"Too many buckets hide the water." God did not call us to the bondage of hatred and prejudice. It is important that we disciple people and help them to have a personal relationship with Jesus Christ. We are commanded to love, not be divided. Thank You for listening and sharing this sermon! Sermon Notes: [Romans 2:11] Bucket 1: Experience is Not an Excuse [Matthew 22:37-39] | [Matthew 28:19-20] Bucket 2: Mistaken Identity [Romans 10:8-13] [Hebrews 6:4-6] [Deuteronomy 10:17-20] [Galatians 3:26-29] [Ephesians 1:3-8a] Bucket 3: Our Identity Must Be in Our Covenant with God. [James 2:1] [Acts 10:34-36] [Galatians 5:13-14] [Galatians 5:19-21] sin of the flesh [Galatians 5:22-23] fruit of the Spirit [1 Peter 4:8] [1 John 4:15-21]

In this sermon, we walk through the Book of Jonah and see how even a prophet can be disobedient to God. We as believers may struggle with obedience to God, but we don't have to remain that way. God's way is always the best way. Thank you for listening and sharing this sermon! #LetGodWork Sermon Notes: [Jonah 4:4] 1. God Sends Storms. God appoints storms to align us with His will for our lives. Storms reveal where our faith lies. 2. God Is In Control. God appoints things, including us. God provides for our needs. [Exodus 16:31] | [Psalm 78:23-26] | [John 6:46-51] God's Will will be done whether we participate or not. 3. "Yes, You!" We are in full control of how we respond to God. God can handle us. We must check our heart. 1) God does not want us to put anything or anyone above what He commands us to do. 2) Not having details commands us to have faith in Him. It produces obedience or departure. 3) God remains faithful and can handle our doubts, fears, grief, pain, and disappointment. Whatever we have, He can handle.

Thank you for listening and sharing this sermon. This is an alternate version to a previously released version. Enjoy & #LetGodWork

Rejection is something that we all have to face and it is important that we go to God and realize that He knows exactly what is best for us. In this sermon, we look at King Saul and how his rejection of God's commands leads to his rejection from the throne. Thank you for listening and sharing this sermon! #LetGodWork Sermon Notes: [1 Samuel 15] 1) Rejection takes on different forms. 2) Rejection doesn't remove peace and value. Rejection does not remove peace and value, perspective does. 3) Rejection requires replacement.

As Christians, the last thing that we need to be is "insufferable". We are commanded to Love and be disciple making disciples. Don't let life pass you by applying bad practices of well meaning intentions. Jesus was pleasant, you should be too! Thank You for listening and sharing this podcast! [Luke 7:34-35] [Galatians 5:22-23]

Final installment to our Harlot sermon series. Obedience is necessary for us to have alignment with God. It keeps us safe, and allow us to live in the freedom that God desires for our lives. Thank You for listening and sharing this sermon! #LetGodWork [Hosea 3]

When we are not authentic, it makes it difficult to have real connection and to have healthy relationships. Technology can make us feel connected, but that is not true. Let's be authentic with each other and have honest conversations with each other. We all owe it to ourselves. Thanks for listening and sharing this podcast! #LetGodWork

Rahab was the most famous harlot in Scripture, and she has a powerful story of faithfulness and redemption. God Keeps His Promises. Despite her lifestyle, she was radically transformed by God and even in the lineage of Jesus. Thank You for listening and sharing this sermon! #LetGodWork

Despite how life is going, we know the score. That's right, we know what we are doing well and what we are either failing or just getting by with. In our walk with God, we should not live to be a "honorable mention". It is important to truly live fully for God and not take short cuts. God has more for us than we could ever imagine, but we don't get there without fully trusting God and doing what we need to do. Thank You for listening and sharing this podcast! #LetGodWork [Hebrews 1:3-4]

This sermon covers harlotry. We often don't think of this word when it comes to people of faith, but it is significant in what happens when everything else in life is more of a priority than our relationship with God. Thank You for listening and sharing this sermon! #LetGodWork Sermon Notes: [Deuteronomy 31:16] 1. We all have an Appetite. If we are not care, God will not be enough for us. 2. We Serve a Jealous God. [Exodus 34:14-17] Deception is tricky because it has a drop of truth mixed with enough poison/false information/bad intention/negativity/ spite/slander to take you out. [Deuteronomy 32:16] | [2 Corinthians 11:2-3] 3. There is No Replacement for God [Romans 6:23] Only God can save us. On Jesus paid the price for all people and all sins. Deception makes us feel needed and in the moment like we are a "good" decision-maker. We must seek God's Word and be accountable. -I know God's Word because I am reading & studying it. -I ask for help (Biblical community is for strength & correction). -God knows what's best for me and I want what God has for me. -God accepts me and that's enough (we can't follow God & not be changed). -My feelings are not decision-makers in my life, God's Word and His will for my life are. Beware! [Proverbs 7] Wiles of a Harlot

Many people struggle to define a want versus a need. We as humans have basic needs: food, water, shelter & salvations; while our wants can be endless. We dive into the difference between wants and needs and what is God's role in helping us with them both. Thank You for listening and sharing this podcast! #LetGodWork

In life, people will break trust with us. Despite how much it hurts, there is a road to better days. We must be advocates for ourselves in healing, forgiving, and moving on in life. We don't have to put or bring anyone down because of what was said or done to us. There is freedom and wholeness in what God has for us. Regardless of what happened, do the right thing. We don't lose anything that we need, and that includes people. #LetGodWork
