Personal Integrity (vs1)

1:1b NLT …He was blameless—a man of complete integrity. He feared God and stayed away from evil.

Do the RIGHT THING no matter what.

Proverbs 20:7 ESV …The righteous who walks in his integrity - Blessed are his children after him.

Healthy Priorities (vs 1-3)

Job 1:1b-3 NLT He feared God and stayed away from evil. 2 He had seven sons and three daughters. 3 He owned 7,000 sheep, 3,000 camels, 500 teams of oxen, and 500 female donkeys. He also had many servants. He was, in fact, the richest person in that entire area.

Selfless Love (vs 4-5)

Job 1:4-5 NLT 4 Job’s sons would take turns preparing feasts in their homes, and they would also invite their three sisters to celebrate with them. 5 When these celebrations ended—sometimes after several days—Job would purify his children. He would get up early in the morning and offer a burnt offering for each of them. For Job said to himself, “Perhaps my children have sinned and have cursed God in their hearts.” This was Job’s regular practice.

Sincere faith

Job 1:4-5 For Job said to himself, He would get up early in the morning and offer a burnt offering for each of them. “Perhaps my children have sinned and have cursed God in their hearts.” This was Job’s regular practice.

Ecclesiastes 10:2 MESS Wise thinking leads to right living; Stupid thinking leads

to wrong living.

Everything BEGINS with a THOUGHT.

Romans 12:2 Don’t copy the behavior and customs of this world, but let God

transform you into a new person by changing the way you think. Then you will

learn to know God’s will for you, which is good and pleasing and perfect.

What you THINK determines how you FEEL.

Philippians 4:8-9 NIV Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is

noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is

admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such

things. Whatever you have learned or received or heard from me, or seen in

me—put it into practice. And the God of peace will be with you.

Our thoughts DETERMINE our DESTINY.

Romans 8:5-6 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. So letting your sinful nature control your mind leads to death. But

letting the Spirit control your mind leads to life and peace.

You can’t CONTROL your thinking, but you can CAPTURE it.

4 Ways To Capture Your Thoughts:

I am going to EXAMINE my thoughts.

Hebrews 4:12 NIV For the word of God is alive and active. Sharper than any

double-edged sword, it penetrates even to dividing soul and spirit, joints and

marrow; it judges the thoughts and attitudes of the heart.

I am going to REPLACE my thoughts.

Romans 12:2 NIV Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed

by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what

God’s will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will.

I am going to DIRECT my thoughts.

Isaiah 26:3 You will keep in perfect peace all who trust in you, all whose thoughts

are fixed on you!

Colossians 3:2 NLT Think about the things of heaven, not the things of earth.

I am going to GROW my thoughts.

Hebrews 10:24-25 NLT Let us think of ways to motivate one another to acts of

love and good works. And let us not neglect our meeting together, as some people

do, but encourage one another, especially now that the day of his return is drawing

near.

EGO

The lie we believe: I KNOW BEST

Proverbs 11:2 When pride comes, then comes disgrace, but with humility comes

wisdom.

Life MISMANAGEMENT

The lie we believe: I will GET TO it LATER

It is easier to PREPARE than it is to REPAIR.

Proverbs 13:16 NLT Wise people think before they act; fools don’t—and even brag

about their foolishness.

INDULGENCE

The lie we believe: I DESERVE it

I Corinthians 6:12 MESS Just because something is technically legal doesn’t mean

that it’s spiritually appropriate. If I went around doing whatever I thought I could

get by with, I’d be a slave to my whims.

ISOLATION

The live we believe: I can do it BY MYSELF

Proverbs 18:1 NASB One who separates himself seeks his own desire; He quarrels

against all sound wisdom.

SELF-SABOTAGE

The lie we believe: It’s NOT my FAULT

4 Declarations I Will Make:

I will live an OTHERS FIRST life.

Philippians 2:3-9 NIV Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit. Rather,

in humility value others above yourselves, not looking to your own interests but

each of you to the interests of the others. In your relationships with one another,

have the same mindset as Christ Jesus: Who, being in very nature God, did not

consider equality with God something to be used to his own advantage; rather, he

made himself nothing by taking the very nature of a servant, being made in human

likeness. And being found in appearance as a man, he humbled himself by

becoming obedient to death—even death on a cross! Therefore God exalted him to

the highest place and gave him the name that is above every name

I will live with personal PRIORITIES and SELF-DISCIPLINE.

I Corinthians 9:27 ESV But I discipline my body and keep it under control, lest

after preaching to others I myself should be disqualified.

Psalm 90:12 Teach us to number our days, that we may gain a heart of wisdom.

I will RAISE my STANDARDS.

Galatians 2:20 NIV I have been crucified with Christ and I no longer live, but

Christ lives in me. The life I now live in the body, I live by faith in the Son of

God, who loved me and gave himself for me.

I will invest in AUTHENTIC RELATIONSHIPS.

Ecclesiastes 4:9-12 Two are better than one, because they have a good return for

their labor: If either of them falls down, one can help the other up. But pity anyone

who falls and has no one to help them up. Also, if two lie down together, they will

keep warm. But how can one keep warm alone? Though one may be

overpowered, two can defend themselves. A cord of three strands is not quickly

broken.

Colossians 2:6-7 (MSG) My counsel for you is simple and straightforward: Just go

ahead with what you've been given. You received Christ Jesus, the Master; now

live him. Yor're deeply rooted in him. You're well constructed upon him. You

know your way around the faith. Now do what you've been taught. Schools out;

quit studying the subject and start living it! And let your living spill over into

thanksgiving.

Colossians 2:6-7 (MSG) My counsel for you is simple and straightforward: Just go

ahead with what you've been given. You received Christ Jesus, the Master; now

live him….

Recognize what you have been given.

Immanuel (Jesus) - God with Us!

Jehovah-Jireh (The Lord Will Provide) - Our Provider

Jehovah-Shalom (The Lord Is Peace) - Our Peace

El Roi (The God Who Sees) - God who sees ME!

Jehovah Ro'i (God the Shepherd) - Our Guide

Jehovah Nissi (The Lord, Our Banner) - Our Protector

Colossians 2:6-7 (MSG) …Now do what you've been taught. School's out; quit

studying the subject and start living it!...

Respond to what you know.

1 Corinthians 8:1 (NIV) We know that “We all possess knowledge.” But

knowledge puffs up while love builds up.

Colossians 2:6-7 (MSG)…And let your living spill over into thanksgiving.

React with an Attitude of Gratitude.

We SEEK God because we NEED God.

I Corinthians 4:12 The kingdom of God is not just talk, it is living by God’s power.

Zechariah 4:6 “Not by might, nor by power, but by my spirit,” says the Lord

Almighty.

There is MORE.

Ephesians 3:20-21 Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we

ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us, to him be glory in

the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, for ever and ever! Amen.

God is ABLE.

“Failure is not an option it is the only option. That is when God can

show up because when we fail its when we get to that point, our faith

can come in and God can do something great.”—Mark Batterson

2 Corinthians 9:8 God is ready to overwhelm you with more blessings than you

could ever imagine so that you’ll always be taken care of in every way and you’ll

have more than enough to share.

“There is nothing impossible with God. All the impossibility is with us when we

measure God by the limitations of our unbelief.”—Smith Wigglesworth

God is WILLING.

Matthew 7:7-11 “Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock

and the door will be opened to you. For everyone who asks receives; the one who

seeks finds; and to the one who knocks, the door will be opened. “Which of you, if

your son asks for bread, will give him a stone? Or if he asks for a fish, will give

him a snake? If you, then, though you are evil, know how to give good gifts to

your children, how much more will your Father in heaven give good gifts to those

who ask him!

God is WAITING.

Ephesians 4:1 As a prisoner for the Lord, then, I urge you to live a life worthy of

the calling you have received.

Hosea 10:12 (GNB) “Plough new ground for yourselves, plant righteousness, and

reap the blessings that your devotion to me will produce. It is time for you to turn

to me, your Lord, and I will come and pour out blessings upon you.”

“The opportunity of a lifetime must be seized within the lifetime of the

opportunity.”—Leonard Ravenhill

We will either SET the culture or REFLECT the culture.

Matthew 5:16 In the same way, let your light shine before others, that they may see

your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven.

John 17:15-16 My prayer is not that you take them out of the world but that you

protect them from the evil one. They are not of the world, even as I am not of it.

Satan’s Lie:

“I am all about YOU.”

“God is all about HIMSELF.”

Genesis 11:4 Then they said, “Come, let us build ourselves a city, with a tower that

reaches to the heavens, so that we may make a name for ourselves.”

Genesis 11:9 That is why it was called Babel—because there the LORD confused

the language of the whole world.

Revelation 17:5 The name written on her forehead was a mystery: BABYLON

THE GREAT. THE MOTHER OF PROSTITUTES AND OF THE

ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH.

Isaiah 47:8-10 “Now then, listen, you lover of pleasure, lounging in your security

and saying to yourself, ‘I am, and there is none besides me. I will never be a

widow or suffer the loss of children.’ Both of these will overtake you in a moment,

on a single day: loss of children and widowhood. They will come upon you in full

measure, in spite of your many sorceries and all your potent spells. You have

trusted in your wickedness and have said, ‘No one sees me.’ Your wisdom and

knowledge mislead you when you say to yourself, ‘I am, and there is none

besides me.’”

Babylon’s Motto: “I AM, and there is none besides ME.”

Elevates SELF.

 Self-ADORING.

 Self-BUILDING.

 Self-INDULGING.

Lowers GOD

 God doesn’t LOVE me.

 God isn’t FOR me.

 God wants TOO MUCH from me.

Daniel 4:4 I, Nebuchadnezzar, was at home in my palace, contented and

prosperous.

Daniel 4:22 Your Majesty, you are that tree! You have become great and strong;

your greatness has grown until it reaches the sky, and your dominion extends to

distant parts of the earth.

Daniel 4:25-26 You will be driven away from people and will live with the wild

animals; you will eat grass like the ox and be drenched with the dew of heaven.

Seven times will pass by for you until you acknowledge that the Most High is

sovereign over all kingdoms on earth and gives them to anyone he wishes. The

command to leave the stump of the tree with its roots means that your kingdom

will be restored to you when you acknowledge that Heaven rules.

Daniel 4:34-37 At the end of that time, I, Neb, raised my eyes toward heaven, and

my sanity was restored. Then I praised the Most High; I honored and glorified

him who lives forever. His dominion is an eternal dominion; his kingdom endures

from generation to generation. All the peoples of the earth are regarded as nothing.

He does as he pleases with the powers of heaven and the peoples of the earth. No

one can hold back his hand or say to him: “What have you done?” At the same

time that my sanity was restored, my honor and splendor were returned to me for

the glory of my kingdom. My advisers and nobles sought me out, and I was

restored to my throne and became even greater than before. Now I,

Nebuchadnezzar, praise and exalt and glorify the King of heaven, because

everything he does is right and all his ways are just. And those who walk in pride

he is able to humble.

I will EXALT God.

Psalm 145:1 I will exalt you, my God the King; I will praise your name for ever

and ever.

I will ACKNOWLEDGE God.

1 Corinthians 4:7 LB What are you so puffed up about? What do you have that

God hasn’t given you? And if all you have is from God, why act as though you

have accomplished something on your own?

I will HUMBLE myself.

James 4:10 Humble yourselves before the Lord, and He will lift you up.

STANDING STRONG in a pride-inflated culture begins FACEDOWN.

Galatians 5:6 The only thing that counts is faith is expressing itself through love.

We cannot ANTAGONIZE and INFLUENCE at the same time.

John 13:34-35 “A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved

you, so you must love one another. By this all men will know that you are my

disciples, if you love one another.”

I Corinthians 14:1 TLB Let love be your greatest aim.

 All I SAY is ineffective.

I Corinthians 13:1 If I speak in the tongues of men or of angels, but do not have

love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal.

Ephesians 4:15 NLT We will speak the truth in love, growing in every way more

and more like Christ…

Ephesians 4:29 Do not let any unwholesome talk come out of your mouths, but

only what is helpful for building others up according to their needs, that it may

benefit those who listen.

 All I KNOW is insignificant.

I Corinthians 13:2 If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and

all knowledge…

 All I BELIEVE is insufficient.

I Corinthians 13:2b …If I have faith that can move mountains, but do not have

love, I am nothing.

 All I GIVE is incomplete.

I Corinthians 13:3 If I give all I possess to the poor…

 All I ACCOMPLISH is inadequate.

I Corinthians 13:3 If I give over my body to hardship that I may boast, but do not

have love, I gain nothing.

Your LIFE minus LOVE= 0

I Corinthians 13:4-8 Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not

boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not

easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but

rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always

perseveres. Love never fails.

Daniel 6:1-5 It pleased Darius to appoint 120 satraps to rule throughout the

kingdom, with three administrators over them, one of whom was Daniel. The

satraps were made accountable to them so that the king might not suffer loss. Now

Daniel so distinguished himself among the administrators and the satraps by his

exceptional qualities that the king planned to set him over the whole kingdom. At

this, the administrators and the satraps tried to find grounds for charges against

Daniel in his conduct of government affairs, but they were unable to do so. They

could find no corruption in him, because he was trustworthy and neither corrupt

nor negligent. Finally these men said, “We will never find any basis for charges

against this man Daniel..”

SERVE them.

I Corinthians 9:19 Though I am free and belong to no one, I have made myself a

slave to everyone, to win as many as possible.

Jesus CONNECTED before He CORRECTED.

SET AN EXAMPLE for them.

Matthew 5:13-16 “You are the salt of the earth. But if the salt loses its saltiness,

how can it be made salty again? It is no longer good for anything, except to be

thrown out and trampled underfoot. “You are the light of the world. A town built

on a hill cannot be hidden. Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a bowl.

Instead they put it on its stand, and it gives light to everyone in the house. In the

same way, let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds

and glorify your Father in heaven.

The GREATEST INFLUENCE we can have on our world is how WE LIVE

our lives.

SHARE CHRIST with them.

I Peter 3:15-16 But in your hearts revere Christ as Lord. Always be prepared to

give an answer to everyone who asks you to give the reason for the hope that you

have. But do this with gentleness and respect, keeping a clear conscience, so that

those who speak maliciously against your good behavior in Christ may be ashamed

of their slander.

“Preach the Gospel, and IF NECESSARY, use words.” St. Francis of Assisi

How I ACT is more important than what I SAY.

Romans 5:8 But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still

sinners, Christ died for us.

Daniel 6:4 Then the other administrators and high officers began searching for

some fault in the way Daniel was handling government affairs, but they couldn’t

find anything to criticize or condemn. He was faithful, always responsible, and

completely trustworthy. So they concluded, “Our only chance of finding grounds

for accusing Daniel will be in connection with the rules of his religion.”

Daniel 6:16-22 So at last the king gave orders for Daniel to be arrested and thrown

into the den of lions. The king said to him, “May your God, whom you serve so

faithfully, rescue you.”A stone was brought and placed over the mouth of the den.

The king sealed the stone with his own royal seal and the seals of his nobles, so

that no one could rescue Daniel. Then the king returned to his palace and spent the

night fasting. He refused his usual entertainment and couldn’t sleep at all that

night. Very early the next morning, the king got up and hurried out to the lions’

den. When he got there, he called out in anguish, “Daniel, servant of the living

God! Was your God, whom you serve so faithfully, able to rescue you from the

lions?” Daniel answered, “Long live the king! My God sent his angel to shut the

lions’ mouths so that they would not hurt me, for I have been found innocent in his

sight. And I have not wronged you, Your Majesty.”

Daniel 6:23 The king was overjoyed and ordered that Daniel be lifted from the den.

Not a scratch was found on him, for he had trusted in his God.

How do we grow in consistency?

START WITH THE END IN MIND

Daniel 1:8 NKJV But Daniel purposed in his heart that he would not defile

himself….

EMBRACE THE PROCESS

Daniel 6:10 But when Daniel learned that the law had been signed, he went home

and knelt down as usual in his upstairs room, with its windows open toward

Jerusalem. He prayed three times a day, just as he had always done, giving

thanks to his God.

FOCUS ON PROGRESS NOT PERFECTION

Winston Churchill - “perfection is the enemy of progress.”

Philippians 3:12-13 Not that I have already obtained this or am already perfect, but

I press on to make it my own, because Christ Jesus has made me his own.

Brothers, I do not consider that I have made it my own. But one thing I do:

forgetting what lies behind and straining forward to what lies ahead..

I Corinthians 16:13-14 Be on your guard; stand firm in the faith; be courageous; be strong. Do everything in love.

Daniel 3:12 But there are some Jews whom you have set over the affairs of the province of Babylon—Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego—who pay no attention to you, Your Majesty. They neither serve your gods nor worship the image of gold you have set up.”

Daniel 3:13-14 Furious with rage, Nebuchadnezzar summoned Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego. So these men were brought before the king, and Nebuchadnezzar said to them, “Is it true, Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego, that you do not serve my gods or worship the image of gold I have set up?

 Standing firm TAKES COURAGE.

Daniel 3:16 Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego replied, “O Nebuchadnezzar, we are not worried about what will happen to us.” Courage isn’t the ABSENCE of fear. Courage is standing firm IN SPITE of my fear.

 Standing firm REQUIRES FAITH.

Daniel 3:17-18 TLB “If we are thrown into the flaming furnace, our God is able to deliver us; and he will deliver us out of your hand, Your Majesty. But if he doesn’t, please understand, sir, that even then we will never under any circumstance serve your gods or worship the gold statue you have erected.”

If we don’t stand FOR SOMETHING, we will fall FOR ANYTHING.

Daniel 3:26-27 Nebuchadnezzar then approached the opening of the blazing furnace and shouted, “Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego, servants of the Most High God, come out! Come here!” So Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego came out of the fire, and the satraps, prefects, governors and royal advisers crowded around them. They saw that the fire had not harmed their bodies, nor was a hair of their heads singed; their robes were not scorched, and there was no smell of fire on

them.

 Standing firm INSPIRES OTHERS.

Daniel 3:28-30 Then Nebuchadnezzar said, “Praise be to the God of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, who has sent his angel and rescued his servants! They trusted in him and defied the king’s command and were willing to give up their lives rather than serve or worship any god except their own God. Therefore I decree that the people of any nation or language who say anything against the God of Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego be cut into pieces and their houses be turned into piles of rubble, for no other god can save in this way.” Then the king promoted Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego in the province of Babylon.

We are called to be a VOICE not an ECHO.

Stand in PRAYER.

Ephesians 6:11 Put on the full armor of God, so that you can take your stand against the devil’s schemes.

Ephesians 6:13-14a Therefore put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done

everything, to stand. Stand firm then…

Stand for MY PURPOSE.

I Corinthians 15:58 Therefore, my dear brothers and sisters, stand firm. Let nothing move you. Always give yourselves fully to the work of the Lord, because you know that your labor in the Lord is not in vain.

Stand for GOD.

Matthew 10:32 MESS “Stand up for me against world opinion and I’ll stand up for you before my Father in heaven.”

Colossians 3:1 …where Christ is, seated at the right hand of God.

Acts 7:55-56 But Stephen, full of the Holy Spirit, looked up to heaven and saw the glory of God, and Jesus standing at the right hand of God. “Look,” he said, “I see heaven open and the Son of Man standing at the right hand of God.”

So how do you live out your faith when culture shifts?

Daniel 1:7 The chief official gave them new names: to Daniel, the name

Belteshazzar; to Hananiah, Shadrach; to Mishael, Meshach; and to Azariah,

Abednego.

Culture wants to CHANGE your IDENTITY.

DANIEL-“God is my judge”

Belteshazzar- “Lady, protect the King”

HANANIAH- “Yahweh has been gracious”

Shadrach- “I am fearful of God”

MISHAEL- “Who is what God is?”

Meshach- “I am despised, contemptible and humiliated.”

AZARIAH- “Yahweh has helped”

Abednego- “Servant of Nebo”

When culture shifts, you have to know WHO YOU ARE.

Daniel 1:8 But Daniel resolved not to defile himself with the royal food and wine,

and he asked the chief official for permission not to defile himself this way.

Culture wants you to COMPROMISE your STANDARDS.

When culture shifts, we must REAFFIRM our CONVICTIONS.

Daniel 1:9-10 Now God had caused the official to show favor and compassion to

Daniel, but the official told Daniel, “I am afraid of my lord the king, who has

assigned your food and drink. Why should he see you looking worse than the other

young men your age? The king would then have my head because of you.”

Daniel 1:11-14 Daniel then said to the guard whom the chief official had appointed

over Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael and Azariah, “Please test your servants for ten

days: Give us nothing but vegetables to eat and water to drink. Then compare our

appearance with that of the young men who eat the royal food, and treat your

servants in accordance with what you see.” So he agreed to this and tested them

for ten days.

Culture will always CREATE a CONFRONTATION.

When culture shifts, we must respond the RIGHT WAY.

John 1:14 The Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us. We have seen

his glory, the glory of the one and only Son, who came from the Father, full of

grace and truth.

TRUTH: God’s standard.

John 17:17 Sanctify them by the truth; your word is truth.

GRACE: God’s favor.

Ephesians 2:8-9 NLT God saved you by his grace when you believed. And you

can’t take credit for this; it is a gift from God. Salvation is not a reward for the

good things we have done, so none of us can boast about it.

Without truth, we are CORRUPT.

Without grace, we are all CONDEMNED.

Without truth, we become WORLDLY.

Without grace, we would become JUDGMENTAL.

Truth without grace is MEAN.

Grace without truth is MEANINGLESS.

Truth and grace is good MEDICINE.

Grace INVITES us to be free.

Truth SETS us free.

John 8:3-11 NLT As he was speaking, the teachers of religious law and the

Pharisees brought a woman who had been caught in the act of adultery. They put

her in front of the crowd. “Teacher,” they said to Jesus, “this woman was caught in

the act of adultery. The law of Moses says to stone her. What do you say?” They

were trying to trap him into saying something they could use against him, but Jesus

stooped down and wrote in the dust with his finger. They kept demanding an

answer, so he stood up again and said, “All right, but let the one who has never

sinned throw the first stone!” Then he stooped down again and wrote in the

dust. When the accusers heard this, they slipped away one by one, beginning with

the oldest, until only Jesus was left in the middle of the crowd with the

woman. Then Jesus stood up again and said to the woman, “Where are your

accusers? Didn’t even one of them condemn you?” “No, Lord,” she said. And Jesus

said, “Neither do I. Go and sin no more.”

If the tomb is EMPTY then ANYTHING is POSSIBLE.

Luke 24:1-7 On the first day of the week, very early in the morning, the women

took the spices they had prepared and went to the tomb. They found the stone

rolled away from the tomb, but when they entered, they did not find the body of

the Lord Jesus. While they were wondering about this, suddenly two men in

clothes that gleamed like lightning stood beside them. In their fright the women

bowed down with their faces to the ground, but the men said to them, “Why do

you look for the living among the dead? He is not here; he has risen! Remember

how he told you, while he was still with you in Galilee: ‘The Son of Man must be

delivered over to the hands of sinners, be crucified and on the third day be raised

again.’”

Luke 9:22 And he said, “The Son of Man must suffer many things and be rejected

by the elders, the chief priests and the teachers of the law, and he must be

killed and on the third day be raised to life.”

Luke 9:44 “Listen carefully to what I am about to tell you: The Son of Man is

going to be delivered into the hands of men.”

Luke 18:31-33 Jesus took the Twelve aside and told them, “We are going up to

Jerusalem, and everything that is written by the prophets about the Son of Man will

be fulfilled. He will be delivered over to the Gentiles. They will mock him, insult

him and spit on him; they will flog him and kill him. On the third day he will rise

again.”

Luke 24:9-11 When they came back from the tomb, they told all these things to the

Eleven and to all the others. It was Mary Magdalene, Joanna, Mary the mother of

James, and the others with them who told this to the apostles. But they did not

believe the women, because their words seemed to them like nonsense.

Luke 24:25 He said to them, “How foolish you are, and how slow to believe all

that the prophets have spoken!

Luke 24:26 Did not the Messiah have to suffer these things and then enter his

glory?”

God is JUST, so payment for sin had to be MADE, but God is LOVE, so He

made that payment HIMSELF.

Romans 8:11 And if the Spirit of him who raised Jesus from the dead is living in

you, he who raised Christ from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies

because of his Spirit who lives in you.

Easter is not just something you can CELEBRATE, but Easter is something

you can EXPERIENCE.

James 2:14 - 17 NLT What good is it, dear brothers and sisters, if you say you have

faith but don’t show it by your actions? Can that kind of faith save anyone?

Suppose you see a brother or sister who has no food or clothing, and you say,

“Good-bye and have a good day; stay warm and eat well”—but then you don’t

give that person any food or clothing. What good does that do? So you see, faith by

itself isn’t enough. Unless it produces good deeds, it is dead and useless.

1 Corinthians 9:19-23 MSG Even though I am free of the demands and

expectations of everyone, I have voluntarily become a servant to any and all in

order to reach a wide range of people: religious, nonreligious, meticulous

moralists, loose-living immoralists, the defeated, the demoralized—whoever. I

didn’t take on their way of life. I kept my bearings in Christ—but I entered their

world and tried to experience things from their point of view. I’ve become just

about every sort of servant there is in my attempts to lead those I meet into a God-

saved life. I did all this because of the Message. I didn’t just want to talk about it; I

wanted to be in on it!

Value PEOPLE.

1 Corinthians 9:19-23…..I have voluntarily become a servant to any and all in

order to reach a wide range of people: religious, nonreligious, meticulous

moralists, loose-living immoralists, the defeated, the demoralized—whoever.

You don’t have to be LIKE them to be LIGHT to them.

1 Corinthians 9:19-23…..I didn’t take on their way of life. I kept my bearings in

Christ….

1 Peter 3:15 … Always be prepared to give an answer to everyone who asks you to

give the reason for the hope that you have…

See from a DIFFERENT perspective

1 Corinthians 9:19-23….but I entered their world and tried to experience things

from their point of view….

1 Corinthians 9:19-23 ….I’ve become just about every sort of servant there is in

my attempts to lead those I meet into a God-saved life….

Never forget WHY

1 Corinthians 9:19-23 …. I did all this because of the Message. I didn’t just want

to talk about it; I wanted to be in on it!

Romans 10:13-15 NLT For “Everyone who calls on the name of the LORD will be

saved. “But how can they call on him to save them unless they believe in him? And

how can they believe in him if they have never heard about him? And how can they

hear about him unless someone tells them? And how will anyone go and tell them

without being sent? That is why the Scriptures say, “How beautiful are the feet of

messengers who bring good news!”

2 Corinthians 13:14 Message “The amazing grace of the Master, Jesus Christ, the

extravagant love of God, the intimate friendship of the Holy Spirit, be with all of

you.”

3 GIFTS IN SCRIPTURE

 ETERNAL LIFE.

Romans 6:23 For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in

Christ Jesus our Lord.

 The HOLY SPIRIT.

Acts 1:4-5 “Do not leave Jerusalem, but wait for the gift my Father promised,

which you have heard me speak about. For John baptized with water, but in a few

days you will be baptized with the Holy Spirit.”

 SPIRITUAL gifts.

Romans 12:6 We have different gifts, according to the grace given us.

1 Corinthians 12:1 Now about spiritual gifts, brothers, I do not want you to be

ignorant.

1 Corinthians 12:11 All these are the work of one and the same Spirit, and he gives

them to each one, just as he determines.

1 Corinthians 14:23-25 So if the whole church comes together and everyone

speaks in tongues, and some who do not understand or some unbelievers come in,

will they not say that you are out of your mind?

Gifts From A Friend

1 Corinthians 14:1 Follow the way of love and eagerly desire spiritual gifts…

His gifts are UNIQUE.

1 Corinthians 12:4-6 There are different kinds of gifts, but the same Spirit. There

are different kinds of service, but the same Lord. There are different kinds of

working, but the same God works all of them in all men.

His gifts are NEEDED.

1 Corinthians 12:27 NLT Now all of you together are Christ’s body, and each one

of you is a separate and necessary part of it.

His gifts are FULFILLING.

John 15:8, 11 This is to my Father’s glory, that you bear much fruit, showing

yourselves to be my disciples. I have told you this so that my joy may be in you

and that your joy may be complete.

His gifts touch OTHER PEOPLE’S lives.

1 Peter 4:10 NLT God has given gifts to each of you from his great variety of

spiritual gifts. Manage them well so that God's generosity can flow through you.”

A spiritual gift is a SPECIAL SUPERNATURAL ABILITY that God gives to

each of His children, so that together they can ADVANCE HIS PURPOSES in

this world.

2 Corinthians 13:14 (MESS) The amazing grace of the Master, Jesus Christ, the

extravagant love of God, the intimate friendship of the Holy Spirit, be with all of

you.

Luke 3:16-17 John answered them all, “I baptize you with water. But one more

powerful than I will come, the thongs of whose sandals I am not worthy to untie.

He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and with fire.”

Ephesians 4:22-30 You were taught, with regard to your former way of life, to put

off your old self, which is being corrupted by its deceitful desires; to be made new

in the attitude of your minds; and to put on the new self, created to be like God in

true righteousness and holiness. Therefore each of you must put off falsehood and

speak truthfully to his neighbor, for we are all members of one body. “In your

anger do not sin”: Do not let the sun go down while you are still angry, and do not

give the devil a foothold. He who has been stealing must steal no longer, but must

work, doing something useful with his own hands, that he may have something to

share with those in need. Do not let any unwholesome talk come out of your

mouths, but only what is helpful for building others up according to their needs,

that it may benefit those who listen. And do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God.

1 Thessalonians 5:19, 23 Do not put out the Spirit’s fire…May God himself, the

God of peace, sanctify you through and through. May your whole spirit, soul and

body be kept blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.

Our spirit is drawn to IDOLATRY.

Matthew 6:24 No one can serve two masters. Either he will hate the one and love

the other, or he will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve

both God and Money.

Our soul is drawn to PRIDE.

Galatians 5:22-23 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness,

goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control.

Our body is drawn to LUST.

1 Corinthians 6:19-20 Do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy

Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God? You are not your own;

you were bought at a price. Therefore honor God with your body.

Ezekiel 36:26-27 I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit in you; I will

remove from you your heart of stone and give you a heart of flesh. And I will put

my Spirit in you and move you to follow my decrees and be careful to keep my

laws.

Invite the Holy Spirit to SHOW ME.

Psalm 139:23-24 Search me, O God, and know my heart; test me and know my

anxious thoughts. See if there is any offensive way in me, and lead me in the way

everlasting.

John 16:8 When he comes, he will convict the world of guilt in regard to sin and

righteousness and judgment:

Invite the Holy Spirit to CHANGE ME.

Psalm 51:10-11 Create in me a pure heart, O God, and renew a steadfast spirit

within me. Do not cast me from your presence or take your Holy Spirit from me.

Romans 8:5-6 Those who live according to the sinful nature have their minds set

on what that nature desires; but those who live in accordance with the Spirit have

their minds set on what the Spirit desires. The mind of sinful man is death, but the

mind controlled by the Spirit is life and peace.

Galatians 5:14, 25 So I say, live by the Spirit, and you will not gratify the desires

of the sinful nature…Since we live by the Spirit, let us keep in step with the Spirit.

Invite the Holy Spirit to FILL ME.

Ephesians 5:18 Do not get drunk on wine, which leads to debauchery. Instead, be

filled with the Spirit.

One of the main purposes of the Holy Spirit is to put

RUWACH – a wind, breath, a violent exhalation, blast of breath.

Genesis 1:2 Now the earth was formless and empty, darkness was over the surface

of the deep, and the Spirit of God was hovering over the waters.

PNEUMA – a current of air, blast of breath, a strong breeze.

John 6:63 The words I have spoken to you are spirit and they are life.

 Wind is UNSEEN.

John 14:17 The world cannot accept him, because it neither sees him nor knows

him. But you know him, for he lives with you and will be in you.

 Wind is UNPREDICTABLE.

John 3:8 Jesus answered…“The wind blows wherever it pleases. You hear its

sound, but you cannot tell where it comes from or where it is going. So it is with

everyone born of the Spirit."

 Wind is POWERFUL.

Acts 1:8 And you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you.

“But as I turned and was about to take a seat by the fire, I received a mighty

baptism of the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit descended upon me in a manner that

seemed to go through me, body and soul. I could feel the impression like a wave

of electricity, going through and through me. Indeed it seemed to come in waves

and waves of liquid love; for I could not express it in any other way. It seemed like

the very breath of God.” –Charles Finney

 Wind is REFRESHING.

2 Corinthians 3:17-18 For the Lord is the Spirit, and wherever the Spirit of the

Lord is, there is freedom…And the Lord—who is the Spirit—makes us more and

more like him as we are changed into his image.

John 20:22 And with that he breathed on them and said, “Receive the Holy

Spirit.”

Acts 1:4-5 On one occasion, while he was eating with them, he gave them this

command: “Do not leave Jerusalem, but wait for the gift my Father promised,

which you have heard me speak about. For John baptized with water, but in a few

days you will be baptized with the Holy Spirit.”

Acts 2:12-16 Amazed and perplexed, they asked one another, “What does this

mean?” Some, however, made fun of them and said, “They have had too much

wine.” Then Peter stood up with the Eleven, raised his voice and addressed the

crowd: “Fellow Jews and all of you who live in Jerusalem, let me explain this to

you; listen carefully to what I say. These people are not drunk, as you suppose. It’s

only nine in the morning! No, this is what was spoken by the prophet Joel:

Acts 2:38-39 Peter replied, “Repent and be baptized, every one of you, in the

name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins. And you will receive the gift

of the Holy Spirit. The promise is for you and your children and for all who are

far off—for all whom the Lord our God will call.”

Let go of your FEARS and MISCONCEPTIONS.

James 1:17 Every good and perfect gift is from above, coming down from the

Father of the heavenly lights, who does not change like shifting shadows.

ASK GOD to give me ALL that HE HAS for me.

Ezekiel 47:3-5 As the man went eastward with a measuring line in his hand, he

measured off a thousand cubits and then led me through water that was ankle-

deep. He measured off another thousand cubits and led me through water that was

knee-deep. He measured off another thousand and led me through water that was

up to the waist. He measured off another thousand, but now it was a river that I

could not cross, because the water had risen and was deep enough to swim in—a

river that no one could cross.

Ezekiel 47:9 Swarms of living creatures will live wherever the river flows. There

will be large numbers of fish, because this water flows there and makes the salt

water fresh; so where the river flows everything will live.

Pursue an INTIMATE FRIENDSHIP with the Holy Spirit.

2 Corinthians 13:14 May the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God,

and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit be with you all.

Acts 19:1-2 While Apollos was at Corinth, Paul took the road through the interior and arrived at Ephesus. There he found some disciples and asked them, “Did you receive the Holy Spirit when you believed?” They answered, “No, we have not even heard that there is a Holy Spirit.”

He is A HIM.

John 14:17 “…the Spirit of truth. The world cannot accept him, because it neither sees him nor knows him. But you know him, for he lives with you and will be in you.”

He is NOT WEIRD.

John 16:7 “But I tell you the truth: It is for your good that I am going away. Unless I go away, the Counselor will not come to you; but if I go, I will send him to you.”

He is GOD.

He will REVEAL THE BIBLE to me.

Then Zadok’s son Ahimaaz said, “Let me run to the king with the good news that the LORD has rescued him from his enemies.” 2 Samuel 18:19 NLT
BIG IDEA: Running before we're ready can get us sidelined, not celebrated.
God wants to release us for His purposes after He’s prepared us, not because we press Him.
Immaturity confuses willingness to be used by God with readiness to be used by God.
Your ability isn’t the determiner of your usefulness, your character is.
Core exercises:
Get into a healthy relational dynamic for spiritual growth.
Be submitted to the perspective of healthy leaders
Do whatever you are entrusted with like it’s your test run.

Ephesians 6:18 GW Pray in the Spirit in every situation. Use every kind of prayer

and request there is.

1 Chronicles 4:9-10 Jabez was more honorable than his brothers. His mother had

named him Jabez, saying, “I gave birth to him in pain.” Jabez cried out to the God

of Israel, “Oh, that you would bless me and enlarge my territory! Let your hand

your people from all the other people on the face of the earth?” And the Lord said

to Moses, “I will do the very thing you have asked,

2 Corinthians 3:5-6 NIV Not that we are competent in ourselves to claim anything

Your DAMAGE does not DEFINE you.

God put HIMSELF within YOU.

Romans 8:11 NIV And if the Spirit of him who raised Jesus from the dead is living in you, he who raised Christ from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies because of his Spirit who lives in you.

Your DAMAGE does NOT define you. JESUS defines you!

THE LIE: The more BROKEN you are, the less VALUABLE you are.

2 Corinthians 10:5 NIV We demolish arguments and every pretension that sets itself up against the knowledge of God, and we take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ.

THE TRUTH: Your VALUE remains despite your PAIN!

Psalm 147:3

He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds.

2 Samuel 9:1-4 NLV Then David said, “Is there anyone left of the family of Saul, to whom I may show kindness because of Jonathan?” 2 Now there was a servant in Saul’s house whose name was Ziba. They called him to David, and the king said to him, “Are you Ziba?” And he said, “I am your servant.” 3 The king said, “Is there not still someone of the family of Saul to whom I may show the kindness of God?” And Ziba said to the king, “There is still a son of Jonathan who cannot walk because of his feet.” 4 So the king said to him, “Where is he?” Ziba answered the king, “See, he is in the family of Machir the son of Ammiel in Lo-debar.” 5 Then King David sent men to bring him from the family of Machir the son of Ammiel, from Lo-debar.

You can’t allow your ISSUE to become your IDENTITY.

2 Samuel 4:4 GNT Another descendant of Saul was Jonathan's son Mephibosheth, who was five years old when Saul and Jonathan were killed. When the news about their death came from the city of Jezreel, his nurse picked him up and fled; but she was in such a hurry that she dropped him, and he became crippled.

It’s OKAY to not be okay, but it’s not okay to STAY that way.

ADMIT you’re damaged.
God does His BEST work with DAMAGED people!
God wants to use your DAMAGE to REDEFINE your DESTINY!

2 Samuel 9:5-7 NLV 5 Then King David sent men to bring him from the family of Machir the son of Ammiel, from Lo-debar. 6 Mephibosheth the son of Saul’s son Jonathan came to David and fell on his face to the ground in respect. David said, “Mephibosheth.” And he answered, “Here is your servant!” 7 David said to him, “Do not be afraid. For I will be sure to show kindness to you because of your father Jonathan. I will return to you all the land of your grandfather Saul. And you will eat at my table always.”

Isaiah 41:9-10 NIV 9 I took you from the ends of the earth, from its farthest corners I called you. I said, ‘You are my servant’; I have chosen you and have not rejected you. 10 So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.

Luke 2:1-20 In those days Caesar Augustus issued a decree that a census should be taken of the entire Roman world. 2 (This was the first census that took place while[a] Quirinius was governor of Syria.)3 And everyone went to their own town to register. 4 So Joseph also went up from the town of Nazareth in Galilee to Judea, to Bethlehem the town of David, because he belonged to the house and line of David. 5 He went there to register with Mary, who was pledged to be married to him and was expecting a child.6 While they were there, the time came for the baby to be born,7 and she gave birth to her firstborn, a son. She wrapped him in cloths and placed him in a manger, because there was no guest room available for them. 8 And there were shepherds living out in the fields nearby, keeping watch over their flocks at night. 9 An angel of the Lord appeared to them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were terrified. 10 But the angel said to them, “Do not be afraid. I bring you good news that will cause great joy for all the people. 11 Today in the town of David a Savior has been born to you; he is the Messiah, the Lord. 12 This will be a sign to you: You will find a baby wrapped in cloths and lying in a manger.” 13 Suddenly a great company of the heavenly host appeared with the angel, praising God and saying, 14 “Glory to God in the highest heaven, and on earth peace to those on whom his favor rests.” 15 When the angels had left them and gone into heaven, the shepherds said to one another, “Let’s go to Bethlehem and see this thing that has happened, which the Lord has told us about.” 16 So they hurried off and found Mary and Joseph, and the baby, who was lying in the manger. 17 When they had seen him, they spread the word concerning what had been told them about this child, 18 and all who heard it were amazed at what the shepherds said to them. 19 But Mary treasured up all these things and pondered them in her heart. 20 The shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God for all the things they had had been told.

