James 2:14 What doth it profit, my brethren, though a man say he hath faith, and have not works? can faith save him?
James chapter 2 is often twisted by those who seek to add works as a requirement to receive the free gift of salvation. This sermon explains the purpose of works in the life of a believer.
Sins That Will Get You Kicked Out of Church – Part 4
1 Peter 3:9 Not rendering evil for evil, or railing for railing: but contrariwise blessing; knowing that ye are thereunto called, that ye should inherit a blessing.
We are instructed to kick railers out of the church. The bible describes railers as rebellious, proud and ignorant: a hallmark of a reprobate.
1 Corinthians 10:12 Wherefore let him that thinketh he standeth take heed lest he fall.
Old Testament Israel experienced great blessings through the Lord’s deliverance, yet the nation would often be cursed for their great sins. We are to take heed to these examples lest we also fall.
John 20:20 And when he had so said, he shewed unto them his hands and his side. Then were the disciples glad, when they saw the Lord.
Following the resurrection of Jesus Christ, he made numerous physical appearances to his disciples. Theses are the many infallible proofs which affirm that our faith is not in vain.
1 Corinthians 9:16 For though I preach the gospel, I have nothing to glory of: for necessity is laid upon me; yea, woe is unto me, if I preach not the gospel!
Preaching the gospel is the greatest way to honour and celebrate the resurrection of Jesus Christ. The church worker who preaches the gospel should also be able to live of the gospel.
Matthew 9:37-38 Then saith he unto his disciples, The harvest truly is plenteous, but the labourers are few; Pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest, that he will send forth labourers into his harvest.
Summary:
31 in attendance
13 soul winners preaching the gospel
8 souls saved in Nambour
Morning Session
Meeting at a hall in Nambour, we had 10 soul winners divided into 5 groups who went preaching the gospel. There were 5 souls saved that morning.
Those who stayed behind in the hall with the children watched videos on Soul Winning for Beginners to equip them for future opportunities.
Lunch
Everyone was deserving of a well earned rest and light lunch. It is always exciting to exchange stories of the people who were spoken to at the door or on the street.
Afternoon Session
With a slight change of silent partners, 9 individuals continued knocking the doors on their designated maps. There was an additional 3 souls who received Jesus as their saviour in the afternoon.
Church Service & Dinner
We ended the day with a church service which was a great time of rejoicing over the 8 souls saved. It was a time for singing praises, bible reading, and preaching of sermons. Needless to say, dinner was enjoyed by all.

Acts 2:41 Then they that gladly received his word were baptized: and the same day there were added unto them about three thousand souls.
This church event was linked with the global 2018 Soul Winning Mega Marathon efforts to preach the gospel across all nations. Amazingly, the results have equaled the numbers we read about in the book of Acts. Praise God!
