Romans 6:14
What strongholds are you pulling down at present in your life? Does sin reign unchecked in your life? Are you gaining mastery over sinful lusts and passions, or are they gaining mastery over you? Does sin have dominion over you or do you have dominion over sin?
Brothers and Sisters, we must vow to fight! We’re in a war and as God said to Cain, “...sin lieth at the door. And unto thee shall be his desire, and thou shalt rule over him” (Gen. 4:7). You say, but Brother, the sinful desires are so strong, I can barely resist the pull towards evil! I hear you! But can I ask you this question, which man are you feeding? The carnal man or the spiritual man? Your flesh or your spirit? There’s a principle that holds true, “...whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap” (Gal. 6:7). If I sow a field full of tares/weeds, then it should be of no surprise if when I come back after several months, the field is overgrown with weeds!! I’m not going to find a healthy crop of wheat Maize, for that to happen, I need to sow the right kind of seed.
1 Corinthians 4:20
The desperate need of the Church in this perilous hour is not to discover another five-step program for Church growth. See where the arm of the flesh has gotten the Bride of Christ, she looks just like the world!! Where is the cutting distinction? Where is the Kingdom of God in the midst of her? Where is the unfettered reign of Christ and the overflow of His Spirit? Instead, we’ve exchanged divine power for earthly power; God’s wisdom for man’s wisdom, and the saddest thing about it is, God’s people don’t know it any other way!! They’re happy to have it so!! The number one question that should be being asked is not, “How can we get people back into Church; but how can we get God back in!!” FRIENDS, WE NEED GOD!! We need urgently to recover again the power of the Kingdom of Heaven, “For the kingdom of God is not in word, but in power” (1 Cor. 4:20).
As Jason walks you through the Scriptures, may the Lord richly bless you as you learn about sanctification.
Matthew 25:14-30
Which one of us doesn’t like to hear the words “well done”? Whether from a boss at work, or a family member in the home; those two simple words spoken in sincerity mean so much! Who doesn’t like to be encouraged? Children especially rejoice to hear the words “well done” — as a former teacher, I can vouch for that first-hand and as a daddy, I can say the same. When you tell a little one “well done”, and you say it with heartfelt meaning, watch their tiny faces respond as they beam from ear to ear like a Cheshire cat! There’s something about the human race, it matters not how old we are, there’s a God-given trait within our DNA, a desire deep inside to please others in a job well done.
This sermon is an appeal to Christian service—a call to faithfulness in the talents entrusted to us by the Lord.

2 Chronicles 20
The account contained in 2 Chronicles 20 concerns a certain king named Jehoshaphat; a godly king, who though not perfect, was a man of tremendous faith who feared the Lord and walked in the ways of his father David. Throughout his 25-year reign as the King of Judah, Jehoshaphat witnessed firsthand, the supernatural hand of God in delivering him out of a number of precarious situations in which his life was placed in great jeopardy. Here stands an account of one such deliverance that I trust shall be a challenge and an encouragement to you.
I want to present to you three lessons in faith. #1. FAITH’S TRIAL, #2. FAITH’S ANSWER, and #3. FAITH’S REWARD
