Pastor Joe

1 Peter 1:2 (NLT)  Blessed by God²  God the Father knew you and chose you long ago, and his Spirit has made you holy. As a result, you have obeyed him and have been cleansed by the blood of Jesus Christ. May God give you more and more grace and peace.
God decided to allow into his family those who would believe on Jesus- see John 3:16
God Spirit will make us holy, if we ask Him.
Are we holy?
If we are saved we can be- God help us.
If we are holy we will obey God
That must be the problem of many- they are not holy.
God loves to give good gifts to us-do we want them?
Will we accept them?
Do we have the peace of God?
It is available
Pastor Joe

Go for check up this morning
Hope to visit some buddies later
Matthew 6 study tonight
Enjoyed preaching to teen boys at the camp last night

Romans 16:23 (NLT)   ALL GLORY TO GOD²³  Gaius says hello to you. He is my host and also serves as host to the whole church. Erastus, the city treasurer, sends you his greetings, and so does our brother Quartus.


Romans 16:25-27 (NLT)
²⁵  Now all glory to God, who is able to make you strong, just as my Good News says. This message about Jesus Christ has revealed his plan for you Gentiles, a plan kept secret from the beginning of time.
²⁶  But now as the prophets foretold and as the eternal God has commanded, this message is made known to all Gentiles everywhere, so that they too might believe and obey him.
²⁷  All glory to the only wise God, through Jesus Christ, forever. Amen.
GOD BLESSES US- GLORY
THANK YOU LORD
GOD HELPS US-GLORY
GOD SAVES US THROUGH FAITH IN HIS SON JESUS
GOD DESIRES THAT WE OBEY HIM
DO WE?
GOD IS DUE GLORY, HONOR, AND PRAISE
GOD IS WISE
TRUST HIM
MAY IT BE SO

HAVE A BLESSED DAY

Romans 16:17-20 (NLT)   AVOID¹⁷
 And now I make one more appeal, my dear brothers and sisters. Watch out for people who cause divisions and upset people’s faith by teaching things contrary to what you have been taught. Stay away from them.
¹⁸  Such people are not serving Christ our Lord; they are serving their own personal interests. By smooth talk and glowing words they deceive innocent people.
¹⁹  But everyone knows that you are obedient to the Lord. This makes me very happy. I want you to be wise in doing right and to stay innocent of any wrong.
²⁰  The God of peace will soon crush Satan under your feet. May the grace of our Lord Jesus be with you.
AVIOD SOME PEOPLE AND SOME THINGS AND SOME PLACES
WE DON'T HONOR THE LORD BY HANGING OUT WITH THE DEVIL AND HIS CROWD

THANKS
PASTOR JOE

ART CLASS TONIGHT
HAD EYES CHECKED YESTERDAY
VERY LITTLE CHANGE
GOOD REPORT
TO SEE BOB TODAY
HE WILL COME HOME ON THE 25-WOW!

Romans 15:25-27 (NLT)   WHAT DOES OUR MONEY SAY ABOUT US?²⁵  But before I come, I must go to Jerusalem to take a gift to the believers there.
²⁶  For you see, the believers in Macedonia and Achaia have eagerly taken up an offering for the poor among the believers in Jerusalem.
²⁷  They were glad to do this because they feel they owe a real debt to them. Since the Gentiles received the spiritual blessings of the Good News from the believers in Jerusalem, they feel the least they can do in return is to help them financially.
A BIG QUESTION TODAY
WHAT DOES OUR MONEY SAY ABOUT US?
HOW DO WE SPEND OUR MONEY?
THE WAY WE SPEND OUR MONEY REVEALS SO MUCH ABOUT US AND OUR VALUES
WEEKLY HOW DO WE SPEND?
FOOD- WE LOVE IT
AUTO
HOUSE
FAMILY
FUN
CHURCH
A MAN TOLD ME LONG AGO HE THITHED 10% OF WHAT HE HAD LEFT IF ANY
GOD BLESSES US SO WE CAN BLESS OTHERS
ARE WE A GIVER?
ARE WE SELFISH?
GOD HELP US
WHO DO WE REALLY LOVE
IS GOD FIRST, OR SELF. OR PLEASURE. OR WHAT?
PASTOR JOE

CAMP SERVICE WAS SUCH A BLESSING 3 OF 8 CAME FOR JOHN 21 STUDY ON CLOSE TO JESUS

Romans 15:23-25 (NLT)  FINISHED²³
 But now I have finished my work in these regions, and after all these long years of waiting, I am eager to visit you.
²⁴  I am planning to go to Spain, and when I do, I will stop off in Rome. And after I have enjoyed your fellowship for a little while, you can provide for my journey.

