Leviticus 2:11-13 (NLT)Wednesday Night Service

March 11, 2015

“C’MON MAN A LITTLE SIN CAN’T HURT, GOD UNDERSTANDS WE

ARE NOT PERFECT YET!! “

“HEY YOU YEA YOU” IN THE CONGREGATION I WANT YOU TO

TAKE A LITTLE RIDE WITH ME AND JESUS TONIGHT!!

Leviticus 2:11-13 (NLT)11 “Do not use yeast in any of the grain

offerings you present to the Lord, because no yeast or honey may be burned as an offering to the Lord by

fire. 12 You may add yeast and honey to the offerings presented at

harvesttime, but these must never be burned on the altar as an offering

pleasing to the Lord.

13 Season all your grain offerings with salt, to remind you of God’s covenant. Never forget to add salt to your grain

offerings.

Matthew 13:33 (NLT)33 Jesus also used this illustration: “The Kingdom of Heaven is like yeast

used by a woman making bread. Even though she used a large

amount* of flour, the yeast permeated every part of the dough.”

1 Corinthians 5:6-8 (KJV)6 Your glorying is not good. Know ye not that a little leaven leaveneth the

whole lump? 7 Purge out therefore the old leaven, that ye may be a new lump, as ye are unleavened. For even Christ

our passover is sacrificed for us: 8 therefore let us keep the feast, not

with old leaven, neither with the leaven of malice and wickedness; but with the unleavened bread of sincerity and truth.

Philippians 3:12-15 (NLT)12 I don’t mean to say that I have

already achieved these things or that I have already reached perfection! But I keep working toward that day when I

will finally be all that Christ Jesus saved me for and wants me to be. 13 No,

dear brothers and sisters, I am still not all I should be,* but I am

focusing all my energies on this

one thing: Forgetting the past and looking forward to what lies ahead, 14 I strain to reach the end of the race and

receive the prize for which God, through Christ Jesus, is calling us up to heaven.* 15 I hope all of you who are mature Christians will agree on these

things. If you disagree on some point, I believe God will make it plain to you. 16 But we must be sure to obey the

truth we have learned already.

MAN I CAN’T GET THINGS RIGHT EVERY TIME I THINK I’M DOING

GOOD I END UP FALLING ON MY FACE AGAIN. “I KNOW I NEED

HELP”!!

Genesis 18:32 (NLT)32 Finally, Abraham said, “Lord, please do not get angry; I will speak but once

more! Suppose only ten are found there?” And the Lord said, “Then, for

the sake of the ten, I will not destroy it.”

Hebrews 12:24 (NLT)24 You have come to Jesus, the one

who mediates the new covenant between God and people, and to the

sprinkled blood, which graciously forgives instead of crying out for

vengeance as the blood of Abel did.

Judges 7:2-3 (NLT)2 The Lord said to Gideon, “You have

too many warriors with you. If I let all of you fight the Midianites, the Israelites

will boast to me that they saved themselves by their own strength. 3

Therefore, tell the people, ‘Whoever is timid or afraid may leave* and go

home.’” Twenty-two thousand of them went home, leaving only ten thousand

who were willing to fight.

2 Chronicles 20-17 (NLT) 17 But you will not even need to fight.

Take your positions; then stand still and watch the Lord’s victory. He is with you, O people of Judah and Jerusalem. Do not be afraid or discouraged. Go out there tomorrow, for the Lord is with

you!”

MAN I WILL WAIT UNTIL GOD HAS GIVEN ME SOME TYPE OF MAJOR SIGN FROM HEAVEN BEFORE I

BECOME A WITNESS !!

Matthew 10:1-8 (NLT)1 Jesus called his twelve disciples to

him and gave them authority to cast out evil spirits and to heal every kind of disease and illness. 2 Here are the names of the twelve apostles: first

Simon (also called Peter), then Andrew (Peter’s brother), James (son of

Zebedee), John (James’s brother), 3 Philip, Bartholomew, Thomas,

Matthew (the tax collector), James (son of Alphaeus), Thaddaeus, 4 Simon (the

Zealot* ), Judas Iscariot (who later betrayed him). 5 Jesus sent the twelve

disciples out with these instructions: “Don’t go to the Gentiles or the

Samaritans, 6 but only to the people of Israel—God’s lost sheep. 7 Go and

announce to them that the Kingdom of Heaven is near.*

8 Heal the sick, raise the dead, cure those with leprosy, and cast out

demons. Give as freely as you have received!

