Encouragement

(Mat 28:19) Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost:

(Mat 28:20) Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I

am with you alway, even unto the end of the world. Amen.

EVANGELISM

(Eph 4:12) For the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for

the edifying of the body of Christ:(Eph 4:13) Till we all come in the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the fulness of

Christ:(Eph 4:14) That we henceforth be no more children, tossed to and fro, and

carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the sleight of men, and

cunning craftiness, whereby they lie in wait to deceive;

EDIFYING

(Mat 22:35) Then one of them, which was a lawyer, asked him a question, tempting him, and saying, Master,

which is the great commandment in the law? Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt

love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy

mind. This is the first and great commandment. And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour

as thyself. On these two commandments hang all the law and

the prophets.

ENCOURAGEMENT

1.Making Sunday mornings a priority

2.Getting involved in a life group

5.Contribution in corporate prayer

(Rom 12:1) I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable

unto God, which is your reasonable service.

(Rom 12:2) And be not conformed to this world: but be ye

transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and

perfect, will of God.

Conformed or Transformed

I. True transformation

is based on GIVING

(Heb 13:15) By him therefore let us offer the sacrifice of praise to God continually, that is, the

fruit of our lips giving thanks to his name.

Psa 51:15-17) O Lord, open thou my lips; and my mouth shall shew

forth thy praise. For thou desirest not sacrifice; else would I give it: thou delightest not in burnt offering. The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit: a broken

and a contrite heart, O God, thou wilt not despise.

A. Giving of the Soul

(Rom 12:1) I beseech you therefore, BRETHREN, by the

mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your

reasonable service.




(Mat 16:24) Then said Jesus unto his disciples, If any man will come

after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow

me.(Mat 16:25) For whosoever will save his life shall lose it: and

whosoever will lose his life for my sake shall find it.

(Mat 16:26) For what is a man profited, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? or what shall a man give in exchange

for his soul?

(1Pe 2:4) To whom coming, as unto a living stone, disallowed

indeed of men, but chosen of God, and precious,

(1Pe 2:5) Ye also, as lively stones, are built up a spiritual

house, an holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices, acceptable

to God by Jesus Christ.


B. Giving of the Body

(Rom 12:1) I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies

of God, that ye present YOUR BODIES a living sacrifice, holy,

acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service.




(Rom 6:12-13) Let not sin therefore reign in your mortal body, that ye should obey it in the lusts thereof. Neither yield ye your members as

instruments of unrighteousness unto sin: but yield yourselves unto God, as

those that are alive from the dead, and your members as instruments of

righteousness unto God.

(Rom 6:16) Know ye not, that to whom ye yield yourselves servants to obey, his servants ye are to whom ye

obey; whether of sin unto death, or of obedience unto righteousness?

(1Co 9:27) But I keep under my body, and bring it into subjection: lest that by

any means, when I have preached to others, I myself should be a

castaway.



C. Giving of the Mind




transformed by the RENEWING OF YOUR MIND, that ye may prove

what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.

(Col 1:21) And you, that were sometime alienated and enemies in

your mind by wicked works, yet now hath he reconciled

(Col 1:22) In the body of his flesh through death, to present you holy and unblameable and unreproveable in his

sight:

(Col 1:23) If ye continue in the faith grounded and settled, and be not moved away from the hope of the gospel, which ye have heard, and

which was preached to every creature which is under heaven; whereof I Paul

am made a minister;

(Eph 4:22) That ye put off concerning the former

conversation the old man, which is corrupt according to the deceitful

lusts;

(Eph 4:23) And be renewed in the spirit of your mind;

(Eph 4:24) And that ye put on the new man, which after God is created

in righteousness and true holiness.

(Col 3:8) But now ye also put off all these; anger, wrath, malice, blasphemy,

filthy communication out of your mouth.

(Col 3:9) Lie not one to another, seeing that ye have put off the old

man with his deeds;

(Col 3:10) And have put on the new man, which is renewed in knowledge after the image of him that created

him:

(2Pe 1:5-10) And beside this, giving all diligence, add to your faith virtue; and to virtue knowledge; And to knowledge

temperance; and to temperance patience; and to patience godliness; And to godliness brotherly kindness;

and to brotherly kindness charity. For if these things be in you, and abound, they make you that ye shall neither be barren

nor unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ. But he that lacketh these things is blind, and cannot see afar off, and hath forgotten that he

was purged from his old sins. Wherefore the rather, brethren, give diligence to make your calling and

election sure: for if ye do these things, ye shall never fall:

A. Salvation isn't the

end result

(2Co 5:17) Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new

creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are

become new.

(Eph 2:10) For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which

God hath before ordained that we should walk in them.

(Rom 8:29) For whom he did foreknow, he also did

predestinate to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among

many brethren.

(Jas 1:22) But be ye doers of the word, and not

hearers only, deceiving your own selves.
