SUNDAY SNAPSHOT... (FALLEN)


(Wk4) SATAN'S LIES... (Pastor Mat)

LIES and DECEPTION are Satan’s NATIVE Language!

(John 8:44) Satan is a Murderer withholding the TRUTH! There is NO TRUTH in him. His language is LIES! HE IS A LIAR and THE FATHER OF LIES!

Satan's LIE #1... Believe or Obey God - ONLY if what He requires MAKES SENSE to you! Don't FALL for it!

Satan's LIE #2... God isn’t completely GOOD! Look at how BAD the world is! Don't FALL for it!

Satan's LIE #3... When you do wrong it’s NOT really SIN - it’s just a MISTAKE! Don't FALL for it!

Satan's LIE #4... God is NOT to be FEARED! Don't FALL for it!

God says this about Satan's Lies regarding RULES...
It’s NEVER been about the RULE - it’s ALWAYS been about WHO made it!

JESUS... The Bar is HIGHER than you EVER IMAGINED! Your in MORE TROUBLE than Satan wants you to BELIEVE! You NEED GOD and He came to SET YOU FREE!

Don't miss the Sunday @ COC as Pastor Mat (our Exec Pastor) gives us a closer look at his LIES!

SUNDAY SNAPSHOT... (FALLEN)


(Wk1) Who is he...?

Who really is your ENEMY?
The Bible talks of one who has FALLEN and is the great tempter!

Satan has limitations... SCHEMES (Deceit) - TACTICS (Seduction) and LIES (Trickery)... these are the limitations that DEFINE the powers of Satan! No more – No less!

Know this about the ENEMY... IF YOU LOVE GOD – THEN SATAN HATES YOU!

Also know this about him... Satan is not an evil god - he’s not even a god at all!

There is no such thing as… ‘THE DEVIL MADE ME DO IT!’
Only those who 'give him control' are the ones who can harm THEMSELVES!

Know your responsibility...
The war may be between HEAVEN & HELL - but it's played out in the lives of each individual MAN and WOMAN!

SATAN has come to STEAL - KILL and DESTROY YOU!
Where in that equation is he at in your life?
Find RELEASE from JESUS today!

Satan cannot OPPRESS a Follower of Christ!
Satan cannot POSSESS a Follower of Christ!
My Bible says…IN CHRIST...I HAVE BEEN SET FREE!

Don't miss this week at COC as we EXPOSE him in our new series called FALLEN!!

SUNDAY SNAPSHOT... (RED Letters)


(Wk4) EncounteRED (Conflict)

MATTHEW 18:15... If your brother sins against you - GO TO THEM and show him his fault - JUST BETWEEN THE TWO OF YOU. IF... he listens to you, you have won your brother over!

The difference in spiritual or unspiritual community is not whether CONFLICT exists - it deals more with our ability to HANDLE IT correctly!

If you've been Handling Conflict the wrong way - via GOSSIP through FB or Forums... (know this) Social Network "GOSSIP" is nothing more than "Verbal Pornography" if you you're willing to keep looking at it and/or associating with it!

The First Step to Handling Conflict...
Jesus tells us to GO TO THEM - THE person you have a problem with!

The Second Step to Handling Conflict...
James (1:19) tells us to be QUICK to LISTEN in CONFLICT!

Remember... Impulsiveness can kill Restoration!

The Third Step to Handling Conflict...
James (1:19) tells us to be SLOW to SPEAK in CONFLICT!

Remember...Choose to RESPOND not REACT!

The Fourth Step to Handling Conflict...
James (1:19) tells us to be SLOW to ANGER in CONFLICT!

Remember... An ounce of Prevention is better than a pound of Cure!

Don't miss this SUNDAY as we conclude our look at RED Letters!