Isaiah 6:8-10 (KJV)8 Also I heard the voice of the Lord, saying, Whom shall I send, and who will go for us? Then said I, Here am I; send me. 9 And he said, Go, and tell

this people, Hear ye indeed, but understand not; and see ye indeed, but perceive not. 10 Make the heart of this people fat, and make their

ears heavy, and shut their eyes;

lest they see with their eyes, and hear with their ears, and understand with

their heart, and convert, and be healed.

MAN I DON’T FEEL RIGHT BECAUSE I DON’T EVEN HAVE THAT MUCH

MONEY TO PUT IN THE OFFERING PLATE OR BLESS THE CHURCH WITH TITHES AND OFFERINGS

BECAUSE I’M STRAPPED TO THESE CREDIT CARDS ETC!!

Luke 21:1 (NLT)1 While Jesus was in the Temple, he watched the rich people putting their gifts into the collection box. 2 Then a poor widow came by and dropped in

two pennies.* 3 “I assure you,” he said, “this poor widow has given more than all the rest of them. 4 For they have given a tiny part of their surplus, but

she, poor as she is, has given everything she has.”

MAN I WISH I HAD THE SAME FAITH AS THE APOSTLES I WOULD DO MIGHTY THINGS FOR GOD JUST

LIKE PAUL, PETER AND THE REST OF THE DISCIPLES!!

Matthew 9:19-22 (KJV)19 And Jesus arose, and followed him,

and so did his disciples. 20 And, behold, a woman, which was diseased

with an issue of blood twelve years, came behind him, and touched the hem

of his garment: 21 for she said within herself, If I may but touch his garment, I

shall be whole. 22 But Jesus turned him about, and when he saw her,

he said, Daughter, be of good comfort; thy faith hath made thee whole. And the

woman was made whole from that hour.

Matthew 17:20 (NLT)20 “You didn’t have enough faith,”

Jesus told them. “I assure you, even if you had faith as small as a mustard seed you could say to this mountain,

‘Move from here to there,’ and it would move. Nothing would be impossible.”*

IS THIS YOU OR IS THIS SOMEONE YOU KNOW?

1. “MAN I JUST CAN’T DO IT.”2. MAN GOD HAS TO LITERALLY

SLAP ME UP SIDE MY HEAD IN ORDER FOR ME TO BELIEVE HE WANTS ME TO DO SOMETHING”

3. I BELIEVE GOD IS ASKING ME TO DO WAY TOO MUCH BEYOND MY SKILLS”

Exodus 4:10-16 (NLT)10 But Moses pleaded with the Lord, “O

Lord, I’m just not a good speaker. I never have been, and I’m not now,

even after you have spoken to me. I’m clumsy with words.”

11 “Who makes mouths?” the Lord asked him. “Who makes people so they

can speak or not speak, hear or not hear, see or not see? Is it not I, the

Lord? 12 Now go, and do as I have told you. I will help you speak well, and I will

tell you what to say.” 12 Now go, and do as I have told you. I will help you speak well, and I will tell you what to say.” 13 But Moses again pleaded, “Lord, please! Send someone else.”

14 Then the Lord became angry with Moses. “All right,” he said. “What about your brother, Aaron the Levite? He is a good speaker. And look! He is on his way to meet you now. And when he

sees you, he will be very glad. 15 You will talk to him, giving him the words to

say. I will help both of you to speak clearly, and I will tell you what to do.

16 Aaron will be your spokesman to the people, and you will be as God to him, telling him what to say. 17 And be sure to take your shepherd’s staff along so

you can perform the miraculous signs I have shown you.”

NOW THAT YOU TRAVELLED IN TIME WITH CHRIST DID YOU LEARN

ANYTHING ABOUT HIM AND YOURSELF? DID YOU ENJOY YOUR

RIDE WITH HIM?

JESUS WANTS YOU TO KNOW THIS LAST THING ABOUT HIM BEFORE HE

LEAVES YOUR VEHICLE.

Romans 8:31-38 (NKJ)31 What shall we then say to these

things? If God be for us, who can be against us? 32 He that spared not his own Son, but delivered him up for us

all, how shall he not with him also freely give us all things? 33 Who shall lay any thing to the charge of God’s elect? It is God that justifieth. 34  Who is he that

condemneth? It is Christ that died, yea rather, that is risen

again, who is even at the right hand of God, who also maketh intercession for us. 35  Who shall separate us from the

love of Christ? shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword? 36 As it is written, For thy sake we are killed all

the day long; we are accounted as sheep for the slaughter. 37 Nay, in all

these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us.

38 For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor

principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, 39 nor

height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us

from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord
