Think On These Things
Date: January 4, 2009 Sun AM

That The Work Would Not Be Hindered
Date: January 4, 2009 Sun PM
Teacher: Pastor Tony Wozniak

The Spirit Of Truth Pt.1
The Spirit Of Truth Pt.1
Date: January 7, 2009 Wed PM
Teacher: Pastor Star R. Scott
Synopsis: Without the super-charge of the Holy Spirit continually illuminating us in these last days, we WILL believe the lies of the enemy. We can't overcome the vexation of this world with a little bit of Bible reading and a few hours of Word a week. We will be overcome by sin without the power of the Holy Spirit. We need to have humility, quietness and total surrender in order for the Holy Spirit to work in us.
Key Verses:
John 14:1-21
Nehemiah 13:23,24

Date: January 11, 2009 Sun AM
Teacher: Pastor Star R. Scott
Synopsis: In the midst of today's spiritual onslaught, the Holy Spirit is our supercharger, enabling Christians to pursue the Lord more than naturally possible. If you are FULL of the Spirit you will be WALKING in the Spirit, exhibit the FRUIT of the Spirit, and walk out the GIFTS of the Spirit.

Revelation 2:2-5, 1 Timothy 4:1-2, 2 Timothy 3:1-17

The Spirit Of Truth Pt.3
The Spirit Of Truth Pt.3
Date: January 14, 2009 Wed PM
Teacher: Pastor Star R. Scott
Synopsis: There is only normative Christianity, anything less is NOT Christianity. We need to get out of the way so that God can clean up His church... us included. If the Holy Spirit, the Voice of Truth, is in you, He will be praying through you and will confirm what is truth and what is a lie.
Key Verses:
Titus 3:5, Titus 2:1-13, John 15:3, Ephesians 5:25

The Vine And The Branches Pt.1
Date: January 18, 2009 Sun AM
Teacher: Pastor Star R. Scott

-
The Biblical Pattern
The Biblical Pattern
Date: January 18, 2009 Sun PM
Teacher: Pastor Ron Zarou
Synopsis: Unless a Christian is teachable and strives to enter the Kingdom, he will be deceived, drawn away by the spirit of lawlessness. He must live with an awareness that he's going to give an account for every idle word.
Key Verses:
2 Thessalonians 2:7, 9-10
-
The Vine And The Branches Pt.2
The Vine And The Branches Pt.2
Date: January 21, 2009 Wed PM
Teacher: Pastor Star R. Scott
Synopsis: Church leadership is placed by God, and needs to be viewed as God speaking to us as believers, not viewed as suggestions. Regeneration, being hooked into the vine, bears good fruit. Check the fruit in your life first, and then you can judge others' righteously. The truest fruit in our lives is shown by our daily choices in what we have been called to be as individuals - i.e. husbands, wives, children, friends.
Key Verses:
Matthew 7:17-29, John 15:5, Psalms 1:1-3
-
Purity In Relationships Pt.1
Purity In Relationships Pt.1
Date: January 25, 2009 Sun AM
Teacher: Pastor Jeff Heglund
Synopsis: God's desire is for us to be married so that together we may put 10,000 to flight. We get married not for ourselves, but to make the Body of Christ stronger. Pursue God first and not a spouse, and you will find the perfect spouse God has for you because they will be pursuing God like you!
Key Verses:
1 Timothy 5:1-2, 1 Corinthians 6:13,19-20, 1 Corinthians 7:1-2
-
Purity In Relationships Pt.2
Purity In Relationships Pt.2
Date: January 25, 2009 Sun PM

Are You Serious?
Are You Serious?
Date: January 28, 2009 Wed PM
Teacher: Pastor Jon Miller
Synopsis: It all began with God and His divine purpose, which is for us to live lives free of sin; we as Christians need to get with God's program. There is no such thing as a "small" sin in God's eyes. It is necessary to do what it takes to purge sin out of your life and those around you because when there is a "wedge of gold" you won't be able to stand up against the enemy.
Key Verses:
Genesis 1:1, Genesis 3:1-24, Joshua 6:1-4,15-22, Joshua 7:1-26

Sound Doctrine
Sound Doctrine
Date: February 4, 2009 Wed PM
Teacher: Pastor Les Stone
Synopsis: Be careful when you start to feel "led" to stray from the sound doctrine of the Word of God that has been taught to you by God's annointed. Endure sound doctrine, which leads us to Godliness. Search the scriptures for yourself that you may be as noble as the Bereans; who sought affirmation for what they were being taught, not to challenge or undermine.
Key Verse:
2 Timothy 4:1-4, Exodus 24:3, Hebrews 4:1-2, Numbers 16:1-7, Acts 17:10-11

The Vine And The Branches Pt.3
The Vine And The Branches Pt.3
Date: February 8, 2009 Sun AM
Teacher: Pastor Star R. Scott
Synopsis: Knowledge of God without an intimate relationship with Him is not enough to stand in the Last Days. Due to the love of self, many Christians run from the final act of chastening and pruning, when it would have brought death and fruit. If you are having trouble loving your brother, you need to be regenerated or return to your first love.
Key Verses:
2 Timothy 3:1-2, Revelation 2:1-5, John 15:1-2,8-13,16, Philippians 1:11, Colossians 1:10, 1 John 4:6-7
-
The Vine And The Branches Pt.4
The Vine And The Branches Pt.4
Date: February 8, 2009 Sun PM
Teacher: Pastor Star R. Scott
Synopsis: We need each other in the Body of Christ to finish the race. We don't have the right to do whatever we want in the Kingdom of God. If a "brother/sister" will walk out on you, they will walk out on Jesus; because how can one love Jesus whom they have seen, when they can't love their brother whom they have.
Key Verses:
John 15:13, 1 John 4:1-21
-
On This Rock Pt.1
On This Rock Pt.1
Date: February 11, 2009 Wed PM
Teacher: Pastor Star R. Scott
Synopsis: We have the "right" to do things, but we never can rebel against order. Truly being a member of the church means that you submit yourself to its authority which is subject to the Word of God.
Key Verses:
Matthew 16:15-19
Matthew 18:15-20
-
On This Rock Pt.2
On This Rock Pt.2
Date: February 15, 2009 Sun AM
Teacher: Pastor Star R. Scott
Synopsis: Spiritual authority does not require your endorsement in order for it to be of God. The Spirit of God will never "lead" you to a lower place spiritually, it will only lead you to a deeper and closer knit relationship with its members.
Key Verses:
1 Thessalonians 5:12-14, 1 Timothy 5:17, 1 Peter 5:1-2
-
Double Honor
Double Honor
Date: February 18, 2009 Wed PM
Teacher: Pastor Tony Wozniak
Synopsis: To honor something is to esteem it of the highest degree and to hold it in great value. Do we truly "honor" those who God has placed over us or do we despise and profane them? How dare we not honor and recognize who the Lord has set apart, and placed as our spiritual covering!
Key Verses:
1 Timothy 5:17, Mark 6:1-4, 1 Corinthians 2:5, 1 Samuel 25:3, 28-31, Jude 8, Isaiah 30:1, Galatians 4:15, Matthew 11:6, Numbers 12:1-2
-
On This Rock Pt.3
On This Rock Pt.3
Date: February 22, 2009 Sun AM
Teacher: Pastor Star R. Scott
Synopsis: Church authority supersedes the individual, family, and government. Doctrine is set by the Church and is not based on personal revelation, which would result in everyone doing what is right in his own eyes.
Key Verses:
Matthew 16:13-18, Ephesians 4:12-13
-
On This Rock Pt.4
On This Rock Pt.4
Date: February 22, 2009 Sun PM
Teacher: Pastor Star R. Scott
Synopsis: Spiritual leadership sets doctrine, based on the foundational truth of the Word, to keep the flock from being moved by every wind of doctrine. This helps protect the Body from the deceit of wolves and tares. Ministry belongs to each member of the Body.
Key Verses:
Ephesians 4:1-5, 14-16, Acts 2:38-47, 3 John 2-4, 9-11, Acts 18:24-28
-
On This Rock Pt.5
On This Rock Pt.5
Date: February 25, 2009 Wed PM
Teacher: Pastor Star R. Scott
Synopsis: There is either a "church" where everyone does what he wants, or there is one of Biblical order; only one is found in the Bible. The purpose of the five fold ministry gifts is to knit the Body together and to prepare the saints for the work of the ministry. Believers should continue steadfastly in the apostles doctrine.
Key Verses:
Ephesians 4:4-6, 14-16, 2 Timothy 3:14-17, 4:1, Titus 1:5, Acts 2:38,40-47

