue. God will chasten us but we have to humble ourselves. We are not what we think we are. Humility is the ability to see ourselves as we truly are. You'll never get a glimpse of yourself until you're on the cross. If you're striving to die for the purpose of being exalted you're not dead. You remain on the cross forever. The cross is about Lordship. The flesh can't do what it wants to when we choose to honor the Spirit. The choice is who to worship. For Jesus to be Lord you have to die with Him. Embracing the cross costs you everything. The Cross Pt.3 The Cross Pt.3 Date: February 9, 2005 Wed PM Teacher: Pastor Star R. Scott Synopsis: The cross is the emblem of suffering and shame. If the world likes it we ought to hate it. We have a crossless Christianity. The cross is about becoming more like Jesus. The cross is a choice; you have to embrace it. Is my life being spent in what God wants it to be? What has God called you to do and are you doing it? Choosing less so we can do more for the eternal. We're being destroyed through our prosperity and self indulgence. All of the world is selfishness. The Cross Pt.4 The Cross Pt.4 Date: February 13, 2005 Sun AM Teacher: Pastor Star R. Scott Synopsis: If we're going to know the power of His resurrection we need to know the pain of His sufferings. We are called to a lifetime of horrible death. Bowing your knee will never be easy. Count the cost. The world always speaks of individuals being lords of themselves. Being crucified to self-exaltation and ego. The self-exaltation is not always done consciously. Sometimes it's just who you are. Whatever I'm doing without has to make me more like Jesus. It's a lifetime of habitual choices to die. The cross is purposeful destruction of ego and self. There's a cross and a throne in each one of our lives; which one are you on? We make things that are temporary have more value than they do. They are to be used up. Little foxes - many of the things you say yes to yourself about - say no. New value system. Panel Discussion Panel Discussion Date: February 13, 2005 Sun PM Teacher: Pastoral Staff Synopsis: The cross is not hardship; it's Lordship. God chastens us so He can put us on the cross. The key is discipline. Our children don't know denial. The cross is unlovely but it is to be cherished and pursued. The cross isn't where were finished. It's the place of resurrection power. The Cross Pt.6 The Cross Pt.6 Date: February 20, 2005 Sun AM Teacher: Pastor Star R. Scott Synopsis: When we are talking about the cross, we are talking about the heart of God. Because men who go to the cross living are truly dead men, and men who die on the cross take their lives up again. To embrace the cross is to become so absolutist, so separate, so unique, so distinct, and so isolated that everybody else hates us because we absolutely believe this is infallible. The denying of self is the denying of self-confidence. Dying daily is the constant choice of obedience to the heart of God. The seeker friendly message which is building all of the big churches of today is the enemy of the cross: it's another gospel. Jesus' life was a life lived identifying with the cross. We're not working for heaven; we're guaranteed heaven if we stay dead to self. The man who has been to the cross never sees others' sins critically, but tragically. The secret of sanctification is a force called reckoning. Reckoning is the ability to see the finished work as God sees it. Conforming to the death of Christ is the conscious awareness of the lack of ambition. The Cross Pt.7 The Cross Pt.7 Date: February 20, 2005 Sun PM Teacher: Pastor Star R. Scott Synopsis: It's not about dying, it's about living--but you have to die to live. There's only one way that you can know this power of God, and that's to be able to be conformable to His death. To be crucified with Him is to live with Him. The spiritual man is the one that reckons himself dead in Jesus Christ, and alive in resurrection power, and confident that the Spirit of God is ordering our steps leading us into all truth. To reckon means to put to your account the fact that sin is no longer dominant in your life. God's purpose is for your victory. God is not keeping score, you're not judged. You can't pray enough to get healed. What's going to get you healed is to reckon to your account that by the stripes of Jesus you are healed. It's not by works, it's by faith. It's by the acknowledging of a victory won. No scorekeeping, no longer judged by effort, by accomplishments or failures, but by reckoning of the declared righteousness that's been put to our account. Walk, Sit, Stand Pt.1 Walk, Sit, Stand Pt.1 Date: February 23, 2005 Wed PM Teacher: Pastor Star R. Scott Synopsis: Principles of temperate living. Don't get in a hurry; don't get discouraged. Regardless of what you hear tomorrow, you'll never be finished. We judge ourselves by ourselves. We need one another. Be very careful about who you pick to hang out with. Where are you hanging out? What are you doing? Abstinence isn't enough. We must pursue righteousness. Its every day disciplining ourselves to do the little things. Conscious decisions and preparation to abstain from what you prefer to the good of somebody else. Evilness is self will - self exaltation. Begin with something you can do and make it a habit. Lifestyle changes take time. The reason we're not more proficient spiritually is because we don't want to be. Walk, Sit, Stand Pt.2 Walk, Sit, Stand Pt.2 Date: February 27, 2005 Sun AM Teacher: Pastor Star R. Scott Synopsis: The world is anything that exalts itself above God. Apparent good can be evil. We will always be in opposition to the majority. We need temperance, discipline and a re-directing of our priorities and values to the heavenly. Overconfidence, idleness and wrong companionship. Cloud of witnesses. This race is a marathon - not a sprint. Run with patience. It's not acceptable to coast. There need to be a consistent continual effort being made. Am I improving? Preparing myself constantly. Push yourself. If you die in faith you're a success. What is hindering me from consistent growth? Lay aside every weight. Sin is not just doing evil, its also not doing good. Don't start by looking at what you can stop - begin walking in the Spirit. What does God have to say about our schedule?
March Local Outreach Update Local Outreach Update Date: March 6, 2005 Sun PM Teacher: Pastor Star R. Scott Confession and Forgiveness Pt.1 Confession and Forgiveness Pt.1 Date: March 9, 2005 Wed PM Teacher: Pastor Richard Miller Synopsis: How long can you go without God's presence? God expects an apology; He expects a confession. The Pharisee focused on what he did; the publican focused on what he was. Confessing sins is like praise and worship - we need it more than God needs it. God considers it deceit when you don't confess your sins. God doesn't see the sin; He sees the heart in pursuit of righteousness. The Godly man is the one who makes everything in life stop until he is back in right relationship with Father. Forgiveness is by mercy. When was the last time you confessed your sins knowing He's under no obligation to forgive you this time? Don't ask for the forgiveness if you're not also asking for the deliverance. Confession and Forgiveness Pt.2 Confession and Forgiveness Pt.2 Date: March 13, 2005 Sun AM Teacher: Pastor Richard Miller Synopsis: The chastening is for your eternal good. Throughly wash me over and over. We mistake the sin in our heart for the sin in our members. The sin in our heart has to go. There must be a cleansing of the heart. Forgiveness and cleansing are always together. God is the standard we live by. Godly sorrow has one source - I have broken the heart of my Father. Repenting people are desperate people. You see what is in you that caused the action. We often have to be brought to the end of ourselves. How much of your repentance is your work? It's ridiculous to think that you can do something to purify your own heart. God's part is the purifying. Our part is communing with God. Unbelief takes us out of God's rest. The Word of God operating in you is your only hope of freedom. Is the Lord my Shepherd? Is the Lord my Shepherd? Date: March 13, 2005 Sun PM Teacher: Pastor Steve Gardner Synopsis: Psalm 23. Sheep. Shepherd. If the shepherd is not in control of his sheep, he takes them out. Even if you're a sheep leading other sheep, you're still not the shepherd. Sheep had to be free of fear to lie down and rest. They had to be free from friction in the fold. Free from pests and hunger. The Ministry of the Word The Ministry of the Word Date: March 16, 2005 Wed PM Teacher: Pastor Richard Miller Synopsis: The vexation is intelligent. Supernatural infusion of life. God longs to reveal Himself to you. Without the Spirit of truth you would have no understanding of the Word. The old covenant was the letter. Make sure your heart stays surrendered to the Lord. You don't have a communion with the Word of God until you hear the Lord speaking to you thorough the text. Our job is to continue. Destruction and death come from neglect. Become enraptured with the Spirit of Life. What is the focus of your heart? Your thought life guides your perceptions. The weapon pulls down the stronghold; not you. Let the Word extinguish the fiery darts. The Word brings us into rest. Your only job is to stay on the altar. The Word will set everything in order. The 23rd Psalm The 23rd Psalm Date: March 20, 2005 Sun AM Teacher: Pastor Star R. Scott Synopsis: God has a plan for your life. God will always bring you back to the course that He has for your life. The way we respond to that look indicates the degree of our love and respect and honor for His lordship. How are you dealing at this time with where God has you in life? You'll bring more glory to God in fellowshipping with Him than you will working for Him. He will not withhold anything that's good for you. The 23rd Psalm Pt.2 The 23rd Psalm Pt.2 Date: March 20, 2005 Sun PM Teacher: Pastor Star R. Scott Synopsis: The Shepherd is not leading us into a life that's trouble free. We choose to be weak. It's not about physical healing; it's about the secret place and the glory of God. Everything in our life is trying to rob the glory of God from us. Trust