MESSAGE SUNDAY

THE WAY

1. INTRODUCTION

God works miracles in your personal life and in the lives of others, through you.

It is up to us to choose whether to enter the broad way or the narrow way – Matthew 7:13-14

God created human beings in his image and likeness, to:

-walk with us;

-be our friend;

-share power, glory, wealth, etc.

The most important thing for God is to keep the two commandments – Matthew 22:26-40:

-love God and all that is His;

-love your neighbor;

2. ENTERING THE WAY

The gateway to God’s way is not:
-organizations or churches;

-doctrines;

-good works or being good people.

The gateway to God’s way is Jesus.

The day you enter the path, you are made:

-Son of God – John 1:12

-Heir;

-New creation – 2 Corinthians 5:17

-Holy and righteous – Ephesians 1:4

-King and priest – Revelation 1:5

Now:
-We are no longer of this world;

-We have been delivered from the power of darkness;

-We have received authority to overcome;

-We are seated at the right hand of God;

3. WALKING THE PATH

There are two phases to walking the path:

Phase 1: Learning God’s system;

Phase 2: Serving God;

a) 1st PHASE – LEARNING GOD’S SYSTEM

Christianity is not a religion, but a way of life, where you live with God, your way and in your own way. It’s not just about visiting God; you have to have communion with God (just like a marriage).

First steps:

1st – surrender your life to Jesus;

2nd – attend a local church;

3rd – have communion with God;

4th – water baptism;

5th – baptism in the Holy Spirit;

6th – courses: NC, basic, and complementary;

7th – join a GF;

8th – attend Bible School;

b) 2nd PHASE – SERVING GOD

Serving God is not an option, but a condition for our salvation – Matthew 25
Serving God must be done with zeal and excellence.

Steps for serving God:
-take the deacons course;

-take the Community Church leader course;

-take the Community Church specialization course.

4. KNOW GOD BETTER

We need to know God better, to understand that there are things God tolerates and things God does not tolerate.

We must then:

1. Stop doing what God does not tolerate;

2. Tolerate what God tolerates;

5. EXPANSION

The true path always leads us to expansion.

The ministers’ task is to train believers, while the believers’ task is to do the work – Ephesians 4:11

The people will do the expansion:

-opening Community Churches;

-being Community Church leaders;

-opening churches;

-being pastors;
