The reason the sermon below was titled "My last sermon" is because I am taking next week off so I will not post anything next week.

My last sermon

   23 for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, 24 and all are justified freely by his grace through the redemption that came by Christ Jesus.


     This little phrase from Romans3:23-24. I personally love this verse, and highly suggest you memorize it. None of us are perfect but as you can see in this verse God forgives you. He gave his one and only son to let us be forgiven even though Satan has taken over us many times.
  16 For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. Jonh 3:16
Sometimes I think that we hear that he came back so many times that we don't realize how amazing that is! That someone can die and come back when there was prof that he was dead! It really is amazing. And yet he still loves us, even though we killed his son. Even though this was short, that is my sermon, 
                                           Thank you!

A DIFFERENT Sunday Sermon

      Today I will not be teaching on a passage but on a true story that relates to Christianity. This is the story... We were turning on the light  on the stairs and it didn't turn on. So, your first reaction is the light bulb is dead, right. So we change the light bulb and it still doesn't turn on! We take out the light bulb, it is a good light bulb, so why doesn't it work? Well, Turns out that that switch is connected to another one. Which means that if that other one is on the other one can't turn on the light! And guess what, the other one was on! So, we went through all that trouble to realize that the other switch was on!

   So, I bet most of you are wondering how I make a sermon off this. Well, sometimes God is just like the light bulb, bright, useful, everywhere, and probably the most used electronic on earth.  So, sometimes if we find that God didn't help us in a certain thing that we prayed for, well sometimes(not all people) we think he isn't there for us anymore and go through all the trouble of looking for a different religion( looking for a light bulb to replace it with) until we realize that God was there, he just didn't do what we had hoped he would do. So we went through all that trouble to realize that we actually wanted that light bulb! So, the lesson here is don't think that God is not there for you when he just didn't do what you wanted. That is my DIFFERENT Sunday Sermon,
                                                  Thank you!

My fourth Sermon

             “Look, I am coming soon! My reward is with me, and I will give to each person according to what they have done. 13 I am the Alpha and the Omega, the First and the Last, the Beginning and the End.
14 “Blessed are those who wash their robes, that they may have the right to the tree of life and may go through the gates into the city. 15 Outside are the dogs, those who practice magic arts, the sexually immoral, the murderers, the idolaters and everyone who loves and practices falsehood.
16 “I, Jesus, have sent my angel to give you[a] this testimony for the churches. I am the Root and the Offspring of David, and the bright Morning Star.”
17 The Spirit and the bride say, “Come!” And let the one who hears say, “Come!” Let the one who is thirsty come; and let the one who wishes take the free gift of the water of life.
18 I warn everyone who hears the words of the prophecy of this scroll: If anyone adds anything to them, God will add to that person the plagues described in this scroll. 19 And if anyone takes words away from this scroll of prophecy, God will take away from that person any share in the tree of life and in the Holy City, which are described in this scroll.
20 He who testifies to these things says, “Yes, I am coming soon.”
Amen. Come, Lord Jesus.
21 The grace of the Lord Jesus be with God’s people. Amen.

        This is the passage I will be preaching on today! The reason I picked this passage to teach is because it is so inspiring, it says "I will come!" And he will. And after all these years he will come and teach, he will share the tree of life, and he will rejoice! He will come so, don't just sand there hoping he'll come another day! Get out and preach spread the word to thousands, become that big mustered tree that he explained! Because when he comes back he wants to be welcomed back with gladness and people obeying!(at least I think) So go out and mack thousands of disciples. And well, to motivate to you all who do not obey will be throw outside like dogs and will have the gnashing of teeth. However the spirit wants us to come in, that is why he gives us second chances and forgives us. So I have a challenge for you this week. If you know someone who does not know Christ please tell them this week about Christ.        That will be it thank you!

my Sunday Sermon

14 Then one of the Twelve—the one called Judas Iscariot—went to the chief priests 15 and asked, “What are you willing to give me if I deliver him over to you?” So they counted out for him thirty pieces of silver. 16 From then on Judas watched for an opportunity to hand him over.

