Change that Lasts

Nehemiah 9

Dr. Roger Ferguson, Sr. Pastor August 10, 2008

THEME: Psychologists tell us it takes a minimum of six weeks
doing something different. Therefore most of us never
change, even when we know the change brings
improvement. God will move you to healthy change and
give you the strength to do it. To not change is sin.
In Nehemiah God rebuilt the people as the people
repaired the walls. Ask God to help you change in
the ways that honor Him and help us.

For change to last understand that……….

1. Your past may explain you but it doesn’t excuse you. (Nehemiah 9:1-2)
2. You must nourish your soul with Bible Study and prayer. (Nehemiah 9: 3)
3. Do what honors God and trust the consequences to Him. (Nehemiah 9:5-38)

Think it over:
Put action to the Bible message by thinking through the following:

1. How has God used both the painful and the helpful things from the past to shape you into His image?

2. Write one benefit of prayer and Bible study to you.

________________________________________________

3. In what area is God telling you to do what is right and trust the consequences to Him?

4. Have you asked Christ to save you? Are you following Him in believer’s baptism?

Diverting Distractions

podcast@fbcowasso.org (Dr. Roger Ferguson) — Sun, 20 Jul 2008 22:59:29 -0500

July 20 2008
Nehemiah 6:1-14
Dr. Roger Ferguson, Sr. Pastor

THEME: Satan appears as your best friend and disguises himself as an “angel of light” (2 Corinthians 11:14) who will do you a favor. His horrific destruction follows if you are deceived. On the other hand God promises His presence and provision to those who honor Him. Will you be distracted or a “fully devoted follower of Christ”?

I. Satan’s ________________ of distractions:

1. Ungodly compromise which promises you’ll benefit. (Nehemiah 6:1-4)

“So, if you think you are standing firm, be careful that you don’t fall!” I Corinthians 10:12

2. Criticism slanted to discourage. (Nehemiah 6:5-9)

3. Induced fear that God will fail you if you follow Him. (Nehemiah 6:10-14)

II. Destroy Satan’s arsenal with full devotion to Christ:

1. Keep doing what honors God. (Nehemiah 6:5)

2. Ignore critics and stay on task.
(Nehemiah 6:8-9)

3. Replace fear with faithful action and watch God show up! (Nehemiah 6:15)

Live in the light of God’s love!
II Corinthians 10:5 tells us to take every thought captive to the obedience of Christ. With that in mind what will you do with what you have heard today?
1. Which of Satan’s arsenals are you most vulnerable to?
2. What will you do differently starting today?
3. Today, why don’t you ask Christ to forgive your sin and lead your life?

The Strength of Humility?

podcast@fbcowasso.org (Dr. Roger Ferguson) — Sun, 13 Jul 2008 22:28:52 -0500

July 13, 2008
Nehemiah 5:14-19
Dr. Roger Ferguson, Sr. Pastor

THEME: There are two types of people in every age. One is the shallow, razzle-dazzle, “all about me” type. The other type of person does everything with excellence and for the glory of God. The first type flourishes then fizzles. The second type honors God, helps others and is contagious to follow. The second changes families, businesses and culture for God’s glory. What are you believing God for today? How do your actions demonstrate faith in Him?

I. The strength of humility is shown by doing more than is expected. (Nehemiah 5:14-18)

Time + Consistency = Influence

II. The strength of humility grows from a genuine fear of God. (Nehemiah 5:15b, 19)

“The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom; all who follow His precepts have good understanding. To Him belongs eternal praise.”
Psalm 111:10

“The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge, but fools despise wisdom and discipline.”
Proverbs 1:7

Act in God’s Truth:

1. What did you learn today to help live in the strength of humility?
2. What will you do differently this week to practice what you’ve learned?
3. Have you trusted Christ as your Savior and followed Him in baptism?

Nehemiah 2:9-20
Dr. Roger Ferguson, Sr. Pastor

THEME: God called Nehemiah to a great work of restoring vision and hope to God’s people. The result was the walls of Jerusalem were rebuilt. Where is God calling you to rebuild hope? Today we’ll learn how to handle critics and restore hope.

I. Allow God to do work in you before He does a work through you. (Nehemiah 2:11)

“But Noah found favor in the eyes of the Lord.” Genesis 6:8 (NIV)

II. Do a thorough inspection before you give direction. (Nehemiah 2:12-16)

1. Expose critics and learn from them. (Nehemiah 2:10,19-20)

III. Lay out the plan and involve the people to build for the glory of God. (Nehemiah 2:17-20)

1. Identify with the need as you describe asolution to the problem. (Nehemiah 2:17,18)

2. Keep the focus on God and get to work.

Make it practical:
1. Have you signed up for the Leadership Summit? 189 people have. Do it today and help yourself to fulfill His purpose through you.
2. What one thing do you need to work on from today’s message?
3. Have you asked Christ to save you and are you following Him?

