JESUS AND THE KOG? KOG living Now! 3/8/20, Jn

12:4-8, Mt 25-14-30 INTRO: Did Jesus say or preach

anything about socialism or capitalism during His

ministry? In recent years there has been divide in the

church about what type of government we should

support. In our country it is Socialism vs Capitalism.

Jesus mission was to declare the KOG: Mk 1:14-15

Jesus came into Galilee, preaching the gospel of

God, and saying, "The time is fulfilled, and the

kingdom of God is at hand; repent and believe in the

gospel." All His ministry centered on exposing

mankind to the KOG, how it works, what is does and

the benefits derived from it. So, is the KOG operative

on the structure of socialism or capitalism? Def of

capitalism: economic and political system in which a

country's trade and industry are controlled by private

owners for profit, rather than by the state. Socialism:

a political and economic theory of social organization

which advocates that the means of production,

distribution, and exchange should be owned or

regulated by the community as a whole. Webster’s

def: socialism advocates the ownership and control

of the means of production, capital, land, property,

etc., by the community [government] as a whole, and

their administration or distribution in the interests of

all people.” [ownership is] by society or the

community rather than by private individuals.”

Summation: Capitalism is a market-driven economy.

The state does not intervene in the economy, leaving

it up to market forces to shape society and life.

Socialism is characterized by state ownership of

businesses and services. Central planning is used to

attempt to make society more equitable

SERVANTS OR SONS? Kingdom Living Now! Pt 5,

3/1/20, Gal 3:29, 4:1-7, INTRO: So few in the ch

know why they are here, their purpose for existence.

I’m here to challenge the concepts you have been

taught at other places. Too many settle for

servanthood rather than sonship in the KOG. Man is

the crowning act of our intentional Creator. We exist

as God’s co-regents in a world created for us. We

are God’s crowning moment! In this text: We are

identified as heirs, sons, adopted, royalty.

Minister Jonathan Sloan 

INTRO: Only a few know

why they are here, their purpose for existence. This

series may challenge the concepts you have been

taught. Some may even think that it is haughty to

even consider the authority given to man by God.

That man should be humble and powerless. Man is

the crowning act of our intentional Creator. We exist

as God’s co-regents in a world created for us. We

are God’s crowning moment! Mat 6:9-10 "Pray, then,

in this way: 'Our Father who is in heaven, Hallowed

be Your name. 10 'Your kingdom come. Your will be

done, On earth as it is in heaven.

PROP: To operate on kingdom principles we must

recognize how it works.

MYSTERIES OF THE KINGDOM pt 1 ‘Kingdom

Living’ 1/26/20 Lk 8:1-15, INTRO: Have you ever had

someone try to explain something and you just didn’t

get it? Then three days later you have an “Ah-ha”

moment. Until Jesus came Israel had never had an

“ah-ha” moment about the Kingdom of God. Jesus

spoke often about the KOG, He exampled,

demonstrated and preached about it. His ministry

was to shed light on the purpose, the operation and

function of the KOG. To understand the Kingdom we

must search, pursue, track down, chase, seek, hunt,

examine, explore, look for and reach out for the KOG

to discover its mysteries. The mysteries aren’t hidden

for the purpose of keeping the Kingdom away from

us; but to discovery the KOG we must strive to

understand it and obtain it.

PROP: Mysteries of the Kingdom must be

discovered.

CHASE THE FIRE! Fire Chasers pt 2, 1/12/20,

INTRO: 1 Kings 18:20-39, Act 4:23-31, INTRO:

Daniel fast: Have you ever been dissatisfied with

your Christian walk? Hungry for more of Jesus,

looking for an improvement in your life? Are you

desperate enough to stretch yourself, to move off of

plumb? Maybe you are just fed up with you or your

situation. To have fire I must feed the little fire I

already have.

PROP: Prayer and the right timing, causes the fire of

God to fall on us! The God who answers by fire

CONTROLLED BURNS! Pt 3, Fire Chasers, 1/29/20,

Ezek 21:1-4 INTRO: Control burns purpose is to stop

wildfires from progressing. It’s time to take the brakes

off. In this text Jer/Israel is a type of the body of

Christ. We can’t change other churches or others

people but we can change. It will take fire; Holy fire to

change each of us.

