I. ARE YOU SURE YOU HAVE EXERCISED FAITH IN GOD?
A. It is by faith that we are saved. Acts 16.31
Ephesians 2:8-9 (NKJV)
8 For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves;
it is the gift of God,
9 not of works, lest anyone should boast.
B. Christ dwells in our hearts by faith
Ephesians 3:17 (NKJV)
17 that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith; that you, being rooted and grounded in love,
C. The Life of the believer is a life of faith
Galatians 2:20 (NKJV)
20 I have been crucified with Christ; it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me; and the
life which I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself for me.
II. WE OVERCOME THE WORLD BY FAITH
1 John 5:4 (NKJV)
4 For whatever is born of God overcomes the world. And this is the victory that has overcome the world—our
[a] faith.
A. By faith we stand in the hour of testing II Corinthians 1:24
Romans 11:20 (NKJV)
20 Well
said. Because of unbelief they were broken off, and you stand by faith. Do not be haughty, but fear.
B. We walk by faith
2 Corinthians 5:7 (NKJV)
7 For we walk by faith, not by sight
C. The Just shall live by taith Hebrews 10:38
Romans 1:17 (NKJV)
17 For in it the righteousness of God is revealed from faith to faith; as it is written, “The just shall live by faith.”
D. We resist the devil by faith
1 Peter 5:8-9 (NKJV)
8 Be sober, be vigilant; because
[a] your adversary the devil walks about like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour.
9 Resist him, steadfast in the faith, knowing that the same sufferings are experienced by your brotherhood in the world.
E. By faith we have access to God-yes into the very holiest Hebrews 10:19,20
Ephesians 3:12 (NKJV)
12 in whom we have boldness and access with confidence through faith in Him.

1 Timothy 6:12 (NKJV)
12 Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, to which you were also called and have confessed the good confession in the presence of many witnesses.
G. By faith we run the race
Hebrews 12:1-2 (NKJV) Therefore we also, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which so easily ensnares
us, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us,
2 looking unto Jesus, the author and finisher of
our faith, who for the joy that was set before Him endured the cross, despising the shame, and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.
III. WHATSOEVER IS NOT OF FAITH IS SIN
Romans 14:23 (NKJV)
23 But he who doubts is condemned if he eats, because
he does not
eat from faith; for whatever
is not from faith is sin.

