Text: I Kings 10:1-10
Title: Solomon
Solomon was without equal but that's not the end of the story. II Kings 11:9
You can never escape the reach of sin. No possession is safe from teh robger known as sin. It'll steal your peace, happiness, family and lastly your life.
The Bible says don't look at it, touch it...if you break God's commandment that is SIN.
Sin deceives your will. He is riding high (solomon) we become discontent. Love is a matter of hte will. We decide to love somebody.
Solomon loved the wrong women. Sin deceives the will. Romans 7:18
Your "wanter" gets deceived by sin. Solomon decided to marry all of these women. Sin will destroy you - wisdom. Solomon was the wisest man, but became a fool because of sin. I Kings 11:9
Sin destroys wisdom. Sin will also decimate the body.
Sin dooms the soul of man.
The Bible is still true. The final destination of sin is death to hell. You live your life unchecked without heeding the call of God will end in destruction.
The Bible says the soul that sinneth it shall die.
Solomon didn't have to do what he did. You don't have to go to hell. You make the choice to go there. There is a remedy for sin. Proverbs 28:13
He that covereth his sins shall not prosper, but whoso confesseth and forsaketh them shall have mercy.
it takes both of those - confess and forsake. Quit!!
He wants you to come clean with Him.

Title: Whether We Grow Depends on If We are Rooted in the Right Place
Text: Isaiah 38
1. You should be rooted in Jesus Christ
*The salvation of Jesus Christ
Trust in the Lord Jesus Christ - strongly in favor of the Lord Jesus Christ
Don't settle for anything else. A lot of imposters out there. Religion puts out so many things that won't get the job done.
When did you get saved? Jan 11, 2012
2. You need to be rooted in the local church.
Men did not start the idea of the church. God did.
Do you regularly pray for your church?
We oughta pray regularly. We should contribute & serve.
3. Rooted in the law of God.
4. Retain the word of God.
5. Rely on the word of God.
6. Respond to it. God uses the preaching of the Word of God and you should move.

Text: I Corinthians 16
Title: Be Strong
Watch ye, stand fast in the faith, quit ye like men, and be strong.
Let all your things be done with charity.
The church of Corinth lived in a metropolis, a city of sin in the culture. To be a Corinthian in that phrase was an expression of immorality. Overrun by immorality. Let all that you do be done in love. This text says something to us about a world whose basis is not in truth. We believe that God wrote the Scriptures - how do we stand for truth in a place where we live in a hurricane of sin.
Five Imperatives:
Be on the alert
Stand firm in the faith
Act like men - Moral values - You can't live this way in your own strength. II Samuel 10:12
Be courageous
Love
Church is weak today in America and full of sin. We are what we are because of this culture. Corinthians were not expressing values of God.
We question God's absolute truth and in doing so we move ourselves away from God's protectionism - protective ways
Compromise - we open the door to a little bit of sin.
The dynamic we have in our nation ignores the fact that our nation was founded on values.
Voting, it shouldn't be a matter of who but what - and it should also be a matter of voting against certain values.
Be courageous - They showed great courage!!
It means something to support those who remain true to their values. Christians need to be in the battle. Prayer, perseverance, diligence - adversity makes us stronger
Unconditional love - it gives the person what is best for them not just what they want but what they need.
Doing what's best for them. That is love. Says what needs to be said for their betterment.
Discerning love - I want the best for everybody.
There is a way for a believer to love the unbelievers.
He is our example.
Be on the alert, stand firm in the faith.

