Series: “Bible Basics from A to Z”

Title: “Keep It Moving” - Kingdom

This week’s sermon was preached out of the book of Matthew 7:15-23.  We learned that in order to keep the Kingdom moving you must…

• produce exemplary fruit
• prophesy eternal life
• push evil out and proclaim extraordinary happenings

Focal Thought of the Sermon:

In order to keep the kingdom moving we must produce exemplary fruit.  God did this by slashing and burning.  We can do it by watering and fertilizing with the word of God and we also need the Son to have life and have it more abundantly.  Secondly, we must prophesy eternal life.  We must be willing to help people and if we prophesy that God will do something in someone’s life we must be willing to help, because God may choose to use us to help that person.   Finally, we must push evil out and proclaim extra ordinary happenings by this we must not give in to the devil as he tries to push out the good in us.  He comes to steal, kill and destroy and we must stop at nothing to push the devil out of our lives.  We must learn to prophesy over our own lives.

It’s up to us to Keep it Moving.