THE HARVEST 3-4-18
WHY WITNESS? Mark 16:15, 2 Corinthians 1:17
2 Timothy 4:1,2
1 Thessalonians 2:4 (NKJV) 4 But as we have been approved by God to be entrusted with the gospel, even so we speak, not as pleasing men, but God who tests our hearts.
GOD TELLS US TO Jeremiah 20:9, Acts 4:20
1 Corinthians 9:16 (NKJV) 16 For if I preach the gospel, I have nothing to boast of, for necessity is laid upon me; yes, woe is me if I do not preach the gospel!
Matthew 4:19 (NKJV) 19 Then He said to them, “Follow Me, and I will make you fishers of men.”
FAITH BY HEARING THE WORD Ephesians 1:13, Psalm 119:130
1 Peter 1:23
Romans 10:17 (NKJV) 17 So then faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.
John 5:24 (NKJV) 24 “Most assuredly, I say to you, he who hears My word and believes in Him who sent Me has everlasting life, and shall not come into judgment, but has passed from death into life.
IT GLORIFIES GOD WHEN WE WITNESS John 16:13,14
John 15:8 (NKJV) 8 By this My Father is glorified, that you bear much fruit; so you will be My disciples.
Acts 1:8 (NKJV) 8 But you shall receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you; and you shall be witnesses to Me in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth.”
REWARDS FOR THOSE WHO WITNESS Daniel 12:3
Proverbs 11:30 (NKJV) 30 The fruit of the righteous is a tree of life, And he who wins souls is wise.
1 Thessalonians 2:19 (NKJV) 19 For what is our hope, or joy, or crown of rejoicing? Is it not even you in the presence of our Lord Jesus Christ at His coming?
WHO SHOULD? 2 Corinthians 3:12
2 Corinthians 4:3-6 (NKJV) 3 But even if our gospel is veiled, it is veiled to those who are perishing, 4 whose minds the god of this age has blinded, who do not believe, lest the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine on them. 5 For we do not preach ourselves, but Christ Jesus the Lord, and ourselves your bondservants for Jesus’ sake. 6 For it is the God who commanded light to shine out of darkness, who has shone in our hearts to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ.
THE GREAT COMMISSION Mark 16:15-18, Luke 24:46-48
Matthew 28:16 (NKJV) 16 Then the eleven disciples went away into Galilee, to the mountain which Jesus had appointed for them.
John 17:18 (NKJV) 18 As You sent Me into the world, I also have sent them into the world.
John 20:21 (NKJV) 21 So Jesus said to them again, “Peace to you! As the Father has sent Me, I also send you.”
Acts 1:8 (NKJV) 8 But you shall receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you; and you shall be witnesses to Me[ in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth.”
Isaiah 6:1- 8 (NKJV) 6 In the year that King Uzziah died, I saw the Lord sitting on a throne, high and lifted up, and the train of His robe filled the temple. 2 Above it stood seraphim; each one had six wings: with two he covered his face, with two he covered his feet, and with two he flew. 3 And one cried to another and said: “Holy, holy, holy is the Lord of hosts;
The whole earth is full of His glory!” 4 And the posts of the door were shaken by the voice of him who cried out, and the house was filled with smoke. 5 So I said: “Woe is me, for I am undone! Because I am a man of unclean lips,
And I dwell in the midst of a people of unclean lips; For my eyes have seen the King, The Lord of hosts.” 6 Then one of the seraphim flew to me, having in his hand a live coal which he had taken with the tongs from the altar. 7 And he touched my mouth with it, and said: “Behold, this has touched your lips; Your iniquity is taken away, And your sin purged.” 8 Also I heard the voice of the Lord, saying: “Whom shall I send, And who will go for Us?” Then I said, “Here am I!

Ephesians 3:16-19 (NKJV) 16 that He would grant you, according to the riches of His glory, to be strengthened with might through His Spirit in the inner man, 17 that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith; that you, being rooted and grounded in love, 18 may be able to comprehend with all the saints what is the width and length and depth and height— 19 to know the love of Christ which passes knowledge; that you may be filled with all the fullness of God.

WORSHIP 2-18-18
I. WHAT PEOPLE WORSHIP
Romans 1:19-23 (NKJV) “ because what may be known of God is manifest in them, for God has shown itto them. 20 For since the creation of the world His invisible attributes are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even His eternal power and Godhead, so that they are without excuse, 21 because, although they knew God, they did not glorify Him as God, nor were thankful, but became futile in their thoughts, and their foolish hearts were darkened. 22 Professing to be wise, they became fools, 23 and changed the glory of the incorruptible God into an image made like corruptible man—and birds and four-footed animals and creeping things.”
II. WHERE PEOPLE WORSHIP
John 4:23-24 (NKJV) “ But the hour is coming, and now is, when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth; for the Father is seeking such to worship Him. 24 God is Spirit, and those who worship Him must worship in spirit and truth.”
III. HOW YOU SHOULD WORSHIP PSALM 29:1-11
1. Because he is God, Supremacy over Heavenly beings v. 1,2
2. The Lord’s Supremacy of the forces of nature v. 3-9
3. The Lord’s Supremacy over humanity. v. 10-11
IV. WHY WE SHOULD WORSHIP
John 14:7-11 (NKJV) 7 “If you had known Me, you would have known My Father also; and from now on you know Him and have seen Him.” 8 Philip said to Him, “Lord, show us the Father, and it is sufficient for us.” 9 Jesus said to him, “Have I been with you so long, and yet you have not known Me, Philip? He who has seen Me has seen the Father; so how can you say, ‘Show us the Father’? 10 Do you not believe that I am in the Father, and the Father in Me? The words that I speak to you I do not speak on My own authority; but the Father who dwells in Me does the works. 11 Believe Me that I am in the Father and the Father in Me, or else believe Me for the sake of the works themselves.”

