What the Bible says about Gods’ Word:

Psalm 119:105. God’s word is a lamp unto our feet

John 1:1. The word of God is the beginning and the end of truth.

Isaiah 40:8. The grass withers and the flowers fade but the word of our God will last forever.

Luke 11:28. Hear the word of God and keep it and blessings are His promise.

The promises made in the written Holy Word of God

Life – Matthew 16-24-25. Eternal life is found in surrounding to Jesus as our Lord and Savior.

You find life when you stop pursuing it for yourself and pursue God’s purpose which is why you were created.

Acceptance – John 6:37. Jesus will never reject you if you seek him.

Seek and you shall find. Knock and the door will be Open.

Reward – Mark 10:29-31. Those who sacrifice to follow Jesus will receive rewards on earth and for the age to come.

Those who are patient in trials and tribulations will see great rewards

Following Jesus requires sacrifice. There are times when the immediate benefit of going our own way may appear to outweigh the potential gains of obedience. Jesus wants us to know that our sacrifices aren’t in vain and there’s nothing we can surrender that exceeds what’s attained in following him.

Revelation – John 14:21. Obeying God’s word leads to God revealing himself to you personally.

Friendship with God – John 15:14-15. Jesus call us friend

Joy - John 15:9-11. Joy comes from knowing Jesus by the leading of the Holy Spirit.

Jesus promises us that joy is a byproduct of remaining in God’s love.

Trials – 2 Timothy 3:12. Trials are part of the Christian journey that leads into breakthrough and victory.

Matthew 5:10-11. Blessed are those who are persecuted because of righteousness.

Conclusion:

Gods word is truth and the truth will set us free. Trust

God’s word shows us that the peace and joy and acceptance and reward the world is looking for is found in the name of Jesus Christ. Trust

Trust: The Big Picture Belongs to God

July 28, 2024 • Elias Ozuna

Main Point: God commands us to trust him with the Big Picture of our lives because his ways are better than our ways. Surrender to God’s will for your life. Foundation Scripture: Jeremiah 29:11. God’s plans are to give you hope and a future according to His Kingdom purposes God’s Kingdom Purpose: Proverbs 19:11. Many are the plans of a man’s heart but it is the Lord’s purpose that prevails. There are souls that do not want God’s Kingdom purpose because it disrupts their prideful plans for their life. Once we surrender to the fact that we were created for Kingdom purpose and that is the only place to find true hope and fulfillment in this life, then the supernatural journey begins. Surrender to God’s beautiful purpose for your life. There is so much joy there. The Big Picture Belongs to God Genesis 12:1-5. Abraham is given a promise but he was not given clarity on the big picture of his journey. Abraham tries to help God fulfill his promise of a great nation and his seed numbering the stars Genesis 15: 1-6. Abraham offers God a solution for being a great Nation. God clarifies his promise of a seed. Genesis 15:5. God illustrates his promise of a seed that will be as many as the stars. Sarah also tries to help God fulfill his promise. The Promise Fulfilled Genesis 21:1-7. Abraham and Sarah have a son, named Isaac, in their old age. God keeps his promises. Trust-The big picture of my life belongs to God Focus on the thing things you can control and enjoy the supernatural journey. God is good. Summary: God made Abraham a promise. Abraham wanted to see the big picture (his seed numbering the stars) so he offered to help God with his promise. Don’t make it happen on your own Wait for God to open doors and close doors Focus on what you can control Proclaim Jesus is Lord of your life The secret place True Praise and Worship Read God’s Word Be faithful and serve a church Pray, Pray, Pray

Trust: God’s Promises Never Die - Part 4

August 18, 2024 • Elias Ozuna • Acts 1:8, Romans 15:13, John 14:27, 1 John 1:9, 1 Corinthians 1:27

Main Point: Let your hope arise. God’s promises never die so let God’s people abound in hope. Promise of Redemption/Salvation John 3:16. God promises eternal life for all who call Jesus’ savior and Lord. Promise of Power from the Holy Spirit Acts 1:8. Christians are destined to be empowered by the Holy Spirit to accomplish the great plans God has for each one of us. Pastor’s Thoughts: The Key to being empowered by the Holy Spirit is our willingness to surrender our ways and allow God to fill us with his ways by the Holy Spirit. The secret place (a place where you and God are alone) is a good place to know God and be filled by his Spirit. The alter is a good place to surrender unto God and be filled by his Spirit Do not be afraid to surrender unto God’s will. It is in surrender that you find freedom to walk into your true Destiny. There is only one true destiny. That is in the will of God for your life. Promise of Peace and joy through the Christian journey Romans 15:13. When God fills you with joy and peace by the Holy Spirit, you abound in hope. John 14:27. Jesus informs his disciples that Peace that the world does not comprehend will be with them. Promise of God’s Glory manifested thru Instruments like us. 1 Corinthians 1:27. God chose the weak things of this world to show those who think there strong the truth of God. 2 Corinthians 12:9. God’s power is made perfect thru weak/flawed instruments who are surrendered to God. Your mistakes and weaknesses cannot stop God’s promise of redemption and peace and joy. 1 John 1:9. If we confess our sins, God is faithful and just to forgive us. Pastor’s Thoughts: Why is it just for God to forgive us of our sins? Because the sinless blood of Jesus covers our sins. If God planned a way thru Jesus for us to be forgiven, why would he stop there? Next step is for Christians who are forgiven by the blood of the Lamb to be empowered ambassadors for God’s Kingdom. That’s why we praise him. God’s promises never die. The deal is still on. Abraham and Sarah, even after all their mistakes; God fulfilled his promise to them. And if God needs to do signs and wonders to fulfill his promise. He will show you a miracle.