PROP: God will not accept us on our terms. We want

fire; we must come with no strings attached.

CHASE THE FIRE! Fire Chasers pt 2, 1/12/20,

INTRO: 1 Kings 18:20-39, Act 4:23-31, INTRO:

Daniel fast: Have you ever been dissatisfied with

your Christian walk? Hungry for more of Jesus,

looking for an improvement in your life? Are you

desperate enough to stretch yourself, to move off of

plumb? Maybe you are just fed up with you or your

situation. To have fire I must feed the little fire I

PROP: Prayer and the right timing, causes the fire of

God to fall on us! The God who answers by fire.

NEVER STOP! Pt 14, back to school, 12/29/19, 1 Co

15:58, 16:13-14 onmb INTRO: Most success stories

never start that way. Those who reach the pinnacle

of life start out with many setbacks, failures, misfires

and missteps. Christianity is no different. Paul sums

up his instruction to this fledgling ch. to never quit,

don’t stop, keep persisting, keep persevering and

keep pressing.

PROP: Each setback is step closer to your victory

THE PROCESS AND THE PRESENT! Pt 13, back to

school, 12/22/19, I Co 15: 20-49 INTRO: Christmas

is the gift giving season. After opening all the gifts,

you discovered that Santa sort hid a card on the tree

and that the big gift was really in another room or

outside? How exciting! Likewise our gift from heaven

came as baby but He was born to die. The big gift

wasn’t His babyhood but the present He left for us.

PROP: A biblical glimpse at the process and the

present awaiting in our future.

THE PURPOSE AND POWER OF PROPHECY

12/1/19, PT 10, Back to school, 1 Co 14:1-5 INTRO:

Paul explains the use of spiritual gifts to very young,

yet active new ch with no real ch experience. It

seems the ch was in a learning curve on how to

operate in the gifts of the Spirit. Paul is teaching that;

all the gifts of the spirit should be wrapped up in love.

RESURRECTION SETTLES IT! 12/15/19, Back to

school pt 12 1 Co 15:1-19 INTRO: The facts and

power of the R. What would life be like if our children

never grew up? Imagine changing diapers the rest of

your life or being asked a 1000 questions a day?

Paul wanted this baby church to grow up, mature and

become healthy. However they had a slow start.

Corinth: 200,000 pop, commercial center, deep

demonic entrenchment, Poseidon-Neptune Latin,

spirit of the sea, two ports, Aphrodite (Venus), 1000

female slaves, temple prostitutes, no charge to men,

if served Aphrodite. Immorality was a virtue. All

female dominated society. The ch was a young,

immature. They had no church heritage, experience,

they had come straight out of the world. They were

growing, developing, maturing in spiritual matters.

They were babies in everything.

PROP: The R of Jesus is the power of the Gospel

TONGUES FOR TODAY! 12/8/19, Pt11, back to school1 Co 14:10-33 INTRO: Last wk: purpose and power of prophecy. Paul explains the use of spiritual gifts to very young, yet active new ch with no real ch experience. It seems the ch was in a learning curve on how to operate in the gifts of the Spirit. Paul is teaching that; all the gifts of the spirit should be wrapped up in LOVE. He said that the proclamation gifts are for edification, exhortation, consolation.  PROP: Never be afraid to embrace the gift of tongues.

WRAPPED IN LOVE! Back to school pt 9, 11/24/19,

1 Co 12:31-14:1, INTRO: Paul explains the use of

spiritual gifts to very young, yet active new ch with no

real ch experience. It seems the ch was in a learning

curve on how to operate in the gifts of the Spirit. In

this season of gift giving, it is appropriate to talk

about gift giving also. In my family growing up

Christmas presents were always wrapped up, half

the fun of Christmas. Unwrapped was not very

exciting. Paul is teaching that; all the gifts of the spirit

should be wrapped up in LOVE. We are to avoid

operating in the gifts for self-gratification or a self-

serving prideful manner but to humbly approach the

gifts with a willingness to help others.

