Find The One

Find the One

In John 10:10 Jesus said the thief comes to steal kill and destroy, but I have come to give life and life abundantly.

1. Pursue

. Song of Solomon 3:4I have found the one whom my soul loves

Song of Songs 1:12 While the king was at his table, my perfume spread its fragrance.

Song of Songs 2:2 Like a lily among thorns
is my darling among the young women.
3 Like an apple[a] tree among the trees of the forest
is my beloved among the young men.
I delight to sit in his shade,
and his fruit is sweet to my taste.
4 Let him lead me to the banquet hall,
and let his banner over me be love.

2. Jesus

2 Corinthians 61:4-15 14 Do not be yoked together with unbelievers. For what do righteousness and wickedness have in common? Or what fellowship can light have with darkness? 15 What harmony is there between Christ and Belial[a]? Or what does a believer have in common with an unbeliever?

3. Observe

Song of Songs 1:6 Do not stare at me because I am dark,
because I am darkened by the sun.
My mother’s sons were angry with me
and made me take care of the vineyards;
my own vineyard I had to neglect.

Song of Songs 1:9-10 I liken you, my darling, to a mare
among Pharaoh’s chariot horses.
10 Your cheeks are beautiful with earrings,
your neck with strings of jewels.

Galatians 5:22 says, “The fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control.”

4. Counsel

Proverbs 24:6, “Surely you need guidance to wage war,
and victory is won through many advisers.”

Song of Songs 1:4b, “We will praise your love more than wine. She How right they are to adore you!”

Song of Songs 6:1 Where has your beloved gone, most beautiful of women? Which way did your beloved turn, that we may look for him with you?

5. Purpose

Amos 3:3"Can two people walk together without agreeing on the direction?"

Ephesian 2:10 - For we are God’s masterpiece. He has created us anew in Christ Jesus, so we can do the good things he planned for us long ago.

6. Purity

Song of Songs 2:7b, “Do not arouse or awaken love until is so desires.”

Proverbs 3:6- Trust in the Lord with all your heart
and lean not on your own understanding;
6 in all your ways submit to him,
and he will make your paths straight.

Be The One

August 22, 2021 • Pastor Allen Bonnell

Be the One “The good man brings good things out of the good treasure of his heart, and the evil man brings evil things out of the evil treasure of his heart. For out of the overflow of the heart, the mouth speaks.” Luke 6:45 1. Family Matters. 2 Kings 14:2-6 2 Amaziah He was twenty-five years old when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem twenty-nine years. His mother’s name was Jehoaddan; she was from Jerusalem. 3 He did what was right in the eyes of the Lord, but not as his father David had done. In everything he followed the example of his father Joash. 4 The high places, however, were not removed; the people continued to offer sacrifices and burn incense there. 5 After the kingdom was firmly in his grasp, he executed the officials who had murdered his father the king. 6 Yet he did not put the children of the assassins to death, in accordance with what is written in the Book of the Law of Moses where the Lord commanded: “Parents are not to be put to death for their children, nor children put to death for their parents; each will die for their own sin. “And Joash did what was right in the eyes of the LORD all the days he was instructed by Jehoiada the priest.” 2 Kings 12:2 2. Show me your friends and I’ll show you your future. 1 Kings 12:6-11 6 Then King Rehoboam consulted the elders who had served his father Solomon during his lifetime. “How would you advise me to answer these people?” he asked. 7 They replied, “If today you will be a servant to these people and serve them and give them a favorable answer, they will always be your servants.” 8 But Rehoboam rejected the advice the elders gave him and consulted the young men who had grown up with him and were serving him. 9 He asked them, “What is your advice? How should we answer these people who say to me, ‘Lighten the yoke your father put on us’?”10 The young men who had grown up with him replied, “These people have said to you, ‘Your father put a heavy yoke on us, but make our yoke lighter.’ Now tell them, ‘My little finger is thicker than my father’s waist. 11 My father laid on you a heavy yoke; I will make it even heavier. My father scourged you with whips; I will scourge you with scorpions.’” 3. Tear Down the High Places. 2 Kings 18:2-4 Hezekiah was twenty-five years old when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem twenty-nine years. His mother’s name was Abijah daughter of Zechariah. 3 He did what was right in the eyes of the Lord, just as his father David had done. 4 He removed the high places, smashed the sacred stones and cut down the Asherah poles. He broke into pieces the bronze snake Moses had made, for up to that time the Israelites had been burning incense to it.” His Grace > My Past

Know The One

August 15, 2021 • Pastor Allen Bonnell • Ecclesiastes 12:9–14

The One Ecclesiastes 12:9-14 Hevel - meaningless, smoke, or vapor. “Although a wicked person who commits a hundred crimes may live a long time, I know that it will go better with those who fear God, who are reverent before him.” —Ecclesiastes 8:12 “Not only was the Teacher wise, but he also imparted knowledge to the people. He pondered and searched out and set in order many proverbs. 10 The Teacher searched to find just the right words, and what he wrote was upright and true. 11 The words of the wise are like goads, their collected sayings like firmly embedded nails—given by one shepherd.[a] 12 Be warned, my son, of anything in addition to them. Of making many books there is no end, and much study wearies the body. 13 Now all has been heard; here is the conclusion of the matter: Fear God and keep his commandments, for this is the duty of all mankind. 14 For God will bring every deed into judgment, including every hidden thing, whether it is good or evil.” —Ecclesiastes 12:9-14 “Everyone ought to examine themselves before they eat of the bread and drink from the cup. 29 For those who eat and drink without discerning the body of Christ eat and drink judgment on themselves. 30 That is why many among you are weak and sick, and a number of you have fallen asleep.” —1 Corinthians 11:28
