"Parental Nagging"
Constant nagging didn't seem to provide any relief from having to clean up the bathroom after each of my three teenage children.
After I cleaned it one day, I resorted to posting a sign that read: "Please leave the bathroom as you found it."
I noticed the bathroom was in the usual mess after my son used it, so I called, "Brian, how did you find the bathroom?"
After a brief pause, he replied, "Straight down the hall, first door on the right."
THE CLOSING POINTS OF SUNDAY’S SERMON:
THIS DAY OF CELEBRATING THE EMPOWERMENT OF THE CHURCH IS A REMINDER TO US THAT
WE ARE TO :
A. BE WHERE WE ARE SUPPOSED TO BE AWAITING FOR THE PROMISES OF THE LORD….LOVING HIM
B. WE ARE TO BE TOGETHER IN SPIRIT AND IN LOVE WITH ONE ANOTHER
C. EXPECTING GOD’S PROMISE TO BE FULFILLED
D. TO BE WILLING TO WITNESS TO THOSE WHO ARE ANTAGONISTIC TOWARD THE MESSAGE OF THE GOSPEL
E. SHARE THE GOSPEL ( USE WORDS IF NECESSARY) AS THE SPIRIT MOVES UPON US.
PENTECOST..BOLDLY KNOW THE SPIRIT OF GOD IS UPON US TO SHARE CHRIST’S LOVE FOR AND TO ALL…
HONOR TO WHOM HONOR IS DUE:
WE WILL HONOR ALL THE MEN OF OUR CHURCHES SUNDAY..GUYS BE IN WORSHIP SUNDAY
MAY YOU AND I KNOW THE POWER THAT IS GIVEN TO US AND ALLOW GOD TO USE US THIS WEEK!!!
GOD BLESS YOU!!!
SEE YOU SUNDAY