Prop: Gifts wrapped in love are the best!

THE POWER OF THE STRETCH! 11-10-19 Lk 5:12-13

 Mt 12:9-13 INTRO: Bogus video on FB. Everyday

stretch before lifting/walking. When trying to get into

shape, stretching can be painful but necessary.

Finished week of Fire Chasers. It’s time for each of

us to experience the power of the stretch.

PROP: W/O a stretch we will never be Fire Chasers!

27TH FOUNDERS' DAY!

 CELEBRATING PASTORS STEVE AND BALINDA DEITZ

Co 12, INTRO: The Corth. Ch was a young, immature body. They had no church heritage, experience, they had come straight out of the world. They were growing, developing, maturing in spiritual matters. They were babies in everything. Clueless about what Ch should be like. So now all the egghead theologians have taught a powerless gospel. So that now in the US the Ch is programmed but powerless. Fads run thru the Ch. One of those fads is how to grow a ch. quickly by using canned/programed services that let people feel comfortable but with no conviction. Using lights, videos, multiple canned services that run on one hr. schedules; simply programs the power of the HS out of their worship experience. Bible commentators have belittled the Corinthian ch and its perceived immaturity. Downplaying the use of the power of Godand spiritual gifts as necessary for today’s ch. Sayingthat the Corth. Ch. was out of order as would any ch. like that would be today. Therefor while 85% of Ch’s worldwide, operate in the gifts and encourage everyone to pray in tongues, in the US it is reversed. So how do we grow this ch? By getting back to the power and staying away from programs. PROP: Spiritual gifts are a must for today’s ch.

1 Cor 10

Heb 8-13

We have an advantage, we can observe what should be proper behavior in Ch. How we act, what is said, how we dress ect. Paul was writing to a messy church, a ch. that needed real, practical answers to life’s difficult situations. Corinth: 200,000 pop, commercial center, deep demonic entrenchment, Two major cult temples Poseidon-Neptune, Aphrodite (Venus), 1000 female slaves, temple prostitutes, no charge to men, if served Aphrodite. Immorality was a virtue. All female dominated society. They had no church heritage, experience, they had come straight out of the world. They were growing, developing, maturing in spiritual matters. They were babies in everything.
INTRO: What is proper in Church?

LIBERTY IS A PRIVILEGE! Pt 5, 

Back to school. Study of 1Co. INTRO: What do we

allow to regulate our Christianity? What is our

motivation for living out our Christian faith? Paul says

love for others should be the reason for the freedoms

we choose. Yes, scripture does provide guidelines to

live by but the motivation for abiding within these

guidelines should always be, how it will affect others?

PROP: The boundaries of freedom is love.

Polygamist society Sexual depravity was rampant.

V1-2, Sex is good! Now, getting down to the

questions you asked in your letter to me. First, Is it a

good thing to have sexual relations? 2 Certainly—but

only within a certain context. It's good for a man to

have a wife, and for a woman to have a husband.

Sexual drives are strong, but marriage is strong

enough to contain them and provide for a balanced

and fulfilling sexual life in a world of sexual disorder.

Protect this House/Slogan I WILL. 1 Cor 5:1-7

(Open) Corinth was one of the largest cities in the Roman world. Corinth was located in

Greece. They worshiped roman gods. Corinth was a port city with two main ports that

occupied trade routes.,strategic commercial city that sought international pleasures.

Corinth was the center of the sports arena all around the world. The temple of

Apollo.Corinth was a lot like the big cities we visit today. Action City. The church of

Corinth was a small home church. A possibility that the church met in Priscilla and

Aquila‘s house.The church was started as a result of the mission trips that Paul was on.