The Manger

John 6:35 Then Jesus declared, “I am the bread of life. Whoever comes to me will never go hungry, and whoever believes in me will never be thirsty.

Luke 22:19 And he took bread, gave thanks and broke it, and gave it to them, saying, “This is my body given for you; do this in remembrance of me.”

The Stable

Proverbs 8:17-21 I love those who love me, and those who seek me find me. With me are riches and honor, enduring wealth and prosperity.My fruit is better than fine gold; what I yield surpasses choice silver.I walk in the way of righteousness, along the paths of justice, bestowing a rich inheritance on those who love me and making their treasuries full.

Pics of letters from kids

Luke 2:25-26 At that time there was a man in Jerusalem named Simeon. He

was righteous and devout and was eagerly waiting for the Messiah to come

and rescue Israel. The Holy Spirit was upon him and had revealed to him that

he would not die until he had seen the Lord’s Messiah.

Prioritize your PARTNERSHIP with God.

Successful people do CONSISTENTLY what other people do

OCCASIONALLY.

Slow down to the PACE of GRACE.

Luke 2:27-33 That day the Spirit led him to the Temple. So when Mary and

Joseph came to present the baby Jesus to the Lord as the law

required, Simeon was there. He took the child in his arms and praised God,

saying, “Sovereign Lord, now let your servant die in peace, as you have

promised. I have seen your salvation, which you have prepared for all

people. He is a light to reveal God to the nations, and he is the glory of your

people Israel!” Jesus’ parents were amazed at what was being said about

him.

Share your GREATEST MIRACLE.

Luke 2:34 Then Simeon blessed them, and he said to Mary, the baby’s

mother, “This child is destined to cause many in Israel to fall, and many

others to rise. He has been sent as a sign from God, but many will oppose

him.

“To be plainly instructed and consider well that the main end of your life and

studies is to know God and Jesus Christ.”

“Truth for Christ and the church.”

LEGACY: Where my life LIVES on.

What will you do that OUTLIVES you?

Matthew 9:9 As Jesus went on from there, he saw a man named Matthew sitting at

the tax collector’s booth. “Follow me,” he told him, and Matthew got up and

followed him.

Matthew 9:10-13 While Jesus was having dinner at Matthew’s house, many tax

collectors and sinners came and ate with him and his disciples. When the Pharisees

saw this, they asked his disciples, “Why does your teacher eat with tax collectors

and sinners?” On hearing this, Jesus said, “It is not the healthy who need a doctor,

but the sick. But go and learn what this means: ‘I desire mercy, not sacrifice.’ For I

have not come to call the righteous, but sinners.”

Matthew 9:13a But go and learn what this means: ‘I desire mercy, not sacrifice.’

Matthew 9:13b For I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners.”

Matthew 28:16-20 Then the eleven disciples went to Galilee, to the mountain

where Jesus had told them to go. When they saw him, they worshiped him; but

some doubted. Then Jesus came to them and said, “All authority in heaven and on

earth has been given to me. Therefore go and make disciples of all nations,

baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and

teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with

you always, to the very end of the age.”

We want to make it hard for people to go to hell by making it easy for them to

go to church so they can experience, know and follow Jesus.

Matthew 22:36-39 “Teacher, which is the greatest commandment in the Law?”

Jesus replied: “‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul

and with all your mind.’ This is the first and greatest commandment. And the

second is like it: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’

I will intentionally GIVE what I have.

2 Corinthians 9:11 You will be made rich in every way so that you can be generous

on every occasion, and through us your generosity will result in thanksgiving to

God.

Become a PERCENTAGE giver.

I will intentionally SERVE others.

Matthew 20:26-28 Whoever wants to become great among you must be your

servant, and whoever wants to be first must be your slave—just as the Son of Man

did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many.”

People that are LEFT to themselves will make LIFE about themselves.

I will intentionally SHARE Christ.

2 Corinthians 5:20 NLT We are Christ’s ambassadors; God is making his appeal

through us.

Luke 14:23 LB Go out into the country...and urge anyone you find to come in, so

that My house will be full.

John 4:27-35 Just then his disciples returned and were surprised to find him talking with a woman. But no one asked, “What do you want?” or “Why are you talking with her?” Then, leaving her water jar, the woman went back to the town and said to the people,“Come, see a man who told me everything I ever did. Could this be the Messiah?”They came out of the town and made their way toward him. Meanwhile his disciples urged him, “Rabbi, eat something.” But he said to them, “I have food to eat that you know nothing about.” Then his disciples said to each other, “Could someone have brought him food?” “My food,” said Jesus, “is to do the will of him who sent me and to finish his work. Don’t you have a saying, ‘It’s still four months until harvest’? I tell you, open your eyes and look at the fields! They are ripe for harvest.

Luke 19:10 For the Son of Man came to seek and to save the lost.

Open our eyes to WHERE they are.
Open your eyes to WHO they are.
Open our eyes to what they NEED.

John 1:14 The Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us. We have seen his glory, the glory of the one and only Son, who came from the Father, full of grace and truth.

Romans 14:1-2 Accept the one whose faith is weak, without quarreling over disputable matters. One person’s faith allows them to eat anything, but another, whose faith is weak, eats only vegetables.

Romans 14:7-9 For none of us lives for ourselves alone, and none of us dies for ourselves alone. If we live, we live for the Lord; and if we die, we die for the Lord. So, whether we live or die, we belong to the Lord. For this very reason, Christ died and returned to life so that he might be the Lord of both the dead and the living.

Legacy: the IMPACT or impression you leave BEHIND.

If you died TODAY, what would your legacy be? What does GOD desire my LEGACY to be?

1 Corinthians 6:20 you were bought at a price. Therefore, honor God with your bodies.

Romans 14:7 For none of us lives for ourselves alone, and none of us dies for ourselves alone.

How To Live A Legacy Life

1. I didn’t LIVE for MYSELF.

Philippians 2:3 Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit. Rather, in humility value others above yourselves.

1 Corinthians 10:24 No one should seek their own good, but the good of others.

Your significance THRIVES when your selfishness DIES.

“You make a living by what you get. You make a life by what you give.”—Winston Churchill

Romans14:8 If we live, we live for the Lord; and if we die, we die for the Lord. So, whether we live or die, we belong to the Lord.

2. I LIVED for the LORD.

The primary title the first apostles self-identified as was “servant.”

Romans 1:1 Paul, a servant of Christ Jesus

Titus 1 Paul, a servant of God

James 1:1 James, a servant of God and of the Lord Jesus Christ

2 Peter 1:1 Simon Peter, a servant and apostle of Jesus Christ

Jude 1:1 Jude, a servant of Jesus Christ and a brother of JamesRevelation 1:1 He made it known by sending his angel to his servant John

Servant- (BOND SERVANT) – one bound to service without WAGES

God isn’t a GENIE that gives me what I WANT.

He is my LORD, and I give HIM what He wants.

Romans 14:8 If we live, we live for the Lord; and if we die, we die for the Lord. So, whether we live or die, we belong to the Lord.

3. I DIED for the Lord.

Hebrews 9:27 …people are destined to die once, and after that to face judgment…

Revelation 12:11 “They triumphed over him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony; they did not love their lives so much as to shrink from death.”

2 Timothy 7:7-8 I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith. Now there is in store for me the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous Judge, will award to me on that day

Success isn’t determined by what PEOPLE said on EARTH, it’s determined by what GOD says when you enter ETERNITY.

Matthew 6:33-34 But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well. Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.

Matthew 6:33 But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well.

John 15:1-5 “I am the true vine, and my Father is the gardener. He cuts off every branch in me that bears no fruit, while every branch that does bear fruit he prunes so that it will be even more fruitful.You are already clean because of the word I have spoken to you.Remain in me, as I also remain in you. No branch can bear fruit by itself; it must remain in the vine. Neither can you bear fruit unless you remain in me. “I am the vine; you are the branches. If you remain in me and I in you, you will bear much fruit; apart from me you can do nothing.

REMAIN: to continue in

Your potential is in your patterns.

· Remain in Prayer.

Philippians 4:6-7 Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.

· Remain in His word.

Psalm 119:105 Your word is a lamp for my feet, a light on my path.

· Remain in worship.

1. You have to fall in love with faithfulness not fruitfulness.

The real reward isn’t the fruit, it is the vine.

John 15:5 “I am the vine; you are the branches. If you remain in me and I in you, you will bear much fruit;

2. We don’t understand the season.

Mark 4:35-41 NLT

Jesus Calms the Storm

35 As evening came, Jesus said to his disciples, “Let’s cross to the other side of the lake.” 36 So they took Jesus in the boat and started out, leaving the crowds behind (although other boats followed). 37 But soon a fierce storm came up. High waves were breaking into the boat, and it began to fill with water. 38 Jesus was sleeping at the back of the boat with his head on a cushion. The disciples woke him up, shouting, “Teacher, don’t you care that we’re going to drown?” 39 When Jesus woke up, he rebuked the wind and said to the waves, “Silence! Be still!” Suddenly the wind stopped, and there was a great calm. 40 Then he asked them, “Why are you afraid? Do you still have no faith?”

V 41 (ESV) And they were filled with great fear and said to one another, “Who then is this, that even the wind and the sea obey him?”

When we are afraid:

We question who God is

v. 38 “Teacher, don’t you care…..”

John 5: 1-15

1 After this there was a feast of the Jews, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem.

2 Now there is in Jerusalem by the Sheep Gate a pool, in Aramaic called Bethesda, which has

five roofed colonnades.

3 In these lay a multitude of invalids—blind, lame, and paralyzed.

5 One man was there who had been an invalid for thirty-eight years.

6 When Jesus saw him lying there and knew that he had already been there a long time, he said

to him, “Do you want to be healed?”

7 The sick man answered him, “Sir, I have no one to put me into the pool when the water is

stirred up, and while I am going another steps down before me.”

8 Jesus said to him, “Get up, take up your bed, and walk.”

9 And at once the man was healed, and he took up his bed and walked. Now that day was the

Sabbath.

10 So the Jews said to the man who had been healed, “It is the Sabbath, and it is not lawful for

you to take up your bed.”

11 But he answered them, “The man who healed me, that man said to me, ‘Take up your bed,

and walk.’”

12 They asked him, “Who is the man who said to you, ‘Take up your bed and walk’?”

13 Now the man who had been healed did not know who it was, for Jesus had withdrawn, as

there was a crowd in the place.

14 Afterward Jesus found him in the temple and said to him, “See, you are well! Sin no more,

that nothing worse may happen to you.”

15 The man went away and told the Jews that it was Jesus who had healed him.

G.O.A.T.—acronym for the GREATEST of all TIME

John 14:6 Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.”

CONSIDER JESUS

1. Consider the IMPACT of Jesus.

Mark 2:16-17 When the teachers of the law who were Pharisees saw [Jesus] eating with the sinners and tax collectors, they asked his disciples: “Why does he eat with tax collectors and sinners?” On hearing this, Jesus said to them, “It is not the healthy who need a doctor, but the sick. I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners.”

2. Consider the RESURRECTION of Jesus.

Acts 3:15 “You killed the author of life, but God raised him from the dead. We are witnesses of this.”

3. Consider the MESSAGE of Jesus.

Romans 3:22 NLT We are made right with God by placing our faith in Jesus Christ. And this is true for everyone who believes, no matter who we are.

Making EVERY season WORK.

Ecclesiastes 3:1 AMP There is a season (a time appointed) for everything and a time for every delight and event or purpose under heaven—

SINGLENESS

I Corinthians 7:7 But I wish everyone were single, just as I am. Yet each person has a special gift from God, of one kind or another.

1. TRUST God's guidance.

Psalm 31:14-15a But I am trusting you, O Lord, saying, “You are my God!”My future is in your hands.

2. SEEK God wholeheartedly

Hebrews 11:6 And it is impossible to please God without faith. Anyone who wants to come to him must believe that God exists and that he rewards those who sincerely seek him.

3. Make an IMPACT for God.

DATING

1. WHAT am I looking for?

Don’t date someone based on their POTENTIAL. Date based on PATTERNS.

2. WHY are we dating?

Proverbs 4:23 Guard your heart above all else, for it determines the course of your life.

3. HOW should I date?

MARRIAGE

Genesis 2:24 This explains why a man leaves his father and mother and is joined to his wife, and the two are united into one.

1. INVEST IN your marriage.

2. GUARD your marriage.

Hebrews 13:4 AMP Marriage is to be held in honor among all [that is, regarded as something of great value], and the marriage bed undefiled [by immorality or by any sexual sin]; for God will judge the sexually immoral and adulterous.

Romans 12:12 Rejoice in our confident hope. Be patient in trouble, and keep on praying.

3. Embrace TRANSFORMATION in your marriage.

If you don’t DEFINE your parenting PRIORITIES, the world will.

The goal of parenting isn't to raise GREAT KIDS, but to raise

RESPONSIBLE ADULTS.

I Corinthians 16:13-14 Be on your guard; stand firm in the faith; be courageous; be

strong. Do everything in love.

Build HEALTHY BOUNDARIES.

I Corinthians 16:13 Be on your guard

Psalm 101:3 WEB I will set no vile thing before my eyes. I hate the deeds of

faithless men. They will not cling to me

I Corinthians 15:33 ESV Do not be deceived: “Bad company ruins good morals.”

Proverbs 13:20 Walk with the wise and become wise; associate with fools and get

in trouble.

Be a THERMOSTAT not a THERMOMETER.

I Corinthians 16:13 Be on your guard; stand firm in the faith

Kids don’t need a MOTTO to say, they need a MODEL to follow.

Deuteronomy 6:4-8 Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God, the Lord is

one. Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all

your strength. These commandments that I give you today are to be on your

hearts. Impress them on your children. Talk about them when you sit at home and

when you walk along the road, when you lie down and when you get up. Tie them

as symbols on your hands and bind them on your foreheads.

Joshua 24:15 … But as for me and my family, we will serve the Lord.”

Proverbs 14:26 Those who fear the Lord are secure; he will be a refuge for their

children.

I Corinthians 11:1 And you should imitate me, just as I imitate Christ.

The greatest impact of faith won’t be the WORDS you speak, but the LIFE

you live.

Be their PARENT not their FRIEND.
Parent with STRENGTH.

Ephesians 6:4 Fathers, do not exasperate your children; instead, bring them up in

the training and instruction of the Lord.

Love is not a FEELING, but a COMMITMENT.

The greatest GIFT a parent can give their children is a HEALTHY

MARRIAGE.

Judges 2:8, 10-11 Joshua son of Nun, the servant of the Lord, died at the age of a

hundred and ten. 10 After that whole generation had been gathered to their

ancestors, another generation grew up who knew neither the Lord nor what he had

done for Israel. Then the Israelites did evil in the eyes of the Lord and served the

Baals.

Our greatest success in life may not be WHAT we do, but WHO we raise.

1 Corinthians 13:1 If I speak in the tongues of men or of angels, but do not HAVE LOVE, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal.

If I find the RIGHT person everything will be ALL RIGHT.
We just need CHEMISTRY and PASSION.
We need SEX.

Proverbs 24:3 By wisdom a house is built and through understanding it is established; through knowledge its rooms are filled with rare and beautiful treasures.

Luke 6:46-48 “Why do you call me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ and do not do what I say?As for everyone who comes to me and hears my words and puts them into practice, I will show you what they are like. They are like a man building a house, who dug down deep and laid the foundation on rock. When a flood came, the torrent struck that house but could not shake it, because it was well built.

Luke 6:46-47 “Why do you call me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ and do not do what I say? As for everyone who comes to me and hears my words and puts them into practice, I will show you what they are like.

1. Focus on becoming the RIGHT PERSON.

Psalm 37:4 Take delight in the Lord and he will give you the desires of your heart.

2. Follow God’s INSTRUCTIONS.

Song Of Solomon 5:2-3 I slept, but my heart was awake, when I heard my lover knocking and calling: “Open to me, my treasure, my darling, my dove, my perfect one. My head is drenched with dew, my hair with the dampness of the night.” But I responded, “I have taken off my robe. Should I get dressed again? I have washed my feet. Should I get them soiled?”

1. Don’t attack the PERSON, attack the PROBLEM.

2. Acknowledge the HURT.

Song Of Solomon 5:5-6 I jumped up to open the door for my love, and my hands dripped with perfume. My fingers dripped with lovely myrrh as I pulled back the bolt. I opened to my lover, but he was gone! My heart sank. I searched for him but could not find him anywhere. I called to him, but there was no reply.

If you don’t learn to TRANSFORM your pain, you will just TRANSFER it.

3. Seek wise COUNSEL.

Song Of Solomon 5:9-10 Why is your lover better than all others, O woman of rare beauty? What makes your lover so special that we must promise this? My lover is dark and dazzling, better than ten thousand others!

Seeking counsel isn’t a sign of WEAKNESS but a sign of STRENGTH.

4. Forgive EARLY and OFTEN.

You can hold onto the GRUDGE, or you can hold onto the PERSON.

Song Of Solomon 6:4-6 You are beautiful, my darling, like the lovely city of Tirzah. Yes, as beautiful as Jerusalem, as majestic as an army with billowing banners. Turn your eyes away, for they overpower me. Your hair falls in waves, like a flock of goats winding down the slopes of Gilead. Your teeth are as white as sheep that are freshly washed. Your smile is flawless, each tooth matched with its twin.

Psalm 91: 1- 16 (NIV) Whoever dwells in the shelter of the Most High will rest in the shadow of the Almighty. I will say of the Lord, “He is my refuge and my fortress, my God, in whom I trust.” Surely he will save you from the fowler’s snare and from the deadly pestilence. He will cover you with his feathers, and under his wings you will find refuge; his faithfulness will be your shield and rampart. You will not fear the terror of night, nor the arrow that flies by day, nor the pestilence that stalks in the darkness, nor the plague that destroys at midday. A thousand may fall at your side, ten thousand at your right hand, but it will not come near you. You will only observe with your eyes and see the punishment of the wicked. If you say, “The Lord is my refuge,” and you make the Most High your dwelling, no harm will overtake you, no disaster will come near your tent. For he will command his angels concerning you to guard you in all your ways; they will lift you up in their hands, so that you will not strike your foot against a stone. You will tread on the lion and the cobra; you will trample the great lion and the serpent. “Because he loves me,” says the Lord, “I will rescue him; I will protect him, for he acknowledges my name. He will call on me, and I will answer him; I will be with him in trouble, I will deliver him and honor him. With long life I will satisfy him and show him my salvation.”

Dwell - To abide as a permanent residence or to inhabit for a time

Psalm 91: 1- 2 (NIV) Whoever dwells in the shelter of the Most High will rest in the shadow of the Almighty. I will say of the Lord, “He is my refuge and my fortress, my God, in whom I trust.”

Psalm 91: 9-10 If you say, “The Lord is my refuge,” and you make the Most High your dwelling, no harm will overtake you….

How to dwell in the right place:

Recognize

Romans 8:6 The mind governed by the flesh is death, but the mind governed by the Spirit is life and peace.

Respond

2 Corinthians 10:5 We demolish arguments and every pretension that sets itself up against the knowledge of God, and we take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ.

Philippians 4:6-7 MSG Don’t fret or worry. Instead of worrying, pray. Let petitions and praises shape your worries into prayers, letting God know your concerns. Before you know it, a sense of God’s wholeness, everything coming together for good, will come and settle you down. It’s wonderful what happens when Christ displaces worry at the center of your life.

Renew

Romans 12:2 Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind…

Isaiah 26:3 You will keep in perfect peace those whose minds are steadfast, because they trust in you.

Philippians 4:8 Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things.

We don’t live by PRESSURE; we live by PRINCIPLES.

Luke 12:13-15 Someone in the crowd said to him, “Teacher, tell my brother to divide the inheritance with me.” Jesus replied, “Man, who appointed me a judge or an arbiter between you?” Then he said to them, “Watch out! Be on your guard against all kinds of greed; life does not consist in an abundance of possessions.”

Jesus doesn’t measure SUCCESS the way the world measures SUCCESS.

Luke 12:16-17 NIV And he told them this parable: “The ground of a certain rich man yielded an abundant harvest. He thought to himself, ‘What shall I do? I have no place to store my crops.

Right PERSPECTIVE
God is the SOURCE.

Deuteronomy 8:17-18 You may say to yourself, “My power and the strength of my hands have produced this wealth for me.” But remember the Lord your God, for it is he who gives you the ability to produce wealth, and so confirms his covenant, which he swore to your ancestors, as it is today.

God owns IT ALL.

Psalm 24:1 The earth is the Lord’s, and everything in it, the world, and all who live in it;

I am a MANAGER.
Right PLAN

Luke 12:17-19, 21 He thought to himself, ‘What shall I do? I have no place to store my crops.’“Then he said, ‘This is what I’ll do. I will tear down my barns and build bigger ones, and there I will store my surplus grain. And I’ll say to myself, “You have plenty of grain laid up for many years. Take life easy; eat, drink and be merry.”’ “This is how it will be with whoever stores up things for themselves but is not rich toward God.”

Proverbs 21:20 The wise store up choice oil, a fool devours all he has.

A) Become GENEROUS

B) $1000 in SAVINGS

C) Attack DEBT

D) Get on a BUDGET

Genesis 4:1-8 ESV Now Adam knew Eve his wife, and she conceived and bore Cain, saying, “I have gotten a man with the help of the Lord.” And again, she bore his brother Abel. Now Abel was a keeper of sheep, and Cain a worker of the ground. In the course of time Cain brought to the Lord an offering of the fruit of the ground, and Abel also brought of the firstborn of his flock and of their fat portions. And the Lord had regard for Abel and his offering, but for Cain and his offering he had no regard. So Cain was very angry, and his face fell. The Lord said to Cain, “Why are you angry, and why has your face fallen? If you do well, will you not be accepted? And if you do not do well, sin is crouching at the door. Its desire is contrary to you, but you must rule over it.” Cain spoke to Abel his brother. And when they were in the field, Cain rose up against his brother Abel and killed him.

John 10:10b I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full.

Principle of INCREASE
Principle of STEWARDSHIP
Principle of the FIRST
Principle of SOWING and REAPING

PRINCIPLES ABOUT FINANCES

First means FIRST.

Exodus 20:3 “You must not have any other god but me.

Genesis 1:1 In the beginning, God

TITHE--dekátē – properly, a tenth (a tenth part), a tithe; (figuratively) "the first part" standing for the whole

Leviticus 27:30 “One-tenth of the produce of the land, whether grain from the fields or fruit from the trees, belongs to the Lord and must be set apart to him as holy.

Proverbs 3:9 GW Honor the Lord with your wealth

and with the first and best part of all your income.

Hebrews 11:6 And it is impossible to please God without faith. Anyone who wants to come to him must believe that God exists and that he rewards those who sincerely seek him.

Every PROMOTION has a TEST.

Malachi 3:10-12 Bring all the tithes into the storehouse so there will be enough food in my Temple. If you do,” says the Lord of Heaven’s Armies, “I will open the windows of heaven for you. I will pour out a blessing so great you won’t have enough room to take it in! Try it! Put me to the test! Your crops will be abundant, for I will guard them from insects and disease. Your grapes will not fall from the vine before they are ripe,” says the Lord of Heaven’s Armies.“Then all nations will call you blessed, for your land will be such a delight,” says the Lord of Heaven’s Armies.

That seed SOWN will PRODUCE.

2 Corinthians 9:10-11 CEB The one who supplies seed for planting and bread for eating will supply and multiply your seed and will increase your crop, which is righteousness. You will be made rich in every way so that you can be generous in every way. Such generosity produces thanksgiving to God through us.

2 Chronicles 19:4 Jehoshaphat lived in Jerusalem, and he went out again among the people from Beersheba to the hill country of Ephraim and turned them back to the Lord, the God of their ancestors

2 Chronicles 20: 1 After this, the Moabites and Ammonites with some of the Meunites came to wage war against Jehoshaphat.

2 Chronicles 20:2 Some people came and told Jehoshaphat, “A vast army is coming against you from Edom, from the other side of the Dead Sea. It is already in Hazezon Tamar”.

2 Chronicles 20:3Alarmed, Jehoshaphat resolved to inquire of the Lord…

Resolved: to firmly determine to do something.

2 Chronicles 20:12…For we have no power to face this vast army that is attacking us. We do not know what to do, but our eyes are on you.”

Fix your focus.

Proverbs 3:5-6 Trust in the Lord with all your heart; do not depend on your own understanding. Seek his will in all you do, and he will show you which path to take.

2 Chronicles 20:15 He said: “Listen, King Jehoshaphat and all who live in Judah and Jerusalem! This is what the Lord says to you: ‘Do not be afraid or discouraged because of this vast army. For the battle is not yours, but God’s.

2 Chronicles 20:16-17 Tomorrow march down against them. They will be climbing up by the Pass of Ziz, and you will find them at the end of the gorge in the Desert of Jeruel.You will not have to fight this battle. Take up your positions; stand firm and see the deliverance the Lord will give you, Judah and Jerusalem. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged. Go out to face them tomorrow, and the Lord will be with you.’”

Don’t give up, Show up!

2 Chronicles 20:20-21 Early in the morning they left for the Desert of Tekoa. As they set out, Jehoshaphat stood and said, “Listen to me, Judah and people of Jerusalem! Have faith in the Lord your God and you will be upheld; have faith in his prophets and you will be successful.” After consulting the people, Jehoshaphat appointed men to sing to the Lord and to praise him for the splendor of his holiness as they went out at the head of the army, saying: “Give thanks to the Lord, for his love endures forever.”

2 Chronicles 20:22 As they began to sing and praise, the Lord set ambushes against the men of Ammon and Moab and Mount Seir who were invading Judah, and they were defeated.

Make Worship your weapon.

2 Chronicles 20:25 -26 King Jehoshaphat and his men went out to gather the plunder. They found vast amounts of equipment, clothing, and other valuables—more than they could carry. There was so much plunder that it took them three days just to collect it all! On the fourth day they gathered in the Valley of Blessing, which got its name that day because the people praised and thanked the Lord there. It is still called the Valley of Blessing today.

2 Chronicles 20:27 -28 Then all the men returned to Jerusalem, with Jehoshaphat leading them, overjoyed that the Lord had given them victory over their enemies. They marched into Jerusalem to the music of harps, lyres, and trumpets, and they proceeded to the Temple of the Lord.

Romans 12:1-2 Therefore I urge you, brothers and sisters, in view of God’s mercy, to offer your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to God—this is your true and proper worship. Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will.

I am a WORSHIPPER

Worship- to ascribe WORTH / VALUE to something

We were created to WORSHIP God.

1 Peter 2:9 But you are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, God’s special possession, that you may declare the praises of him who called you out of darkness into his wonderful light.

Romans 12:1 Therefore, I urge you, brothers and sisters, in view of God’s mercy, to offer your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to God—this is your true and proper worship.

True worship is a RESPONSE to the love of God.

1 John 4:19 We love because he first loved us

Worship is EASY when it’s a response to God’s love.

Romans 12:1 Therefore, I urge you, brothers and sisters, in view of God’s mercy, to offer your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to God—this is your true and proper worship.

True worship is COSTLY.

2 Samuel 24:24. But the king replied to Araunah, “No, I insist on paying you for it. I will not sacrifice to the Lord my God burnt offerings that cost me nothing.” So David bought the threshing floor and the oxen and paid fifty shekels of silver for them.

We worship with our TIME

We worship with our TALENT
We worship with our TREASURE

Proverbs 3:9 Honor the LORD with your wealth, with the first fruits of all your crops;

Romans 12:1-2 Therefore, I urge you, brothers and sisters, in view of God’s mercy, to offer your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to God—this is your true and proper worship. Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will.

True worship is a LIFESTYLE.

1 Corinthians 10:31 whatever you do, do it all for the glory of God

Your worship to God isn’t SOMETHING you do, it’s EVERYTHING you do.

Hebrews 13:15-16 “Through Jesus, therefore, let us continually offer to God a sacrifice of praise—the fruit of lips that openly profess his name. And do not forget to do good and to share with others, for with such sacrifices God is pleased.”

Isaiah 61:3 the oil of joy instead of mourning, and a garment of praise instead of a spirit of despair.

I am MORE than a CONQUEROR

Romans 8:37 No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us.

A conqueror- does the WORK, gets the REWARD.

More than a conqueror- does NO work, but because of RELATIONSHIP, gets the REWARD.

1 Corinthians 15:56-57 The sting of death is sin, and the power of sin is the law. But thanks be to God! He gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.

Being ATTACKED is inevitable, but being DEFEATED is unacceptable.

4 Questions to ask when under attack: Romans 8:31 What, then, shall we say in response to these things? If GOD is for us, WHO can be against us?

The OPPOSITION Question

Our opposition:

· The FLESH

· The DEVIL

· The WORLD

The STRUGGLE seems great, but the SAVIOR is greater.

Deuteronomy 20:4 For the Lord your God is the one who goes with you to fight for you against your enemies to give you victory.

Romans 8:32 He who did not spare his own Son, but GAVE him up for us all—how will he not also, along with him, graciously give us ALL THINGS?

The PROVISION Question

Jehovah-JIREH: “The LORD will provide” (Genesis 22:14).

The greater provision- Our SALVATION

The lesser provision- Our STUFF or SATISFACTION

Philippians 4:19And my God will meet all your needs according to the riches of his glory in Christ Jesus

Romans 8:33 Who will bring any CHARGE against those whom God has chosen?

The ACCUSATION Question

Satan is called the “father of LIES” (John 8:44) and the “ACCUSER of our brothers and sisters” (Revelation 12:10) because his two main weapons are to DECEIVE you and bring up your PAST.

2 Corinthians 5:21 God made him who had no sin to be sin for us, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God.

Romans 8:34 Who then is the one who condemns? No one. Christ Jesus who died—more than that, who was raised to life—is at the right hand of God and is also interceding for us.

Romans 8:35 Who shall SEPARATE us from the LOVE of Christ?

The LOVE Question

Romans 8:35 Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall trouble or hardship or persecution or famine or nakedness or danger or sword?

My love for God isn’t CONTINGENT on what He continues to do for me but is CONSTANT because of what He did on the cross.

Romans 8:38-39 For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

God’s love isn’t based on FEELINGS but based on FACTS.

1 John 4:9-11 This is how God showed his love among us: He sent his one and only Son into the world that we might live through him. This is love: not that we loved God, but that he loved us and sent his Son as an atoning sacrifice for our sins. Dear friends, since God so loved us, we also ought to love one another.

“God loves EACH of us as if there were only ONE of us.”—Augustine

Romans 8:1-4 Therefore, there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus, because through Christ Jesus the law of the Spirit who gives life has set you free from the law of sin and death. For what the law was powerless to do because it was weakened by the flesh, God did by sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh to be a sin offering. And so he condemned sin in the flesh, in order that the righteous requirement of the law might be fully met in us, who do not live according to the flesh but according to the Spirit.

Romans 8:14 For those who are led by the Spirit of God are the children of God.

I am LED by the SPIRIT.

Everyone is led by SOMETHING.

Romans 8:14 For those who are led by the Spirit of God are the children of God.

Where does the Holy Spirit lead us?

The Spirit leads us toward CHRIST. Romans 8:3-4
The Spirit leads us to PEACE. Romans 8:5-6

Romans 8:5-6 Those who live according to the flesh have their minds set on what the flesh desires; but those who live in accordance with the Spirit have their minds set on what the Spirit desires. The mind governed by the flesh is death, but the mind governed by the Spirit is life and peace.

The Spirit leads us to HOLINESS. Romans 8:12-13

Romans 8:12-13 Therefore, brothers and sisters, we have an obligation—but it is not to the flesh, to live according to it. For if you live according to the flesh, you will die; but if by the Spirit you put to death the misdeeds of the body, you will live.

The Spirit leads us to understanding our new IDENTITY. Romans 8:14-17

Romans 8:14-17 For those who are led by the Spirit of God are the children of God. The Spirit you received does not make you slaves, so that you live in fear again; rather, the Spirit you received brought about your adoption to sonship. And by him we cry, “Abba, Father.” The Spirit himself testifies with our spirit that we are God’s children. Now if we are children, then we are heirs—heirs of God and co-heirs with Christ, if indeed we share in his sufferings in order that we may also share in his glory.

The Spirit leads us to STRENGTH. Romans 8:26

Romans 8:26 In the same way, the Spirit helps us in our weakness. We do not know what we ought to pray for, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us through wordless groans.

The Spirit leads us to our ultimate PURPOSE. Romans 8:27-28

Romans 8:27-28 And he who searches our hearts knows the mind of the Spirit, because the Spirit intercedes for God’s people in accordance with the will of God. And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose.

How to be led by the spirit?

Release CONTROL.

Galatians 5:16-17 So I say, walk by the Spirit, and you will not gratify the desires of the flesh. For the flesh desires what is contrary to the Spirit, and the Spirit what is contrary to the flesh. They are in conflict with each other, so that you are not to do whatever you want.

Surrender is a DAILY choice to let GOD lead.

WATCH and PRAY.

Matthew 26:41 Watch and pray so that you will not fall into temptation. The spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak.

There is a God-given ASSIGNMENT in every ENVIRONMENT.

Take a RISK.

James 2:17 In the same way, faith by itself, if it is not accompanied by action, is dead.

The SPIRIT is too powerful and our SALVATION is too significant to play it SAFE.

Rely on God’s POWER.

2 Corinthians 12:9 But he said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ’s power may rest on me.

A life of faith lives utterly dependent on GOD: FAILURE is inevitable without His INTERVENTION.

Give God the GLORY.

Galatians 5:25-26 Since we live by the Spirit, let us keep in step with the Spirit. Let us not become conceited, provoking and envying each other.

God calls us to do things that are beyond our ABILITY so He gets ALL the glory.

Genesis 37:5-9 “Joseph had a dream, and when he told it to his brothers, they hated him all the more. He said to them, ‘Listen to this dream I had: We were binding sheaves of grain out in the field when suddenly my sheaf rose and stood upright, while your sheaves gathered around mine and bowed down to it.’ His brothers said to him, ‘Do you intend to reign over us? Will you actually rule us?’ Then he had another dream, and he told it to his brothers. ‘Listen,’ he said, ‘I had another dream, and this time the sun and moon and eleven stars were bowing down to me.’”

1. Develop our resilience

Gen 39:3 says, “Now his master (Potipher) saw that the LORD was with (Joseph) and how the LORD caused all that he did to prosper in his hand.”

Gen 39:22, “The chief jailer committed to Joseph’s charge all the prisoners who were in the jail; so that whatever was done there, he was responsible for it. The chief jailer did not supervise anything under Joseph’s charge because the LORD was with him; and whatever he did, the LORD made to prosper.”

Resilience is built when we stop resisting resistance and embrace it.

2. Develop our character.

Gen 39:8-9, “Behold, with me here, my master does not concern himself with anything in the house, and he has put all that he owns in my charge. There is no one greater in this house than I, and he has withheld nothing from me except you, because you are his wife. How then could I do this great evil and sin against God?”

Character is who you are when no one is watching.

You build character by doing the right thing even when you know it could hurt you.

Romans 8:28, “And we know that God causes all things to work together for good to those who love God, to those who are called according to His purpose.”

When you choose character it might hurt you in the worlds eyes but it will never hurt you in God’s eyes.

Gen 45:5, “But don't feel badly, don't blame yourselves for selling me. God was behind it. God sent me here ahead of you to save lives.”

3. Develop our perspective.

God’s purpose for my life is not about me.

Romans 6:1-2 What shall we say, then? Shall we go on sinning so that grace may increase? By no means! We are those who have died to sin; how can we live in it any longer?

Romans 6:11 In the same way, count yourselves dead to sin but alive to God in Christ Jesus.

I am DEAD to SIN

1 John 3:4 “Everyone who sins breaks the law; in fact, sin is lawlessness.”

“Sin”- Greek word: HAMARTIA- “missing the MARK” (intentionally or unintentionally) of God’s moral STANDARD or law as described in His word.

5 Reasons Sin is a Big Deal:

Sin SEPARATES Isaiah 59:2
Sin leads to DEATH James 1:14-15

Romans 6:23 For the wages of sin is death

Sin keeps us from God’s BEST Galatians 5:19-21
Sin TRAPS the sinner John 8:34
Sin is a COUNTERFEIT 1 John 3:8

Romans 6:11 In the same way, count yourselves dead to sin but alive to God in Christ Jesus.

My IDENTITY is no longer in SIN, it is in CHRIST.

Psalm 51:5 Surely I was sinful at birth sinful from the time my mother conceived me.

Romans 5:12 Therefore, just as sin entered the world through one man, and death through sin, and in this way death came to all people, because all sinned—

Romans 5:8 But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.

God’s GRACE does not simply address our ISSUES, it changes our IDENTITY.

Romans 6:3-8 Or don’t you know that all of us who were baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into his death? We were therefore buried with him through baptism into death in order that, just as Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, we too may live a new life. For if we have been united with him in a death like his, we will certainly also be united with him in a resurrection like his. For we know that our old self was crucified with him so that the body ruled by sin might be done away with, that we should no longer be slaves to sin—because anyone who has died has been set free from sin. Now if we died with Christ, we believe that we will also live with him.

2 Corinthians 5:17 Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come: The old has gone, the new is here!

I am no longer a SLAVE to sin, but a SERVANT of Christ.

Sin is a ruthless MASTER disguised as a fun-loving FRIEND.

Romans 6:12 Therefore do not let sin reign in your mortal body so that you obey its evil desires.

Do not MANAGE sin, MURDER it.

Romans 6:13 Do not offer any part of yourself to sin as an instrument of wickedness, but rather offer yourselves to God as those who have been brought from death to life; and offer every part of yourself to him as an instrument of righteousness.

1 Corinthians 10:13 No temptation has overtaken you except what is common to mankind. And God is faithful; he will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear. But when you are tempted, he will also provide a way out so that you can endure it.

When I am tempted to GIVE IN to sin, I will REACH OUT and receive God’s grace.

Romans 6:14 For sin shall no longer be your master, because you are not under the law, but under grace.

Grace is not PERMISSION to sin; it is the POWER to live free.

Romans 7:24-25 What a wretched man I am! Who will rescue me from this body that is subject to death? Thanks be to God, who delivers me through Jesus Christ our Lord!

Romans 3:25-26 God presented Christ as a sacrifice of atonement, through the shedding of his blood—to be received by faith. He did it to demonstrate his righteousness at the present time, so as to be just and the one who justifies those who have faith in Jesus.

Romans 1:17 For in the gospel the righteousness of God is revealed- a righteousness that is by faith from first to last, just as it is written: “The righteous will live by faith”.

I am LIVING by FAITH

Your ACCESS to everything significant in God’s kingdom happens through FAITH.

Hebrews 11:1 Now faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen.

Faith is TRUST

Hebrews 11:6 without faith it is impossible to please God

God is PLEASED when we TRUST Him.

Faith is a GIFT.

Romans 12:3 For by the grace given me I say to every one of you: Do not think of yourself more highly than you ought, but rather think of yourself with sober judgment, in accordance with the faith God has distributed to each of you

Ephesians 2:8 For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God—

Romans 10:17 Consequently, faith comes from hearing the message, and the message is heard through the word about Christ.

The more you HEAR God, the more faith is DEPOSITED in your LIFE from God.

Faith is a KEY.

Romans 3:22-24 This righteousness is given through faith in Jesus Christ to all who believe. There is no difference between Jew and Gentile, for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, and all are justified freely by his grace through the redemption that came by Christ Jesus.

JUSTIFICATION- just as if I had NEVER sinned

Romans 3:25-26 God presented Christ as a sacrifice of atonement, through the shedding of his blood—to be received by faith. He did it to demonstrate his righteousness at the present time, so as to be just and the one who justifies those who have faith in Jesus.

Galatians 2:16 know that a person is not justified by the works of the law, but by faith in Jesus Christ.

RIGHTEOUSNESS- Right standing WITH God

Romans 4:2-3 If, in fact, Abraham was justified by works, he had something to boast about—but not before God. What does Scripture say? “Abraham believed God, and it was credited to him as righteousness.”