²⁵  But before I come, I must go to Jerusalem to take a gift to the believers there.
PAUL FINISHED WHAT GOD WANTED HIM TO DO IN ONE PLACE AND MOVED ON
CAN WE FINISH ANYTHING
MANY CAN'T FINISH ANYTHING
THE DEVIL HAS MANY STAY UP ALL NIGHT TRYING TO FINISH A WORTHLESS GAME
DOES WHAT WE DO HELP THE KINGDOM OF GOD?
I AM VERY SERIOUS
WASTING TIME IS A SIN
USE OUR PRECIOUS TIME WISELY
HELP OTHER NOT IGNORE THEM
HELLO
WHAT DO WE ENJOY?
DOES IT HONOR GOD?
PASTOR JOE

BOYS CAMP TONIGHT
NEED PRAYERS FOR THEM AND ME

Romans 15:17-19 (NLT)   USED BY GOD-WOW!!!¹⁷  So I have reason to be enthusiastic about all Christ Jesus has done through me in my service to God.
¹⁸  Yet I dare not boast about anything except what Christ has done through me, bringing the Gentiles to God by my message and by the way I worked among them.
¹⁹  They were convinced by the power of miraculous signs and wonders and by the power of God’s Spirit. In this way, I have fully presented the Good News of Christ from Jerusalem all the way to Illyricum.
GOD DESIRES TO USE US JUST LIKE HE USED PAUL
HE DESIRES WE SHARE THE GOSPEL
GOD WILL BLESS US SO WE CAN BLESS OTHERS
WHAT COULD WE DO IF WE LET GOD BE NUMBEER 1 IN OUR LIVES
WHERE EVER WE GO LET'S BE A BLESSING
PASTOR JOE

ART CLASS WENT WELL
MICHELE AND I PICKED UP LEXIE AT THE AIRPORT
SHE IS BACK AT NORTH GREENVILLE
FINALLY FEELING BETTER

Romans 15:15-17 (KJV)  DOING GOD'S WILL¹⁵  Nevertheless, brethren, I have written the more boldly unto you in some sort, as putting you in mind, because of the grace that is given to me of God,
¹⁶  That I should be the minister of Jesus Christ to the Gentiles, ministering the gospel of God, that the offering up of the Gentiles might be acceptable, being sanctified by the Holy Ghost.

¹⁷  I have therefore whereof I may glory through Jesus Christ in those things which pertain to God.
IF WE WERE TO TAKE A VOTE, MOST PEOPLE WOULD HAVE SAID PAUL WAS WRONG
SEEKING TO SAVE GENTILES- BOO
BUT PAUL WAS DOING GOD'S WILL, NOT THE JEWS WILL
PAUL WAS DOING WHAT GOD WANTED HIM TO DO
ARE WE?
CAN WE BE DIFFERENT?
THE LOST WORLD HAS IYS STANDARDS
GOD HAS HIS
LET'S PLEASE GOD NOT PEOPLE
PASTOR JOE

INTERESTING LAST NIGHT ON BIBLICAL DIVORCE
GOOD DISCUSSION
ENJOYED IT
VERY BUSY DAY TODAY
ART CLASS TONIGHT
HAD NICE VISIT WITH BOB YESTERDAY
WAS TOLD TONY IS DOING WELL AFTER OPERATION
GOD BLESS

Romans 15:12-14 (KJV)    GOD THE GIVER¹²  And again, Esaias saith, There shall be a root of Jesse, and he that shall rise to reign over the Gentiles; in him shall the Gentiles trust.

¹³  Now the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, that ye may abound in hope, through the power of the Holy Ghost.