Praying and Planning

May 18, 2008
Nehemiah 2:1-8
Dr. Roger Ferguson, Sr. Pastor

THEME: Leadership is influence. God changes the world through people who are fully devoted to Him. In business, family and church God is rebuilding society through people who have vision from God. Are you one of them?

I. The power of a rebuilder is prayer.
(Nehemiah 1:11; 2:5)

1. A rebuilder knows God changes
hearts. (Nehemiah 1:11)

“The king’s heart is in the hand of the Lord; He directs it like a watercourse wherever He pleases.” Proverbs 21:1

2. Rebuilders pray for an opportunity
rather than a miracle. (Nehemiah 2:1-5)

II. The plan of a Rebuilder:
(Nehemiah 2:6-8)

1. Rebuilders are faithful in the present,
prepare for the future and they don’t
stay stuck in the past.

“For the eyes of the Lord range throughout the earth to strengthen those whose hearts are fully committed to Him.” II Chronicles 16:9a

2. God’s favor rests upon a fully devoted heart. (Nehemiah 2:5,8)

Make it practical:
God will use you to rebuild and make a difference and you will be available to Him. Consider the following:
1. What opportunity are you praying for today? God puts it in your heart before He shows the way it will be done.
2. Go to www.fbcowasso.org and register for the Summit before May 20th to get the best rates.
3. Have you trusted Christ to forgive your sin and lead your life?

Proverbs 6:6-8
Dr. Roger Ferguson, Sr. Pastor

THEME: Following God’s way works! Salvation is free. As disciples of Christ we discipline ourselves and do what the Bible says.

I. What will we save for?

1. Emergencies
2. Purchases.
3. Future

Key point: Define what you need, want and desire.
Proverbs 21:20

God’s Perfect Promise

podcast@fbcowasso.org (Dr. Roger Ferguson) — Sun, 30 Mar 2008 22:36:57 -0500

Romans 8:28
March 30, 2008
Dr. Roger Ferguson, Sr. Pastor

THEME: On top of Pike’s Peak in Colorado you can see five states. The vantage point makes all the difference. Romans 8:28 is the “Pike’s Peak” of Romans 8. From Romans 8:28 we will see God’s panoramic plan and our part in it. Do you know Jesus as the Forgiver of your sin and the Guide of your life? Follow Jesus and He will guide you safely through.

I. God’s promise is though we are limited God has full control.

II. God’s promise is though we see one event at a time God has an eternal plan.

1. God uses delightful times = “good”

2. God uses desperate times = “good”

desperation over which we had no control: Joseph

“As for you, you meant evil against me, but God meant it for good in order to bring about this present result, to preserve many people alive.” Genesis 50: 20 (NASB)

desperation over our sinful choices: David

“It is good for me that I was afflicted, that I might learn your statutes.”
Psalm 119:71 (ESV)

III. God’s promise is that He is compassionate in all things.

1. Not all is good, but God uses many ingredients in His divine recipe .

“Now I want you to know, brothers, that what has happened to me has really served to advance the Gospel.” Philippians 1:12 (NIV)

IV. God’s promise swings on two hinges .

1. Do you have a passionate love for Christ demonstrated by obedience ?

“Greater love has no one than this, that He lay down His life for His friends.”
John 15:13 (NIV)

2. Do you demonstrate a deep desire to be like Jesus?
Romans 8: 29

Make it practical
Before you leave worship today decide to act on the following:
1. Ask Christ to be the Leader of your life and publicly let others know.
2. Thank God for His care and ask Him how you can be more like Him.

The Good News of Easter

podcast@fbcowasso.org (Dr. Roger Ferguson) — Sun, 23 Mar 2008 16:13:09 -0500

Mark 16:1-7
Dr. Roger Ferguson, Sr. Pastor
March 23, 2008

THEME: Easter is a word everyone knows—few understand Easter is the time when God intervened and did what only HE could do. All of us were far from God and in serious trouble because of our sin. Spiritual and physical death is the inevitable result. The God-man Jesus entered time and space and showed us how to live and then He died on a cross as our substitute.

The good news is Jesus rose from the grave and conquered death and hell. He is risen! He is risen indeed! Because of Jesus this life has purpose and those who trust and follow Christ here will be with Him in Heaven forever. Who is Jesus to you? Today give your life to Jesus and watch Him do His supernatural work through you.

I. When you come to Jesus, you find the barriers removed . (Mark 16:1-3)
II. The Resurrection of Jesus is startling . (Mark 16:4-5)
III. The Resurrection means Jesus goes before us if we realize we’ve blown it and need Him. (Mark 16:7)

What will you do with Jesus?

