Scripture: Titus 2:11-14

We hide the things that really matter beneath the surface. It is our hidden reality of the heart, our thoughts that is not what it appears to be on the surface. Those unspoken feelings, behaviors, pretenses, secrets, etc. that can hold us hostage or free us!
- Who am I on the surface and am I content to stay there, Am who I am supposed to be?
- What's going on inside is most important as it becomes an outward action
- The outward appearance of being a Christian much match what is beneath the surface by the actions we take.

When we are only Christians on the outside (Surface Christians), we lack the actual power of God that frees us from sin and produces actual fruits like love, longsuffering, etc.
- God looks on the inside and not the outward appearance
- Keep yourself in God's love as we await the eternal life that is promised to us.
- Samuel, Solomon and David reminded us of the warning about keeping your heart pure. Proverbs 4:23, Psalms 139
- Seek Godly Wisdom and allow God to do what he has planned in our lives
- Are we searching for the unseen eternal thing that God has prepared for us?

We need to move from surface to beneath the surface level in our Faith:
1: Thru Fervent Prayer (In The Spirit)
2: Confess your trespasses to one another and Pray for each other
3: Pray without Ceasing, lay it all at the feet of Christ
4: Meditate on God's Word
5: Let The Word of God dwell in you
6: True Worship avails much and must be in Spirit and Truth (John 4:24)
7: Commune with the Holy Spirit, spend time with him and listed to hear what he has to say to you. (John 16:13)

Are you ready to make a real change in your life and start living from more than a surface level Faith?

Scripture: John 17: 2-5

What does eternal life consist of? Who is it promised to?
There is a comprehensive truth to "Eternal Life". It includes:
-- Forgiveness of Sin
-- Escaping Hell
-- Securing/gaining your entrance to Heaven
-- Fellowshipping with believers
-- Forever with the Savior
-- Spiritual Gifts and Fruits

The full dimension of eternal life is "Knowing God". This is what it is all about! We are to have a growing intimacy and trust in Christ. Search the Word of God continuously for yourself.
- We have a new covenant based on an intimate relationship when we walk into his fellowship of Grace!
- We have a fellowship of his suffering, conformed unto this death and resurrection.
- Stop getting caught up in the "church world" as this hampers our walk with God.

What are you giving up to gain your freedom and life in Christ today?
** Not just a promise of release from sins. What about our stinking thinking, nasty attitudes, unforgiveness, entitlements, etc.**
---- How about your free will? Are you willing to give that back to God?

Anything that comes between your relationship with Christ presents you with a losing situation!!

*** Stop focusing on your past. There is no condemnation for those in Christ Jesus. The enemy is the accuser over your past. Leave it in the past where God put it when you accepted him as your Savior!!!

5/10/26 Message "Is It Well With You" - Minister Jennifer Flowers
Scripture: 2 Kings 4: 25-37

Are we answering honestly when something is wrong and someone ask us "how are you doing", "Is it well with you"?
- The is mystery of suffering.
- God is not offended when you question him.
- God is not taken back because you are upset that things did not work out as you taught it would.
- Be honest with yourself and with God!
- We don't follow God because we understand him, we follow God because we trust him. We don't believe because we understand. We try to understand because we believe.
- If God closes a door, he is getting ready to open another door.

Is it well with you! not your career, not your finances, your home, your material positions, but is it well with your SOUL! It is not always well with the home, the children, the job, with the family but is always well with my soul.

Sometimes you are up, down, sad, but what really counts is your soul.
- Are you saved!
- If you are not growing, then it is not well with your soul.
- As mother's always remember that you are to be the best person/woman that you can be and that you are the mother to your children and not their friend.
- Having a child does not make you a woman
- When you are too busy for your children, the world will raise them.
- We need to lead our family to church, men

As in the Bible Scripture today, the mom was asked "is it well with your child", she did not tell the truth as her son has died. Elijah saw thru the lie. God sees thru our lies, Saints!
- We teach our children many things, but did you teach your children about God.
- Your children will inherit your faith, our you foolishness and failures.
- When you know your value, you don't need anyone to validate you!

There is power in the Word of God! Make sure you teach your children God's Word so that it will be well with them.

Scripture: Psalms 96

There are many things and people in our lives that we worship without realizing the cause and effect of it for us and what we worship:
• People with Titles, money, fame, those who can give us what we want, those who we think adore us.
• Then we move into things: Jewelry, best house on the block, best clothes, car, most money, best kids, perfect family.
These unfortunately are all for appearance only! The same people we are worshipping have lives full of hurt, mistrust, misery, anger, resentment, broken homes, who themselves are exhausted from having to keep up with pretenses.

What happens to the car or house that you idolized when it is destroyed by a thief, a wreck, fire, flood or any natural disaster? The Lord humbles us Saints!!!
- Do you know that you take The Holy Spirit go with you into all the fires and the place you put yourself like the red-light district, the dope houses. When you walk into sin, you take him with you.
- As you make decisions in you life, will God be edified or mortified?

To worship something is to prize it above everything else. To honor it as the thing of highest importance and to act accordingly. Worship is when we give our deepest affection and highest praise to something.

