Sermon Note
Pastor Lawrence
All the promises of God are yes and amen!
What is the kingdom of God?
Kingdom of God is not eating or drinking but righteousness peace and joy
Peace in the middle of storm
Joy in the middle of circumstances that might not be good
Jesus is the resurrection and the life.
In 2025 whatever is dead in your life, Jesus is the resurrection and the life!
That which is dead will come alive!
Your marriage, physical body, will come to live!
We used to believe God for great things
We had visions in our hearts how our lives can be.
You have been disappointed. The hope you used to have has died.
This year the year of 3rd Day speaks of resurrection. You will hope again! You will dream again! Your dream will come alive!
It has nothing to do with your physical age.
It has everything to do with your faith in Jesus Christ.
May your hope comes alive! May you start dreaming again!
Caleb did not choose the easy route. He chose a mountain to conquer. He wanted a challenge. Especially is for God.
Don’t let age determine what you can do or cannot do.
Let your faith be in Jesus Christ.
There is many more lands for you to possess.
Caleb had spirit of adventure.
Doing things that are difficult.
Iron can only be made into sword through fire.
When you enter the fiery trial of life, you can use it as weapon.
All of us have our share of trouble
What is your attitude when it comes?
Let it come and overcome it in Jesus’s name!
Face the mountain and conquer it.
Face the giant and slay it.
Don’t be afraid when challenges in life come. It is bread for you! It will strengthen you!
Come what may, the Lord is for you!
If God is for you, what is there to fear?
Look to Him! He has done it for His Abraham He will do for you
Bodily exercise profits little, but still pick it up. Why not?
Godliness is profitable unto all things
What is Godliness?
Godliness is Jesus Christ and Him crucified
Spirit will tell you what to do and how to do
Jesus said where two or three are gathered together, there He is in the midst
Your miracle is found in your mouth
God will use you to prophesie
Start to believe God for great things.
Jesus is the first fruit who has resurrected from the dead.
Romans 4:25 NKJV
25 who was delivered up because of our offenses, and was raised because of our justification.
He paid the price for our sins.
You have been made righteous
You have been justified
Your sins are forgiven
You become the righteousness of God in Christ
1 Corinthians 15:3-4 NKJV
3 For I delivered to you first of all that which I also received: that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures,
4 and that He was buried, and that He rose again the third day according to the Scriptures,
Most important truth!
Jesus the Son of God died for our sins. He was buried and raised from the 3rd day!
1 Cor 15:17 (ESV)
And if Christ has not been raised, your faith is futile and you are still in your sins.
There is no high that can bring you out
I have loved you with an everlasting love
God drew us back to Him
Romans 10:1-4 NKJV
1 Brethren, my heart’s desire and prayer to God for Israel is that they may be saved.
2 For I bear them witness that they have a zeal for God, but not according to knowledge.
3 For they being ignorant of God’s righteousness, and seeking to establish their own righteousness, have not submitted to the righteousness of God.
4 For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to everyone who believes.
God’s righteousness is a gift!
Become the righteousness of God by believing in Christ!
We have all sinned
By our own works we cannot
Faith will keep you!
The just shall live by faith!
Everyday believe what Jesus has done
You are the righteousness of God in Christ!
It is God who justifies!
We are the righteousness of God in Christ! There is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ!
You allow yourselves to feel condemn
Forgive them for they know not what they are doing. Godly sorrow has its benefit.
By faith believe we are forgiven
God wants you to live above your struggle.
A life of constant dependents
Today you have new identity.
You are a new creation!
The righteous man is a happy man!
Romans 6:5-8 NKJV
5 For if we have been united together in the likeness of His death, certainly we also shall be in the likeness of His resurrection,
6 knowing this, that our old man was crucified with Him, that the body of sin might be done away with, that we should no longer be slaves of sin.
7 For he who has died has been freed from sin.
8 Now if we died with Christ, we believe that we shall also live with Him
Righteousness apart from works,
Justification by faith
Your sins can be forgiven but you are still a sinner
Blessed is the man to whom the Lord shall not impute sins
Would you let your faith arise and see what God sees you
You are a new creation!
Ephesians 4:22-24 NKJV
22 that you put off, concerning your former conduct, the old man which grows corrupt according to the deceitful lusts,
23 and be renewed in the spirit of your mind,
24 and that you put on the new man which was created according to God, in true righteousness and holiness.
Put on the armour of faith by believing the gospel.
By faith! The just shall live by faith
You are created. Truly holy!
Realise you are the righteousness of God in Christ and you put away lying
Walk in light as children of light
We are as righteous as God
He made Him who knew no sin to become sin at the cross
You are the righteousness of God in Christ
You are a royal priesthood
Rise up!
You can truly start living!
