God has always desired to have a relationship with you. He wants to co-create with you, out of a heart relationship with Him. God’s design for creation was to adopt His heart out of love and relationship, so that we begin to make decisions based on that heart relationship with Him, and we begin to do things like Him so that He is represented in the earth through that expression. He wants you to love Him so much that when you do things on the earth, it’s out of the context of relationship with Him.
King David’s heart was to build a temple for God to come and dwell, at the cost of his own interests and comfort. He had a passion for the presence of God. A heart for the New Testament, but living in the Old Testament. When we pursue Him, it’s not for what He can do for us, it’s simply pursuing who He is. We aren’t asking for just a visitation, but for Him to come and find a place He can dwell. We are making that the most important thing – more important than our own interests and comfort. We welcome Him above any of our own agendas. His Presence Is Everything!
Sermon Notes
Come, Lord Jesus! The Kingdom has come already, it is still coming and it will come in totality. Chad Everett, Lead Pastor of The Roads Church gives us the picture of the end-times through scripture, and shows us the end-times Jesus. Jesus is coming quickly, and He is bringing His reward to give to each one’s faithful, obedience to what He’s asked them to do – your assignment. Church, we are the bride of Christ, married to Jesus. And the Spirit and the Bride (the Church) say, “COME!” The Saints are those who keep the commandments of God and the faith of Jesus that they might have the right to the tree of life. Of all the details about the end times, what He wants is for us to fall in love with the “WHO” – Jesus! Are you ready? Are you keeping His commandments?
Sermon Notes
Will we bow to the beast? There will not be an obvious cut and dry line where you choose and stand in line to worship God or worship Satan. The Bible says that even the elect will be deceived and depart from the faith. In Genesis 3, Adam & Eve never said, “I choose to worship Lucifer.” or “I renounce God.” No. There was a cunning serpent that deceived them into choosing to obey and submit to his authority over God, and in that moment they died. The Deceiver is conditioning the world right now to control what we do and what we think, and there will be a Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego moment where you will choose to stand for what you believe and what Jesus says. Get conditioned right now.
Sermon Notes
CHURCH – Revelation 13 will happen! Those who have been born again, will NOT worship the anti-Christ. Everyone else will. Why? Because they don’t know. The only way we will know, is because we have the knowledge of God given to us that we will see things that other people don’t see. We’ll be awakened to things, and have revelation of things that they will not have, and we need to tell those who don’t know.
