2. .......God cannot be MOCKED. A man REAPS what he SOWS. Galatians 6:7 NIV v 9 "Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the PROPER TIME we will reap a harvest if we do not give up." v 8 The harvest is either destruction or eternal life. **There is always a proper/set time for reaping what what one sows. It may be a 'short' period or a 'long' period.....but it's the RIGHT time before God** **Principle of Sowing & Reaping** 3. 4.

MATTHEW 24:4 ......"Watch out that no one deceives you". **Deception usually has a grain of truth or half - truth** 1. Deception of Humanism: a). Trying to elevate man to the status of God....a lie that man can determine his own destiny without involving God. The same old lie that Satan used against Adam & Eve that they could be like God - all knowing. “For God knows that when you eat from it your eyes will be opened, and you will be like God,

False teachers 1 John 4:1 Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are from God, for many false prophets have gone out into the world. Romans 16:18 for such people do not serve our Lord Christ but their own appetites. They deceive the hearts of the unsuspecting with smooth talk and flattering words. Ephesians 5:6 Don’t let anyone deceive you with meaningless words. It is because of sins like these that God’s

A COMMUNITY OF FAITHFUL STEWARDS God has been in business of giving - first promise, his son & everything etc. The best we can give God is our hearts. ***Good stewardship helps us to realise that everything we have is not ours. We are just managers of God given resources who will one day give an account*** God’s money not my money, God willing not my time…………………… Psalms 50: 9 – “I have no need of a bull from your stall or

1) Genesis 9:20-26 - Noah became drunk; the result was immorality and family trouble. 2) Genesis 19:30-38 - Lot was so drunk he did not know what he was doing; this led to immorality. 3) Leviticus 10:9-11 - God commanded priests not to drink so that they could tell the difference between the holy and the unholy. 4) Numbers 6:3 - The Nazarites were told to eat or drink nothing from the grape vine. 5) Deuteronomy 21:20 - A drunken son was stubborn

You cannot run away from the Lord. Jonah was called to go and preach again Nineveh wickedness, but instead RAN away from the Lord ("so he thought"). But Jonah ran away from the Lord and headed for Tarshish. He went down to Joppa, where he found a ship bound for that port. After paying the fare, he went aboard and sailed for Tarshish to flee from the Lord. Jonah 1:3 *He even paid his own FARE to facilitate his running away* Some are looking for this

As the year 2021 comes to an end we have all the reasons to thank God who has carried us by his wings of grace for one purpose – to bring us closer to himself for fellowship. In Exodus 19:4, He told Moses, “You yourselves have seen what I did to Egypt, and how I carried you on eagles’ wings and brought you to MYSELF”. When we fell - He lifted us up When we lost hope – He gave us hope When we felt lost – He brightened our paths When we

One day Jesus revealed to Peter that he would be martyred for his faith. Peter immediately pivoted to John and said, “What about him, Lord?” (John 21:21 NLT). Then Jesus gave an amazing response: “If I want him to remain alive until I return, what is that to you? As for you, follow me” (verse 22 NLT).