If you had been the only person that ever lived, Jesus would have come and died and rose again to give you eternal life starting here on earth and continuing forever in Heaven. As a result what will you do with Jesus today:

1. Ask Christ to forgive your sin and save you today! Show you are serious by getting baptized and growing with other Christians through His church.

2. If you know Christ in a life-changing way, thank Him for giving His life on the cross for you. Ask Him to help you live for Him now.

Peacemakers: Are You One?

podcast@fbcowasso.org (Dr. Roger Ferguson) — Sun, 09 Mar 2008 22:47:48 -0500

Matthew 5:9
March 9, 2008
Dr. Roger Ferguson, Sr. Pastor

Realize I’m not God.
Earnestly believe God exists.
Fully yield myself and my will to Christ’s control
Receive God’s righteousness as a gift of grace.
Extend forgiveness to those who have hurt me.
Seek purity, don’t pretend.
Help people find peace with God and others.

I. The motive of a Peacemaker is Christ exalting lives.

1. Never compromise truth.

“Love and faithfulness meet together, righteousness and peace kiss each other.”
Psalm 85:10

2. Deal with issues quickly and redemptively.

“I plead with Euodia and I plead with Syntyche to agree with each other in the Lord.”
Philippians 4:2

3. Three-fold test of a peacemaker: Is it true? Is it necessary? Can the person I am telling do something constructive or do my words distract from the Gospel?

“Without wood a fire goes out; without gossip a quarrel dies down.
Proverbs 26:20

II. An example of peacemaking. (Acts 6:1-7)

“And all of this is a gift from God, who brought us back to Himself through Christ. And God has given us this task of reconciling people to Him.”
2 Corinthians 5:18

Are you a Peacemaker?
1. Jesus did all that was necessary to bring us to God. He died on a cross! Are you living the kind of life that points others to Jesus?
2. If you have a problem with anyone, what can today’s Bible lesson do to help you be a peacemaker?

Psalm 23:6
August 19, 2007
Dr Roger Ferguson, Sr. Pastor

Theme: At the end of the day the shepherd led the sheep to shelter where they’d be secure. When our time on earth is done, the Great Shepherd leads us to Heaven, a place He’s prepared for us. Do you know and follow the Shepherd today?

II. Heaven is a prepared place for a prepared people. Psalm 23:6

1. Heaven is perfect and permanent.
“He will wipe every tear from their eyes. There will be no more death or mourning or crying or pain, for the old order of things has passed away.” Revelation 21:4

Be Brave and Love People Today

July 29, 2007
The Book of Jonah
Mike Napier, Minister of Outreach & Singles

We are looking at the book of Jonah today—yes, the entire book. We must examine the entire book to understand the entire premise of the book which is God’s love for people. Jonah is an excellent Biblical example of how God does His perfect work with an imperfect instrument/tool. The book of Jonah records one of the greatest missionary/evangelism success stories in history.

A thesis statement for today’s message:
We were created and saved to be the love of God NOT just to demonstrate His love, but to be the love of God. Evangelism is all about LOVE.

God loved the Ninevites and wanted to save them.
Jonah 1:1-2

If God wanted to kill the Ninevites, He could have done it. It is out of His love that God said “I want you to repent.” Who does God love in your life. The answer is everyone .

Evangelism is not tackle football.
God loves people. He wants to reach them through willing people like you and me. According to Sperling’s www.bestplaces.net there are approximately 454,220 people living in the Tulsa, Collinsville, Skiatook, Owasso and Claremore areas. God loves each and every person. It is our responsibility to be the Love of God to them.

God loved Jonah and wanted to use him.

We discover here that Jonah has a problem. (Jonah 1:3a) God loved Jonah enough to correct his disobedience. Circle which Heart best represents you. What percentage of God’s love do you allow God to flow through you? What percentage can God use of you right where you are today?

10% heart
40% heart
60% heart
80% heart

God is saying to you and to me: Love people! Reach out to them. Be my love before them.

Making Needed Changes (The Journey)

podcast@fbcowasso.org (Dr. Roger Ferguson) — Sun, 17 Feb 2008 17:44:19 -0600

Matthew 5:6
February 17, 2008
Dr. Roger Ferguson, Sr. Pastor

Realize that I’m not God. “I am totally helpless!”
Earnestly believe God exists and He will help me. “I believe God can help me!”
Fully yield myself and my will to Christ’s control. “God is my coach!”
Receive God’s righteousness as a gift of grace. “I’ll cooperate with God’s change process!”

Memory Verse:
Repent then and turn to God, so that your sins may be wiped out, that times of refreshing may come from the Lord.”
Acts 3:19

I. To be filled with God’s righteousness I must
grasp the distinction between:

1. Self-righteous and God’s righteousness.

“We have all become like one who is unclean, and all our righteous deeds are like a polluted garment..”
Isaiah 64:6 ESV

2. If you’re saved, you’ll want to cooperate with God.

“Little children, let no one deceive you. Whoever practices righteousness is righteous, as He is righteous. Whoever makes a practice of sinning is of the devil, for the devil has been sinning from the beginning. The reason the Son of God appeared was to destroy the works of the devil. No one born of God makes a practice of sinning, for God’s seed abides in him, and he cannot keep on sinning because he has been born of God.”

