Text- John 10:9-10
I want for my sons. You want for your children? God wants for us! That’s why we are doing what we do here at OHC - intentional disciple making. We can live an extraordinary, overflowing, prosperous, abundant life! How?
1) Connect with God
He so wants to fellowship with you!
A) Worship - OHC value - A True worshiper! Romans 12:1-2 - Then you will find God! Seek, cry, hunger! You will know God’s will!! Celebrate! You are on the right path!
B) Prayer - OHC value - ”He fulfills the desires of those who fear him; he hears their cry and saves them.”
”If you remain in me and my words remain in you, ask whatever you wish, and it will be given you. This is to my Father's glory, that you bear much fruit, showing yourselves to be my disciples.” - John 15:7
God will work in amazing ways! Answering prayer! You will live blessed! ”Delight yourself in the LORD and he will give you the desires of your heart.”
Cost of raising a child starting today? Estimated to be $190,528 - Invested a lot!
2) Invest in the Gospel
The Gospel is good news! Romans-1:16-17, Hebrews 4:12 HOW?
A) Discipleship - OHC value - Psalm 119 - You must learn to know!! God’s word is our source of strength. You are strengthened! Feed on the word! You find your value! You will do great things for God! Take your Bible to work!
B) Stewardship - OHC value - 1) Investing in others - relationships - Who can you take under your wing? Boaz and Ruth - 2) Invest in your self! Giving, saving, living - I was so glad I learned how to give because I was investing in myself, my wife, my children, my neighbor! The last thing I want to do is steal from God! Or mismanage what he’s given me - I learned that God blesses those who invest! “’Bring the whole tithe into the storehouse, that there may be food in my house. Test me in this,’ says the LORD Almighty, ‘and see if I will not throw open the floodgates of heaven and pour out so much blessing that you will not have room enough for it.’”
You will see God blessing you in ways you cannot imagine! He uses good stewards to do great works!
