My message is based on Hebrews 13: 2

"Be prepared to welcome strangers, for in doing so some have entertained angels unawares"

2 Corinthians 8:7
Rev. Linda Evans

What is the proper place of fear in a Christian's life? As Peter writes, "If you call God your Father...then conduct yourselves with fear." In other words, we should fear God because "he redeemed you." We are not to take his commands lightly- otherwise we will face him as judge.

What has Easter changed for you? Have you been changed by Easter? In the letter of 1st Peter, verses 3-5, Peter writes about three promises in our spiritual healing that the resurrection of Christ brings to us.

There has to be a rebirth in order for you be born again.

Receiving the Spirit of God changes you- mind, body, soul

Guest Speaker - Rev. Ray Rhodes, Jr.

The notion that the church should be open to welcoming the sinner into its midst without requiring repentance is not correct. God's position on this is laid out in scripture.
Lev. 10: 1-10 states how God regards those who come before him offering profane things. This is also recorded in Ezekiel 44: 23

The difference between what is holy and what is unholy is knowing what is of God and what is not of God.
The result of offering something unholy to God is that his name is profaned; Ezekiel 22:26

An unrighteous, unrepentant person cannot offer anything to God and hope to have it accepted. God regards this as noted in the passage; Isaiah 65:6

Remember the evil son who is to be stoned to death? Duet. 21:18-21
What abnout the sin of Achan after the battle of Jericho? Joshua 7:7-13.

God is serious about his OWN people and sin. So why allow someone in the midst of the assembly who is not even saved and refuses to repent?

Our relationship with Jesus Christ is to be more than fire insurance. It is the very breath we breathe, the foundation of our life. It is not just to be a possession but it is to be FUNCTIONAL FAITH --1 Peter 1-- 4/16/89.