in His presence. Overshadowed by the presence of God. There are no green pastures in the valley of the shadow death. Prepare now. Living separate supernaturally. Bread of Idleness Bread of Idleness Date: March 23, 2005 Wed PM Teacher: Pastor Star R. Scott Synopsis: Bread of Idleness. Lack of pursuing Spiritual things in our generation. Sodomites are privileged and protected. When the mind is not pursuing God it will be taken over by wickedness. Inventing evil. You're either pursuing God or going backwards. There is no satisfaction in abundance. We're being "blessed" out of our blessings. How busy are you with idleness? Idleness is putting more value on the temporal than the eternal. Idleness is taking too much energy on yourself. Lack of productivity for the eternal. What are you doing for the eternal? Everything else is idleness. We experience the abundance of God and forget where it came from. It's in our trust in Him that He's glorified. It's sin to look for gratification outside of God. Fashion, vocation, recreation is all idolatry. Don't allow yourself to step into the neutral. We're in danger if we're not pursuing perfection. He Is Risen He Is Risen Date: March 27, 2005 Sun AM Teacher: Pastor Star R. Scott Synopsis: God is infinitely merciful and His infinite mercy never contradicts with His infinite justice. Not a message of life but a message of death to self. Jesus came to die. There were no surprises if you knew the gospel. The Holy God had your sin put upon Him. Easter is not just about Jesus coming out of the tomb. Easter is about Jesus coming back. It's not over. Being willing to become part of the whole. If Christ is not risen our faith is in vain. What in the World! What in the World! Date: March 27, 2005 Sun PM Teacher: Pastor Star R. Scott Synopsis: Boasting in nothing but the cross. You have rights to be everything in America but a Christian. What attracts you to the world? Our failure to bring them the cross endorses their behavior. Using the world but not abusing it. When you give the world the same credibility as the Spirit you're abusing it. Are we going to be content with information about the bible or are we going to live it? We abuse it by accepting what they tell us as truth. The whole world's system is a continuous infomercial. It's lust if when given the opportunity you'd take it. We're just caught between the battle of two kingdoms. They hate you and they hate the Jesus that died for you. He destroys the majority by wrapping the world in religion. Practicing Patience Pt.1 Practicing Patience Pt.1 Date: March 30, 2005 Wed PM Teacher: Pastor Star R. Scott Synopsis: Trusting God. Regardless of what things look like now you're in jeopardy. Are we conscious of the war that we're in? Dung is everything you used to trust in. The closer we draw to Him and the more we know Him the greater we see the mess we're in. You know things are going right if you're still pressing forward with all your might. Practicing patience to the end. Stay in the fire. Internally start believing God for the provision. Patience isn't just endurance; it's consistence. Patiently endure the death process.	April Practicing Patience Pt.2 Practicing Patience Pt.2 Date: April 3, 2005 Sun AM Teacher: Pastor Star R. Scott Synopsis: How constant are we in our belief? Everyone is under the power of tolerance except the extreme fundamentalists. Jesus, if not accepted, stumbles all men. Happy are they which endure. We need to discipline ourselves. Listen to who's being glorified. You need to study daily to not be deceived. We're being called to abide in the truth and be consistent in our beliefs. Running to and fro - purposeless busyness. When you compromise doctrine in one place you have to compromise it everywhere. Humility is obeying God instead of man. Forbearance is enduring others maturation process and frailties. Steadfastness. Immovable. You hold your ground to have a goal and be unmovable. Practicing Patience Pt.3 Practicing Patience Pt.3 Date: April 3, 2005 Sun PM Teacher: Pastor Star R. Scott Synopsis: The patience is in attaining the will of God. Don't get distracted by the "will of God" that's anywhere outside of your personal sanctification. Have you finished what God told you to do last? Lack of patience is a lack of trust. What's taking place in your life right now is for an eternal purpose. We put God on a schedule. We're trying to press eternity into time and space. Proclaim God's goodness. Are you going to be able to let God fight for you? The adversities of life are the challenges to whether we believe in God's love for us or not. We boast in the glory of God in the midst of tribulation. If I'm frustrated than what I'm involved in is temporal. When we're in faith there is rest. Your labor is not in vain in the Lord. Rest That Remains Pt.1 Rest That Remains Pt.1 Date: April 6, 2005 Wed PM Teacher: Pastor Star R. Scott Synopsis: The greatest way to understand whether you're in faith or not, whether you're walking in the supernatural or not, is whether or not you're walking free from fear, anxiety. If our soul isn't at rest, we're not yoked with Jesus. Every time you come into the presence of God, He heals your mind, He calms your heart, He builds your faith. Have you been coming to prayer, or have you been encountering Father? There's no fear of men's faces to those of us that have the yoke of Jesus upon us. Anxiousness keeps you from hearing the voice of God. As long as you're anxious, as long as you're stressed, you can't be in faith. Rest That Remains Pt.2 Rest That Remains Pt.2 Date: April 10, 2005 Sun AM Teacher: Pastor Star R. Scott Synopsis: Fear can cause you to become paralyzed or supernaturally strong. You'll have peace contrary to circumstances. He doesn't want you to draw your peace from your environment he wants you to draw it from His presence. If there's no peace you are not yoked up with Jesus. How easy are you coping with circumstances right now? That shows how yoked up you are. The Lord will give strength to believe in His presence. The moment I'm free from having to do it in my own strength I'm at rest. Worry takes a lot of energy. You can worry so much that your body doesn't work. We're living so far below where He wants us. How many things do you do each day that you don't include God in? No wonder you're uptight. Are you scheduling God out of your day and anxiety in? Is your mind stayed on Him? Rest That Remains Pt.3 Rest That Remains Pt.3 Date: April 10, 2005 Sun PM Teacher: Pastor Star R. Scott Synopsis: There is no peace outside of the presence of God. His presence fulfills you. Keeping our minds stayed on Father. Love is a relationship; it's trust. Everything Jesus did on the cross was to get you to walk in the cool of the day again. Accepted in the beloved. Peace through the blood of His cross. The peace is in the presence. If you're resting in you're justification you will know the peace of God. We stay anxious because we don't want to hear what the Word of God says. More Than Enough More Than Enough Date: April 13, 2005 Wed PM Teacher: Pastor Star R. Scott Synopsis: Provision from God. Abundance. We limit God to what we perceive as natural justice. He has not run out in His ability to love you. His love is limitless. God purposefully blesses all of us. We limit Him because we're not living by faith. When you seek the stuff, Satan will give it to you and you'll be in bondage. Give out of obedience. You don't give to get; you give because you've received. Approach every situation with God as the source. I Need Help Pt.1 I Need Help Pt.1 Date: April 17, 2005 Sun AM Teacher: Pastor Chuck LaRock Deliver Us From Evil Deliver Us From Evil Date: April 17, 2005 Sun PM Teacher: Pastor Chuck LaRock Synopsis: Deliver us from evil. Getting in His presence clears our vision. The most important deliverance in a trial is to be delivered from self. Pray consistently and continually to be delivered from evil. Evil of deception. We're protected as we live in the light and are willing to be subjected to the light. Love the truth. Evil of lukewarmness. Idolatry of feeling that all is well because it is materially well. Our pursuit is a measure of our condition. Evil of loving the world. You can't expect to be delivered from evil when you spend so much time meditating on the world and so little time meditating on the Lord. Yoked With Jesus Pt.1 Yoked With Jesus Pt.1 Date: April 20, 2005 Wed PM Teacher: Pastor Richard Miller Synopsis: The yoke is to embrace death to self. You'll never know peace until you surrender to God. Discontentment is rebellion against God's sovereign purpose for your life. There are no accidents. You haven't embraced the yoke until you are surrendered to His will in your life. It's easy and light because of the one we are yoked with. Trust is a combination of choice and relationship. Keep your mind stayed on Him to keep your trust in Him. Who you trust in and who you depend on can be seen in your prayer life. Someone who trusts in God doesn't think they know what they're doing. When you're yoked with Jesus there is praise continually in your heart. Yoked With Jesus Pt.2 Yoked With Jesus Pt.2 Date: April 24, 2005 Sun AM Teacher: Pastor Richard Miller Synopsis: Surrender to His sovereignty and Lordship. Surrender to His commandments. Yoke is abandonment of self lordship. Is Jesus enough? The fact that you're yoked with Jesus ought to be the thrill of your life. We have to be trained to be content. Chastisement is training. You'll never be content until God is your life. You're depressed because you're going to all the wrong places. His plan is perfect - there are no flaws. Yoked With Jesus Pt.3 Yoked With Jesus Pt.3 Date: April 24, 2005 Sun PM Teacher: Pastor Richard Miller Synopsis: You are right where God wants you at this moment. Many of the trials you go through are for the community. By nature we are discontent. Set yourself apart and seek after Him. Early will I seek thee. Before anything else can grab your attention. If you're not full of God, you'll be enticed. His presence is contagious. In Due Time In Due Time Date: April 27, 2005 Wed PM Teacher: Pastor Star R. Scott Synopsis: Pride is putting the wrong value on yourself. Humility is putting the proper value on yourself. There is no merit to anything that is temporal. Humility is realizing our inability and God's greatness in us. Don't be lords but be patterns. Our prosperity conflicts with humility. If you haven't been through the fire and everything has been handed to you then you have no character. It's not how little you have but how little you think of yourself. We could teach our children humility by just saying NO more. We live in a society of "I Am therefore I Deserve". Humility waits for God's time. You're not to be popular; you're to be just.
