I just finished listening to the first sermon last night, PastorWay. I've gotta tell you, you definitely have the gift for preaching.

For one thing, you say a LOT, so there's plenty of content.
Secondly, there was no fluff. It was all good important stuff. Not a wasted word, in my opinion.
Thirdly, you spoke with confidence and authority. You spoke as a man who KNEW the truth, not one who was tiptoeing through different opinions as he went along.
Fourthly, there is a passion and urgency to your sermon. It wasn't lifeless and simply a "talk." Your sermon was as from a man burdened with impacting your congregation; their was a necessary "weight" to the whole thing.

I'm sure there are more good points that I'm leaving out, but I just wanted to mention some of the stuff I was thinking about I as was listening last night.

I will be sure to listen to your others. You are an EXCELLENT preacher, PastorWay! Your congregation is extremely blessed to have such a man in their midst, but I'm sure they already know that.

I don't want to come across as a "sermon reviewer" because I think that's wrong, and that type of listening has the wrong aim; but I just wanted to list some points to say why I thought it was particularly good in comparison with other sermons I'm hearing these days.
 
Great news indeed Phillip. After listening to the two you sent me on cds I have missed your precious exhortation and illumination of the Word. Thank you for making these available pastor.

PastorWay,

Is there any way to download them to a machine, per se? Or do you have to listen online?

I listen to sermons, etc. whilst working out, other wise if I try to listen whilst driving I could get 100 miles off course. :bigsmile:

This was for Maranatha, but also for any of you who may be interested!

As we have entered this new year, making resolutions and preparing to move forward in the work that God has for us, we need to have a clear vision of where we are headed and how we will get there! To that end, I began preaching a series of three messages from the Book of Haggai this morning and wanted you to have access to this message.

The series is titled "The Curse of Me-Centered Religion" and the first message in the series is titled "A Word of Rebuke." Our text this morning was Haggai 1:1-15. We also examined briefly 1 Cor 3:1-17 and Rev 3:14-21 as we addressed the dangers and obstacles that stand in our way as we prepare to remain steadfast in this new year, seeking to "Go, Bring, and Build." That phrase, taken from Haggai 1:8 will be the theme of our focus for growth and discipleship this year.

Every member of the church needs to hear this message, with a heart prepared to obey the Word of God as we establish our course for the coming months. To obtain a copy of the introduction, an outline, or transcript, please email me.

You can download or listen to the message on our Sermon Audio site at :
A Word of Rebuke

Please feel free to let me know if you have any questions or comments about the message, or about our vision for 2006 as it unfolds over the coming weeks.

Go to church vs. BE the church

This week as I was preparing the message I was to preach today - a text that I had determined to preach at least 6 weeks ago as I prayed about the challenge and vision our church needed for the New Year - I was struck by how people in so many churches, ours included, will come for worship (GO to church) but then not do anything toward other believers throughout the week (BE the church) - no service, no encouragement, no ministry. Fellowship and service seems to only take place within the BUILDING where the church meets. They only see each other one or two days a week and that only for the span of the worship services. They GO to church but refuse to BE the church.

And so many who live like this then complain when their church does not grow!

I have been convicted in this series I am preaching from Haggai, about how the people built their own houses and left the Temple in ruins. The rebuke was strong (A Word of Rebuke - Haggai 1:1-15), the response quick and thorough (A Word of EncouragementHaggai 2:1-9), but now this third message is amazing to me!

In preparing and working through the text, in the third and fourth messages found in Haggai 2:10-23, we find A Word of Promise. But with the promise comes this indictment - the people thought it was enough to come worship God and offer sacrifices all the while they were failing to build the Temple. God rejected their worship and cursed them because they tried to continue on in worship without meeting His requirements for holiness - rebuilding the Temple.

In the application of this text I have established that we, the church, are the Temple of the Holy Spirit, and that we cannot work to build up self to the neglect of the Body. It has been a powerful follow up to the messages on fellowship I preached for 4 months in 2005. But look at this: when people show up for worship, when they GO to church (as consumers, and spectators, centered on what they can get from the experience) and think they have satisified God but then FAIL TO BUILD THE CHURCH UP, God declares they are unholy and their worship is completely unacceptable.

The promise of course is that if the people will obey, then He will bless them. But what a point. The church is being disciplined because while people GO to church they fail to BE the church - they are in it for what they can get instead of what they are commanded to give - and as such it is unholiness - akin to offering sacrifices without the completion of the Temple! Their worship is an UNCLEAN thing. It is the worship of self, not to be mistaken for the worship of God!!

So we find this week, in concluding this series of messages, that it is not enough to GO to church - we must BE the church. Otherwise we will not grow or mature in the faith and God will not be pleased!!

You can listen to this message or download it here: A Word of Promise. I recommend that you listen to all 3 in order to see the message as it unfolds throughout the prophecy of Haggai delivered to the people of God to encourage them in holiness, right worship, and humble service to God and each other.

I started a new sermon series this morning after finishing the 4 messages from Haggai and Ephesians that dealt with setting our vision for the new year. Now we are a month into that year. How will we implement this vision? How will we reach our goals?

The vision from Haggai is based on the command to Go, Bring, and Build. As we have applied it, we are the temple of the Holy Spirit, we are the Body of Christ, and we have been commanded and are expected to be building that Body up. We are to Go make disciples, Bring ourselves to the altar as a living sacrifice, and Build the church.

In fact we learned just last week that pastors have been given in order to equip the church for the work of the ministry (service) for the edification (building up) of the Body of Christ.

So now that we know what we are expected to do in building, what about the Go part of this mission? What does the Bible tell us that we are supposed to go do? Understanding these things shows us what God expects of us and has empowered us to accomplish for His glory.

We are told in the Scripture to go make disciples (Matt 28:19), to go invite people everywhere to come to Christ (Matt 22:9), to go preach the gospel of the Kingdom (Matt 10:7), and to go on to maturity in our spiritual lives (Heb 6:1). These are all active - GO and DO. Go make disciples, go invite, go preach, go on to maturity. And go labor in the field (John 4:35).

And it is in this going into the field of the world that we see the elements of the series we will examine in the coming weeks. This morning I introduced a series taken from an exposition through the Books of Jonah and Nahum. We started though in John 4:27-38, looking at why we are motivated to go. This series, titled Why Go? will take us through those thing that motivate us to obey the commands to GO that we find in the Scriptures.

We go because the harvest is coming (judgment and the end of the age - Matt 13:39; Rev 14:15-16). We go because the days are evil and we must redeem the time, as short as it may be! (Eph 5:15-16). We go because we are told that if we sow bountifully we will reap bountifully, but also that if we do not go and we sow sparingly then we will reap sparingly (2 Cor 9:6). And we go trusting while we do that God will give the increase (1 Cor 3:7).

Are you building up your church? Are you edifying the Body of Christ? Are you fulfilling these commands and going?

Why should we go into the fields? Listen here:

Go Labor in the Field

Phillip