The church was founded by Paul and was probably about 5 years old at this time

PRACTICAL APPLICATIONS! Back to school Pt 3, 1Co

6 INTRO: Have you noticed we don’t live in a perfect

world. It can get messy, and way too real, especially for

Christians. We need practical answers to the difficult

situations of life. Paul was writing to a messy church, a

ch. that needed real, practical answers to life’s difficult

situations. Corinth: 200,000 pop, commercial center,

deep demonic entrenchment, Two major cult temples

Poseidon-Neptune, Aphrodite (Venus), 1000 female

slaves, temple prostitutes, no charge to men, if served

Aphrodite. Immorality was a virtue. All female dominated

society. They had no church heritage, experience, they

developing, maturing in spiritual matters. They were

babies in everything.

PROP: How Christians should navigate life in the real

What would life be like if our children never

grew up? Imagine changing diapers the rest of your

life or being asked a 1000 questions a day? Paul

wanted this baby church to grow up, mature and

become healthy. Slow start, as a ch they were

starting slow. Corinth: 200,000 pop, commercial

center, deep demonic entrenchment, Poseidon-

Neptune Latin, spirit of the sea, two ports, Aphrodite

(Venus), 1000 female slaves, temple prostitutes, no

charge to men, if served Aphrodite. Immorality was a

young, immature. They had no church heritage,

experience, they had come straight out of the world.

They were growing, developing, maturing in spiritual

matters. They were babies in everything. Like all

Christians they and we have a tendency to fall back

on the flesh rather than depending on the Spirit.

Eat My Dust...... 

Anyone who is trying to serve the Lord will face 

resistance. If comes in different forms but mostly thru

people, even Christians. They are like no see-ums, 

gnats at the beach, almost invisible but they can 

pack a powerful sting. There will always be gnats 

around, critics. They are sent to you slow down, 

saying it doesn’t take all that. Implying you are too 

radical, too intense, too hyper for Jesus. They want 

to rain on your fiery faith, cool you off, put water on 

your faith. You have enemies who want to 

demoralize you. Get you to stop, back off. Fight the 

good fight of faith. Refuse to compromise, back 

down, slow up, change course. 

Sex!

Sex, masturbation, LGBTQ lesbianism, cross 

dressing, transvestites, near nudity, Society wants to 

move our moral plumb line. Ex: Influence the leaders 

change a nation, Obama, went into office stating 

marriage is between a man and a women, 8 yrs later,

endorses same sex marriage. Mat 16:11 (NLT2) 

‘Beware of the yeast of the Pharisees and 

Sadducees.’” 

TABOO! Democrat/Republican or Biblicans? Pt 4,

something to offend, I may sound unfeeling, I 

may say something that you disagree with. My 

purpose is to help not hurt, I will stand solely on 

the WOG for my opinions. Salt and light, engage 

the culture, There is a warning in v13, ‘if salt 

becomes tasteless’. Never be accused of being a 

tasteless Christian. We have stayed in the shadow of

politics too long. There are many ways to get 

involved, start locally; help at voting precinct, city 

council, ect. Don’t be a deist. God created it, we can 

only watch it run down, so no need to make a 

difference. 

PROP: Should Christians be involved in politics?

don’t know the cause of mental issues it or have a 

cure for it. They can treat the symptoms but cannot 

cure. Mental illness: suicide, fear, depression- 

(feelings of severe despondency and dejection from 

within the mind) oppression (prolonged cruel or 

unjust treatment or control, from an outside source). 

Anxiety, ADHD, bipolar, Post traumatic stress 

disorder (PTSD) traumatic experience, Doubt, 

loneliness (demonic oppression, demonization?) 

STRESS. Should we place mental illness in the 

same category as every other forms of illness? What 

do you take if the mind/spirit are sick?

Join us as we learn exactly what the courts of heaven are, and where they can be found in scripture. 

IT’S A COMEBACK! 4/28/19, Mk 14: 27-31, INTRO: 

Everybody loves a good comeback story. When 

facing impossible adversity, somehow people 

overcomes the odds and wins. History is full of them. 

Tiger woods, 11 yrs. since last major (Masters) 3 

surgeries and one huge divorce. Michael Jordon: 

another kid in the gym, with 50 of his classmates, 

trying out for the Emsley A. Laney High School 

varsity basketball team. At 5’10”, couldn’t dunk. 