¹⁴  And I myself also am persuaded of you, my brethren, that ye also are full of goodness, filled with all knowledge, able also to admonish one another.
GOD IS THE GREAT GIVER
HE GAVE US A PROMISE THAT THE SAVIOR WOULD COME FROM DAVID'S BLOOD LINE, AND JESUS DID.
HE GIVES US JOY
HE GIVES US PEACE DEEP IN OUR SOUL
WE CAN BELIEVE IN GOD
WE CAN HAVE HOPE
WE CAN HAVE THE HOLY SPIRIT
WE CAN BE GOOD
WE CAN LEARN EVEN ETERNAL TRUTHS
WE CAN ENCOURAGE  EACH OTHER
WOW!  WE ARE BLESSED
PASTOR JOE

4 OF 8 AT BOYS CAMP SERVICE
A BLESSED EXPERIENCE
TODAY VISITING, SOME STUDYING
DIVORCE TRUTHS FROM JESUS' WORDS TONIGHT

Romans 15:7-11 (NLT)   PASS OUT SOME LOVE⁷  Therefore, accept each other just as Christ has accepted you so that God will be given glory.
⁸  Remember that Christ came as a servant to the Jews to show that God is true to the promises he made to their ancestors.
⁹  He also came so that the Gentiles might give glory to God for his mercies to them. That is what the psalmist meant when he wrote: “For this, I will praise you among the Gentiles; I will sing praises to your name.”

¹⁰  And in another place it is written, “Rejoice with his people, you Gentiles.”

¹¹  And yet again, “Praise the LORD, all you Gentiles. Praise him, all you people of the earth.”
GOD LOVES EVERYONE
WE NEED TO LOVE EVERYONE
WE NEED TO PRAY HARD FOR EACH OTHER
OUR ACTIONS NEED TO SHOW OUR LOVE
GOD CAN SAVE ANYONE WHO BELIEVES UPON JESUS
EVEN US-GLORY!
LET OTHERS SEE JESUS IN US
PASTOR JOE

SICK MOST OF THE DAY YESTERDAY AFTER MY MONTHLY SHOT
HARD STUDY DAY TODAY
BOYS CAMP TONIGHT

Romans 15:5-7 (NLT) ⁵  May God, who gives this patience and encouragement, help you live in complete harmony with each other, as is fitting for followers of Christ Jesus.
⁶  Then all of you can join together with one voice, giving praise and glory to God, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.

⁷  Therefore, accept each other just as Christ has accepted you so that God will be given glory.

GOD GIVES US PATIENCE- DO WE ACCEPT IT?
GOD GIVES US ENCOURAGEMENT- DO WE ACCEPT IT?
GOD HELPS US LIVE IN HARMONY-DO WE?
THAT IS WHAT GOD DESIRES
LET'S PLEASE HIM
ARE WE AS ONE VOICE?
WHY NOT?
IS GOD PLEASED WITH THE WAY WE TREAT EACH OTHER?
WHEN WE ARE AS ONE IT PRAISES GOD
WHEN WE ARE AS ONE IT BRINGS GLORY TO GOD
WAKE UP
PASTOR JOE

WONDERFUL DAY A T THE LORD'S HOUSE
STORM DIDN'T KEEP A GOOD CROWD AWAY
MOSTLY GOD WAS THERE
HAVE A BLESSED ONE

Romans 15:1-4 (NLT)  OTHERS OR ME?¹
 We who are strong must be considerate of those who are sensitive about things like this. We must not just please ourselves.
²  We should help others do what is right and build them up in the Lord.
³  For even Christ didn’t live to please himself. As the Scriptures say, “The insults of those who insult you, O God, have fallen on me.”
⁴  Such things were written in the Scriptures long ago to teach us. And the Scriptures give us hope and encouragement as we wait patiently for God’s promises to be fulfilled.
DO WE WANT TO HELP OURSELVES OR OTHERS?
JESUS SET THE EXAMPLE
HE LIVED TO PLEASE GOD
HE LIVED RIGHT AND SOUGHT TO HELP OTHERS
SOMETIMES OTHERS REFUSE HELP
BUT WE TRY
ARE WE MADE FUN OF FOR BEING LIKE JESUS
IF NOT, REPENT
PASTOR JOE

MY BUDDY BOB IS IN THE HOSPITAL
MAY GET TO COME HOME TOMORROW
REMEMBER THE DAVID MILES FAMILY IN PRAYER
HIS FUNERAL IS TOMORROW
MAY GET TO ART CLASS LATE TONIGHT
THAT'S OK
FIRST THINGS FIRST
GOOD SERVICE LAST NIGHT