On This Rock Pt.6
On This Rock Pt.6
Date: March 1, 2009 Sun AM
Teacher: Pastor Star R. Scott
Synopsis: Key Verses:
1 Peter 2:2-9
Christians can protect themselves from apostasy by being spiritually minded, thereby not fulfilling the lusts of the flesh. We are a peculiar people, purchased by God for a specific purpose, and need to set boundaries to keep ourselves separated from unbelievers. When around an unbeliever, we ought to evangelize.
-
On This Rock Pt.7
On This Rock Pt.7
Date: March 1, 2009 Sun PM
Teacher: Pastor Star R. Scott

Christians must never forget that they are the chosen of God, called to holiness. They must beware of identifying with the world’s system, and therefore profaning the name of God. To the unbelievers, Christians are to bring the gospel, rebuke their sin and the justifying of it, and call them to holiness.

How Committed Are You?
How Committed Are You?

Mark 10:17-27, Matthew 10:24-39, John 15:18-23, 16:1-4
Take heed to what the Spirit is saying to the church right now. The Holy Spirit is faithful to send the Word to prepare us for what is to come if we take heed. How committed am I to doing the Word? All who live Godly in Christ Jesus WILL suffer persecution. Deny youself now and take up your cross in order to be prepared spiritually.

On This Rock Pt.8
On This Rock Pt.8
Date: March 8, 2009 Sun AM
Teacher: Pastor Star R. Scott
Synopsis: Summary:
The true Church is easily discernable by the members’ love and commitment to one another, their unity, and their power—obtained by relationship with Father. In the Last Days, unbelievers will love themselves and pleasure more than God, while believers will love God and the Body more than themselves. Satan is trying to promote individuality, while God wants unity.
Key Verses:
Acts 1:1-10, 14; Acts 2:1, 4, 31-47
-
On This Rock Pt.9
On This Rock Pt.9
Date: March 8, 2009 Sun PM

Red Beans and a Piece of Fruit
Red Beans and a Piece of Fruit
Date: March 11, 2009 Wed PM
Teacher: Pastor Forbe Carlson
Synopsis: Summary:
Esau and Eve were enticed away by Satan by using just a bowl of beans and a piece of fruit. Don't be ignorant of Satan's devices; if Eve can be enticed in the midst of perfection, how foolish are we to think there isn't something in our hearts that Satan can use to bring us down. There is somethng in everyone that, if not subject to the Lord, can be used by Satan to bring us down. Stay Humble.
Key Verses:
Genesis 25:19-34; Genesis 18:19; Joshua 24:15; Genesis 3:1-6; Genesis 2:8-9,17; Revelations 3:11; Hebrews 12:1-2, 27; John 10:10 (Quoted at the end)

The Yoke of Meekness Pt.1
Date: March 15, 2009 Sun AM
Teacher: Pastor Star R. Scott

The Yoke of Meekness Pt.2
The Yoke of Meekness Pt.2
Date: March 15, 2009 Sun PM
Teacher: Pastor Star R. Scott
Synopsis: Summary:
The meek man is committed to honoring God with the gifts he has been given. Because he does not think to highly of himself, he is able to recognize others’ gifts in addition to his own. Unity is achieved through lowliness and meekness.
Key Verses:
Romans 11:36, 12:1-16; Ephesians 4:1-7, 16-28
-
Pure Religion Introduction
Pure Religion Introduction
Date: March 18, 2009 Wed PM
Teacher: Pastor Star R. Scott
Synopsis: Summary:
The book of James begins with the admonition to "count it all joy" when trials come so that those trials may prove the faith that is inside of you. Have you been able to count it joy while going through even daily tests? Making it through the trials, with God's help, is what works patience, steadfastness, endurance and consistency in our lives, and will eventually make us like Christ. See the trials as God's confidence in you, He won't put you through anything you can't handle.
Key Verses:
James 1:1-4
-
Pure Religion Pt.1
Pure Religion Pt.1
Date: March 22, 2009 Sun AM
Teacher: Pastor Star R. Scott
Synopsis: Summary:
Jesus is coming back soon, "judgement begins in the house of the Lord", and everything that can be shaken, will be shaken. The trials God puts us through are pressures from a loving Father that wants us to be the purest possible gem for His use. When the trials come see them as God's way of strengthening our faith and endurance to prepare us for the times to come.
Key Verses:
James 1:1-8,12; 1 Corinthians 10:13; 1 Corinthians 9:24-27, 10:1; 1 Peter 4:12-19

Pure Religion Pt.2
Pure Religion Pt.2
Date: March 22, 2009 Sun PM
Teacher: Pastor Star R. Scott
Synopsis: Summary:
The Kingdom of God doesn't defend the truth, we set out against the enemy. Make no apologies, let God be true, every man a liar. What's coming for true Christians is a hatred like never before experienced. We will only be able to count it all joy at that time if we are humbling ourselves and allowing our faith to be tried to work the endurance in us now.
Key Verses:
Hebrews 12:2; Genesis 37:3-28; Genesis 39:1-13, 21-23; Genesis 45:5,7,8

