The Gift of God

Introduction: This time of the year a lot of people are expecting gifts.  We seem to get consumed in the secular way of giving.  In this brief outline I would like to mention a spiritual gift. John 3:16  For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. And Romans 6:23 For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord. These scripture pass...

 Thanksgiving

Text: Psalms 107:1-2 O give thanks unto the LORD, for he is good: for his mercy endureth for ever. Let the redeemed of the LORD say so, whom he hath redeemed from the hand of the enemy;

Introduction: When we think of thanksgiving, we think of one day we spend time with family or friends and have turkey, dressing and all of the trimmings. When really we should be thankful to God all year long.  I would like to share a few reasons why.

1)      Before we pray.

Philippians 4:6 B...

ARE YOU ABOUT YOUR FATHER’S BUSINESS?

Introduction: In these last days are we about our father in heavens’ business?

Look at what Jesus says about this even as a child.

Text: Luke 2:48-49 And when they saw him, they were amazed: and his mother said unto him, Son, why hast thou thus dealt with us? behold, thy father and I have sought thee sorrowing. And he said unto them, How is it that ye sought me? wist ye not that I must be about my Father's business?

*Romans 15:6 That ye may...

WITHOUT A VISION

Introduction; People are dying a going to hell in droves and a lot of churches do not have a soul winning programs.  What’s wrong with that picture? I am glad to say that we are a soul winning church.  Let us look at what the scripture says.   Proverbs 29:18 Where there is no vision, the people perish: but he that keepeth the law, happy is he.  1 Samuel 3:1 And the child Samuel ministered unto the LORD before Eli. And the word of the LORD was precious in those days; there ...

JESUS WILL GET RID OF YOUR SIN

1) THE LORD WILL NOT REMEMBER THEM;

Jeremiah 31:34  And they shall teach no more every man his neighbour, and every man his brother, saying, Know the LORD: for they shall all know me, from the least of them unto the greatest of them, saith the LORD: for I will forgive their iniquity, and I will remember their sin no more.

2) THE LORD WILL COVER THEM;

Psalms 32:1 <<A Psalm of David, Maschil.>> Blessed is he whose transgression is forgiven, whose sin is cov...

It’s Harvest Time

Text: Matthew 9:37-38 Then saith he unto his disciples, The harvest truly is plenteous, but the labourers are few; Pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest, that he will send forth labourers into his harvest. And Luke 10:2 Therefore said he unto them, The harvest truly is great, but the labourers are few: pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest, that he would send forth labourers into his harvest.

The Power of God unto Eternal Life

Text: 1 John 5:11 And this is the record, that God hath given to us eternal life, and this life is in his Son.

Romans 1:16-17 For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek. For therein is the righteousness of God revealed from faith to faith: as it is written, The just shall live by faith.

I) The Power of God unto Salvation;

Romans 1:16 For I...

SPIRIT AND TRUTH

Introduction; A lot of people tell me Bro. Bailey we do not understand the Bible.  My friends I will tell you if you are truly Born Again the same Holy Ghost that indwells you is the same Holy Ghost that influenced men of God to speak God’s Holy word in Bible times that we read about in our Holy Bible.  2 Peter 1:21 For the prophecy came not in old time by the will of man: but holy men of God spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost.  Therefore, the Spirit of Truth the (...

Don’t Settle for Less

Introduction; So many Christians today settle for the norm.  We are comfortable with religion and casual worship.  I want to progress myself.  The word of God says; Philippians 3:13-14  Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended: but this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before, I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.  I believe this takes action on ...
