What is Lent?

The purpose of Lent is to cleanse and discipline both mind and body toward the end of making them more receptive to Christ ideas. When we fast from negativity and focus on a God idea, we open the way for more of that God idea to express in our lives.

Sermon Series: Fall Freestyle

Sermon Title: The Secret Place

Key Message:

You have built a fortress of fear around your desires. It’s time to tear it down.

Scripture: Numbers 13:27-28, 30-33

And they reported to him and said, “We came to the land to which you sent us; it flows with milk and honey, and this is its fruit. Yet the people who live in the land are strong, and the towns are fortified and very large, and besides, we saw the descendants of Anak there.

But Caleb quieted the people before Moses and said, “Let us go up at once and occupy it, for we are well able to overcome it.”

Then the men who had gone up with him said, “We are not able to go up against this people, for they are stronger than we.” So they brought to the Israelites an unfavorable report of the land that they had spied out, saying, “The land that we have gone through as spies is a land that devours its inhabitants, and all the people that we saw in it are of great size. There we saw the Nephilim (the Anakites come from the Nephilim), and to ourselves we seemed like grasshoppers, and so we seemed to them.”

Spiritual Mind Treatment: Psalm 91

You who live in the shelter of the Most High,
who abide in the shadow of the Almighty,[a]
will say to the Lord, “My refuge and my fortress;
my God, in whom I trust.”

For he will deliver you from the snare of the hunter
and from the deadly pestilence;
he will cover you with his pinions,
and under his wings you will find refuge;
his faithfulness is a shield and defense.

You will not fear the terror of the night
or the arrow that flies by day
or the pestilence that stalks in darkness
or the destruction that wastes at noonday.

A thousand may fall at your side,
ten thousand at your right hand,
but it will not come near you.
You will only look with your eyes
and see the punishment of the wicked.

Because you have made the Lord your refuge,[b]
the Most High your dwelling place,
no evil shall befall you,
no scourge come near your tent.

For he will command his angels concerning you
to guard you in all your ways.
On their hands they will bear you up,
so that you will not dash your foot against a stone.
You will tread on the lion and the adder;
the young lion and the serpent you will trample under foot.

Those who love me, I will deliver;
I will protect those who know my name.
When they call to me, I will answer them;
I will be with them in trouble;
I will rescue them and honor them.
With long life I will satisfy them
and show them my salvation.

Sermon Series: Healing Secrets of the Ages

Sermon Title: What You See Is What You Get

Message delivered by Rev. Sheree Thompson

Scripture: Matthew 6:22-23

“The light of the body is the eye: if therefore thine eye be single, thy whole body shall be full of light. But if thine eye be evil, thy whole body shall be full of darkness.”

Key Idea

You must train your imagination to see what you desire to experience.

Point #1

What is Imagination?
The faculty of mind that images and forms;
The power to shape and form thought.
 Through this faculty the formless takes form.
The imaging faculty presides at the nerve center between

Point #2

“In picturing health in the body, you are not trying to put something into the body that is not already there. You are not trying to force the body into a mold of your own making. Instead, you are claiming and releasing the potential perfection, the ‘imprisoned splendor’.” (Pg. 136)

Point #3

“The power of the imagination must express in one way or another, but it is always at work, constructively or destructively.” (Pg 155)

Your Soul Work – Create a Wheel of Fortune

1 Draw or trace a large circle on a sheet of paper or poster board. Draw or trace a small circle in the middle. Then divide the circle into four parts using straight lines.  Your picture should look like a wheel with spokes.
2 Decide on four areas to focus. You can choose from business, family, spiritual, social, relationships, finances, health, or any focus you desire.
3 In the center, add an image that represents God to you or write your spiritual name like, I am love, or I am power.
4 Find one or two pictures that show the results of what you desire to achieve in those areas of your life.
5 Write an affirmation at the bottom, like, I gratefully receive my good now. Or, This or something better, thy will be done.
6 Look at the wheel every day for 30 days. Be sure to look at it lovingly and calmly.

Sermon Title: My Gut Feeling

Scripture: Luke 6:37-38

“Do not judge, and you will not be judged; do not condemn, and you will not be condemned. Forgive, and you will be forgiven; give, and it will be given to you.A good measure, pressed down, shaken together, running over, will be put into your lap, for the measure you give will be the measure you get back.”

Key Definitions

What is healing?

“Restoring to original purity or integrity” (Webster).

All healing is based on mental cleansing. When the mind is free from error thoughts, harmony in the body ensues. Permanent healing is never accomplished until the mental cause of the disease, the error thought, is removed. (Revealing Word)

What is wisdom?

Spiritual intuition; The voice of God within as the source of our understanding; Mental action based on the Christ Truth within.Wisdom includes judgment, discrimination, intuition, and all the departments of mind that come under the head of knowing.

What is judgment?

Mental act of evaluation through comparison or contrast.

Spiritual discernment. Judgment is a faculty of the mind that can be exercised in two ways–from sense perception or spiritual understanding.

Misuse of Judgment – Condemnation

The words “condemn” and “damn” come from the same root word, meaning “damage.” Strong condemning judgments damage the health of the one doing the fault-finding. No organ is more quickly affected by your moods than your stomach. (pg 79, 80 The Healing Secrets of the Ages)

Sermon Title: Have Faith in Me

Sermon Thesis: You have all the faith you need to accomplish whatever lies before you.

Scripture: Mark 11:23-24 NKJV

For assuredly, I say to you, whoever says to this mountain, ‘Be removed and be cast into the sea,’ and does not doubt in his heart, but believes that those things he says will be done, he will have whatever he says.

Therefore I say to you, whatever things you ask when you pray, believe that you receive them, and you will have them.

Poem

God is my help in every need,
God does my every hunger feed. 
God walks beside me, guides my way,
Through every moment of the day. 

I now am wise, I now am true.
Patient, kind, and loving too.
All things I am, can do, and be,
Through Christ, the Truth that is in me.

God is my health, I can’t be sick.
God is my strength, unfailing, quick.
God is my all, I know no fear.
Since God and Love and Truth are here.

POINT #1:

Faith always works.

POINT #2:

Your words control your faith.

POINT #3:

Sermon Title: After Amen

Scripture: James 2:14-18, 26

What good is it, my brothers and sisters, if someone claims to have faith but does not have works? Surely that faith cannot save, can it? If a brother or sister is naked and lacks daily food and one of you says to them, “Go in peace; keep warm and eat your fill,” and yet you do not supply their bodily needs, what is the good of that? So faith by itself, if it has no works, is dead.

But someone will say, “You have faith, and I have works.” Show me your faith apart from works, and I by my works will show you faith.

For just as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without works is also dead.

Sermon points:

Amen is a peculiar force of consciousness.

In God there is an eternal yes, but your part is to get into a Yes consciousness, and stay there. Change your mind and keep it changed.

Practice the Presence of God through prayer, meditation, sitting in the silence, spiritual study, affirmations and denials, sacred movement, basking in nature, visualization and more!

How to Break the Resistance Barrier – 2nd Wind:

1. Train Your Mind – Daily Spiritual Practice

2. Hold the Vision

3. Manage the Facts

4. Trust God

After prayer, give. When things get tight, something’s got to give!