May In Due Time Pt.2 In Due Time Pt.2 Date: May 1, 2005 Sun AM Teacher: Pastor Star R. Scott Synopsis: In due time God will free you from yourself - that is exaltation. To be nothing in God's presence is the glory of man. God's service is your greatest liberty. Until self is nothing, God is not all. Patience is the fruit of humility. Satan is constantly feeding you with pride. If you thing you'll be content by what you posses you're deceived. Humility can be resisted regardless of the amount of pressure God puts on you. It's a choice of devaluing yourself. The glory of God has to be desired more than the glory of self. In Due Time Pt.3 In Due Time Pt.3 Date: May 1, 2005 Sun PM Teacher: Pastor Star R. Scott Synopsis: One of the greatest expressions of pride can be serving. Find what you'll be good at and do it for God alone. Praises and acceptance of men. In every one of us is the desire to be pre-eminent. God is the author of the circumstances in your life. What is the motive behind what is being taught? Is it to honor God or to honor man? Serve where you've been placed. God has you where He wants you right now. Discontentment is one of the greatest revelations of pride in your life. Are you content with what God's doing in your life right now? Don't shy away from the blessing thinking that's humility. Pride believes that gain is godliness. You can never experience true humility when you're trying to earn God's acceptance. True humility doesn't trust self. Humility is choosing to obey contrary to your natural desire. Free From Entanglements Free From Entanglements Date: May 4, 2005 Wed PM Teacher: Pastor Richard Miller Synopsis: Be strong in the grace to escape the pollution of the world. Suffer in the company who endure. Soldiers are disciplined. This life is a war. The desire to please Him has to be the motive to be temperate. This race is saying not my will but thine be done. I have no rights. Dying is daily. The closer you get to God the more trials and temptations you're going to have. Faith is trading the visible for the invisible. Without preparation you're going to fail. Run as though your life depends on being first. Not keeping your body under will disqualify you from the race. We do it to know Him. Being too busy to commune with God angers Him. In Due Time Pt.4 In Due Time Pt.4 Date: May 8, 2005 Sun AM Teacher: Pastor Star R. Scott Synopsis: The ability to put the proper value on ourselves because we put the proper value on God. The humble man is willing to be an extension of the grace of God. God is all - self is nothing; get more of God in you. To be nothing in God's presence is the glory of man. Humility is being able to accept that where we are and what we have is for the glory of God. The self righteous man trusts in himself and despises others. Absolute nothingness. Exaltation is liberty from self-dominion. Humility is evidenced in obedience to death. We are not what our emotions express; we are what our intentions are. Panel Discussion Panel Discussion Date: May 8, 2005 Sun PM Teacher: Pastoral Staff Synopsis: Judging other Christians. Humility is knowing what God made you and that He made you. God's grand plan for you is more of the same. Learning the value of the exaltation that God gives. When God is all, self is nothing. Humility is being yoked up to do the will of God. Spring Pastors Conference Spring Pastors Conference Date: May 11, 2005 Wed PM Teacher: Satellite Pastors Synopsis: Discussion of the recent Pastor's conference. Are Your Blessings Blessings Pt.1 Are Your Blessings Blessings Pt.1 Date: May 15, 2005 Sun AM Teacher: Pastor Chuck LaRock Synopsis: His blessings should cause us to know Him more. The blessings are to lead us to the greater blessing in Father. The blessings are an expression of God desiring to know you more. Are Your Blessings Blessings Pt.2 Are Your Blessings Blessings Pt.2 Date: May 15, 2005 Sun PM Teacher: Pastor Chuck LaRock Synopsis: We glorify God when we trust Him more. His purpose is for us to enjoy. His end purpose is that we would trust Him more. We should be more mindful to thank Father after we enjoy something. The closer you get to Him the greater a passion you have to know His heart. Rejoice in the Lord Rejoice in the Lord Date: May 18, 2005 Wed PM Teacher: Pastor Richard Miller His Way, Our Way, No Way His Way, Our Way, No Way Date: May 22, 2005 Sun AM Teacher: Pastor Star R. Scott Synopsis: We can never comprehend His eternal purposes. We walk by faith. We don't know what God is doing in the eternal when we live in the finite. Many of us serve God out of our heads. Serve God from the heart. Armor of God - we get partly dressed and ask God why we're getting beat-up. Will of God is the whole duty of man. All humanity lost their will in the garden. Everything in your life is best for you. You are right where God wants you to be. Most of us are so diluted we don't know who we really are. Destroy the old man by developing a jealousy for the lord in you life. God's will is not an end - it's a journey. Africa Missions Trip Skits Africa Missions Trip Skits Date: May 22, 2005 Sun PM Teacher: Missions Team His Way, Our Way, No Way Pt.2 His Way, Our Way, No Way Pt.2 Date: May 25, 2005 Wed PM Teacher: Pastor Star R. Scott Synopsis: Walk in the paths of God. In peace accept God's sovereignty in our lives. To will and to do. We don't always want to do the will of God. Sometimes God's will can only be accomplished in agony. We only see God as good as how well we comprehend His goodness. Faith is the ability to obey without understanding. Nothing happens by chance. Give thanks in everything. His Way, Our Way, No Way Pt.3 His Way, Our Way, No Way Pt.3 Date: May 29, 2005 Sun AM Teacher: Pastor Star R. Scott Synopsis: Agenda Free. Most of the time as you're in God's will you won't know it clearly until after it has already gone by. The will of God is sanctification. The sin is in not trusting in God. The sin is in leaning to the natural understanding. The Word of God is the only thing that can strengthen the heart, enabling it to control the mind, to bring every thought into subjection to the will or the Word of God. Many of us do the Word out of obligation. You will never comprehend the love that God has for you, the goodness that He intends for you. Stop believing God for stuff! Just start believing God. If you'll humble yourself to the will of God you'll be free from self and God can be glorified in that His Way, Our Way, No Way Pt.4 His Way, Our Way, No Way Pt.4 Date: May 29, 2005 Sun PM Teacher: Pastor Star R. Scott Synopsis: We can't ever totally abandon confidence in the flesh until we really understand God's intention to do us good all the days of our lives. God is good whether the circumstances are bad or not. Because there's an eternal purpose that's working in our lives, and God's goodness to us can't be measured by your momentary experiences of what you would perceive as good or not. The word perfect just means the will of God being completed in us. This is what pleases Him today: a life that's wholly committed to Him and offered up. The will of God is divesting ourselves of independence and self-confidence. Thinking more highly of yourself is ever thinking that anything you do is meritorious. All the cross is is death to self. That's God's will for your life: to be able to live in the sufficiency of today. That's the will of God for us: to realize that His intentions are good.	June Peter or Judas Peter or Judas Date: June 1, 2005 Wed PM Teacher: Pastor Richard Miller Synopsis: Steps of good man are ordered. Good man still falls. Failure. Ordered - established beforehand. Failure is in every one of our lives. Abraham offering natural alternative. Dependence on natural. Greatest weakness became His greatest strength. Jacob - God has ways at getting at your character flaws. God knows what circumstances will purify your life. Jacob was a manipulator and liar. God wants us to hate who we are. You can become a Peter or a Judas. See your failures as opportunity for God's miracles. Job was self-righteous. I am continually with thee. God does not reject you because of your failures. God relates to you based on the blood of Jesus. The Selflessness of Christ Pt.1 The Selflessness of Christ Pt.1 Date: June 5, 2005 Sun AM Teacher: Pastor Richard Miller Synopsis: Moved with compassion. bowels of mercy. Kindred Spirits. Supernatural eternal bond. Let nothing be done through selfish ambition. You die to yourself by preferring the person next to you. You will experience the salvation of God as you're involved with the body. The Selflessness of Christ Pt.2 The Selflessness of Christ Pt.2 Date: June 5, 2005 Sun PM Teacher: Pastor Richard Miller Africa Missions Testimonies Africa Missions Testimonies Date: June 8, 2005 Wed PM Teacher: Missions Team One Lord-One Body Pt.1 One Lord-One Body Pt.1 Date: June 12, 2005 Sun AM Teacher: Pastor Star R. Scott Synopsis: The kingdom isn't ambitious for self but for the glory of God. Bought with the blood of Jesus and placed as it pleases Him. We want to be other than we are but when are we going to realize God hasn't made any mistakes. How can we say because I'm not preeminent I'm not of value? God has a different value system than man. The worst thing you can do is think you can mature to the place of not needing the rest of the body. How ready are you to receive ministry from the body? We'll be strong in relation to our ability to be content with our placement. The uncomely gets us through every day. One Lord-One Body Pt.2 One Lord-One Body Pt.2 Date: June 12, 2005 Sun PM Teacher: Pastor Star R. Scott Synopsis: We believe that what we enjoy doing is what we are called to do. Wherever the leadership places you is where God wants