SUNDAY SERVICE HIGHLIGHTS

SUBJECT: Righteousness
SERMON BY: Ps Carrol

She opened the book of Proverbs 15:9 where it reads:
"The LORD detests the way of the wicked, but he loves those who pursue righteousness."

"As Christians, we must always persue righteousness, but before we can pursue righteousness, we need to define it and understand it because you can never persue something you don't understand.

The word righteousness can also mean justness or divine holiness. In the broadest sense, righteousness can be defined as the condition of being acceptable to God as made possible by God. God’s standard is what defines true righteousness; His power is what enables. To be righteous is to be right with God. A heart that is right with God results in a life that bears fruit, Galatians 5:22-23 lists some of these fruits.

Today brethren i encourage you to persue righteousness.
To pursue righteousness means we must recognize that we cannot please God in our sinful state. We turn from trying to justify ourselves by our good deeds and instead seek the mercy of God. We desire that He transform our minds and conform us to the image of His Son. In the Old Testament, men were declared righteous when they believed God and acted on it. Before Pentecost, people pursued righteousness by keeping God’s Law, seeking holiness, and walking humbly with God. No one was justified by rule-keeping but by the faith that enabled them to obey God. Likewise, today we are justified by the faith that leads us to Jesus. Those who are in Christ continue seeking God in order to please Him. When we come to faith in Christ, He gives us the Holy Spirit who empowers us to pursue righteousness for its own sake. He commands us to walk in the Spirit. Walking in the Spirit means we live a lifestyle of total surrender to the Lordship of Jesus Christ. We cultivate the ability to hear God and the habit of obeying His voice in everything....." said Ps Carrol.

We were so blessed.

OUR THURSDAY LESSON
SUBJECT: ABRAHAMIC FAITH

GENESIS 12:1-3
The LORD had said to Abram, ‘Leave your country, your people and your father's household and go to the land I will show you. I will make you into a great nation and I will bless you; I will make your name great, and you will be a blessing. I will bless those who bless you, and whoever curses you I will curse; and all peoples on earth will be blessed through you’".

God calls Abraham out from his home in Haran and tells him to go to a land that He will show to him. God also makes three promises to Abraham: 1) The promise of a land of his own; 2) the promise to be made into a great nation; and 3) the promise of blessing. These promises form the basis for what will later be called the Abrahamic Covenant (established in Genesis 15 and ratified in Genesis 17). What really makes Abraham special is that he obeyed God. Genesis 12:4 records that, after God called Abraham, he went “as the LORD had told him.” The author of Hebrews uses Abraham as an example of faith several times, and refers specifically to this impressive act: “By faith Abraham, when called to go to a place he would later receive as his inheritance, obeyed and went, even though he did not know where he was going” (Hebrews 11:8).

How many of us would leave behind everything that is familiar to us and just go without knowing our destination? The concept of family meant everything to a person living in the time of Abraham. In that time, family units were strongly knit; it was unusual for family members to live hundreds of miles apart from each other. In addition, we’re not told anything about the religious life of Abraham and his family prior to his calling. The people of Ur and Haran worshiped the ancient Babylonian pantheon of gods, in particular the moon god, Sin, so God called Abraham out of a pagan culture. Abraham knew and recognized the call of Yahweh, the LORD, and obeyed willingly, not hesitantly.

Have a strong faith as Abraham's faith when he had to trust God to show him the way. Bless You.
Ps Carrol.