I John 3: 7-9 ESV

II. To cooperate with God’s change process I must focus on:

1. Changing one defect at a time.
2. Victory one day at a time.
3. Doing God, not feeling good.
4. People who help me, not hinder me.
5. Progress not perfection.

MAKE IT PRACTICAL

1. Have you honestly been saved by God’s transforming grace?
2. If you’ve been saved, where is God working in you right now:
Attitude? Time management? Finances? Relationships?
Truth telling? Integrity? What is He changing in you today?
3. Are you hanging around people who build up or tear down your walk with God?
4. Thank God He’s not finished with you yet!

Letting Go

podcast@fbcowasso.org (Dr. Roger Ferguson) — Sun, 10 Feb 2008 15:23:49 -0600

Matthew 5:5
February 10, 2008
Dr. Roger Ferguson, Sr. Pastor

THEME: If someone told you a guaranteed way to experience life to the fullest, would you be interested? In Matthew 5:1-12 there are principles that show how anyone can experience life the way that can only be explained as the grace of God. The “Jesus life” is the best way now and forever!

Realize that I’m not God. “I’m helpless on my own!”
Earnestly understand God exists and He cares. “I believe God can help me!”
Fully yield myself and my will to Christ’s control.
“God is my coach!”

Memory Verse: Repent then and turn to God, so that your sins may be wiped out, that times of refreshing may come from the Lord.” Acts 3:19

I. Meekness (gentleness) is strength under control. .

II. Blockages to experiencing a life of God’s blessing:

1. P ride
“The wise of heart will receive commands, But a babbling fool will be ruined.” Proverbs 10: 8

G uilt
“Therefore, there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus.” Romans 8:1

3. F ear
“There is no fear in love because perfect love casts out fear.” I John 4:18

4. W orry
“But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well.” Matthew 6:33

III. Putting Christ in control makes me a Christ- follower.

1. A decision: yield my life to Christ’s control.

“Therefore, I urge you, brothers, in view of God’s mercy, to offer your bodies as living sacrifices, holy and pleasing to God—this is your spiritual act of worship.
Romans 12:1

2. A process: surrender my will to Christ’s control.

“Therefore, my dear friends, as you have always obeyed—not only in my presence, but now much more in my absence—continue to work out your salvation with fear and trembling, for it is God who works in you to will and to act according to His good purpose.”
Philippians 2:12-13

Today will you…
1. Ask Christ to forgive your sin and lead your life?
2. Follow Jesus in believer’s baptism as God commands?
3. Live in His strength to change you rather than pride, guilt, fear or worry.
4. Rejoice that the same grace of God that saved you can sustain you through anything!

There are over 1000 prophecies in the Bible. 500 of them are already fulfilled
Prophesy is history written in advance.
We are standing on the threshold of the soon coming King.
In reality there are only two certainties at the end of life; either death or meeting God face to face. Are you ready?
The Bible indicates there are two comings of Christ in the End Times:
1. To rescue his bride - the church
2. Again, with the saints to establish His reign of peace.
Three Significant Questions:
1. Is it possible to think you are saved and still be lost?
Jesus said Yes! - Matthew 7:22-23
Can you be sure you are saved? - YES!!!! I John 5: 3 How???
a. Do you have a desire to be more like Christ?
b. Do you have a hunger for His word?
c. Do you have a non-stop prayer life?
Every person in the Bible who met Jesus was a changed person. Does your life exhibit change? “If you are what you were, then you ain’t (saved).”
Satan’s counterfeit for God’s free gift of salvation is religion.
2. Will people be saved after the Rapture of the church? - Yes!
Rev. 7:4 The 144,000 of Israel
Rev. 7:9 A multitude saved

3. Who will be saved after the Rapture?
John 6:44 None can come to Christ unless he is drawn.
2 Peter 3:9 God does not want any one to perish. He desires for ALL to be saved. He draws everyone!
God calls people in a million ways. However, not all whom he calls answer.
He reveals himself through
1. Nature - Romans 1
2. The conscious mind - Romans 2
3. The person of Jesus Christ - Romans 3
...ALL Men are without excuse.
2 Thessalonians 11:1-2
The people who will be saved during the tribulation will probably NOT be current unsaved church members, who have believed Satan’s lie. Most of these will have already said no to God for the last time (Matt 2:31-32). It is likely that this group of unbelievers will not receive a second chance.
Most likely, those saved after the rapture will be those who have never before heard the gospel of Christ.
Therefore ---- TODAY is the Day of Salvation!!!
