Biblical Solution For Today's Needs

Title: SOUL WINNER
Text: Acts 8:26-31
Date: 2/26/03
Place: Ilagan Baptist Church  (WPM)
Preacher: Pastor Jose B. Cabajar

   Soul winners are the least appreciated people
among the winners of today. They are the
unpopular winners the world cannot afford to give
applause.
   Every true Christian knows the value of soul
winner's presence in the midst of lost and dying
people. It's a sad thing but true that soul
winning is not much appealing any more to many
professing believers.
   Saved people of our time must show true
compassion to the lost. It's high time to be
"on Fire" spiritually and not be led by the
vanishing appeal of soul winning.
   The Biblical Qualification of a soul winner
as seen in Philip's life:

(I) Sensitivity To Divine Calling
    -willing to be led by divine direction
     vs26-29
     *obedient to God's calling
     *Spirit led

(II) Man Of Wisdom
     The grace of wisdom to:
     -approach the lost   vs30,31
     -explain the Scriptures  vs32-34
     -present Jesus as the only Savior
      of the world  v35
     -stir up others to have a clear identity
      (through baptism)  v36
     -check clear belief  vs37,38

(III) Consistent Spiritual Life
      -good testimony  Acts 6:3-5
      -vessel of Truth   Acts 8:39,40
       Acts 8:5
      -minister of God's Grace
       Acts 6:3    Acts 8:6,7   Acts 8:12,13

   Consecrate your life to the Lord and be a
soul winner for God's glory. 



Title: THE DEVIL'S SNARE
Text: II Timothy 2:22-26
Date: 2/23/03
Place: Ilagan Baptist Church  (SS)
Preacher: Pastor Jose B. Cabajar

   Sin is always associated with its author,
the devil. Sin is the transgression of the law
and all unrighteousness is sin.
   The Bible warns us to take heed, lest we
overlook the deceitfulness of sin and be trapped
into the snare of the devourer.

(I) The Lies Behind The Trap
    John 8:44-47    Genesis 3:1-4
    The Devil is the author of falsehood

(II) The Deceitful Offer
     Genesis 3:6    Matthew 4:8,9
     -be watchful of the things that attract
      your senses
     -don't be deceived by the devil's
      head-turning enticement
     -guard your eyes, thoughts and heart
      Jeremiah 17:9    I John 2:15-17

(III) The Pleasure Of Sin
      -for a season  Hebrews 11:25
      -sweet coated destruction
       Proverbs 7:17-27, 9:17,  20:17

(IV) The Consequences Of Sin
     -fear
     -shame   Genesis 3:10-11
     -corruption    Galatians 6:8
     -death    James 1:14.15  Romans 6:23
      Revelation 21:8

   We must be mindful of these things as we
submit ourselves to the Lord and put our trust
in Him.

   JESUS SAVES!

   Many great men in the past, with their
worldly wisdom, deceived a lot of people by
telling them that man came from ape. They
tried their best to instill falsehood into

Date: 2/16/03
Place: Ilagan Baptist Church  (GH)

   The believer's conversion marks the start of
his sanctification and then dramatically
progresses as he walks with the Lord. Growing in
holiness is God's plan for every believer. As he
journeys in the path of life, practicing the

abounding fruit of progressive sanctification.

the hearts of many believers to indifference.
If we are not on guard, worldliness will rob our
hearts and we will become victims of sensuality.