Romans 4:23-24 The words “it was credited to him” were written not for him alone, but also for us, to whom God will credit righteousness—for us who believe in him who raised Jesus our Lord from the dead.

Our righteousness has nothing to do with what I DO but it has to do with what He DID.

GRACE-the EMPOWERMENT to live for God

Romans 5:1-2 Therefore, since we have been justified through faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have gained access by faith into this grace in which we now stand.

The same grace that SAVED you is the same grace that will SUSTAIN you.

Faith is a MUSCLE.

The trial you are going through isn’t to BREAK you but to BUILD you.

Romans 4:18-21 Against all hope, Abraham in hope believed and so became the father of many nations, just as it had been said to him, “So shall your offspring be.” Without weakening in his faith, he faced the fact that his body was as good as dead—since he was about a hundred years old—and that Sarah’s womb was also dead. Yet he did not waver through unbelief regarding the promise of God, but was strengthened in his faith and gave glory to God, being fully persuaded that God had power to do what he had promised.

Faith is either EXERCIESED or ELIMINATED.

Trusting God doesn’t ELIMINATE problems. Trusting God is a CHOICE to believe that God will use my problems for a greater PURPOSE.

Romans 1:20 For since the creation of the world God’s invisible qualities—his eternal power and divine nature—have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that people are without excuse.

I am FINISHED with EXCUSES.

Pictures-excuses

You can make EXCUSES or you can make PROGRESS but you can’t make both.

We are finished with excuses because:

The ANGER of God is SERIOUS.

Romans1:18 The wrath of God is being revealed from heaven against all the godlessness and wickedness of people, who suppress the truth by their wickedness

You will never be able to understand how GOOD the GOOD news is, if you don’t understand how BAD the BAD news is.

HUMAN anger: emotional response that is irrational, uncontrolled, and cruel.

GOD’S anger: righteous opposition to evil and those who choose it

The opposite of anger isn’t LOVE, it’s PASSIVITY.

Romans 1:21-25 For although they knew God, they neither glorified him as God nor gave thanks to him, but their thinking became futile and their foolish hearts were darkened. Although they claimed to be wise, they became fools and exchanged the glory of the immortal God for images made to look like a mortal human being and birds and animals and reptiles. Therefore God gave them over in the sinful desires of their hearts to sexual impurity for the degrading of their bodies with one another. They exchanged the truth about God for a lie, and worshiped and served created things rather than the Creator—who is forever praised. Amen.

God’s anger/ judgment is shown in:

Deceived hearts

Depraved minds

Unnatural desires

Acceptance of sin

Romans 1:32 Although they know God’s righteous decree that those who do such things deserve death, they not only continue to do these very things but also approve of those who practice them.

The CREATION of God is SIGNIFICANT.

Romans 1:20 For since the creation of the world God’s invisible qualities—his eternal power and divine nature—have been clearly seen

The CREATION declares there is a CREATOR.

The SACRIFICE of Jesus was SUFFICIENT.

Romans 2:1 You, therefore, have no excuse, you who pass judgment on someone else, for at whatever point you judge another, you are condemning yourself, because you who pass judgment do the same things.

Romans 2:5-6 But because of your stubbornness and your unrepentant heart, you are storing up wrath against yourself for the day of God’s wrath, when his righteous judgment will be revealed. God “will repay each person according to what they have done.”

Romans 3:23-25 for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, and all are justified freely by his grace through the redemption that came by Christ Jesus. God presented Christ as a sacrifice of atonement, through the shedding of his blood—to be received by faith.

Jesus took what I deserved, so that I could get what HE deserved.

The GOSPEL is simply GOOD NEWS.

Romans 1:16-17 For I am not ashamed of the gospel, because it is the power of God that brings salvation to everyone who believes: first to the Jew, then to the Gentile. For in the gospel the righteousness of God is revealed—a righteousness that is by faith from first to last, just as it is written: “The righteous will live by faith.”

I am NOT ASHAMED of the GOSPEL.

I AM NOT ASHAMED BECAUSE:

The gospel is from GOD.

Romans 1:1 Paul, a servant of Christ Jesus, called to be an apostle and set apart for the gospel of God—

Romans 1:2 the gospel he promised beforehand through his prophets in the Holy Scriptures

I Peter 1:20 God chose Him as your ransom long before the world began.

The gospel is about JESUS.

Romans 1:3-4 regarding his Son, who as to his earthly life was a descendant of David, and who through the Spirit of holiness was appointed the Son of God in power by his resurrection from the dead: Jesus Christ our Lord.

Romans 1:5 Through him we received grace and apostleship to call all the gentiles to the obedience that comes from faith for his name’s sake.

The gospel produces OBEDIENCE.

Romans 1:5 Through him we received grace and apostleship to call all the Gentiles to the obedience that comes from faith for his name’s sake.

Real faith is MARKED by a desire to PLEASE God.

Being good doesn’t SAVE us, but being good is EVIDENCE that Jesus has saved us.

Matthew 5:16 let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven.

It's the PEOPLE who don’t LOOK like the world, that will be the people who CHANGE the world.

The gospel is for EVERYONE.

Romans 1:5 Through him we received grace and apostleship to call all the Gentiles to the obedience that comes from faith for his name’s sake.

Romans 10:13 For “whoever calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved.”

Romans 1:14-15 I am obligated both to Greeks and non-Greeks, both to the wise and the foolish. That is why I am so eager to preach the gospel also to you who are in Rome.

The gospel is POWERFUL.

Romans 1:16 For I am not ashamed of the gospel, because it is the power of God that brings salvation to everyone who believes: first to the Jew, then to the Gentile.

Salvation- sōtēria – WHOLISTIC transformation

The LIFE you desire will never be achieved because of SELF, but because of Christ’s SACRIFICE.

Have you experienced the gospel power in your life?

Are you ashamed of the gospel?

I Peter 1:6-7 So be truly glad. There is wonderful joy ahead, even though you must endure many trials for a little while. These trials will show that your faith is genuine. It is being tested as fire tests and purifies gold—though your faith is far more precious than mere gold. So when your faith remains strong through many trials, it will bring you much praise and glory and honor on the day when Jesus Christ is revealed to the whole world.

II Timothy 1:7 For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind.

Daniel 3:4-6 Then the herald loudly proclaimed, "This is what you are commanded to do, O peoples, nations and men of every language: As soon as you hear the sound of the horn, flute, zither, lyre, harp, pipes and all kinds of music, you must fall down and worship the image of gold that King Nebuchadnezzar has set up. Whoever does not fall down and worship will immediately be thrown into a blazing furnace."

Daniel 3:15b …But if you do not worship it, you will be thrown immediately into a blazing furnace. Then what god will be able to rescue you from my hand?"

A faith that is TESTED by fire is a faith that can be TRUSTED.

We obey God’s COMMANDS instead of man’s EXPECTATIONS.

Daniel 3:16 Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego replied to the king, "O Nebuchadnezzar, we do not need to defend ourselves before you in this matter.

Proverbs 29:25 Fear of man brings a snare, but whoever trusts in the Lord shall be safe.

We believe God’s TRUTH instead of the FACTS.

Daniel 3:17 If we are thrown into the blazing furnace, the God we serve is able to save us from it, and he will rescue us from your hand, O king.

Proverbs 3:5 Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding.

We don’t just believe IN Him, we BELIEVE Him.

Daniel 3:18 But even if he does not, we want you to know, O king, that we will not serve your gods or worship the image of gold you have set up.”

Daniel 3:24-25 Then King Nebuchadnezzar was astonished; and he rose in haste and spoke, saying to his counselors, “Did we not cast three men bound into the midst of the fire?” They answered and said to the king, “True, O king.” “Look!” he answered, “I see four men loose, walking in the midst of the fire; and they are not hurt, and the form of the fourth is like the Son of God.”

Daniel 3:27-28 “They saw that the fire had not harmed their bodies, nor was a hair on their heads singed; their robes were not scorched and there was no fire on them. Then King Nebuchadnezzar said, “Praise be to the God of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, who has sent His angel and rescued His servants! They trusted in him and defied the king’s command and they were willing to give up their lives rather than serve or worship any god except for their own God.”

Daniel 3:1 King Nebuchadnezzar made an image of gold, ninety feet high and nine feet wide, and set it up on the plain of Dura in the province of Babylon.

You don’t have a FEAR problem, you have a FAITH problem.

Matthew 14:22-33 Immediately after this, Jesus insisted that his disciples get back into the boat and cross to the other side of the lake, while he sent the people home. After sending them home, he went up into the hills by himself to pray. Night fell while he was there alone. Meanwhile, the disciples were in trouble far away from land, for a strong wind had risen, and they were fighting heavy waves.

About three o’clock in the morning Jesus came toward them, walking on the water. When the disciples saw him walking on the water, they were terrified. In their fear, they cried out, “It’s a ghost!” But Jesus spoke to them at once. “Don’t be afraid,” he said. “Take courage. I am here!” Then Peter called to him, “Lord, if it’s really you, tell me to come to you, walking on the water.” “Yes, come,” Jesus said. So Peter went over the side of the boat and walked on the water toward Jesus. But when he saw the strong wind and the waves, he was terrified and began to sink. “Save me, Lord!” he shouted. Jesus immediately reached out and grabbed him. “You have so little faith,” Jesus said. “Why did you doubt me?” When they climbed back into the boat, the wind stopped. Then the disciples worshiped him. “You really are the Son of God!” they exclaimed.

Anything God leads you to do will initially involve some level of FEAR.
The greatest purpose of your life cannot be discovered while you’re LIVING for SECURITY.
FEAR will never go away.

Do it SCARED.

FEAR and GROWTH are a package deal.

There are things worse than FAILURE.

“Fatigue makes cowards of all of us.”—Vince Lombardi

Psalm 127:2 “…God wants his loved ones to get their proper rest.”

To follow Jesus you must renounce COMFORT as your ultimate VALUE.

Isaiah 43:2, 5a When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; and when you pass through the rivers, they will not sweep over you. When you walk through the fire, you will not be burned; the flames will not set you ablaze. Do not be afraid, for I am with you.

James 2:14 What good is it, my brothers and sisters, if someone claims to have faith but has no deeds? Can such faith save them?

2 Corinthians 13:5 NLT Examine yourselves to see if your faith is genuine. Test yourselves. Surely you know that Jesus Christ is among you; if not, you have failed the test of genuine faith.

Fake faith is DEAD.

James 2:17 In the same way, faith by itself, if it is not accompanied by action, is dead.

Fake faith is DECEIVED.

James 2:19 You believe that there is one God. Good! Even the demons believe that—and shudder.

James 2:17-18 In the same way, faith by itself, if it is not accompanied by action, is dead. But someone will say, “You have faith; I have deeds.” Show me your faith without deeds, and I will show you my faith by my deeds.

3 Ways To Know We Have Faith:

Real faith STEPS out.

James 2:21 Was not our father Abraham considered righteous for what he did when he offered his son Isaac on the altar?

Real faith is a faith that RESPONDS in obedience when God SPEAKS.

Real faith STICKS out.

James 2:25 In the same way, was not even Rahab the prostitute considered righteous for what she did when she gave lodging to the spies and sent them off in a different direction?

Real faith WORKS out.

James 2:26 As the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without deeds is dead.

We aren’t looking for PERFECTION, but we are striving for PROGRESS.

Philippians 2:12 MSG What I’m getting at, friends, is that you should simply keep on doing what you’ve done from the beginning. When I was living among you, you lived in responsive obedience.

Real faith is a RESPONSIVE and OBEDIENT faith.

2 Corinthians 5:7 (NIV) For we live by faith, not by sight.

If you want to make a difference with your life, you’ve got to get COMFORTABLE with being UNCOMFORTABLE.

Genesis 12:1-2, 4 NLT The Lord had said to Abram, “Leave your native country, your relatives, and your father’s family, and go to the land that I will show you. I will make you into a great nation. I will bless you and make you famous, and you will be a blessing to others. So Abram departed as the Lord had instructed, and Lot went with him. Abram was seventy-five years old when he left Haran.

There are some things worse than FAILURE.

Expect DIFFICULTIES.

Genesis 12:10 At that time a severe famine struck the land of Canaan, forcing Abram to go down to Egypt, where he lived as a foreigner.

REMEMBER what God can do.

Romans 4:17 That is what the Scriptures mean when God told him, “I have made you the father of many nations.” This happened because Abraham believed in the God who brings the dead back to life and who creates new things out of nothing.

Face the facts with FAITH.

Romans 4:19-20 And Abraham’s faith did not weaken, even though, at about 100 years of age, he figured his body was as good as dead—and so was Sarah’s womb. Abraham never wavered in believing God’s promise. In fact, his faith grew stronger, and in this he brought glory to God.

RELY on what God has said.

Genesis 15:1-3 Some time later, the Lord spoke to Abram in a vision and said to him, “Do not be afraid, Abram, for I will protect you, and your reward will be great.” But Abram replied, “O Sovereign Lord, what good are all your blessings when I don’t even have a son? Since you’ve given me no children, Eliezer of Damascus, a servant in my household, will inherit all my wealth. You have given me no descendants of my own, so one of my servants will be my heir.”

A life of faith is not the ABSENCE of DOUBT.

A life of faith is MOVING FORWARD in spite of my DOUBT.

Genesis 15:4-5 Then the Lord said to him, “No, your servant will not be your heir, for you will have a son of your own who will be your heir.” Then the Lord took Abram outside and said to him, “Look up into the sky and count the stars if you can. That’s how many descendants you will have!”

“From now on let no one cause me trouble, for I bear on my body the marks of Jesus.” Galatians 6:17

Stigma: a mark pricked in or branded upon the body. (Thayer’s Lexicon)

BIG IDEA: A life lived in the way of Jesus will have markings that identify it as such.

Surround, don't stomp on, those who stumble.“

Dear brothers and sisters, if another believer is overcome by some sin, you who are Godly should gently and humbly help that person back onto the right path…” Galatians 6:1a NLT

Walk in spiritual meekness not spiritual pride"

…And be careful not to fall into the same temptation yourself.” Galatians 6:1b NLT

Jeremiah 29:11

"For I know the plans I have for you," declares the Lord, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future."

God wants us to excel in exile

Jeremiah 29:4-11

This is what the Lord Almighty, the God of Israel, says to all those I carried into exile from Jerusalem to Babylon: Build houses and settle down; plant gardens and eat what they produce. Marry and have sons and daughters; find wives for your sons and give your daughters in marriage. Increase in number there; do not decrease. Also, seek the peace and prosperity of the city to which I have carried you into exile. Pray to the Lord for it because if it prospers, you too will prosper. Yes, this is what the Lord Almighty, the God of Israel, says: "Do not let the prophets and diviners among you deceive you. Do not listen to the dreams you encourage them to have. They are prophesying lies to you in my name. I have not sent them," declares the Lord. This is what the Lord says: "When seventy years are completed for Babylon, I will come to you and fulfill my gracious promise to bring you back to this place. For I know the plans I have for you," declares the Lord, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future."

Get the right plan

v5 Build houses and settle down (NLT version says "plan to stay"); plant gardens and eat what they produce. v6 Increase in number there; do not decrease.

Get a game plan, not an escape plan.

Get the right perspective

v7 Also, seek the peace and prosperity of the city to which I have carried you into exile. Pray to the Lord for it because if it prospers, you too will prosper.

Barrier: a circumstance or obstacle that keeps people or things apart or prevents communication or progress.

Prayer breaks barriers and gives us the right perspective

Get the right people

v8-9 "Do not let the prophets and diviners among you deceive you. Do not listen to the dreams you encourage them to have. They are prophesying lies to you in my name. I have not sent them," declares the Lord.

Jeremiah 29:12-14

"Then you will call upon me and come and pray to me, and I will listen to you. You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart. I will be found by you," declares the Lord, "and will bring you back from captivity. I will gather you from all the nations and places where I have banished you," declares the Lord, "and will bring you back to the place from which I carried you into exile."

I Samuel 16:7 The Lord does not look at the things people look at. People look at the outward appearance, but the Lord looks at the heart.

Proverbs 19:2 Desire without knowledge is not good, and whoever makes haste with his feet misses his way.

Blind desires will cause you to miss GOD’S WAY.

Proverbs 21:5 The plans of the diligent lead surely to abundance, but everyone who is hasty surely comes to poverty.

A BUSY HEART:

Creates STRESS

Cancels JOY

Crushes PRODUCTIVITY

Corrodes CONNECTION

I Corinthians 10:23-24 “I have the right to do anything,” you say—but not everything is beneficial. “I have the right to do anything”—but not everything is constructive. No one should seek their own good, but the good of others.

Don’t increase your PACE because of another person’s SPEED.

God didn’t create you to live BUSY.

When My Heart Is Busy:

SIMPLIFY

“Distractions must be conquered or they will conquer us. So let us cultivate simplicity; let us walk in the Spirit.”—A.W. Tozer

Philippians 4:11 I am not saying this because I am in need, for I have learned to be content whatever the circumstances.

Practical Step: Learn to say NO

God didn’t call us to say yes to everything and EVERYONE. He called us to say yes to HIM.

SLOW DOWN

Ecclesiastes 3:1 There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under the heavens:

Ecclesiastes 4:6 Better one handful with tranquillity than two handfuls with toil and chasing after the wind.

Practical Step: Select a SABBATH

Exodus 20:11 For in six days the Lord made the heavens and the earth, the sea, and all that is in them, but he rested on the seventh day. Therefore the Lord blessed the Sabbath day and made it holy.

God’s commandments aren’t to PUNISH us, but to PROTECT us.

SEEK GOD

Practical Step: Prioritize time with God DAILY.

Time with God is never time WASTED.

Proverbs 19:2 Desire without knowledge is not good, and whoever makes haste with his feet misses his way.

Titus 2:11-12 For the grace of God has appeared that offers salvation to all people. It teaches us to say “No” to ungodliness and worldly passions, and to live self-controlled, upright and godly lives in this present age,

Mark 16:8 Trembling and bewildered, the women went out and fled from the

tomb. They said nothing to anyone, because they were afraid.

2 Corinthians 4:8-9 We are hard pressed on every side, but not crushed; perplexed,

but not in despair; persecuted, but not abandoned; struck down, but not destroyed.

Perplexed: to be at a LOSS with one’s self, to be in DOUBT

1 Peter 4:12 Dear friends, do not be surprised at the fiery ordeal that has come on

you to test you, as though something strange were happening to you.

I Samuel 30:1-6 David and his men reached Ziklag on the third day. Now the

Amalekites had raided the Negev and Ziklag. They had attacked Ziklag and

burned it, and had taken captive the women and everyone else in it, both young and

old. They killed none of them, but carried them off as they went on their way.

When David and his men reached Ziklag, they found it destroyed by fire and their

wives and sons and daughters taken captive. So David and his men wept aloud

until they had no strength left to weep. David’s two wives had been

captured—Ahinoam of Jezreel and Abigail, the widow of Nabal of Carmel. David

was greatly distressed because the men were talking of stoning him; each one was

bitter in spirit because of his sons and daughters.

I Samuel 30:6 David was greatly distressed because the men were talking of

stoning him; each one was bitter in spirit because of his sons and daughters. But

David found strength in the Lord his God.

I will lean on the God who CARES.

I Corinthians 14:33 For God is not the author of confusion but of peace.

God’s PRESENCE always produces PEACE in your life.

I Samuel 30:7-8 Then David said to Abiathar the priest, the son of Ahimelek,

“Bring me the ephod.” Abiathar brought it to him, and David inquired of the Lord,

“Shall I pursue this raiding party? Will I overtake them?” “Pursue them,” he

answered. “You will certainly overtake them and succeed in the rescue.”

I will go to the God who brings CLARITY.

Most of problems happen because we go with our GUT rather than our GOD.

Jeremiah 17:9 The heart is deceitful above all things and beyond cure. Who can

understand it?

Don’t trust your HEART. Trust GOD, and let Him GUIDE your heart.

Acts 15:28 It seemed good to the Holy Spirit and to us

I Samuel 30:17-24 David fought them from dusk until the evening of the next day,

and none of them got away, except four hundred young men who rode off on

camels and fled. David recovered everything the Amalekites had taken, including

his two wives. Nothing was missing: young or old, boy or girl, plunder or anything

else they had taken. David brought everything back. He took all the flocks and

herds, and his men drove them ahead of the other livestock, saying, “This is

David’s plunder.” Then David came to the two hundred men who had been too

exhausted to follow him and who were left behind at the Besor Valley. They came

out to meet David and the men with him. As David and his men approached, he

asked them how they were. But all the evil men and troublemakers among David’s

followers said, “Because they did not go out with us, we will not share with them

the plunder we recovered. However, each man may take his wife and children and

go.” David replied, “No, my brothers, you must not do that with what the Lord

has given us. He has protected us and delivered into our hands the raiding party

that came against us. Who will listen to what you say? The share of the man who

stayed with the supplies is to be the same as that of him who went down to the

battle. All will share alike.”

I will be FAITHFUL to do the NEXT right thing.

“Do the NEXT right thing.”—Elizabeth Elliot

When I don’t know what is NEXT, I will just focus on being FAITHFUL now.

would not have died. But I know that even now God will give you whatever you

ask.” Jesus said to her, “Your brother will rise again.” Martha answered, “I know

he will rise again in the resurrection at the last day.” Jesus said to her, “I am the

resurrection and the life. The one who believes in me will live, even though they

die; and whoever lives by believing in me will never die. Do you believe this?”

John 11:32 When Mary reached the place where Jesus was and saw him, she fell at

his feet and said, “Lord, if you had been here, my brother would not have died.”

Mark 9:22-24 “It has often thrown him into fire or water to kill him. But if you can

do anything, take pity on us and help us.” “‘If you can’?” said Jesus. “Everything

is possible for one who believes.” Immediately the boy’s father exclaimed, “I do

believe; help me overcome my unbelief!”

When you are broken, don’t try to IMPRESS God, PRESS INTO God.

John 11:33-36 When Jesus saw her weeping, and the Jews who had come along

with her also weeping, he was deeply moved in spirit and troubled. “Where have

you laid him?” he asked. “Come and see, Lord,” they replied. Jesus wept. Then the

Jews said, “See how he loved him!”

John 11:38-39 Jesus, once more deeply moved, came to the tomb. It was a cave

with a stone laid across the entrance. “Take away the stone,” he said. “But, Lord,”

said Martha, the sister of the dead man, “by this time there is a bad odor, for he has

been there four days.”

John 11:43-44 When he had said this, Jesus called in a loud voice, “Lazarus, come

out!” The dead man came out, his hands and feet wrapped with strips of linen, and

a cloth around his face. Jesus said to them, “Take off the grave clothes and let him

go.”

Only Jesus can transform something BROKEN into something

OVERPROMISED

OVERLOOKED

OVERTAKEN

Bitterness is caused when we let NEGATIVE things that happened to US start

to live IN us.

Hebrews 12:15 See to it that no one falls short of the grace of God and that no

bitter root grows up to cause trouble and defile many.

Our tendency is to justify bitterness by calling it “JUSTICE”.

Romans 12:19 Do not take revenge, my dear friends, but leave room for God’s

wrath, for it is written: “It is mine to avenge; I will repay,” says the Lord.

Genesis 4:3-8 In the course of time Cain brought some of the fruits of the soil as an

offering to the Lord. And Abel also brought an offering—fat portions from some of

the firstborn of his flock. The Lord looked with favor on Abel and his offering, but

on Cain and his offering he did not look with favor. So Cain was very angry, and

his face was downcast. Then the Lord said to Cain, “Why are you angry? Why is

your face downcast? 7 If you do what is right, will you not be accepted? But if you

do not do what is right, sin is crouching at your door; it desires to have you, but

you must rule over it.” Now Cain said to his brother Abel, “Let’s go out to the

field.” While they were in the field, Cain attacked his brother Abel and killed him.

Bitterness only needs TIME before it turns DEADLY.

Genesis 4:3 In the course of time Cain brought some of the fruits of the soil as an

offering to the Lord.

Bitterness starts SMALL, but eventually consumes ALL.

Genesis 4:5-6 but on Cain and his offering he did not look with favor. So Cain was

very angry, and his face was downcast. Then the Lord said to Cain, “Why are you

angry? Why is your face downcast?

Genesis 4:7 If you do what is right, will you not be accepted? But if you do not do

what is right, sin is crouching at your door; it desires to have you, but you must

rule over it.”

they were in the field, Cain attacked his brother Abel and killed him.

Ephesians 4:31-32 Get rid of all bitterness, rage and anger, brawling and slander,

along with every form of malice. Be kind and compassionate to one another,

forgiving each other, just as in Christ God forgave you.

We Rid Ourselves Of Bitterness By:

 Being KIND to one another

Treat people the way you WANT to be treated.

 By being COMPASSIONATE with one another.

We give people GRACE.

 FORGIVING each other.

Let the HURT go.

Nehemiah 8:10 Do not grieve, for the joy of the LORD is your strength.

Philippians 4:4 Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again: Rejoice!

1. Worry about NOTHING.

Philippians 4:6a Do not be anxious about anything…

Matthew 6:27 Who of you by worrying can add a single hour to his life?

Matthew 6:34 Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.

2. Pray about EVERYTHING.

Philippians 4:6b …in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God.

1 Thessalonians 5:18 Give thanks in all circumstances, for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus.

Philippians 4:7b And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.

3. Think about the RIGHT THINGS.

Philippians 4:8 Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things.

Proverbs 23:7 NKJV For as he thinks in his heart, so is he…

4. Be content with MY THINGS.

Philippians 4:11 I am not saying this because I am in need, for I have learned to be content whatever the circumstances.

Philippians 4:12 I know what it is to be in need, and I know what it is to have plenty. I have learned the secret of being content in any and every situation, whether well fed or hungry, whether living in plenty or in want.

1 Timothy 6:6 But godliness with contentment is great gain.

5. Trust God for ALL THINGS.

Philippians 4:13 I can do everything through him who gives me strength.

Philippians 4:19 And my God will meet all your needs according to his glorious riches in Christ Jesus.

Nehemiah 8:10 Do not grieve, for the joy of the LORD is your strength.

Psalm 16:11 You have made known to me the path of life; you will fill me with joy in your presence, with eternal pleasures at your right hand.

Philippians 3:1 Finally, my brothers, rejoice in the Lord! It is no trouble for me to write the same things to you again, and it is a safeguard for you.

Watch out for NEGATIVEPEOPLE.

Philippians 3:2 Watch out for those dogs, those men who do evil, those mutilators of the flesh.

Galatians 5:7 You were running a good race. Who cut in on you and kept you from obeying the truth?

Watch out for LEGALISM.

Philippians 3:3 For it is we who are the circumcision, we who worship by the Spirit of God, who glory in Christ Jesus, and who put no confidence in the flesh.

Romans 14:17 For the kingdom of God is not a matter of eating and drinking, but of righteousness, peace and joy in the Holy Spirit.

Watch out for the SUBSTITUTE.

Philippians 3:4-6 If anyone else thinks he has reasons to put confidence in the flesh, I have more: circumcised on the eighth day, of the people of Israel, of the tribe of Benjamin, a Hebrew of Hebrews; in regard to the law, a Pharisee; as for zeal, persecuting the church; as for legalistic righteousness, faultless.

Luke 12:15 Watch out! Be on your guard against all kinds of greed. A man’s life does not consist in the abundance of his possessions.

1. Keep on KNOWING.

Philippians 3:8 What is more, I consider everything a loss compared to the surpassing greatness of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord, for whose sake I have lost all things. I consider them rubbish, that I may gain Christ.

Philippians 3:10 I want to know Christ and the power of his resurrection and the fellowship of sharing in his sufferings, becoming like him in his death.

2. Don’t stop GROWING.

Philippians 3:12-14 Not that I have already obtained all this, or have already been made perfect, but I press on to take hold of that for which Christ Jesus took hold of me. Brothers, I do not consider myself yet to have taken hold of it. But one thing I do: Forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead, I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus.

James 1:2-4 Consider it pure joy, my brothers, whenever you face trials of many kinds, because you know that the testing of your faith develops perseverance. Perseverance must finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything.

3. Know where YOU’REGOING.

Philippians 3:20 But our citizenship is in heaven. And we eagerly await a Savior from there, the Lord Jesus Christ.

“When a train goes through a tunnel and it gets dark, you don’t throw away the ticket and jump off. You sit and trust the engineer.”—Corrie Ten Boom

1 Peter 1:3-4 He has given us new birth into a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, and into an inheritance that can never perish, spoil or fade--kept in heaven for you.

“When we sin, worship doesn’t stop, it changes direction…”

Unceasing Worship by Harold Best

1 Six days before the Passover, Jesus went to Bethany, the home of Lazarus, the man he had raised from death. 2 They prepared a dinner for him there, which Martha helped serve; Lazarus was one of those who were sitting at the table with Jesus. 3 Then Mary took a whole pint of a very expensive perfume made of pure nard, poured it on Jesus' feet, and wiped them with her hair. The sweet smell of the perfume filled the whole house. 4 One of Jesus' disciples, Judas Iscariot—the one who was going to betray him—said, 5 “Why wasn't this perfume sold for three hundred silver coins and the money given to the poor?” 6 He said this, not because he cared about the poor, but because he was a thief. He carried the money bag and would help himself from it. John 12:1-6 GNT

When you understand WORSHIP you understand WORTH-SHIP.

3 Then Mary took a whole pint of a very expensive perfume made of pure nard, poured it on Jesus' feet, and wiped them with her hair. The sweet smell of the perfume filled the whole house. 4 One of Jesus' disciples, Judas Iscariot—the one who was going to betray him—said, 5 “Why wasn't this perfume sold for three hundred silver coins and the money given to the poor?” 6 He said this, not because he cared about the poor, but because he was a thief. He carried the money bag and would help himself from it. John 12:3-6 GNT

Worship is our WEAPON.

Ephesians 6:12 NIV For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms.2. Worship brings us back to WHY Jesus is WORTHY.

…The sweet smell of the perfume filled the whole house. John 12:3 GNT

“But God has shown us how much he loves us—it was while we were still sinners that Christ died for us!” Romans 5:8 GNT

“But you are the ones chosen by God, chosen for the high calling of priestly work, chosen to be a holy people, God’s instruments to do his work and speak out for him, to tell others of the night-and-day difference he made for you—from nothing to something, from rejected to accepted.” 1 Peter 2:9-10 MSG

Worship is our LIFESTYLE.

Nehemiah 8:10 Do not grieve, for the joy of the LORD is your strength.

John 15:11 I have told you this so that my joy may be in you and that your joy may be complete.

DISUNITY

Philippians 2:1-2 If you have any encouragement from being united with Christ, if any comfort from his love, if any fellowship with the Spirit, if any tenderness and compassion, then make my joy complete by being like-minded, having the same love, being one in spirit and purpose.

James 4:1 What causes fights and quarrels among you? Don’t they come from your desires that battle within you?

PRIDE

Philippians 2:3 Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit but in humility consider others better than yourselves.

Proverbs 29:23 A man’s pride brings him low, but a man of lowly spirit gains honor.

SELFISHNESS

Philippians 2:4 Each of you should look not only to your own interests, but also to the interests of others.

James 3:16 For where you have envy and selfish ambition, there you find disorder and every evil practice.

Philippians 2:5 Your attitude should be the same as that of Christ Jesus.

1. You’ve got to GIVE up your RIGHTS.

Philippians 2:6 Who, being in very nature God, did not consider equality with God something to be grasped.

Philippians 2:17 But even if I am being poured out like a drink offering on the sacrifice and service coming from your faith, I am glad and rejoice with all of you.

2. You’ve got to SERVE SOMEBODY.

Philippians 2:7b but made himself nothing, taking the very nature of a servant, being made in human likeness.

3. You’ve got to live for the GOOD OF OTHERS.

Philippians 2:8 And being found in appearance as a man, he humbled himself and became obedient to death-- even death on a cross!

John 15:13 Greater love has no one than this, that he lay down his life for his friends.

Philippians 1:3-6 “I thank my God every time I remember you. In all my prayers for all of you, I always pray with joy because of your partnership in the gospel from the first day until now, being confident of this, that he who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus.”

Happiness is EXTERNAL.

Joy is INTERNAL.

2 Corinthians 4:16-18 “Therefore we do not lose heart. Though outwardly we are wasting away, yet inwardly we are being renewed day by day. For our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all. So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen. For what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal.”

Happiness is based on CIRCUMSTANCES.

Joy is based on CHRIST.

Philippians 4:11b for I have learned to be content whatever the circumstances.

Happiness is based on CHANCE.

Joy is based on CHOICE.

Deuteronomy 30:19 This day I call heaven and earth as witnesses against you that I have set before you life and death, blessings and curses. Now choose life

Philippians 1:9-11 And this is my prayer: that your love may abound more and more in knowledge and depth of insight, so that you may be able to discern what is best and may be pure and blameless until the day of Christ, filled with the fruit of righteousness that comes through Jesus Christ--to the glory and praise of God.

1. Get over the DISTRACTION of what HAPPENED.

Philippians 1:12 Now I want you to know, brothers, that what has happened to me has really served to advance the gospel.

2. Discover the new OPPROTUNITIES.

Philippians 1:13-14 As a result, it has become clear throughout the whole palace guard and to everyone else that I am in chains for Christ. Because of my chains, most of the brothers in the Lord have been encouraged to speak the word of God more courageously and fearlessly.

3. Focus on what REALLYMATTERS.

Philippians 1:15-18 It is true that some preach Christ out of envy and rivalry, but others out of goodwill. The latter do so in love, knowing that I am put here for the defense of the gospel. The former preach Christ out of selfish ambition, not sincerely, supposing that they can stir up trouble for me while I am in chains. But what does it matter? The important thing is that in every way, whether from false motives or true, Christ is preached. And because of this I rejoice.

Philippians 1:21 For to me, to live is Christ and to die is gain.

When you know Christ, you’re in a WIN-WIN situation.

Revelation 12:11 They overcame him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony; they did not love their lives so much as to shrink from death.

2 Peter 1: 3-4 NIV His divine power has given us everything we need for a godly

life through our knowledge of him who called us by his own glory and goodness. 4

Through these he has given us his very great and precious promises, so that

through them you may participate in the divine nature, having escaped the

corruption in the world caused by evil desires.

2 Peter 1: 5-8 NIV For this very reason, make every effort to add to your faith

goodness; and to goodness, knowledge; 6 and to knowledge, self-control; and to

self-control, perseverance; and to perseverance, godliness; 7 and to godliness,

mutual affection; and to mutual affection, love. 8 For if you possess these qualities

in increasing measure, they will keep you from being ineffective and

unproductive in your knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.

2 Peter 1:10 NIV Therefore, my brothers and sisters, make every effort to confirm

your calling and election. For if you do these things, you will never stumble…

Start with the end in mind
Commit to the process

The life God has for us doesn’t happen in a day, it happens daily.

Faith - The foundation on which we grow spiritually.

Goodness (Virtue) - a life of strong character and discipline.

Knowledge - an understanding of what God thinks and values.

Self-control - the ability to lead yourself.

Perseverance - the ability to patiently stick to what is right.

Godliness - a spirit filled, spirit-led lifestyle that reflects the Lord.

Brotherly Kindness - a lifestyle that is warm, relational & caring.

If you don’t live by PRINCIPLES, you will live by PRESSURE. If you live by PRESSURE, you will make wrong DECISIONS.

Luke 12:13-21 NIV Someone in the crowd said to him, “Teacher, tell my brother to divide the inheritance with me.” Jesus replied, “Man, who appointed me a judge or an arbiter between you?” Then he said to them, “Watch out! Be on your guard against all kinds of greed; life does not consist in an abundance of possessions.” And he told them this parable: “The ground of a certain rich man yielded an abundant harvest. He thought to himself, ‘What shall I do? I have no place to store my crops.’ “Then he said, ‘This is what I’ll do. I will tear down my barns and build bigger ones, and there I will store my surplus grain. And I’ll say to myself, “You have plenty of grain laid up for many years. Take life easy; eat, drink and be merry.”’ “But God said to him, ‘You fool! This very night your life will be demanded from you. Then who will get what you have prepared for yourself?’ “This is how it will be with whoever stores up things for themselves but is not rich toward God.”

Proper SCALES: God doesn’t measure SUCCESS the way we measure SUCCESS.

MORE doesn’t make you BETTER, it makes you more of what you ALREADY ARE.

Ecclesiastes 2:11 Yet when I surveyed all that my hands had done and what I had toiled to achieve, everything was meaningless, a chasing after the wind; nothing was gained under the sun.

Proper PERSPECTIVE: God is our SOURCE.

Deuteronomy 8:17-18 You may say to yourself, “My power and the strength of my hands have produced this wealth for me.”But remember the Lord your God, for it is he who gives you the ability to produce wealth, and so confirms his covenant, which he swore to your ancestors, as it is today.

Proper MANAGEMENT: Do you have a PLAN?

Proverbs 21:20 The wise store up choice food and olive oil, but fools gulp theirs down.

1. Face the FACTS.

Psalm 51:5-6 MSG I’ve been out of step with you for a long time, in the wrong since before I was born. What you’re after is truth from the inside out.

2. Create a PLAN.

Proverbs 16:3 Commit to the Lord whatever you do, and he will establish your plans.

3. Start TODAY.

James 1:22-25 Do not merely listen to the word, and so deceive yourselves. Do what it says. Anyone who listens to the word but does not do what it says is like someone who looks at his face in a mirror and, after looking at himself, goes away and immediately forgets what he looks like.But whoever looks intently into the perfect law that gives freedom, and continues in it—not forgetting what they have heard, but doing it—they will be blessed in what they do.

Luke 17:1 HCSB “Offenses will certainly come…”

· It’s not “BLOWUP”

· It’s not “GUESSWHAT”

Proverbs 12:28 A perverse man stirs up dissension, and a gossip separates close friends.

· It’s not “SOWHAT”

1. Realize it AFFECTS my RELATIONSHIP with God

Luke 6:37-38 GNB “Do not judge others, and God will not judge you; do not condemn others, and God will not condemn you; forgive others, and God will forgive you… The measure you use for others is the one that God will use for you.”

2. ACKNOWLEDGE my HURTS

Psalm 39:2-3 NCV So I kept very quiet…but I became even more upset. I became very angry inside, and as I thought about it, my anger burned.

James 5:16 Therefore confess your sins to each other and pray for each other so that you may be healed. The prayer of a righteous person is powerful and effective.

3. PRAY

Matthew 5:43-44 “You have heard that it was said, ‘Love your neighbor and hate your enemy.’ But I tell you, love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you,

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

4. DEAL with the ROOT: REJECTION

Acts 8:23 For I see that you are full of bitterness and captive to sin.”

Acts 3:19 Repent, then, and turn to God, so that your sins may be wiped out, that times of refreshing may come from the Lord,

Romans 12:2a Don’t copy the behavior and customs of this world, but let God transform you into a new person by changing the way you think.

John 10:10 The thief’s purpose is to steal and kill and destroy. My purpose is to give them a rich and satisfying life.

Luke 4:18-19 “The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, for he has anointed me to bring Good News to the poor. He has sent me to proclaim that captives will be released, that the blind will see, that the oppressed will be set free, and that the time of the Lord’s favor has come.

I John 3:8b NIV The reason the Son of God appeared was to destroy the devil’s work.

2 Corinthians 10:3-5 For though we live in the world, we do not wage war as the world does. The weapons we fight with are not the weapons of the world. On the contrary, they have divine power to demolish strongholds. We demolish arguments and every pretension that sets itself up against the knowledge of God, and we take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ.

Luke 11:21-22 MSG “When a strong man, armed to the teeth, stands guard in his front yard, his property is safe and sound. But what if a stronger man comes along with superior weapons? Then he’s beaten at his own game, the arsenal that gave him such confidence hauled off, and his precious possessions plundered.

1. Take back your THOUGHTLIFE.

Romans 8:5-6 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. So letting your sinful nature control your mind leads to death. But letting the Spirit control your mind leads to life and peace.

2. IDENTIFY the LIE.

John 8:44a NIV When he (devil) lies, he speaks his native language, for he is a liar and the father of lies.

