Sermon 4: God's Ten Commandments - The First Commandment

Ten laws from God were set in stone. Ten laws that God has commanded us to follow. These are the ten laws we must obey in order to stay on the path that leads to Heaven.

These ten laws have needed no amendments, no additions and no repeals. These ten laws were truly revealed to Moses by God.

God’s First Commandment


I AM THE LORD THY GOD, WHO HAVE BROUGHT THEE OUT OF THE LAND OF EGYPT, OUT OF THE HOUSE OF SLAVERY.

THOU SHALT HAVE NO OTHER GODS BEFORE ME.


This commandment teaches us all we need to know about God, from God Himself. No one else can do what God can do. No one else has done what God has done.

God reveals these Commandments after delivering the masses out of harsh slavery in Egypt and proves that Moses was correct about the power of God. No amount of arms can defeat His unarmed believers, no amount of money can buy the soul of His non-wealthy believers, no human power can overcome the power of His love for His believers. He proves that the people who were not worshipping God directly were not on the right path to Heaven. God taught the Egyptians a hard lesson about love – the love of God, the love of other people, and the love of God for His creations.

Humanity, all of whom must spend their time on earth learning that faith, trust and love is more important than knowledge, needed a message from God so that humanity could survive. God loves us so much that He stepped in to give us these laws that we truly needed then and still need to this day.

No matter what else someone tells you about where to draw your strength and guidance from (even benign things like trusting in luck and such), you are to know that God is your one source of strength and guidance. God is the Creator of All and God is to be appreciated and obeyed.

This is because God has set you on a path to Everlasting Joy and, during your life on earth, He commands you to develop the characteristics necessary for your continued journey to Heaven (tolerance, patience, etc.) by following the directions God gives you. You must “tune in” to God and be alert to the signs God gives you during your lifetime.

The path to Heaven contains these lessons and learning those lessons quickly will help to smooth out the “bumps” in your path.
God does not want you to be distracted from these lessons and make things harder on yourself. You will receive greater joy on earth if you are aware of your purpose here, so the answer is easy. FOLLOW GOD.

Belief in God is truly the time to put all your eggs in one basket. You may never understand anything about Him but His love for you, and that is enough.

Sermon 3: The Path of Least Resistance

Your life on earth is very important to God. During your time on earth, God has set you upon a path that leads you, the creations He loves unconditionally, to develop the qualities that will allow you to make a choice to accept Heaven, to accept good without evil.
In the story of the Garden of Eden, the creation of the Garden shows us that what God really wishes for us is eternal life in Paradise. The Fall of the Garden of Eden is proof that Heaven will not be handed to us on a silver platter. This is by God’s design.

It is proven on earth because we commonly accept that the greatest victories are the hard-won victories. Overcoming perceived hardships on your earthly path to Heaven makes your final acceptance of never-ending blissful joy the sweetest victory of all.

Knowledge was chosen over faith, trust and love of God by Adam and Eve, and by extension has been chosen by each of us. No one begins the journey to Heaven with an absolute acceptance of it. In fact, I believe that while developing each heavenly trait in ourselves we pass from denial to acceptance in the same hard-fought stages that are widely used in theories of overcoming grief: denial, anger, bargaining, depression and finally, acceptance.

What can be done to make your path to Heaven a path of the least resistance? You must maximize the acceptance of your heavenly qualities while minimizing the time spent on denial, anger, bargaining and depression.

To do this, you must recognize the traits you need to develop to accept the limitless good of Heaven. Pay close attention to the lessons God is teaching you – they are all designed to turn negative characteristics into positive, heavenly ones. When difficult times are upon you, they are there to teach you something. Perhaps you still have something to learn about being selfish, about being intolerant, about loving others, about loving yourself.

So, to make your path the path of least resistance, be the type of person today that you expect to be when you get to Heaven. When Adam and Eve ate from the Tree of Knowledge, it illustrated that we all are infused with the knowledge of what is good and what is bad. You know you know it because, when you are about to step into a direction that is “bad”, you begin to THINK. When you step in the direction of “good”, you do so with faith, trust and love.

Accept your path and your joyous destiny today. Treat others and yourself the way you imagine you will be treating them in Heaven. Check in moment by moment with God – He is watching your path very closely and is available for help at any time.

As always, thank you very much for reading our sermons and we hope they will help you find easier ways to cope with “bumps” in your life’s path. If you would like more personalized direction in an area of difficulty, please email us at candylovespop2@yahoo.com.

Sermon 2: Keep God With You

When the sun rose this morning did you thank God for that miraculous happening? Did you even consider that the sun rising is a miraculous happening? Did you look outside and thank God for the beauty of the trees, the sky, the earth, the clouds, the planets? Did you thank God for the green lights when you drove somewhere? Did you feel appreciation for all the good things that happened to you today and share that appreciation with God?

It’s easy to talk to God anytime, anywhere. He’s right there, walking every step of your path with you. Your loving God remains at your beck and call, even during times when you are doing everything you can to push Him away.

Thanking God during the day is probably one of the easiest ways to get in the good habit of keeping Him close to you. And keeping Him close to you, talking to Him all day long, will fill you with strength. As you spend more of your day talking to God, you will feel a lightness begin around your heart. Pay close attention so you will be conscious of this feeling – it makes it easy to know that God is with you.

Surrounding yourself with God will give you all the strength you need to pursue your path to Heaven. Wearing God all over you makes the right choices easier to make and your next steps clear as a bell.

So, start getting into the habit of thankfulness and gratitude to God. A close parking space, a customer who didn’t have a complaint, an empty cash register line – this world is so complicated that all these seemingly random events are actually fantastic happenings. You will begin to perceive this world in a different light – when mail actually gets to its recipient it will now be a opportunity for you to thank God for the amazing things He set into motion.

Joy will naturally follow.

Sermon 1: God Has a Plan

Have you ever questioned God’s love because God lets people die? Do you wonder how to love a God that can be cruel? You must stop yourself from judging God in this manner. There is another side to the story.

Death from a life on earth is not an act of cruelty, when God’s plan for us is complete joy in an Everlasting Life of Abundance.
Why must we rely on faith in this plan and are not just given proof?

God’s motives will never be understandable to us and have no expectations of ever being able to figure it all out. God is the Creator of the Universe. No living person will ever be able to completely understand something so complicated and vast as the entire universe. So, it’s a given that we’ll also never be able to understand its Creator.

God has told us in the Bible that it will all become clear to us when we reach His Kingdom. So, while on earth, God lets us learn everything we need to prepare for a rewarding afterlife. Every experience you live through is a path designed to gain knowledge of good and evil, evaluate the differences between them and to improve the choices you make between the two. It is God’s plan for preparing us for an afterlife where there is only good. You are being prepared to be able to choose Heaven. You must be ready to bask completely and forever in unabated joy, never thinking it may end or wondering if you deserved it.

God is showing us during our lifetimes that trust, faith, and love are much more important than knowledge. It is the supreme lesson of the Fall of the Garden of Eden.

God won’t put you in Heaven until you have learned not to make a hell of it. But He will never stop teaching you. No matter what, He will never stop loving you.

In the beginning, God separated the heavens from the earth. You are experiencing the earth now. What makes you think that experiencing the heavens doesn’t come next? Heaven IS next!!!! Rejoice today!!!!

Talk to God constantly. Love God. Thank God. Wrap Him all around you. Let Him know that you are committing yourself to appreciate all that’s good in the world so you can choose to accept a Heaven of limitless happiness.

Be tickled that He loves you so much. Because you know how you are.