you. Spirituality is loving one another and serving one another. Take one step back and realize how patient God is with you. You're uglier on the inside and God still loves you. We're placed for the edifying of the body of Christ. Somewhat Against You Pt.1 Somewhat Against You Pt.1 Date: June 15, 2005 Wed PM Teacher: Pastor Star R. Scott Synopsis: Seven churches of Revelation. The church is what you are. This church is what we bring in here as individuals. if we're staying the same, we're going backwards, because iniquity is abounding. We live in the most dangerous time and in the most dangerous country on the planet. Doctrinally, we believe in the imminent return of the Lord Jesus, but we're not living like it. There is no place for self-indulgence and assuming that the anointing is going be there. The way to embrace that truth and reveal that truth is to live for others rather than ourselves. Every one of us in here has to change constantly. Every new thing is there to choke the Word of God out of your life. We have a whole generation of "softies" that want to get softer. God is not expecting you to pray and fast 24 hours a day, but He is expecting to be Lord and determine when you do it and when you don't. Part of our problem is that we have the wrong concept of Father and we don't understand His love and His desire to bless us in these ways, so we take it to ourselves Somewhat Against You Pt.2 Somewhat Against You Pt.2 Date: June 19, 2005 Sun AM Teacher: Pastor Star R. Scott Synopsis: Repentance- change course. Return to your first love. Everything God has done in our lives is to bring Him glory. Has your pursuit of the world increased and your pursuit of God decreased. We forget how much we're forgiven. What are you doing to make yourself cleaner. Are we living like Jesus can come back at any moment. The more you determine to be like Him - the greater the opposition. There needs to be a jealousy for the order of God. Jesus was addressing the majority public opinion of the day. The majority is always wrong. We come together to prepare to take over the world. We forget where we've been and think today is the best. What we are as a community is what we predominately are as individuals. Missions Video Missions Video Date: June 19, 2005 Sun PM Teacher: Pastor Star R. Scott Somewhat Against You Pt.3 Somewhat Against You Pt.3 Date: June 22, 2005 Wed PM Teacher: Pastor Star R. Scott Synopsis: If you're adorned in the full armor of God you can't be passive. Strive for the mastery. Temperate in all things. The heat of the community is based on the heat of each member. If we love God with all of our heart what's left over for the other stuff. Seeker friendly isn't new - its Catholicism. Common to them of worldly compromise. The Hope of His Return Pt.1 The Hope of His Return Pt.1 Date: June 26, 2005 Sun AM Teacher: Pastor Richard Miller Synopsis: Shaping our everyday life and conduct. It takes faith to believe in the rapture. Our minds need to be stirred up continually. You know the doctrine but do you have the expectancy? Thief in the night. Hasting to the coming of the Lord. The measure of your expectancy is the degree of your preparation. Our trials make us ready to stand on that day. Our lives are governed by the invisible. Glorified body. Joined to the groom. The Hope of His Return Pt.2 The Hope of His Return Pt.2 Date: June 26, 2005 Sun PM Teacher: Pastor Richard Miller Somewhat Against You Pt.4 Somewhat Against You Pt.4 Date: June 29, 2005 Wed PM Teacher: Pastor Star R. Scott Synopsis: Compromise vs. Phineas. Temptation to abuse liberty. God's people must stay pure and separate. Doctrine of Nicolaitanes is "majority rules." Don't embrace new fads. The children will bear the sins of the parents. Success in the kingdom is the opposite of what the world is promoting. Names can be blotted out. Find out what God is doing and get in the program.
July Living in the Miraculous Pt.1 Living in the Miraculous Pt.1 Date: July 3, 2005 Sun AM Teacher: Pastor Star R. Scott Synopsis: Daily walk in the Supernatural. Technology is robbing our faith. We're trusting in the natural and not the supernatural. What's the last thing your children had to believe God for. Power to be witnesses. If Jesus is here there ought to be signs and wonders. Praying in one accord. Come and believe for a visitation. Its not whether the need is met, it's whether God is glorified. Faithful in the small things. Occupying is not to be waiting but to be representing. We're losing genuine trust in the provision of God. True signs of believers: boldness, separation. We have to become much better than what we are. Our weapons are spiritual. The Holy Spirit is given to those that obey Him. Living in the Miraculous Pt.2 Living in the Miraculous Pt.2 Date: July 3, 2005 Sun PM Teacher: Pastor Star R. Scott Synopsis: There is no 1st century church and 21st century church; there is only the church. Our first commitment is to the household of faith. Get involved in the outpouring of the Holy Spirit. God did not call us to co-exist with this world. He called us to take over. The power of the resurrection Jesus makes our religion unique. Are we believing for God to be our source and not man. Become sensitive to the voice of the Holy Spirit. Are we prepared when the Lord speaks? Don't go out and try to make things happen. Be prepared. You will not experience something spectacular every day. Most of life is mundane. Living in the supernatural is being able to sleep when everyone else is wringing their hands. Are Your Blessings Blessings Pt.3 Are Your Blessings Blessings Pt.3 Date: July 6, 2005 Wed PM Teacher: Pastor Chuck LaRock Trust Worthy Trust Worthy Date: July 10, 2005 Sun AM Teacher: Pastor Forbe Carlson Synopsis: Testimony about the last month for Pastor Forbe and the church in Maine. Come and die. Even bad things become a place of refuge when something worse happens. Death to self. We may boldly come before His throne. Are Your Blessings Blessings Pt.4 Are Your Blessings Blessings Pt.4 Date: July 10, 2005 Sun PM Teacher: Pastor Chuck LaRock Synopsis: See God as our provider. Are your blessings causing you to trust Him more. He purposefully did things to cause us to know Him. Are you less attached to the stuff? Cheerful givers. More giving. Finding the Joy in Dying Pt.1 Finding the Joy in Dying Pt.1 Date: July 13, 2005 Wed PM Teacher: Pastor Richard Miller Synopsis: Chastening is to bring you to self denial. God knows how to push your buttons. Its not about you and its not about this life - its all about the life to come. The circumstances in your life are not an accident. God is jealous for your heart. He is fighting for the affection of your heart. Trials come to expose your heart. Spiritual growth comes by the experience of obedience. Denying yourself. The flesh wants you distracted. The circumstances are not the problem - you are the problem. The purpose of the trials is to purify you. The trials come to mature and strengthen us. Maturity comes by experience. The lifelong process of experience has a lot of failures with it. The word of God doesn't always make sense until you experience it. You'll never finish the race without the joy. God wants to find out what you'll hold back from Him. Pain strips away all pride. Find the Joy in Dying Pt.2 Find the Joy in Dying Pt.2 Date: July 17, 2005 Sun AM Teacher: Pastor Richard Miller Synopsis: The origin of your motives is you thought life. God is preoccupied with getting you to heaven. God will fight for the affections of your heart. Father wants to bring you to the place of obedience. You really don't believe in God until you're ready to die for Him. Children are willing to die for their dads. See the chastening as Father's endorsement on your life. You won't be able to finish the race without the joy. Set yourself apart to know Him. God takes you to the place of desperation. Obedience without death is just compliance. Anything that wants to maintain control of my life must die. Find the Joy in Dying Pt.3 Find the Joy in Dying Pt.3 Date: July 17, 2005 Sun PM Teacher: Pastor Richard Miller Synopsis: You can tell when someone's been in the presence of God by how deep a death they're willing to die. The chastening of the Lord is grievous. There are ties in your deepest joy that you will know your deepest sorrow. The problem is never a lack of power, but a lack of desire. The Lord brings every child of God down a path to the end of themselves. We don't always understand what we do. The chastening of the Lord is for a lifetime. Living in the Miraculous Pt.3 Living in the Miraculous Pt.3 Date: July 20, 2005 Wed PM Teacher: Pastor Star R. Scott Synopsis: Not spectacular events but the awareness of God's presence. Constant preparation and expectation of God's promises being evidenced in our lives. We're losing our power because of our trust in technology, medicine, and prosperity. You need to be greater in faith and power. God's people will always prosper regardless of the persecution. Daniel was preferred because of an excellent Spirit. They could find no occasion because Daniel was faithful. You're going to be required to change. Grace is God's enabling. It doesn't create character; it enhances character. Life in the supernatural is living separate from the world's kingdom. Don't mistake God loving you with God not needing you. We're losing our innocence as Christians. Daniel believed in his God. Living in the Miraculous Pt.4 Living in the Miraculous Pt.4 Date: July 24, 2005 Sun AM Teacher: Pastor Star R. Scott Synopsis: What we are is what you are. We live in a time and a generation that think too highly of ourselves. God uses the common man. The Holy Spirit insulates you from the world's wisdom and the world's system. One accord. One place. The purpose of being filled with the Holy Spirit is to be a witness. Living in the Miraculous Pt.5 Living in the Miraculous Pt.5 Date: July 24, 2005 Sun PM Teacher: Pastor Star R. Scott Synopsis: The promises of God are for all of us. Life is about His business. Simplicity of the Gospel. Always return to the gospel. We live in such abundance that we don't have to live by faith. Teaching our children to walk by faith and live by faith. Signs and Wonders. It's not enough to be regenerated; you need