3. REPLACE the lie with God’s TRUTH.

Ephesians 6:10-18Finally, be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power.Put on the full armor of God, so that you can take your stand against the devil’s schemes…(take) the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God. And pray…

Joshua 1:1010 So Joshua ordered the officers of the people: 11 “Go through the camp and tell the people, ‘Get your provisions ready. Three days from now you will cross the Jordan here to go in and take possession of the land the Lord your God is giving you for your own.’” 1. WE HAVE TO PREPARE Proverbs 24:27 Put your outdoor work in order and get your fields ready; after that, build your house. "Everything worth while is uphill" - John Maxwell Joshua 3 : 1-4 Early in the morning Joshua and all the Israelites set out from Shittim and went to the Jordan, where they camped before crossing over. 2 After three days the officers went throughout the camp, 3 giving orders to the people: “When you see the ark of the covenant of the Lord your God, and the Levitical priests carrying it, you are to move out from your positions and follow it. 4 Then you will know which way to go, since you have never been this way before. But keep a distance of about two thousand cubits[a] between you and the ark; do not go near it.” 2. WE HAVE TO FOLLOW 3. WE HAVE TO REMEMBER Joshua 4:1-7 When the whole nation had finished crossing the Jordan, the Lord said to Joshua, 2 “Choose twelve men from among the people, one from each tribe, 3 and tell them to take up twelve stones from the middle of the Jordan, from right where the priests are standing, and carry them over with you and put them down at the place where you stay tonight.” 4 So Joshua called together the twelve men he had appointed from the Israelites, one from each tribe, 5 and said to them, “Go over before the ark of the Lord your God into the middle of the Jordan. Each of you is to take up a stone on his shoulder, according to the number of the tribes of the Israelites, 6 to serve as a sign among you. In the future, when your children ask you, ‘What do these stones mean?’ 7 tell them that the flow of the Jordan was cut off before the ark of the covenant of the Lord. When it crossed the Jordan, the waters of the Jordan were cut off. These stones are to be a memorial to the people of Israel forever.” --------- Thank you for joining us online this weekend!

Isaiah 9:6 For a child is born to us, a son is given to us. The government will rest on his shoulders. And he will be called: Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.

John 14:27 “I am leaving you with a gift—peace of mind and heart. And the peace I give is a gift the world cannot give. So don’t be troubled or afraid.

3 types of peace:

Peace WITH God

Peace doesn’t come from what you do, it comes from what Jesus did.

Romans 5:1 Therefore, since we have been made right in God’s sight by faith, we have peace with God BECAUSE of what Jesus Christ our Lord has done for us.

Isaiah 32:17 And this righteousness will bring peace. Yes, it will bring quietness and confidence forever.

Peace WITH me.

Col 3:15 And let the peace that comes from Christ RULE in your hearts.

John 16:33 I have said these things to you,that in me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulations. But take heart; I have overcome the world.

Deuteronomy 31:6 Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid or terrified because of them, for the Lord your God goes with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you.”

Phil 4:7 Then you will experience God’s peace, which exceeds anything we can understand. His peace will guard your hearts and minds as you live in Christ Jesus.

Peace with others.

Ephesians 4:2-3 Be completely humble and gentle; be patient, bearing with one another in love. Make every effort to keep the unity of the Spirit through the bond of peace.

The wonder of Christmas is that it changes EVERYTHING for EVERYONE.

Unexpected + Undeserved=WONDER

Galatians 4:4 But when the right time came, God sent his Son, born of a woman,

subject to the law.

Christmas is a reminder that our God not only makes PROMISES but that

he FULFILLS them.

God is

God was

God will be…

With me.

Matthew 2:1-2 Jesus was born in Bethlehem in Judea, during the reign of King

Herod. About that time some wise men from eastern lands arrived in Jerusalem,

asking, “Where is the newborn king of the Jews? We saw his star as it rose, and we

have come to worship him.”

Matthew 2:7-11,16 Then Herod called for a private meeting with the wise men,

and he learned from them the time when the star first appeared. Then he told them,

“Go to Bethlehem and search carefully for the child. And when you find him,

come back and tell me so that I can go and worship him, too!” After this interview

the wise men went their way. And the star they had seen in the east guided them to

Bethlehem. It went ahead of them and stopped over the place where the child

was. When they saw the star, they were filled with joy! They entered the house and

saw the child with his mother, Mary, and they bowed down and worshiped him.

Then they opened their treasure chests and gave him gifts of gold, frankincense,

and myrrh. Herod was furious when he realized that the wise men had outwitted

him. He sent soldiers to kill all the boys in and around Bethlehem who were two

years old and under.

Christmas is a reminder that Jesus isn’t AFRAID of our MESS.
Christmas is a reminder that BROKEN things can be made BEAUTIFUL

again.

Psalm 34:18 The Lord is close to the brokenhearted; he rescues those whose spirits

are crushed.

Jesus is at His best when our BROKENESS is at its WORST.

Isaiah 53:4-5 Yet it was our weaknesses he carried; it was our sorrows that

weighed him down. And we thought his troubles were a punishment from God, a

punishment for his own sins! But he was pierced for our rebellion, crushed for our

sins. He was beaten so we could be whole. He was whipped so we could be healed.

Luke 10:30-37 Jesus replied with a story: “A Jewish man was traveling fromJerusalem down to Jericho, and he was attacked by bandits. They stripped him of

his clothes, beat him up, and left him half dead beside the road. “By chance a priest

came along. But when he saw the man lying there, he crossed to the other side of

the road and passed him by. A Temple assistant walked over and looked at him

lying there, but he also passed by on the other side. “Then a despised Samaritan

came along, and when he saw the man, he felt compassion for him. Going over to

him, the Samaritan soothed his wounds with olive oil and wine and bandaged

them. Then he put the man on his own donkey and took him to an inn, where he

took care of him. The next day he handed the innkeeper two silver coins, telling

him, ‘Take care of this man. If his bill runs higher than this, I’ll pay you the next

time I’m here.’ “Now which of these three would you say was a neighbor to the

man who was attacked by bandits?” Jesus asked. The man replied, “The one who

showed him mercy.” Then Jesus said, “Yes, now go and do the same.”

PEOPLE are our PURSUIT.

PEOPLE are our PROBLEM.

PEOPLE are out PAIN.

PEOPLE are our PURSUIT.

John 10:10 The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that

they may have life, and have it to the full.

You might be DOWN, but you are not OUT.

HOPE = things can CHANGE.

God’s PEOPLE are His solution to man’s PROBLEMS.

2 Corinthians 5:20 So we are Christ’s ambassadors; God is making his appeal

through us. We speak for Christ when we plead, “Come back to God!”

God never consults our PEDIGREE to see if we have PURPOSE.

Luke 10:33 “Then a despised Samaritan came along, and when he saw the man, he

felt compassion for him.

People deserve our COMPASSION.

PRAYER deposits PASSION.

Where there is a lack of PASSION there is usually a lack of PRAYER.

Matthew 9:36 When he saw the crowds, he had compassion on them because they

were confused and helpless, like sheep without a shepherd.

Luke 10:34 Going over to him, the Samaritan soothed his wounds with olive oil

and wine and bandaged them.

People deserve our CARE.

“Sympathy is no substitute for ACTION.”—David Livingston

People do not care what you KNOW, until they know that you CARE.

Don’t let the frustration of not being able to do EVERYTHING keep you

from doing SOMETHING.

James 4:17 If anyone, then, knows the good they ought to do and doesn’t do it, it is

sin for them.

Luke 10:34-35 Then he put the man on his own donkey and took him to an inn,

where he took care of him. The next day he handed the innkeeper two silver coins,

telling him, ‘Take care of this man. If his bill runs higher than this, I’ll pay you the

next time I’m here.’

People deserve our long-term COMMITMENT.

2 Peter 3:9 The Lord isn’t really being slow about his promise, as some people

think. No, he is being patient for your sake. He does not want anyone to be

destroyed, but wants everyone to repent.

Matthew 28:19-20 Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them

in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them

to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to

the very end of the age.”

Psalm 39:4-5 (NLT) “Lord, remind me how brief my time on earth will be. Remind me that my days are numbered, and that my life is fleeing away. {5} My life is no longer than the width of my hand. An entire lifetime is just a moment to you; human existence is but a breath.”

Psalm 112:6 (NIV) …a righteous man will be remembered forever.

1 Timothy 6:11-12, 17–19 (NLT): But you, Timothy, are a man of God; so run from all these evil things. Pursue righteousness and a godly life, along with faith, love, perseverance, and gentleness. 12 Fight the good fight for the true faith. Hold tightly to the eternal life to which God has called you…

Live With Integrity

Proverbs 22:1 (NIV) A good name is more desirable than great riches; to be esteemed is better than silver or gold.

· Tell the Truth

· Keep our word

· Admit when you’re wrong

Psalm 101:2 (The Living Bible) I will try to walk a blameless path, but how I need your help, especially in my own home…

1 Timothy 6:17-18 (NLT) Teach those who are rich in this world not to be proud and not to trust in their money, which is so unreliable. Their trust should be in God, who richly gives us all we need for our enjoyment. 18 Tell them to use their money to do good. They should be rich in good works and generous to those in need, always being ready to share with others.

Recognize Who You Are

Maintain an eternal perspective

1 Timothy 6:17-19 (NLT) Their trust should be in God, who richly gives us all we need for our enjoyment. 18 Tell them to use their money to do good. They should be rich in good works and generous to those in need, always being ready to share with others. 19 By doing this they will be storing up their treasure as a good foundation for the future so that they may experience true life.

Putting God FIRST.

Matthew 6:33 NKJV But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these thingsshall be added to you.

Man says, “Chase after your DREAMS.”

God says, “Chase after ME, and watch me fulfill your DREAMS.”

Exodus 20:1-3 Then God gave the people all these instructions:“I am the Lord your God, who rescued you from the land of Egypt, the place of your slavery.“You must not have any other god but me.

BLESSING follows ORDER.

T—IME

Psalm 90:12 Teach us to number our days, that we may gain a heart of wisdom.

More important than PRIORITIZING your schedule is to schedule your PRIORITIES.

Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday

Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday

Practical Application: Make CHURCH a non-negotiable.

T—ALENT

Romans 12:6a We have different gifts, according to the grace given to each of us.

Practical Application: SERVE a purpose bigger than YOURSELF.

T—REASURE

SLIDE-Maybe money doesn’t buy happiness so I am accepting donations to test that theory.

Matthew 6:21 For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.

Practical Application: GIVE to God the first by TITHING.

Deuteronomy 14:23 Bring this tithe to the designated place of worship—the place the Lord your God chooses for his name to be honored

Proverbs 3:9 Honor the Lord with your wealth, with the first fruits of all your crops;

Malachi 3:10 Bring the whole tithe into the storehouse, that there may be food in my house. Test me in this,” says the Lord Almighty, “and see if I will not throw open the floodgates of heaven and pour out so much blessing that there will not be room enough to store it.

90% with God’s blessing always goes further than 100% without His blessing.

When God gets the BEST, He blesses the REST!

Is God FIRST in your HEART?

BIG IDEA: God’s heart is all about the one, but it often begins with each of us choosing to be the one.

“The Lord saw how great the wickedness of the human race had become on the earth, and that every inclination of the thoughts of the human heart was only evil all the time. The Lord regretted that he had made human beings on the earth, and his heart was deeply troubled. So the Lord said, “I will wipe from the face of the earth the human race I have created—and with them the animals, the birds and the creatures that move along the ground—for I regret that I have made them.” But Noah found favor in the eyes of the LORD.” Genesis 6:5-8 NIV

Your family’s here and now may hinge on your faith and favor - don’t be dissuaded or discouraged!

“...choose this day whom you will serve, whether the gods your ancestors served in the region beyond the River, or the gods of the Amorites in whose land you are living; but as for me and my household, we will serve the Lord!” Joshua 24:15 NIV

Generations beyond our own deserve our dedication to the cause of CHRIST.

“This is the sign of the covenant which I make between Me and you, and every living creature that is with you, for perpetual generations.” Genesis 9:12 NKJV

Our availability, not our age, is what keeps us from being used greatly by God

“Don't let anyone look down on you because you are young, but set an example for the believers in speech, in life, in love, in faith and in purity.” 1 Timothy 4:12 NIV

“Noah was six hundred years old when the flood of waters came upon the earth.” Genesis 7:6 NIV

Being the first to follow the Lord is worth the risk.

“By faith Noah, when warned about things not yet seen, in holy fear built an ark to save his family. By his faith he condemned the world and became heir of the righteousness that comes by faith.” Hebrews 11:7 NIV

1 Samuel 17:38-39a Then Saul dressed David in his own tunic. He put a coat of

armor on him and a bronze helmet on his head. David fastened on his sword over

the tunic and tried walking around, because he was not used to them.

Break the silence

1 Samuel 17:39b “I cannot go in these”, he said to Saul, “because i am not used to

them” So he took them off.

2 Corinthians 10:5 We demolish arguments and every pretension that sets itself up

against the knowledge of God, and we take captive every thought to make it

obedient to Christ.

Embrace who YOU are

1 Samuel 17:40 Then he took his staff in his hand, chose five smooth stones from

the stream, put them in the pouch of his shepherd’s bag and, with his sling in his

hand, approached the Philistine.

Proverbs 3:5-6 Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own

understanding; in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths

straight.

1 Samuel 17:34-36 But David said to Saul, “Your servant has been keeping his

father’s sheep. When a lion or a bear came and carried off a sheep from the flock, I

went after it, struck it and rescued the sheep from its mouth. When it turned on me,

I seized it by its hair, struck it and killed it. Your servant has killed both the lion

and the bear; this uncircumcised Philistine will be like one of them, because he has

defied the armies of the living God.

Everything you need for what is next in your life is going to come out of your

faithfulness in what you do now.

1 Samuel 17: 41-44 Meanwhile, the Philistine, with his shield bearer in front of

him, kept coming closer to David. He looked David over and saw that he was little

more than a boy, glowing with health and handsome, and he despised him. He said

to David, “Am I a dog, that you come at me with sticks?” And the Philistine cursed

David by his gods. “Come here,” he said, “and I’ll give your flesh to the birds and

the wild animals!”

Move forward in faith

1 Samuel 17: 45-46 David said to the Philistine, “You come against me with sword

and spear and javelin, but I come against you in the name of the Lord Almighty,

the God of the armies of Israel, whom you have defied. This day the Lord will

deliver you into my hands, and I’ll strike you down and cut off your head. This

very day I will give the carcasses of the Philistine army to the birds and the wild

animals, and the whole world will know that there is a God in Israel.

1 Samuel 17:48 As the Philistine moved closer to attack him, David ran quickly

toward the battle line to meet him.

1 Samuel 17:37 The Lord who rescued me from the paw of the lion and the paw of

the bear will rescue me from the hand of this Philistine.”

Mark 10:46-52 Then they reached Jericho, and as Jesus and his disciples left town, a

large crowd followed him. A blind beggar named Bartimaeus (son of Timaeus) was

sitting beside the road. When Bartimaeus heard that Jesus of Nazareth was nearby, he

began to shout, “Jesus, Son of David, have mercy on me!” “Be quiet!” many of the

people yelled at him. But he only shouted louder, “Son of David, have mercy on me!”

When Jesus heard him, he stopped and said, “Tell him to come here.” So they called

the blind man. “Cheer up,” they said. “Come on, he’s calling you!” Bartimaeus threw

aside his coat, jumped up, and came to Jesus. “What do you want me to do for you?”

Jesus asked. “My Rabbi,” the blind man said, “I want to see!” And Jesus said to

him, “Go, for your faith has healed you.” Instantly the man could see, and he followed

Jesus down the road.

PRAY FIRST

HOW you pray determines WHO you become.

How To Pray:

Pray SPECIFIC

Mark 10:47 When Bartimaeus heard that Jesus of Nazareth was nearby, he began to

shout, “Jesus, Son of David, have mercy on me!”

Mark 10:51 “What do you want me to do for you?” Jesus asked. “My Rabbi,” the

blind man said, “I want to see!”

What do you want Jesus to do for you?

It takes FAITH to get SPECIFIC.

What are you praying for in the last quarter of the year?

Spiritual, Relational, Financial, Health, Career, Other

Pray OUT LOUD

Mark 10:47 When Bartimaeus heard that Jesus of Nazareth was nearby, he began to

shout, “Jesus, Son of David, have mercy on me!”

Our words have the POWER to change THINGS.

Mark 11:22-24 Then Jesus said to the disciples, “Have faith in God. I tell you the truth,

you can say to this mountain, ‘May you be lifted up and thrown into the sea,’ and it

will happen. But you must really believe it will happen and have no doubt in your

heart. I tell you, you can pray for anything, and if you believe that you’ve received it, it will be yours.

Praying out loud keeps me FOCUSED.

Pray BOLDLY

Hebrews 4:16 So let us come boldly to the throne of our gracious God. There we will receive his mercy, and we will find grace to help us when we need it most.

Mark 10:48-51 “Be quiet!” many of the people yelled at him. But he only shouted louder, “Son of David, have mercy on me!”When Jesus heard him, he stopped and said, “Tell him to come here.” So they called the blind man. “Cheer up,” they said. “Come on, he’s calling you!” Bartimaeus threw aside his coat, jumped up, and came to Jesus. “What do you want me to do for you?” Jesus asked. “My Rabbi,” the blind man said, “I want to see!”

I John 5:14-15 This is the confidence we have in approaching God: that if we ask

anything according to his will, he hears us. And if we know that he hears

us—whatever we ask—we know that we have what we asked of him.

“Bold prayers honor God, and God honors bold prayers. God isn’t offended by

your biggest dreams or boldest prayers. He is offended by anything less. If your

prayers aren’t IMPOSSIBLE to you, they are INSULTING to God.”—Mark

Batterson

Pray BELIEVING (TRUSTING)

The devil’s greatest WEAPON against your prayer life is DOUBT.

James 5:16 Confess your sins to each other and pray for each other so that you may be

healed. The earnest prayer of a righteous person has great power and produces

wonderful results.

UNFAIR ADVANTAGE: something or some EVENT that gives you a better chance at SUCCESS.

Genesis 37:5 Joseph had a dream, and when he told it to his brothers, they hated

him all the more.

We dream BIG because we have a big GOD.

Genesis 37:3 Now Israel loved Joseph more than any of his other sons, because he

had been born to him in his old age; and he made an ornate robe for him.

God doesn’t usually promote through PEOPLE but through PROBLEMS.

Genesis 37:5 Joseph had a dream, and when he told it to his brothers, they hated

him all the more.

Genesis 37:24 Then they took him and cast him into a pit. And the

pit was empty; there was no water in it.

Unfair Advantage #1: REJECTION

Man’s REJECTION will move you in God’s DIRECTION.

The PIT is a part of your story, it is not the END of your story.

Genesis 50:20 You intended to harm me, but God intended it for good to

accomplish what is now being done, the saving of many lives.

Genesis 39:3-4 When his master saw that the Lord was with him and that

the Lord gave him success in everything he did, Joseph found favor in his eyes and

became his attendant. Potiphar put him in charge of his household, and he

entrusted to his care everything he owned.

Unfair Advantage #2: HARD WORK

“Work without vision is drudgery. Vision without work is dreaming. Work

plus vision—this is destiny.”—Gordon B. Hinckley

Colossians 3:23 Whatever you do, work at it with all of your heart, as working for

the Lord, not for human masters.

Matthew 6:14 Your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you.

Genesis 39:6-8 Now Joseph was well-built and handsome, and after a while his

master’s wife took notice of Joseph and said, “Come to bed with me!” But he

refused.

Genesis 39:12 She caught him by his cloak and said, “Come to bed with me!” But

he left his cloak in her hand and ran out of the house.

Unfair Advantage #3: INTEGRITY

Proverbs 22:1 A good name is more desirable than great riches; to be esteemed is

better than silver or gold.

I Corinthians 6:18 Flee from sexual immorality.

“Integrity is the glue that holds our way of life together. We must constantly

strive to keep our integrity intact. Wealth is lost, nothing is lost; when health

is lost, something is lost; when CHARACTER is lost, ALL is lost.”—Billy

Graham

Genesis 39:20-22 Joseph’s master took him and put him in prison, the place where

the king’s prisoners were confined. But while Joseph was there in the

prison, the Lord was with him; he showed him kindness and granted him favor in

the eyes of the prison warden. So the warden put Joseph in charge of all those held

in the prison, and he was made responsible for all that was done there.

Unfair Advantage #4: Not QUITTING

Mark 10:13-16 One day some parents brought their children to Jesus so he could

touch and bless them. But the disciples scolded the parents for bothering

him. When Jesus saw what was happening, he was angry with his disciples. He

said to them, “Let the children come to me. Don’t stop them! For the Kingdom of

God belongs to those who are like these children. I tell you the truth, anyone who

doesn’t receive the Kingdom of God like a child will never enter it.” Then he took

the children in his arms and placed his hands on their heads and blessed them.

Loving TOUCH.

Mark 10:13 People were bringing little children to Jesus to have him touch them…

haptomai (hap’-tom-ahee); to attach oneself to, embrace or touch.

Mark 6:56 And wherever he went-into villages, towns or countryside-they placed

the sick in the marketplaces. They begged him to let them touch even the edge of

his cloak, and all who touched him were healed.

Abundant TIME.

Mark 10:13-14 People were bringing little children to Jesus to have him touch

them, but the disciples rebuked them. When Jesus saw this, he was indignant. He

said to them, “Let the little children come to me…

James 4:14 What is your life? You are a mist that appears for a little while and then

vanishes.

“Your greatest contribution to the kingdom of God may not be something you do

but someone you raise.”—Andy Stanley

Encouraging TALK.

Mark 10:16 And he took the children in his arms, put his hands on them and

blessed them.

Matthew 3:17 And a voice from heaven said, “This is my Son, whom I love; with

him I am well pleased.”

COMMUNICATION.

Communication is the essence of relationships.—Dr. Gary Smalley

Ephesians 5:31-32 As the Scriptures say, “A man leaves his father and mother and

is joined to his wife, and the two are united into one.” This is a great mystery, but it

is an illustration of the way Christ and the church are one.

Remember you’re on the SAME TEAM.

Keys to communication:

Communicate REGULARLY.

QUESTIONS TO ASK:

Share one win in the following areas: Work, Marriage, Parenting, Health, God,

Other

What’s the biggest challenge you’ve faced this week?
What’s the one thing I can do to serve you or honor you well this week?
If we do nothing else right as a family this week, what’s the one thing you think

we should be sure to focus on to accomplish?

What’s one thing you’re afraid of right now?
What’s one thing you’re really excited about right now?
What’s something you’ve been dreaming about lately for our future?
Share something special that you noticed about each other this week–something

that inspired you, you are proud of, or grateful for that the other person did.

What’s it like being on the other side of me?
What is one thing that God has been teaching you lately?

CHECK-UP QUESTIONS:

What is one thing that I am doing really well in, in our marriage?
What is one thing I can do to improve my role in the marriage?
What did I do this week to make you feel loved?
Communicate EFFECTIVELY.

Proverbs 18:21 Death and life are in the power of the tongue, and those who love it

will eat its fruits.

Ephesians 4:32 Be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, as

God in Christ forgave you.

The number one killer of relationships is: SELFISHNESS

Selfishness: Being concerned with one’s OWN interests above the interests of

OTHERS.

Six Signs of Selfishness:

-Pursuing personal gain over the gain of the relationship.

-Not attending to the needs of others.

-Feeling entitled to more than what the other person can offer.

-Lack of empathy.

-Its my way or the highway.

-Avoiding sacrifice.

James 3:16 For where there is jealousy and selfish ambition exists, there is disorder

and every evil thing.

The results of selfishness:

-Distance—people do not want to be around you

-Resentment—those closet harbor frustrations with you

-Disagreements—small solvable problems turn into massive fights

-Doubt—trust is questioned

“Selfishness has never been ADMIRED.”—C.S. Lewis

Selfishness is a CANCER that must be intentionally REMOVED from a

relationship for it to survive.

Philippians 2:1-5 Therefore if you have any encouragement from being united with

Christ, if any comfort from his love, if any common sharing in the Spirit, if any

tenderness and compassion, then make my joy complete by being like-minded, having the same love, being one in spirit and of one mind. Do nothing out

of selfish ambition or vain conceit. Rather, in humility value others above

yourselves, not looking to your own interests but each of you to the interests of the

others. In your relationships with one another, have the same mindset as Christ

Jesus:

Remember how God REDEEMED you.

Philippians 2:1-2 Therefore if you have any encouragement from being united with

Christ, if any comfort from his love, if any common sharing in the Spirit, if any

tenderness and compassion, then make my joy complete by being like-

minded, having the same love, being one in spirit and of one mind.

Romans 12:3 Do not think of yourself more highly than you ought, but rather think

of yourself with sober judgment, in accordance with the faith God has distributed

to each of you.

Selfishness is SELF-IDOLATRY.

When I FOCUS on His grace, I can’t help but feel GRATEFUL.

When I FORGET His grace, I can’t help but feel ENTITLED.

Seek to SERVE others.

A perfect marriage is two selfless people working hard to out-serve the other

person.

Philippians 2:3 Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit. Rather, in

humility value others above yourselves,

The opposite of being selfish is being a SERVANT.

I Corinthians 10:24 No one should seek their own good, but the good of others.

When is the last time you intentionally served someone you loved?

Selfishness is a DRAIN in the relationship.

Service is a DEPOSIT in the relationship.

Thank you for tuning in online this weekend to our first message in the series, "Love Handles". Genesis 3:1-13 The serpent was the shrewdest of all the wild animals the Lord God had made. One day he asked the woman, “Did God really say you must not eat the fruit from any of the trees in the garden?” “Of course we may eat fruit from the trees in the garden,” the woman replied. “It’s only the fruit from the tree in the middle of the garden that we are not allowed to eat. God said, ‘You must not eat it or even touch it; if you do, you will die.’” “You won’t die!” the serpent replied to the woman. “God knows that your eyes will be opened as soon as you eat it, and you will be like God, knowing both good and evil.” The woman was convinced. She saw that the tree was beautiful and its fruit looked delicious, and she wanted the wisdom it would give her. So she took some of the fruit and ate it. Then she gave some to her husband, who was with her, and he ate it, too. At that moment their eyes were opened, and they suddenly felt shame at their nakedness. So they sewed fig leaves together to cover themselves. When the cool evening breezes were blowing, the man and his wife heard the Lord God walking about in the garden. So they hid from the Lord God among the trees. Then the Lord God called to the man, “Where are you?” He replied, “I heard you walking in the garden, so I hid. I was afraid because I was naked.” “Who told you that you were naked?” the Lord God asked. “Have you eaten from the tree whose fruit I commanded you not to eat?” The man replied, “It was the woman you gave me who gave me the fruit, and I ate it.” Then the Lord God asked the woman, “What have you done?” “The serpent deceived me,” she replied. “That’s why I ate it.”

Genesis 3:16-17 Then he said to the woman, “I will sharpen the pain of your pregnancy, and in pain you will give birth. And you will desire to control your husband, but he will rule over you. And to the man he said, “Since you listened to your wife and ate from the tree whose fruit I commanded you not to eat, the ground is cursed because of you.

All your life you will struggle to scratch a living from it. When we blame others, we get EMBITTERED.

When we accept responsibility, we get EMPOWERED.

Accepting blame isn’t about God FAULTING you, it’s about Him FREEING you.

Own the FACT that you bring ISSUES into your relationships.

Romans 3:23 For everyone has sinned; we all fall short of God’s glorious standard.

Getting HONEST is always the first step in getting HEALTHY.

Stop trying to FIND the right one, and instead BECOME the right one.

Genesis 2:18 Then the Lord God said, “It is not good for the man to be alone. I will make a helper who is just right for him.”

Being alone and being single are very DIFFERENT.

Alone-ISOLATION Single-IDENTITY

Genesis 2:18 Then the Lord God said, “It is not good for the man to be alone. I will make a helperwho is just right for him.” 3. Do your part to build relationships GOD’S WAY instead of CULTURE’S WAY.

Proverbs 14:12 There is a way that appears to be right, but in the end it leads to death. It it's to BE, it's up to ME.

2 Corinthians 12:9 Each time he said, “My grace is all you need. My power works best in weakness.” So now I am glad to boast about my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ can work through me.

Luke 12:25-26 Can all your worries add a single moment to your life? And if worry can’t accomplish a little thing like that, what’s the use of worrying over bigger things? How do we overcome the weight of anxiety?

Matthew 11:28-30 Then Jesus said, “Come to me, all of you who are weary and carry heavy burdens, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you. Let me teach you, because I am humble and gentle at heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy to bear, and the burden I give you is light.”

DEPRESSION: A mood disorder characterized by anhedonia, extreme sadness, poor concentration, sleep problems, loss of appetite and feelings of guilt, hopelessness and helplessness.

It is OK to not be OK, but it's not ok to

“We were never designed for the sedentary, indoor, socially isolated, fast-food laden, sleep deprived, frenzied pace of modern life.”—Stephen Ilardi

Lamentations 3:17-20 NIV I have been deprived of peace; I have forgotten what prosperity is. So I say, “My splendor is gone and all that I had hoped from the Lord.” I remember my affliction and my wandering, the bitterness and the gall. I well remember them, and my soul is downcast within me.

2 Corinthians 1:8 NIV We do not want you to be uninformed, brothers and sisters, about the troubles we experienced in the province of Asia. We were under great pressure, far beyond our ability to endure, so that we despaired of life itself.

I Kings 19:1-4 NLT When Ahab got home, he told Jezebel everything Elijah had done, including the way he had killed all the prophets of Baal. So Jezebel sent this message to Elijah: “May the gods strike me and even kill me if by this time tomorrow I have not killed you just as you killed them.” Elijah was afraid and fled for his life. He went to Beersheba, a town in Judah, and he left his servant there. Then he went on alone into the wilderness, traveling all day. He sat down under a solitary broom tree and prayed that he might die. “I have had enough, Lord,” he said. “Take my life, for I am no better than my ancestors who have already died.”

FAULTY THINKING

Philippians 4:8-9 And now, dear brothers and sisters, one final thing. Fix your thoughts on what is true, and honorable, and right, and pure, and lovely, and admirable. Think about things that are excellent and worthy of praise. Keep putting into practice all you learned and received from me—everything you heard from me and saw me doing. Then the God of peace will be with you.

ISOLATION

Ecclesiastes 4:12 A person standing alone can be attacked and defeated, but two can stand back-to-back and conquer. Three are even better, for a triple-braided cord is not easily broken.

Led by FEELINGS

Hebrews 4:12 For the word of God is alive and powerful. It is sharper than the sharpest two-edged sword, cutting between soul and spirit, between joint and marrow. It exposes our innermost thoughts and desires.

John 8:32 And you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.”

COMPARISON

Galatians 1:10 Obviously, I’m not trying to win the approval of people, but of God. If pleasing people were my goal, I would not be Christ’s servant. Some practical things for us to learn today about God is saying:

Get healthy PHYSICALLY.

90% of snow skiing accidents happen at the end. When researched it was found that the cause of this was simply people are OVERCONFIDENT and WEARY.

Pour my HEART out to God.

Matthew 11:28-29 Then Jesus said, “Come to me, all of you who are weary and carry heavy burdens, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you. Let me teach you, because I am humble and gentle at heart, and you will find rest for your souls.

Experience the POWER and PRESENCE of God.

Psalm 46:10a “Be still, and know that I am God!

Worship shifts our focus from life’s DARKNESS to God’s GOODNESS.

Jeremiah 29:11-14 For I know the plans I have for you,” says the Lord. “They are plans for good and not for disaster, to give you a future and a hope. In those days when you pray, I will listen. If you look for me wholeheartedly, you will find me. I will be found by you,” says the Lord. “I will end your captivity and restore your fortunes.Thank you for joining us online this weekend!

Studies have shown that we can think up to 80,000 thoughts in a given day, and out of those thoughts, 80% of them are NEGATIVE.

Most of life’s battles are WON or LOST in the mind.

2 Corinthians 10:3-4 For though we live in the world, we do not wage war as the world does. The weapons we fight with are not the weapons of the world. On the contrary, they have divine power to demolish strongholds.

Power—dunamis—EXPLOSIVE, miraculous power of God (DYNAMITE)

Stronghold—ochuroma—a military term for a FORTRESS built in the MIDDLE of the city.

2 Corinthians 10:5 We demolish arguments and every pretension that sets itself up against the knowledge of God, and we take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ.

Proverbs 23:7 For as he thinks in his heart, so is he. As the MIND goes, the MAN follows. Our lives are always MOVING in the direction of our STRONGEST thoughts. Whether you think you can or you can’t, you’re right.—Henry Ford

AUDIT your thoughts.

THINK about what you are THINKING about. We cannot DEFEAT what we do not DEFINE. Questions to ask yourself:Are my thoughts NEGATIVE?Are my thoughts WORLDLY?Are my thoughts CRITICAL?

Philippians 4:8 Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is TRUE, whatever is NOBLE, whatever is RIGHT, whatever is PURE, whatever is LOVELY, whatever is ADMIRABLE, if anything is EXCELLENT or PRAISEWORTHY THINK about such things.

2 Corinthians 10:5 We demolish arguments and every pretension that sets itself up against the knowledge of God, and we take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ.

ARGUE with your thoughts.

Romans 12:21 Do not be overcome by evil, but you overcome evil with good. You can’t argue with the BAD thought if you don’t know the GOD thought.

John 8:32 Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free. The greatest WEAPON to overcome your negative thoughts is to KNOW what God thinks about you.

Jeremiah 29:11 For I know the thoughts that I think towards you, says the Lord, thoughts of peace and not evil, to give you a future and a hope.

2 Corinthians 10:5 We demolish arguments and every pretension that sets itself up against the knowledge of God, and we take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ.

ASK God to transform our thoughts.

Romans 12:1 Therefore, I urge you brothers and sisters, in view of God’s mercy, to offer your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to God—this is your true and proper worship.

Romans 12:2 Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind.

Prayer invites God to DEFEAT the thoughts that are DEFEATING you.

I Peter 5:6-7 Humble yourselves, therefore, under Gods mighty hand, that he may lift you up in due time. Cast all your anxiety on Him because he cares for you.

We want to make it HARD for people to go to hell by making it EASY for them to go to church so they can experience, know and follow Jesus.

HEALTHY people grow

Philippians 3:10-14 I want to know Christ—yes, to know the power of his resurrection and participation in his sufferings, becoming like him in his death, and so, somehow, attaining to the resurrection from the dead. Not that I have already obtained all this, or have already arrived at my goal, but I press on to take hold of that for which Christ Jesus took hold of me. Brothers and sisters, I do not consider myself yet to have taken hold of it. But one thing I do: Forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead, I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus.

Read your BIBLE

Psalm 119:105 “Your word is a lamp for my feet, a light on my path.”

Practice CONFESSION and REPENTANCE

Ezekiel 14:1-5 “Some of the elders of Israel came to me and sat down in front of me. Then the word of the Lord came to me: “Son of man, these men have set up idols in their hearts and put wicked stumbling blocks before their faces. Should I let them inquire of me at all? Therefore speak to them and tell them, ‘This is what the Sovereign Lord says: When any of the Israelites set up idols in their hearts and put a wicked stumbling block before their faces and then go to a prophet, I the Lord will answer them myself in keeping with their great idolatry. I will do this to recapture the hearts of the people of Israel, who have all deserted me for their idols.’"

COMMUNITY

James 5:16 Confess your sins to each other and pray for each other so that you may be healed. The earnest prayer of a righteous person has great power and produces wonderful results.

GIVING

Matthew 6:21 For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.

Matthew 6:24 “No one can serve two masters. Either you will hate the one and love the other, or you will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve both God and money.”

John 3:16 For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.

Sharing CHRIST

Philemon 1:6 ESV and I pray that the sharing of your faith may become effective for the full knowledge of every good thing that is in us for the sake of Christ.

SERVING

Luke 22:19-20 And he took bread, gave thanks and broke it, and gave it to them, saying, “This is my body given for you; do this in remembrance of me.” In the same way, after the supper he took the cup, saying, “This cup is the new covenant in my blood, which is poured out for you.

Matthew 20:28 just as the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many.”

VISION: We want to make it hard for people to go to hell by making it easy for them to go to church so they can experience, know and follow JESUS.

STRATEGY: EVERYONE’S welcome because NOBODY’S perfect & ANYTHING’S possible.

HEART: Loving GOD, loving PEOPLE and SHOWING IT.

Mark 12:28 One of the teachers of religious law was standing there listening to the debate. He realized that Jesus had answered well, so he asked, “Of all the commandments, which is the What is most important in your life?

Mark 12:29-30 NLT Jesus replied, “The most important commandment is this: ‘Listen, O Israel! The Lord our God is the one and only Lord. And you must love the Lord your God with all your heart, all your soul, all your mind, and all your strength.

Love GOD.

Mark 12:31 The second is equally important: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’ No other commandment is greater than these.”

Love PEOPLE. Our community in HERE exists for the purpose of the world out THERE.

Mark 12:32-34 The teacher of religious law replied, “Well said, Teacher. You have spoken the truth by saying that there is only one God and no other. And I know it is important to love him with all my heart and all my understanding and all my strength, and to love my neighbor as myself. This is more important than to offer all of the burnt offerings and sacrifices required in the law.” Realizing how much the man understood, Jesus said to him, “You are not far from the Kingdom of God.” And after that, no one dared to ask him any more questions.

You have to SHOW IT. Thank you for joining us online this weekend!

We want to make it hard for people to go to hell by making it easy for them to go to church so they can experience, know and follow JESUS. Everyone’s WELCOME, because nobody’s PERFECT and anything’s POSSIBLE.

Matthew 9:9 As Jesus was walking along, he saw a man named Matthew sitting at his tax collector’s booth. “Follow me and be my disciple,” Jesus said to him. So Matthew got up and followed him.

Religious Leaders: CHANGE and you can JOIN us.

Jesus: JOIN us and you’ll CHANGE.

Matthew 9:10-11 Later, Matthew invited Jesus and his disciples to his home as dinner guests, along with many tax collectors and other disreputable sinners. But when the Pharisees saw this, they asked his disciples, “Why does your teacher eat with such scum?”

Declare that EVERYONE’S WELCOME.

Community is at its best when it embraces both GRACE and TRUTH.

Confess that NOBODY’S PERFECT.

I am a MESS, and I need GOD.

“We are people who normally would not mix. But there exists among us a fellowship, a friendliness, and an understanding which is indescribably wonderful. We are like the passengers of a great liner the moment after rescue from shipwreck when camaraderie, joyousness and democracy pervade the vessel from steerage to Captain’s table.”—THE BIG BOOK

Galatians 3:28 There is no longer Jew or Gentile, slave or free, male and female. For you are all one in Christ Jesus.

1 John 1:8-9 If we claim we have no sin, we are only fooling ourselves and not living in the truth. 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.

Believe that ANYTHING’S POSSIBLE.

Following Jesus compels us to see people not for who they ARE TODAY but for who they could BECOME TOMORROW.

Colossians 1:28-29 So we tell others about Christ, warning everyone and teaching everyone with all the wisdom God has given us. We want to present them to God, perfect in their relationship to Christ. That’s why I work and struggle so hard, depending on Christ’s mighty power that works within me.

We want to make it HARD for people to go to hell, by making it EASY for them to go to church so they can experience, know and follow JESUS.

EXPERIENCE

Romans 10:13 For “Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.”

Romans 10:14-15 But how can they call on him to save them unless they believe in him? And how can they believe in him if they have never heard about him? And how can they hear about him unless someone tells them? And how will anyone go and tell them without being sent? That is why the Scriptures say, “How beautiful are the feet of messengers who bring good news!”

KNOW

John 17:3 And this is the way to have eternal life—to know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ, the one you sent to earth.

Ephesians 1:16-19 NIV I have not stopped giving thanks for you, remembering you in my prayers. I keep asking that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the glorious Father, may give you the Spirit of wisdom and revelation, so that you may know him better. I pray that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened in order that you may know the hope to which he has called you, the riches of his glorious inheritance in his holy people, and his incomparably great power for us who believe.

FOLLOW

Matthew 4:19 ESV And he said to them, “Follow me, and I will make you fishers of men.”

