ROCK HARBOR CHURCH

We are created in the image of God. All life is important, and we should value it dearly.

Tonight, we listen to a message about the things ongoing in lsrael from a biblical view.

There's a skill that we all need to live. If we do not have this skill, our life will have lots of problems. That skill is wisdom.

This world and everyone in it is looking for hope. True hope only comes in Jesus. He is our anchor to heaven.

God wants us to finish life well. To live a life that brings Him honor. Keeping faith in Him and knowing God is working all things out for His glory.

Praise ushers in God's present. Praise leads to blessings, praise leads to wisdom. Praise leads to power. Praising God from your heart makes God happy. We should all praise God more.

We will all face stress and struggles. Things that will test and try to take out our faith. These times in life, we shouldn't find them strange. Contend for your faith.

There is one major this all Christians have to do... being born again. That we don't act like we used to. That we strive to change to be more like Christ.

Joseph's reconciliation with his family took years, yet God had a plan for them all. God has a plan for you, too.

We all need structure. To have a good understanding of how we are to act. We have God's word to help us and remind us of exactly how to live a life that honors the Lord.

It's important to be thirsty for the things of God. To hunger and thirst for His presence, His purpose, His Word, His ways. It's what fills us so we can help others with their thirst for the Lord.

Joseph's life was hard. Yet God was always with him through it all. Joseph knew this focused on God and giving Him all the glory.

It is important to remember where grace comes from. It's important to remember what grace actually means. True grace only comes from God.

Why do we come? Why do we come to church with the house of God? We are to come to church first and foremost, worship God Almighty and bring glory to Him. To be consumed by zeal for the house of God. The temple of God is for worship and prayer.

Part 12 of "Building a church on the inside." There are characteristics that we need to gain. To remain faithful and strive for holiness. It's important that we have good character. These are just a few of the traits we should all add to ourselves.

Keeping our faith in Jesus Christ is a vital component of being a Christian. We must trust in God's Word and all it says. Whether we can see it or not. God is working in our lives.

Life is full of struggles and hardships. We all face times when we need to hold on to God. When Jacob was coming back to the promised land, he wrestled with God. We need to be like that also. God is faithful to bring us through whatever we face.

Part 11 of "Building a church on the inside." We all need the Holy Spirit. Jesus left so He could come back to be our comforter. We are called to walk or live our lives with Him. He is our power source, our help, our teacher, our everything. He's here to help us make it to heaven and to help others get there too.

We all have been given blessings, gifts, abilities, and talents. Yet are we using them? Do we even know what they are? Are we happy with the ones we have, or are we longing for what someone else has? We all have things God has given to us. The question is, what are we doing with what has been trusted to us personally.

Courage is doing what needs to be done, even if we are afraid. We are called to love everyone just as Jesus did. That means even loving ourselves. We have to get our own hearts, minds, and thoughts lined up with the will and word of God. Self-control is key to walking in God's will and not our own. We can be our own worst enemy. We must keep our flesh in check, or the race we run could be lost.......

Part 10 of " Building a church on the inside." As Christians, we should be people of action. We can not be afraid to do what the word of God says to do. To not just say that with our words but to do it in everyday life. To have spiritual might to fight the good fight.

Part 9 of "Building a church on the inside." There's been an atmospheric extremity. There is something on the way, and it doesn't look good. Something that will shake the whole earth, and there will be nothing we can do to stop it. Be prepared now....or you might not make it... You will need persevering courage.

God promises us many things, but do we believe it? To believe believe we can have healing? Do we believe we can have peace? Do we believe we can cast out devils? What do you believe?

We give our lives to the Lord, our hearts to Him. Yet one of the most important things we can give God is our worship.