The Last Supper

17 On the first day of the Festival of Unleavened Bread, the disciples came to Jesus and asked, “Where do you want us to make preparations for you to eat the Passover?”
18 He replied, “Go into the city to a certain man and tell him, ‘The Teacher says: My appointed time is near. I am going to celebrate the Passover with my disciples at your house.’” 19 So the disciples did as Jesus had directed them and prepared the Passover.
20 When evening came, Jesus was reclining at the table with the Twelve. 21 And while they were eating, he said, “Truly I tell you, one of you will betray me.”
22 They were very sad and began to say to him one after the other, “Surely you don’t mean me, Lord?”
23 Jesus replied, “The one who has dipped his hand into the bowl with me will betray me. 24 The Son of Man will go just as it is written about him. But woe to that man who betrays the Son of Man! It would be better for him if he had not been born.”
25 Then Judas, the one who would betray him, said, “Surely you don’t mean me, Rabbi?”
Jesus answered, “You have said so.”
26 While they were eating, Jesus took bread, and when he had given thanks, he broke it and gave it to his disciples, saying, “Take and eat; this is my body.”
27 Then he took a cup, and when he had given thanks, he gave it to them, saying, “Drink from it, all of you. 28 This is my blood of the[a] covenant, which is poured out for many for the forgiveness of sins. 29 I tell you, I will not drink from this fruit of the vine from now on until that day when I drink it new with you in my Father’s kingdom.”
30 When they had sung a hymn, they went out to the Mount of Olives.

Jesus Predicts Peter’s Denial

31 Then Jesus told them, “This very night you will all fall away on account of me, for it is written:
“‘I will strike the shepherd,
    and the sheep of the flock will be scattered.’[b]
32 But after I have risen, I will go ahead of you into Galilee.”
33 Peter replied, “Even if all fall away on account of you, I never will.”
34 “Truly I tell you,” Jesus answered, “this very night, before the rooster crows, you will disown me three times.”
35 But Peter declared, “Even if I have to die with you, I will never disown you.” And all the other disciples said the same.

Gethsemane

36 Then Jesus went with his disciples to a place called Gethsemane, and he said to them, “Sit here while I go over there and pray.” 37 He took Peter and the two sons of Zebedee along with him, and he began to be sorrowful and troubled. 38 Then he said to them, “My soul is overwhelmed with sorrow to the point of death. Stay here and keep watch with me.”
39 Going a little farther, he fell with his face to the ground and prayed, “My Father, if it is possible, may this cup be taken from me. Yet not as I will, but as you will.”
40 Then he returned to his disciples and found them sleeping. “Couldn’t you men keep watch with me for one hour?” he asked Peter. 41 “Watch and pray so that you will not fall into temptation. The spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak.”
42 He went away a second time and prayed, “My Father, if it is not possible for this cup to be taken away unless I drink it, may your will be done.”
43 When he came back, he again found them sleeping, because their eyes were heavy. 44 So he left them and went away once more and prayed the third time, saying the same thing.
45 Then he returned to the disciples and said to them, “Are you still sleeping and resting? Look, the hour has come, and the Son of Man is delivered into the hands of sinners. 46 Rise! Let us go! Here comes my betrayer!”






This is the sermon I will be teaching on today. So at the begging of this passage I started out this sermon with Judas betraying Jesus. And the reason I picked this passage to teach on is because there is so much sin this, and not that we don't sin but but we should know the sins so hopefully don't make those mistakes. so here I'll name the sins for you. 1 we start out with a sin which is betraying Jesus, and well I think most of us know who did that sin, Judas. 2 Judas lies and says that he did not betray him, but obviously Jesus could see right through it. 3 Jesus goes to the garden and prays, commanding for them to watch over him, but they fell asleep. That is a easy sin to make, to fall asleep. How many of you have siting in a restaurant and someone asked you to watch their stuff your like OK, then you go back to talking. Yeah, I think a lot of you have done that. Well I think this is the same thing except its at midnight and your asked to watch the son of God. So I think it might make it harder and easier. So lets  talk about Judas's mistake. And don't think I'm a Hippocratic because I'm saying don't sin when I sin also, I'm tell myself everything too. So in the bible this is a big mistake, that Judas Betray Jesus, for one he got Jesus Killed, for two he sorta got a rip off if if you know what I mean, like at least get more money for the son of God!(a joke) So after Judas sees what hes done he realizes that it was a giant mistake and hangs himself. However it happens that Gods plane was for Jesus to get killed so that we can all be forgiven. So if your reading please know that you'll always be forgiven.     That is the end so thank you for reading!

