6/23/2024 morning worship service Pastor Anthony Fields " "How Close To Salvation Are Our Loved Ones" Every true Christian has concern for the salvation of loved ones. Romans 10:8-11: "⁸ But what does it say? "The word is near you, in your mouth and in your heart" (that is, the word of faith which we preach): ⁹ that if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. ¹⁰ For with the heart one believes unto righteousness and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. ¹¹ For the Scripture says, "Whoever believes on Him will not be put to shame." ........how close are your loved ones to salvation? FIRST, IT DEPENDS ON THEIR SPIRITUAL INPUT SECOND, IT DEPENDS ON YOUR INTERCESSORY PRAYER LIFE. THIRD, IT DEPENDS ON THE ATMOSPHERE IN GOD'S HOUSE WHEN YOUR LOVED ONES ATTEND. Your loved ones may not be not far, perhaps just off shore. As the end draws near, let us do everything possible to win them to Christ." _____________________ "Lord, you have brought us safely out of our Egypt and prepared a table before us in the presence of our enemies. Have mercy on us today that we might not be overwhelmed by evil attacks or distracted by bad thoughts, but humbly trust in your power to save. Amen." ___________________ " "Think on This: Possess Not Only Profess" "For whosoever has, to him shall be given, and he shall have more abundance." Matthew 13:12 – When the Lord has given to a man much grace He will give him more. A little faith is a nest egg; more faith will come to it. But then it must not be seeming faith, but real and true. What a necessity is laid upon us to make sure work in religion, and not to profess much, and, possess nothing! for one of these days the very profession will be taken from us, if that be all we have. The threatening is as true as, the promise. Blessed be the Lord, it is His way when He has once made a beginning to go or bestowing the graces of His Spirit, till He who had but little, and yet truly had that litle, is made to have abundance. Oh, for that abundance! Abundance of grace is a thing to be coveted. It would be well to know much, but better to love much. It would be delightful to have abundance of skill to serve God, but better still to have abundance of faith to trust in the Lord for skill and everything, OH Lord, since You have given me a sense of sin, deepen my hatred of evil. Since You have caused me to trust Jesus, raise my faith to full assurance. Since You have made me to love You, cause me to be carried away with vehement affection for You!" ___________________ " "God Rescued You for a Relationship" Psalms 40 You work hard to stay ahead of the obligations, but cost of living grows and you feel the weight of the debt hanging over your head like a great stone suspended by a mere thread. Unlike these financial obligations, when God saves us, there is no form of repayment required from us. Do you ever feel like you owe God something? Why is that? What are some ways we try to pay God back for salvation? Who do you know who needs to hear the good news of God's love? Ask God for an opportunity to share your story with that person this week."