Spiritual Guidance
Spiritual Guidance
Date: March 25, 2009 Wed PM
Teacher: Pastor Jeff Heglund
Synopsis: Summary:
Many Christians seek guidance from the Lord in an obscure way, when God has already provided the most clear form of guidance through the Bible. To be led by God, we must have a thankful and worshipful heart, and be faithful to do the last thing He has told us to do. When in doubt, always go to the Word of God and follow the old paths; which are not the ones that make it easiest on you, but will make you the best for God.
Key Verses:
Proverbs 14:12; Jeremiah 10:23; Psalm 37:23-25; Proverbs 11:3-6; Psalm 25:9; Psalm 1:1-3; Proverbs 3:5-7; Genesis 24:27; Proverbs 11:14; Proverbs 19:20-21; Proverbs 20:18; Jeremiah 23:21-24

Eyes On Eternity
Eyes On Eternity
Date: March 29, 2009 Sun AM
Teacher: Pastor Forbe Carlson
Synopsis: Summary:
Looking to Jesus is our escape from persecution, but short-sightedness distracts many Christians from pursuing Father. Abounding daily in the Word, which comes with a price, allows you to see things from a heavenly perspective. As persecution is a chance to be refined as gold, do not look for the first opportunity to escape.
Key Verses:
1 Corinthians 10:12-13; Acts 7:54-60; Luke 17:26-28, 32-34; Genesis 19:16-26; Hebrews 11:8-10, 12:1-2; Titus 2:11-13; Jude 20-21; 2 Peter 1:3-9

Unashamed Pt.1
Unashamed Pt.1
Date: March 29, 2009 Sun PM
Teacher: Pastor Jon Miller
Synopsis: Summary:
Jesus commands Christians to preach salvation to all men. Satan, the world’s system, and the apostate religious system oppose evangelism. A successful evangelist sets out full of the Holy Spirit and the power of prayer, and does not compromise the pure Gospel message of the cross. God has given us the power and faith to believe that the moment we speak or lay hands on someone, they will be redeemed.
Key Verses:
John 20:21; 17:18-20; 3:17-18; 1:43-51; Romans 3:10-18; Colossians 1:13-14; 1 Timothy 2:3-6;

Unashamed Pt.2
Unashamed Pt.2
Date: April 1, 2009 Wed PM
Teacher: Pastor Jon Miller
Synopsis: Summary:
Guidelines for witnessing include finding common ground, behaving kindly and politely, preaching repentance and the coming judgment, and ultimately telling of the cross. Encourage the unsaved to “come and see” the good works of Father. As with Paul, Silas, and the Philippian jailer, praising God in our greatest persecution and trails can bring people to Jesus.
Key Verses:
Acts 17:6, 16-34; John 1:43-46; Acts 16:16-34
-
Pure Religion Pt.3
Pure Religion Pt.3
Date: April 5, 2009 Sun AM
Teacher: Pastor Star R. Scott
Synopsis: Summary:
The apostate religious system will become drunk on the blood of the saints, bringing unparalleled persecution. Christians must unite, pray, and hide the Word in their hearts like they never have before. A refreshing is coming to the Church.
Key Verses:
James 1:1-8; 5:5-11; 2 Corinthians 4:1-14; Psalms 119:49-50. 140-144, 67; Job 5:17; 23:10

Teacher: Pastor Star R. Scott
Synopsis: Key Verses:
James 1:9-12; 2:1-11; Leviticus 19:15; Matthew 22:14-17
Summary:
Respect of persons is unacceptable, as the Lord sees no difference between gender, race, or material wealth. Do not despise the unlovely in the church or in the world, as Jesus' blood saved us all. Always extend God's mercy, but never at the exclusion of His judgment and honor.
-

Summary:
Be swift to hear the voice of God through His Word and through His people. It is natural to man to promote self by slandering others. How much effort do you put into guarding your mouth? Guard your tongue even when you are around close friends. God takes the sins of an unbridled tongue very seriously. The tongue is a revealer of the heart.

Pure Religion Pt.6
Pure Religion Pt.6
Date: April 15, 2009 Wed PM
Teacher: Pastor Star R. Scott
Synopsis: Key Verses:

Summary:
The greatest form of deception is self-deception, which comes from either being a hearer and not a doer of the Word, or not looking into the mirror of the Word. A hearer of the Word will fall immediately when faced with a trial, because he has no foundation. Faith is always followed by works.

Teacher: Pastor Star R. Scott
Synopsis: Key Verses:
James 1:2-4; Hebrews 10:35-36; 6:12-15; Daniel 6:4, 10
Summary:
To endure the persecution that is coming in the Last Days, we must daily cleanse our minds with the Word and, through patience, learn to trust Father. We cannot enter the presence of God with a spirit of mediocrity; put off things that are not helping you make it. Each new thing we face is the Lord working the endurace in us to make it through more intense things to come.

Synopsis: Key Verses:
Hebrews 6;12-15; Genesis 15:1-6; 16:1-16; 17:1-2, 15-19; 18:14
Summary:
Preparation for the coming persecution includes studying the Word, increasing your faith, enduring trials, and allowing the trials to change you. There is a difference between a wife giving her husband a feminine perspective and promoting feminism. Like Abraham, we learn patience while waiting for the promises of God to be fulfilled.

Pure Religion Pt.9
Pure Religion Pt.9
Date: April 22, 2009 Wed PM
Teacher: Pastor Star R. Scott
Synopsis: Key Verses:
James 2:14-23; James 1:27; Romans 4:16-22; Hebrews 11:6, 8-13
Summary:
Our faith in these Last Days will be tested more then we have ever known. We need to be in serious preparation and ready to move in faith even more because circumstances will be even more out of our hands. Living in the Kingdom of God isn't just a belief system, it's having the faith to be a doer of the Word. If we truly believe that Jesus is coming back then we will be preparing and ready to know His voice when it's spoken.

Teacher: Pastor Star R. Scott
Synopsis: Key Verses:
James 2:15-16, 20-24; Hebrews 4:1-4, 9-11; Hebrews 3: 12-19
Summary:
Faith is necessary to please God and to stand in the final days before Jesus returns. If you are a friend of God, hold nothing so tightly that when asked, you will not offer it back to Him. Your faith has been choked out to the degree that the cares if the world have strangled you. The Word did not profit the Israelites because it was not mixed with faith.

Summary:
To prepare for Jesus’ return, increase your faith and time in the presence of the Lord. Like the heroes of faith, declare plainly the promises of God and recognize that you are a pilgrim on the earth. Guard your heart from unbelief, which God calls evil.

Self-proclaimed "Christians" do not pray anymore, nor do they see it as the privilege it is. Prayer is a lifestyle of "practicing the presence of God"; it is not always what is being articulated, but the awareness of and listening to that still, small voice and letting it speak through you. Purpose to have much time alone with God.

Praying Always Pt.1
Praying Always Pt.1
Date: May 3, 2009 Sun AM
Teacher: Pastor Star R. Scott
Synopsis: Key Verses:
James 5:13-17; Isaiah 51:12-13, 15-16; 55:6-11; 65:24; Jeremiah 5:13-14; 29:10-13
Summary:
Effective prayer is achieved by getting quiet in your prayer closet and waiting on God until you hear from Him. Prayer is not just us petitioning God, but is the privilege of accessing His presence. Praying amiss is the result of not knowing the will of Father.

