Cancer sucks
I have had an Aunt and Grandfather that died of cancer and watch my mother battle cancer and is currently cancer free.
We have folks in this Church fight cancer and the motorcycle community.
Every family I know has been touched by cancer, weather it be them, their parents, children, husband, wife.
Every one.
What is Cancer?
Evil, Satan, we call cancer IT as if it is some alien thing that has invested our body.
Cancer is us....It is our own cells that deviate from their intended purpose.
These wayward cells then multiply and spread to other areas of the body.
Cancer kills you because it interferes with the functions of the body necessary for life.
What do we do when we learn cancer has formed?
We start studying the cause, the treatment and the cure.
What kind of cancer is it?
What are the treatment options?
What are all the particulars about the cures?
Some people join support groups, go to meetings with their doctors, see specialists.
Read read and read some more.
But until you allow the chemotherapy to be put into your body, healing does not occur.
Meetings with doctors, becoming more informed, support groups do nothing, if you are not applying the cure.
Sin is Cancer
Sin, left unchecked in one area of your life, with infect every area of your life and will eventually lead to eternal death.

God has a plan do deal with the sin in your life.
His plan is Christ Jesus.
But like chemotherapy, it is simple to accept the cure, but anyone that has had rounds of chemo, it’s not easy.
People that have had chemo have told me that it would be easier to let the cancer just do its thing and die then to go through chemo.
And if you have accepted Christ there are time when you know it would feel better not to follow Christ’s example and to allow your flesh to just run amuck.
But like cancer it ends the same way.
You have to take all the chemo.
It’s never a one and done thing is it?
Neither is accepting Christ.
Repent
In Jesus spoke his first words to John (the baptist), then to satan, then to the people.
His very first words to the people are found in
repent - turning away.
Changing direction.
To repent you turn from the world to Christ.
World- lust of the flesh and lust of the eyes and boastful pride of life.
Follow
Forgive

Forgive others
How Many times?
Become Humble
Ephesians
Love
Mark 12:3
1 Corinthians 13:
But how can anyone live that way?
With the Holy Spirit of God living in you, it is difficult.
Without God its impossible.
With the Holy Spirit
But I went forward and professed Christ and got baptized, and I tithe, and I come to Church.
Isn’t that enough?
We are sheep
Sheep are mentioned more than 500 times in the bible.
When we take our eyes off of Jesus and start trying to make our own way, we wonder to the flesh.
Broke leg sheep
I’m going to share with you a complete myth that has biblical truths.
Sheep are heard animals.
They stay together and follow each other.
The problem is if you have a sheep that wonders, first, that sheep is at risk of falling prey to predators and second, can lead other sheep astray with him.
The myth goes like this: A shepherd in that time would take the wondering sheep and break its leg so that it could stand, but not walk.
The shepherd would carry the sheep around his neck and set it down by food and water.
He wold also sleep with it at night by his side to protect it.
The sheep would learn the shepherds voice, and his look and smell intimately.
It would also learn to be completely dependent on the shepherd so by the time the leg healed, the sheep would never wonder again.
There is no evidence that this ever happened.
It is a myth traced back to some Christian writing in 1955
The spiritual application is this.
God will not let you continue to sin if you are truly His Sheep.
He will allow you circumstances be such that you will become completely dependent on Him.
A.W. Tozer said this: “It is doubtful whether God can bless a man greatly until he has hurt him deeply.”
We are to correct one another.
2 Timothy 4:1-
We are cowards when it comes to correcting one another.
I’m a coward when it comes to correcting others.
I’m afraid that all you have to do is look down at the pile of logs at my feet and say, who are you to judge me?
I don’t want to
But here’s the deal.
I need you to get the specks out of my eyes too.
I want to see revival, not just in this Church body, but the biker community as a whole.
I want to see lives changed by the gospel of Jesus Christ.
In order for that to happen, we need to see the refiners fire in the pages of the Bible.
We need to be refined.
Allow to truth of Jesus Christ burn away all the impurities of our lives so that what is left is pure, strong, and precious.
I can tell you this.
It is better to be one of His sheep with a broken leg, than happily walking our own way with the wolf breathing down our necks.
Repentant
Follower of Jesus
Forgiving
Humble
Loving
If those words don’t describe you, you should question your own salvation.
At what cost are you willing pay to follow Him?
“I do more than most” will get you the finest seat in hell.
Is God correcting you?
If you are His, then you will experience God’s correction?
Are the circumstances of your life evidence of God’s correction?
