What A Change When God Moves In
Are you like a glove without a hand in it? Not moving. Not doing a thing! Or are you like a glove filled with a hand. Have you been filled with the Holy Spirit and is the Spirit moving within you to be obedient to God?

Let There Be Thanksgiving
A new person in Christ recognizes the sin, turns away from it and asks for forgiveness from God. Have we taught ourselves and our children this: "No immoral, impure, or greedy person has any inheritance in the Kingdom of Christ and of God" (Ephesians 5:5)

Luke 12v13-34 The Parable of The Rich Man
This is a parable on covetousness. This is an age of covetousness. We need to ask ourselves, 'Do I just use God, like a kitchen appliance, bringing Him and out when I need Him and put him safely away until the next time I need Him'. What is covetousness, and how do I suffer from it?

Declaration of (in) Dependence Part 2
You can't ignore all the passages in the Bible that emphasize God's wrath and judgment. In fact, if you add them up, they actually total more than the passages about God's love. There are 600 alone in the OT. Here is a sampling from the NT: - John 3:36: Whoever believes in the Son has eternal life; whoever does not obey the Son shall not see life, but the wrath of God remains on him. - Romans 5:9: Since, therefore, we have now been justified by his blood, much more shall we be saved by him from the wrath of God. - Romans 12:19: Beloved, never avenge yourselves, but leave it to the wrath of God, for it is written, "Vengeance is mine, I will repay, says the Lord." - Ephesians 5:6: Let no one deceive you with empty words, for because of these things the wrath of God comes upon the sons of disobedience. - And those don't even get close to detailing for you the number of passages that mention God's wrath against sin. Obviously, ignoring the Biblical teaching on wrath is not an option, so this week at Sovereign King, let's ask this big picture question: Big Picture Question: If the Gospel is about forgiveness, what happens to God's wrath and how should we live in light of that truth?

Greed: The Killer of Authentic Worship
The reason I am preaching this passage is because we are so inclined to desire material wealth in our society that we soon can find ourselves shunning the Lord and His will for what we have twisted into a knew god. The god Mammon is a brutal and cruel taskmaster who will destroy all joy and happiness in what the true God has provided for us if we do not pay particular attention to these verses.

Walking as Children of the Light
We were once children of the darkness because we loved sin and hated for others to see it. Now, as sons and daughters of God, we are children of the light, called to put off the dark sins of sexual immorality and covetousness and be clothes with purity and grace. We will still struggle with sin, but the Holy Spirit is present to expose the dark corners of our lives with the gospel truth of freedom.

Being Content
Being content is at the heart of spiritual health. John Piper says, "Covetousness is desiring something so much that you lose your contentment in God. The opposite of covetousness is contentment in God."
