ROCK HARBOR CHURCH

Part 8 of " Building a church on the inside." We gotta be careful that we don't bring things into our temple that aren't good. Into our bodies, which is a temple or the temple itself, the church. We have to be careful of Schisms, which cause divide. As Christians, we are called be non-schismatic.

We all deal with a crowd in our lives. The crowd could be a crowd, a handful of people, or even just one person. A pressure pressing against you to keep you from Jesus and what He has for you. You have to press in to get to Jesus sometimes. Even if it might mean you lose it all.

As believers, it's vitality we guard our hearts. Solomon disobeyed God and started to serve other gods. We have to remember that if we let our guards down, we could fall as well.

In part 7 of "Building a church on the inside." Pastor Jon preaches as christians, we are to be on fire for the Lord and His business. Not lazy or slothful in our actions or how we live for Jesus. We are to be boiling hot, not careless.

Today, we have a special guest Missionary, Matai, coming to speak at Rock Harbor Church.

How you treat your temple matters. You have to make room within yourself for the presence of God. What does it cost to get closer to God? How close to God do you really want to be? Are you willing to pay the price?

Part 6 of "Building a church on the inside." Fire needs 3 things to start. Fuel, oxygen, and heat. As Christians, we are to be on fire for the Lord. What happens when people see a fire truck go by? They follow it to see what's going on. So, if your church is on fire, people will come to see what's going on.

We all were darkness, yet now we are light. Walk as children of Light. Having the fruit of the Spirit growing within us. Exposing darkness and being awake to fight the good fight. Yet to so this all we have to make time for the things of God. Redeeming and making the most of the time the Lord has given us.

The Lord showed Ezekiel the valley of dry bones and asked if they could live again. God can bring life to anything He wants. God wants to breathe life into your dry places.

The building of the temple of God was a very important thing. Now we are the building, and it's up to us to build it right. We are the temple of God. The Holy Spirit lives in us as Christians. As Christians we need the Holy Spirits help to live a life that honors God.

Missionary Micah Smith from global gateway network brings the Word tonight. As Christians, it's time to move out and save souls. It's either Jesus or Caesar, it's time to choose a side. Lord help Rock Harbor Church move into this new season ready to serve You to the highest.

It is vitally important that we keep our mind set on God, what it says in His word, who He is, and what He has done in our lives. For there is a perfect peace we can all have here on Earth. If we just keep our minds focused on Him.

When Solomon became king, the Lord asked him what one thing do you want? There were many things he could have asked for but he asked for wisdom. Wisdom was something he needed to rule justly. And wisdom is something we all need to live a righteous life for God.

This is part 5 of "Building a church on the inside.." Church's need guidelines and structure. Every building has structure, foundations, and support beams, things that aren't seen but are needed. The house of God or church should be a place where we are on our best behavior. A place of honor for Jesus. Our behavior and etiquette in church should top notch.

We are at war! Some Christians don't believe it, so just blow it off. Either way it doesn't change the fact as believers, we are to walk in authority, preach the gospel, and be bearers of light in a dark world. We don't fight physically, is spirituality. Darkness doesn't have a problem standing, then why should we.....

Jesus tried to get the leaders of that day to see who He was. Yet most of them couldn't or wouldn't see it. They had a choice and we do too, will we believe?

Solomon faced a lot of opposition becoming king. People we're working behind the scenes to try to ensure someone else became king. God works all things for His good in all situations.

This is part 4 of "Building a church on the inside." Have you ever been determined to get something done. That you knew in your heart that nothing. And no one was going to stop you from your goal. Having a firmness of purpose, all in, sold out when the going gets tough, the determined keep going. This is how we should be for the gospel and for Jesus.

Sometimes things that we deal with life may create worry, whether it's our finances or our children or pain injury suffering, whatever the circumstance worry can pop-up if we let it. God promises us peace. Make sure to hold on to peace and not lose it.

As Christians, we are called to be a living sacrifices unto God, we are called to be transformed and renewed in our minds and the way that we think and perceive life.

How committed are we to following Christ? Paul laid it all down, willing to give up his own life, be put in chains, and sent to prison to eventually be executed. He gave it all to be committed to Christ. Are we committed to the gospel?

This is part 3 of "Building the church on the inside." As Christians were called to be responsible, dependable, committed, and dedicated. That we do the things that we're supposed to do and accept the results of our actions or lack of actions. We are to be wholeheartedly dedicated and committed to God. We are to be committed to be dedicated to do God's will no matter the cost..

Do you know the Way? The Way to heaven, to God, to truth and life? Jesus is the only way, there is no other way to heaven or to God. Can you truly say you know the Way? And does the Way know you?...

This is part 2 of "Building a church on the inside." As Christians, we are all called to be Christ like and to glorify God and everything. Being humble is an outward representation of an inner concern for others. Being humble doesn't mean to think less of ourselves but to think less about ourselves.

So now abide in faith, hope, and love, but the greatest of these is love. Jesus asked Peter, "Do you love me?" If you truly love someone you will show it by the way that you act and the way that you speak. We could all use more love and we could all give more love.
