DAD'S DAILY BREAD

Sermon Notes Pastor Koby Orr

9 And so, from the day we heard, we have not ceased to pray for you, asking that you may be filled with the knowledge of his will in all spiritual wisdom and understanding, 10 so as to walk in a manner worthy of the Lord, fully pleasing to him: bearing fruit in every good work and increasing in the knowledge of God; Col 1:9-10

The word of God is the only anchor we need to tether ourselves to Jesus. Ask myself this question, “AM I A FOLLOWER OF JESUS”? What does my fruit look like? A true Christian is a CHANGED Christian! The Gospel should change the way we live every second of our lives.

1. The Good News of Jesus changes the way we think. (vs 9)
   • The spirit must first enable us! Rom 8:6-7, 2 Cor 5:17,
   • We must choose to engage. Col 3:2
     • APPLICATION: We need to be Christians, We need to be intentional! READ the Word, PRAY the Word, MEMORIZE the Word. Remember that our sinful flesh hates the things of God. You need His Spirit. He is our power to resist! Make Him your most important priority!! Is my heart always fixed on God?
2. The Good News of Jesus changes the way we act. ( vs 10)
   • God has to liberate us! We are meant to be a visible invitation to the Gospel. We are set free from sin! He is our master. He gives us power to resist!
   • We have to choose to do what is right! Rom 6:12-13 God gives us the power we need to resist the flesh and the enemy!
     • APPLICATION: Remember who God is and what He actually deserves. God is not made up in my mind. He is the God of the bible, He deserves our obedience! BE OBEDIENT! Remember what He has done! “WHO AM I THAT GOD WOULD BE MINDFUL OF ME?” How we act will show us what we truly know and believe about God!

Instead of just confessing Jesus, live out your confession. Make your life a mission for Jesus. Don’t seek the same things everyone else does for hope and comfort. Ask myself daily “Am I a follower of Jesus?” What is my fruit saying about my relationship with Jesus? ( Col 1:10, Matt 7:17-18, Gal 2:20, Phil 4, Matt 7:21. YOUR WORDS NEED TO BE ACCOMPANIED WITH ACTIONS!!! Do I truly know Jesus or do I just know about Him?? Does my fruit match the words coming off my lips?

CALL TO ACTION: Stay Humble, Stay Fruitful, Repent Daily!!

A TRUE CHRISTIAN IS A CHANGED CHRISTIAN!!!!

IN HIS NAME
