Pastor Buddy Wimberly "The Nature Of Faith" Luke 17:5-6

5  And the apostles said unto the Lord, Increase our faith. 
6  And the Lord said, If ye had faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye might say unto this sycamine tree, Be thou plucked up by the root, and be thou planted in the sea; and it should obey you. 

All the defects in our christian character boil down to the crude fact of a lack of faith in the testimony of God. Can we just believe what God has said, no matter the seeming impossibility that it presents.
Jesus has challenged His disciples to forgive without condition and they think this to be too great a task for them although Jesus has commanded it. They have become the object of their own passions and resort to asking Jesus to increase their faith. 
Jesus' response to them is that the slightest of true faith would do even more remarkable miracles than forgiveness. Like the sycamine tree being plucked up by the root and planted in a inhospitable environment like the sea where no sycamine may naturally grow. Yet but a simple true trust in the absolute power of God would change the nature of the tree, the sea and/or the person. 
Many say that they have faith in God but faith is an action word. Jesus said if you have it you might say... or you will forgive or you will just do Gods will against your natural response.

Bro TJ Harrison “Our Father” Matthew 6:9

Matthew 6:9
9 After this manner therefore pray ye: Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name.

Galatians 4:4-9
4 But when the fulness of the time was come, God sent forth his Son, made of a woman, made under the law,
5 To redeem them that were under the law, that we might receive the adoption of sons.
6 And because ye are sons, God hath sent forth the Spirit of his Son into your hearts, crying, Abba, Father.
7 Wherefore thou art no more a servant, but a son; and if a son, then an heir of God through Christ.


Psalm 9:9-10
9 The LORD also will be a refuge for the oppressed, a refuge in times of trouble.
10 And they that know thy name will put their trust in thee: for thou, LORD, hast not forsaken them that seek thee.

Pastor Buddy Wimberly "The Temple of the Living God" 2 Corinthians 6:14-18

14  Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness? 
15  And what concord hath Christ with Belial? or what part hath he that believeth with an infidel? 
16  And what agreement hath the temple of God with idols? for ye are the temple of the living God; as God hath said, I will dwell in them, and walk in them; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people. 
17  Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you, 
18  And will be a Father unto you, and ye shall be my sons and daughters, saith the Lord Almighty.

Pastor Buddy Wimberly "Two Lost Sons" Luke 15:11-32

The Parable of the Prodigal Son
11  And he said, A certain man had two sons: 
12  And the younger of them said to his father, Father, give me the portion of goods that falleth to me. And he divided unto them his living. 
13  And not many days after the younger son gathered all together, and took his journey into a far country, and there wasted his substance with riotous living. 
14  And when he had spent all, there arose a mighty famine in that land; and he began to be in want. 
15  And he went and joined himself to a citizen of that country; and he sent him into his fields to feed swine. 
16  And he would fain have filled his belly with the husks that the swine did eat: and no man gave unto him. 
17  And when he came to himself, he said, How many hired servants of my father's have bread enough and to spare, and I perish with hunger! 
18  I will arise and go to my father, and will say unto him, Father, I have sinned against heaven, and before thee, 
19  And am no more worthy to be called thy son: make me as one of thy hired servants. 
20  And he arose, and came to his father. But when he was yet a great way off, his father saw him, and had compassion, and ran, and fell on his neck, and kissed him. 
21  And the son said unto him, Father, I have sinned against heaven, and in thy sight, and am no more worthy to be called thy son. 
22  But the father said to his servants, Bring forth the best robe, and put it on him; and put a ring on his hand, and shoes on his feet: 
23  And bring hither the fatted calf, and kill it; and let us eat, and be merry: 
24  For this my son was dead, and is alive again; he was lost, and is found. And they began to be merry. 
25  Now his elder son was in the field: and as he came and drew nigh to the house, he heard musick and dancing. 
26  And he called one of the servants, and asked what these things meant. 
27  And he said unto him, Thy brother is come; and thy father hath killed the fatted calf, because he hath received him safe and sound. 
28  And he was angry, and would not go in: therefore came his father out, and intreated him. 
29  And he answering said to his father, Lo, these many years do I serve thee, neither transgressed I at any time thy commandment: and yet thou never gavest me a kid, that I might make merry with my friends: 
30  But as soon as this thy son was come, which hath devoured thy living with harlots, thou hast killed for him the fatted calf. 
31  And he said unto him, Son, thou art ever with me, and all that I have is thine. 
32  It was meet that we should make merry, and be glad: for this thy brother was dead, and is alive again; and was lost, and is found.

Pastor Buddy Wimberly "One Sinner" Luke 15:1-10

The Parable of the Lost Sheep
1  Then drew near unto him all the publicans and sinners for to hear him. 
2  And the Pharisees and scribes murmured, saying, This man receiveth sinners, and eateth with them. 
3  And he spake this parable unto them, saying, 
4  What man of you, having an hundred sheep, if he lose one of them, doth not leave the ninety and nine in the wilderness, and go after that which is lost, until he find it? 
5  And when he hath found it, he layeth it on his shoulders, rejoicing. 
6  And when he cometh home, he calleth together his friends and neighbours, saying unto them, Rejoice with me; for I have found my sheep which was lost. 
7  I say unto you, that likewise joy shall be in heaven over one sinner that repenteth, more than over ninety and nine just persons, which need no repentance. 
The Parable of the Lost Coin
8  Either what woman having ten pieces of silver, if she lose one piece, doth not light a candle, and sweep the house, and seek diligently till she find it? 
9  And when she hath found it, she calleth her friends and her neighbours together, saying, Rejoice with me; for I have found the piece which I had lost. 
10  Likewise, I say unto you, there is joy in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner that repenteth.

Pastor Buddy Wimberly “My Sin” Psalm 51:1-17

1  To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David, when Nathan the prophet came unto him, after he had gone in to Bathsheba. Have mercy upon me, O God, according to thy lovingkindness: according unto the multitude of thy tender mercies blot out my transgressions.
2  Wash me throughly from mine iniquity, and cleanse me from my sin.
3  For I acknowledge my transgressions: and my sin is ever before me.
4  Against thee, thee only, have I sinned, and done this evil in thy sight: that thou mightest be justified when thou speakest, and be clear when thou judgest.
5  Behold, I was shapen in iniquity; and in sin did my mother conceive me.
6  Behold, thou desirest truth in the inward parts: and in the hidden part thou shalt make me to know wisdom.
7  Purge me with hyssop, and I shall be clean: wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow.
8  Make me to hear joy and gladness; that the bones which thou hast broken may rejoice.
9  Hide thy face from my sins, and blot out all mine iniquities.
10  Create in me a clean heart, O God; and renew a right spirit within me.
11  Cast me not away from thy presence; and take not thy holy spirit from me.
12  Restore unto me the joy of thy salvation; and uphold me with thy free spirit.
13  Then will I teach transgressors thy ways; and sinners shall be converted unto thee.
14  Deliver me from bloodguiltiness, O God, thou God of my salvation: and my tongue shall sing aloud of thy righteousness.
15  O Lord, open thou my lips; and my mouth shall shew forth thy praise.
16  For thou desirest not sacrifice; else would I give it: thou delightest not in burnt offering.
17  The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit: a broken and a contrite heart, O God, thou wilt not despise.

Isaiah 64:6-7
6  But we are all as an unclean thing, and all our righteousnesses are as filthy rags; and we all do fade as a leaf; and our iniquities, like the wind, have taken us away.
7  And there is none that calleth upon thy name, that stirreth up himself to take hold of thee: for thou hast hid thy face from us, and hast consumed us, because of our iniquities.
