Sunday morning is a time for challenge; to challenge the unsaved to trust Christ and to challenge the Christian in some area of their Christian walk. The Sunday morning service tells us what we should be doing while Sunday evening's message tells us how to do it. Ohana Baptist Church pastorwayne@obchurch.org Pastor Wayne Surface Are you just a spectator at church? To many Christians are "Fair-weather fans" & "Arm-chair quarterbacks". Heb 12:1-2, I Co 12:12-18, Jn 6:2,66, I Co 15:57-58 Are you just a spectator at church? To many Christians are "Fair-weather fans" & "Arm-chair quarterbacks". We need to be season-ticket fanatics for God. None of us are good enough for God's team. He accepts nothing but 100% through Christ. The game is already won and in the record books - the victory is ours. Get in the game & be a team player. The best defense is a good offense. Listen to the coach and the umpire.

I Samuel 3:1-10, Isaiah 55:6-7, Jeremiah 33:3, 29:11-13 We have no reception with God because we have no SIM card; our spiritual battery (the Holy Spirit) needs to be recharged; and we are out of calling zone.

The problem was that the Pharisees "appointed themselves" to be the judge of men. Mt 23:1-5,23, Jer 8:5-6,Mic 6:6-8 The word Pharisee = "to separate". Not necessarily a bad thing. Jesus told His disciples to do what the Pharisees told them to. The problem was that the Pharisees "appointed themselves" to be the judge of men. We need to be Fundamentalists without the attitude. Jesus told us that we ought to have done the things that the Pharisees did, just not to leave the others undone. Let's add the love & mercy as well as the worship & praise without leaving the other undone. http://www.obchurch.org/index.php/messages/5995 Mon, 23 Jan 2012 04:00:01 -0800 3778 family, friends Pastor Wayne Surface Is God your high tower of refuge and to see what is coming? Ps 18:1-3, Gen 11:1-9, II Sam 22:2-4, Ezk 33:1-9 Are you building your own tower of Babel as you try to climb the ladder of success? True success can only come in the Lord.

We need to man the watchtower and warn people of judgement to come. http://www.obchurch.org/index.php/messages/5994 Sun, 22 Jan 2012 20:30:39 -0800 2774 family, friends Guest Speaker Jesus has a set of rules on what it takes to be His disciple Why do I exist; what is God's purpose for my life?

God gave us the rainbow to remind us of His promises. We need to see His promises through the prism of the Trinity and His Word. You may not find a pot of gold at the end of the rainbow, but you can find God's treasures for you in His word. Don't get caught up by the fool's gold of the world. Be faithful to God in your generation and you will find what you are looking for. http://www.obchurch.org/index.php/messages/5985 Sun, 15 Jan 2012 20:30:41 -0800 2640 family, friends Guest Speaker When a person is saved he has a new allegiance, he has a new affection, and he has a new appetite.

The name of Christ is the only name and his name should inspire us. Is your name associated with Christ? What does you name say about you and Him? There are three logos that Christians used in Bible times - The Cross, the "Way", and the Fish. What do they mean? http://www.obchurch.org/index.php/messages/5950 Mon, 02 Jan 2012 04:00:57 -0800 2418 family, friends Pastor Wayne Surface Do you have a vision from God for your life?

Everyone is Addicted to something > What are you addicted to? Addictions never just "happen", an individual has to START something, and doing it regularly before it will become an addiction. God needs to be the most important "addiction" in our lives. http://www.obchurch.org/index.php/messages/5943 Mon, 26 Dec 2011 04:30:41 -0800 642 family, friends Guest Speaker Are you Prepared for the Future; are you prepared for Eternity?

Start your spiritual stimulus package today! There are three indicators of a slowdown or downturn: Spending - less time with God in prayer, Bible and church. Saving - souls being saved is down.

He was a man of sorrow. Our problems become our identity and our idol. His prayer was that God would bless him indeed (so he could be a blessing), enlarge hos coast (there must be more to life), God's hand would be with him (Show the world what God can do), and keep me from evil (It is better to stay out of evil than to get out of trouble).

Luke 14:26-27,33, Philippians 2:5-7, I John 4:19, Psalms 27:10 She is my mother because I was born. God is my Father because I was born again. I know I was born because I have a birth certificate, have life, had spankings, have her DNA and my mom told me. Same way I know I was born again. My mom taught me to be a servant because she served me. I love her because she first loved me. http://www.obchurch.org/index.php/messages/5821 Sun, 16 Oct 2011 20:30:06 -0700 2499 family, friends Pastor Wayne Surface What is it you have in your hand that God wants you to cast down before Him. "Speak softly and carry a big stick." What is it you have in your hand that God wants you to cast down before Him. Moses cast down a crooked - his shepherd's staff - and then picked up a snake. What fears and lies of Satan do you have to grab hold of? Moses used a double stick and struck the rock twice. Be careful not to go back to old ways. http://www.obchurch.org/index.php/messages/5814 Mon, 10 Oct 2011 04:00:30 -0700 3196 family, friends Pastor Wayne Surface God is the great I Am of the Bible. He is who He is. He cannot be defined, nor needs to be proven. Are you putting God first in your life? God is the great I Am of the Bible. He is who He is. He cannot be defined, nor needs to be proven. He is self-existent and always exists in the present. Evil is the absence of God as darkness in the absence of light or cold is the absence of heat. An I what God wants me to be? To be born again? To be transformed? I can do what I should do and not be who I should be, but I cannot be who I should be and not do what I should do.

It is the lives of individuals that have been changed through the power of God. Acts 14:27, 2:41-42, Isaiah 42:12, Zechariah 4:6 History is not just dates, times, and places or people. It is the lives of individuals that have been changed through the power of God. History is His-story, God working in lives.