to be filled with the Holy Spirit. Save yourselves from the generation of the diluted church. Living in the Miraculous Pt.6 Living in the Miraculous Pt.6 Date: July 27, 2005 Wed PM Teacher: Pastor Star R. Scott Synopsis: The Word of God is the final authority in the Church. The Apostles' doctrine will cause us to stand in the last day. Don't make one another more important than the common cause of the pursuit of God. Our community and unity is based on the Lordship of Jesus and not a commitment to any man. We are baptized into the body of Christ. Your baptism (water) was paved by the blood of the saints. Baptism is an act of obedience and public recognition of being part of the body of Christ. Koinonea - this is what the church lived off of. Fellowship. The church gathered daily. Its going to be a community experience. We've replaced intimacy with information. Continue steadfastly. Fellowship around edification. We should always be experiencing the Spirit of commonness. Your little flock is not more important than the one next to you. In the body of Christ , everybody is your best friend. Living in the Miraculous Pt.7 Living in the Miraculous Pt.7 Date: July 31, 2005 Sun AM Teacher: Pastor Star R. Scott Synopsis: One heart one soul. Evidence of people who've been regenerated. It is sin for me to be ambitious for anything other than what God has called me to be in the body. If you're of one heart you're of one purse. Known not for what we possess but who possesses us. We don't do it for the good of the brother but for the glory of God. Don't love one another so much that you lose sight of who enabled you to do it. In the body of Christ our only right is to obey the Word of God. Don't try to put yourself off as more than you are. Living in the Miraculous Pt.8 Living in the Miraculous Pt.8 Date: July 31, 2005 Sun PM Teacher: Pastor Star R. Scott Synopsis: Coming of the Lord. Is it better to obey God or man? Begin to witness without His power and he will give you His power. One heart One soul. What's coming to us is suffering. The true Church has never been embraced by the world's system. Heroes. Great cloud of witnesses. Office of Deacon. Deacon's should only speak what the Pastors have told them to. Able men that fear God. Men of truth that hate covetousness. Not all deacons are created equally. Be thankful for the process not the person. It's not about personalities; its about the body. Leadership is only recognized by leadership. No double tongue.	August Living in the Miraculous Pt.9 Living in the Miraculous Pt.9 Date: August 3, 2005 Wed PM Teacher: Pastor Star R. Scott Synopsis: He gives the Holy Spirit to those that obey Him. Ananias and Sapphira were trying to live an image that wasn't real. You're endangering yourself by putting yourself off as something you're not. Our prayers are being answered; God's moving. It's not about personality and looks its about fulfilling God's purpose in your life. One heart One soul. One Spirit. One will. Let the Holy Ghost lead your kids lives. We're trying to raise up a generation to be totally sold out for God and then won't let them sell out. The Holy Ghost moves in light, order and truth. Stephen was full of faith and mighty power and he was martyred - not delivered in the will of God. We've got to do away with the fairy-tale-ending faith. We are not groups that are separate; we are one body. God got the gospel out through persecution. The more you empty yourself the more God will give you. Living in the Miraculous Pt.10 Living in the Miraculous Pt.10 Date: August 7, 2005 Sun AM Teacher: Pastor Star R. Scott Synopsis: We need a return to the biblical reality of the Supernatural. What makes something supernatural is that it's birthed in God. The supernatural is not always spectacular. Agenda free. You're here to prepare to serve. Guidance is not always a direct command. Nothing happens in our life by chance. If your heart is right, God will get you back on course. We need to believe God for the miraculous in our life. Where are our signs and wonders? The supernatural is something that follows us daily in our lives. Living in the Miraculous Pt.11 Living in the Miraculous Pt.11 Date: August 7, 2005 Sun PM Teacher: Pastor Star R. Scott Synopsis: We're not seeking a gift; we're seeking a presence. Infilling of the Holy Spirit. Jesus is your baptizer. He died for you to receive the promise. It's the heart of Father God for you to receive the promise. The one thing that stops most people is their mind. There isn't a method or formula. You'll be able to praise and worship in ways you've never known. Its about God super-enabling you to worship more. It's about the glory of God. Its not about your worthiness; its about God's goodness. Its not an intellectual thing; it's a Spirit thing. You're getting your head in the way. Everything we receive from God is by faith. Living in the Miraculous Pt.12 Living in the Miraculous Pt.12 Date: August 14, 2005 Sun AM Teacher: Pastor Star R. Scott Synopsis: God talks to you. Still small voice. One of the most Spiritual things you can do is listen to your parents. Confirm what you hear. We encounter angels unaware. Even in the Bible every day wasn't spectacular. The promise leads us. Be used where you are. Through persecution they were driven into circumstances. It doesn't happen the same way all the time. The key ingredient is obedience. Many times true faith looks reckless. We can't equate the guidance with the consequence. God will let you where He wants you. The fact that you've been informed doesn't mean you've been called. Phillip's transportation. Saul's conversion. Not everyone is going to hear what you're hearing. When God begins to speak and guide both sides are hearing it. Are you answering to God or is He answering to you? Panel Discussion Panel Discussion Date: August 14, 2005 Sun PM Teacher: Pastoral Staff Synopsis: The "worship experience." The walk in the Spirit takes work. The flesh's natural tendency is to have God respond to us according to our worship. There won't always be a sovereign move corporately, but we can still experience the presence of God. Prophets were sent by elders and told what to say. Living in the Miraculous Pt.13 Living in the Miraculous Pt.13 Date: August 17, 2005 Wed PM Teacher: Pastor Star R. Scott Synopsis: You can never be the same when you give up Lordship of your life. Radically changed. A heart willing to do what you're told. One of the most important aspects of guidance is to respond by waiting. Wait until you've heard go. Wait for further clarification. There are degrees of intensity and then God brings us to places of rest. We need to believe for the immediate power. What is has been ordained. God is sovereign. Where we find ourselves, God has placed us. We need to be moved by faith. Specific guidance will manifest itself. If God is going to minister to us as a church we need to put down our individual preferences. God is no respecter of persons. Even As Pt.1 Even As Pt.1 Date: August 21, 2005 Sun AM Teacher: Pastor Star R. Scott Synopsis: We're vexed by our prosperity; we're weak in faith. Do you have sufficient power to forgive? What could I not forgive? First response of the man being attacked is preservation. We can either become bitter or imbibe the spirit of Stephen. The only thing God cannot forgive is unforgiveness. The thought coming back is not sin; its if you empower it. If it influences your direction you haven't forgiven. The church doesn't understand forgiveness. We forgive in direct proportion to our knowledge of how we've been forgiven. Aphiemi - to send away. Father doesn't love you any more on the good day than on the bad day. The only way to bring your sin back to remembrance is to not forgive others. The standard is Even As. Don't ask for justice; we need mercy. What we are habitually is what we will do eventually. Even As Pt.2 Even As Pt.2 Date: August 21, 2005 Sun PM Teacher: Pastor Star R. Scott Synopsis: Love is the ability to not keep score. Love allows us to be able to pursue the habitual seeking of good for the others, the emptying of ourselves to build the body of Christ and to represent His lordship properly. Aphiemi means to send away, to remit, as we shared this morning, to dismiss or to release from all responsibility and guilt. Let it go. By refusing to release that and remain in unforgiveness you are continuing to inflict pain upon Jesus, and it will ultimately result in your own destruction. Forgive because it honors Jesus. It's not about you. There are some sins for which retribution cannot be made. The one unforgivable sin is unforgiveness. The moment that we begin to retain another's sins, ours are brought back to recognition and placed back to our account. Even As Pt.3 Even As Pt.3 Date: August 24, 2005 Wed PM Teacher: Pastor Star R. Scott Synopsis: Many times the Word of God requires restitution to make things right. There is never the ability to be free until you have forgiven and you have been forgiven. What makes an individual an enemy is not how they relate to us, but how they relate to our Father. Until we understand that we are forgiven, we can't forgive; and until we forgive, we can't be forgiven. Forgiveness is all about putting the proper worth on the blood of Jesus. There are things that can be forgiven, which don't have to be reproved. It requires an encounter; it requires repentance; and that requires forgiveness. The person can't be forgiven until he repents. The pattern is: there has to be the repentance, then the healing. You haven't come to grips with the love of your Father for you. You're still relating to God on a merit basis. You can't believe that He can love you as you are. When you come to that realization, then you can love everybody else around you. There's never a liberty to go and seek forgiveness, reconciliation, until you've first been reconciled back to Father, because you need to understand that no offense you commit is toward man alone; it's always toward God. The Power of Words The Power of Words Date: August 28, 2005 Sun AM Teacher: Pastor Jeff Heglund Synopsis: Power of Words. You can't put a big enough watch on your mouth. What are you filling yourself with? Are you complaining? Preoccupation with yourself. If left to ourselves, all