A Troubled Heart/Matters Of The Heart

Sermon delivered by me, Sunday, 3-11-12



John 14:1-5


Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me.

God tells us  not to worry about anything because He has our back. He will take care of us.  Why do we worry so much?  He tells us that when we have ran this race, not for ought or nought we will win a crown.  Our reward is: He will  take us to that mansion with many rooms that he has prepared for us. When he returns from heaven he will take us there. Whats in your heart, what are the matters of our heart?  Do we have the love, joy and peace for our fellow man that we should?

Who do we fellowship with, who is in our inner circle?  Do the three that is in our inner circle have the fruits of the spirit?  Is one of them for the Father, one for the son and one for the Holy Spirit? When they come to our door to fellowship with us, what do they bring to our table? Do they cuss and fuss telling us to do what is wrong, or do they have the characteristics of love, joy and peace of the Holy Spirit?

Jesus had three in his inner circle: Peter, James and John. James and John were the sons of Zebedees. One wanted to sit on the right and the other on his left side. They did not understand what they were asking of Jesus. They could not spiritually or rightfully at that time hold the position they asked Jesus for.

Peter, whom Jesus made fisherman of men, always got into trouble by having a high temper and forward mouth. In our inner circle we should have people who love and are willing to help us, not curse us.


When Jesus makes us a promise he will keep it. God says, "before one tilt of His word fails, heaven and earth will pass away. There are two sides to every situation. The other side is that He tells us to keep His commandments so that we and our children will be blessed coming in and going out.



God break every yoke in this Church, in Jesus name.
