Ephesians 2:8-10:  "For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God— not by works, so that no one can boast. For we are God’s handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do." Tonight I want to talk about Christians to be equipped and accountable. If you go home and 'google ' verse 10 of Ephesians, you will find it says it is a masterpiece.  God says who I am.  A lot of times when things go wrong we ring someone and complain.   Go first to God and talk to him about to.  Whoever you are, whatever job or position you have, you are first and foremost a minister of God. What matters is what you've done with the Lord.  Not material things.  Life changing truth about you:  you are a minister of God. Ministry is not worship, music; it about loving people.  Practice what God has given to you. 1 Peter 4:10 - Each of you should use whatever gift you have receive

Justification and Santification Romans 3:12 "Dear friends, you always followed my instructions when I was with you. And now that I am away, it is even more important. Work hard to show the results of your salvation, obeying God with deep reverence and fear. For God is working in you, giving you the desire and the power to do what pleases him."   Philippians 2:12-13 3 kinds of love: Romantic love- attachment Responding love - thankful and responding Agape love - your salvation; God saus,  "I will pay the price for" We not talking about earning our salvation through efforts.  This is a wordly thinking.  God is not in the business of insurance but assurance. Sin is sin; no matter how big or small. You need to reconnect with God.   The wonderful news is when you are a Christian; because you have God, Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit in your life, you can do good works. Ephesians 2: 8-10 :  "For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this is

Disciples use discipline in their lives- in response to Jesus. 3 types of love; in English we only one word but other languages have more than one word: Romantic love Responding love Sacrificial love  (agape) We want to grow up to the full stature of being a mature person. Habits: 1.  Christ in my life; my time 2.  Put Christ first in relationships 3.  Put Christ first in financial 4.  Put Christ first in prayer. Time: James chapter 1:22-25 "But prove yourselves doers of the word [actively and continually obeying God’s precepts], and not merely listeners [who hear the word but fail to internalize its meaning], deluding yourselves [by unsound reasoning contrary to the truth]. For if anyone only listens to the word without obeying it, he is like a man who looks very carefully at his natural face in a mirror; for once he has looked at himself and gone away, he immediately forgets what he looked like. But he who looks carefully into the perfect law, the law of liberty, an

Listen to my prayer, O God, And do not hide Yourself from my plea. Listen to me and answer me; I am restless and distraught in my complaint and distracted Because of the voice of the enemy, Because of the pressure of the wicked; For they bring down trouble on me, And in anger they persecute me. My heart is in anguish within me, And the terrors of death have fallen upon me. Fear and trembling have come upon me; Horror has overwhelmed me. And I say, “Oh, that I had wings like a dove! I would fly away and be at rest. “I would wander far away, I would lodge in the [peace of the] wilderness. Selah. “I would hurry to my refuge [my tranquil shelter far away] From the stormy wind and from the tempest.”  Confuse [my enemies], O Lord, divide their tongues [destroying their schemes], For I have seen violence and strife in the city. Day and night they go around her walls; Wickedness and mischief are in her midst. Destruction is within her; Oppression and deceit do not depart from her streets and m