Another Sunday Sermon

           Early in the reign of Jehoiakim son of Josiah king of Judah, this word came from the Lord: “This is what the Lord says: Stand in the courtyard of the Lord’s house and speak to all the people of the towns of Judah who come to worship in the house of the Lord. Tell them everything I command you; do not omit a word. Perhaps they will listen and each will turn from their evil ways. Then I will relent and not inflict on them the disaster I was planning because of the evil they have done. Say to them, ‘This is what the Lord says: If you do not listen to me and follow my law, which I have set before you, and if you do not listen to the words of my servants the prophets, whom I have sent to you again and again (though you have not listened), then I will make this house like Shiloh and this city a curse[a] among all the nations of the earth.’”
The priests, the prophets and all the people heard Jeremiah speak these words in the house of the Lord. But as soon as Jeremiah finished telling all the people everything the Lord had commanded him to say, the priests, the prophets and all the people seized him and said, “You must die! Why do you prophesy in the Lord’s name that this house will be like Shiloh and this city will be desolate and deserted?” And all the people crowded around Jeremiah in the house of the Lord.
10 When the officials of Judah heard about these things, they went up from the royal palace to the house of the Lord and took their places at the entrance of the New Gate of the Lord’s house. 11 Then the priests and the prophets said to the officials and all the people, “This man should be sentenced to death because he has prophesied against this city. You have heard it with your own ears!”
12 Then Jeremiah said to all the officials and all the people: “The Lord sent me to prophesy against this house and this city all the things you have heard. 13 Now reform your ways and your actions and obey the Lord your God. Then the Lord will relent and not bring the disaster he has pronounced against you. 14 As for me, I am in your hands; do with me whatever you think is good and right. 15 Be assured, however, that if you put me to death, you will bring the guilt of innocent blood on yourselves and on this city and on those who live in it, for in truth the Lord has sent me to you to speak all these words in your hearing.”
16 Then the officials and all the people said to the priests and the prophets, “This man should not be sentenced to death! He has spoken to us in the name of the Lord our God.”
17 Some of the elders of the land stepped forward and said to the entire assembly of people, 18 “Micah of Moresheth prophesied in the days of Hezekiah king of Judah. He told all the people of Judah, ‘This is what the Lord Almighty says:
“‘Zion will be plowed like a field,
    Jerusalem will become a heap of rubble,
    the temple hill a mound overgrown with thickets.’[b]
19 “Did Hezekiah king of Judah or anyone else in Judah put him to death? Did not Hezekiah fear the Lord and seek his favor? And did not the Lord relent, so that he did not bring the disaster he pronounced against them? We are about to bring a terrible disaster on ourselves!”
20 (Now Uriah son of Shemaiah from Kiriath Jearim was another man who prophesied in the name of the Lord; he prophesied the same things against this city and this land as Jeremiah did. 21 When King Jehoiakim and all his officers and officials heard his words, the king was determined to put him to death. But Uriah heard of it and fled in fear to Egypt. 22 King Jehoiakim, however, sent Elnathan son of Akbor to Egypt, along with some other men. 23 They brought Uriah out of Egypt and took him to King Jehoiakim, who had him struck down with a sword and his body thrown into the burial place of the common people.)
24 Furthermore, Ahikam son of Shaphan supported Jeremiah, and so he was not handed over to the people to be put to death.