we have to give is the works of the flesh. The power of the Word of God is in our kids and its working so don't lose heart. We get into trouble by talking too much. Carefulness to not have to express everything in our minds. Be careful to not attribute motives to other people's actions. Protecting friendships by slander and gossip. We're not always careful with who is in the room when we talk. Our flesh loves gossip. Talebearers. We should never share anything that brings someone in a bad light. Don't meddle in strife belonging to other people. Are we still judging people for who they used to be? Living in the Miraculous Pt.14 Living in the Miraculous Pt.14 Date: August 28, 2005 Sun PM Teacher: Pastor Star R. Scott Synopsis: Outpouring of the Holy Spirit. Witness. There is always the doctrinal stability of the oversight of the church. The spirit of Barnabas. Bringing Paul to Antioch. When God begins to manifest His presence you begin to get weird stuff. Prophets of God. Prophets were sent by elders and told what to say. Rest in the sovereignty of God and our steps being ordered of Him. Don't believe in the greatness of your prayer, believe in the greatness of your God. Your prayers will dispatch the angels of God on behalf of your brothers and sisters. Living in the Miraculous Pt.15 Living in the Miraculous Pt.15 Date: August 31, 2005 Wed PM Teacher: Pastor Star R. Scott Synopsis: God is for us and no one can be against us. We are constantly being opposed. Give me the grace to embrace the cross. What is coming on us you're not going to see coming. They would kill us now if they could get away with it. God will answer our prayers even when we don't really believe it because we're praying out of obedience. We need to resolve ourselves to the sovereignty of God. How do you respond to the moment? Are you expecting the unexpected? The angels are always there. The supernatural is occurring all around us and we're not aware of it. God has and will fight for us. When the world least expects it, God will do a miracle. Everything we believe is in direct proportion to what God has revealed to you. Faith is the assurance in the person of God. Faith isn't always going against natural wisdom.
September Living in the Miraculous Pt.16 Living in the Miraculous Pt.16 Date: September 4, 2005 Sun AM Teacher: Pastor Star R. Scott Synopsis: God doesn't need superstars to affect His purposes. The ministry is the job of the people. Supernatural. Orderly. Careful. If God said it, it will be confirmed by your counselors. Much of the guidance comes from the set gifts. You're better off missing God on a specific issue than a divine principle. As they ministered to the Lord, God speaks in the atmosphere of worship. Fasting is emphasizing the presence of God over the temporal part of life. You need to be sent. The 21st century church has become a political entity. Representation with the authority of God. Conflict of Kingdoms. Outreach Testimonies Outreach Testimonies Date: September 4, 2005 Sun PM Teacher: Pastoral Staff Synopsis: Testimonies of David's trip to Africa. Guidance almost always unfolds. Living in the Miraculous Pt.17 Living in the Miraculous Pt.17 Date: September 7, 2005 Wed PM Teacher: Pastor Star R. Scott Synopsis: The manifestation of the gifts of the Spirit should be the same today or more than they were then. Where is the power of God? Where are the signs and the wonders that so obviously accompanied the church? Don't be afraid to contend for the faith and for the truth. If He's Lord, then you don't have any business trying to govern your own life. How in love are we with the lost souls of our day? God is not willing that any should perish. What are you doing dying? You want to be filled with the Holy Ghost? Empty yourself in sharing the gospel and God will fill you back up. You will be accepted of the world and you will ultimately be overcome and destroyed by them if you don't preach this gospel and make it very clear whose side you're on. Living in the Miraculous Pt.18 Living in the Miraculous Pt.18 Date: September 11, 2005 Sun AM Teacher: Pastor Star R. Scott Synopsis: The good choices you're making are miraculous. The prominent people brought about persecution. Every time there is a move of God - revival, persecution follows. To go beyond the moment of shaking the dust off your feet is to compromise the gospel. The joy comes from obedience. Empty yourself so you have to be filled again. Pour your life out for the kingdom. We've lost the simplicity of the power of God. We have enough entertainment. We must speak the truth boldly. Are you expecting the power of God to rise up in you? Don't limit the power of your testimony. Be truthful with where you are. A thousand people left during the last mighty move of God. When you're asking for two times the miracles you're asking for two times the trials. Living in the Miraculous Pt.19 Living in the Miraculous Pt.19 Date: September 11, 2005 Sun PM Teacher: Pastor Star R. Scott Synopsis: If brought on trial today, could you be convicted of being a Christian? The best decision is the eternal decision, and the temporal will all be accomplished for the glory of God. You don't work up to it; you're just available. You don't just run around praying for everybody. You're sensing, looking for these things. You're waiting. If you ever think it's you, you're in trouble. Don't get out there doing your own thing. Let God use you. What are you bringing under in the secular so you might pursue and prepare for the eternal? Living in the Miraculous Pt.20 Living in the Miraculous Pt.20 Date: September 14, 2005 Wed PM Teacher: Pastor Star R. Scott Synopsis: The church is on the offensive; we don't make apologies for who we are and what we proclaim. We have a cross, each one of us, to identify with, and it's the cross of Jesus. We all have the same cross, and that's the embracing of death to self-will. One of the toughest things to do is to commend these things to the Lord, and yet they're never in safer hands than when our hands are off of it. Many of us don't fulfill what God's called us to do. Don't be afraid to speak the truth. Seduction, in so much of the church today, has to do with acceptance of the social order. There is too much America in the church and not enough church in America. The law is for those who are not walking in the Spirit When somebody stands and reminds you of what the doctrine is, do it! Edification, exhortation, comfort; that's what prophecy's about. The way to recognize a false prophet is somebody who's out of order and out from under authority. Living in the Miraculous Pt.21 Living in the Miraculous Pt.21 Date: September 18, 2005 Sun AM Teacher: Pastor Star R. Scott Synopsis: Is our life wholly being poured out for the Lord? The one hope for us to live is to die. You can't have the determination of Paul and not receive persecution for it. If you build a reputation for yourself its not easy to get rid of . The more preeminent Paul became the more humble he became. When you think you're something you're probably not. When you are somebody you don't have to put yourself off as somebody. Sanctified intellect. We make direction and God orders our steps. God has strategies that we're not aware of. Don't ever go against the inner witness even if it seems right. Living in the Miraculous Pt.22 Living in the Miraculous Pt.22 Date: September 18, 2005 Sun PM Teacher: Pastor Star R. Scott Synopsis: Doctrine of spiritual authority. Do the hosts of darkness know who you are? We're easy on ourselves and its offensive to the great cloud of witnesses. When was the last time you went against your flesh? Who does your fruit say you are? Have you turned the world upside down or has it turned you upside down? Living in the Miraculous Pt.23 Living in the Miraculous Pt.23 Date: September 21, 2005 Wed PM Teacher: Pastor Star R. Scott Synopsis: Nobel Bereans. We're not Americans; we're Christians who live in America. Evangelism should be the most natural thing we do; keeping the people we reach is the most important. What do you believe? Emphasize our doctrine. Some of us have been free for so long we forgot what it means to be bound. The man with an experience is never at the mercy of a man with an argument. Living in the Miraculous Pt.24 Living in the Miraculous Pt.24 Date: September 25, 2005 Sun AM Teacher: Pastor Star R. Scott Synopsis: Baptism is a public profession of an inward work you are assured of. Initial, physical evidence of Baptism in Holy Spirit is tongues. Don't seek the evidence; seek the presence. Paul used whatever vehicle was possible to propagate the gospel. God worked special miracles through Paul. Reality of signs and wonders. Charlatans. The central message should not be the miracles. Even though there are charlatans, miracles are still real. Human nature overreacts to immediate circumstances. Name of Jesus magnified. What are you in secret? That's who you are. Redirection in your actions. What are you holding on to that you need to get rid of? Sin is sin - but worldliness is different today. Living in the Miaculous Pt.25 Living in the Miaculous Pt.25 Date: September 25, 2005 Sun PM Teacher: Pastor Star R. Scott Synopsis: The love of money is the root of all evil. Why do you feel that it's necessary to try to defend God? You don't have to protect your God; he protects you. We don't have anything to prove. We know what's coming. False prophets. What do you believe? Let's not worry about how comfortable we are but pursue God's best. Have you been able to commend your family to God or are you still trying to be the answer. Everything that is absolute truth seems illogical to the natural mind. Don't put confidence in your perception; put confidence in the sovereignty of God. We can't withhold those things that are profitable from those around us. Speak the truth in love. Our standard of believer is a little different than other Christian's standards. Everything external (in your mate) can change. You still have a list. Devoted to Helping Devoted to Helping Date: September 28, 2005 Wed PM Teacher: Pastor Chuck LaRock Synopsis: Grace - One source of getting help from God is through the body. God ordained you to be who you are. Being important in the body. Find joy in what God desires and not your will. Why do you want to be something God has not called you to be? God made the body to promote unity. You're causing division if you're independent and self sufficient. Suffering of others. Comfort - to call to one side. Encourage.	