Matthew 16:24-25 Then Jesus said to his disciples, “If any of you wants to be my follower, you must turn from your selfish ways, take up your cross, and follow me. If you try to hang on to your life, you will lose it. But if you give up your life for my sake, you will save it.

Isaiah 40:31a But those who wait for the Lord will gain new strength….

3 Keys to Waiting:

Wait Actively

Isaiah 40:31a But those who wait for the Lord will gain new strength…. Ecclesiastes 4:12 And though one can overpower him who is alone, two can resist him. A cord of three strands is not quickly broken. 1 Timothy 4:15 Practice these things, immerse yourself in them, so that all may see your progress.

Waiting Time Is Not Wasted Time

Wait With Gratefulness

Philippians 4:6 Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God.

1 Thessalonians 5:18 give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus.

Wait With Trust

1 Corinthians 13:12 “We can see and understand only a little about God now, as if we were peering at his reflection in a poor mirror; but someday we are going to see him in his completeness, face-to-face. Now all that I know is hazy and blurred, but then I will see everything clearly, just as clearly as God sees into my heart right now.”

Prov 19:21 Many are the plans in a person’s heart, but it is the LORD’s purpose that prevails.

Isaiah 40:31 But those who wait for the Lord Will gain new strength and renew their power; They will lift up their wings like eagles; They will run and not become weary, They will walk and not grow tired. Thank you for joining us online this weekend!

Exodus 15:22-27 GNT “Then Moses led the people of Israel away from the Red Sea into the desert of Shur. For three days they walked through the desert, but found no water. Then they came to a place called Marah, but the water there was so bitter that they could not drink it. That is why it was named Marah. The people complained to Moses and asked, “What are we going to drink?” Moses prayed earnestly to the Lord, and the Lord showed him a piece of wood, which he threw into the water; and the water became fit to drink. There the Lord gave them laws to live by, and there he also tested them. He said, “If you will obey me completely by doing what I consider right and by keeping my commands, I will not punish you with any of the diseases that I brought on the Egyptians. I am the Lord, the one who heals you.” Next they came to Elim, where there were twelve springs and seventy palm trees; there they camped by the water.”22 Then Moses led the people of Israel away from the Red Sea into the desert of Shur. For three days they walked through the desert, but found no water. 23 Then they came to a place called Marah, but the water there was so bitter that they could not drink it. That is why it was named Marah. 24 The people complained to Moses and asked, “What are we going to drink?”

Instead of looking at the TEST as an OBSTACLE look at it as an OPPORTUNITY.

25 Moses prayed earnestly to the Lord, and the Lord showed him a piece of wood, which he threw into the water; and the water became fit to drink.

Instead of WORRYING about it, PRAY about it.

In the test God wants to PURGE us of our PAST to PREPARE us for FUTURE.

25b There the Lord gave them laws to live by, and there he also tested them. 26 He said, “If you will obey me completely by doing what I consider right and by keeping my commands, I will not punish you with any of the diseases that I brought on the Egyptians. I am the Lord, the one who heals you.” 27 Next they came to Elim, where there were twelve springs and seventy palm trees; there they camped by the water. 26b I will not punish you with any of the diseases that I brought on the Egyptians.‭‭

Proverbs‬ ‭15:10‬ ‭MSG‬‬“It’s a school of hard knocks for those who leave God’s path, a dead-end street for those who hate God’s rules.”

In the test, REMEMBER your RESOURCES.

15 minutes of Bible study
5 minutes in prayer
5 minutes in worship
Your TEST leads to a TESTIMONY.

James 1:2-3 GNT My friends, consider yourselves fortunate when all kinds of trials come your way, for you know that when your faith succeeds in facing such trials, the result is the ability to endure. 27 Then they came to Elim, where there were twelve wells of water and seventy palm trees

God SEES you, God KNOWS you, and God LOVES you.

Thank you for tuning in to hear from our Lighthouse Point Location Pastor, Brian McMillian!

Today's message is based in Hebrews 12:1-3, "Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles. And let us run with perseverancethe race marked out for us, 2 fixing our eyes on Jesus, the pioneer and perfecter of faith. For the joy set before him he endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God. 3 Consider him who endured such opposition from sinners, so that you will not grow weary and lose heart."

Freedom is Fundamental

We need to run the race that God has set before us, we need to get rid of distractions!

Put the Past in its Place

Remember the truth - 1 John 1:9, “If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness."

Psalm 103:12, "as far as the east is from the west, so far has he removed our transgressions from us"

Not Only Does He Forgive, He Forgets

Cast Your Cares on Christ

1 Peter 5:7, "Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you."

Realize that your burdens are meant to be cast.

1 Peter 5:8, "Be self-controlled and alert. Your enemy the devil prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour."

We believe that God has a purpose and a plan for your life!

2 Corinthians 10:5, "We demolish arguments and every pretension that sets itself up against the knowledge of God, and we take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ."

Fix Your Focus on Christ

Endure the Race

Hebrews 12:3, "Consider him who endured such opposition from sinners, so that you will not grow weary and lose heart."

Your race will NOT go unchallenged. Consider Christ, all that He endured

Spend time in the word, be ready for the challenges:

Daily Bible Reading - 15 minutes

Prayer - 5 minutes

Worship - 5 minutes

"Count it all joy, my brothers, when you meet trials of various kinds, for you know that the testing of your faith produces steadfastness. And let steadfastness have its full effect, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking in nothing." James 1:2

Welcome to the Coastal Midweek podcast! We are speaking with Pastor Susie LeForge about her message from this weekend. She speaks about the new season of parenting, marriage, and ministry. She speaks of obedience when everything has changed. It affects your relationship with God. This weekend’s message was based from the story of Naaman. Naaman’s servants pushed him to try the healing instructions. The people surrounding you can really be the life that you need to direct you to the Lord. So many times the push-back is part of the process. God teaches us so much in the challenges a s opposition. God develops things in you during that time. Friends can help you push through and find victory in the trial. If you are moving and doing things for the kingdom you will have tension and opposition. How do you find a mentor?

2 Kings 5 V 1. Now Naaman was commander of the army of the King of Aram. He was a great man in the sight of his master and highly regarded, because through him the Lord had given victory to Aram. He was a valiant soldier, but he had leprosy. V.9-10 So Naaman went with his horses and chariots and stopped at the door of Elisha’s house. Elisha sent a messenger to say to him, “Go, wash yourself seven times n the Jordan, and your flesh will be restored and you will be cleansed.” V 11-12 But Naaman went away angry and said, “I thought that he would surely come out to me and stand and call on the name of the Lord his God, wave his hand over the spot and cure me of my leprosy. Are not Abana and Pharpar, the rivers of Damascus, better than all the waters of Israel? Couldn’t I wash in them and be cleansed?” So he turned away and went off in a rage. V13-15 Naaman’s servants went to him and said, “My father, if the prophet had told you to do some great thing, would you not have done it? How much more, then, when he tells you, ‘Wash and be cleansed’!” So he went down and dipped himself in the Jordan seven times, as the man of God had told him, and his flesh was restored and became clean like that of a young boy. Then Naaman and all his attendants went back to the man of God. He stood before him and said, “Now I know that there is no God in all the world except in Israel. 1. We need some self-awareness 2. We need to seek Godly counsel Proverbs 13:20 Walk with the wise and become wise; associate with fools and get in trouble. 3. We need to commit to the process

Welcome to the Coastal Midweek podcast! We can lose sight of what God had spoken to us at the beginning of the year. We are now halfway through 2022 — and we can’t stop now. Don’t lose sight. Refocus. From Nehemiah 6, we learn the clear vision that shows a great example for us. Diligence is so valuable! Fulfilling the call of God is going to be a continual fight.

Nehemiah 6:1-4 It was told to Sanballat, Tobiah, Geshem the Arab, and to the rest of those who hated us that I had built the wall again. They were told that the wall had no more open places, but I had not yet set up the doors in the gates. So Sanballat and Geshem sent word to me, saying, “Come, let us meet together in one of the villages in the plain of Ono.” But they were planning to hurt or kill me. So I sent men with word to them, saying, “I am doing a great work and I cannot come down. Why should the work stop while I leave it and come down to you?” They sent word to me four times in this way, and I gave them the same answer.

Don’t STOP NOW. If the enemy can't DESTROY you, he will DISTRACT you.

REMEMBER you have a great CALLING.

Nehemiah 6:3 So I sent men with word to them, saying, “I am doing a great work and I cannot come down. Why should the work stop while I leave it and come down to you?”

Over time, we are prone to start treating what was once a MIRACLE as something that is MUNDANE.

1 Peter 2:9-10 But you are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, God’s special possession, that you may declare the praises of him who called you out of darkness into his wonderful light. Once you were not a people, but now you are the people of God; once you had not received mercy, but now you have received mercy.

Most people stop WHAT they are doing because they forgot WHY they are doing it.

RECOGNIZE that you have LIMITS.

Nehemiah 6:3 So I sent men with word to them, saying, “I am doing a great work and I cannot come down. Why should the work stop while I leave it and come down to you?” Self-awareness is the ability to see yourself CLEARLY and OBJECTIVELY.

Philippians 3:13 Brothers and sisters, I do not consider myself yet to have taken hold of it. But one thing I do: Forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead, Attention is a LIMITED resource.

RESOLVE that you have to keep BUILDING.

Nehemiah 6:3-4 So I sent men with word to them, saying, “I am doing a great work and I cannot come down. Why should the work stop while I leave it and come down to you?” They sent word to me four times in this way, and I gave them the same answer.

Discipline is the ability to stay COMMITTED to stay committed to your assignment long after the FEELINGS of excitement have left.

Nehemiah 6:15 So the wall was completed on the twenty-fifth of Elul, in fifty-two days. Supernatural goals are only achieved when we partner our GRIT with God’s GRACE.

Thank you for tuning into our latest episode of the Coastal Midweek Podcast with Pastors TJ and Shayla McCormick. We are closing out week 3 of our #BLESSED series. We’ve been focused on financial health and freedom! When you have MORE, what is the purpose for that extra? Are you stewarding in such a way to even have margin? Hopefully you are looking for ways to make a difference. When you raise your standard of living, are you increasing your standard of giving? “Work” can be a dirty word, just hoping wishing and praying for a change. Roll up your sleeves and do the work! Proverbs 14:23, “All hard work brings a profit, but mere talk leads only to poverty.” Mark Batterson shares in “Circle Maker” that he “prays like it depends on God and works like it depends on him.” Proverbs 12:24, “Diligent hands will rule, but laziness ends in forced labor.” We live an a feel-good culture. We need to live not by feelings driving us — but by truth! Action Item: Get on a BUDGET

Can you map it out?

10/20/70 Budget 10% goes to God-tithing 20% goes to debt elimination, savings, investing 70% necessities housing, transportation, insurance, food. Be willing to do what it takes!

There are three conversions that are necessary: the conversion of the heart,mindand the purse.”—Martin Luther

Proverbs 11:10 When the righteous prosper, the city rejoices; when the wicked perish, there are shouts of joy.

Proverbs 12:24 Diligent hands will rule, but laziness ends in forced labor.

Colossians 3:23 Whatever work you do, do it with all your heart. Do it for the Lord and not for men.

Choose a PLAN over PASSION.

Luke 14:28-29 “Suppose one of you wants to build a tower. Won’t you first sit down and estimate the cost to see if you have enough money to complete it? For if you lay the foundation and are not able to finish it, everyone who sees it will ridicule you,

Action Item: Get on a BUDGET

It's important to talk about finances as we grow to be the healthiest church that we can be! We live in a culture that doesn't place value on self-control. Before you PAY for it, PRAY for it. Invite God into your finances and spending habits.

And my God will meet all your needs according to the riches of his glory in Christ Jesus. Philippians 4:19

Learn to sacrifice in order to accomplish goals and become good stewards.

Self Control - Sacrifice - Planning

Proverbs 13:7 One person pretends to be rich, yet has nothing;

Proverbs 22:7 Just as the rich rule the poor, so the borrower is servant to the lender.

Servant: ebed; a SLAVE, in BONDAGE

3 Biblical Values to Act Your Wage

Embrace the value of SELF-CONTROL.

Proverbs 25:28 A person without self-control is like a city with broken-down walls.

Learn to say NO for a little while in order to say YES later in life.

Live like NO ONE else so that one day you can truly live like NO ONE else.

Embrace the value of SACRIFICE.

Hebrews 12:2 We do this by keeping our eyes on Jesus, the champion who initiates and perfects our faith. Because of the joy awaiting him, he endured the cross,

We give up something we LOVE for something we love EVEN MORE.

Embrace the value of PLANNING.

Luke 14:28 Suppose one of you wants to build a tower. Won’t you first sit down and estimate the cost to see if you have enough money to complete it?

Before you PAY for it, PRAY for it!

Proverbs 21:5 Good planning and hard work lead to prosperity, but hasty shortcuts lead to poverty.

Action Items: Save $1000 for emergencies

Do the debt SNOWBALL

Proverbs 6:5 Free yourself, like a gazelle from the hand of the hunter, like a bird from the snare of the fowler.

Pastor TJ had the opportunity to travel with John Maxwell on a mission trip to the Dominican Republic. He shares one of the missions EPIC and the John Maxwell Ministry Foundation. Learn more about the iLead Youth Curriculum here: https://jmlf.org/ilead/

Our new series, #BLESSED, addresses the aspects of financial health from a biblical perspective. It is an important subject that the Bible talks about often. It's more spiritual than you think! Don't miss the principles that God has shared.

This weekend's message can be watched here: https://youtu.be/eK5nts6m8Js

Luke 6:38, "Give, and it will be given to you. A good measure, pressed down, shaken together and running over, will be poured into your lap. For with the measure you use, it will be measured to you.”

God is pouring out blessing, but we have tight fists to what we have. We ignorantly trust our ability rather than God's.

Trusting God with finances is so important and essential. Many Christians still don't trust God with their tithe.

If we learned and applied the principle of the tithe - the reach of our ministries would be exponential.

When we give towards something, you become more invested!

INVEST in:

Your local church

Your spouse

Your children

Your future (retirement planning)

In this series we're going to get practical! We look forward to applying health in our finances from the wisdom of God's Word.

Proverbs 11:24 The world of the generous gets LARGER and LARGER; while the world of the stingy gets smaller and smaller.

Myth #1: The CHURCH wants my MONEY.

Myth #2: The church shouldn’t TALK about MONEY.

Biblical Money Stats: 2/3 parables dealt with handling money.

1 of 10 verses in the Gospels deal directly with money.

2300 verses in the Bible mention your finances!

5 times as many as prayer and faith.

“If a person gets his attitude toward MONEY straight, it will help straighten out almost every other area in his life.”—Billy Graham

Myth #3: Tithing is an OLD TESTAMENT law that is no longer APPLICABLE.

TITHE—MA’ASER—a tenth

TITHING: The principle of RETURNING to God the FIRST 10% of your income.

Malachi 3:8-10 “Will a mere mortal rob God? Yet you rob me. “But you ask, ‘How are we robbing you?’ “In tithes and offerings. You are under a curse—your whole nation—because you are robbing me. Bring the whole tithe into the storehouse, that there may be food in my house. Test me in this,” says the Lord Almighty, “and see if I will not throw open the floodgates of heaven and pour out so much blessing that there will not be room enough to store it.

Matthew 23:23 “Woe to you, teachers of the law and Pharisees, you hypocrites! You give a tenth of your spices—mint, dill and cumin. But you have neglected the more important matters of the law—justice, mercy and faithfulness. You should have practiced the latter, without neglecting the former.

I Corinthians 16:2 On the first day of every week, each one of you should set aside a sum of money in keeping with your income, saving it up, so that when I come no collections will have to be made.

WHY I TITHE

Tithing puts God FIRST in my life.

Deuteronomy 14:23 The purpose of tithing is to teach you to always put God first in your lives.It takes FAITH to put God FIRST in your finances. 2. Tithing keeps me involved in the VISION of the CHURCH.

I Chronicles 29:3 Moreover, because I have set my affection on the house of my God, I have given to the house of my God, over and above all that I have prepared for the holy house, my own special treasure of gold and silver:

Matthew 6:21 For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.

When I tithe, I move from a spectator to a PARTICIPATOR in what God is doing through His CHURCH.

Take a 90 DAY tithing CHALLENGE Pick a PERCENTAGE and make it AUTOMATIC.

Tithing gives me ACCESS to supernatural BLESSING.

Malachi 3:10 Bring the whole tithe into the storehouse…and see if I will not throw open the floodgates of heaven and pour out so much blessing that there will not be room enough to store it.

Deuteronomy 15:10 Give freely and spontaneously. Don’t have a stingy heart. The way you handle matters like this triggers God, your God’s, blessing in everything you do, all your work and ventures.

When God is put FIRST, the rest is BLESSED!

2 Corinthians 9:6-7 Remember this: Whoever sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and whoever sows generously will also reap generously. Each of you should give what you have decided in your heart to give, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver.

2 Corinthians 9:11 You will be enriched in every way so that you can be generous on every occasion, and through us your generosity will result in thanksgiving to God.

Thank you for tuning in for a new episode of the Coastal Midweek Podcast! 1% changes, imperfect progress, is so important. Start with the end in mind!

"Beloved, I pray that you may prosper in all things and be in health, just as your soul prospers." 3 John 1:2

“The eye is the lamp of the body. If your eyes are healthy, your whole body will be full of light.” ‭‭Matthew‬ ‭6:22‬ ‭NIV‬‬

Consider what areas to work on and become more consistent in.

One little task at a time, so much can improve. Who has God called you to be? What kind of parent, worker, friend?

The greatest thing we can be consistent is investing in our faith. Everything starts with our faith, and everything grows from health.

Listen to the full weekend message: https://youtu.be/KSxkwWn664I

What are some practical ways to become more consistent?

Accountability: People that are checking in on you to see if you are growing and committing to your goals. Invite the mentors in. Don't leave it at empty words with things that you just want to hear. There's a big difference between accountability and encouragement. Decide what that looks like, set deadlines. The person asking for accountability needs to be the one reaching out and communicating.

Commitment lasts longer in community!

Consistency is a slow walk up hill. You don't coast up hill.

Everything worthwhile is uphill" -John Maxwell

"Brothers and sisters, I do not consider myself yet to have taken hold of it. But one thing I do: Forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead,I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus." - Philippians 3:13-14

CONSISTENCY

Daniel 6:4 Then the other administrators and high officers began searching for some fault in the way Daniel was handling government affairs, but they couldn’t find anything to criticize or condemn. He was faithful, always responsible, and completely trustworthy.So they concluded, “Our only chance of finding grounds for accusing Daniel will be in connection with the rules of his religion.”

Daniel 6:16-22 So at last the king gave orders for Daniel to be arrested and thrown into the den of lions. The king said to him, “May your God, whom you serve so faithfully, rescue you.”A stone was brought and placed over the mouth of the den. The king sealed the stone with his own royal seal and the seals of his nobles, so that no one could rescue Daniel. Then the king returned to his palace and spent the night fasting. He refused his usual entertainment and couldn’t sleep at all that night. Very early the next morning, the king got up and hurried out to the lions’ den. When he got there, he called out in anguish, “Daniel, servant of the living God! Was your God, whom you serve so faithfully, able to rescue you from the lions?” Daniel answered, “Long live the king! My God sent his angel to shut the lions’ mouths so that they would not hurt me, for I have been found innocent in his sight. And I have not wronged you, Your Majesty.”

Daniel 6:23 The king was overjoyed and ordered that Daniel be lifted from the den. Not a scratch was found on him, for he had trusted in his God.How do we grow in consistency?

START WITH THE END IN MIND

Daniel 1:8 NKJV But Daniel purposed in his heartthat he would not defile himself….The clearer the vision, the fewer the options, the easier the decisions. EMBRACE THE PROCESS Daniel 6:10 But when Daniel learned that the law had been signed, he went home and knelt down as usual in his upstairs room, with its windows open toward Jerusalem. He prayed three times a day, just as he had always done, giving thanks to his God.

FOCUS ON PROGRESS NOT PERFECTION Winston Churchill - “perfection is the enemy of progress.”

Philippians 3:12-13 Not that I have already obtained this or am already perfect, but I press on to make it my own, because Christ Jesus has made me his own. Brothers, I do not consider that I have made it my own. But one thing I do: forgetting what lies behind and straining forward to what lies ahead.

Romans 7: 21-25 I have discovered this principle of life—that when I want to do what is right, I inevitably do what is wrong. I love God’s law with all my heart. 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. Oh, what a miserable person I am! Who will free me from this life that is dominated by sin and death? 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.

Thank you for tuning in to the Coastal Midweek Podcast this week! In our newest series, Faith in the Fire — we talked about increasing your faith and peace through getting to know God’s faithfulness and His Word. Find ways to remember what God has done! Commitment lasts longer in community and it increases and advances your faith. Put your trust in what is bigger than all of your fears and concerns.

Daniel 3:13-15 Furious with rage, Nebuchadnezzar summoned Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego. So these men were brought before the king, and Nebuchadnezzar said to them, “Is it true, Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego, that you do not serve my gods or worship the image of gold I have set up? Now when you hear the sound of the horn, flute, zither, lyre, harp, pipe and all kinds of music, if you are ready to fall down and worship the image I made, very good. But if you do not worship it, you will be thrown immediately into a blazing furnace. Then what god will be able to rescue you from my hand?”

Daniel 3:16-18 Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego replied to him, “King Nebuchadnezzar, we do not need to defend ourselves before you in this matter. If we are thrown into the blazing furnace, the God we serve is able to deliver us from it, and he will deliver us from Your Majesty’s hand. But even if he does not, we want you to know, Your Majesty, that we will not serve your gods or worship the image of gold you have set up.”

My level of PEACE is contingent on my level of TRUST.

Isaiah 26:3 You will keep in perfect peace those whose minds are steadfast, because they trust in you.

Daniel 3:17 If we are thrown into the blazing furnace, the God we serve is ABLE to deliver us from it, and he will deliver us from Your Majesty’s hand.

BEGINNER Faith: Belief that God is ABLE to do a miracle.

Jeremiah 32:17 “Ah, Sovereign Lord, you have made the heavens and the earth by your great power and outstretched arm. Nothing is too hard for you.

Daniel 3:17 If we are thrown into the blazing furnace, the God we serve is able to deliver us from it, and he WILL deliver us from Your Majesty’s hand.

INTERMEDIATE Faith: Believing that God is WILLING to do a miracle.

Philippians 4:19 And my God WILL meet all your needs according to the riches of his glory in Christ Jesus.

Daniel 3:18 But EVEN IF he does not, we want you to know, Your Majesty, that we will not serve your gods or worship the image of gold you have set up.”

ADVANCED Faith: Belief that God is GOOD even if I don’t get my miracle.

COMMITMENT lasts longer in COMMUNITY.
Remember, what God has done FOR ME is greater than what life is doing TO ME.
When I don’t UNDERSTAND, I choose to TRUST.

Welcome back to the Coastal Midweek Podcast with Pastor TJ and Shayla McCormick.

Let’s talk about our new series in Daniel, Faith in the Fire.

The YouTube Playlist is found here: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLAYU8tP-3OqiryOJjnj9-rp9VabN1Fcou

People want to see if your words and your life align. What are you building? Your character or your reputation? Consider pleasing the Lord rather than man. Every breakthrough in life means there is someone you had to bust through!

Something has to change for there to be a solution. There will be difficulty! Scripture talks about us sharing in Christ’s suffering.

Philippians 3:10, "that I may know Him and the power of His resurrection and the fellowship of His sufferings, being conformed to His death"

Daniel 3:1 King Nebuchadnezzar made an image of gold, sixty cubits high and six cubits wide, and set it up on the plain of Dura in the province of Babylon.

Daniel 3:5-6 As soon as you hear the sound of the horn, flute, zither, lyre, harp, pipe and all kinds of music, you must fall down and worship the image of gold that King Nebuchadnezzar has set up. Whoever does not fall down and worship will immediately be thrown into a blazing furnace.”

Daniel 3:12 But there are some Jews whom you have set over the affairs of the province of Babylon—Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego—who pay no attention to you, Your Majesty. They neither serve your gods nor worship the image of gold you have set up.”

We need faith to STAND UP.

Daniel 3:13-14 Furious with rage, Nebuchadnezzar summoned Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego. So these men were brought before the king, and Nebuchadnezzar said to them, “Is it true,Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego, that you do not serve my gods or worship the image of gold I have set up?

LIFE changes.

“Change is the only constant in life.”—Heraclitus CULTURE changes.

Will I change the WORLD or will the world change ME?

GOD NEVER changes.

I Corinthians 16:13-14 Be on your guard; stand firm in the faith; be courageous; be strong. Do everything in love.

If you don’t STAND for something, you will FALL for anything. When others bow, I will stand up for MY PURPOSE.

I refuse to SETTLE for anything less than God’s BEST for my life.

I Corinthians 15:58 Therefore, my dear brothers and sisters, stand firm. Let nothing move you. Always give yourselves fully to the work of the Lord, because you know that your labor in the Lord is not in vain. When others bow, I am going to stand up for MY COMMUNITY.

Ecclesiastes 4:9-10 Two are better than one, because they have a good return for their labor: If either of them falls down, one can help the other up. But pity anyone who falls and has no one to help them up. When others bow, I am going to stand for MY FAITH.

Ephesians 6:13-14 Therefore put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand. Stand firm then

Colossians 3:1 …where Christ is, seated at the right hand of God.

Acts 7:55-56 But Stephen, full of the Holy Spirit, looked up to heaven and saw the glory of God, and Jesus standing at the right hand of God. “Look,” he said, “I see heaven open and the Son of Man standing at the right hand of God.”

When I STAND, Jesus STANDS with me.

Thank you for joining us online for Easter 2022 in Lighthouse Point and Parkland!

Luke 22:60-62 Peter replied, “Man, I don’t know what you’re talking about!” Just as he was speaking, the rooster crowed. The Lord turned and looked straight at Peter. Then Peter remembered the word the Lord had spoken to him: “Before the rooster crows today, you will disown me three times.” And he went outside and wept bitterly.

John 21:3 (NLT) Simon Peter said, “I’m going fishing.” “We’ll come, too,” they all said. So they went out in the boat, but they caught nothing all night.

Easter is proof that DEAD things in your life can come back to LIFE.“Easter is death working backwards.”—C.S. Lewis

Romans 8:11 (NLT) The Spirit of God, who raised Jesus from the dead, lives in you. And just as God raised Christ Jesus from the dead, he will give life to your mortal bodies by this same Spirit living within you.

Jesus didn’t come to make BAD people GOOD; He came to make DEAD people LIVE.

Revelation 1:18 I am the Living One; I was dead, and now look, I am alive for ever and ever! And I hold the keys of death and Hades. Jesus is the difference between the life YOU ARE living and the life you COULD BE living.

Mark 16:6-7 “Don’t be alarmed,” he said. “You are looking for Jesus the Nazarene, who was crucified. He has risen! He is not here. See the place where they laid him. But go, tell his disciples and Peter, ‘He is going ahead of you into Galilee. There you will see him, just as he told you.’”

Stop DOUBTING

Hebrews 11:6 And without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to him must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who earnestly seek him.

Start LIVING

Ephesians 2:4-5 But because of his great love for us, God, who is rich in mercy, made us alive with Christ even when we were dead in transgressions—it is by grace you have been saved.

You have no idea how one conversation, one word of encouragement, or one expression of love might change someone’s life.

“You are the salt of the earth … You are the light of the world. A town built on a hill cannot be hidden. let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven.” Matthew 5:13-16 NIV

True and lasting influence always starts with people before platform.

The woman was surprised, for Jews refuse to have anything to do with Samaritans. She said to Jesus, “You are a Jew, and I am a Samaritan woman. Why are you asking me for a drink?” 10“If you only knew the gift God has for you and who you are speaking to, you would ask me, and I would give you living water.” John 4:9-10 NLT

Jesus replied, “Anyone who drinks this water will soon become thirsty again. …” John 4:13-14 NLT

“Go and get your husband,” Jesus told her. I don’t have a husband,” the woman replied. Jesus said, “You’re right! You don’t have a husband—18’t even married to the man you’re living with now. You certainly spoke the truth!” “Sir,” the woman said, “you must be a prophet.” John 4:16-19 NLT

The woman left her water jar beside the well and ran back to the village, telling everyone“Come and see a man who told me everything I ever did! Could he possibly be the Messiah?” So the people came streaming from the village to see him. John 4:28-30 NLT

No matter how bad your life is messed up you are not too far gone for the Love of Jesus to reach into your life.You don’t have to have your life all together to influence someone towards Jesus!Many Samaritans from the village believed in Jesus because the woman had said, “He told me everything I ever did!” 40long enough for many more to hear his message and believe. John 4:39-41 NLT

Then he said to his disciples, “The harvest is plentiful but the workers are few. Matthew 9:37 NLT

Ezekiel 28:12-17 12 “Son of man, lament for the king of Tyre and say to him: This is what the Lord God says: You were the seal of perfection, full of wisdom and perfect in beauty.13 You were in Eden, the garden of God. Every kind of precious stone covered you: carnelian, topaz, and diamond, beryl, onyx, and jasper, sapphire, turquoise and emerald. Your mountings and settings were crafted in gold; they were prepared on the day you were created. 14 You were an anointed guardian cherub, for I had appointed you. You were on the holy mountain of God; you walked among the fiery stones.15 From the day you were created you were blameless in your ways until wickedness was found in you. 16 Through the abundance of your trade, you were filled with violence, and you sinned. So I expelled you in disgrace from the mountain of God, and banished you, guardian cherub, from among the fiery stones.

NOTE: God isn’t looking for position seekers but presence seekers.

17 Your heart became proud because of your beauty; For the sake of your splendor you corrupted your wisdom. So I threw you down to the earth; I made you a spectacle before kings.

Note: You will either be humbled or be humble.

Luke 14:11 For everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, and he who humbles himself will be exalted.

James 4:6 “God opposes the proud but shows favor to the humble.”What is Humility? 1. Appropriate view of yourself.

Romans 12:3 3 For by the grace given me I say to every one of you: Do not think of yourself more highly than you ought, but rather think of yourself with sober judgment, in accordance with the faith God has distributed to each of you.

Teachable

Proverbs 12:1 - Whoever loves discipline loves knowledge, but whoever hates correction is stupid.

Considerate of others

Philippians 2:1-4 Therefore if you have any encouragement from being united with Christ, if any comfort from his love, if any common sharing in the Spirit, if any tenderness and compassion, 2 then make my joy complete by being like-minded, having the same love, being one in spirit and of one mind. 3 Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit. Rather, in humility value others above yourselves, 4 not looking to your own interests but each of you to the interests of the others.

NOTE: Only humility will get you OUT OF what pride got you INTO.

#5 Bigger didn’t fix what was broken in me.

Fix the cracks, don't just fill it. The flaws continue to grow. "Success" may never seem good enough.

What are you trying to fill the cracks with?

For a fleeting moment it feels good, but it leaves us wanting more.

Kintsugi is the Japanese art of putting broken pottery pieces back together with gold

#6 Don't play it safe, go for broke

I'm not saying to build margin or budget. BUT realize you will have to take risks and go for it, all in! Multiple times, multiple moments. When you know that God is speaking to you, go for it!

Galatians 6:9, "So let us not grow weary in doing what is right, for we will reap at harvest time, if we do not give up."

#8 Pay it Forward

Be for other people what other people weren't for you. Be what you needed! What did you need "back then", give that to someone else who's a few steps behind.

Use your blessing to bless others. Sow into other people.

Your need is also your seed. Plant that need in other people's life.

What someone has done for you that encouraged you greatly, REMEMBER that - and do it for someone else!

Recently, we hosted Leadership One here at Coastal Community Church. What he shared is not just applicable to church leaders, but also to all of us.

This is Part One of 8

1. God is going to do something IN YOU!

You may thing that God is just going to work THROUGH you for other people, but realize that God is doing INSIDE of you. Pride, areas to address etc. Rather than simply mimicking other people, realize who God has uniquely made you, how is He preparing you?

Ask God: "What are you trying to do right now?"

Leadership Pain: The Classroom for Growth by Samuel Chand

'growth equals change; change equals loss; loss equals pain; so inevitably, growth equals pain.'

We don't need another __________ we need the first ___________.

2. It's not about YOU it's about the kind of team you're surrounding yourself with.

The people around you are going to make you or break you!

Develop culture based on the values that you hold high.

People that are willing to do whatever it takes. Point to the team effort.

1 Tell your team there's never a mess that you make that I can't clean up. This frees them up to take risks, try new things, be creative. It enables them to lead.

2 If you're on board with the vision, every victory is yours (the team's) and every defeat is mine (the leader).

"The best teams are made up of a bunch of nobodies who love everybody & serve anybody & don't care about becoming a somebody." - James Goll

3. Who you start with is not going to be who you end with.

Starters are not always finishers. There are people that come in for the construction phase. The scaffolding. There are people that God uses for certain seasons.

Of course it can hurt when someone leaves. Trust God for these transitions. Don't close yourself off or grow fearful. Have an openness in your heart to continue to extend trust.

We live with an OPEN hand. We are a steward of people, they are GOD'S.

4. Your church doesn't have to be the greatest at EVERYTHING, but you better be great at something!

Realize the value of different local churches or organizations. They may be the best at something, but you can be the best at something as well.

Ask: What are WE really good at?

For us, this is being a friendly, authentic and relational community that feels like HOME!

This applies to career, home life etc. Find something you can excel at.

The Purple Cow by Seth Godin

We're a 10 in some area of life. We have something to contribute.

David was HIMSELF in 1 Samuel 17. He was good at his craft. He brought what he had.

Our Parkland Location Pastor, Josh Mitchael shares an incredible message during our Voices series at Coastal Community Church.

“Character is the will to do what is right, as defined by God, regardless of personal cost.” ~ Andy Stanley“ A man who is intimate with God is not intimidated by man.”~ Leonard Ravenhill

Luke 19:1-10 NIV 1 Jesus entered Jericho and made his way through the town. 2 There was a man there named Zacchaeus. He was the chief tax collector in the region, and he had become very rich. 3 He tried to get a look at Jesus, but he was too short to see over the crowd. 4 So he ran ahead and climbed a sycamore-fig tree beside the road, for Jesus was going to pass that way. 5 When Jesus came by, he looked up at Zacchaeus and called him by name. “Zacchaeus!” he said. “Quick, come down! I must be a guest in your home today.” 6 Zacchaeus quickly climbed down and took Jesus to his house in great excitement and joy. 7 But the people were displeased. “He has gone to be the guest of a notorious sinner,” they grumbled. 8 Meanwhile, Zacchaeus stood before the Lord and said, “I will give half my wealth to the poor, Lord, and if I have cheated people on their taxes, I will give them back four times as much!” 9 Jesus responded, “Salvation has come to this home today, for this man has shown himself to be a true son of Abraham. 10 For the Son of Man came to seek and save those who are lost.”“

Character is the will to do what is right, as defined by God, regardless of personal cost.” ~ Andy Stanley

The enemy wants you to think that either good enough without God or that you’re too far gone to be used by God.

TRICK #1: The enemy wants you to think that you’re GOOD ENOUGH on your own WITHOUT GOD.

Luke 19:1 NIV He was the chief tax collector in the region, and he had become very rich.

Romans 5:12, “Sin came into the world through one man, and his sin brought death with it. As a result, death has spread to the whole human race because everyone has sinned.”

TRICK #2: The enemy wants you to think that you’re TOO FAR GONE to be noticed BY GOD.

H. Hungry

A. Angry

L. Lonely

T. Tired

Luke 19:3-4 NIV He tried to get a look at Jesus, but he was too short to see over the crowd. 4 So he ran ahead and climbed a sycamore-fig tree beside the road, for Jesus was going to pass that way.

THE TRUTH: We need a SAVIOR.

Luke 19:5 NIV 5 When Jesus came by, he looked up at Zacchaeus and called him by name. “Zacchaeus!” he said. “Quick, come down! I must be a guest in your home today.”

Luke 19:6-7 NIV 6 Zacchaeus quickly climbed down and took Jesus to his house in great excitement and joy. 7 But the people were displeased. “He has gone to be the guest of a notorious sinner,” they grumbled.

Romans 5:8 NIV “But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.”

John 10:10 NIV 10 The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy. I came that they may have life and have it abundantly.

THE HOPE: JESUS wants to know YOU,

Luke 19:8-10 NIV 8 Meanwhile, Zacchaeus stood before the Lord and said, “I will give half my wealth to the poor, Lord, and if I have cheated people on their taxes, I will give them back four times as much!” 9 Jesus responded, “Salvation has come to this home today, for this man has shown himself to be a true son of Abraham. 10 For the Son of Man came to seek and save those who are lost.”

God isn’t just looking for BEHAVIOR MODIFICATION, He’s looking for HEART TRANSFORMATION.

Luke 19:10 NIV For the Son of Man came to seek and save those who are lost.” Are you willing to allow Jesus Christ to be Lord over of life?

Matthew 26:31-35- Then Jesus told them, “This very night you will all fall away on account of me, for it is written: “ ‘I will strike the shepherd, and the sheep of the flock will be scattered.’ 32 But after I have risen, I will go ahead of you into Galilee.” 33 Peter replied, “Even if all fall away on account of you, I never will.” 34 “Truly I tell you,” Jesus answered, “this very night, before the rooster crows, you will disown me three times.” 35 But Peter declared, “Even if I have to die with you, I will never disown you.” And all the other disciples said the same. Luke 22:31 “Simon, Simon, Satan has asked to sift all of you as wheat. 32 But I have prayed for you, Simon, that your faith may not fail. And when you have turned back, strengthen your brothers.” 33 But he replied, “Lord, I am ready to go with you to prison and to death.” 34 Jesus answered, “I tell you, Peter, before the rooster crows today, you will deny three times that you know me.” In biblical times, wheat or other grain was sifted through a sieve or large strainer. As it was shaken violently, the dirt and other impurities that clung to the grain during the threshing process would separate from the good, usable grain.

The intent of sifting is not that anyone would be ________, but that all would be __________.

How do we know when we are being Sifted?

Being sifted does not mean that you have lost your way, in fact, it probably means the opposite.

John 16:33 “I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world.” The enemy of our souls wants to take your salvation, and damage the witness you are for Christ.

1 Peter 5:8 - Be alert and of sober mind. Your enemy the devil prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour.

Luke 24:9-12 9 When they came back from the tomb, they told all these things to the Eleven and to all the others. 10 It was Mary Magdalene, Joanna, Mary the mother of James, and the others with them who told this to the apostles. 11 But they did not believe the women, because their words seemed to them like nonsense. 12 Peter, however, got up and ran to the tomb. Bending over, he saw the strips of linen lying by themselves, and he went away, wondering to himself what had happened. We have to allow the sifting process to _________ us.

“The Danger of Isolation is much greater than the risk of Intimacy” - Steven Furtick

John 21:1-3 Afterward Jesus appeared again to his disciples, by the Sea of Galilee. It happened this way: 2 Simon Peter, Thomas, Nathanael from Cana in Galilee, the sons of Zebedee, and two other disciples were together. 3 “I’m going out to fish,” Simon Peter told them, and they said, “We’ll go with you.” So they went out and got into the boat, but that night they caught nothing.

Your Pain can either ___________ you or ___________ you

We have to allow God to turn our __________ into ____________

John 21:15 - 15 When they had finished eating, Jesus said to Simon Peter, “Simon son of John, do you love me more than these?” “Yes, Lord,” he said, “you know that I love you.”Jesus said, “Feed my lambs.”16 Again Jesus said, “Simon son of John, do you love me?”He answered, “Yes, Lord, you know that I love you.”Jesus said, “Take care of my sheep.”17 The third time he said to him, “Simon son of John, do you love me?”Peter was hurt because Jesus asked him the third time, “Do you love me?” He said, “Lord, you know all things; you know that I love you.”Jesus said, “Feed my sheep.”