Psalms 65:2; Mark 1:35; 6:46; Luke 5:15-16; 6:12; 22:41; Matthew 26:41; 1 Thessalonians 3:7-13
Summary:
While on earth, Jesus was tempted in the same ways that we are, yet He still came apart to pray. How much more of a necessity is it for us? Since time is the primary cost of effectual praying, Satan will try to steal your time. In these last days, we need to intercede for doors of utterance to open so we can share the Gospel to the lost.

Ephesians 6:10-19; Philippians 4:4-8; Acts 12:4-5; 2:42; 3:1
Summary:
If you make praying without ceasing your lifestyle, you will be known in the heavenlies and will walk in power and authority over the enemy. Satan is powerless against a true prayer warrior. To withstand deception, be still to hear the voice of God and daily put on the armor of God.

1 John 3:1-3; Hebrews 1:1-4; Philippians 2:5-11; Numbers 12:3
Luke 4:1-12; John 8:28; 14:23
Summary:
Our goal of being like Jesus involves imitating His humility and being a perfect reflection of Father. Though we will not be like Jesus physically until we see Him, spiritually, we are already like Him. In imitating Jesus’ humility, make yourself of no reputation, do not seek recognition, and God will promote you in His time.

Summary:
To obtain rest in Father, enter into the presence of God; this will cause you to cease from your labors, rest in His promises, divest your agenda, and have compassion for others. Taking the yoke of Jesus upon yourself will help conquer fear and unbelief. Do not demand that God feed you something other than manna.

Synopsis: Key Verses:
John 17:17-23; Ephesians 4:3-7, 15; Acts 1:14; Acts 2:1; Acts 4:32-35; Acts 5:12-13
Summary:
We must be unified around the truth of the Word of God. If we are going to have unity, we must put aside ambition and self-promotion. There will be no unity if Biblical love is not present. Can the world look at us and say, "Behold, how they love one another!"
-
Closer Than A Brother Pt.2
Closer Than A Brother Pt.2
Date: May 24, 2009 Sun AM
Teacher: Pastor Star R. Scott
Synopsis: Key Verses:
2 Timothy 3:1-5; John 17:21; Romans 15:1-6
Summary:
Jesus desires the Body to be unified, for the purpose of glorifying God with one mind and one heart; Satan’s goal is to bring division, beginning in the homes. Before we can love the Body, we must first understand our own weaknesses, taking the beam out of our own eyes. There is a difference between unity and intimacy; our common commitment must be for Christ, not for personal gain.

Closer Than A Brother Pt.3
Closer Than A Brother Pt.3
Date: May 24, 2009 Sun PM
Teacher: Pastor Star R. Scott
Synopsis: Key Verses:
Romans 15:1-6; Proverbs 31:10-12; 17:17; 27:10, 17; Ecclesiastes 4:9-10
Summary:
Love never fails to endure another Christian’s growth toward Christlikeness; the strong ought to bear the infirmities of the weak. Intimate friendships are deeper than regular friendships, and are identified by those who do the will of the Father. As you prefer others better than yourself, you become likeminded, resulting in unity and the ultimate goal of glorifying God.
-
Closer Than A Brother Pt.4
Closer Than A Brother Pt.4
Date: May 27, 2009 Wed PM
Teacher: Pastor Star R. Scott
Synopsis: Key Verses:
John 13:14; Romans 15:1-6; Ezekiel 22:26-31
Summary:
True unity results from bringing everything to the light. There will be no spiritual unity until we are willing to love unconditionally and are ready to be hurt. Unity will only come as each person seeks to serve others in the body of Christ. What are we willing to commit in order to see true, spiritual unity?
-
Closer Than A Brother Pt.5
Closer Than A Brother Pt.5
Date: May 31, 2009 Sun AM
Teacher: Pastor Star R. Scott
Synopsis: Key Verses:
John 15:12; Galatians 5:13; 1 Peter 1:22; 4:7-10; Romans 12:9; 1 John 2:5, 10-11; 4:21; 5:1-3
Summary:
Because Jesus commands believers to love one another, you have an individual responsibility to become unified in the Body of Christ. Love is a choice, not a feeling, to prefer others better than yourself. Love of self prevents you from loving everyone equally and results in hypocrisy. By seeing yourself as the debtor, walking in humility, and embracing the cross, you can love the unlovely.
-
Closer Than A Brother Pt.6
Closer Than A Brother Pt.6
Date: May 31, 2009 Sun PM
Teacher: Pastor Star R. Scott
Synopsis: Key Verses:
1 Corinthians 12:19-28; 13:1-6; Ephesians 4:1-2, 30-32; Luke 10:34; Romans 12:10-13
Summary:
God has placed every member of the Body as it pleases Him, and this structure must operate in love. The highest calling is to meet a brother’s needs in the name of Jesus. Love is long-suffering, as seen in its endurance through a brother’s personal hardships, trials, rejections, and transgressions. Love is also kind, behaving tenderly and with compassion; it trusts God to finish the work in a brother’s life and does not have to administer final judgment.

Teacher: Pastor Star R. Scott
Synopsis: Key Verses:
John 15:12; 1 Peter 1:22; Romans 12:3, 9; 1 Corinthians 13:4
Summary:
In order to love your brother, you must first see yourself as the chief of sinners, an unprofitable servant, and a debtor. The purpose of love and spiritual gifts is to serve and edify the Body, not promote yourself. Love has no right to require of others what it has been forgiven. Walking in humility will prevent envy.

Closer Than A Brother Pt.8
Closer Than A Brother Pt.8
Date: June 10, 2009 Wed PM
Teacher: Pastor Star R. Scott
Synopsis: Key Verses:
John 12:9; 1 Peter 1:22; 1 John 2:3-11; 1 John 4:7-12, 16-21; 1 Corinthians 13:5; 1 Corinthians 10:15,24; Romans 15:1; 1:32; Philippians 2:4; Acts 15:39; 2 Thessalonians 2:12; Ephesians 5:11
Summary:
Each attribute of love expressed in 1 Corinthians 13 shows the selflessness of love. To love and to become unified with the body of Christ is a choice to obey God's commandments. If we only love based on our emotions, we will be deceived. You will never be vulnerable enough to allow your life to be united with others' until you realize that God loves and will never leave you. Perfect love casts out the fear that causes us not to be vulnerable.

Summary:
Many times we do not realize how much we value a faithful person until someone is unfaithful, but God is always faithful and true. Jesus was tempted in every way that we are, yet He stayed faithful to God. God has blessed us with talents that must be faithfully invested into the Kingdom, never hidden away because of laziness.

Summary:
The main purpose for God’s might is His pleasure and glory. As everything God does pleases Him, we need to be pleased with everything He does. Do not begrudge the Lord’s generosity towards those you deem undeserving. God’s might is also for the blameless; He is impressed by humility.