JESUS SUPERIOR TO:
Father's and Prophets
Hebrews 1:1-2 (NKJV) 1 God, who at various times and in various ways spoke in time past to the fathers by the prophets, 2 has in these last days spoken to us by His Son, whom He has appointed heir of all things, through whom also He made the worlds;
Angels
Hebrews 1:4 (NKJV) 4 having become so much better than the angels, as He has by inheritance obtained a more excellent name than they.
Moses
Hebrews 3:3 (NKJV) 3 For this One has been counted worthy of more glory than Moses, inasmuch as He who built the house has more honor than the house.
Better Than Rest
Hebrews 4:1 (NKJV) Therefore, since a promise remains of entering His rest, let us fear lest any of you seem to have come short of it. 9 There remains therefore a rest for the people of God. 10 For he who has entered His rest has himself also ceased from his works as God did from His.
Who better to understand us than any earthly priest?
Hebrews 4:15-16 (NKJV) 15 For we do not have a High Priest who cannot sympathize with our weaknesses, but was in all points tempted as we are, yet without sin. 16 Let us therefore come boldly to the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy and find grace to help in time of need.

Adultery begins in the heart. Matthew 5:28 (NKJV) 28 But I say to you that whoever looks at a woman to lust for her has already committed adultery with her in his heart.

ACTION PLAN TO BE CHRISTLIKE 1-14-18
I. HUMILITY
A. Jesus was
Philippians 2:5-8 (NKJV) 5 Let this mind be in you which was also in Christ Jesus, 6 who, being in the form of God, did not consider it robbery to be equal with God, 7 but made Himself of no reputation, taking the form of a bondservant, and coming in the likeness of men. 8 And being found in appearance as a man, He humbled Himself and became obedient to the point of death, even the death of the cross.
John 13:12-17 (NKJV) 12 So when He had washed their feet, taken His garments, and sat down again, He said to them, “Do you know what I have done to you? 13 You call Me Teacher and Lord, and you say well, for so I am. 14 If I then, your Lord and Teacher, have washed your feet, you also ought to wash one another’s feet. 15 For I have given you an example, that you should do as I have done to you. 16 Most assuredly, I say to you, a servant is not greater than his master; nor is he who is sent greater than he who sent him. 17 If you know these things, blessed are you if you do them.
B. We humble to God
Romans 6:13 (NKJV) And do not present your members as instruments of unrighteousness to sin, but present yourselves to God as being alive from the dead, and your members as instruments of righteousness to God.
II. ONENESS WITH GOD THROUGH JESUS John 17
A. Jesus prayer to the Father
B. They all may be one John 17:20-24
CHRISTLIKE

I. THE GOAL----“CHRISTLIKEâ€
Philippians 3:14 (NKJV) “I press toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus.â€
A. True Discipleship
Philippians 2:9-11 (NKJV) 9 Therefore God also has highly exalted Him and given Him the name which is above every name, 10 that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of those in heaven, and of those on earth, and of those under the earth, 11 and that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.
1. We will be with Jesus
2. We will be like Jesus
1 John 3:2 (NKJV) 2 Beloved, now we are children of God; and it has not yet been revealed what we shall be, but we know that when He is revealed, we shall be like Him, for we shall see Him as He is.
II. ACTION PLAN---“HOW?â€
Hebrews 12:1-2 (NKJV) 12 Therefore we also, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which so easily ensnares us, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us, 2 looking unto Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith, who for the joy that was set before Him endured the cross, despising the shame, and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.
A. Set Priorities---“Throw off what hinders usâ€
1. Seek (Aim at and strive for)
Matthew 6:33 (NKJV) 33 But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you.
B. Purity---“The sin which so easily ensnares usâ€
C. Surrender---“Run with endurance the race that is set before usâ€