Text: Proverbs 21:2, Hosea 14:9
Title: Let's Just Be Right
Being right - there's been a lot of times where we thought we were right, but we were headed in the wrong direction.
Ever been there?
The thing that should set us apart is we believe God is right. 'The ways of the Lord are right.' It's not necessary for us to understand us, but God is right.
If we are going to be right - we must be born right. It's not sufficient just to be born once. We are born sinners. All have sinned. The second birth is important. John 3
Genesis 24:48
'God led me in the right way'
I Samuel 12:23 - 25
...but I will teach you the good and the right way...
If there's a right way, there's a chance there's a wrong way
God led them forth by the right way - you have to be born right, but you also have to live right. The worst mistake you can do, is not have anything planned is to turn them loose. You need a family is to keep you right.
We are to live right - how are we to know?
God gave us the Bible - it tells us in all aspects of life. We are so determined to ignore what God says. The Bible tells how to treat each other. Be kind to each other.
You need to die right. II Tim 4:9
Demas forsook God and so did Samson
II Tim 4:6
We need to be right with other people.

Text: Judges 7:8
Title: Gideon
Gideon had a faith problem - he just needed encouragement. The battle was already won - because God said it. What Gideon needed was confidence in what God said - not our feelings. When God says to go, we ought to go. What God was fixing to do, Gideon laid out his questions for assurance. He was outnumbered 450 to 1...Whew!
The Lord knows u - He knows we lack faith. And He knows we need encouragement.
Source of encouragement - Music, the Bible
God was gonna give encouragement from the enemy.
God can work in spite of our weaknesses, limitations, and disabilities. "Everything I have, God's got it"
We worry too much about what we can't do, than what we CAN DO
Verse 15 - He worshipped God.
In life, you can have a lot of problems. But if you trust God, He will calm your fears. Every 'Christian' should be able to tell somebody else, just do what I can do.' ~ Bro. Marlon
Jesus left an example for us, and be an example for other people coming along. We need to be careful who we follow. **Who do I follow??
Timing was wonderful. Three companies split apart. "The sword of the Lord and of Gideon"
'And they stood every man in his place' - Everybody was convinced to do their job in their place. If every Christian would just step up and do their job in their place, they would be undefeatable.'
Pitchers make a great picture of us. The last thing you would carry into battle in your pitches. It couldn't be of any use unless it was broken. Our will must be broken - and once it's broken it shows commitment, no turning back and it had to be empty - empty of ourselves and filled with the Holy Spirit.

Text: Proverbs 18:14
Title: The Spirit of a Man
"The spirit of a man will sustain his infirmity; but a wounded spirit who can bear?"
Broken spirits - Exodus 7
Pharaoh's heart is hardened - he refuses to let the people go...(hmm some people refuse to let the past go)
Who was Pharaoh? The most powerful man in the world!
At some point, someone broke that boy's/girl's wounded spirit. The most wise man said we cannot bear a wounded spirit - not even the person whose spirit has been wounded.
Exodus 8:15, 9:7
Pharaoh hardened his heart again...
Exodus 9:12
The Lord hardened his heart [difference]
You can get so hardened that God will harden your heart.
LET IT GO.
Let's pray that it doesn't get to the point that the Lord hardens your heart. Exodus 9:35
The Lord hardened Pharaoh's heart.
When your heart gets hardened, something has to happen for your heart to get softened again.
We go to God when we have a broken spirit.
We need to be the most forgiving people that ever stepped on this earth.
"Casting all your cares upon Him, for He careth for you."
You've got to cast it on Him and LET IT GO.
Psalms 91:14
How do we get rid of a broken spirit? God's love
Go treat your enemies well.
Proverbs 3
God can take care of all the broken spirits in this room tonight.

It started when God began to bring me to being alone. No one to support me, and everyone turned against me that God begin to do these things into my life. GOD IS SO GOOD. Even in those dark times He has a purpose for us that we cannot see. It's when we get quiet & still and KNOW THAT HE IS GOD, that He can finally reveal His purpose to us. Just like when I have to get my arms around my kids, to get them to listen & realize who's in full control, I believe God does the same things with us. He puts His arms around us, and waits for us to stop trying with our own efforts and release it to Him. It's when we get quiet & still, and stop the freaking out, complaining, moaning, groaning, unbelief, and simply TRUST HIM. I will list sermons that God used to speak to my situation in my following blogs starting with the first one that delivered me from depression.