Summary:
God's might is for His people. We cannot move in God's power if we allow areas of sin in our lives. We will be able to trust God in the big trials if we are actively looking for opportunities to trust Him now. God shows His might ultimately for His glory so that everyone will know His power and that we may fear Him.

Summary:
God’s promises will sustain His people in these last days; know and be fully persuaded of these promies in order to stand.

Summary:
God's looking for a people that He may show His might through, and these people must be willing, obedient and blameless. God shows His might for His glory, and so that people will fear Him forever. When God's people submit to the authority He has placed, trust Him, and worship Him, God's might is sure to manifest.

Ezekiel 18:31
Joel 2:12
Hosea 14:2
Psalms 34:18
2 Samuel 12:7, 10-14
Summary:
As the Bride of Christ, we should purify ourselves for Jesus' return. This includes truly repenting of sin, which recognizes and acknowledges our inability and unworthiness to do the will of God. Be horrified at any sin in our midst, for it will leaven the whole lump. We do not hate sin as we need to.

Synopsis: Key Verses:
Joel 2:12-13
Revelations 2:4-5
Psalms 34:18; 51:1-4, 17
Acts 3:19
Summary:
Repentance demands a course change; there is no repentance without contrition. Genuine repentance acknowledges transgressions you have specifically committed and recognizes you have sinned against God. If you have become desensitized to sin, you will not require true repentance from others. Be obsessed with righteousness.

Synopsis: Key Verses:
Joel 2:12;Isaiah 22:12; Jonah 3:6-9; 1 Corinthians 5:5-13
Summary:
The children of God, the Bride of Christ, make themselves ready by repenting and mourning the sin in their members. They believe the Church is pure and will therefore do whatever is necessary to prevent and eradicate sin in their midst. The Lord gives everyone a chance for repentance, but that opportunity will not last indefintely; repent now. The true children of God will leaven the mediocre around them, not be leavened by their mediocrity.

Revelation 2:2-5; 3:10; 2 Corinthians 7:1, 9-11; 6:14-18; Psalm 38:18; Proverbs 28:13; Isaiah 55:7
Summary:
God wants His church to be completely pure of all spots and wrinkles, not just the large blemishes of sin. True repentance requires confession of sin, forsaking sin, and indignation at sin. The fear of God must be in each believer in order to be disgusted by the sin inside of each of us. Godly sorrow is eager and earnest to rectify itself with Father and the Body.

Summary:
Fear God because He is worthy. God requires that we fear Him with obedience and has specific ways we should serve Him. We will give an account for every idle word; do not make a vow to God and not keep it. The fear of God is evidenced by a desire to be about Father's work and to see Him glorified above your own agenda.

Summary:
Prepare yourself to face the increased pressure to deny the Lord by building yourself up in the Word, which is your foundation. As a believer, you can represent the Lord most effectively by living what you believe. As the world gets worse, do not compromise the Word for the sake of your children.

Summary:
The power and presence of God, which comes with your relationship with Jesus, is synonymous with the fear of God. There is a price to pay for the promises you make to the Lord. Believers who fear God have the following characteristics: they delight in obeying God, refuse to sin, fear God’s displeasure, are not wise in their own eyes, reverence and worship God, sanctify themselves, are single-minded, have peace, and choose to serve the Lord.

Ephesians 6:10-12
Romans 8:31-39
Summary:
When Satan brings persecution against the Church, the battle is won by the people of God gathering together and in faith believing God’s promise of deliverance. Believers need to follow Jehoshaphat’s example and magnify the Lord at the first sign of distress. To withstand enemy’s tactics, which are to fear and to compromise the Word, Christians must put on the full armor of God.

The Act Of Thankfulness
The Act Of Thankfulness

1 John 2:16; 1 Timothy 1:12; Philippians 4:10-13; Hebrews 13:5; Psalm 50:14; 92:1-6
1 Chronicles 29:2-16; Acts 28:11-15; 2 Timothy 1:16-18; Joshua 19:49-50
Summary:
Thankfulness is a choice to be satisfied with that God’s given you; it is not based on emotions or circumstances. Unthankfulness is a portal for the enemy. A thankful heart sees itself as the chief of sinners, is content, worships God, has a giving heart, and is thankful for the Body.

Summary:
The Church's neglect of pursuing the Holy Spirit is obvious by her overall lack of power. The Holy Spirit is a gift promised to all Christians and aids in practical power, spiritual strength and comfort that will be needed even more in these last days. Once filled with the Spirit, a Christian's focus should not be on how he can get more of Him, but how he can yield more of himself to the Lord.

Matthew 22:29, 34-39; 7:24-29; Mark 7:5-9; Romans 7:7-14, 22-25
Summary:
In the last days, only a firm foundation in the Word of God will cause a Christian to stand, even unto death. The spirit of antichrist will try to use belief in and obedience to the Word against believers. The Law is never excluded from Christian life, but lived by the letter or by the spirit. The more a Christian obeys the Word, the more he will be hated.

Summary:
As the Lord's return draws closer, God will reveal more of the Bride's blemishes in order to remove every spot and wrinkle. Those who are self-deceived do not think they need help and believe they are the exception to the rule. Freedom from deception comes from having an encounter with God, choosing to believe the Bible and those who rebuke you, and embracing humility. Do not judge another's repentance.

Matthew 17:1-8; 2 Peter 1:4-20; Psalm 19:7; 119:105, 130; Hosea 4:6; Colossians 3:16
Summary:
Given the presence of the spirit of antichrist, know exactly what you believe by finding truth in the Word for yourself. A sure foundation in the Word of God enables Christians to discern which doctrines are of Christ and which are not. Temptations are overcome only by reading and doing, not interpreting, the Word. Compromise and destruction result from choosing to reject the knowledge of God.

Summary:
If we, as Christians, say that we love the Lord, then we will love His Word, which is the Bible. The Lord uses the Word to reprogram your heart from all worldliness, so you can be assured of the truth of the Word. By meditating on the Word day and night, your hunger for it will increase and you will see how necessary, powerful, and pure it is so you can fall in love with Jesus.

Summary:
As seen in the Parable of the Sower, the Word of God will always produce good fruit when sown into good ground. Prevent Satan from stealing the Word by immediately becoming a doer of the Word, which will produce Christlikeness, character, and fruit. Shallow ground is deepened by the trials and pressures the Lord allows. A hunger for the Lord is seen in a whole-hearted pursuit.

Summary:
Do not let anything take your eyes off of Jesus in the last days. You are responsible for the condition of the soil of your heart. Do not become entangled with the cares of this life, realize the shallowness in your life, and seek first the Kingdom of God, regardless of how much of a "necessity of life" it may seem. Discipline yourself to set apart time with Father to avoid being overtaken by abundance.

