I PROMISE (Part 6) - God's Promise of Fulfillment (Pastor Danny Schulz)

Danny wraps up the final message of the I Promise series with a look at where ultimate fulfillment comes from. It is an inspiring and challenging reminder to not do life alone.

Exodus 6:6-7 (NIV) - 6 "Therefore, say to the Israelites: 'I am the LORD, and I will bring you out from under the yoke of the Egyptians. I will free you from being slaves to them, and I will redeem you with an outstretched arm and with mighty acts of judgment. 7 I will take you as my own people, and I will be your God. Then you will know that I am the LORD your God, who brought you out from under the yoke of the Egyptians."

John 10:10 (TLB) - The thief's purpose is to steal, kill and destroy. My purpose is to give life in all its fullness.

Psalms 38:4 (NLT) - My guilt overwhelms me - it is a burden too heavy to bear.

James 4:1 (NLT) - What is causing the quarrels and fights among you? Don't they come from the evil desires at war within you?

James 4:1a (MSG) - Where do you think all these appalling wars and quarrels come from? Do you think they just happen? Think again. They come about because you want your own way...

Genesis 2:18a (NLT) - Then the Lord God said, “It is not good for the man to be alone."

Ecclesiastes 4:8 (NLT) - This is the case of a man who is all alone, without a child or a brother, yet who works hard to gain as much wealth as he can. But then he asks himself, “Who am I working for? Why am I giving up so much pleasure now?” It is all so meaningless and depressing.

Exodus 6:7a (NIV) - I will take you as my own people, and I will be your God...

2 Timothy 1:8b-9 (MSG) - 8b We can only keep on going, after all, by the power of God, 9 who first saved us and then called us to this holy work. We had nothing to do with it. It was all his idea, a gift prepared for us in Jesus long before we knew anything about it.

Acts 20:24 (NLT) - But my life is worth nothing to me unless I use it for finishing the work assigned me by the Lord Jesus-the work of telling others the Good News about the wonderful grace of God.

Ecclesiastes 4:9 (NLT) - Two people are better off than one, for they can help each other succeed.

I PROMISE (Part 4) - God's Promise of Freedom (Pastor Danny Schulz)

We take a look at God's promise for freedom inside of this message. Have a listen and be inspired and encouraged on your journey of becoming who God has called you to be.

Exodus 6:6-7 (NIV) - 6 "Therefore, say to the Israelites: 'I am the LORD, and I will bring you out from under the yoke of the Egyptians. I will free you from being slaves to them, and I will redeem you with an outstretched arm and with mighty acts of judgment. 7 I will take you as my own people, and I will be your God. Then you will know that I am the LORD your God, who brought you out from under the yoke of the Egyptians."

Ephesians 2:8-9 (NLT) - 8 God saved you by his grace when you believed. And you can't take credit for this; it is a gift from God. 9 Salvation is not a reward for the good things we have done, so none of us can boast about it.

Philippians 2:12b-13 (NLT) - 12b Work hard to show the results of your salvation, obeying God with deep reverence and fear. 13 For God is working in you, giving you the desire and the power to do what pleases him.

Romans 7:21-25 (NLT) - 21 I have discovered this principle of life-that when I want to do what is right, I inevitably do what is wrong. 22 I love God's law with all my heart. 23 But there is another power within me that is at war with my mind. This power makes me a slave to the sin that is still within me. 24 Oh, what a miserable person I am! Who will free me from this life that is dominated by sin and death? 25 Thank God! The answer is in Jesus Christ our Lord. So you see how it is: In my mind I really want to obey God's law, but because of my sinful nature I am a slave to sin.

Ephesians 4:26-27 (NLT) - 26 And “don't sin by letting anger control you.” Don't let the sun go down while you are still angry, 27 for anger gives a foothold to the devil.

Romans 8:1-2 (NLT) - 1 So now there is no condemnation for those who belong to Christ Jesus. 2 And because you belong to him, the power of the life-giving Spirit has freed you from the power of sin that leads to death.

Romans 8:5-6 (NLT) - 5 Those who are dominated by the sinful nature think about sinful things, but those who are controlled by the Holy Spirit think about things that please the Spirit. 6 So letting your sinful nature control your mind leads to death. But letting the Spirit control your mind leads to life and peace.

1 John 1:9 (NLT) - But if we confess our sins to him, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all wickedness.

James 5:16a (NLT) - Confess your sins to each other and pray for each other so that you may be healed.

Acts 2:41a (NLT) - Those who believed what Peter said were baptized and added to the church that day...

Acts 8:12-13a (NLT) - 12 But now the people believed Philip's message of Good News concerning the Kingdom of God and the name of Jesus Christ. As a result, many men and women were baptized. 13 Then Simon himself believed and was baptized.

I PROMISE (Part 3) - God's Promise of Salvation (Pastor Danny Schulz)

We continue to learn about the promises of God and how to grab hold of them with both hands in this third message of the I PROMISE series. Listen in as Pastor Danny talks about the Promise of Salvation.

Exodus 6:6-7 (NIV) - 6 "Therefore, say to the Israelites: 'I am the LORD, and I will bring you out from under the yoke of the Egyptians. I will free you from being slaves to them, and I will redeem you with an outstretched arm and with mighty acts of judgment. 7 I will take you as my own people, and I will be your God. Then you will know that I am the LORD your God, who brought you out from under the yoke of the Egyptians."

John 8:34-35a (MSG) - 34 Jesus said, "I tell you most solemnly that anyone who chooses a life of sin is trapped in a dead-end life and is, in fact, a slave.  35 A slave is a transient, who can't come and go at will.

John 10:10 (NLT) - The thief's purpose is to steal and kill and destroy. My purpose is to give them a rich and satisfying life.


Romans 8:1-2 (NLT) - 1 So now there is no condemnation for those who belong to Christ Jesus. 2 And because you belong to him, the power of the life-giving Spirit has freed you from the power of sin that leads to death.

2 Corinthians 6:17-18 (NLT) - 17 Therefore, come out from among unbelievers, and separate yourselves from them, says the Lord. Don't touch their filthy things, and I will welcome you. 18 And I will be your Father, and you will be my sons and daughters, says the Lord Almighty.


Mark 8:34a (MSG) - Calling the crowd to join his disciples, he said, "Anyone who intends to come with me has to let me lead. You're not in the driver's seat; I am."

Romans 6:19 (NLT) - Because of the weakness of your human nature, I am using the illustration of slavery to help you understand all this. Previously, you let yourselves be slaves to impurity and lawlessness, which led ever deeper into sin. Now you must give yourselves to be slaves to righteous living so that you will become holy.
