My brothers and sisters in Christ, the fruits that we gained when we were slaves to sin, were shameful fruits. If you have died to sin, you can no longer live in it. You are a new creation, old things are passed away and you born again, so, put on the new self, created to be like God, in true righteousness and holiness. Praise the Lord!

Do you have anything to thank God for this morning? Our awesome God, is worthy of all our praise, for all that he has done and continue to do for us. Lord, this morning, I want to thank you for saving me, I want to thank you for picking me up when I fall, I want to thank you for leading me and guiding me in your way, and I am thankful that because you died, I am born again. I am redeemed, I am accepted and I am free. Thank you, Lord!

If Christ died to set you free, if Christ hung for you on Calvary, learn to sing the salvation story, glory, glory, glory! Come my brother, come my sister, help me sing the salvation story, let us all come before His throne and sing, glory, glory, glory!

My brothers and sisters in Christ, many of us call ourselves Christians, but when we open our mouths, our words tells another story. Scripture reminds us, that we should not let any unwholesome talk come out of our mouths, but only what is helpful for building others up according to their needs, and that it may benefit those who listen. Your words spoken should not be filthy, foolish, angry, evil, rotten, course or corrupt. Let us put away from us gossip and all lying and corrupt communications that stir up trouble. Let us be kind one to another in thought, word, and deed. If you call yourself a Christian try to be more Christ-like.

God has already equipped all of us for His good works. All we need to do is to go where He sends us, and to do what He asks of us. By His grace He has given us gifts through the working of His power, and the gifts that He gives to us we should use them to bring honor and glory to His name. Let us all strive to do what we can, when we can all for the glory of God!

Yes, He has! God will never call us to a task that he has not equipped us for. God knows what we are capable of, and when he asks us to carry out His work, know that His plan for us is not to fail but to abound in good works which will be pleasing in His sight.

My brothers and sisters in Christ, we will only get tired of doing anything if it’s not done from the heart. We should never get tired of doing what is good. We should do all things as unto the Lord. Whatever our hands finds to do, we should do willingly and to the best of our abilities, for the work that we do for the Lord will never be in vain, it will be rewarded, therefore, we should never put our hands to the plough and turn back, we should never do anything half-heartedly, but should do all things to the glory of the Lord.

For too long we have allowed our evil, deceptive hearts to rob us of God’s goodness. We have allowed the desires of our hearts to lead us away from God and his will for us. It’s time for change, it’s time to seek the Lord. If we continue to depend on our own strength we will fail. Let us therefore trust God to lead us in all goodness, and to sow for ourselves righteousness and reap the fruits of God’s unfailing love.

For you have forgotten the God of your salvation and have not remembered the Rock that is your strength. Therefore, even though you plant delightful plants, sowing them with imported vine-seedlings, the land will be a desolation. In the day that you plant it, you carefully fence it in, they may sprout on the day you set them out; yes, they may blossom on the very morning you plant them, but you will never pick any grapes from them. Your only harvest will be a load of grief and unrelieved pain. Isaiah 17:10-11