Matthew 7:13-25; Deuteronomy 8:11-20
Summary:
The Word of God is not just a philosophy book or religion. By sowing the Word of God into your heart, you are assured of becoming like Jesus. Check your own fruit, and break up your fallow ground. Obedience to the Word is what breaks up the fallow ground of our hearts. Trusting in possessions rather than the Lord will cause the Word to be choked out of your heart.

Synopsis: Key Verses:
Deuteronomy 8:3-4, 11-13; Deuteronomy 6:3-25; Deuteronomy 7:2-12
Summary:
Set aside the cares of this world to make room for personal disciplines, such as putting on the armor of God. Not keeping the commandments of God is forgetting Him. Any compromise with the world causes the spiritual death of yourself and your children. Do not apologize for being holy and separate.

Teacher: Pastor Star R. Scott
Synopsis: Key Verses:
1 Timothy 6:3-11; Mark 10:17-30; Luke 12:13-21
Summary:
Guard against trusting in uncertain riches for fulfillment. Discontentment is measured by how much you want more and results in covetousness. Do not desire wealth; instead, be content with the greatest treasure, being a child of God. Trust God to provide your every need.

At The Master's Feet
At The Master's Feet
Date: August 26, 2009 Wed PM
Teacher: Pastor Star R. Scott
Synopsis: Key Verses:
Matthew 5:1-3; Luke 18:9-14; Matthew 18:21-35
Summary:
To keep from deception in the last days, remove distractions and sit at the feet of Jesus, as seen in the Sermon on the Mount. Those who are poor in spirit are humble, teachable, forgive others, and always see themselves first as the debtor. Your confidence cannot be in your own ability to represent Jesus, but rather in Jesus' ability to speak and work through you. Be poor in spirit and God can use you for His glory.

Synopsis: Key Verses:
Acts 27:9-44; 1 Corinthians 15:58; Psalm 43:5; 28:7; 2 Timothy 4:18; Isaiah 41:10
Summary:
Hope cannot be based on feelings. Obey God through trials and temptations, which are for the purpose of trying your faith, and He will deliver you from the storms. Because Father loves the unsaved more than you do, trust Him to save them.

"Comfortable" Christianity
"Comfortable" Christianity
Date: August 30, 2009 Sun PM
Teacher: Pastor Jon Miller
Synopsis: Verses:
1 Peter 1:13-16; Numbers 32:1-14; Ephesians 4:1; Genesis 19:29; 1 Samuel 7:13; Galatians 6:14; 1 John 5:3; Matthew 4:8-11; Matthew 5:19; Matthew 22:2-11; Zephaniah 1:7-8; Hebrews 2:1-3; Psalm 106:24-25
Summary:
In order to not be picked off by Satan, we must be on the offensive in declaring to the world that we are children of God. Is the world dead to us? We need to boast in the cross of Christ by embracing His commandments rather than relaxing them. Are we clothed with Jesus' righteousness or our own righteousness?

At The Master's Feet Pt.2
At The Master's Feet Pt.2
Date: September 2, 2009 Wed PM
Teacher: Pastor Star R. Scott
Synopsis: Key Verses:
Matthew 5:1-4; 1 Corinthians 5:1-2; Joshua 6:24-25; 7:1-26; 8:1-2
Summary:
By sitting at the Master's feet, you will learn His heart and not be distracted by the cares of this world. The Church will never know the Comforter's power until its members mourn their sin. As seen with the Israelites' defeat at Ai due to Achan's disobedience, only after sin has been mourned and destroyed can God's people be given the full power to defeat Satan. Ask the Lord for forgiveness and compassion towards those who will persecute you.

Teacher: Pastor Star R. Scott
Synopsis: Key Verses:
Matthew 5:3-5; Zephaniah 2:3; Galations 5:22; 2 Timothy 2:25; 1 Peter 3:1-4
Summary:
Meekness is the choice to rest on the promises of God. A meek man is absolutely dependent on Father and champions the Word to his own hurt. Put more emphasis on glorifying God rather than man. After giving input to their husbands, wives should rest in the Lord.

Summary:
God will only use those who are separate from this world. We must be willing to endure trials and persecution in order to live a life that is holy and separate unto God. A lack of separation will cause us to serve the world's gods and idols.

Complacency Is Death
Complacency Is Death
Date: September 9, 2009 Wed PM
Teacher: Pastor Jeff Heglund
Synopsis: Key Verses:
Matthew 11:12; Daniel 11:32; Psalm 144:1-2; Philippians 3:17-20;
Summary:
Normal Christianity involves constant spiritual warfare, for which the Lord prepares His children. One of the enemy’s tactics is complacency, where he tempts believers to have a lukewarm pursuit of Father, which renders them useless. Do not believe the lies of Satan that would cause you to not re-enter the battle because of previous failure.

Teacher: Pastor Star R. Scott
Synopsis: Key Verses:
Matthew 5:6; Psalm 63:1-6; 2 Chronicles 14:2-13; 15:1-3
Summary:
A hunger and thirst for righteousness will increase your longing for the presence of God while decreasing your attraction to the world. If you do not eat the Word every day, you are on the brink of spiritual death. Glorify God by loving the Body and praising the Lord in every circumstance.

Matthew 5:7-9; Luke 10:29-37; Revelation 14:5; Psalm 119:13; 24:3-4; 1 Peter 1:22; 1 Timothy 1:5
Summary:
Mercy involves divine compassion, forgiveness, and sympathy; it never requires the object in need to be worthy. In a day of increasing vexation, purity is restored by obeying and doing the Word. Peace comes from surrender to the lordship of Jesus.

Teacher: Pastor Star R. Scott
Synopsis: Key Verses:
Acts 9:4-16; Matthew 5:10-12; 24:7-15; Luke 21:12-19; John 15:18-19
Summary:
All true believers are called to suffer because of their association with Jesus. As the world will hate and persecute the righteous, how believers handle adversity is a testimony of their faith. Spiritual warfare purifies the believer to meet the Lord.
-
At The Master's Feet Pt.7
At The Master's Feet Pt.7
Date: September 20, 2009 Sun PM

Summary:
The Lord has chosen you from the world and ordained that you should suffer for His name’s sake. If you are not offending the world, you are offending God. The same faith can both deliver you from and sustain you through persecution. Faith is the victory over the grief that suffering can bring.

At The Master's Feet Pt.8
Date: September 27, 2009 Sun AM
Teacher: Pastor Star R. Scott
Synopsis: Verses:
Matthew 5:10-12; Luke 22:31-34; John 15:18-25; 16:2-3, 33; 1 Peter 2:20-21; 3:14; 4:16; 5:10-11
Summary:
The world will hate and persecute believers for their representation of the Word as absolute truth. Do not embrace a false appearance of acceptance by the world. Endure suffering and persecution with patience, for the Lord uses these to refine His children as pure gold. There are many great men of God who suffered persecution for Jesus. Some stood and some failed. Do not give up, because Jesus is praying for you.