October Hostile Toward God Hostile Toward God Date: October 2, 2005 Sun AM Teacher: Pastor Chuck LaRock Synopsis: The world's system hates God. The number one goal of the world system is to oppose God. They have no capacity to blush anymore. They live and breathe to promote and exalt self. Loving God is serious. The world takes delight in what Jesus opposes. Do not love the world is a command. The world worships self. Loving God is doing His will. Loving God as a devoted lover. Saving faith will cause you to love God more and more. God's commandments should not be a burden if we love Him. We count it all joy by faith. Remain Faithful Remain Faithful Date: October 2, 2005 Sun PM Teacher: Pastor Steve Gardner Synopsis: What the cross truly means. What the world has and what they don't have. Jesus victory on the cross was His. My only victory is to walk with Him. You can't have the presence of God without the cross. Apart from Jesus there is no good thing. Without God death to self is impossible. You're waiting for God to do something and God is waiting for us to do something. When you're not born again you know that you are empty and without hope. Once you are born again what is there to go back to? This life is too easy. There is life in death. Panel Discussion Panel Discussion Date: October 5, 2005 Wed PM Teacher: Pastoral Staff Synopsis: Are you ready for the fight? The enemy is trying to take away the one accord. Spirit of the age is worldliness. The world is what God isn't. Spirit of independence. Are we embracing our independence or pursuing the cross to die to self. By the value you place on it. Its not about position or possession; its about motive. We're being inundated by the world's ideology. What are we doing to protect ourselves? Idols today are material wealth, celebrity, education, neighborhood. Snare - you don't see it. You're not safe if you're breaking the laws. Are we offering up innocent blood to hold on to our idols? Lack of accountability. We're losing our innocence. What's your conscience like today? Home is where dad is. You can be forgiven of sin but you can not restore innocence. The world's system is finding satisfaction in other than God. We don't have the same standard at home as we do in here. Have your liberty to yourself. Don't be nai. Isolation through email and text messaging. Internet. Secular music. The Law is Good Pt.1 The Law is Good Pt.1 Date: October 7, 2005 Fri PM Teacher: Pastor Star R. Scott Synopsis: We're walking outside of the power of God to sustain us. The key to the law is that it must be used lawfully. Your conscience is only as pure as your submission to the law. Maturity is the proper use of temperance. Temperance is a life controlled by the law. The law is to keep our flesh under control. The mature man knows he can't be trusted. We don't trust the law for merit; it's for maturation. The law will always point you to Jesus. Its not lawful to stir the opposite sex when you can't do anything about it. Music is the primary offense right now. Whatever it is that robs the Lordship of Jesus has to be brought back to temperance. Effeminate - lover of a soft life. You are not your own. Maturity is a life of making right decisions. Modesty. Gambling. The Law is Good Pt.2 The Law is Good Pt.2 Date: October 9, 2005 Sun AM Teacher: Pastor Star R. Scott Synopsis: God has honored us by letting us be His last generation. The church was birthed on the outpouring of the Holy Spirit. One heart - one mind. God purged out what didn't belong. We are a people unique, separate, holy. We are the Corinthian Church. Boasting in their spirituality while there was sin in their midst. The biggest problem we're facing right now is an improper application of the law. Maturity is the proper use of temperance. A conscience not guided by the law is not conscience. Secret power of lawlessness. A mature man is one that is fulfilling the law. The law is good. There is no greater knowledge than in the goodness of God. Moral law. The law is not legalism. The law is for the lawless. The lawless are those who want to use their liberty as an occasion to the flesh. Our liberty is to keep the law. There are moral guidelines that are binding. The law points us to Jesus. The law shows us what sin is. Where is the jealousy for the glory of God. The will of God is sanctification. Abstain from fornication. Fornication is the illicit stirring of passion beyond biblical guidelines of the marriage covenant. Fornication can't be entertainment. The Law is Good Pt.3 The Law is Good Pt.3 Date: October 9, 2005 Sun PM Teacher: Pastor Star R. Scott Synopsis: Liberty is found in the law. Gnosticism. Fornication - pornea. Jesus fulfilled the law and took it to another level. The Kingdom we live in is pure. Illicit sexual relations. To look and to lust - it doesn't have to be the act. A little leaven. Do not company with fornicators. Judge them that are within. There are amoral things we do in our lives. They become immoral when they have power over us. When they become dominant its idolatry. To embrace the world's system is to join Christ to a harlot. If you're dressing to entice, you're committing fornication. Wives have a job to seduce their husbands. Effeminate - of soft raiment. The soft life - pursuit of party spirit. What are you doing with all your spare time? Antichrist's agenda is to separate us from God. If you're living in Sodom you're going to be vexed. Parents need to take back liberties. The Law is Good Pt.4 The Law is Good Pt.4 Date: October 12, 2005 Wed PM Teacher: Pastor Star R. Scott Synopsis: Purge out leaven. God's glory has been stolen. People have been finding satisfaction in stolen waters. Without the law there is no knowledge of sin. Run to obtain. Maturity is the proper use of temperance. Disciplined, consistent, faithful. Habitually makes right decisions. What is my life consisting of? Mature man comes to grips with his dependence on God. If we're living other than to glorify God we are double minded. Sin of Sodom was pride, fullness of bread and abundance of idleness. What you deserve doesn't have to do with worth, but character, experience and what God deems to give to you. We think we deserve so we have no appreciation. If you don't forsake all and follow Jesus you don't deserve Jesus. You don't deserve the benefits and rights if you haven't been through the process. Abstinence is a means to temperance. What have you walked away from to obtain Christ? Because we can - we do - but should we? We've overvalued our abilities. Demons are assigned to every one of us. Temperate in everything. Temperance is the consequence of death to self. The Law is Good Pt.5 The Law is Good Pt.5 Date: October 16, 2005 Sun AM Teacher: Pastor Star R. Scott Synopsis: Holiness means God is separate. He stands alone; there's none like Him. He's not the best of many; He is exclusive, distinct, unique. Relationship gives no place for commonness. You're here for a purpose; and it's not to squander eighty years on yourself. Fearing God is your purpose for being. The law is the schoolmaster; the adult always appreciates the schoolmaster, the adolescent never does. The law is a mirror. Maturity is the proper, habitual use of temperance, a life of making right choices and being under the control of the Spirit of God. The mature are those who are sober. To abstain and trust in it is pride. The proper use of temperance is a means to the glory of God. Everything this world has to offer will be offered up by a man who really encounters the presence of God. You've got the doctrine, but you've never had the passion. You will not be the best in the world without paying a price; it's going to cost you something. Temperance is saying no to everything that would not help us reach our goal. The Law is Good Pt.6 The Law is Good Pt.6 Date: October 16, 2005 Sun PM Teacher: Pastor Star R. Scott Synopsis: If you're going to finish this race successfully, you can't allow anything in the other kingdom to dominate your life. The consequences are unthinkable of defecting from this kingdom that we're in. Why aren't you in love with God? What's the pearl of great price in your life? When you've seen it you'll forsake everything else. It's not about should I or shouldn't I; It's about where's the value, then all that other stuff falls into place. Temperance comes from abstinence. Every decision is a test, it's a proving. Denying yourself is talking about forfeiting lordship. You're not your own, you're bought with a price. Deny your right to make choices outside of His commandments. You don't know who you are until you're given liberty. Then you'll find out who you are by the decisions you make. Panel Discussion Panel Discussion Date: October 19, 2005 Wed PM Teacher: Pastoral Staff Synopsis: Review of the Law is Good Series. The First Commandment The First Commandment Date: October 23, 2005 Sun AM Teacher: Pastor Chuck LaRock This is Why I Love God This is Why I Love God Date: October 23, 2005 Sun PM Teacher: Pastor Chuck LaRock Jesus Brings Change Pt.1 Jesus Brings Change Pt.1 Date: October 26, 2005 Wed PM Teacher: Pastor Steve Gardner Synopsis: When you yield - you change. Rich, young ruler - encountered Jesus but had no change. Zaccheus. What humiliation are you willing to suffer to see Jesus? Encountered Jesus and was yielded and changed. Restored 4 times to those he cheated. Worship: The Joy of Heaven Pt.1 Worship: The Joy of Heaven Pt.1 Date: October 30, 2005 Sun AM Teacher: Pastor Jeff Heglund Synopsis: We can't worship because there is no relationship. Worship is the expression of our life. Heaven is a place where we worship God forever. Worship requires all of your life. Without the impartation of the Holy Spirit, worship is impossible. God only accepts worship that begins in Him. Worship is to involve our emotions. Worship is the outward expression of our love relationship. People who are worshippers are humble. Fearing God is a choice; you have to cultivate it. His presence will cause fear in you. You can worship in vain. Everything we do is to be worship. Worship: The Joy of Heaven Pt.2 Worship: The Joy of Heaven Pt.2 Date: October 30, 2005 Sun PM Teacher: Pastor Jeff Heglund Synopsis: Fighting the transfer of our affection on a daily basis. If there's anything in us that does not worship then nothing in us worships acceptably. Our worship reflects our understanding of God. Every trial in our life is there because He loves us. God is most pleased when we run to Him. When you are a worshipper every part of your life becomes great joy. What you do from the heart is who you are. High calling of being stay at home moms. You can't substitute busyness in the kingdom for worship. God doesn't understand when we worship other things. We were created to worship; we're all worshipping something.