Isaiah 43:2 “When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; and when you pass through the rivers, they will not sweep over you. When you walk through the fire, you will not be burned; the flames will not set you ablaze”

We got a surprise message from Pastor TJ and Shayla on Saturday Night in Parkland this weekend. It’s a special and dynamic word about relationships. Are you putting off things you should be doing today. Take advantage of the time you are given! Don’t put off tomorrow what you can do today. What matters most? Life is short. “LORD, remind me how brief my time on earth will be. Remind me that my days are numbered— how fleeting my life is. You have made my life no longer than the width of my hand. My entire lifetime is just a moment to you; at best, each of us is but a breath.” Psalm 39:4-5 Stop living in fantasy land. Living in a “someday” world. I’ll get around to it. If your life ended today, would you be proud of your relational world? If you knew the end was coming, what would you change? You can’t microwave relationships. Mediocrity becomes a constant when you think you’ve got all of the time in the world. We’re often raising kids who are experience rich, but relationally poor. Are they getting time with you? It doesn’t take much, but it does take TIME! Invested time is valuable. Our WORDS are powerful. “The tongue can bring death or life; those who love to talk will reap the consequences.” Proverbs 18:21 We have a desire to be fully loved and fully known. Relational intimacy takes time and words. VULNERABILITY + CURIOSITY = INTIMACY Don’t give the least amount of GRACE to those we love the most.

Here is what I know about what’s next

There will be blessing in the next season

“The Lord is good to all; he has compassion on all he has made.”

Psalms 145:9 NIV

“Taste and see that the Lord is good; blessed is the one who takes refuge in him.” Psalms 34:8 NIV

“Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you. For everyone who asks receives; the one who seeks finds; and to the one who knocks, the door will be opened.” Matthew 7:7–8 NIV

“These are the commands, decrees, and regulations that the Lord your God commanded me to teach you. You must obey them in the land you are about to enter and occupy, and you and your children and grandchildren must fear the Lord your God as long as you live. If you obey all his decrees and commands, you will enjoy a long life. Listen closely, Israel, and be careful to obey. Then all will go well with you, and you will have many children in the land flowing with milk and honey, just as the Lord, the God of your ancestors, promised you.” Deuteronomy 6:1–3 NLT

“For the Lord your God is bringing you into a good land—a land with brooks, streams, and deep springs gushing out into the valleys and hills; a land with wheat and barley, vines and fig trees, pomegranates, olive oil and honey; a land where bread will not be scarce and you will lack nothing; a land where the rocks are iron and you can dig copper out of the hills.” Deuteronomy 8:7–9 NIV

“Seek the Kingdom of God above all else, and live righteously, and he will give you everything you need.” Matthew 6:33 NLT

There will be challenges in the next season “In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world.”” John 16:33 NIV

“Very truly I tell you, unless a kernel of wheat falls to the ground and dies, it remains only a single seed. But if it dies, it produces many seeds. Anyone who loves their life will lose it, while anyone who hates their life in this world will keep it for eternal life. Whoever serves me must follow me; and where I am, my servant also will be. My Father will honor the one who serves me.

“Now my soul is troubled, and what shall I say? ‘Father, save me from this hour’? No, it was for this very reason I came to this hour. Father, glorify your name!” Then a voice came from heaven, “I have glorified it, and will glorify it again.” John 12:24–28

NIV

Some of our biggest blessings will come from our biggest challenges in the next season

“Even the wilderness and desert will be glad in those days. The wasteland will rejoice and blossom with spring crocuses. Yes, there will be an abundance of flowers and singing and joy! The deserts will become as green as the mountains of Lebanon, as lovely as Mount Carmel or the plain of Sharon. There the Lord will display his glory, the splendor of our God.” Isaiah 35:1–2 NLT

“In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world.” John 16:33 NIV

Thank you for asking, now -- here's our response! Relationship Priorities are coming your way.

If you're not dependent on God and secure in your relationship with the Lord, it will create insecurity, codependency and issues in your relationships.

Where does your sufficiency come from? Are you looking for relationships to "complete" you?

In a Healthy Marriage Relationship:

1. Needs are met by God.

1 John 4:19, "We love because He first loved us."

Both spouses serve one another and add value to one another.

2. Active CommunicationThis creates security in your relationship. Undivided attention creates connection! Communicate about the good and the bad, so that it's not all negative or divisive.

Timing is so important, and a listening ear to receive it.

Model open communication for your family, start with 15 minutes a day. Go on walks to talk

Marriage Checkup: 7 - 7 - 7

Every 7 days, some sort of date together one-on-one

Every 7 weeks, a night away

Every 7 months, a vacation without children

Ask these questions:

What's going well?
What can I do differently?

What's frustrating? 3. What are some goals?

Personally, professionally, financially, in our marriage, ministry

3. Committed

Love is a commitment, feelings follow actions. Don't base your life on feelings. Put in the work. Take "divorce" out of your vocabulary as a threat. Prepare, read, continue to learn.

Continue to study your spouse as they grow and change throughout their life.

Revelation of Revival
Renewal of Revival
Resurrection of Revival

Acts 1:8 But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes upon you. And you will be my witnesses, telling people about me everywhere—in Jerusalem, throughout Judea, in Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.”

Revival of His Presence

Ephesians 6:12 For we are not fighting against flesh-and-blood enemies, but against evil rulers and authorities of the unseen world, against mighty powers in this dark world, and against evil spirits in the heavenly places.

1 Chronicles 4:10 He was the one who prayed to the God of Israel, “Oh, that you would blessme and expand my territory! Please be with me in all that I do, and keepme from all trouble and pain!” And God granted him his request.

Revival of our personal disciplines Mark 1:35 Before daybreak the next morning, Jesus got up and went out to an isolated place to pray.

James 1:22-25 NLT But don’t just listen to God’s word. You must do what it says. Otherwise, you are only fooling yourselves. For if you listen to the word and don’t obey, it is like glancing at your face in a mirror. You see yourself, walk away, and forget what you look like. But if you look carefully into the perfect law that sets you free, and if you do what it says and don’t forget what you heard, then God will bless you for doing it.

Revival of our posture towards other people

Matthew 22:36-40“ Teacher, which is the most important commandment in the law of Moses?” Jesus replied, “‘You must love the Lord your God with all your heart, all your soul, and all your mind.’ This is the first and greatest commandment. A second is equally important: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’ The entire law and all the demands of the prophets are based on these two commandments.”

Thank you for listening! This week at our weekend services, we wrapped up our series, “I Need a Miracle”. If Jesus was dependent on the Holy Spirit, why do we think that we can live independently from the Holy Spirit? The Holy Spirit gives invitations, He’s prompting way more than we’re responding. Get to know God’s nature. As you get to know Him and pay attention to His guidance, you begin to learn His voice even more! Rather than being led by our flesh, we need to be Spirit filled and Spirit led. What fills you will lead you.

3 John 2 Dear friend, I pray that you may enjoy good health and that all may go well with you, even as your soul is getting along well. If you want to experience the life of JESUS, you have to adopt the LIFESTYLE of Jesus.

You want to experience a miracle, BE SPIRIT LED.

Luke 3:21-22 When all the people were being baptized, Jesus was baptized too. And as he was praying, heaven was opened and the Holy Spirit descended on him in bodily form like a dove. And a voice came from heaven: “You are my Son, whom I love; with you I am well pleased.”

Luke 4:1-2 Jesus, full of the Holy Spirit, left the Jordan and was led by the Spirit into the wilderness, where for forty days he was tempted by the devil. Luke 4:14 Jesus returned to Galilee in the power of the Spirit, and news about him spread through the whole countryside.

Luke 4:18-19 “The Spirit of the Lord is on me, because he has anointed me to proclaim good news to the poor. He has sent me to proclaim freedom for the prisoners and recovery of sight for the blind, to set the oppressed free, to proclaim the year of the Lord’s favor.”

Jesus was FILLED with the Holy Spirit.

Luke 3:21-22 When all the people were being baptized, Jesus was baptized too. And as he was praying, heaven was opened and the Holy Spirit descended on him in bodily form like a dove. And a voice came from heaven: “You are my Son, whom I love; with you I am well pleased.”

Luke 4:1-2 Jesus, full of the Holy Spirit, left the Jordan and was led by the Spirit into the wilderness, where for forty days he was tempted by the devil.

If Jesus was DEPENDENT on the Holy Spirit, what makes us think we can live INDEPENDENT of Him?

Ephesians 5:18 Do not get drunk on wine, which leads to debauchery. Instead, be filled with the Spirit,What has FILLED your life?

Whatever FILLS you LEADS you.Jesus was LED by the Holy Spirit.

Luke 4:1 Jesus, full of the Holy Spirit, left the Jordan and was led by the Spirit into the wilderness, Whatever FILLS you LEADS you.

Galatians 5:16-18 So I say, walk by the Spirit, and you will not gratify the desires of the flesh. For the flesh desires what is contrary to the Spirit, and the Spirit what is contrary to the flesh. They are in conflict with each other, so that you are not to do whatever you want. But if you are led by the Spirit, you are not under the law.

Being led by the Holy Spirit will not always make SENSE, but it will always make a DIFFERENCE.

Jesus RELIED on the POWER of the Holy Spirit.

Luke 4:14 Jesus returned to Galilee in the power of the Spirit, and news about him spread through the whole countryside.

Luke 4:18 “The Spirit of the Lord is on me, because he has anointed me to proclaim good news to the poor. He has sent me to proclaim freedom for the prisoners and recovery of sight for the blind, to set the oppressed free,

Acts 10:38 And you know that God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Spirit and with power. Then Jesus went around doing good and healing all who were oppressed by the devil, for God was with him.

John 14:12 Very truly I tell you, whoever believes in me will do the works I have been doing, and they will do even greater things than these, because I am going to the Father.

God has given you access to all of the POWER you need to do everything He DESIRES.

“Not only is Jesus their savior because of who he was and because of his own complete obedience to the Father’s will, but he is the supreme example for them of what is possible in human life because of his total dependence upon the Spirit of God.”—Gerald Hawthorne

So many of us want to grow in our relationship with God and connect with others, but it can be difficult to know where to start. Today we sit down with our location pastors Josh and Brian and talk about how why community is so important to our growth in all different areas of our life.

You want to experience a miracle, COMMIT to COMMUNITY.

3 John 2: Dear friend, I pray that you may enjoy good health and that all may go well with you, even as your soul is getting along well. If you want to experience the life of Jesus, you have to adopt the lifestyle of Jesus.

Luke 2:42-43 When Jesus was twelve years old, they attended the festival as usual. After the celebration was over, they started home to Nazareth, but Jesus stayed behind in Jerusalem. His parents didn’t miss him at first,

Luke 2:46, 48-49 Three days later they finally discovered him in the Temple, sitting among the religious teachers, listening to them and asking questions. His parents didn’t know what to think. “Son,” his mother said to him, “why have you done this to us? Your father and I have been frantic, searching for you everywhere.” “But why did you need to search?” he asked. “Didn’t you know that I must be in my Father’s house?”

Psalm 92:12-13 The righteous will flourish like a palm tree, they will grow like a cedar of Lebanon; planted in the house of the Lord, they will flourish in the courts of our God.

Psalm 92:14 They will still bear fruit in old age, they will stay fresh and green,

Mark 3:13 Jesus went up on a mountainside and called to him those he wanted, and they came to him.

Mark 3:13-15 Jesus went up on a mountainside and called to him those he wanted, and they came to him. He appointed twelve that they might be with him and that he might send them out to preach and to have authority to drive out demons.

3 Qualities I Am Looking For In A Community

Mark 3:14 He appointed twelve that they might be with him and that he might send them out to preach

Commit to a community that LOVES JESUS.

“You are the average of the five people you spend the most time with.”—Jim Rohn

Proverbs 13:20 Walk with the wise and become wise, for a companion of fools suffers harm.

My community that loves Jesus: MY LOCAL CHURCH

2 Corinthians 6:14 Do not be yoked together with unbelievers. For what do righteousness and wickedness have in common? Or what fellowship can light have with darkness?

Mark 3:14 He appointed twelve that they might be with him and that he might send them out to preach Commit to a community that is ON MISSION.

Hebrews 10:24 And let us consider how we may spur one another on toward love and good deeds,

My community that is on mission: DREAM TEAM

Every member is a MINISTER.

Every task is IMPORTANT.

Everyone is a 10 at something.

Mark 3:14-15 He appointed twelve that they might be with him and that he might send them out to preach and to have authority to drive out demons.

Commit to a community that BRINGS FREEDOM.

James 5:16 Confess your sins to each other and pray for each other so that you may be healed. The earnest prayer of a righteous person has great power and produces wonderful results.

We go to Christ for our FORGIVENESS.

If you want to experience the life of JESUS, you have to adopt the LIFESTYLE of Jesus.

You want to experience a miracle, GET ALONE with God.

Luke 5:15-16 Yet the news about him spread all the more, so that crowds of people came to hear him and to be healed of their sicknesses. But Jesus often withdrew to lonely places and prayed.

Mark 1:35 Very early in the morning, while it was still dark, Jesus got up, left the house and went off to a solitary place, where he prayed.

Prayer = COMMUNICATION Communication = RELATIONSHIP

You don’t have a RELATIONSHIP with God without PRAYER.

The deepest relationships might start in PUBLIC, but they are truly built in PRIVATE.

Hebrews 4:16 So let us come boldly to the throne of our gracious God. There we will receive his mercy, and we will find grace to help us when we need it most.

“Public prayers are of little value unless they are founded on or followed up by private praying.”—E.M. Bounds

Jesus had a set TIME of prayer.

Jesus had a set PLACE of prayer.

Jesus has a set STRATEGY of prayer. Make an APPOINTMENT with God and KEEP it.

When we PRAY regularly, irregular things happen on a REGULAR basis.

6 Reasons Jesus Pulled Away To Pray To PREPARE

Luke 4:1Then Jesus, full of the Holy Spirit, returned from the Jordan River. He was led by the Spirit in the wilderness,

Luke 4:14-15 Then Jesus returned to Galilee, filled with the Holy Spirit’s power. Reports about him spread quickly through the whole region. He taught regularly in their synagogues and was praised by everyone.

Until you go to GOD on behalf of people, you should never be allowed to go to PEOPLE on behalf of God.

To RECHARGE

Mark 6:30-31 The apostles gathered around Jesus and reported to him all they had done and taught. Then, because so many people were coming and going that they did not even have a chance to eat, he said to them, “Come with me by yourselves to a quiet place and get some rest.”

The BEST ministry, parenting, leading and decision making will always happen from a place of REST.

To GRIEVE

Matthew 14:13 As soon as Jesus heard the news, he left in a boat to a remote area to be alone.

TIME does not heal things, GOD does.

To SEEK WISDOM

Luke 6:12 One day soon afterward Jesus went up on a mountain to pray, and he prayed to God all night.

Luke 6:13 At daybreak he called together all of his disciples and chose twelve of them to be apostles.

Prayer is our STEERING wheel not our SPARE tire.

To PETITION

Luke 22:39-42 Then, accompanied by the disciples, Jesus left the upstairs room and went as usual to the Mount of Olives. There he told them, “Pray that you will not give in to temptation.” He walked away, about a stone’s throw, and knelt down and prayed, “Father, if you are willing, please take this cup of suffering away from me. Yet I want your will to be done, not mine.”

You can CARRY your needs, or you can CAST them, it’s your choice.

To MODEL RELATIONSHIP

Luke 11:1 Once Jesus was in a certain place praying. As he finished, one of his disciples came to him and said, “Lord, teach us to pray,

You TEACH what you know, but you REPRODUCE who you are.

This week we launched a brand new series at Coastal Community Church, “I Need a Miracle”. https://youtu.be/qKGbtIzjcPg Our goal is to bring the weekend message to life and to share stories that will help you along on your faith journey! We live in a culture that is very fast paced. Lots of hurry, but not a lot of substance. We have to SLOW DOWN to connect with God.

If you want to experience the life of JESUS, you have to adopt the LIFESTYLE of Jesus.

3 John 2 Dear friend, I pray that you may enjoy good health and that all may go well with you, even as your soul is getting along well. You want to experience a miracle, SLOW DOWN.

John 11:5-6 Now Jesus loved Martha and her sister and Lazarus. So when he heard that Lazarus was sick, he stayed where he was two more days,

John 11:17-18 On his arrival, Jesus found that Lazarus had already been in the tomb for four days. Now Bethany was less than two miles from Jerusalem, Jesus had the most important ASSIGNMENT on the planet, and yet He was never in a HURRY.

Mark 5:22-25 Then a leader of the local synagogue, whose name was Jairus, arrived. When he saw Jesus, he fell at his feet, pleading fervently with him. “My little daughter is dying,” he said. “Please come and lay your hands on her; heal her so she can live.” Jesus went with him, and all the people followed, crowding around him. A woman in the crowd had suffered for twelve years with constant bleeding.

Mark 5:33 Then the woman, knowing what had happened to her, came and fell at his feet and, trembling with fear, told him the whole truth.

Mark 5:34-36 He said to her, “Daughter, your faith has healed you. Go in peace and be freed from your suffering.” While Jesus was still speaking, some people came from the house of Jairus, the synagogue leader. “Your daughter is dead,” they said. “Why bother the teacher anymore?”

Overhearing what they said, Jesus told him, “Don’t be afraid; just believe.”

We aren’t HEALTHY because we are always in a HURRY.

Hurry Sickness: A behavior pattern characterized by continual rushing and anxiousness.

“Hurry and love are incompatible.”—John Mark Comer

Jesus was PRODUCTIVE, but He was never RUSHED.

If we follow an UNRUSHED Jesus, then we should be living an UNRUSHED life.

“If the devil can’t make you bad, he’ll make you busy.”—Corrie Ten Boom

Slow down to be with GOD.

Luke 5:15-16 Yet the news about him spread all the more, so that crowds of people came to hear him and to be healed of their sicknesses. But Jesus often withdrew to lonely places and prayed.

If you are too busy to SEEK God, you are too BUSY.

Psalms 46:10 “Be still, and know that I am God!

Slow down to make a DIFFERENCE with PEOPLE.

“Walk slowly through the crowd.”—John Maxwell

Mark 2:14 As he walked along, he saw Levi son of Alphaeus sitting at his tax collector’s booth. “Follow me and be my disciple,” Jesus said to him. So Levi got up and followed him.

You must slow down in order to SEE.

“Never be so busy as to not think of others.”—Mother Theresa

Slow down to ENJOY your SEASON.

Matthew 9:10 (YLT) And it came to pass, he reclining in the house, that lo, many tax-gatherers and sinners having come, were lying with Jesus and his disciples, When you rush towards what is NEXT, you miss what is NOW.

Matthew 11:28-30 Then Jesus said, “Come to me, all of you who are weary and carry heavy burdens, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you. Let me teach you, because I am humble and gentle at heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy to bear, and the burden I give you is light.”

Are you going to be full of disease or fulfilling your destiny?

Today we are joined by some amazing friends at Coastal who have specialized in coaching people to improve their physical health. They also hold a strong Christian faith and see the value on a strong and healthy physical body to serve God.

For physical training is of some value, but godliness has value for all things, holding promise for both the present life and the life to come. -1 Timothy 4:8

“The pain of regret is worse than failure.” – M.T.Collins

Motivation lasts for a time. Change your mind and get a BIGGER why. Bigger than "Self". Make it for your kids. Make it be your legacy. Does this support your goals?

Does what you do support these 4 things?

Faith
Family
Fitness
Fun

Surround yourself with people that are ahead of you. Whether that is spiritual or physical. We will become more like the people we spend time with.

There is correlation behind anxiety, depression, and food is mind-blowing.

In this weekend's message we focused on a simple plan to grow in your habits of pursuing God's Word!

Life can feel chaotic when it's spinning so quickly. How do we get to a place where life is not so out-of-control.

What can be a stabilier to this chaos?

The goal is to move to the center of God's will for your life.

Knowing is different than doing!

Actually picking up God's Word and applying it is WAY different than knowing you "should".

Matthew 7:24 MSG These words I speak to you are not incidental additions to your life, homeowner improvements to your standard of living. They are foundational words, words to build a life on. If you work these words into your life, you are like a smart carpenter who built his house on solid rock.

I must accept its AUTHORITY.

I Thessalonians 2:13 NIV And we also thank God continually because, when you received the word of God, which you heard from us, you accepted it not as a human word, but as it actually is, the word of God, which is indeed at work in you who believe. I must assimilate its TRUTHS. By LISTENING to God’s word.

Romans 10:17 NKJV So then faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.

Luke 8:18 NIV Therefore consider carefully how you listen…

By READING God’s word.

Matthew 4:4 Jesus answered, “It is written: ‘Man shall not live on bread alone, but on every word that comes from the mouth of God.’”

By RETAINING God’s word.

Psalm 119:11 NIV I have hidden your word in my heart that I might not sin against you.\

I must APPLY its principles.

James 1:22 NIV Do not merely listen to the word, and so deceive yourselves.

Do what it says.

Try this:

5 minutes a day in Prayer

5 minutes a day in Worship

10-15 minutes a day in the Word.

Let’s dive in to discussing the latest message in Built to Last!

Watch Online: https://youtu.be/I1g5KuUtDGo

There is a trap that we get caught in by the enemy, but we need to be aware.

Forgiveness is a heart matter, not just lip-service. Reflect and see if you are holding bitterness or unforgiveness. See other people in a deeper way — when they are wanting to break you, what brokenness may they be going though.

REMEMBER the grace and forgiveness that God has given you.

Ask God for help! "Holy Spirit, help me!"

“pray continually,” ‭‭1 Thessalonians‬ ‭5:17‬

“I don’t often spend more than half an hour in prayer at one time, but I never go more than half an hour without praying.” — Smith Wigglesworth

“There is nothing impossible with God. All the impossibility is with us when we measure God by the limitations of our unbelief.” — Smith Wigglesworth

Pray for the person who you are forgiving.

God help them find healing
God help them to recognize their brokenness.
God help them find you.
God help them find peace.

Matthew 5:44, "But I tell you, love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you"

Lack of forgiveness and bitterness doesn't imprison the other person. It affects YOU.

Why would you let someone/something that hurt you once continue to hurt you your entire life?

I Samuel 18:6-9 When the victorious Israelite army was returning home after David had killed the Philistine, women from all the towns of Israel came out to meet King Saul. They sang and danced for joy with tambourines and cymbals. This was their song: “Saul has killed his thousands, and David his ten thousands!” This made Saul very angry. “What’s this?” he said. “They credit David with ten thousands and me with only thousands. Next they’ll be making him their king!” So from that time on Saul kept a jealous eye on David.

WHEN WE GET TRAPPED IT:

It CONTAMINATES us.

Hebrews 12:15 Look after each other so that none of you fails to receive the grace of God. Watch out that no poisonous root of bitterness grows up to trouble you, corrupting many.

It HINDERS us.

Mark 11:25 And when you stand praying, if you hold anything against anyone, forgive them, so that your Father in heaven may forgive you your sins.”

HOW TO GET OUT OF THE TRAP:

Remember that we have been FORGIVEN.

Ephesians 4:31-32 Let all bitterness and wrath and anger and clamor and slander be put away from you, along with all malice. Be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, as God in Christ forgave you.

DEPEND on the POWER of the Holy Spirit.

Romans 8:11 The Spirit of God, who raised Jesus from the dead, lives in you. And just as God raised Christ Jesus from the dead, he will give life to your mortal bodies by this same Spirit living within you.

Pray for God’s BEST in their life.

Luke 6:27-28 “But to you who are willing to listen, I say, love your enemies! Do good to those who hate you. Bless those who curse you. Pray for those who hurt you.

Romans 12:14 Bless those who persecute you. Don’t curse them; pray that God will bless them.

3 John 2 Dear friend, I pray that you may enjoy good health and that all may go well with you, even as your soul is getting along well. John 5:1-6 Afterward Jesus returned to Jerusalem for one of the Jewish holy days. Inside the city, near the Sheep Gate, was the pool of Bethesda, with five covered porches. Crowds of sick people—blind, lame, or paralyzed—lay on the porches. One of the men lying there had been sick for thirty-eight years. When Jesus saw him and knew he had been ill for a long time, he asked him, “Would you like to get well?”

Do you want to get HEALTHY?

Health: FREE and FULLY alive, COMPLETE

4 Health Crisis in our world:

Spiritual-February 2022

The STRUGGLE is SPIRITUAL.

This will be your BEST year yet when it is your best year SPIRITUALLY.

21 DAYS OF PRAYER AND FASTING

Prayer connects you with GOD.

Fasting disconnects you from the WORLD.

The combination of the two is POWERFUL.

Emotional- April 2022

Financial- May 2022

Relational- September 2022

John 5:7 “I can’t, sir,” the sick man said, “for I have no one to put me into the pool when the water bubbles up. Someone else always gets there ahead of me.”

You can make EXCUSES or you can make PROGRESS, but you can’t make both.

Exodus 3:7,10-11 Then the Lord told him, “I have certainly seen the oppression of my people in Egypt. I have heard their cries of distress because of their harsh slave drivers. Yes, I am aware of their suffering. Now go, for I am sending you to Pharaoh. You must lead my people Israel out of Egypt.” But Moses protested to God, “Who am I to appear before Pharaoh? Who am I to lead the people of Israel out of Egypt?”

Fear responds to God with “BUT”.

Faith responds to God with “YES”.

John 5:8-9 Jesus told him, “Stand up, pick up your mat, and walk!” Instantly, the man was healed! He rolled up his sleeping mat and began walking! But this miracle happened on the Sabbath,

You focus on doing the NATURAL, and trust God to do the SUPERNATURAL. NAHSHON The FIRST step is always the HARDEST step.

Habakkuk 2:2 Then the Lord answered me and said: “Write the vision and make itplain on tablets, that he may run who reads it.

My life would be healthier if I started or stopped ____________________.

John 5:9-14 Instantly, the man was healed! He rolled up his sleeping mat and began walking! But this miracle happened on the Sabbath, so the Jewish leaders objected. They said to the man who was cured, “You can’t work on the Sabbath! The law doesn’t allow you to carry that sleeping mat!” But he replied, “The man who healed me told me, ‘Pick up your mat and walk.’” “Who said such a thing as that?” they demanded. The man didn’t know, for Jesus had disappeared into the crowd. But afterward Jesus found him in the Temple and told him, “Now you are well; so stop sinning, or something even worse may happen to you.”

A healthy life starts with a MIRACLE but is sustained through our HABITS. We are all one HABIT away from a HEALTHIER life.

YOUVersion

Galatians 6:7-9 Don’t be misled—you cannot mock the justice of God. You will always harvest what you plant. Those who live only to satisfy their own sinful nature will harvest decay and death from that sinful nature. But those who live to please the Spirit will harvest everlasting life from the Spirit. So let’s not get tired of doing what is good. At just the right time we will reap a harvest of blessing if we don’t give up.

Bad habits always come back to BITE us.

Good habits always come back to BLESS us.

This weekend's message from Pastor Josh, "God Given Desires" is available online now: https://youtu.be/ZmjObmCBUB8

DESIRE to learn X WILLINGNESS to change = your level of TEACHABILITY

God's promises are clear, worry makes things cloudy.

God is not protecting your PLAN; He's protecting His PROMISES.

When it's not going according to what you planned, keep focused on HIS promises. Don't panic!

Proverbs 19:21, "Many are the plans in a person’s heart, but it is the LORD’s purpose that prevails."

Psalm 37:4 NKJV Delight yourself also in the Lord, And He shall give you the desires of your heart.

How do we DEVELOP the right DESIRES?

Ezekiel 11:19-20 NIV 19 I will give them an undivided heart and put a new spirit in them; I will remove from them their heart of stone and give them a heart of flesh. 20 Then they will follow my decrees and be careful to keep my laws. They will be my people, and I will be their God.

DESIRE to learn X WILLINGNESS to change = your level of TEACHABILITY

God wants to GIVE you good things so He can TEACH you about His goodness. "Everything worthwhile is uphill." - John Maxwell
FAITHFULNESS isn’t always FUN, but OBEDIENCE leads to FRUITFULNESS

Psalm 37:3 NKJV“Trust in the Lord, and do good; Dwell in the land, and feed on His faithfulness.

John 15:5-8 NIV5 “I am the vine; you are the branches. If you remain in me and I in you, you will bear much fruit; apart from me you can do nothing. 6 If you do not remain in me, you are like a branch that is thrown away and withers; such branches are picked up, thrown into the fire and burned. 7 If you remain in me and my words remain in you, ask whatever you wish, and it will be done for you. 8 This is to my Father’s glory, that you bear much fruit, showing yourselves to be my disciples.

“It’s true that I was 44 when we opened our first Walmart in 1962…and like most other overnight successes, it was about 20 years in the making.” ~ Sam Walton

God is not protecting your PLAN; He's protecting His PROMISES.

Psalm 37:5 NKJV Commit your way to the Lord, Trust also in Him, And He shall bring it to pass.”

God doesn’t want to simply live up to your EXPECTATIONS; He wants to EXCEED them!

Hebrews 10:23 NIV“ Let us hold unswervingly to the hope we profess, for he who promised is faithful.”

Psalm 51:10-12 GNT Create a pure heart in me, O God, and put a new and loyal spirit in me.

As a church we start the New Year with 21 Days of Prayer and Fasting. We seek God and set aside distractions to see what God has for us coming up this year. This time creates a lense, a theme and a focus for us.

Prayer: connects us to God

Fasting: disconnects us from the world.

Ask God what he would have you do for this time.

When the pressures of life are arising, and stresses from the season overtaking you - what will you do?

Matthew 1:18-25, "This is how the birth of Jesus the Messiah came about : His mother Mary was pledged to be married to Joseph, but before they came together, she was found to be pregnant through the Holy Spirit.

Because Joseph her husband was faithful to the law, and yet did not want to expose her to public disgrace, he had in mind to divorce her quietly.

But after he had considered this, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream and said, “Joseph son of David, do not be afraid to take Mary home as your wife, because what is conceived in her is from the Holy Spirit.

She will give birth to a son, and you are to give him the name Jesus, because he will save his people from their sins.”

All this took place to fulfill what the Lord had said through the prophet:

“The virgin will conceive and give birth to a son, and they will call him Immanuel” (which means “God with us”).

When Joseph woke up, he did what the angel of the Lord had commanded him and took Mary home as his wife.

But he did not consummate their marriage until she gave birth to a son. And he gave him the name Jesus.

2 Kings 4:21-27 She carried him up and laid him on the bed of the man of God, then shut the door and left him there. She sent a message to her husband: “Send one of the servants and a donkey so that I can hurry to the man of God and come right back.” “Why go today?” he asked. “It is neither a new moon festival nor a Sabbath.” But she said, “It will be all right.” So she saddled the donkey and said to the servant, “Hurry! Don’t slow down unless I tell you to.” As she approached the man of God at Mount Carmel, Elisha saw her in the distance. He said to Gehazi, “Look, the woman from Shunem is coming. Run out to meet her and ask her, ‘Is everything all right with you, your husband, and your child?’” “Yes,” the woman told Gehazi, “everything is fine.” But when she came to the man of God at the mountain, she fell to the ground before him and caught hold of his feet. Gehazi began to push her away, but the man of God said, “Leave her alone. She is deeply troubled, but the Lord has not told me what it is.” How to overcome Worry: 1. Lay it DOWN & Shut the DOOR

PHil 4: 6a Don’t worry about anything; instead, pray about everything...

Phil 4:6b ...tell God what you need, and thank him for all he has done.

Fill the GAP

Phil 4:8-9 And now, dear brothers and sisters, one final thing. Fix your thoughts on what is true, and honorable, and right, and pure, and lovely, and admirable. Think about things that are excellent and worthy of praise. Keep putting into practice all you learned and received from me—everything you heard from me and saw me doing. Then the God of peace will be with you.

This weekend we talked about an important concept as a church, our LEGACY. In the weekend message, we spent time in Matthew 27.

In that passage we read the story of Joseph of Arimathea who offered his burial tomb to house Jesus’ body after the crucifixion. His preparation lead him to be able to do something significant when he offered what he had to the Lord. It is a good thing to work on a plan for your future. Your finances, your career, ministry etc.

The issue arises when we hold TOO TIGHTLY to what we have been blessed with. We hoard for ourselves. Oftentimes a poverty/limited mentality prevents us from living an open handed life TRUSTING God with all of our resources.

Matthew 27:57-60 As evening approached, Joseph, a rich man from Arimathea who had become a follower of Jesus, went to Pilate and asked for Jesus’ body. And Pilate issued an order to release it to him. Joseph took the body and wrapped it in a long sheet of clean linen cloth. He placed it in his own new tomb, which had been carved out of the rock. Then he rolled a great stone across the entrance and left.

Matthew 27:57 As evening approached, Joseph, a rich man from Arimathea who had become a follower of Jesus,We have been BLESSED to be a BLESSING.

2 Corinthians 9:11 You will be enriched in every way so that you can be generous on every occasion, and through us your generosity will result in thanksgiving to God.

Your BEST LIFE is a life spent being a BLESSING!

I Timothy 6:17-19 Command those who are rich in this present world not to be arrogant nor to put their hope in wealth, which is so uncertain, but to put their hope in God, who richly provides us with everything for our enjoyment. Command them to do good, to be rich in good deeds, and to be generous and willing to share. In this way they will lay up treasure for themselves as a firm foundation for the coming age, so that they may take hold of the life that is truly life.

Practical application: If God gives you MORE, do MORE.

Matthew 27:58-59 went to Pilate and asked for Jesus’ body. And Pilate issued an order to release it to him. Joseph took the body and wrapped it in a long sheet of clean linen cloth.

The greater the CAUSE the greater the COMMITMENT.

I Corinthians 12:27 Now you are the body of Christ, and each one of you is a part of it. Ephesians 5:25b-27 Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her to make her holy, cleansing her by the washing with water through the word, and to present her to himself as a radiant church, The Church is God’s SOLUTION to man’s STRUGGLES.

You can’t serve God and money, but you can serve GOD with MONEY. “If our expenditure on comforts, luxuries, amusements, etc., is up to the common standard common to those with the same income as our own, we are probably GIVING AWAY TOO LITTLE.” -C.S. Lewis, Mere Christianity

If our charities do not at all pinch or hamper us, I should say THEY ARE TOO SMALL.

There ought to be things we should like to do and cannot because our charitable expenditures excludes them.” -C.S. Lewis, Mere Christianity

Matthew 27:60 He placed it in his own new tomb, which had been carved out of the rock. Then he rolled a great stone across the entrance and left.

Our lives should BUILD something that will OUTLAST us.

I Corinthians 3:10-14 By the grace God has given me, I laid a foundation as a wise builder, and someone else is building on it. But each one should build with care. For no one can lay any foundation other than the one already laid, which is Jesus Christ. If anyone builds on this foundation using gold, silver, costly stones, wood, hay or straw, their work will be shown for what it is, because the Day will bring it to light. It will be revealed with fire, and the fire will test the quality of each person’s work. If what has been built survives, the builder will receive a reward.“

The sword is the soldier’s OFFENSIVE weapon.

Ephesians 6:13-16 Therefore put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand. Stand firm then, with the belt of truth buckled around your waist, with the breastplate of righteousness in place, and with your feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace. In addition to all this, take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one. Take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God.

John 10:10 The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full.

The WORD of GOD

The word of God not only provides the Christian soldier with a solid DEFENSE but also a potent OFFENSE.

GRAPHE: the book/ the writings

RHEMA: the spoken word

It’s not enough to just STUDY the word or KNOW the word, you must SPEAK the word.

2 Corinthians 10:4-5a The weapons we fight with are not the weapons of the world. On the contrary, they have divine power to demolish strongholds. We demolish arguments and every pretension that sets itself up against the knowledge of God,

The word is INSPIRED by GOD.

2 Timothy 3:16-17 All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness, so that the servant of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work.

A COMMAND is only as powerful as the AUTHORITY of who it comes from.

The word of God is LIVING and ACTIVE.

Hebrews 4:12 For the word of God is alive and active. Sharper than any double-edged sword, it penetrates even to dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow; it judges the thoughts and attitudes of the heart.

Isaiah 55:11 So shall My word be that goes forth from My mouth; It shall not return to Me void, But it shall accomplish what I please, And it shall prosper in the thing for which I sent it.

God’s word brings LIFE to DEAD things.The word of God must be APPLIED.

Joshua 1:7-8 (NIV) “Be careful to obey all the law my servant Moses gave you; do not turn from it to the right or to the left, that you may be successful wherever you go. Do not let this Book of the Law depart from your mouth; meditate on it day and night, so that you may be careful to do everything written in it. Then you will be prosperous and successful.”

SPEAK it

THINK it

Matthew 15:18 (NLT) “But the words you speak come from the heart.”

This week we talked about the full salvation story, working out of our salvation. Sanctification is a process that refreshes our entire mind, body, will and emotions. Be aware that God is still at work within you! There is more to come in this walk on a daily basis. Daily dying to ourselves, surrendering our desires. Consistently seeking to become more like Jesus every day. We may want these things right here, right now — but stay disciplined and allow the Lord to renew your mind.

“Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things.” ‭‭Philippians‬ ‭4:8‬ ‭NIV ‬‬

“We demolish arguments and every pretension that sets itself up against the knowledge of God, and we take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ.” ‭‭2 Corinthians‬ ‭10:5‬ ‭NIV‬‬

Write scriptures out to conquer the thoughts. We need to walk in FREEDOM!

Take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God.

The helmet provided IDENTITY and SAFETY for the soldier. SALVATION Salvation is God’s life-changing POWER to TRANSFORM.

SALVATION provides the Christian soldier with their identity and their safety in CHRIST. Salvation of our SPIRIT is automatic Salvation of our SOUL takes work.

Philippians 2:12 Therefore, my dear friends, as you have always obeyed—not only in my presence, but now much more in my absence—continue to work outyour salvation with fear and trembling,Where the MIND goes, the MAN follows. Proverbs 23:7 For as he thinks in his heart, so is he…

2 Corinthians 10:5 We take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ.

Romans 12:2 Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will.Think different about WHO YOU ARE.

John 1:42 You are Simon the son of John; you shall be called Cephas (which is translated Peter).

2 Corinthians 5:17 Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come: the old has gone, the new is here!

My ISSUE is not my IDENTITY. Failure is an EVENT, not a PERSON. Think different about WHAT YOU DO. God is not trying to CONTROL you, He is trying to FREE you.

Philippians 4:8-9 Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things. Whatever you have learned or received or heard from me, or seen in me—put it into practice. And the God of peace will be with you.

I Corinthians 2:16 For, “Who has known the mind of the Lord so as to instruct him?” But we have the mind of Christ.

MINDSET CHANGES:I am not living for SELF, I am living to SERVE. I am not holding GRUDGES,I forgive QUICKLY. I am not managing SIN, I am walking in FREEDOM. I am not ALONE,I am a VITAL PART of the family of God.I am not looking at people as my PROBLEM, I am looking at people as my PURPOSE.I am not GIVING UP, I am just getting STARTED.

When we deposit faith into our life, it feeds our spirit. It strengthens and sustains you. Keep exercising your faith. Develop your faith muscles. Hear the word, and apply it.

Isaiah 55:11 “so is my word that goes out from my mouth: It will not return to me empty, but will accomplish what I desire and achieve the purpose for which I sent it.” When have you had to take up your shield of faith?

Full series playlist: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLAYU8tP-3OqgybsWzUnUx_vYyOdRzeFjl

Surround yourself with people of faith to help lift you up, even when you’re getting crushed. Don’t just take what you see, but what GOD SAID!

2 Corinthians 4:18, “So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen, since what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal.” Our feelings can be fatal. They change. Act on your FAITH! Challenge: Go to God’s Word when you are met with opposition.

Ephesians 6:13-16 Therefore put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand. Stand firm then, with the belt of truth buckled around your waist, with the breastplate of righteousness in place, and with your feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace. In addition to all this, take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one.

The shield is the FIRST line of PROTECTION against the attacks of the enemy.

FAITH

Hebrews 11:1 Now faith is confidence in what we hope for and assurance about what we do not see.

Faith “pistis”—(appears 240 times in the New Testament) ACTING on the TRUTH

Faith is not FEELINGS

2 Corinthians 5:7 For we live by faith, not by sight.

“Any faith that must be supported by the evidences of the senses is not REAL faith.”—A.W. Tozer

Feelings are CIRCUMSTANTIAL.

