Summary: This sermon tries deals with the importance of pulling it all together in our relationship with Christ, others and ourselves.
Some Assembly Required
Text: Hebrews 10:22-25
Let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience, and our bodies washed with pure water.
Let us hold fast the profession of our faith without wavering; (for he is faithful that promised;)
And let us consider one another to provoke unto love and to good works:
Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some is; but exhorting one another: and so much the more, as ye see the day approaching.
Introduction:
Every one of us can remember something we got as a gift or bought to make our life easier that had the most dreaded phrase known to civilized man. It is the phrase, “Some Assembly Required.” What would Christmas have been like without Dad sitting in the middle of a pile of bicycle parts that he wished he had let the guy at the store put together? Things that you used to put together with a screwdriver, wrench and hammer now takes a PhD in Engineering to assemble.
Just as in the physical world there is some assembly required in the spiritual world. There are three areas that I want us to talk about that will help us complete our relationship and walk with each other and ultimately Jesus Christ.
I. Assembling Our self
· Getting Our self Together
· Let Revival Start With Me
· Ephesians 6:11-13
Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.
For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.
Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.
II. Assembling With Each Other
· Unity
· Fitly Joined Together
· Love One Another
III. Assembling With Christ
· Becoming Christ Like
· Holiness
Conclusion:
You could say our spiritual life is like a box of Lego’s. A jumbled mess, but when put together they make something great.
