Bust Up In Your Life

I know I don't have much of a message today, but my only question is"what are you going to do about Jesus"  He has done all that needs to be done for you and 'IT IS FINISHED".  Now the ball in is in your Court, yeah the Shoe is on the other foot now;  "NOW" "what are you going to do about Jesus".  Throw your hands up right now and give Him your heart.   Take it from this not so perfect but heart rendered COG-------Jesus does Body of Christ GOOD!!!!

Everlasting Doors

Through the month of July I have had the joy of preaching about the Doors of God.  Somehow that message evolved into Visions & Dreams.  So this past week I had one of my favorite Ministry opportunities to share the combo message together.  Rev. 3:8,20 Jesus sets before us an Open Door, no man can shut; in John 10:7 Jesus says I am the Door, every other way is a thief and robber; in Exodus 33:8-9 Moses would go out to talk with God in the Tabernacle and when Moses entered the Door, the cloudy pillar of God would drop down out of sky and stand at the Door and when the people standing in their tent doors saw the cloudy pillar drop, they would fall down at their tent doors and worship God while Moses talked with God; in Psalms 24:6-9 Davids sings "Lift up your Head of ye gates, and be Lifted up, ye everlasting Doors, and the King of Glory shall come in, "Who is this King of Glory", the Lord, strong and mighty, the Lord mighty in battle.  Jesus declared He was "the" Door, and if you will be like Him in the earth, you must be a door also to help people, friends, family, co-workers, society, "All Men/Women" find their door to Jesus.  So while you read this short message, ask Jesus right now to make your Heart an everlasting Door so that the King of Glory may come in.  Then that light of glory will shine bright enough that people all around you can find their Open Door, Hope Door, their Everlasting Door to Jesus....

Money, Sex, & Sin

The forbidden zone of preaching:  The three topics above are taboo and forbidden sermon subjects today especially in the African American church world, and in the church world in general for that matter.  First, everyone needs more money so even though none of you like to talk about it because some think its the only subject that Church leaders, Pastors and Preachers are concerned about----the truth is that all of us need more of it.  Every day for some of every thing.  So why are we having such a tough time talking about it.  The next big unspeakable subject is Sex.  All of us have done it, will do it, or are doing it and many of us are on the wrong side of it.  Yes it is a touchy subject, but someone has to say something.  Everyone in the world except Adam, Eve and our savior Jesus Christ are a product of sexual intercourse so why do we struggle to talk about it.  If we (preachers included) just work to get on the right side of it, we would be the better for it..  Then all have sinned and come short of the glory of God.   So we get upset when preachers step on our toes about sin, but truth is all of us have some area of sin that we must ask God to forgive us of...That's why we need to talk about sin, because if we don't talk to God or somebody about sin and forgiveness, then we won't be forgiven of the sins that all of us have some of.  So tell God all about it, and sometimes, find someone you can really trust, and tell them too...RY
