I could stand here and plea with you .And beg you but unless the Holy spirit draws you. Unless the movement of the holy spirit is in this place. We would have nothing more than a social hour I dont know about you but i think its time the church has church again .We have sat back and got comfortable. Full of complaints and ridiculous behavior has been introduced into the body of Christ even before the first American church was ever formed in 1610 I’m sure they said things like .I wish the preacher wasn't so long winded I wish we didn't stand so much It suddenly became about Self desires and comfort. But the reality is this we shouldn't be comfortable at all When the Holy spirit shows up he is our comforter and conviction should be followed by repenting followed by that Actually being Christ like The church has become this people pleasing self seking thing. It's a hospital for the sinner

A sanctuary for the lonely

A place a refuge forn the hurting

It’s a place where people are trained up and sent out to share the Gospel

It’s not a place of

Gossip

Condemning

Back biting

Slandering

Hateful

Ungratefulness
And pride

I have a question that I want you to answer it to yourself and search your heart while I present the Gospel to you this morning What Do you Know? Know this very thing. Knowing Jesus is one of the most important decisions of our lives but it isn't just praying a prayer Its living a life holy surrender a life sold out to Jesus. It's not traditional church membership however that's important I'm a big advocate of Incorporated Worship

Our Scripture comes from

1. Philippians 3 Verse 8-10

In this Chapter of Jeremiah we see a phrase here that we are going to pull from but first I want to give some context to this verse. The prophet Jeremiah received this message from God in 608 B.C.E., during. the reign of King Zedekiah. Jeremiah had foretold that Jerusalem would fall and that Zedekiah would be taken captive. Since the king did not like the message, he had Jeremiah taken into custody.-Jeremiah 32:1-5; 33:1;37:21.It was in these circumstances that God extended the invitation found at Jeremiah 33:3.Unfortunately, King Zedekiah and most of the nation persisted in their rebellion. (eremiah 7:26; 25:4) They did not call on God, seeking his direction. Almost a year later, Zedekiah wasoverthrown, Jerusalem was destroyed, and most of the survivors were captured and taken to Babylon.-Jeremiah 39:1-7.Jeremiah gives this instruction from the lost and thrown into a dungeon cell in prison. And like many of us we are bound in chains because we simply want listen to Gods instructions

Colossians 2:1-7

The pressing in. Luke 8:43-48


When we think of the woman with the issue of blood we are so quick to focus in on her Touching the hem of his Garment that we miss something. She had Done everything physically possible .She went to the doctors She did all she knew to do .But she knew if she could just get to the Border the wing of his Garment it would all be over. She didn’t think she wait she didn’t hang on and see if a gap would be made she pressed in

Fishing is unpredictable. There is no guarantee of reward. It requires patience and risk. In faith, the fishermen would throw their nets into the deep water, letting it sink into the lake out of sight, and hoping that the reward for their efforts would be a catch. And the end results would either be a good catch or maybe a no catch kindaDay. Christianity isn’t just a fishing story it’s a time of throwing the nets and waiting. It’s a time of using the proper bait, See the proper bait will cause you to get the right thing your fishing for. Jesus calls James and John They left their father Zebedee, To follow Jesus are you. willing to leave the things the stuff and follow Jesus.

Luke Chapter 14:26-29

Would it not be a shame that we would spend our whole lives facing the fact that we did not count the cost of following Jesus? When we get to a certain point in our walk with Christ we realize that there are changes that have to be made.Following Christ and the Grace of Jesus Christ demands change it requires change. Change will cost you something. See often times we hear it doesn’t cost a thing to follow Jesus. Costly grace is the gospel which must be sought again and again and again, the gift which must be asked for, the door at which a man must knock. Such grace is costly because it calls us to follow Jesus .. Dietrich Bonhoeffer….
