5/5/2024 morning worship service Pastor Anthony Fields "Our Body As A Christian: "Don't You Know..." " " "The Christian's Body" "What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which you have of God, and ye are not your own? For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God's" (1 Corinthians 6:19) PAUL'S WORDS SERVE AS A REMINDER "What? know ye not?" PAUL EMPHASIZES THAT WE ARE A RETAINER "What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you?" PAUL MENTIONS THAT WE ARE RECEIVERS "What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God?" PAUL SPEAKS OF US AS REVEALERS "What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own? For ye are bought with a price; therefore, Glorify God in your body." The feet that led you in sin should now be directed in the paths of righteousness, to the house of God and the place of prayer." __________________ "You hear our prayers whether they are full of thanksgiving or full of complaints. Your mercy is unending. Even in your discipline you restrain yourself in ways we cannot know. May our mumbled words of gratitude and our fleeting praises find crevices where they can grow within your presence, Lord of light and morning. Amen." ___________________ " "Think on This: Why Remain Captive?" "..the Lord your God will bring you back from captivity"—Deuteronomy 30:3 (KJV) God's own people may sell themselves into captivity by sin. A very bitter fruit is this, of an exceeding bitter root. What a bondage it is when the child of God is sold under sin, held in chains by Satan, deprived of his liberty, robbed of his power in prayer, and his delight in the Lord! Let us.watch that we come not into such bondage; but if this has already happened to us, let us by no means despair. But we cannot be held in slavery forever. The Lord Jesus has paid too high a . price for our redemption to leave us in the enemy's hand. The way to freedom is, "Return unto the Lord thy God."' Where we first found salvation we shall find it again. At the foot of Christ's cross confessing sin we shall find pardon and deliverance. Moreover, the Lord will have us obey His voice according to all that He has commanded us, and we must do this with all our heart, and all our soul, and then our captivity shall end. Often depression of spirit and great misery of soul are removed as soon as we quit our idols and bow ourselves in obedience before the living God. We need not be captives. We may return to Zion's citizenship, and that speedily. Lord, turn our captivity!" ___________________ " "Benefits that come from reading the Bible" Psalms 119: 1-16 How much time to do you spend reading the Bible VS. reflecting on what you learned? What's one question you're asking or problem youre facing? How does the Bible speak to that issue? When was the last time you really delighted in your Bible reading time? Maybe its time to mix things up. Try a new study or pick a new time of day to meet with God."
