SPIRITUALITY AND FAITH
TESTIFY about Me”. We Need God and the Church since…
1. JESUS’ NAME Points Us Back To The Father. His name Jesus means "Jehovah Is Salvation"! Jesus came to show us the Father and in Mal. 3:7 says “Return to Me & I will Return to You”. Further…
2. JESUS’ POWER Points Ahead in Purpose. Jesus’ power is found in His name which means “God saves” or ‘the Lord is Salvation.” Jesus is in the delivering business! If you feel lost today or feel you can’t make it, believe that Jesus came to find you & help you! Your home’s recovery is found in Joel 2:12-13 “Return to Me with all your heart…with fasting, weeping & mourning; and rend your heart and not your garments. Now return to your God for He is gracious & compassionate …abounding in lovingkindness.” YES…Jesus is Source of being Found & Fulfilled!
II. THE CHURCH OPERATES IN JESUS’ POWER SO YOUR BAD DAYS CAN BE OVER & GOOD DAYS ARE AHEAD!
A. JESUS offers real change here! Jesus is the SCOPE of our freedom & Fulfillment! John 8:32 says here “and you will know the truth, and the truth will make you free”! We worship on Sunday since this first day of the week was when Jesus stepped boldly into the gaping jaws of death and snatched victory from the devil and then rose from the dead. We don’t just celebrate Christmas and Easter. We celebrate “new birth” and “life transformations and resurrections” every Sunday here! Heb. 13:8 says Jesus is the
same “yesterday, today & forever”. He's the Eternal Savior, Mighty Baptizer, Great Physician, Wonderful Counselor & Miracle Worker! Rev. 1:18 shows Him holding the keys to “death, hell and the grave”! He is worthy of our allegiance since We Need God and the Church for…
• To the Discouraged, He is their Hope
• To the Sick, He is their Great Physician
• To the Hungry, He is their Bread of Life
• To the Fearful, He is their Peace & Salvation
• To the Confused, He is Direction and Life
In Jesus’ Name-Healing is Assured (Acts 3:6, 4:10, Jam. 5:14) Demons are cast out (Mark 9:38), Prayers are Answered (John 15:16) and Joy is Made Full (John 15:11)!
B. JESUS came to do a Spiritual Makeover. You need a Relationship with Jesus and a Spiritual Makeover by Him! Jesus says in John 8:36 that when He makes a person free “you will be freed indeed.” Its why We Need God and the Church for… II Cor. 5:17 “If anyone is in Christ, He is a NEW CREATION; old things pass away, behold all things become new.” Its time to pursue God, for then…
1. We are delivered from the wrath of God–Rom. 5:9
2. We are delivered from condemnation and given purpose–Rom. 8:1-2
3. We are delivered from addictions & the power of sin–Rom. 6:13-14
4. We are delivered from the power of Satan–Heb. 2:14-15. Its why you must see:
III. THE CHURCH HELPS YOU LIVE LIFE AS WE DRAW CLOSE TO JESUS’ COMING IN THE RAPTURE