Faith is a CHOICE.

“PUT ON”—ALWAYS needed

“TAKE UP”—AS-NEEDED basis

Faith is a protective BARRIER between us and the ATTACKS of Satan.

Faith must be RECEIVED.

Romans 10:17 Consequently, faith comes from hearing the message, and the message is heard through the word about Christ.

When I listen to TRASH, I deposit DOUBT.

When I listen to TRUTH, I deposit FAITH.

Isaiah 55:11 so is my word that goes out from my mouth: It will not return to me empty, but will accomplish what I desire and achieve the purpose for which I sent it.

Faith must GROW.

James 2:17 In the same way, faith by itself, if it is not accompanied by action, is dead.

Faith is a MUSCLE that either DECLINES or DEVELOPS.

2 Thessalonians 1:3 We ought always to thank God for you, brothers and sisters, and rightly so, because your faith is growing more and more, and the love all of you have for one another is increasing.

When is the last time you EXERCISED your faith?

Faith must be ACTIVATED.

I activate my faith by SPEAKING God’s word.

2 Corinthians 4:13 It is written: “I believed; therefore I have spoken.” Since we have that same spirit of faith, we also believe and therefore speak,

Joshua 24:15 But as for me and my household, we will serve the Lord.”

Proverbs 22:6 Start children off on the way they should go, and even when they are old they will not turn from it.

Philippians 1:6 being confident of this, that he who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus.

Isaiah 53:5 But he was pierced for our transgressions, he was crushed for our iniquities; the punishment that brought us peace was on him, and by his wounds we are healed.

Psalm 107:20 He sent out his word and healed them; he rescued them from the grave.

Isaiah 26:3 You will keep in perfect peace those whose minds are steadfast, because they trust in you.

Matthew 6:26-27 Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they? Can any one of you by worrying add a single hour to your life?

Isaiah 54:17 no weapon forged against you will prevail,

Shoes: to provide STABILITY and MOBILITY for the soldier.

The stable soldier can STAND FIRM when the enemy attacks.

Ephesians 6:13-15 Therefore put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand. Stand firm then, with the belt of truth buckled around your waist, with the breastplate of righteousness in place, and with your feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace.

I Corinthians 15:58a Therefore, my dear brothers and sisters, stand firm. Let nothing move you.

The mobile soldier can QUICKLY MOVE into battle.

Luke 14:23 Then the master told his servant, ‘Go out to the roads and country lanes and compel them to come in, so that my house will be full.

Matthew 28:19-20 Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.”

Ephesians 6:15 and with your feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace.

PEACE Peace: calm and tranquility of SOUL amid DIFFICULT circumstances

Peace should be the DEFAULT of the believer.

Philippians 4:7 And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.

Peace is what I HAVE because Jesus LIVES IN me.

Ephesians 6:15 and with your feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace.

ABC’s of the Gospel: ADMIT, BELIEVE, COME

Isaiah 9:6 For to us a child is born, to us a son is given, and the government will be on his shoulders. And he will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.

Colossians 3:15 Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, since as members of one body you were called to peace.

John 14:27 Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid.

When my peace is based on my SITUATIONS, I am prone to FALL.

When my peace is based on my SAVIOR, I can stand FIRM.

Peace is what I MAKE because Jesus WORKS THROUGH me.

Romans 12:18 If it is possible, as far as it depends on you, live at peace with everyone.

Ephesians 2:14 For he himself is our peace, who has made the two groups one and has destroyed the barrier, the dividing wall of hostility,

Matthew 5:9 Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called children of God.

You won’t FIND peace until you MAKE peace.

Shalom: ultimate PEACE, WHOLENESS Since peace lives WITHIN me, I can ESTABLISH peace around me.

Where is God sending me to bring His peace?

The Circle Maker: Praying Circles Around Your Biggest Dreams and Greatest Fears

Ephesians 6:13-14 Therefore put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground,and after you have done everything, to stand. Stand firm then,with the belt of truth buckled around your waist,with the breastplate of righteousness in place

Breastplate: PROTECTION for your vital ORGANS.

Proverbs 4:23 Above all else, guard your heart, for everything you do flows from it.

RIGHTEOUSNESS

Righteousness: RIGHT LIVING, to meet a STANDARD,to pass INSPECTION

Righteousness GUARDS the most VITAL parts of your life.

Proverbs 13:6 Righteousness guards the person of integrity, but wickedness overthrows the sinner.

The enemy’s INVASION is always started by an INVITATION.

Unrighteousness is an INVITATION for the ENEMY to attack your life.

Righteousness can be FAKED, but God, nor the enemy is FOOLED.

Romans 3:10 As it is written: “There is no one righteous, not even one;

Jesus didn’t come to help you MANAGE SIN.

Jesus came to help you have VICTORY OVER SIN.

Righteousness is first EMBRACED, not EARNED.

Righteousness is both IMPUTED and IMPARTED.

Imputed: given to us at the MOMENT of our salvation, JUSTIFICATION

2 Corinthians 5:21 God made him who had no sin to be sin for us, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God.

I Peter 2:24 “He himself bore our sins” in his body on the cross, so that we might die to sins and live for righteousness; Have you been born again?

Imparted: WORKED OUT every day after salvation,

SANCTIFICATION

Righteousness TRANSFORMS us from the INSIDE OUT.

Ephesians 4:20-24 That, however, is not the way of life you learned when you heard about Christ and were taught in him in accordance with the truth that is in Jesus. You were taught, with regard to your former way of life, to put off your old self, which is being corrupted by its deceitful desires; to be made new in the attitude of your minds; and to put on the new self, created to be like God in true righteousness and holiness.

Whatever you feed, GROWS.Whatever you starve, DIES.

Feed your spirit = RIGHTEOUSNESS

Feed your flesh = ROTTENNESS

The same Jesus that SAVES us is the same Jesus that SANCTIFIES us.

We've been in a series about spiritual warfare and the Armor of God!

Playlist of Messages for The Fight of Your Life: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLAYU8tP-3OqgybsWzUnUx_vYyOdRzeFjl

How do we practically live out the TRUTH of God's Word?

It starts with discipline. Know God's Word, spend time reading it. Engage actively with Scripture.

How are you defining your life?

Accomplishments, status, etc. often shapes our core.

Make time for what's important in life!

Proverbs 3:1-2, "My son, do not forget my law, But let your heart keep my commands; For length of days and long life And peace they will add to you."

Matthew 11:28, "Then Jesus said, “Come to me, all of you who are weary and carry heavy burdens, and I will give you rest."

Knowing the truth and applying the truth are two totally different things.

"We know the truth, but it's hanging up in our closet. We're not putting it on." - TJ McCormick

You can know the truth, but it brings freedom to your life with you APPLY it.

Tenacity is attractive, but consistency and conviction has longevity.

"Just because I don't agree with what you're saying doesn't mean I hate you." - Shayla McCormick

Proverbs 3:3-6, "Never let loyalty and kindness leave you!

Tie them around your neck as a reminder.

Write them deep within your heart.

Then you will find favor with both God and people,

and you will earn a good reputation.

Trust in the Lord with all your heart;

do not depend on your own understanding.

Seek his will in all you do,

and he will show you which path to take."

"Discernment is not knowing the difference between right and wrong. It is knowing the difference between right and almost right.” — Charles Spurgeon

Ephesians 6:13-14 Therefore put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand. Stand firm then, with the belt of truth buckled around your waist,

The belt STABILIZES and STRENGTHENS the core.

TRUTH Truth: An OBJECTIVE STANDARD by which reality is measured.

TRUTH is what stabilizes the believer during BATTLE.

John 8:44 You belong to your father, the devil, and you want to carry out your father’s desires. He was a murderer from the beginning, not holding to the truth, for there is no truth in him. When he lies, he speaks his native language, for he is a liar and the father of lies.

The Devil DEALS in DECEPTION.

Truth is ABSOLUTE For something to be TRUE, something else must be FALSE.

Discernment is not knowing the difference between right and wrong; it is knowing the difference between right and ALMOST RIGHT.—Charles Spurgeon

Truth can be KNOWN

Hebrews 1:1-3 In the past God spoke to our ancestors through the prophets at many times and in various ways, but in these last days he has spoken to us by his Son, whom he appointed heir of all things, and through whom also he made the universe. The Son is the radiance of God’s glory and the exact representation of his being, sustaining all things by his powerful word. After he had provided purification for sins, he sat down at the right hand of the Majesty in heaven.

John 14:6 Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me. Truth is a PERSON, and his name is JESUS.

WWJD: WHAT WOULD JESUS DO

The Truth HURTS But it always HELPS. John 8:32 Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.”

It’s GOD’S truth, not MAN’S ideas, that set people FREE.

God starts moving on our behalf when we pray. Realize that there is spiritual warfare going on. In Daniel 10, Daniel prays to God. On day 21 the angel comes as an answer to his prayer, but the angel was delayed. There was work going on that Daniel was unaware of in the natural realm. There is a battle going on in the spiritual realms. Don't give up when there is a delay.

The answer may not be what we expect. How do you know God answered the prayer? There is peace and confirmation.

How do you face the fight?

"And let us not grow weary of doing good, for in due season we will reap, if we do not give up." Galatians 6:9

Ephesians 6:10-17 Finally, be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power. Put on the full armor of God, so that you can take your stand against the devil’s schemes. For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms. Therefore put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand. Stand firm then, with the belt of truth buckled around your waist, with the breastplate of righteousness in place, and with your feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace. In addition to all this, take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one. Take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God.

What is the context? SPIRITUAL WARFARE

2 Corinthians 10:3-4 For though we live in the world, we do not wage war as the world does. The weapons we fight with are not the weapons of the world. On the contrary, they have divine power to demolish strongholds.

Spiritual attacks should be EXPECTED.

2 Corinthians 2:11 in order that Satan might not outwit us. For we are not unaware of his schemes.

The level of ATTACK exposes the level of your ABILITY.

The greatest spiritual ATTACKS are right before your greatest spiritual BREAKTHROUGHS.

Spiritual attacks must be EXPOSED.

Indicators That You Are Under Spiritual Attack:

Extreme CONFUSION

Lack of PEACE

Desire to QUIT

Intense TEMPTATION

Drawn to OLD LIFESTYLES

Spiritual VICTORY can be EXPERIENCED.

2 Corinthians 10:3-4 For though we live in the world, we do not wage war as the world does. The weapons we fight with are not the weapons of the world. On the contrary, they have divine power to demolish strongholds.

You can’t fight spiritual WARFARE with physical WEAPONS. OUR SPIRITUAL WEAPONS·

The NAME of JESUS

Mark 16:17 And these signs will accompany those who believe: In my name they will drive out demons; they will speak in new tongues;

John 16:23-24 Very truly I tell you, my Father will give you whatever you ask in my name. Until now you have not asked for anything in my name. Ask and you will receive, and your joy will be complete. ·

The WORD of GOD

Hebrews 4:12 For the word of God is alive and active. Sharper than any double-edged sword, it penetrates even to dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow; it judges the thoughts and attitudes of the heart.

God’s word is the only OFFENSIVE weapon against the enemy. Jesus’ response to the attack of the enemy: “IT IS WRITTEN”

2 Corinthians 10:5 We demolish arguments and every pretension that sets itself up against the knowledge of God, and we take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ. ·

AGREEMENT in PRAYER

Matthew 18:19-20 “Again, truly I tell you that if two of you on earth agree about anything they ask for, it will be done for them by my Father in heaven. For where two or three gather in my name, there am I with them.”

WE is always better than ME. ·

PRAISE and WORSHIP

James 4:7 So humble yourselves before God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.

When you are under attack you can WHINE or you can WORSHIP.

SPIRITUAL WARFARE

Know who your ENEMY is.

Ephesians 6:10-11 Finally, be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power.Put on the full armor of God, so that you can take your stand against the devil’s schemes.

Our enemy is DESTRUCTIVE

John 10:10 The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full. Our enemy is DECEPTIVE

2 Corinthians 11:14 And no wonder, for Satan himself masquerades as an angel of light.

Our enemy is DETERMINED

I Peter 5:8 Be alert and of sober mind. Your enemy the devil prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour.

Know your PART.

Ephesians 6:10 Finally, be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power.

Ephesians 6:10 Finally, be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power.

Joshua 1:9 Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go.”

Psalm 73:26 My flesh and my heart may fail, but God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever.

Habakkuk 3:9 The Sovereign Lord is my strength; he makes my feet like the feet of a deer, he enables me to tread on the heights.

Isaiah 35:4 say to those with fearful hearts, “Be strong, do not fear; your God will come, he will come with vengeance; with divine retribution he will come to save you.”

Being strong in the Lord isn’t about God GIVING you strength. It is about God BECOMING your strength.

I Samuel 30:6 David was greatly distressed because the men were talking of stoning him; each one was bitter in spirit because of his sons and daughters. But David found strength in the Lord his God.

2 Corinthians 12:9 But he said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.”

Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ’s power may rest on me.

My greatest STRENGTH is found at the point of my greatest SURRENDER.

Know your ODDS.

Difficulty is measured by the CAPACITY of the AGENT doing the work.

When God is added to the equation, the problem goes from DIFFICULT to EASILY DOABLE.

This Weekend's Message from our Rattled! Series, "Live a Life that Matters for Eternity": https://youtu.be/ESQ4dqOxqCs talked about submitting your plans to God.

Our plans shift often because of pain and difficulties.

Ask yourself, "Do my plans align with God's Word?"

How do you find people that you're not "trying to impress", and with whom you are not afraid to be vulnerable. Ask those people questions. Ask for your blindspots. Be honest and let them know who you truly are.

When you try to do it all yourself, you are limited in your reach. Start giving more away so that other people can lead and grow.

James 5:8 You, too, must be patient. Take courage, for the coming of the Lord is near.

If I find in myself a desire which no experience in this world can satisfy, the most probable explanation is that I was made for another world. --C.S. Lewis

Live with URGENCY.

James 4:13-14 Look here, you who say, “Today or tomorrow we are going to a certain town and will stay there a year. We will do business there and make a profit.” How do you know what your life will be like tomorrow? Your life is like the morning fog—it’s here a little while, then it’s gone.

Live as though Christ died yesterday, rose today, and is returning tomorrow. —Martin Luther

Submit to God’s PLAN.

James 4:15-17 What you ought to say is, “If the Lord wants us to, we will live and do this or that.” Otherwise you are boasting about your own pretentious plans, and all such boasting is evil. Remember, it is sin to know what you ought to do and then not do it.

Build a LEGACY.

James 5:1-6 Look here, you rich people: Weep and groan with anguish because of all the terrible troubles ahead of you. Your wealth is rotting away, and your fine clothes are moth-eaten rags. Your gold and silver are corroded. The very wealth you were counting on will eat away your flesh like fire. This corroded treasure you have hoarded will testify against you on the day of judgment. For listen! Hear the cries of the field workers whom you have cheated of their pay. The cries of those who harvest your fields have reached the ears of the Lord of Heaven’s Armies. You have spent your years on earth in luxury, satisfying your every desire. You have fattened yourselves for the day of slaughter. You have condemned and killed innocent people, who do not resist you.

Live with EXPECTANCY.

James 5:7-8 Dear brothers and sisters,be patient as you wait for the Lord’s return. Consider the farmers who patiently wait for the rains in the fall and in the spring. They eagerly look for the valuable harvest to ripen. You, too, must be patient. Take courage, for the coming of the Lord is near.

If you read history, you will find that the Christians who did most for the present world were precisely those who thought most of the next. –C.S. Lewis

This Weekend's Message from our Rattled! Series, "Watch Your Words": https://youtu.be/9ZXtxEAG9dY talked about the HEART being the root of our words.

What are some ways we can put a FILTER on our EYE gate and EAR gate?

1. What are your relationships?

Do you have life-giving voices speaking into your life?
Who are you surrounding yourself with?

2. What are you watching?- Consider changes in your viewing - TV, news

3. What are you choosing to listen to?- Specifically choose podcasts/playlists rather than simply whatever comes on the mainstream radio

Audiobooks that can challenge and grow you

Luke 6:45, "A good man brings good things out of the good stored up in his heart, and an evil man brings evil things out of the evil stored up in his heart. For the mouth speaks what the heart is full of."

How can people change the declaration of their LIPS?

Realize that WE DO HARD THINGS! Your environment matters a lot.

Instill these values in your family, in your children.

Don't withhold life-giving words!

Words of AFFECTION

Words of PRAISE

Words of ENCOURAGEMENT

Words of HEALING

Words of FAITH

James 1:26 If you claim to be religious but don’t control your tongue, you are fooling yourself, and your religion is worthless.

My WORDS will LEAD my life.

James 3:3-4 We can make a large horse go wherever we want by means of a small bit in its mouth. And a small rudder makes a huge ship turn wherever the pilot chooses to go, even though the winds are strong.

Numbers 13:30-31 But Caleb tried to quiet the people as they stood before Moses. “Let’s go at once to take the land,” he said. “We can certainly conquer it!”31 But the other men who had explored the land with him disagreed. “We can’t go up against them! They are stronger than we are!”

We SHAPE our words and then our words SHAPE us.

My words can WRECK my WORLD.

James 3:5-6 In the same way, the tongue is a small thing that makes grand speeches. But a tiny spark can set a great forest on fire. And among all the parts of the body, the tongue is a flame of fire. It is a whole world of wickedness, corrupting your entire body. It can set your whole life on fire, for it is set on fire by hell itself.

Proverbs 10:19 Too much talk leads to sin. Be sensible and keep your mouth shut.

Pass NEGATIVES up and PRAISE down.

My words always REVEAL my HEART.

James 3:9-12 Sometimes it praises our Lord and Father, and sometimes it curses those who have been made in the image of God. And so blessing and cursing come pouring out of the same mouth. Surely, my brothers and sisters, this is not right! Does a spring of water bubble out with both fresh water and bitter water? Does a fig tree produce olives, or a grapevine produce figs? No, and you can’t draw fresh water from a salty spring.

The real problem isn’t my TONGUE, it is my HEART.

James 3:7-8 People can tame all kinds of animals, birds, reptiles, and fish, but no one can tame the tongue. It is restless and evil, full of deadly poison. 1. INVITE God to CHANGE my heart.

Jeremiah 24:7 I will give them hearts that recognize me as the Lord. They will be my people, and I will be their God, for they will return to me wholeheartedly.

Psalm 51:10 Create in me a clean heart, O God. Renew a loyal spirit within me.

Psalm 19:14 May the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be pleasing to you, O Lord, my rock and my redeemer.

Put a FILTER on what I ALLOW in my heart.

Matthew 12:34a-35 NIV For the mouth speaks what the heart is full of. A good man brings good things out of the good stored up in him, and an evil man brings evil things out of the evil stored up in him.

Proverbs 4:23 Above all else, guard your heart, for everything you do flows from it.

DECIDE to SPEAK words of life.

Words of AFFECTION

Matthew 3:16-17 As soon as Jesus was baptized, he went up out of the water. At that moment heaven was opened, and he saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove and alighting on him. And a voice from heaven said, “This is my Son, whom I love; with him I am well pleased.”

Words of PRAISE

Proverbs 25:11 Like golden apples in silver settings, so is a word spoken at the right time. Words of ENCOURAGEMENT

Ephesians 4:29 Do not let any unwholesome talk come out of your mouths, but only what is helpful for building others up according to their needs, that it may benefit those who listen. Words of HEALING Proverbs 15:4 Kind words are good medicine, but deceitful words can really hurt.

Words of FAITH

Romans 4:17 That is what the Scriptures mean when God told him, “I have made you the father of many nations.” This happened because Abraham believed in the God who brings the dead back to life and who creates new things out of nothing.

2 Corinthians 10:5 (NIV) We demolish arguments and every pretension that sets itself up against the knowledge of God, and we take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ.

Hosea 1:2-3 (NIV) When the Lord began to speak through Hosea, the Lord said to him, “Go, marry a promiscuous woman and have children with her, for like an adulterous wife this land is guilty of unfaithfulness to the Lord.” So he married Gomer daughter of Diblaim, and she conceived and bore him a son.

Hosea 3:1-3 (NIV) The Lord said to me, “Go, show your love to your wife again, though she is loved by another man and is an adulteress. Love her as the Lord loves the Israelites, though they turn to other gods and love the sacred raisin cakes.” So I bought her for fifteen shekels of silver and about a homer and a lethek of barley. Then I told her, “You are to live with me many days; you must not be a prostitute or be intimate with any man, and I will behave the same way toward you.”

Finding my Identity in my Insecurity creates Instability

John 10:10 The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full.

How to find your identity in Christ: Accept that I am Unconditionally Loved

Romans 8:38-39 (NIV) For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

Acknowledge that I am Fully Valued

Hosea 3:1-3 (NIV) The Lord said to me, “Go, show your love to your wife again, though she is loved by another man and is an adulteress. Love her as the Lord loves the Israelites, though they turn to other gods and love the sacred raisin cakes.”

Jeremiah 29:11 (NIV) For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.

Thank you for listening to the Coastal Midweek Podcast! Get to know why Pastor TJ chose the topic of the Rattled series as we lean into the book of James. James practical and straightforward.

The first message of this series: https://youtu.be/h2LX_BD5P7M

We discussed the difference between trials and temptations. A vital differentiation!

I'm going to keep pressing on.

"I have a purpose in my life. A destiny. I'm not going to get sidetracked by anything other than what I'm called to do."

What is your WHY?

Family, Spouse, Health, etc.

What are you persevering for? It has to be bigger than yourself. If it's just about you, you'll throw in the towel easily.

"I remind myself that it's people's eternities!" -TJ McCormick

"For out of the overflow of the heart, the mouth speaks." Luke 6:45b

"The heart is deceitful above all things

and beyond cure.

Who can understand it?" -Jeremiah 17:9

Do you believe and trust God's Word AS IT IS? Do you trust HIM or do you trust yourself?

Ask for help and use your resources.

Proverbs 15:22 Plans fail for lack of counsel, but with many advisers they succeed.

James 1:1 James, a servant of God and of the Lord Jesus Christ, To the twelve tribes scattered among the nations: Greetings

You can NAME it.

James 1:2 Consider it pure joy, my brothers and sisters, whenever you face trials of many kinds,

You will FIND whatever you are LOOKING for.

You can USE it.

James 1:3-4 because you know that the testing of your faith produces perseverance. Let perseverance finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything.

You can ASK for HELP.

James 1:5-8 If any of you lacks wisdom, you should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to you.But when you ask, you must believe and not doubt, because the one who doubts is like a wave of the sea, blown and tossed by the wind. That person should not expect to receive anything from the Lord. Such a person is double-minded and unstable in all they do.

It’s NOT from God.

James 1:13 When tempted, no one should say, “God is tempting me.” For God cannot be tempted by evil, nor does he tempt anyone; Trials are used by God to GROW you. Temptation is used by the enemy to RUIN you.

It’s PREDICTABLE.

James 1:14-15 but each person is tempted when they are dragged away by their own evil desire and enticed. Then, after desire has conceived, it gives birth to sin; and sin, when it is full-grown, gives birth to death.

DESIRE DISOBEDIENCE DEATH

It's not INEVITABLE.

James 1:16-17 Don’t be deceived, my dear brothers and sisters. Every good and perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of the heavenly lights, who does not change like shifting shadows.

I Corinthians 10:13 No temptation has overtaken you except what is common to mankind. And God is faithful; he will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear. But when you are tempted, he will also provide a way out so that you can endure it.

James 1:18 He chose to give us birth through the word of truth, that we might be a kind of first fruits of all he created. Thank you for joining us online this weekend!

We live Generously. Generosity = Love in Action 1 - 2 - 3 - 4 - 5 - 6 - 7 - 8 - 9 - 10

Benefits of Generosity:Generosity Honors God

2 Cor 9:13 As a result of your ministry, they will give glory to God. For your generosity to them and to all believers will prove that you are obedient to the Good News of Christ.

Prov 14:31 Whoever oppresses the poor shows contempt for their Maker, but whoever is kind to the needy honors God.

2 Cor 9:11 Yes, you will be enriched in every way so thatyou can always be generous. And when we take your gifts to those who need them, they will thank God.

Matt 25: 40 ... ‘I tell you the truth, when you did it to one of the least of these my brothers and sisters, you were doing it to me!’

Generosity draws me closer to God.

Matt 6:21 Wherever your treasure is, there the desires of your heart will also be.Generosity makes me more like Jesus.

Ephesians 5:1-2 Therefore be imitators of God as dear children. And walk in love, as Christ also has loved us and given Himself for us, an offering and a sacrifice to God for a sweet-smelling aroma.

Prov 21:26 Some people are always greedy for more, but the godly love to give!

Philippians 2:4-5 Don’t look out only for your own interests, but take an interest in others, too. You must have the same attitude that Christ Jesus had.

Generosity Demonstrates my Faith

Philemon 1:6 And I am praying that you will put into action the generosity that comes from your faith as you understand and experience all the good things we have in Christ.

Mal 3:10 Bring all the tithes into the storehouse so there will be enough food in my Temple. If you do,” says the Lord of Heaven’s Armies, “I will open the windows of heaven for you. I will pour out a blessing so great you won’t have enough room to take it in! Try it! Put me to the test!Generosity brings God's blessing.

Prov 22:9 Blessed are those who are generous, because they feed the poor.

Deut 15:10 Give generously to the poor, not grudgingly, for the Lord your God will bless you in everything you do.

2 Cor 9:7-8 You must each decide in your heart how much to give. And don’t give reluctantly or in response to pressure. “For God loves a person who gives cheerfully.” And God will generously provide all you need. Then you will always have everything you need and plenty left over to share with others. Generosity increases my happiness

Acts 20:35 And I have been a constant example of how you can help those in need by working hard. You should remember the words of the Lord Jesus: ‘It is more blessed to give than to receive.’”

Prov 11: 25 The generous will prosper; those who refresh others will themselves be refreshed.Generosity expands my influence

PS 112:9 They share freely and give generously to those in need. Their good deeds will be remembered forever. They will have influence and honor.

Proverbs 18:16 Giving a gift can open doors; it gives access to important people!

Generosity brings Gods Protection

PS 112:5-6 Good comes to those who lend money generously and conduct their business fairly.Such people will not be overcome by evil. Those who are righteous will be long remembered. Generosity is Eternal

1 Tim 6:18-19 Tell them to use their money to do good. They should be rich in good works and generous to those in need, always being ready to share with others. By doing this they will be storing up their treasure as a good foundation for the future so that they may experience true life.

Luke 16:9 Here’s the lesson: Use your worldly resources to benefit others and make friends. Then, when your possessions are gone, they will welcome you to an eternal home.

It's easy to impress people from a distance, but we need to impact them up close! We do life together - up close and personal! We're determined to have the friendliest church where people are able to connect with relationships. Many people are in desperate need of community.

"If you want to have friends, be friendly!" -TJ McCormick

We do hard things! Putting yourself out there can be hard sometimes.

Care to go into the conversation with ears to hear. It starts with us. Be willing to dig deeper. If you have 5 really good friends, you're crushing it in life. Community has acquaintances too - all of those relationships have their roll. Different friendships exist from different reasons.

Our Connect Groups provide safe environments to develop relationships. http://coastalcommunity.tv/groups

We want to make it hard for PEOPLE to go to hell by making it easy for them to go to church so they can experience, know and FOLLOW Jesus. We do LIFE TOGETHER.

“If you look at the people in your circle and don’t get inspired, then you don’t have a circle, you have a cage.” - Nipsey Hustle

ACTS 16:22-24 A mob quickly formed against Paul and Silas, and the city officials ordered them stripped and beaten with wooden rods. They were severely beaten, and then they were thrown into prison. The jailer was ordered to make sure they didn’t escape. So the jailer put them into the inner dungeon and clamped their feet in the stocks.

Prison of ISOLATION.

“Loneliness and the feeling of being unwanted is the most terrible poverty.” - Mother Theresa

Prison of INSULATION.

Prison of INSECURITY.

Acts 16:24-25a The jailer was ordered to make sure they didn’t escape. So the jailer put them into the inner dungeon and clamped their feet in the stocks. Around midnight Paul and Silas…

Find your PEOPLE.
Find your VOICE.

Acts 16:25 Around midnight Paul and Silas were praying and singing hymns to God, and the other prisoners were listening. Acts 16:26 Suddenly, there was a massive earthquake, and the prison was shaken to its foundations. All the doors immediately flew open, and the chains of every prisoner fell off!

Matthew 18:19-20 “I also tell you this: If two of you agree here on earth concerning anything you ask, my Father in heaven will do it for you. For where two or three gather together as my followers, I am there among them.”

Just because you are FREE doesn’t mean you are FINISHED.

Acts 16:27-31 The jailer woke up to see the prison doors wide open. He assumed the prisoners had escaped, so he drew his sword to kill himself. But Paul shouted to him, “Stop! Don’t kill yourself! We are all here!” The jailer called for lights and ran to the dungeon and fell down trembling before Paul and Silas. Then he brought them out and asked, “Sirs, what must I do to be saved?” They replied, “Believe in the Lord Jesus and you will be saved, along with everyone in your household.”

Forgiveness happens through JESUS, but healing happens through PEOPLE.

James 5:16 Confess your sins to each other and pray for each other so that you may be healed. The earnest prayer of a righteous person has great power and produces wonderful results.

God doesn’t want something FROM you, but He wants something FOR you.

John 13:17 Now that you know these things, you will be blessed if you do them.

Let’s talk about why it matters that SERVED people become SAVED people.

What matters for eternity? Someone’s life matters! How are you filling your time? There are 5 things that will make a huge impact on your life with Christ. “so that your giving may be in secret. Then your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you.” ‭‭Matthew‬ ‭6:4‬ ‭NIV‬‬

When we lose our why, we lose our way. Take time to refocus!

Put legs to your love

We want to make it HARD for people to go to hell by making it EASY for them to go to church so they can experience, know and follow Jesus.

SAVED people SERVE people.

Ephesians 2:10 NIV- For we are God’s handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.

John 13:1, 3-17 It was just before the Passover Feast. Jesus knew that the time had come for him to leave this world and go to the Father. Having loved his own who were in the world, he now showed them the full extent of his love. Jesus knew that the Father had put all things under his power, and that he had come from God and was returning to God; so he got up from the meal, took off his outer clothing, and wrapped a towel around his waist. After that, he poured water into a basin and began to wash his disciples' feet, drying them with the towel that was wrapped around him. He came to Simon Peter, who said to him, "Lord, are you going to wash my feet?" Jesus replied, "You do not realize now what I am doing, but later you will understand." "No," said Peter, "you shall never wash my feet.” Jesus answered, "Unless I wash you, you have no part with me." Then, Lord," Simon Peter replied, "not just my feet but my hands and my head as well!" Jesus answered, "A person who has had a bath needs only to wash his feet; his whole body is clean. And you are clean, though not every one of you." For he knew who was going to betray him, and that was why he said not every one was clean. When he had finished washing their feet, he put on his clothes and returned to his place. "Do you understand what I have done for you?" he asked them. "You call me 'Teacher' and 'Lord,' and rightly so, for that is what I am. Now that I, your Lord and Teacher, have washed your feet, you also should wash one another's feet. I have set you an example that you should do as I have done for you. I tell you the truth, no servant is greater than his master, nor is a messenger greater than the one who sent him. Now that you know these things, you will be blessed if you do them.

Jesus right there is separating the difference between KNOWING something and DOING something.

Mark 10:45 For even the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many.”

John 13:4 so he got up from the meal, took off his outer clothing, and wrapped a towel around his waist. Traits of A Servants Heart

Has a WILLINGNESS to get INVOLVED.
Goes LOW to bring UP.
Has a willingness to get MESSY to make a DIFFERENCE.

Philippians 2:6-9 Who, being in very nature God, did not consider equality with God something to be used to his own advantage;rather, he made himself nothing by taking the very nature of a servant, being made in human likeness.And being found in appearance as a man, he humbled himself by becoming obedient to death—even death on a cross!Therefore God exalted him to the highest place and gave him the name that is above every name,

God doesn’t want something FROM you, but He wants something FOR you.

John 13:17 Now that you know these things, you will be blessed if you do them. SERVED people become SAVED people. Thank you for joining us online this weekend!

This past weekend's message, "Going to the Other Side - Found People Find People," https://youtu.be/96nkHy5WuG4

We value evangelism and know the value of sharing our faith.

What does it look like to share our faith?

“People don't care how much you know until they know how much you care.”― John C. Maxwell

We encourage you to invest and invite. Spend time building relationships and invite people to visit church with you.

If you really believe that Jesus is the hope of the world, and you are my friend - how much do you hate me not to tell me?

"If I speak in the tongues of men or of angels, but do not have love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal." 1 Corinthians 13:1

Romans 5:6-8 says, "You see, at just the right time, when we were still powerless, Christ died for the ungodly.Very rarely will anyone die for a righteous person, though for a good person someone might possibly dare to die.But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us."

"I planted the seed in your hearts, and Apollos watered it, but it was God who made it grow.It’s not important who does the planting, or who does the watering. What’s important is that God makes the seed grow.The one who plants and the one who waters work together with the same purpose. And both will be rewarded for their own hard work." 1 Corinthians 3:6-8

We started Coastal almost 12 years ago with the value that, “We want to make it hard for people to go to hell by making it easy for them to go to church so they can EXPERIENCE, know and follow Jesus.”

Luke 19:10 NIV For the Son of Man came to seek and to save the lost.

Value: FOUND People FIND People

Mark 4:35-36 That day when evening came, he said to his disciples, “Let us go over to the other side.” Leaving the crowd behind, they took him along, just as he was, in the boat. There were also other boats with him.

You have to leave what’s COMFORTABLE for what is POSSIBLE.

Mark 4:37-41 A furious squall came up, and the waves broke over the boat, so that it was nearly swamped. Jesus was in the stern, sleeping on a cushion. The disciples woke him and said to him, “Teacher, don’t you care if we drown?” He got up, rebuked the wind and said to the waves, “Quiet! Be still!” Then the wind died down and it was completely calm. He said to his disciples, “Why are you so afraid? Do you still have no faith?” They were terrified and asked each other, “Who is this? Even the wind and the waves obey him!”

No OBSTACLE is too BIG for Jesus.

Mark 5:1-5 They went across the lake to the region of the Gerasenes. When Jesus got out of the boat, a man with an impure spirit came from the tombs to meet him. This man lived in the tombs, and no one could bind him anymore, not even with a chain. For he had often been chained hand and foot, but he tore the chains apart and broke the irons on his feet. No one was strong enough to subdue him. Night and day among the tombs and in the hills he would cry out and cut himself with stones.

Mark 5:18-19 As Jesus was getting into the boat, the man who had been demon-possessed begged to go with him. Jesus did not let him, but said, “Go home to your own people and tell them how much the Lord has done for you, and how he has had mercy on you.”

ONE person can make a huge DIFFERENCE.

Mark 5:20 So the man went away and began to tell in the Decapolis how much Jesus had done for him. And all the people were amazed.

Mark 6:53-56 When they had crossed over, they landed at Gennesaret and anchored there.As soon as they got out of the boat, people recognized Jesus. They ran throughout that whole region and carried the sick on mats to wherever they heard he was. And wherever he went—into villages, towns or countryside—they placed the sick in the marketplaces. They begged him to let them touch even the edge of his cloak, and all who touched it were healed.

Mark 7:31-32 Then Jesus left the vicinity of Tyre and went through Sidon, down to the Sea of Galilee and into the region of the Decapolis. There some people brought to him a man who was deaf and could hardly talk, and they begged Jesus to place his hand on him.

YOU can make a HUGE difference.

Mark 5:19 Jesus did not let him, but said, “Go home to your own people and tell them how much the Lord has done for you, and how he has had mercy on you.”

Romans 5:6 You see, at just the right time, when we were still powerless, Christ died for the ungodly.

Thank you for listening, Welcome back! Our new series “At the Core” just started this weekend with the focus on a value that we have Healthy People Grow. Our flat tires aren’t as obvious to us. That’s one of the reasons that community is so important. IDENTIFY IT!

Ask those questions! It’s one of the greatest ways to identify what we don’t see.

We need vehicle (think personal) maintenance. ACCEPT RESPONSIBILITY. Get in God’s Word every day. It is a , “lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path.” Psalm 119:105

“For the word of God is living and active and sharper than any double-edged sword, piercing even to the point of dividing soul from spirit, and joints from marrow; it is able to judge the desires and thoughts of the heart.” Hebrews 4:12 The Bible illuminates what needs to be changed.

James 5:16 says, “Therefore, confess your sins to one another and pray for one another, that you may be healed. The prayer of a righteous person has great power as it is working.” When people have helped you, don’t push them away, your willingness to change matters.

Romans 8:11 teaches us that, “The Spirit of God, who raised Jesus from the dead, lives in you. And just as God raised Christ Jesus from the dead, he will give life to your mortal bodies by this same Spirit living within you.”

Serving helps change your perspective, Matthew 20:28 says, “just as the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many.”

See it as NECESSARY.

Luke 15:11-12 And he said, “There was a man who had two sons. And the younger of them said to his father, ‘Father, give me the share of property that is coming to me.’ And he divided his property between them.

Luke 15:13-17 Not many days later, the younger son gathered all he had and took a journey into a far country, and there he squandered his property in reckless living. And when he had spent everything, a severe famine arose in that country, and he began to be in need. So he went and hired himself out to one of the citizens of that country, who sent him into his fields to feed pigs. And he was longing to be fed with the pods that the pigs ate, and no one gave him anything. “But when he came to himself, he said, ‘How many of my father's hired servants have more than enough bread, but I perish here with hunger!

Take RESPONSIBILITY.

Luke 15:18a I will arise and go to my father,

Live OBEDIENTLY.

Luke 15:18-20a I will arise and go to my father, and I will say to him, “Father, I have sinned against heaven and before you. I am no longer worthy to be called your son. Treat me as one of your hired servants.”’ And he arose and came to his father.

Luke 15:20b-24 But while he was still a long way off, his father saw him and felt compassion, and ran and embraced him and kissed him. And the son said to him, ‘Father, I have sinned against heaven and before you. I am no longer worthy to be called your son.’ But the father said to his servants, ‘Bring quickly the best robe, and put it on him, and put a ring on his hand, and shoes on his feet. And bring the fattened calf and kill it, and let us eat and celebrate. For this my son was dead, and is alive again; he was lost, and is found.’ And they began to celebrate.

Luke 15:22 But the father said to his servants, ‘Bring quickly the best robe, and put it on him, and put a ring on his hand, and shoes on his feet. Thank you for joining us online this weekend!

Jonah 4:1-4 But Jonah was greatly displeased and became angry. He prayed to the Lord, “O Lord, is this not what I said when I was still at home? That is why I was so quick to flee to Tarshish. I knew that you are a gracious and compassionate God, slow to anger and abounding in love, a God who relents from sending calamity. Now, O Lord, take away my life, for it is better for me to die than to live.” But the Lord replied, “Have you any right to be angry?”

CHECK the STATE of your heart

OBEY the COMMAND of God (even when you don’t want to)

Jonah 4:5 Jonah went out and sat down at a place east of the city. There he made himself a shelter, sat in its shade and waited to see what would happen to the city

Jonah 4:9-11 But God said to Jonah, “Do you have a right to be angry about the vine?”“ I do”, he said. “I am angry enough to die.” But the Lord said, “You have been concerned about this vine, though you did not tend it or make it grow. It sprang up overnight and died overnight. But Nineveh has more than a hundred and twenty thousand people who cannot tell their right hand from their left, and many cattle as well. Should I not be concerned about that great city?”

REFLECT the HEART of God

Two definitions of REFLECT:

To think quietly and calmly; an unhurried consideration of something recalled to the mind
Give evidence of the character or quality of something

“Now when Jesus was at Bethany in the house of Simon the leper, a woman came up to him with an alabaster flask of very expensive ointment, and she poured it on his head as he reclined at table. And when the disciples saw it, they were indignant, saying, “Why this waste? For this could have been sold for a large sum and given to the poor.”

