In every aspect of life and how we relate to Him, God has requirements. Are we free to show up in any way we want, or does He also specify how we should appear before Him and what He expects in our behavior?

Sermon Notes

A PARTIAL SET OF SCRIPTURES USED:

HOLY TIME from Friday sunset to Saturday sunset. It has requisites.
HOLY GROUND just as with Moses, because GOD is here among us.

Lev 23:1  And the LORD spoke to Moses, saying,
Lev 23:2  "Speak to the children of Israel, and say to them: 'The feasts of the LORD, which you shall proclaim to be holy convocations, these are My feasts.
1st FEAST mentioned is:

Lev 23:3  'Six days shall work be done, but the seventh day is a Sabbath of solemn rest, a holy convocation. You shall do no work on it; it is the Sabbath of the LORD in all your dwellings.

God wants to provoke us all to DO and BE better, improve our lives...
Mission Statement: Provokes us to GOOD works.

Heb 10:23  Let us hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering, for He who promised is faithful.
Heb 10:24  And let us consider one another in order to stir up love and good works,
Heb 10:25  not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as is the manner of some, but exhorting one another, and so much the more as you see the Day approaching.

Joh 4:24  God is Spirit, and those who worship Him must worship in spirit and truth."

Right Attitude and TRUTH...

Joh 13:35  By this all will know that you are My disciples if you have love for one another."

1Ti 3:15  but if I am delayed, I write so that you may know how you ought to conduct yourself in the house of God, which is the church of the living God, the pillar, and ground of the truth.

We have a load of work to do... Preaching the Gospel to the entire Planet !!!

Rom 10:14  How then shall they call on Him in whom they have not believed? And how shall they believe in Him of whom they have not heard? And how shall they hear without a preacher?
Rom 10:15  And how shall they preach unless they are sent? As it is written: "HOW BEAUTIFUL ARE THE FEET OF THOSE WHO PREACH THE GOSPEL OF PEACE, WHO BRING GLAD TIDINGS OF GOOD THINGS!"

Give God and Jesus Christ the respect and honor they deserve in the way you dress. HOW would you dress for an audience with the President?

Mat 6:14  "For if you forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you.
Mat 6:15  But if you do not forgive men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses.
Mat 5:23  Therefore if you bring your gift to the altar, and there remember that your brother has something against you,
Mat 5:24  leave your gift there before the altar, and go your way. First, be reconciled to your brother, and then come and offer your gift.

Gal 2:20  I have been crucified with Christ; it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me; and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself for me.

Isa 58:14  Then you shall delight yourself in the LORD; And I will cause you to ride on the high hills of the earth, And feed you with the heritage of Jacob your father. The mouth of the LORD has spoken."

Mat 12:35  A good man out of the good treasure of his heart brings forth good things, and an evil man out of the evil treasure brings forth evil things.
Mat 12:36  But I say to you that for every idle word men may speak, they will give account of it in the day of judgment.
Mat 12:37  For by your words you will be justified, and by your words you will be condemned."
