Sermon 30 August 2009

"Shining Stars"

Pastor Richard Hildreth

This Sunday Pastor Hildreth spoke about dying to flesh for God to work miracles for Salvation.

Some key points from the sermon

The power of God will cause a person either to run away or run to. "Scared to death or scared to life"
When you walk in the power of God, there will be people who do not understand you and who fear you, but there will be people who look to you for their need.
We must get over our objections to witnessing. We serve the King of Kings and Lord of Lords!
If you want the power of God in your life you must not live in religion, you must live in relationship.
If you step out to do the work of God there will be people that come against you and persecute you.
We need to change our lives so that people see Christ in us.
We are called to be like shining stars!
Be holy!
The more we focus on God we decrease and he increases.
God can transform you. Give God the glory! Testify of the miracles that God has done for us.
It's not about getting blessings, it is about being blessed and passing on what God has done for you to others.
Honor Christ instead of flesh.
Don't spread gossip, don't attack people behind their backs, don't slip into the lifestyle of those around us. God knows your actions, and the people who are with you know your actions.
Pray for people where you are; in public!
Our prayers must not be about ourselves, but about God being able to do miracles.
