The Lord of the Harvest

29th November 2008

As I pointed out in the beginning of the message from last Sunday morning, The Lord Jesus Christ asked believers to look upon the fields for they are ready for the harvest. Matthew 9:38 reminds us to ask the Lord of the Harvest to send for laborers into the harvest.  To help us pray more effectively, the folks from Frontline Missions have put together a prayer sheet to help us pray for those countries in the Eastern Hemisphere where the Good News of Jesus Christ is rarely — or never — heard.

If you would like to download a copy of this prayer sheet, complete with a map of the nations within the 10/40 Window, the names of the countries within this window and some information about each country, please click the map below. If we really “L.O.V.E.” others, we ought to pray the way the Lord taught us to pray.

God Is Able

23rd November 2008

On Sunday morning, November 23, we labored together to understand the beautiful proclamation in Ephesians 3:20.

In this glorious doxology (an expression of consummate praise to God), the Apostle Paul expressed the simple, yet profound premise that “God is Able!”

As I tried to demonstrate in this message, every true believer must begin with this simple, powerful concept. Click here to listen to this message.

Here is the message outline with some passages for additional study:

Praise and Exalt the God . . . Who is able.

This is the potential aspect – God’s capacity.

-         to do infinitely more

o       than we ask

o       than we think

Who is at work in us.

This is the practical aspect – God’s conducting

of His Work through us.

-         According to God’s Power

-         Presently working in us

Additional Study: Note the appeals for extravagant blessings: Philippians 1:9; 4:19, Colossians 1:9-11, 1 Thessalonians 3:11-12, 2 Thessalonians 1:3, 1 Corinthians 1:4-5

God is Able!

Matthew 10:28, Acts 20:32, Romans 4:20-22, 2 Cor. 9:8, Philippians 3:21, 2 Timothy 1:12, Hebrews 2:18; 7:25