Didn’t make it, went home, locked himself in his room

and cried. Then he picked himself up and turned the 

cut into motivation. “Whenever I was working out and

got tired and figured I ought to stop, I’d close my 

eyes and see that list in the locker room without my 

name on it,

DEFYING ALL ODDS! 4/21/19, 1 Pet 1:17-21 Lk 24:1-12, 

INTRO: VIDEO, What are the chances of anyone fulfilling all 

61 and over 300 references to Biblical prophetic predictions? 

Hebraic interpretation requires that for a prophecy to be true is

must be 100% accurate. 61 prophecies and 300 references to

those in Bible. 500 to 1000 yrs before

The Heart of Money

By: Minister Marcus Byrd

HEART FOR THE HOUSE! Pt1, 3/7/19, Heb 10:19-25 

INTRO: Congregating Statistics: 40% of Americans “say” 

they go to church weekly. -20 % are actually attending at 

the rate of 1.8 times per month. More than 80 percent of 

Americans are finding more fulfilling things to do on 

weekends. Why is the ch sporadic in its congregating? 

Proper translation of Gk word ‘church’ is congregation: 

def: to congregate, to come together, in one location. 

 Do we have a heart for the house? 

Heart for the House Series

NO ONE PLANS ON FALLING AWAY; NO ONE EVER SAYS, “TODAY, I THINK I’LL TRY TO 

DEVELOP A HARDENED, COLD HEART.” THESE ENTER THROUGH SCHEMES AND TRICKS 

THE ENEMY USES AGAINST US.  WE MUST NEVER BE SO NAÏVE AS TO THINK “WE WILL 

NEVER WALK  AWAY FROM GOD”.  “If you think you stand take care lest you fall.”  We know that 

we live in the end time. 

Matthew speaks by the Holy Spirit a warning regarding the time we live in.

Minister Jonathan Sloan

Government shut down: Many well 

paid government employees after missing their 1st

pay check last week are freaking out! Why? 78% of 

Americans live paycheck to paycheck. 58% have less the

$1,000 in reserve and can only pay $400 in unexpected 

expense. Most New Year’s resolutions have collapsed. 

They started out with good intentions but already have 

failed to execute. The Bible makes it clear that God 

wants His children to prosper. Not everyone will 

experience this promise. To receive the benefit of God’s 

promise of plenty you have to take it by faith.  Faith is 

believing, speaking and acting on His Word.

Thinking About Prosperity

2-17-19

Walls are part of our history. God built the first one around the Garden of Eden. Nehemiah rebuilds the wall of Jerusalem: The place of 

blessing. Many are in need of repairing the wall of 

financial security. Thru attacks, negligence and poor 

decisions we have holes in the walls of our finances.

Paper bag, avoiding the obvious. 

To stabilize our financial life we must apply 

discipline, self-control, restraint, will power and the 

money principles of the Bible. “Statistically in every ch. in 

our area, 78% are living pay check to pay check, 58% in 

this room have less the $1,000 in reserve and could only 

pay maybe $400 in unexpected expense. Pr 16:3 Commit

your works to the LORD And your plans will be established.

 Mat 17:24-27 INTRO: Are you struggling over 

lack of money? Do you have enough surplus to cover the

cost of a set of tire or repair, what if your frig breaks, 

would be able to replace it w/o paying for it on credit? 

Most divorces are rooted in money mismanagement. 

Accounting term, red negative balance; black positive 

balance. Our goal is live in the black so we can bless 

others. Marcus Benjamin. This series is to help you and 

others you invite.

 Christmas season, many are wearied by 

preparing for the season. Cooking, special gatherings, 

busyness. Life can wear on us. So many things can pull 

on us, to the point we miss the reason for the season. 

Weariness/stress when not relieved can lead to things 

like heart disease, diabetes, thyroid issues, abuse of 

alcohol, drugs, effects on our immune system 

compounding issues like fatigue, arthritis, autoimmune 

disorders, chronic infections, sleep disorders, lack of 

concentration, muscle pain ect. These keep us from 

being the best that God wants us to be. Devil, demons – 

to distribute destinies.
