Sermon Notes:  Friendly Chapel North Little Rock, Arkansas- Bro. Paul Holderfield, Jr.



God uses crooked sticks to draw a straight line.


Matthew 22:36-37 Teacher, which is the great commandment in the Law?”  And he said to him, “You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.  This is the great and first commandment.
Romans 8:1 There is therefore now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus.

 Jesus said to him, “Truly, I tell you, this very night, before the rooster crows, you will deny me three times.” 35 Peter said to him, “Even if I must die with you, I will not deny you!” And all the disciples said the same

No one is perfect but Jesus.  When His Spirit is leading us, God can use us to draw people to Him.
We have to let the Lord teach us, humble us. mold us to be more like Him.

We need to care more for the person next to us instead of trying to get something for ourselves.  We can be the one to share the love of Jesus where God has planted us.  There are no excuses.

Don't spread bad things about someone because they have hurt us.  Don't return evil for evil but return good.


We have to be "All In"! Not partially but all in.   People will die for what they believe; they won't die for a lie.

When we fall, weep bitterly and get back up. Matthew 26:75 And Peter remembered the saying of Jesus, “Before the rooster crows, you will deny me three times.” And he went out and wept bitterly. 

Do right.  Show people you care.  It doesn't cost anything to be kind.  It is a ministry to be kind to people, kindness is not seen much these days.  

We are Blessed because we have not seen & yet believe.

Love your children enough to show and teach them the bible.  Love them enough to tell them right from wrong.  They won't be perfect but will be a crooked stick God uses.

Our families belong to God.  We need to be "all in" with our time and everything we have left.  Give Him everything.