Romans 14:20-23 (NLT)    THE DANGER OF HABITS²⁰  Don’t tear apart the work of God over what you eat. Remember, all foods are acceptable, but it is wrong to eat something if it makes another person stumble.
²¹  It is better not to eat meat or drink wine or do anything else if it might cause another believer to stumble.
²²  You may believe there’s nothing wrong with what you are doing, but keep it between yourself and God. Blessed are those who don’t feel guilty for doing something they have decided is right.
²³  But if you have doubts about whether or not you should eat something, you are sinning if you go ahead and do it. For you are not following your convictions. If you do anything you believe is not right, you are sinning.
IF I HAVE A HABIT THAT OFFENDS PEOPLE, I NEED TO LOOK AT IT SERIOUSLY.
I DO NOT DESIRE TO OFFEND PEOPLE. BUT
MY GREAT FEAR IS NOT TO OFFEND GOD
DO WE HAVE HANGUPS THAT HURT OTHERS?
ARE WE KEEPING PEOPLE OUT OF CHURCH BY BAD TRADITIONS?
WHAT SHOULD WE NOT DO?
WHAT SHOULD WE DO?
SERIOUS QUESTIONS
PASTOR JOE

BOYS CAMP WAS EXTRA SPECIAL
6 OF 9 CAME
I PREACHED- GOD BLESSED
I BOY WHO CAME DIDN'T BELIEVE IN GOD, YE SAID
I WILL BE BACK NEXT WEEK-GLORY!
I LEAD SINGING AND PREACH AT MANNA HOME THIS MORNING
SERMON ON THE MOUNT TONIGHT AT SHADY GROVE
NEVER A DULL MOMENT
PRAY FOR THE DAVID MILES FAMILY

Romans 14:17-19 (KJV)  WHAT BEING A CHRISTIAN IS ALL ABOUT¹⁷  For the kingdom of God is not meat and drink; but righteousness, and peace, and joy in the Holy Ghost.
¹⁸  For he that in these things serveth Christ is acceptable to God, and approved of men.
¹⁹  Let us therefore follow after the things which make for peace, and things wherewith one may edify another.
CHRISTIAN IS A PERSON WHO ENJOYS FELLOWSHIP-SURE
A CHRISTIAN IS A PERSON WHO IS RIGHT WITH GOD THROUGH FAITH IN JESUS
THEY ARE A PERSON WHO HAS A DEEP PEACE WITHIN GIVEN BY GOD
THEY HAVE A JOY THAT ONLY GOD CAN GIVE THROUGH THE WORKING OF THE HOLY SPIRIT
THEY SERVE THE LORD BY DOING HIS WILL
THEY ARE RESPECTED AS  REAL CHRISTANS
THE ARE KNOWN AS PEACE MAKERS
THEY ARE KNOWN FOR HELPING OTHERS GROW IN THE LORD
ARE YOU A CHRISTIAN?
PASTOR JOE

NICE VISIT LAST NIGHT ENJOYED BEING WITH SOME GOOD CHURCH MEMBERS
TONIGHT PREACH AT THE BOYS CAMP
STUDY DAY

Romans 14:12-16 (NLT) Work on ourselves¹²  Yes, each of us will give a personal account to God.
WE ALL ANSWER TO GOD
¹³  So let’s stop condemning each other. Decide instead to live in such a way that you will not cause another believer to stumble and fall.
STOP TRASHING OTHERS
STOP BEING A BAD EXAMPLE

¹⁴  I know and am convinced on the authority of the Lord Jesus that no food, in and of itself, is wrong to eat. But if someone believes it is wrong, then for that person it is wrong.
BE GREATLY CONCERN NO TO OFFEND OTHERS OR GOD
DON'T BE MEAN SPIRITED
¹⁵  And if another believer is distressed by what you eat, you are not acting in love if you eat it. Don’t let your eating ruin someone for whom Christ died.
DON'T OFFEND OTHERS ON PURPOSE
¹⁶  Then you will not be criticized for doing something you believe is good.
T HE MAIN THING  IS DON'T OFFEND GOD
BE CONSIDERATE OF OTHERS

PASTOR JOE

WONDERFUL DAY OF WORSHIP
LORD'S SUPPER
CHURCH SINGING
GREAT FINGER FOOD FELLOWSHIP
WONDERFUL PEOPLE OF SHADY GROVE
