Sermon Notes - Order in the House Series - Daughters of Desperation 1.30.11

Sunday 1/30/11

Pastor A.L. Harris

Series: Order in the House

“Daughters of Desperation”

Genesis 19:29-38

Isaiah 4:1

Desperation is a result of losing hope. Losing hope is a failure to trust God or live by faith. If you are not careful, desperation will lead you down a road of compromise. Desperation mode is the overwhelming desire for companionship, need to be loved and to love, and a great desire to be married.

1) Whenever you stop trusting God and take matters into your own hands, you will always create a mess.

2) Never make concessions that God does not honor.

3) Whenever you lower your godly standards, it will always lead to compromise.

Consequences of Compromise:

1) Pre-marital sex

2) Unwanted pregnancy, which could lead to an abortion

3) You could have a baby out of wedlock and the man abandons you and the baby

4) Contracting an Sexually Transmitted Disease

5) You could find yourself living with a man that has promised to marry you

6) You could end up with a physically or verbally abusive husband

7) You could end up being unequally yoked

Continue to trust God and don’t lower your godly standards for anyone. As long as you compromise, Boaz can’t come. A “Boaz” is a man that first loves God, and loves you and will provide for you.

Sermon Notes - The Next Level Man - 1.23.11

Sunday 1/23/11
Pastor A.L. Harris
Series: Order in the House
“The Next Level Man”

Psalms 37:37
1 Corinthians 9:24-27

Potential: the ability to become and the ability to achieve.
Perfect: blameless, spiritually mature.
A Next Level Man is a man who has maximized his potential. One can not be a Next Level Man without the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit comes to help you reach your full God given potential.

Men are naturally competitive, it is natural for me to sacrifice for a trophy or medal. Paul likens our race to that of an athlete. (1 Corinthians 9: 24-27) If you want to be Next Level Man, you have to demand more of yourself – doing so allows you to reach for more. We must give the Holy Spirit authority in our lives so we may reach our full potential. Allow the Holy Spirit to take you to lofty heights in him.

Question: “If God were picking an Olympic team to represent him in the earth, would he select you based on your spiritual level?”
“Can God look at you and say you are a Next Level Man?”
“What is stopping you from becoming that Next Level Man?”

All of a sudden in God, you are able to reach heights you could not reach. It’s not about being “perfect”, it’s about walking in spiritual maturity.

What qualifies you to be a Next Level Man?
1) God must be Lord of the man’s life.
2) He must love righteousness and hate sin.
3) He must pray daily and on a consistent basis.
4) He must live by the word of the Lord.
5) He must possess wisdom. Have understanding of a matter, knowing what the outcome will be.
6) He must possess integrity and moral standards. There is no conflict between his private and public life.
7) He must love his wife.
8) He must father his children.

Sermon Notes - Order in the House Series - Order of the Man - 1.16.11

Sunday 1/16/11
Pastor A.L. Harris
Series: Order in the House
“Order of the Man”

Genesis 1:27; 2:15-17

Every man has been created by God for purpose. Man’s purpose is to bring glory to God. When man is out of order, he can’t bring glory to God.

Isaiah 43:7 “Everyone who is called by my name, Whom I have created for my glory; I have formed him, yes, I have made him.”

If you are going to affect change, you have to model being a man of order. Many of the ills today are caused by man being out of order. From the moment Adam disobeyed God, his life was out of order. Adam walked with God before he was disobedient. After Adam was disobedient, he hid from God. His wife hid also. Whatever you are connected to is affected by your disobedience. When you are out of order, you can’t do your assignment. Disobedience brings disorder and dysfunction.

God’s Intended Order for Man
1) Every man has purpose.
Genesis 1:27

2) Man was created to live in the presence of God.
Genesis 2:15-17
Out of God’s presence flows everything you need.

3) Every man has been given an assignment.
Genesis 2:15-17
Where you are is simply not to make money, but it is for your kingdom assignment. Our job is not our source. God is our source.
Matthew 5:16

4) Every man is called to live according to God’s commandments.
Genesis 2:17
Isaiah 1:19
He that obeys God will prosper. Psalms 1
