ROCK HARBOR CHURCH

This is a continuation from Brother Tanner's teaching on Sunday morning.

Pastor Jon preaches on the importance of remembering what God has done. To remember His promises. To remember He is God and know with Him all things are possible.

Brother Tanner teaches on how we as believers are to full commit ourselves to Jesus as His disciples.

Pastor Jon preaches on the thoughts we think. How we are to control them. To be renewed and have the mind of Christ.

Why are you where you are? Why do we have any of the things we have now? Its all because of Jesus.

Brother Tanner brings a Sunday school lesson on victory believers have when death was destroyed because Jesus died on the cross.

Two messages coming together, one on our faith,hope and love underfire and the other on the war in the spiritual realm we are called to fight in.

We need to wake up and see what is going on around us. To be alert to walk in the will of God. Let us pick up our armor, and be soldiers in the Lords army.

The relationships we have are important. We need to make sure the people we are close to are near to God as well. So we can grow together in love to save others to know Christ as we know Him.

The Lord calls us all to live for Him. Sometimes thats being called to go to Africa, or to preach here in America. Or maybe Hes just asking you to live a godly life right where you are. What ever it is, just be faithful to whatever He asks.

In calling yourself Christian there are some things that follow. A change in our lives, being the evidence Christ lives with in us.

Barnabas went to Antioch to see what was happening there. He saw a people walking in love. Living with the purpose of God's heart. What is the purpose of your heart?

God is the only hope for all people. We to serve God alone, not this world or the things of it. To seek God's kingdom where ever we are.

We all need encouragement especially in these times. And we all need to encourage others.

Living in sin should make us sick to our stomach. Fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom. Honoring and loving God would do us all good.

God receives honor through our devotion to Him. It is up us to live a godly lifestyle for all the world to see, and to fear the Lord as we should.

We should follow after righteousness, godliness, faith, love, patience & gentleness. Then grab hold of Jesus and never let go.

Paul lived a life that is hard to understand sometimes. The things he went through. The pain he endured for the sake of Christ. Lots of time we get a flat tire or hit a deer and think its the end of the world. We must lock in and dig in to the word and be perpaired to suffer for Christ's sake.

We all produce fruit from how we live our lives. From the things we watch, listen to and say we effect the world around us. It comes down to what is in your heart. Is it the Word of God? Or the things of this world?

The more we learn about Christ, the more we learn how to live as He lived. For He imitated Father God. We should want to do the same.

Jesus describes believers as sheep. He is our shepherd and we are His sheep. If we are His sheep can we be lost again?

How much do you value entity? How much do you appreciatethe relationship we can with God through Jesus? Is it worth letting go of things we know dont please the Lord?

We are to have the mind of Christ. To know His character and live that out for all to see. To be a good, godly influence wherever you go.

We must be careful who and what we listen to. To know our Word to know the truth. False prophets were in the time of the Bible and they are still around now. Learn God's truth and use discernment in all things.

There is so much going on in this world and in our lives. Remaining faithful in prayer and holding tight to Jesus and His Word is more powerful than we really understand.

The Holy Spirit helps us to become new. To be a living sacrifice for the Lord and all to see. So this world can see the hope that will never end that can only be found in Jesus.

We are called to live holy and loving lives. We are to learn more about God, so we call all try our hardest to please Him.

They are ways we should act. To be faithful, dependable, loving , kind. But when we are not, then there is a problem.

Yielding to God is a life long battle in for a Christian. We are to called to be a new creation, a new creature. That takes time and work on our end with the help of the Holy Spirit.

Paul was in prison in most of the books he writes. Yet he was filled with joy and continued to share Jesus with everyone. Continued to encourage others to stand firm in the faith.

Children have a responsibility to learn godly ways to live as Christians. Yet it is still up to the parents to help model a holy lifestyle for them to emulate.

Prayer, we say it all the time but how much do we do it? Do we understand the power in it? Do we see the blessing of a relationship with God? Do we know if its done properly it accomplishes much.

We all go through seasons in our lives. Some good some bad. Regardless sometimes its hard to let go of the season you are in and move on to the new one. Change is a key component to a Christian lifestyle. We must learn to let go, to grow.

Elijah had a stand off against the evil followers of Baal. Pray should be our go to in any situation. Prayer is powerful!

Parents should nurture their children in the ways of the Lord. Parents are to model a Christian lifestyle. From prayer to reading your Word and living that out before them.

Knowing we will stand before Jesus for everything we have ever done. What can we do to make sure when we see Him that He would be pleased. Having the mind of Christ is a very good start.

A continuation of this morning's message on teaching God and biblical views at home.

Parents should live by the Scriptures and communicate its truth to their family.

We are a living record. From the life we live around others. To that life lived brought up again before the King. We all need to live a life of holiness as much as we can to better serve Jesus.

This is a continuation of this morning Sunday school lesson. Ensuring we get it all. Learning to become better disciples for Christ.

Giving is hard to do sometimes. Whether it be our money, our time, or things as humans its hard to let go. Yet God gave His only Son, and Jesus gave us His everything. Shouldn't we do the same with whatever can?

Jesus prayed that we would be one with Him as He is one with the Father. As we pray that we be more like Him, likewise we should pray others do the same.

We will all go before Christ to be judged. We will all stand before the King and give account , weather it be good or bad.

As Christians we a called to tame our tongues. To not talk badly about people. We all need the Holy Spirits help to discipline our tongue.

The is a hope that can only be found in Jesus. A hope in God and His Word. Lets all share that hope with this world.

Jesus is our example of how be a servant. We need to learn from Him. Then serve those around us to the best of our abilities.

Longing to be in Gods presence should be in all our hearts. Seeking Him out and His will for our lives. Being hungry for the things of God more then the things in this world.

We should not compromise when it comes to the Word of God. God leads us in right directions, its up to us to follow. Compromise will take us off course and take us out of Gods will.

Jesus is the good shepherd and will lead us and provide for us. Remembering this will help us to see our lives through the filter of Christ and His Word.

We all deal with things that will rock us to the core. There's distractions and noise everywhere in this world. Jesus is always waiting for us to come to heal us, and use us for His Glory.

We must be perpaired. To be ready for Jesus to come at anytime, but be ready for whatever comes in our lives. That will take work on our end. To be perpaired and equipped for battle.