In the Bible, worship is defined as the whole-person, heartfelt submission, adoration, and service to God, encompassing internal reverence and external actions like prayer, praise, obedience, and sacrifice. His worthiness is more than just songs; it's a life posture of valuing, treasuring, and obeying God in every aspect, including righteous living and caring for others and as a weapon in our arsenal.

What Worship Looks Like:
• Internal: A heart posture of awe, love, gratitude, and satisfying one's soul in God.
• External Actions:
- Prayer, singing, Scripture reading, partaking of the Holy Sacraments of Communion. Participation in Baptism, giving grace, mercy, and caring for the needy (Isaiah 58:6-7, James 1:27).
- Living as a "living sacrifice," dedicating one's whole life and resources to God (Romans 12:1).

Why should we Worship God? He gave up his Son for you; he deemed you worthy to be saved and to live with him in Heaven.

Worship is the ultimate response to God's holiness and love, a complete surrender of oneself to Him. True worship of God is when we love Him with all our heart, soul, mind, and strength. It’s when we prize God above everything else and put Him first in our hearts. Deuteronomy 6:4-5

Worship as Homage or Grateful Submission to God - It involves responding to the Spirit he gives to transform our hearts and lives. The Father is seeking “true worshipers” who “will worship the Father in the Spirit and in truth. In (John 14:6

Worship as Service to God – is a lifestyle of obedience to God such as servanthood, showing love in action (1 John 4:20). A total Surrender of our will, talents, and life to God to serve His purpose. It is Sacrificial which involves dedicating our time, energy, and resources to God.

Worship as Reverence or Respect for God – it is a profound admiration for God's greatness, recognizing Him as a "consuming fire". Heartfelt reverence includes listening, thinking on the things of God, and feeling respect, love, and honor toward our Heavenly Father and His Son, Jesus Christ.

Worship as A Weapon:
Worship is considered a spiritual weapon in the Bible, used to invite God’s presence, break chains:
• Shifting Focus: Worship shifts focus from fears to God’s power, bringing breakthrough in tough circumstances.
• Declaring & Securing Victory: It is used as a battle cry before victory is seen, demonstrating faith.
• Overcoming Despair: In trials, worship is a means to gain strength, as seen in Habakkuk 3:17-19

We need to change our attitudes towards worship and praise. It must be purposeful and not halfhearted, filled with emptiness and hollow attempts to sound important. Worship combines love and reverence in a state of devotion that draws our spirits closer to God.”
- It must be from the heart, Spirit filled with true love for God/Jesus/The Holy Spirit.
- Ask the Lord, to set you apart for his glory, for his use. We need to ensure that others see God in us.
- Worship is rooted in recognizing God as Creator and King, which naturally leads to service

Scripture: Psalms 96 There are many things and people in our lives that we worship without realizing the cause and effect of it for us and what we worship:• ...

4/26/26 Message - "The Coming Of The Holy Spirit" by Pastor Rose Pitts

Scripture: Acts 2:1-14

The Holy Spirit is our Helper, Our Comforter. He will intervene in every situation concerning us.
- We are more concerned about the natural things of this earth when God is teaching about the importance of Spiritual things.
- We let things around us distract us from the things of God.
- Let us not be as concerned about seasons but the fact that the Holy Spirit has given us Blessings, Power that we can draw upon in times of distress.
- We are called to Preach and Teach what we have been taught.

Are we in a place of one accord and expectation to receive from the Holy Spirit? Those present when the Holy Spirit descended were waiting with an attitude of expectation. Tongues is the evidence that the Spirit is present as it flows from inside to outside.

The Process:
* You must first believe then you will receive.
* You must be Spiritually alert to know that the Spirit is in our midst.
* If we believe, we must accept and believe everything and not just pieces
* We are then inspired to go and tell the whole world.

There are many Spirits at work in the body of Christ. Discernment is needed and if it goes against the will of God, we must correct it.
- We are sealed with the Holy Spirit of Promise
- Nothing can touch you unless you allow it.
- Walk by the Spirit so you will not carry out the desires of the flesh!
- It is the flesh that dictates our actions
- Fleshly things are put to death by the Spirit
- Maybe does not exist with the Holy Spirit

***As Sons of God, we have Rights and no longer can be held in the bo***ge of fear***

4-19-26 Message "Walking In The Power of The Resurrection" by Pastor Yvonne Smith

Scripture: Luke 22:14-20

We serve a Risen, Triumphant, Living Lord Jesus! His resurrection is tied to our story of Grace, which is pointed out in "The Last Supper".

- Resurrection is link with the new covenant of Grace.
- Jesus' sacrifice for sin was accepted by his Father.
- God's grace was poured out on all who would believe in the Lord Jesus Christ.
- Jesus is the object of our Faith!
- We need to wield this power of the "Holy Spirit", we received from the resurrection given to us 50 days after he rose from the dead.
- The sting of sin is death but the gift of God is eternal life.

We need to be rooted, grounded, built us, immovable, firmly persistent in the power and the Word of the Lord.
- the enemy will continuous try to persuade you from what you know so we need to be like the Bereans and seek the truth by going into the Word of God daily for ourselves.
- Live by God's wisdom and not man's
- Let nothing move you (Acts 24:24)

Spiritual virtues should be developing in our lives by the grace of the Lord at work. We've got to do the work and start walking in the power of the resurrection of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ!
