Sermon Title ~ "Sowing for Eternal Harvests"

Galatians 6: 7 - 10

7: Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap.
8: For he that soweth to his flesh shall of the flesh reap corruption; but he that soweth to the Spirit shall of the Spirit reap life everlasting.
9: And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not.
10: As we have therefore opportunity, let us do good unto all men, especially unto them who are of the household of faith.

I Thessalonians 1: 2 – 3

2: We give thanks to God always for you all, making mention of you in our prayers;
3: Remembering without ceasing your work of faith, and labour of love, and patience of hope in our Lord Jesus Christ, in the sight of God and our Father;

Greetings Everyone,

The sermon for this Sunday is: “Sowing for Eternal Harvests” from Galatians 6:7-10.  The topic is Christian Service and Consecration.  I was reading the book of James this morning, and was reminded again that if we claim to have Christ, there must be evidence by what we do.  James gives us some practical teaching about what it means to be a Christian and how we should live as such.  There is that old soul searching question: “If you were arrested for being a Christian, would there be enough evidence to convict you?”  WOW!!!  



I Prayed for you all by name this morning, as I do each week.  Let me know how I can Pray for you.  Thank you for the opportunity to serve Jesus and you at
Canby Church of the Nazarene.

Lord bless you all.
I love you,


Pastor Chuck

Practical Teaching for Christians

Weekly Chorus'

God is Always Good!!!

I was reflecting this morning how the Lord has been blessing us lately.  Last Sunday was truly an amazing day.  It just seems like there is not enough time in the morning service; we just get started worshipping and its over.  He has been meeting with us in a marvelous way.  Sunday evening was another special time.  I made an order of service, but we never got to it.  People were sharing testimonies, and praising the Lord, and before you knew it, it was over.  Last night during Prayer meeting the Lord again poured out His blessings on us as we sought Him in prayer.  We are seeing new faces in the services, and many are finding help at our altars every Sunday, PTL.  One thing I am sure of though is that Satan is not pleased with all these good things, and we can be sure he will try to undo what the Lord is doing in our midst.  Continue to pray, beloved.  We must not let up!

The Bible Study at our house is going good.  You can still join us on Tuesdays at
7:00 pm.  We will begin in the Beatitudes next Tuesday.  Remember next Sunday is Potluck immediately following the Morning Worship service.  This is a great opportunity to invite your friends to church.  God bless you all; I prayed for His blessing and help for you all this morning.  Please let me know how I can be praying for you.

No prayer; no blessing
Know prayer; know blessing

You are the best and I am truly blessed to be you pastor.  God bless you all real good!  I hope to see you this evening, and if not next Sunday.  You are all prayed for by name.


Praise the Lord!!!

I WILL ENTER HIS GATES

I will enter His gates with thanksgiving in my heart;
I will enter His courts with praise.
I will say this is the day that the Lord hath made;
I will rejoice for He has made me glad.
He has made me glad, He has made me glad;
I will rejoice for He has made me glad.
He has made me glad, He has made me glad;
I will rejoice for He has made me glad.

STRONG TOWER

Vs 1
Strong and mighty, strong to save us,
Like a fortress never failing.
Strong in battle, strong in kindness,
When we stray, Lord, You’re strong to find us.
When the winds come hard against us,
You are steadfast, You are true.
When the ground beneath us trembles,
Your foundation never moves.

Chorus:
Strong tower, high and glorious,
Strong tower, mighty in love.
Our refuge, our defender,
Strong tower, Lord above.

Vs 2
Strong to lead us through the shadows,
Strong to carry all our sorrows.
When the enemy surrounds us,
Closing in as darkness falls,
Though his armies rage against us,
They can never scale these walls.

Chorus:
Bridge:
You are my shelter, my shield.
You are the home I could never deserve.
Here I will serve ever under Your gaze.
Here I will serve ever singing Your praise.

Chorus: 2x
Tag:
Strong tower,  Lord above; Strong tower, Lord above.

Moving the Line 

As I write this my chest is still a little swollen with pride as I am reminded of the greatness of this land we live in the light of last week-end’s celebration of our independence as a nation under God.  Our nation was firmly established according to Judeo-Christian values.  To spin it any other way is show ones ignorance of the history of the United States of America.  “The heart of the wise inclines to the right, but the heart of the fool to the left.” Ecclesiastes 10:2 (God’s words not mine.)

God set the standard; God laid the line.  Just as surely as He gave us the “Thou shalt nots…” through Moses in Exodus 20, God gave us these words: “We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness,” (Declaration of Independence).  I wonder how far we have slipped as a nation from what the framers intended those words to mean.   God has laid the line and man cannot move it, but man attempts to remove the line of God by removing God from the equation, thus all the inaccurate spinning of our history.  Now when man lays a line it becomes moveable by the next generation.

How far has the line moved over the generations?  I guess we need to determine that by the meaning of: “…life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.”  God is sovereign over life.  Man cannot create life, and most definitely cannot determine with certainty its beginning or end. To end life prematurely by someone else is murder, and to end ones own life is suicide and is not acceptable to God.  God gave man only one decision in regards to life and that is how to live it, with Him or without Him, but not how to end it.  Now in regards to freedom, God has given us freedom to choose how we will live, but that there are consequences to our choices.  God says choose Him; and He will give us the abundant life, but that’s your choice.  In this day we are told what we can say even what we can think.  I don’t think this is what the founders intended freedom to be.  And the pursuit of happiness, well our current position on this is that everyone else is responsible for my happiness.  I think you can see how we have moved the line. 

Brothers and sisters, I think we as the Church of Jesus Christ need to reestablish our high calling as His people.  We cannot say everyone else is doing it so it must be alright.  In 1836 Col. William Barret Travis the commander of a little mission turned fortress called the Alamo addressed his men telling them of the desperate battle ahead of them.  History says he drew a line and asked all those willing to die for the cause to step over it.  I’m not drawing a new line; I’m just asking all who have a resolve to return to the strong foundations of God to step to the right side of the line. 
God bless America, and God bless you all.
