“For he who sows to his flesh will of the flesh reap corruption, but he who sows to the Spirit will of the Spirit reap everlasting life.” Galatians 6:8

is enmity against God; for it is not subject to the law of God, nor indeed can be”. Romans 8:7

“But what things were gain to me, these I have counted loss for Christ.
8 Yet indeed I also count all things loss for the excellence of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord, for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and count them as rubbish, that I may gain Christ” Philippians 3:7-8
C.
The rewards Matthew 16:27
“Let not your heart be troubled; you believe in God, believe also in Me.
2 In My Father’s house are many
[a]mansions; if
it were not
so, [b]I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you.
3 And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and receive you to Myself; that where I am,
there you may be also.” John 14:1-3
“who also said, “Men of Galilee, why do you stand gazing up into heaven? This
same Jesus, who was taken up from you into heaven, will so come in like manner as you saw Him go into heaven.” Acts 1:11
“Now I saw heaven opened, and behold, a white horse. And He who sat on him
was called Faithful and True, and in righteousness He judges and makes war.” Rev 19:11
a
. Judgement Seat of Christ 1 Corinthians 3:11-15
“For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ, that each one may receive the things
done in the body, according to what he has done, whether good or bad.” 2 Cor 5:10
b.
Great White Throne
“Then I saw a great white throne and Him who sat on it, from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away. And there was found no place for them.
12 And I saw the dead, small and great, standing before
[a]God, and books were opened. And another book was opened, which is
the Book of Life. And the dead were judged according to their works, by the things which were written in the books.
13 The sea gave up the dead who were in it, and Death and Hades delivered up the dead who were in them. And they were judged, each one according to his works” . Rev 20:11-13

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! Send me.”

TWO MOUNTAINS 7-22-18
Hebrews 12:18-29
I.
Mount Sinai Hebrews 12:18-22, Exodus 19:16
Deuteronomy 4:11-13
A. The Israelites thought it was terrifying. Verse 12:20 is quoted from Deuteronomy 5:23-24
Deuteronomy 5:23-24 (NKJV)
23 “So it was, when you heard the voice from the midst of the darkness, while the mountain was burning with fire, that you came near to me, all the heads of your tribes and your elders.
24 And you said: ‘Surely the Lord our God has shown us His glory and His greatness, and we have heard His voice from the midst of the fire. We have seen this day that God speaks with man; yet he
still lives.”
Exodus 19:12-13 (NKJV)
12 You shall set bounds for the people all around, saying, ‘Take heed to yourselves
that you do
not go up to the mountain or touch its base. Whoever touches the mountain shall surely be put to death.
13 Not a hand shall touch him, but he shall surely be stoned or shot
with an arrow; whether man or beast, he shall not live.’ When the trumpet sounds long, they shall come near the mountain.”
Exodus 19:19 (NKJV)
19 And when the blast of the trumpet sounded long and became louder and louder, Moses spoke, and God answered him by voice.
B. Even Moses was terrified: Verse 12:20 was quoted from Deuteronomy 9:19
Deuteronomy 9:19 (NKJV)
19 For I was afraid of the anger and hot displeasure with which the Lordwas angry with you, to destroy you. But the Lord listened to me at that time also.
II.
Mount Zion Hebrews 12:23-29
Galatians 3:10-12 (NKJV)
10 For as many as are of the works of the law are under the curse; for it is written, “Cursed
is everyone who does not continue in all things which are written in the book of the law, to do them.”
11 But that no one is
[a]justified by the law in the sight of God
is evident, for “the just shall live by faith.”
12 Yet the law is not of faith, but “the man who does them shall live by them.”
A. Zion Isaiah 46:13
Psalm 132:13-14 (NKJV)
13 For the Lord has chosen Zion; He has desired
it for His
[a]dwelling place:
14 “This
is My resting place forever; Here I will dwell, for I have desired it.
Zechariah 2:10 (NKJV)
10 “Sing and rejoice, O daughter of Zion! For behold, I am coming and I will dwell in your midst,” says the Lord.
B. Heavenly City Revelation 21:1-22:5
Revelation 21:1 -2; 10 (NKJV) Now I saw a new heaven and a new earth, for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away. Also there was no more sea.
2 Then I,
[a]John, saw the holy city, New Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband.
10 And he carried me away in the Spirit to a great and high mountain, and showed me the
[a]great city, the
[b]holy Jerusalem, descending out of heaven from God,
III.
Warnings Hebrews 12:25
A. Verse 27 is a quote from Haggai 2:6
Haggai 2:6 (NKJV)
6 “For thus says the Lord of hosts: ‘Once more (it
is a little while) I will shake heaven and earth, the sea and dry land;
2 Peter 3:10-13 (NKJV)
10 But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night, in which the heavens will pass away with a great noise, and the elements will melt with fervent heat; both the earth and the works that are in it will be
[a]burned up.
11 Therefore, since all these things will be dissolved, what manner
of persons ought you to be in holy conduct and godliness,
12 looking for and hastening the coming of the day of God, because of which the heavens will be dissolved, being on fire, and the elements will melt with fervent heat?
13 Nevertheless we, according to His promise, look for new heavens and a new earth in which righteousness dwells.

B. All are tempted—nothing new
1 Corinthians 10:13 (NKJV)

VICTIM OR TO BE THE VICTIM 9/9/18
1 Peter 2:20 (NKJV)
20 For what credit
is it if, when you are beaten for your faults, you take it patiently? But when you do good and suffer, if you take it patiently, this
is commendable before God.
Isaiah 55:8-9 (NKJV)
8 “For My thoughts
are not your thoughts,
Nor
are your ways My ways,” says the Lord.

as the heavens are higher than the earth,
So are My ways higher than your ways,
And My thoughts than your thoughts.

6 being confident of this very thing, that He who has begun a good work in you will complete
it until the day of Jesus Christ;

6 I marvel that you are turning away so soon from Him who called you in the grace of Christ, to a different gospel,
Galatians 1:9 (NKJV)
9 As we have said before, so now I say again, if anyone preaches any other gospel to you than what you have received, let him be accursed.
Psalm 27:13-14 (NKJV)
13 I would have lost heart, unless I had believed
That I would see the goodness of the Lord
In the land of the living.
14 Wait
[a] on the Lord;
Be of good courage,
And He shall strengthen your heart;
Wait, I say, on the Lord!

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.
