Note: This is from a sermon I heard at the Greater Reno church of Christ on July 19, 2009:
Hebrews 10:19-31
-We must continue to spur one another on.
vv.23-25
-In order to draw near to God, we must "clean out our stalls"(using the analogy of a horse stable). In other words, we must open up about our sins and repent.
Hebrews 1:3-6
-Do We have a worldly view of Jesus? Do we view Him as a "Mister Rogers" type or someone who He expects to hold to His teachings (John 8:31-32)
Hebrews 4:15-26
-Jesus was tempted in every way during His earthly ministry, so we aren't immune to sin either.
-What sins are holding you powerless?
Ephesians 2:10
-We were created to be spurned for good works.
-God has to break us (allow the Spirit to control us) in order for Him to lead us (using the analogy of horse training).
Hebrews 10:26-31
-Realize the consequences of deliberate and unrepentant sin.
-We all must seek help and allow God to work through us.
Comment: I would like top thank the Greater Reno Church for putting together a worthwhile and thought provoking service. In the meantime, if I do not get open, sin will mount up and it will cause me to lose my faith.

You Can't; God can; We Will!
Note: This is a sermon delivered by Don Splitt on July 5, 2009. Don is a potential canidate for a ministry position in the Sacramento Church.
Judges 6:1-6
-Do you tend to drift away from God upon Him giving you a great victory?
-When you ask for God's help, do you cry out to Him?
vv.7-21
-Do you really believe that Go is with you regardless of dire circumstances?
-Do you realize circumstances worsen when you are not close to God?
-Do you use your weaknessws as an excuse to not do God's will or will you allow Him to work with the strength you have?
Bottom Line: Quit waiting for the right circumstances to be great!
Judges 7:1ff
-God gives us challenges to show us that He is the reeason for our victory.
Luke 24:49
-Remember the power of the Holy Spirit in you life.
John 12:23-26
Will you continue to give up your life to produce friut?
I Corinthians 3:5-9
Remember, we are fellow workers with God; everyone must do our part in spreading the Gospel.
Comment: I would like to thank Don and Jennifer Splitt for spending Independence Day Weekend with the Sacramento Church and especially the Campus and Singles Ministries. This lesson is a reminder that we must remain close to God in order to grow and draw people to Him. If it is His will for the Splitts to join our staff, pray that God can use them powerfully to help bring hope in the Sacramento Region through Christ Jesus.