November Jesus Brings Change Pt.2 Jesus Brings Change Pt.2 Date: November 2, 2005 Wed PM Teacher: Pastor Steve Gardner Synopsis: You're not going to persuade your children to be believers. Live the gospel. It's the Holy Spirit's job to persuade them. Awake Thou That Sleepest Awake Thou That Sleepest Date: November 6, 2005 Sun AM Teacher: Pastor Jeff Heglund Synopsis: Spiritual sleep is where you're religious but there's no power. Eventually you won't just be asleep, you'll be dead. We allow what we shouldn't allow. People sleep because they're not really born again. They're deceived. Lack of fear. Adoration. Fascinate. We're fascinated by the wrong things. Childish belief that time is going to make us better. Unexamined life. We refuse to challenge the status quo. Making a decision causes us to wake up. Prayer and church because you have to. Being a workaholic. You'll always be miserable when you're only giving part way. You can't be there for your friends and family because you're in your own little world. Other people suffer when you're asleep. How do we wake up. Born again. Is your whole life really God's? Fully surrendered. Deal thoroughly with the sin in your life. Just obey. You'll only be awake when God manifests himself to you - and that won't happen unless you obey. Cultivate your fascination with the Lord. People who are asleep avoid the light. Not Too Difficult: Not Out of Reach Not Too Difficult: Not Out of Reach Date: November 6, 2005 Sun PM Teacher: Pastor Chuck LaRock Synopsis: We have ups and downs, but the ups should be higher as time goes on. To do God's word says that we trust Him. To not is to say that we don't. God is appalled when He sees that we don't trust Him. We declare by the way we live that we honor or dishonor God. God is Good Pt.1 God is Good Pt.1 Date: November 9, 2005 Wed PM Teacher: Pastor Star R. Scott Synopsis: We believe God is not good by our actions. We demand our independence and God demands absolute surrender. Lack of knowing God. Instead of being caught up with how you look in the mirror, how about being caught up with how you look to God. Goodness of God. God traded Jesus straight across for you. Goodness is not tolerance. Goodness is grace and mercy. Our independence keeps us blinded to God's goodness. Daily embrace the cross. You're an adult when you finally realize the worth of your father. Habits are not broken by decisions; they're broken by new habits. God's will makes you happy. When you seek the kingdom, nothing needed in life is absent. God is Good Pt.2 God is Good Pt.2 Date: November 13, 2005 Sun AM Teacher: Pastor Star R. Scott Panel Discussion Panel Discussion Date: November 13, 2005 Sun PM Teacher: Pastoral Staff Synopsis: Satellite Pastors Report on their churches. God is Good Pt.3 God is Good Pt.3 Date: November 16, 2005 Wed PM Teacher: Pastor Star R. Scott Synopsis: Power of independence, pride, illicit ambition, and selfishness. These distractions that cause us to pursue other than the presence of God are because we really don't believe God is good and that He has our good intentions at heart. What God originates is good because God is good. The source of our prejudice is not the worth or the character of the other individual, but the lack of character on our part. God's way is best. The man is blessed that trusts in Him. How God manifests His goodness is based upon His justice, His sovereignty, His wisdom, and His eternal purposes, or what we would call the determinate counsel of God. Happiness isn't controlled by circumstances; happiness is knowing that God is your Lord. When you know that God is good, there is no fear. Why would you try to fight your own battles, gain your own wealth, and set your own course, when God has already determined from before the foundations of the world what's best for you? The goodness of God leads us to repentance. God is Good Pt.4 God is Good Pt.4 Date: November 20, 2005 Sun AM Teacher: Pastor Star R. Scott Africa Mission 2005 Africa Mission 2005 Date: November 20, 2005 Sun PM Teacher: Pastor Tony Wozniak Synopsis: Update on Work in Africa. Thank God He's Good Thank God He's Good Date: November 23, 2005 Wed PM Teacher: Pastoral Staff Synopsis: Pre-Thanksgiving testimonies. God is Good Pt.5 God is Good Pt.5 Date: November 27, 2005 Sun AM Teacher: Pastor Star R. Scott Synopsis: Your natural members are full of lust. What is it you don't have that you have to have. A lot of what natural man calls wisdom is fear. Take no thought for tomorrow. My Father knows what I have need of. God is Good Pt.6 God is Good Pt.6 Date: November 27, 2005 Sun PM Teacher: Pastor Star R. Scott Synopsis: Contentment is rejoicing in what God has - not settling. The amount we accumulate shows our capacity to live without God. Its all about independence. Money answers all things. Don't spend your time talking about the stuff - spend it talking about the God who gave it. Don't trust in riches. Bearing Precious Seed Bearing Precious Seed Date: November 30, 2005 Wed PM Teacher: Pastor Star R. Scott Synopsis: God's been patient with us. God's desire for the lost. We'll have a greater response to evangelism if we just share God's goodness to us and not so much doctrine. Bearing precious seed - testimony of Word of God. If you want to touch the heart of Jesus, reach a soul for Him.	December Riches and Honor Riches and Honor Date: December 4, 2005 Sun AM Teacher: Pastor Star R. Scott Synopsis: Trust in the Lord with all your heart. Know the difference between your perception and truth. Your greatest treasure is doing things God's way. God's methods are always on the ground floor. You're always in a place of God being able to prosper you. God is the source of all our prosperity. Give in faith. Give as unto the Lord. Africa Missions 2005 Video Africa Missions 2005 Video Date: December 4, 2005 Sun PM Teacher: Pastoral Staff Synopsis: No notes - video Not Ashamed of the Gospel Not Ashamed of the Gospel Date: December 7, 2005 Wed PM Teacher: Pastor Star R. Scott Synopsis: Are you as excited about Jerusalem as you are about Kenya? We need to be touched where God has placed us. There's never any glamour in the familiar. When Jesus has changed your life you have to tell someone. Its not our responsibility to win everybody - its our responsibility to tell them. Emmanuel Emmanuel Date: December 11, 2005 Sun AM Teacher: Pastor Star R. Scott Synopsis: The knowledge of God is in everyone. The stronger they deny - the greater they believe. His lordship will cause you to live victoriously. Not tolerant of anything that opposes the kingdom of Light and Jesus' Lordship. We're at war, in a conflict of kingdoms. This gospel will offend everyone who doesn't bow their knee. There is no peace outside of the kingdom of God. Have you lost your first love? What value do we place on the gift. 2500 prophecies in the scriptures. 2000 have been fulfilled. 68 major prophecies about Jesus. He fulfilled them all. Don't put your confidence in any argument. No apologies for your kid not believing in Santa Claus. Society wants to make Santa Claus omnipotent. Go Ye, But Not You Go Ye, But Not You Date: December 11, 2005 Sun PM Teacher: Pastor Star R. Scott Good News Armor Pt.1 Good News Armor Pt.1 Date: December 14, 2005 Wed PM Teacher: Pastor Star R. Scott Synopsis: Consequences of being a witness. Good News. We're going to be hated - but you don't have to be afraid. The world hates the Jesus that's in us. We are always on the offence. Any time we embrace their kingdom we're being vexed. You that make mention of the Lord - keep not silent. Sanctify - set apart - make unique. Spiritual Weaponry Spiritual Weaponry Date: December 18, 2005 Sun AM Teacher: Pastor Star R. Scott Synopsis: Perfecting our spiritual weaponry. Your enemies will be of your own household. Underlying power of kingdom of darkness. Pharisees. Being ashamed of the name of Jesus is being ashamed to take the consequences of his name. We choose our name over His. The gates are emblematic about authority. Christmas Program Christmas Program Date: December 18, 2005 Sun PM Teacher: Children's Ministry Synopsis: No notes Good News Armor Pt.2 Good News Armor Pt.2 Date: December 21, 2005 Wed PM Teacher: Pastor Star R. Scott Light of the World Light of the World Date: December 25, 2005 Sun AM Teacher: Pastor Star R. Scott Synopsis: Some people have never heard who Jesus is. Christmas was an invasion. Christmas is about war where God came and drove back the powers of darkness. Few is relative to what people think. One of the greatest things needed in the church today is revelation. Christmas didn't change Jesus; it changed you. What holds most Christians in bondage and the greatest enemy of the Church is the knowledge of good. Panel Discussion Panel Discussion Date: December 25, 2005 Sun PM Teacher: Pastoral Staff Synopsis: Africa news. If you do anything less than the Word of God you lose. Come and See Come and See Date: December 28, 2005 Wed PM Teacher: Pastor Star R. Scott Synopsis: If you don't oppose it, it will overcome you. Most effective form of evangelism is one on one. Missions begins in your home. We are not seeing conversions because we're presenting a cheap gospel. Do we have compassion for souls or are we doing it out of obligation. Every day we're to take up the cross. We will be infused with a passion for the lost. You live different than everybody else when you live in the presence of God. Don't ever be afraid to be excited in your profession of Jesus.
