"How to Take God's Word and Bring Results"

[An outline of the message I preached]
Foundation Scriptures: Nehemiah 8; matthew 13:1-27

SUMMARY: God always starts with a word (Proverbs 4:7) but he has given us the accountability to be fruitful and multiply. (Genesis 1:28)

I. Be attentive to his Word

a. Become teachable (Nehemiah 8:3)

b. Stay focused (Nehemiah 8:7)

II. Get an understanding of His Word. (Nehemiah 8:12)

a. grasp a hold of it (Nehemiah 8:9-10,12)

b. perceive the full function of His Word in 'your' life.

c. know how-to use it in 'your' life.

III. Be faithful over God's Word by being: (Matthew 25:20-23)

a. Be Fruitful

b. and Multiply (Genesis 1:28; Matthew 13:23)

*Read 25:24-27

Closing: The Word of God was never meant to stay with you. It was given to you for you to do something with it. He has palce the talents into your hand to see what you will do wit what he gave you. Only those that grasp a hold to this revealed wisdom will be the one that the Lord of the harvest says, 'well done, good and faithful servant...I will make thee ruler over many things.,"

We determine how God responds to us. As I close I leave you with thi: "Will you be fruitful and multiply?

Grace be unto you.

Amen