WHAT ARE YOU BUILDING? 12-3-17
I. Explanation Hebrews 6:4-9
A. Those who think they lose salvation
John 10:27-28 (NKJV)
27 My sheep hear My voice, and I know them, and they follow Me. 28 And I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish; neither shall anyone snatch them out of My hand.
1. It is eternal life Romans 8:1; 33, 34-39
I John 5:13
John 3:36 (NKJV) He who believes in the Son has everlasting life; and he who does not believe the Son shall not see life, but the wrath of God abides on him.â€
B. Only those who profess
II. The Interpretation
A. Rewards
1. Judgement Seat of Christ I Corinthians 3:11-15
B. Fruit—Good Works
Titus 3: 5, 8 (NKJV) (5) Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to His mercy He saved us, through the washing of regeneration and renewing of the Holy Spirit, (8) This is a faithful saying, and these things I want you to affirm constantly, that those who have believed in God should be careful to maintain good works. These things are good and profitable to men.
III. Warning Hebrews 6:6
A. Fall Away
B. Sacrificing Jesus
IV. Build on Foundation
1 Corinthians 3:11 (NKJV) 11 For no other foundation can anyone lay than that which is laid, which is Jesus Christ.
1. What material are YOU using?
Hebrews 6:4-9
4 For it is impossible for those who were once enlightened, and have tasted the heavenly gift, and have become partakers of the Holy Spirit, 5 and have tasted the good word of God and the powers of the age to come, 6 if they fall away,[a] to renew them again to repentance, since they crucify again for themselves the Son of God, and put Him to an open shame.
7 For the earth which drinks in the rain that often comes upon it, and bears herbs useful for those by whom it is cultivated, receives blessing from God; 8 but if it bears thorns and briers, it is rejected and near to being cursed, whose end is to be burned.
9 But, beloved, we are confident of better things concerning you, yes, things that accompany salvation, though we speak in this manner.
John 10:27-28
27 My sheep hear My voice, and I know them, and they follow Me. 28 And I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish; neither shall anyone snatch them out of My hand.
Romans 8:1
1 There is therefore now no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus,[a]who do not walk according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit
Romans 8:33 Who shall bring a charge against God’s elect? It is God who justifies
Romans 8:34-39 Who is he who condemns? It is Christ who died, and furthermore is also risen, who is even at the right hand of God, who also makes intercession for us.
35 Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword?
36 As it is written: “For Your sake we are killed all day long;We are accounted as sheep for the slaughter.â€
37 Yet in all these things we are more than conquerors through Him who loved us.
38 For I am persuaded that neither death nor life, nor angels nor principalities nor powers, nor things present nor things to come,
39 nor height nor depth, nor any other created thing, shall be able to separate us from the love of God whic
1 John 5:13 These things I have written to you who believe in the name of the Son of God, that you may know that you have eternal life,[a] and that you may continue tobelieve in the name of the Son of God.
1 Corinthians 3:11-15
11 For no other foundation can anyone lay than that which is laid, which is Jesus Christ.
12 Now if anyone builds on this foundation with gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, straw,
13 each one’s work will become clear; for the Day will declare it, because it will be revealed by fire; and the fire will test each one’s work, of what sort it is.
14 If anyone’s work which he has built on it endures, he will receive a reward.
15 If anyone’s work is burned, he will suffer loss; but he himself will be saved, yet so as through fire.
Titus 3:5 Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to His mercy He saved us, through the washing of regeneration and renewing of the Holy Spirit,
Titus 3:8 This is a faithful saying, and these things I want you to affirm constantly, that those who have believed in God should be careful to maintain good works. These things are good and profitable to men.
Hebrews 6:6 If they fall away,[a] to renew them again to repentance, since they crucify again for themselves the Son of God, and put Him to an open shame.
1 Corinthians 3:11 For no other foundation can anyone lay than that which is laid, which is Jesus Christ.
