When Worship Becomes Your Alibi
365 Worship When Worship Becomes Your Alibi What is our response when God shows up? ‘And they that worship Him must worship Him in spirit and in truth.’ John 4:24 If true or acceptable worship is in ‘spirit and in truth,’ than it follows that as a worshipper encounters God, he or she is called to an authentic and proper response. The worship of a living God that responds to our worship can never be passive. We must not be people who C S. Lewis described when he wrote, ‘We have become all about discovering Him, yet controlling and limiting our response. 1. Your worship is proven by your life. ‘But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control. Against such there is no law.’ Galatians 5:22-23 We cannot worship God in any significant way and not have the fruit of His Spirit breaking down the door to express Himself in us and through us. 2. The Delusion created by worship Malachi 1:10 ‘Who is there among you who would shut the doors, So that you would not kindle fire on my alter in vain?’ There is a dangerous spiritual condition generated when we continue to live in secret sin and yet feel close to God in worship. Close encounters with God without life changing responses create a false sense that everything must be OK. A true worshipper lives in defiance of human reason and expectation.

Big Prayers for One Another
Paul's prayer for the Colossians is a beautiful example of the kind of 'big' prayer that we should be praying consistently for one another, a prayer we can only pray in Jesus' name.

Fruit of the Spirit
When we plant an apple seed, we expect that seed to bear fruit. If we plant a seed, and we do not know what kind of seed it is, we must wait until it bears fruit to see what kind of tree it is. The Bible tells us that when the Gospel lands on good soil it bears fruit. In Galatians Paul tells us what kind of fruit the Spirit bears in the life of the Christian. Are you bearing fruit.

The Power of the Spirit on the Narrow Road
God in His grace has given us His Holy Spirit to work in our hearts so that our inward attitudes are right and this leads to holy outward behavior. The fruit of living with the Holy Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control. Because these traits only come from living with the Holy Spirit it is vital for us to stop, set aside our busyness and distractions, and spend time reading the Scriptures and in prayer so that we can listen to what the Spirit says and live by His power.

Walking with the Spirit on the Narrow Road
It is common to hear that all world religions are basically the same and this is said because their ethics overlap in many areas. Christianity is unique in that you are reconciled with God through faith and not through doing these good works. It is also unique in addressing the root cause for our inability to live up to these ethics: our sinful, deceitful hearts which desire to rebel against Him. God gives His Holy Spirit to Christians to rebuild their hearts so they begin to desire to walk in His ways. If we walk with the Holy Spirit by repenting of our sins, praying for His help to obey Him, learning from the Scriptures that He inspired, and stirring our affections for Christ, we can overcome the desires of our sinful hearts and live how He has called us to live.

Used by God
How do we find the right way to be used by God? Prayer is the key! How is the church used by God? To bear fruit through our good deeds and as we grow to a greater understanding of who God is. How do we plan on being used by God? We have to plan prayer into our day, adjust our priorities and rely on His power.

The Vine
How do we produce good fruit? We must be attached to the right source - Jesus! Here are the do's and don't of fruitful living. 1. Don't allow yourself to be severed from the vine, stay tightly connected. 2. Don't allow the pruning to turn you away, acknowledge that the pruning brings joy and fruitfulness. 3. Don't give up on the Gardener, allow Him to refresh your connection to Him.

Now About Spiritual Gifts
Now About Spiritual Gifts The early church focused less on the cross than they did on the resurrection, believing that just as God raised Jesus Christ from the dead, He would empower them to produce fruit for Him. This empowerment came through spiritual gifts that enabled each believer to serve the body of Christ in a special and unique way. That’s the way it still works. Ro 6:4, Ro 7:4, Matt 25:14, 1Cor 12, Php 2:4-8, Acts 6, Acts 9, 2Tim 2:20-21

Now What?
The truths about God's grace and forgiveness are worthless if not applied in one's life. After you receive this wonderful gift, now what? We need to keep the saving power of the cross in constant view in order to keep us safe. John the Baptist quotes Isaiah as he addresses the crowd coming to be baptized--"Make ready the way of the Lord." He then goes on to preach on repentance and the importance of showing fruits of that 180-degree turn in life. Whatever the issues might be that confront us, God's grace is always sufficient. Where He guides, He always provides.

How Can I Be Sure That I Am Saved
Is a person "once-saved always-saved"? The answer is yes, because a person's salvation rests in God's unmerited mercy and grace, despite their wickedness and not because of any goodness in them. The question we really should be asking is whether we have really ever been saved in the first place. This sermon examines some of the evidence a person should expect to see in his life if he really is a believer.

John 15:1-17 Fruitful Living
Abide in Christ! This command is the foundation for what is ultimately expected by God for those that believe. We as Christians are not called to sit on our hands but God has appointed us to bear fruit for the kingdom that we would live radically different lives in the here and now as we participate in God’s plan of redemption and the restoration of his kingdom.

Life as Dirt
Over the years, I've had opportunity to share about Jesus with lots of people, and it never ceases to amaze me their varied responses. Some flatly refuse. Others quickly respond, but then wilt away. Still others seem to get side-tracked mid-way along the journey. And another group goes on to accomplish much for the kingdom of God. There are lots of times I am frustrated that not everyone responds to the Gospel message with the same vigor and excitement. I want everyone to bear much fruit. But it doesn't seem to be the way. That's what Jesus is talking about today. I hope you're okay playing the role as "dirt", because that's what you are in this parable! Our receptiveness to the Gospel is represented by four types of soil. The key distinguishing factor of good soil, as we will discover today, is that it produces a harvest. What type of spiritual fruit is being produced in your life? Key Passage: Matthew 13:1-23

The One True Vine and the Fruitful Heart
Sometimes when we try to grow or change we just try to get by with an approach to life that places all of our effort and attention on our outward behavior. It's easy to do. But throughout his ministry Jesus taught us differently. He told us that change, which ignores the heart, will never transform our lives.

The Surprising Way God Helps You Grow
True Christianity is not a program for self-improvement but a living relationship with Christ in which his life comes into you and changes you. Our core responsibility as Christians is to cultivate the relationship with Christ that will make us fruitful in life. In this passage of Scripture, John 15, Jesus is using the image of a grapevine to teach us about fruitful spiritual growth. Verse 5 gives us the real heart of the passage when Jesus says, “I am the vine; you are the branches. If a man remains in me and I in him, he will bear much fruit; apart from me you can do nothing.

Real Life & Real Change in the Real World
What does Jesus mean here when he talks about fruit and fruitfulness in life? When the Bible talks about fruit it is talking about deep positive changes in your life. In some places it also suggests the idea of a deep and positive influence on others for Christ. The best way to see this is to look at another passage, Galatians 5:22-23, which says; But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, 23 gentleness and self-control. Against such things there is no law. In the vine and the branches Jesus gives us an image to tell us how those kinds of changes can come about in our lives.

Bear Fruit Worthy Of Repentance
John the Baptist was (As Jesus tells it) the greatest man to be born of a woman preceding Christ yet he had only one sermon, a vile uniform and a terrible diet, yet God brought a powerful wave of repentance through his ministry and he is responsible for uttering those threatening words: “Therefore bear fruits worthy of repentance...” Be Challenged and provoked to live a life of holiness and consecration. & feel free to email the preacher through: craigireland@inbox.com
