I heard Pastor Ware ripped it up on Sunday.
People were saying that those who missed, missed it. We are so proud of who Jesus is developing him into. We are blessed to have him Pastoring our youth.
Alright now, get ready, we are about to make an announcement…….are you ready?
IN THE LAST FIVE WEEKS, 32 PEOPLE HAVE RECEIVED JESUS AS THEIR PERSONAL SAVIOR!!!!!!!
If that was the end it would all be worth it!
Thank you Jesus for trusting us with your babies.
If one of the people that received Jesus was one of your friends you need to help them and encourage them to become CONSISTENT to the maturing process of growth. They need to be faithful to the house of God and you need to really, strongly encourage them to join Catechism. This will establish their foundation, not on ignorance, but building on Jesus with understanding.
One issue that I would like to strengthen you on at His Tabernacle is to become CONSISTENT. For whatever reason, people at His Tab are not consistent. There are many who call this their home, but are not consistent. I would like to encourage you about your purpose and calling. His Tab will never function at its highest levels without you. You and I are the plan of God to reach this region for Jesus. The devil gets us busy, or tired and sometimes simply lazy, and we place Jesus and His house 4th or 5th in line of priorities.
Heb 10:23 We must hold tightly to the hope that we say is ours. After all, we can trust the one who made the agreement with us.
Heb 10:24 We should keep on encouraging each other to be thoughtful and to do helpful things.
Heb 10:25 Some people have gotten out of the habit of meeting for worship, but we must not do that. We should keep on encouraging each other, especially since you know that the day of the Lord's coming is getting closer. (cev)
It is so easy to get out of the habit of coming to the house of God consistently, but that is because the purpose of vision in your heart is lost or you do not yet understand your importance to the plan of God.
I have said this before and want to repeat the question, “If you were as faithful to your job as you are to the house of God, would you still have a job?”
There is no condemnation meant, but my responsibility as your Pastor is to realign if I see something that the enemy is actively doing to destroy your purpose of God. You are too important to the destiny of this region to be lulled to sleep or be distracted from the goals of the Kingdom of God.
2Ti 4:1 Therefore I solemnly witness before God and the Lord Jesus Christ, who is going to judge the living and the dead according to His appearance and His kingdom,
2Ti 4:2 preach the Word, be instant in season and out of season, reprove, rebuke, exhort with all long-suffering and doctrine.
2Ti 4:3 For a time will be when they will not endure sound doctrine, but they will heap up teachers to themselves according to their own lusts, tickling the ear.
2Ti 4:4 And they will turn away their ears from the truth and will be turned to myths.
I know this is a long one, but I am concerned for some of your lives (spiritual and eternal), this is what a loving Pastor does, protects the people of God from distractions that cause eternal loss.
Make it your habit of life to be CONSISTENT to the personal relationship with Jesus and to the corporate vision that you are needed to accomplish.
We know that some have to work and that they do not have a choice, that is not what we are sharing about. We are addressing those who are just not making Jesus and His house a priority in their lives. Christianity is not an experience, it is a LIFESTYLE.
I am pumped to know that if 32 people have been saved in 5 weeks that we are getting ready for more increase of souls. Be part of that passion and vision and lay up treasures that are eternal not temporal.
See you Sunday!!!!
Say it with me please, CONSISTENCY IS EVERYTHING.