Sound The Alarm
Date: September 27, 2009 Sun PM
Teacher: Pastor Tony Wozniak
Synopsis: Verses:
1 Peter 4:1, 16; 1:6; Luke 21:12-13; Philippians 1:29; Psalm 34:19; 119:67, 71, 75; 1 Timothy 2:11-12; Hebrews 5:8-9; 2 Chronicles 20:3-4; Joel 1:2-4, 14; 2:1; Amos 3:6; Ezra 8:21; Esther 4:1-4, 13
Summary:
Trials are divinely appointed opportunities to live what you believe. The testimony of Jesus is seen by those who endure affliction and pour out their lives for what they believe. In every case of national crisis in the Bible, the people of God sought the Lord fervently, with prayer and fasting, and the Lord delivered them.

Works, Faith and Blood
Works, Faith and Blood
Date: September 30, 2009 Wed PM
Teacher: Pastor Les Stone
Synopsis: Verses:
John 3:3-8; Ephesians 2:1-8; Romans 10:8-10; Hebrews 9:22; Mark 1:14; Jonah 3:5-9; 2 Corinthians 5:17; 13:5; Matthew 3:7-8; 7:15-20
Summary:
A major issue in many churches today are members who say they have become regenerated, yet have no lasting fruit. This is a result of many not truly believing that they are depraved, but thinking their innate "goodness" makes them a believer. Parents and friends must speak truthfully with those who have had a false conversion so they will not be deceived.

Armed In Victory Pt.1
Date: October 4, 2009 Sun AM
Teacher: Pastor Jon Miller
Synopsis: Key Verses:
Luke 10:9; Matthew 16:18;19:25-26; 1 Thessalonians 5:6; 1 Peter 5:8; Joel 3:16; Ephesians 1:15-21; 6:10; Philippians 4:13
Summary:
In spiritual warfare, do not put on the armor of God to win the battle. It has already been won! The shock of battle should never cause believing soldiers to run away. Younger generations, unproven in battle, must resist the temptation to believe the armor is to heavy and then remove it. Modifying spiritual armor results in being overtaken by the enemy.

Synopsis: Key Verses:
Luke 10:19; Matthew 16:18; Ephesians 6:11-14; 1:21; 1 Samuel 17:1-6, 38-40, 45-48; 2 Corinthians 10:3-6; Romans 13:13; John 17:17; 1:1, 14, 17; 6:60-63; 5:39-40; Revelation 19:13; Jeremiah 15:16; Psalm 119:103; 1 John 5:3
Summary:
Choose to put on the whole armor of God, which is the only defense against the enemy. Everything a believer fights on a daily basis has already been defeated by God, he only needs to find the victory. The Word of God will not help you unless you become united with Jesus.

Teacher: Pastor Star R. Scott
Synopsis: Key Verses:
Matthew 5:3-16; Acts 1:8; 1 Peter 3:15; Psalm 66:16; Isaiah 62:6
Summary:
Believers have been called by Jesus to be the "salt" of the earth, and to be effective, salt must have contact. When we lose our compassion for souls, our saltiness has lost its savor. We as salt are not to have so much of our own ideas and personality that all unbelievers "taste" is us. We are to accentuate the love of Jesus to them.

At The Master's Feet Pt.10
At The Master's Feet Pt.10
Date: October 11, 2009 Sun AM
Teacher: Pastor Star R. Scott
Synopsis: Key Verses:
Matthew 5:17-19; Matthew 22:34-40; Deuteronomy 6:1-3, 6-9; Deuteronomy 10:12-13;
Summary:
Those who criticize the true Church today for being legalistic often don't understand the difference between legalism and obedience to the law of God. Legalism is when people believe that keeping the law of God is what makes you right with Him instead of the blood of Jesus. We must be on guard in these last days against the mentality that obeying the law of God is too difficult. God's law is what teaches us and we need to embrace it, otherwise we will find ourselves making excuses for disobedience.

Synopsis: Key Verses:
Psalm 3:1-8; Psalm 71:1-16; Joel 2:1
Summary:
In this time of persecution and war, set yourself apart to seek the Lord. This is not a time to play around; go to war against Satan through prayer and fasting. Pray God's promises, believing that His will is to fulfill the Word He has spoken.

Teacher: Pastor Star R. Scott
Synopsis: Key Verses:
2 Kings 18:5-19, 28-37; 17:33; 19:1-22
Summary:
Trials are preparation for the coming persecution to make the Bride spotless and without wrinkle. Fear your own voice more than the voice of the world or the enemy. Trust God to deliver you from the enemy.
-
Warring In Worship Pt.2
Warring In Worship Pt.2
Date: October 18, 2009 Sun PM
Teacher: Pastor Star R. Scott
Synopsis: Key Verses:
2 Chronicles 15:1-4, 7, 12, 16; 16:7-14; 20:3-22
Summary:
How we finish the race is just as important as how we start it. In times of difficulty, God is sought through fasting, corporate prayer, humility, and intercession. Worship is one of our greatest weapons. Rest does not negate obedience and action.

And He Called For A Famine
Date: October 21, 2009 Wed PM
Teacher: Pastor Tony Wozniak
Synopsis: Key Verses:
Amos 8:11-12; Psalm 106:10-15; 105:16; 78:25; 33:18-19; 37:18; Deuteronomy 8:2; 1 Samuel 3; Genesis 12:1, 7-11; 13:3; 26:1-12; Exodus 16:2-3; Job 5:20
Summary:
God causes famine to make His children realize their desperate need for Him. He will supernaturally provide angels' food. During times of testing, do not divert to the world's methods for momentary ease. Endure fiery trials, for God is preparing and purifying you.

Date: October 25, 2009 Sun AM
Teacher: Pastor Star R. Scott
Synopsis: Key Verses:
James 1:2-6; Luke 9:23-27; 14:26-27
Summary:
Taking up your cross is a daily choice to die to self, which results in perfect obedience. Those who embrace the cross should stand out in society, and therefore be persecuted and hated. Love God more by loving yourself less.

Take Up Your Cross
Take Up Your Cross
Date: October 25, 2009 Sun PM
Teacher: Pastor Tony Wozniak
Synopsis: Key Verses:
Luke 14:25-27, 33; 1 Samuel 3:1; Matthew 10:22-38; 16:20; 2 Timothy 3:1; 4:10, 16; 1:15; Philippians 2:21; Galatians 5:24; Mark 10:32
Summary:
Self-denial is the basic, fundamental principle of being a disciple. Ask God for the humility to die to self that is essential to endure trials, afflictions, and chasetisement. Use the times of plenty to prepare for times of famine. Learn from Peter's mistake of resisting the will of the Lord when it conflicted with his own will, as seen when Jesus said, "Get behind me, Satan!"

