If you put your hand to the plough don’t turn back. The Egyptians complained and looked back after the exodus. Lot’s wife looked back. What would attract me back? Many participate but how many stay and are committed?

We are going to get new clothes. All things are naked and exposed to God. His wife is making herself ready – arrayed in fine linen. Are we living examples – would people want to emulate me? Be prepared to withstand – stay close to God. Are we deceiving ourselves? Don’t measure ourselves amongst ourselves. Be purified and made white, refined in the fire. Everyday life is the wedding rehearsal.

The peculiar or special treasure is something that God is looking for, to acquire as a possession. Israel was a special treasure. We may forget God but He doesn’t forget us. There are promises of blessing for obedience.

Nothing is covered that will not be revealed. Some sins are evident and some will be revealed later. All secrets come to light. Everything whispered will be heard aloud. Jesus was a light in this dark world. We must look at ourselves. There is no hiding from God. The eyes of the Lord are in every place, keeping watch over evil and good.

We live in a world that has a great deal of intolerance and hatred, and iniquity certainly abounds as Christ said it would. Given this, we need to recognize the emotional pitfalls that can bring us to the breaking point, pitfalls such as: having hurt feelings, being offended, being competitive, feeling jealous, having envy, and being judgmental toward others. How can we avoid these pitfalls? By acquiring the Godly trait of mercy. Learn how in this important message.

How can we have peace of mind in a world where this is no peace? Only through God’s Spirit opening our mind to understand the way of peace. We who have God’s Spirit are responsible for producing fruits of the Spirit, and peace is one of those fruits. If we do what God has called us to do, we will have peace.

Do you have an attitude of gratitude? Or do you bemoan your circumstances, failing to see what to be thankful for? This sermon will inspire you to see just how much you have to be thankful for, no matter your situation. Christ was thankful to God, His Father, and since Christ is our example, we also need to be thankful to God, our Father. If we don’t learn this, we are in danger of falling away from the truth.

Before God called us, our eyes were fixed on the world and its ways. Once God reveals His truth to us, everything we do should glorify God, not self. Mankind has repeatedly rejected revealed knowledge throughout the generations, and when they do, idolatry sets in. Learn in this sermon the many ways idolatry manifests itself, even in the way we conduct our daily lives.

We all have carnal nature and we all have been influenced by the world, but man cannot please God in his unconverted state. Are we progressing in our conversion and exhibiting the fruits of God’s Spirit, or do we linger when it comes to changing our lives? Learn in this sermon how we can overcome our own human nature, the environment we live in, and Satan’s influence on us.
