Message: “A Faith that Continues ” from Tom Leonard

A message from the series “Not Part of a Series.” Main Point:
Jesus presents us holy and blameless, as we continue in our faith, not moved from the hope of the Gospel.

Presents = bring before, recommend

1. We were once alienated from God because of our sinful thinking (noia=mind) and behavior, and were His enemies. (verse 21)
Alienated = Not together, estranged, shut out

Enemies = adversaries = (God was against us)

Exodus 32:30-35

2. He reconciled us, not only to be forgiven, but to become
righteous – holy, like Him!

reconciled = to fully bring back to former state of harmony

Romans 5:9-11

3. We must continue in our faith, unmoved from the gospel of
Jesus Christ!

Message: “Revival Praying” from Tom Leonard

A message from the series “Not Part of a Series.” Revival Praying
II Chronicles 7:13-15

Main point: If we want revival, then we must pray with revival prayer – which is God’s people, humble themselves, seek His Face, and turn from our wicked ways, then God will hear.

v.14 “If my people, who are called by My Name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face…”

1st Father God is calling to His people – those called by His Name (Yahweh Shua = Yashua = Jesus!)

Acts 4:12 preached about Jesus Christ – “Salvation is found in no one else, for there is no other Name under heaven given to men, by which we must be saved.” Do you know Jesus Christ?

2nd Father God is calling His people to humble themselves.

Daniel 2:21 “He determines the course of world events, He removes Kings and sets others in their place…”

James 4:6 “He gives us more grace that is why the scripture says: God opposes the proud but gives grace to the humble… 10 Humble yourselves before the Lord and he will lift you up.” Are you humbling yourself before our mighty God?

3rd Father God calls us, His people, to pray & seek His face (lit. ‘in front of, in the presence of) = to seek God Himself!

4th Father God calls us to turn from our wicked ways… The call of God to His people has not changed – II Tim. 2:19

If my people will do this “…then will I hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and will heal their land.” -God