       This is the passage I will be preaching this Sunday. So in Jehoiakim everyone was going on with there normal days and then someone went up to them and said "‘This is what the Lord says: If you do not listen to me and follow my law, which I have set before you, and if you do not listen to the words of my servants the prophets, whom I have sent to you again and again (though you have not listened), then I will make this house like Shiloh and this city a curse[a] among all the nations of the earth.’” And as he said this the lord was with him because the lord is always with people when they speak up. Even though we sin horribly even though we disobey him he is still with us. And when he is with us he gives us grace, forgiveness, a gift, something we don't deserve and yet he gives it to us anyway. He gives us a gift that we don't deserve. And when he gives us grace we need to put truth with it. Because grace without truth it's like your lost on the road with no directions. It's like I pull over and ask you for directions. "hey I'm lost and I need to find the farmers market can you help me?" 
"Man your lost"
 "I know"
 " your totally, absolutely lost "
  I know can you help me?"
 "Man your lost."  
   I mean that's  really how it is. And truth without grace its like you lost and you don't know that your lost.
"Man your lost"
"no I'm not, just keep on driving off the cliff then we're safe, yeah!"
  I mean that's how it is really truth without grace, grace without truth that is how it is. And you know what Jesus is the truth. Not part of the  truth not some THE WHOLE truth. And so while preaching the truth AND the  grace you need to be effective. So that means just running around saying" Read the bible." or "Jesus is important!" is probable not going to do anything. And also when people start to get mad at you for preaching the gospel don't run because then people just think you don't trust Jesus, so don't run and always tack any chance you have to teach the word of God. That is the end of my sermon today.
                                                 Thank you!

my Sunday Sermon

    
                      
13 When a gentle south wind began to blow, they saw their opportunity; so they weighed anchor and sailed along the shore of Crete. 14 Before very long, a wind of hurricane force, called the Northeaster, swept down from the island. 15 The ship was caught by the storm and could not head into the wind; so we gave way to it and were driven along. 16 As we passed to the lee of a small island called Cauda, we were hardly able to make the lifeboat secure, 17 so the men hoisted it aboard. Then they passed ropes under the ship itself to hold it together. Because they were afraid they would run aground on the sandbars of Syrtis, they lowered the sea anchor[a] and let the ship be driven along. 18 We took such a violent battering from the storm that the next day they began to throw the cargo overboard. 19 On the third day, they threw the ship’s tackle overboard with their own hands. 20 When neither sun nor stars appeared for many days and the storm continued raging, we finally gave up all hope of being saved.
21 After they had gone a long time without food, Paul stood up before them and said: “Men, you should have taken my advice not to sail from Crete; then you would have spared yourselves this damage and loss. 22 But now I urge you to keep up your courage, because not one of you will be lost; only the ship will be destroyed. 23 Last night an angel of the God to whom I belong and whom I serve stood beside me 24 and said, ‘Do not be afraid, Paul. You must stand trial before Caesar; and God has graciously given you the lives of all who sail with you.’ 25 So keep up your courage, men, for I have faith in God that it will happen just as he told me. 26 Nevertheless, we must run aground on some island.”

           This is the passage that I will be preaching on today. So earlier in this story Paul warned the captain of the ship to that a storm was coming but the captain did not listen to Paul because on the ship Paul was just a Prisoner. And yet a storm came and wrecked the ship! And yet Paul had hope! Because Paul believed that whatever the Lord had planned for him,  he knew whom he wanted to serve no question! He knew what he wanted to serve he knew whatever God's plan was he knew that was what he Wanted. And sometimes we say "Oh alright God if that's what you want I'll just do it for you!" But Paul says no! I want what God wants. And I know to whom I serve! And I will trust God till the end of my days. And in verse 21 he says "Eat for none of your lives will be lost only the ship will be destroyed."And with that he took the bread and eat it! Inspiring the other mates on the ship, they all ate.Last night Paul had had a dream in the dream there was a angel the angel told Paul do not be afraid for all lives on this ship will be saved and you will swim to shore and then you must stand in front of Caesar. So after the men finished eating, As the angel had said, they crashed but all lives were saved. And they swam to shore.
That's the end of my sermon, Thank you!