The Radical Cross Pt.2
The Radical Cross Pt.2
Date: November 1, 2009 Sun AM
Teacher: Pastor Star R. Scott
Synopsis: Key Verses:
Colossians 2:20; 3:1-3; Galations 2:20; 6:14
Summary:
The cross, which believers are called to take up daily, is the pursuit of discovering and knowing the will of God, yielding to it at all costs. Making daily decisions without first seeking Father's will demonstrates a lack of personal crucifixtion. A man wholly on the cross is at rest completely because he has died to his will and fully trusts in God's grace and wisdom.
-
The Radical Cross Pt.3
The Radical Cross Pt.3
Date: November 4, 2009 Wed PM
Teacher: Pastor Star R. Scott
Synopsis: Key Verses:
Matthew 16:13-28; Luke 14:27
Summary:
The cross, that Father has called all of us to embrace daily, will only produce Christlikeness in your life. Each time a decision is made without considering first what Father would have you do, you are denying Him and showing how independent you still are. If any part of your life is held back from God, you will lose all of it. You will know that you have embraced the cross when you habitually choose the Lord over yourself.
-
The Radical Cross Pt.4
The Radical Cross Pt.4
Date: November 8, 2009 Sun AM
Teacher: Pastor Star R. Scott
Synopsis: Key Verses:
Matthew 16:24; Luke 14:26
Summary:
Believers must make the daily determination to ask what Father would have us do today. Death produces true humility. Do not try to serve God; die. The moment we try to justify creature worship, we usurp God's authority. You will never know what God is saying if you do not take the time to be quiet.

The Radical Cross Pt.5
The Radical Cross Pt.5

Synopsis: Key Verses:
Matthew 5:6; Deuteronomy 4:29-32, 35; 2 Peter 1:3; Luke 14:25-28; 9:49-50; 56-60
Summary:
Without an eternal perspective, a Christian will fall into self-love and therefore refuse to embrace the cross, which is obedience to the will of God. Do not withhold any part of your life from Him. Those who want Jesus badly enough will do whatever it takes to find Him.

The Axe Is Laid
The Axe Is Laid
Date: November 15, 2009 Sun PM
Teacher: Pastor Tony Wozniak
Synopsis: Key Verses:
Luke 3:3-4, 8; 13:6-7; 1 Corinthians 12:31; Mark 11:12; Isaiah 5:1-6; John 15:7-8; 8:31-32
Summary:
True fruit produces godly character, which is the visible expression of the power of God working in a Christian’s life. At its foundation, fruit is not seen through works, ministry, or service. Repentance must be a part of daily life. More fruit is produced when Jesus prunes His children and they choose to die to self.

Out Of Touch With God
Out Of Touch With God
Date: November 18, 2009 Wed PM
Teacher: Pastor Jeff Heglund
Synopsis: Key Verses:
Daniel 11:32; 1 Samuel 15:3-28; 1 Corinthians 9:27; Judges 16:17-20; 1 Samuel 12:23; Luke 18:1; Numbers 19:22; Matthew 5:13; Psalms 66:18
Summary:
As branches, a Christian's only job is to be plugged into the Vine, the life of God, which allows him to naturally produce fruit. It is impossible to produce life if you are out of touch with God. Do not think that because you have been in touch with God in the past that you are automatically in touch with Him now. Obedience and being much alone with God is the key to being alive the Vine.

The Radical Cross Pt.7
Date: November 22, 2009 Sun PM
Teacher: Pastor Star R. Scott
Synopsis: Key Verses:
Luke 13:24; Matthew 7:1-14; Hebrews 12:9
Summary:
A Christian's greatest responsibility is to find his place in the Body and fulfill it to the best of his ability. Love and the preferring of others is the greatest sign of regeneration. Be as diligent about the things of God as you are about the things of men.
-
The Radical Cross Pt.8
The Radical Cross Pt.8
Date: November 29, 2009 Sun AM
Teacher: Pastor Star R. Scott
Synopsis: Key Verses:
Luke 14:26-27; Matthew 7:1-5
Summary:
Embracing the cross results in the death of self and pride, allowing the Body to become unified in its common pursuit of Christ-likeness. The consequence of fulfilling the first commandment, loving the Lord with all your heart, is loving and preferring your brother. The servant of all does not promote himself and is absolutely content with his place in the Body.
-
The Radical Cross Pt.9
The Radical Cross Pt.9
Date: November 29, 2009 Sun PM
Teacher: Pastor Star R. Scott
Synopsis: Key Verses:
Hebrews 12:1
Summary:
In preparation of the coming of the Lord, permanently lay aside every weight. Personal ego is the beam that remains until self is crucified. Humility never enters the mind of the humble man; he seeks only the glory of God. Provoke the Body to love and good works by your lifestyle.

The Radical Cross Pt.10
Date: December 6, 2009 Sun AM
Teacher: Pastor Star R. Scott
Synopsis: Key Verses:
Hebrews 12:1, 14, 23-29
Summary:
Embracing the cross results in death to self. A Christian has been vexed if he believes God exists to meet his needs; he will therefore have a perverted view of God’s purpose, which is ultimately for God’s glory and not his personal happiness. Begin to travel lighter by laying aside every weight.

The Radical Cross Pt.11
The Radical Cross Pt.11
Date: December 6, 2009 Sun PM
Teacher: Pastor Star R. Scott
Synopsis: Key Verses:
Hebrews 10:19-26; 1 John 1:10; 2:2-11; 3:12
Summary:
The purpose of assembling together is to provoke the Body to love and good works. Lay up treasures in heaven and lay aside every weight. When self is crucified, walking in the Spirit is second nature. Contrary to the desires of the flesh, the Scripture teaches that self must die first. Anything less than living in humility and preferring the Body results in envy, strife, and every evil work.

Synopsis: Key Verses:
Luke 14:26-27; Matthew 16:24; Deuteronomy 6:5; 10:12; 1 John 4:7-10
Summary:
Without death to self, including a loss of personal agenda, it is impossible to love God with your whole heart. A life that is not completely surrendered is evidenced by subtle areas of lordship in a Christian’s life. True Biblical love requires obedience.

Synopsis: Verses:
1 John 2:7-11; 3:10-14, 16; 4:7-21; Ephesians 4:2-6; Colossians 3:12-14
Summary:
The Second Commandment exists to prepare the Body to fulfill the First Commandment. Pure love does not allow room for personal agendas and consciences. Laying down your life to love your brother requires humility and death to self. Biblical forbearance sees the Body through the blood of Christ and applies continual pressure to conform it to the will of God.

Synopsis: Key Verses:
Exodus 19:12, 16; 14:14; 15:1-3, 11; 16:2; Hebrews 11:24
Summary:
In order to embrace the cross, a Christian must die daily, which is only possible if he has had an encounter with God. Lack of this encounter leads to perpetual frustration and a setting of personal agenda. There is no Promise Land without the proving of the wilderness.

Synopsis: Key Verses:
Genesis 28:6-19; 30:31-33; 32:24-28; John 1:29-39
Summary:
To survive in this busy hour, it is essential to put away the noise, die to self, and seek the Lord. Not everyone has a spectacular encounter with God--by thunder, a burning bush, or a wrestling match; live by faith. If you ever acquire a limp in an encounter with God, do not despise it.