But Jesus, aware of this, said to them, “Why do you trouble the woman? For she has done a beautiful thing to me. For you always have the poor with you, but you will not always have me. In pouring this ointment on my body, she has done it to prepare me for burial. Truly, I say to you, wherever this gospel is proclaimed in the whole world, what she has done will also be told in memory of her.” ‭‭

Matthew‬ ‭26:6-13‬ ‭ESV‬‬

Conflict Avoidance AND Conflict Seeking can both cause damage.

There is a third option: ENGAGED Intentional as you go along your way. Knowing that God brought each person in your path on purpose. Following the call of the Holy Spirit to speak and engage.

God put me in this place for a reason. If it’s happening near me, it’s happening to me. The only way you get better at engaging is by engaging. That’s how we learn.

The Scriptures are full of average people

PAYING ATTENTION. It’s great to work on your skills, but don’t wait to engage. 50 Days to a Firm Foundation Thank you for joining us online this weekend!

In this week's episode Pastor TJ interviews Shayla in response to her message this weekend at Coastal Community Church.

Shayla's Message, "God's Not Done": https://youtu.be/M8z00iTtL7o

First up, let's talk more about your experience with the idea that, "Your Community Will Enable Your Ability."

When we received terrible news, we had people who were a phone call away.

As a leader it is especially hard to find community because you are leading people.

-How have you been able to create community when you are in ministry and leadership?

Different people for different things!

Evaluate people you have in your life, they don't have to be your EVERYTHING, but they can be your something.

Advice I received:

No matter what you will be AUTHENTICALLY you. However, you don't have to be TRANSPARENT in every situation.

If I'm looking to have more fun, I'm looking to hang out with people who enjoy life.

If there are leadership qualities that inspire me, I'm drawn to people that have those qualities.

How to Stand Back Up:

Community makes such a big difference in the seasons of struggle. People to challenge me to get back up. People to push me to no longer be a victim.

Counseling

Personal Relationship with God.

-Journaling, processing

Share Your Story

-Don't be ashamed or afraid to keep you from telling your testimony.

-Realize that your story helps other people!

"And they have conquered him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony, for they loved not their lives even unto death." Revelation 12:11

Are you sharing for sympathy/attention or to help impact other people - for the benefit of others to find hope and freedom. To bring GOD GLORY and help other people have victory!

Allow God to continue the healing process in you! Continue being restored.

Today we hear power-packed biblical messages from four of our Coastal Staff!

Trenton Rodriguez:

PHILIPPIANS 2:3-83 Do nothing from selfishness or empty conceit, but with humility of mind regard one another as more important than yourselves; 4 do not merely look out for your own personal interests, but also for the interests of others.

Change our mindset

5 Have this attitude in yourselves which was also in Christ Jesus, 6 who, although He existed in the form of God, did not regard equality with God a thing to be grasped, 7 but emptied Himself, taking the form of a bond-servant, and being made in the likeness of men.

Look Out

8 Being found in appearance as a man, He humbled Himself by becoming obedient to the point of death, even death on a cross.

Romans 7:19, “For the good that I will to do, I do not do; but the evil I will not to do, that I practice.” Galatians 5:9“A little leaven leavens the whole batch.”

John 8:44 “He was a murderer from the beginning and does not stand in the truth, because there is no truth in him.”

Galatians 1:10“Am I now trying to win the favor and approval of men, or of God? Or am I seeking to please someone? If I were still trying to be popular with men, I would not be a bond-servant of Christ.”

Matthew 4:4“It is written and forever remains written, “Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that comes out of the mouth of God.” _______________

Brian McMillian

John 8:12

12 When Jesus spoke again to the people, he said, “I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will never walk in darkness but will have the light of life.”

Matthew 5:14 14 “You are the light of the world. A town built on a hill cannot be hidden. 15 Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a bowl. Instead they put it on its stand, and it gives light to everyone in the house. 16 In the same way, let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven.How do we maintain our light?

1.Start your day with Daily Devotion

2.Serve Others as Christ Did

3.Share your Faith “We are told to let our light shine, and if it does, we won’t need to tell anybody it does.

Lighthouses don’t fire cannons to call attention to their Light Shining – they just shine.” ~Dwight L. Moody

This first sermon in our Voices Series asking the question — How do we wait ON purpose WITH purpose?

GOD CAN RAISE UP RIGHTEOUSNESS OUT OF DARKNESS“

The famine grew worse and spread over the whole country, so Joseph opened all the storehouses and sold grain to the Egyptians. People came to Egypt from all over the world to buy grain from Joseph, because the famine was severe everywhere.”‭‭ Genesis‬ ‭41:56-57‬ ‭GNT‬‬

Expect OPPOSITION

“She caught him by his robe and said, “Come to bed with me.” But he escaped and ran outside, leaving his robe in her hand. Joseph's master was furious and had Joseph arrested and put in the prison where the king's prisoners were kept, and there he stayed. But the Lord was with Joseph and blessed him, so that the jailer was pleased with him. He put Joseph in charge of all the other prisoners and made him responsible for everything that was done in the prison. The jailer did not have to look after anything for which Joseph was responsible, because the Lord was with Joseph and made him succeed in everything he did.”‭‭ Genesis‬ ‭39:19-23‬ ‭GNT‬‬

If the enemy can’t DESTROY you, he will DISTRACT you.

“Be alert, be on watch! Your enemy, the Devil, roams around like a roaring lion, looking for someone to devour.”‭‭ 1 Peter‬ ‭5:8‬ ‭GNT

‬‬In fact, everyone who wants to live a godly life in Christ Jesus will be persecuted,” ‭‭2 Timothy‬ ‭3:12‬ ‭NIV‬

and In this world you WILL have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world. John 16:33b NIV

Seize OPPORTUNITY Joseph was thirty years old when he began to serve the king of Egypt. He left the king's court and traveled all over the land. During the seven years of plenty the land produced abundant crops, all of which Joseph collected and stored in the cities. In each city he stored the food from the fields around it. There was so much grain that Joseph stopped measuring it—it was like the sand of the sea. Genesis 41:46b-49 GNT

“Be very careful, then, how you live—not as unwise but as wise, making the most of every opportunity, because the days are evil. Therefore do not be foolish, but understand what the Lord’s will is.”‭‭ Ephesians‬ ‭5:16-17‬ ‭NIV‬‬‘

The opportunity of a lifetime must be seized within the lifetime of that opportunity’ - Leonard Ravenhill

Remain OPEN

“The king and his officials approved this plan, and he said to them, “We will never find a better man than Joseph, a man who has God's spirit in him.””‭‭ Genesis‬ ‭41:37-38‬ ‭GNT ‬‬CHUCK SWINDOLL “Life is 10% what happens to you and 90% how you react to it”.

Remember your WHY

God wants to FILL you so He can FOCUS you.

“But those who wait on the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint.” Isaiah 40:31 NKJV

We worked verse by verse through Psalm 23 during our most recent series, and made our way through verse 3. There has been so much to dive into! There are more verses in this chapter that we didn’t cover over the weekend, so we’ve put together a bonus episode for you this week!

Let’s talk about Psalm 23:4-6 Catch up on the entire Psalm 23 sermon series from our YouTube playlist: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLAYU8tP-3OqjJokNZNGTS9VnYtKqE445K

What has stood out to you throughout this series? Special guest, one of our Dream Teamers — Melissa Gott Verse 4

“Even though I walk through the darkest valley, I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me.” ‭‭

Psalms‬ ‭23:4‬ ‭NIV‬‬

You only go to a mountaintop for a short time. The majority of time in life is spent in the valley.

We were never designed to live on the mountaintop. In the valley we find nourishment. What does the rod and staff represent?

Rod — protection, fends off predators The rod is a weapon used in close combat with an animal. He can also throw it when a dangerous animal was in the near distance to fend off the predators.

Staff — direction and correction, nudge and draw sheep back onto the right path, rescue from danger It brings us to safety!

“We can hate the storm, or we can grow through the storm.” -TJ McCormick

One of the greatest things you can do is plant yourself in the house of God and be surrounded by protection!

The Way of the Shepherd: Seven Secrets to Managing Productive People by Kevin Leman and William Pentak https://www.amazon.com/Way-Shepherd-Ancient-Managing-Productive/dp/0310250978/ref=nodl_

Get comfortable being uncomfortable in the Christian life.

“because the Lord disciplines those he loves, as a father the son he delights in.” ‭‭

Proverbs‬ ‭3:12‬ ‭NIV‬‬

Verse 5

“You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies. You anoint my head with oil; my cup overflows.” ‭‭Psalms‬ ‭23:5‬ ‭NIV‬‬

David wrote this at the end of his life. Samuel came to his town, a feast was thrown for him. 1 Samuel 16

David fights Goliath 1 Samuel 17

ANOINT in Hebrew: fatten, make healthy, make fresh

David’s purpose and confidence is secure in the Lord.

Growth and maturing is taking place. Focus on the feast before you, rather than the enemy.

The blessing and hope before you.

Verse 6

“Surely your goodness and love will follow me all the days of my life, and I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever.” ‭‭

Psalms‬ ‭23:6‬ ‭NIV‬‬ “Surely” is a confident word because their is strength and maturity in the relationship.

Verses 2-6 are promises that God gives you when you have God as the Good Shepherd in your life. God dwelling with us now, and for eternity. Where are you, God? Know and notice God, especially when you are feeling far from Him or in the midst of a trial or struggle.

What can cause a sheep to become cast?Separation from the herd.

This can be prevented through accountability. Are you accountable to anyone?

What is Healthy Accountability? People who can ask you the hard questions. Ask yourself if you really want to change.

• Come with questions. • Be authentic • Follow through

Choose accountability from people that love you and who is willing to look out for you. Someone that you admire in realms that you hope to grow in. Give them permission to speak in your life.

Restoration and accountability are connected.

Everything worth doing takes longer than you expect.

Greatness takes time.

Atomic Habits: An Easy & Proven Way to Build Good Habits & Break Bad Ones

The One Year Bible NIV (Softcover)

Author: DAVID Context: A season that is filled with ANXIETY and UNKNOWN. Purpose: Psalm 23 positions us to have STRENGTH in the midst of STRUGGLE. Message Notes: http://bible.com/events/48718274 Psalm 23:1-6 NIV The Lord is my shepherd, I lack nothing. He makes me lie down in green pastures, he leads me beside quiet waters, he refreshes my soul. He guides me along the right paths for his name’s sake. Even though I walk through the darkest valley, I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me. You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies. You anoint my head with oil; my cup overflows. Surely your goodness and love will follow me all the days of my life, and I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever. Psalm 23:2b He leads me beside quiet waters. God is the THIRST QUENCHER. Proverbs 23:2 There is a way that appears to be right, but in the end it leads to death. Psalm 23:2 He leads me beside quiet waters. WHAT is leading your LIFE? CRAVINGS, CULTURE, CREW, CHRIST Jeremiah 2:13 My people…have forsaken me, the spring of living water, and have dug their own cisterns, broken cisterns that cannot hold water. “O God! Thou hast made us for Thyself, and our souls are restless, searching, ‘til they find their rest in Thee.”—St. Augustine “God is most glorified in us when we are most satisfied in him.”—John Piper Psalm 34:8 Taste and see that the LORD is good. Oh, the joys of those who take refuge in him. Dew: I am satisfied when I DAILY spend time in God’s WORD. Matthew 5:6 He said, “Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they will be filled [satisfied].” Psalm 42:1-2 As the deer pants for streams of water, so my soul pants for you, O God. My soul thirst for God, for the living God. When can I go meet with God? I read God’s word DAILY because my soul needs daily NOURISHMENT. Streams: I am satisfied when I am REGULARLY worshipping in COMMUNITY. Acts 2:42 They devoted themselves to the apostle’s teaching and to the fellowship, to the breaking of bread and to prayer. The local CHURCH is God’s strategy for COMMUNITY. Ephesians 5:25 Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her. Matthew 18:20 For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there I am in the midst of them. Psalm 92:13 Planted in the house of the Lord, they will FLOURISH! Wells: I am satisfied when I find God WORKING through difficult and dark SEASONS. John 16:33 I have told you all this so that you would may have peace in me. Here on earth you will have many trials and sorrow. But take heart, because I have overcome the world. Romans 8:28 And we know that for those who love God all things work together for good, for those who are called according to his purpose. As believers we do not simply GO through hard times, we GROW through hard times.

Rest can be challenging in the fast pace of today's society, but it is an important and essential part of our faith. God demonstrated rest from the beginning.

Reflecting and expanding upon this week's message

Psalms 23 Week #2, "He Makes Me Lie Down in Green Pastures": https://youtu.be/-5iQKfCz1BM

Psalms 23:2 NIV He makes me lie down in green pastures, he leads me beside quiet waters

"Let us therefore come boldly to the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy and find grace to help in time of need." Hebrews 4:16

We don't work FOR rest, we work FROM rest.

On the 6th day, God created man. On the 7th day, the first day God spent with man - He rested.

If you're not producing, who are you?

Your identity has to come from God, because if what-you-do is removed, then who are you?

What are we teaching our kids in the process of our busy-ness? Are you teaching rest?

We are not designed to go-go-go 7 days a week, 365 days a year.

Going all of the time may actually be lessening our productivity. After all, most of us make our worst decisions when we're tired.

What are you doing this week, month, year to build in rest to your calendar?

When we work out of a place of rest, it can be transformational to your life.

The cost of not resting is SO HIGH!

Author: DAVID Context: A season that is filled with ANXIETY and UNKNOWN.

Purpose: Psalm 23 positions us to have STRENGTH in the midst of STRUGGLE.

Psalms 23:1-6 NIV 1 The Lord is my shepherd, I lack nothing. 2 He makes me lie down in green pastures,he leads me beside quiet waters, 3 he refreshes my soul.He guides me along the right pathsfor his name’s sake. 4 Even though I walkthrough the darkest valley,I will fear no evil,for you are with me;your rod and your staff,they comfort me. 5 You prepare a table before mein the presence of my enemies.You anoint my head with oil;my cup overflows. 6 Surely your goodness and love will follow me all the days of my life, and I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever.

Psalms 23:2 NIV 2 He makes me lie down in green pastures, he leads me beside quiet waters,

It starts with REST. We make our worst DECISIONS when we are TIRED.

Man was created on the sixth day and on the seventh day God rested, therefore the first day that man spent with God was a day of REST.

Matthew 11:28 NLT 28 Then Jesus said, “Come to me, all of you who are weary and carry heavy burdens, and I will give you rest.

Christianity is not a big DO

Christianity is a big DONE

Psalms 23:2 NIV 2 He makes me lie down in green pastures, he leads me beside quiet waters,

FEAR REMOVED

Psalms 4:8 NLT 8 In peace I will lie down and sleep, for you alone, O Lord, will keep me safe.

In this podcast, our goal is to bring the weekend message to LIFE and share stories to help you along in your faith journey. This weekend we began our brand new series, Psalm 23!

This weekend's message, "The Lord is My Shepherd", Week 1 of Psalm 23: https://youtu.be/GT41HxUcVqo

Psalm 23:1 The LORD is my shepherd, I lack nothing

So many of us follow one another off a cliff that leads to death and destruction. The people that you surround yourself with in life are extremely important. One decision MATTERS, whether it's a good one or a bad one.

What is the ONE THING we can grow in together?

Our desire to be impressive hinders us. What if our goal is to be the least impressive person in the room, so you have people ahead of you to influence your life. This applies spiritually as well.

The Art of Apprenticeship holds so much value. Submitting yourself to learn!

People will often only try things once, rather than committing. When we commit to do something, we see GROWTH!

Growth happens in struggle.

Struggle develops strength.

Don't just say you want to grow, but not be willing to commit to the struggle of growth.

"I can learn something from anyone!" -Shayla McCormick

We have a GOOD Shepherd leading and directing our lives. Otherwise, we're prone to wander. This can feel like restriction and discipline, when the Lord is guiding and directing us. However, that's where FREEDOM is found.

Seatbelts protect you, they're not restricting you.

Warnings on beer cans to not drink and drive are there to protect you.

Guardrails are on the cliff to protect you, not hinder you.

God puts protections in His word to protect us. If we follow His ways, we're able to be FREE!

The Ten Commandments are healthy boundaries for any good relationship. They're beneficial when we embrace them. Life is found in God's ways.

We often only see the moment in front of us. God sees the ENTIRE picture.

1 Peter 5:5-6

5 Likewise you younger people, submit yourselves to your elders. Yes, all of you be submissive to one another, and be clothed with humility, for

“God resists the proud,

But gives grace to the humble.”

6 Therefore humble yourselves under the mighty hand of God, that He may exalt you in due time

God calls us sheep...really?

Sheep have so many problems! They're so vulnerable and dependent on their shepherd. We've got to trust the Manual our Shepherd has given us, His Word.

Worry is dealing with tomorrow’s PROBLEM with today’s PASTURE.

You've survived 100% of your worst days. He's given us grace for today.

If God has taken care of me in the past and the present, trust Him with tomorrow!

"God has taken care of my yesterday, He's going to continue to take care of my today, and He will be faithful tomorrow!" -TJ McCormick

Go to our Good Shepherd, and surrender. He does what we cannot do.

"We often worry more than we pray." -Shayla McCormick

Psalms 23:1-6 NIV 1 The Lord is my shepherd, I lack nothing. 2 He makes me lie down in green pastures,he leads me beside quiet waters, 3 he refreshes my soul.He guides me along the right pathsfor his name’s sake. 4 Even though I walkthrough the darkest valley,I will fear no evil,for you are with me;your rod and your staff,they comfort me. 5 You prepare a table before mein the presence of my enemies.You anoint my head with oil;my cup overflows. 6 Surely your goodness and love will follow me all the days of my life, and I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever.

I have a GOOD SHEPHERD.

1 Samuel 17:34-35 NLT 34 But David persisted. “I have been taking care of my father’s sheep and goats,” he said. “When a lion or a bear comes to steal a lamb from the flock, 35 I go after it with a club and rescue the lamb from its mouth. If the animal turns on me, I catch it by the jaw and club it to death.

We serve a PERSONAL God who desires a personal RELATIONSHIP with us.

“A sheep is an object of property, not a wild animal; it's owner sets great store by it, and frequently it is bought with a great price.It is well to know, as certainly as David did, that we belong to the Lord. There is a noble tone of confidence about this sentence. There is no ‘if’ nor ‘but,’ nor even ‘I hope so;’ but he says, “The Lord is my shepherd.’" - Charles Spurgeon

As sheep we are prone to WANDER.

Isaiah 53:6 NLT 6 All of us, like sheep, have strayed away. We have left God’s paths to follow our own.Yet the Lord laid on him the sins of us all.

I have a shepherd who RESCUES and REDIRECTS my life.

God’s DISCIPLINE is His way of DIRECTING us.

As sheep we are constantly ATTACKED.

1 Peter 5:8 NLT 8 Stay alert! Watch out for your great enemy, the devil. He prowls around like a roaring lion, looking for someone to devour.

I have a shepherd who PROTECTS me.

John 10:11 NLT 11 “I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd sacrifices his life for the sheep.

As sheep we need continual CARE.

Psalms 23:1 NIV 1 The Lord is my shepherd, I lack nothing.

I have a shepherd who PROVIDES all my needs.Contentment comes not from WHAT we have but WHOM we have.

Worry is dealing with tomorrow’s PROBLEM with today’s PASTURE.

This weekend's Message, "It's Getting Late" Multiply Week #3: https://youtu.be/FF3kcFanbek

We have a finite amount of time. Don't leave things "undone".

"The opportunity of a lifetime must be seized in the lifetime of that opportunity." - Leonard Ravenhill

Your need is your seed. Make that fuel to help others. If you need a friend, be a friend. Don't just sit there. When was the last time you did what you need for someone else? Step outside of yourself.

2 Corinthians 9:10 "For God is the one who provides seed for the farmer and then bread to eat. In the same way, he will provide and increase your resources and then produce a great harvest of generosity in you."

The little boy in Mark 6 could have consumed food for himself, or he could have given and seen a miracle!

Don't consume the seed you're supposed to sow!

"The more you sow, the more you're going to reep."

Our life is about GIVING! Look at what you have. Start there!

More about Julie's food ministry On Dry Land Outreach: https://ondrylandoutreach.org

Use your gifts and talents to be the help you wish you'd had when you needed something.

God uses that obedience to build your confidence and influence. You begin to be empowered to make a difference more often!

The Cause within You: Finding the One Great Thing God Created You to Do in This World

Servolution: Starting a Church Revolution through Serving (Leadership Network Innovation Series)

God always changes what's not nearly enough to more than enough. It's getting late, and Heaven and hell are realities. We need to get to work and live like there's eternity -time is running down here on earth!

Mark 6:30-37 NLT 30 The apostles returned to Jesus from their ministry tour and told him all they had done and taught. 31 Then Jesus said, “Let’s go off by ourselves to a quiet place and rest awhile.” He said this because there were so many people coming and going that Jesus and his apostles didn’t even have time to eat. 32 So they left by boat for a quiet place, where they could be alone. 33 But many people recognized them and saw them leaving, and people from many towns ran ahead along the shore and got there ahead of them. 34 Jesus saw the huge crowd as he stepped from the boat, and he had compassion on them because they were like sheep without a shepherd. So he began teaching them many things. 35 Late in the afternoon his disciples came to him and said, “This is a remote place, and it’s already getting late. 36 Send the crowds away so they can go to the nearby farms and villages and buy something to eat.” 37 But Jesus said, “You feed them.”“With what?” they asked. “We’d have to work for months to earn enough money to buy food for all these people!”

Mark 6:42-43 NLT 42 They all ate as much as they wanted, 43 and afterward, the disciples picked up twelve baskets of leftover bread and fish.

Mark 6:34 NLT 34 Jesus saw the huge crowd as he stepped from the boat, and he had compassion on them because they were like sheep without a shepherd. So he began teaching them many things.

The Blessed Life: Unlocking the Rewards of Generous Living

The Treasure Principle, Revised and Updated: Unlocking the Secret of Joyful Giving

The ORDER is important. It is not just IF you give, it is WHEN you give.
OBEDIENCE is important.

John 6v10 NLT 10 “Tell everyone to sit down,” Jesus said. So they all sat down on the grassy slopes. (The men alone numbered about 5,000.)

Proverbs 11v24 NLT 24 Give freely and become more wealthy; be stingy and lose everything.

ORGANIZATION is important.

Luke 9v14 NLT 14 For there were about 5,000 men there.Jesus replied, “Tell them to sit down in groups of about fifty each.”

OWNERSHIP is important.

John 6v6-9 NLT 6 He was testing Philip, for he already knew what he was going to do. 7 Philip replied, “Even if we worked for months, we wouldn’t have enough money to feed them!” 8 Then Andrew, Simon Peter’s brother, spoke up. 9 “There’s a young boy here with five barley loaves and two fish. But what good is that with this huge crowd?” It isn’t the size of the SAMPLE; it is the size of the SACRIFICE. WISDOM is the correct APPLICATION of knowledge.

Matthew 14v16 NLT 16 But Jesus said, “That isn’t necessary—you feed them.” You can give to something without LOVING it, but you can never LOVE something without giving to it.

Psalms 34v18 NLT 18 The Lord is close to the brokenhearted; he rescues those whose spirits are crushed.

"If you don't learn how to deal with your pain, you will continue to build on a faulty foundation." - Shayla McCormick

Dealing with pain is painful

It will dig up things that are buried.

Just because you deal with pain, doesn't mean that it is gone.

How can you change your pain into purpose?

GET REAL

Tell someone about it that can actually help you

Go to counseling

Get professional help, look for root sources, patterns

Pain can make us blind, so it helps so much to gain perspective from other people - when we can't see.

Matthew 14:13-21 NLT 13 As soon as Jesus heard the news, he left in a boat to a remote area to be alone. But the crowds heard where he was headed and followed on foot from many towns. 14 Jesus saw the huge crowd as he stepped from the boat, and he had compassion on them and healed their sick. 15 That evening the disciples came to him and said, “This is a remote place, and it’s already getting late. Send the crowds away so they can go to the villages and buy food for themselves.” 16 But Jesus said, “That isn’t necessary—you feed them.” 17 “But we have only five loaves of bread and two fish!” they answered. 18 “Bring them here,” he said. 19 Then he told the people to sit down on the grass. Jesus took the five loaves and two fish, looked up toward heaven, and blessed them. Then, breaking the loaves into pieces, he gave the bread to the disciples, who distributed it to the people. 20 They all ate as much as they wanted, and afterward, the disciples picked up twelve baskets of leftovers. 21 About 5,000 men were fed that day, in addition to all the women and children!

Your season of SECLUSION does not mean that you have to SURRENDER your purpose.

Pain can be an EXCUSE or pain can PRODUCE.

Matthew 14:19 NLT 19 Then he told the people to sit down on the grass. Jesus took the five loaves and two fish, looked up toward heaven, and blessed them. Then, breaking the loaves into pieces, he gave the bread to the disciples, who distributed it to the people.

There is a BLESSING in the BREAKING.

Psalms 34:18 NLT The Lord is close to the brokenhearted; he rescues those whose spirits are crushed. Psalms 51:17 NLT The sacrifice you desire is a broken spirit.You will not reject a broken and repentant heart, O God. Psalms 147:3 NLT He heals the brokenhearted and bandages their wounds.

Matthew 5:1-4 NLT 1 One day as he saw the crowds gathering, Jesus went up on the mountainside and sat down. His disciples gathered around him, 2 and he began to teach them. 3 “God blesses those who are poor and realize their need for him, 5:3 Greek poor in spirit.for the Kingdom of Heaven is theirs. 4 God blesses those who mourn, for they will be comforted.

Matthew 14:15-16 NLT 15 That evening the disciples came to him and said, “This is a remote place, and it’s already getting late. Send the crowds away so they can go to the villages and buy food for themselves.” 16 But Jesus said, “That isn’t necessary—you feed them.”

God wants our THINKING broken.

Get out of your comfort zone!

For we are God’s masterpiece. He has created us anew in Christ Jesus, so we can do the good things he planned for us long ago. - Ephesians 2:10 NLT

ADVENTURE: to engage in hazardous and exciting activity, especially the exploration of the unknown territory.

Philippians 3:14 NLT I press on to reach the end of the race and receive the heavenly prize for which God, through Christ Jesus, is calling us.

1 Kings 19:19-21 NLT So Elijah went and found Elisha son of Shaphat plowing a field. There were twelve teams of oxen in the field, and Elisha was plowing with the twelfth team. Elijah went over to him and threw his cloak across his shoulders and then walked away. 20 Elisha left the oxen standing there, ran after Elijah, and said to him, “First let me go and kiss my father and mother good-bye, and then I will go with you!”Elijah replied, “Go on back, but think about what I have done to you.” 21 So Elisha returned to his oxen and slaughtered them. He used the wood from the plow to build a fire to roast their flesh. He passed around the meat to the townspeople, and they all ate. Then he went with Elijah as his assistant.

Psalms 139:23-24 NLT Search me, O God, and know my heart;test me and know my anxious thoughts. 24 Point out anything in me that offends you, and lead me along the path of everlasting life.

Mark 10:17 NLT As Jesus was starting out on his way to Jerusalem, a man came running up to him, knelt down, and asked, “Good Teacher, what must I do to inherit eternal life?”

Mark 10:21 NLT Looking at the man, Jesus felt genuine love for him. “There is still one thing you haven’t done,” he told him. “Go and sell all your possessions and give the money to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven. Then come, follow me.” Message Notes: http://bible.com/events/48694783

Mark 1:10-11 NIV 10 Just as Jesus was coming up out of the water, he saw heaven being torn open and the Spirit descending on him like a dove. 11 And a voice came from heaven: “You are my Son, whom I love; with you I am well pleased.”

Matthew 17:5 NIV 5 While he was still speaking, a bright cloud covered them, and a voice from the cloud said, “This is my Son, whom I love; with him I am well pleased. Listen to him!”

“You are my son”—ACCEPTANCE

“Whom I love”—AFFECTION

“I am well pleased”—AFFIRMATION

Our greatest needs are fulfilled PARTIALLY by people but PERFECTLY in God.

The four words for love in the Greek PHILIA: FRIENDSHIP ERGOS: ROMANTIC STORGE: FAMILY AGAPE: DIVINE, UNCONDITIONAL

1 John 4:7 NLT 7 Dear friends, let us continue to love one another, for love comes from God. Anyone who loves is a child of God and knows God. Romans 5:8 NLT 8 But God showed his great love for us by sending Christ to die for us while we were still sinners.

The love you EXPERIENCE determines the love you EXPRESS.

Love that is experienced in friendships is FICKLE. Love that is experienced in romance is FADING. Love that is experienced in family is FRUSTRATING. Love that is experienced in God is FOUNDATIONAL.

God’s love is AVAILABLE.

Romans 5:5 NLT 5 And this hope will not lead to disappointment. For we know how dearly God loves us, because he has given us the Holy Spirit to fill our hearts with his love.

2 Thessalonians 3:5 NLT 5 May the Lord lead your hearts into a full understanding and expression of the love of God and the patient endurance that comes from Christ. Whatever consumes your HEART consumes your LIFE.

God’s love is COUNTER-CULTURAL.

Romans 5:6-8 NLT 6 When we were utterly helpless, Christ came at just the right time and died for us sinners. 7 Now, most people would not be willing to die for an upright person, though someone might perhaps be willing to die for a person who is especially good. 8 But God showed his great love for us by sending Christ to die for us while we were still sinners.

The world models love as a FEELING.

God models love as an ACTION.

God’s love is the SOLUTION.

John 14:15 NLT 15 “If you love me, obey; still others read you should obey. my commandments.

You don’t have a SIN problem, you have a LOVE problem.

The greatest deterrent for sin is LOVE.

1 John 4:11 NLT 11 Dear friends, since God loved us that much, we surely ought to love each other.

Message Notes: http://bible.com/events/48681801

2 Corinthians 10:12 NLT 12 Oh, don’t worry; we wouldn’t dare say that we are as wonderful as these other men who tell you how important they are! But they are only comparing themselves with each other, using themselves as the standard of measurement. How ignorant!

Comparison kills Contentment

John 20:2-8 NLT 2 She ran and found Simon Peter and the other disciple, the one whom Jesus loved. She said, “They have taken the Lord’s body out of the tomb, and we don’t know where they have put him!” 3 Peter and the other disciple started out for the tomb. 4 They were both running, but the other disciple outran Peter and reached the tomb first. 5 He stooped and looked in and saw the linen wrappings lying there, but he didn’t go in. 6 Then Simon Peter arrived and went inside. He also noticed the linen wrappings lying there, 7 while the cloth that had covered Jesus’ head was folded up and lying apart from the other wrappings. 8 Then the disciple who had reached the tomb first also went in, and he saw and believed—

John 21:20-22 NLT 20 Peter turned around and saw behind them the disciple Jesus loved—the one who had leaned over to Jesus during supper and asked, “Lord, who will betray you?” 21 Peter asked Jesus, “What about him, Lord?” 22 Jesus replied, “If I want him to remain alive until I return, what is that to you? As for you, follow me.”

1 Corinthians 7:17 NLT 17 Each of you should continue to live in whatever situation the Lord has placed you, and remain as you were when God first called you. This is my rule for all the churches. You can’t be who God has called you to be if you are constantly comparing yourself to someone else.

Hebrews 12:1-2 NLT 1 Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a huge crowd of witnesses to the life of faith, let us strip off every weight that slows us down, especially the sin that so easily trips us up. And let us run with endurance the race God has set before us. 2 We do this by keeping our eyes on Jesus, the champion who initiates and perfects our faith. Because of the joy awaiting him, he endured the cross, disregarding its shame. Now he is seated in the place of honor beside God’s throne.

RUN YOUR RACE!

STAY FOCUSED!

Philippians 4:8 NLT 8 And now, dear brothers and sisters, one final thing. Fix your thoughts on what is true, and honorable, and right, and pure, and lovely, and admirable. Think about things that are excellent and worthy of praise.

Episode analytics All time

Mark 1:10 NIV 10 Just as Jesus was coming up out of the water, he saw heaven being torn open and the Spirit descending on him like a dove.

Mark 1:11 NIV 11 And a voice came from heaven: “You are my Son, whom I love; with you I am well pleased.”

Matthew 17:5 NIV 5 While he was still speaking, a bright cloud covered them, and a voice from the cloud said, “This is my Son, whom I love; with him I am well pleased. Listen to him!”

“You are my son”—ACCEPTANCE “Whom I love”—AFFECTION “I am well pleased”—AFFIRMATION

“Everyone has 3 fundamental needs, according to science: to feel safe, to feel like we belong and to feel like we matter.” Inc. Magazine

Our greatest needs are fulfilled PARTIALLY by people but PERFECTLY in God.

“The greatest disease in the West today is not TB or leprosy; it is being unwanted, unloved, and uncared for.”—Mother Theresa

John 15:20 NLT 20 Do you remember what I told you? ‘A slave is not greater than the master.’ Since they persecuted me, naturally they will persecute you. And if they had listened to me, they would listen to you.

We overcome man’s REJECTION by embracing God’s ACCEPTANCE.

My acceptance by God came at a PRICE.

Colossians 1:21-22 NLT 21 This includes you who were once far away from God. You were his enemies, separated from him by your evil thoughts and actions. 22 Yet now he has reconciled you to himself through the death of Christ in his physical body. As a result, he has brought you into his own presence, and you are holy and blameless as you stand before him without a single fault.

The price God paid for our ACCEPTANCE was the SACRIFICE of Jesus.

The price we pay for our acceptance is the SURRENDER of our WILL.

2 Peter 3:9 NLT 9 The Lord isn’t really being slow about his promise, as some people think. No, he is being patient for your sake. He does not want anyone to be destroyed, but wants everyone to repent.

My acceptance by God came with PERKS.

FORGIVENESS

Romans 8:1 NLT 1 So now there is no condemnation for those who belong to Christ Jesus.

Hebrews 10:35 NLT 35 So do not throw away this confident trust in the Lord. Remember the great reward it brings you!

FREEDOM

John 8:36 NLT 36 So if the Son sets you free, you are truly free.

FAMILY

Psalms 68:6 NLT 6 God places the lonely in families; he sets the prisoners free and gives them joy.But he makes the rebellious live in a sun-scorched land.

1 Peter 2:10 NLT 10 “Once you had no identity as a people; now you are God’s people.Once you received no mercy; now you have received God’s mercy.”

My acceptance by God came with a PURPOSE.

Romans 15:7 NLT 7 Therefore, accept each other just as Christ has accepted you so that God will be given glory.

People are not the PROBLEM. People are the PURPOSE.

FRIDAY was a day of PAIN. SATURDAY was a day without HOPE. SUNDAY was a day of FREEDOM.

John 19:30 NLT When Jesus had tasted it, he said, “It is finished!” Then he bowed his head and gave up his spirit.

Luke 24:21 NLT We had hoped he was the Messiah who had come to rescue Israel. This all happened three days ago.

Message Notes: http://bible.com/events/48671511

Mark 16:9-13 NLT 9 After Jesus rose from the dead early on Sunday morning, the first person who saw him was Mary Magdalene, the woman from whom he had cast out seven demons. 10 She went to the disciples, who were grieving and weeping, and told them what had happened. 11 But when she told them that Jesus was alive and she had seen him, they didn’t believe her. 12 Afterward he appeared in a different form to two of his followers who were walking from Jerusalem into the country. 13 They rushed back to tell the others, but no one believed them.

Find purpose in the process.

Romans 12:1-2 MSG 1 So here’s what I want you to do, God helping you: Take your everyday, ordinary life—your sleeping, eating, going-to-work, and walking-around life—and place it before God as an offering. Embracing what God does for you is the best thing you can do for him. Don’t become so well-adjusted to your culture that you fit into it without even thinking. Instead, fix your attention on God. You’ll be changed from the inside out. Readily recognize what he wants from you, and quickly respond to it. Unlike the culture around you, always dragging you down to its level of immaturity, God brings the best out of you, develops well-formed maturity in you. 2 So here’s what I want you to do, God helping you: Take your everyday, ordinary life—your sleeping, eating, going-to-work, and walking-around life—and place it before God as an offering.

Psalms 90:12 NLT Teach us to realize the brevity of life, so that we may grow in wisdom.

Make God a Priority

Matthew 6:33 NLT 33 Seek the Kingdom of God above all else, and live righteously, and he will give you everything you need.

Micah 6:6-8 NLT 6 What can we bring to the Lord?Should we bring him burnt offerings?Should we bow before God Most Highwith offerings of yearling calves? 7 Should we offer him thousands of ramsand ten thousand rivers of olive oil?Should we sacrifice our firstborn childrento pay for our sins? 8 No, O people, the Lord has told you what is good, and this is what he requires of you:to do what is right, to love mercy, and to walk humbly with your God.

Respond

Colossians 2:6-7 MSG 6 My counsel for you is simple and straightforward: Just go ahead with what you’ve been given. You received Christ Jesus, the Master; now live him. You’re deeply rooted in him. You’re well constructed upon him. You know your way around the faith. Now do what you’ve been taught. School’s out; quit studying the subject and start living it! And let your living spill over into thanksgiving. 7 My counsel for you is simple and straightforward: Just go ahead with what you’ve been given. You received Christ Jesus, the Master; now live him.

Look Up Look In Look Out

Upward Vision HOW DO I SEE GOD? When you have a LOW VIEW of God, you will live life on a low-level. When you have a LOFTY VIEW of God, you will live life on a higher-level.

2.Inner Vision HOW DO I SEE MYSELF?

Outward Vision How do I see my surroundings? How do I see the people around me? How am I seeing my future? How do I see the future of my Church?

Isaiah 6:1-8 NKJV 1 In the year that King Uzziah died, I saw the Lord sitting on a throne, high and lifted up, and the train of His robe filled the temple. 2 Above it stood seraphim; each one had six wings: with two he covered his face, with two he covered his feet, and with two he flew. 3 And one cried to another and said:“Holy, holy, holy is the Lord of hosts;The whole earth is full of His glory!” 4 And the posts of the door were shaken by the voice of him who cried out, and the house was filled with smoke. 5 So I said:“Woe is me, for I am undone!Because I am a man of unclean lips, And I dwell in the midst of a people of unclean lips;For my eyes have seen the King,The Lord of hosts.” 6 Then one of the seraphim flew to me, having in his hand a live coal which he had taken with the tongs from the altar. 7 And he touched my mouth with it, and said:“Behold, this has touched your lips;Your iniquity is taken away,And your sin purged.” 8 Also I heard the voice of the Lord, saying:“Whom shall I send,And who will go for Us?” Then I said, “Here am I! Send me.”

Song of Songs 5:2-4 NLT I slept, but my heart was awake, when I heard my lover knocking and calling:“Open to me, my treasure, my darling, my dove, my perfect one.My head is drenched with dew, my hair with the dampness of the night.” But I responded,“I have taken off my robe.Should I get dressed again?I have washed my feet.Should I get them soiled?” My lover tried to unlatch the door, and my heart thrilled within me. Song of

Songs 5:5-6 NLT I jumped up to open the door for my love,and my hands dripped with perfume.My fingers dripped with lovely myrrhas I pulled back the bolt. 6 I opened to my lover,but he was gone!My heart sank.I searched for him but could not find him anywhere.I called to him, but there was no reply.

Acknowledge the role of PRIDE.

Pride distorts REALITY. You can win the ARGUMENT or you can win the other person’s HEART, but you probably won’t do BOTH.

Sometimes, just walk AWAY.

Ephesians 4:26 NLT And “don’t sin by letting anger control you.” Don’t let the sun go down while you are still angry, Psalms 4:4 NLT 4 Don’t sin by letting anger control you.Think about it overnight and remain silent.Interlude

There is a difference between resolving your ANGER and resolving the ISSUE.

Value KINDNESS. Colossians 4:6 NIV 6 Let your conversation be always full of grace, seasoned with salt, so that you may know how to answer everyone. Most often it’s not just WHAT you say but HOW you say it that MATTERS.

Jesus (Emmanuel) = God with Us Message Notes: https://www.bible.com/events/48030753 He is a God who is up close and personal. You will never understand Him fully, rather you should be WITH Him, wrapped in His presence. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ “Instead, clothe yourself with the presence of the Lord Jesus Christ. And don’t let yourself think about ways to indulge your evil desires.” ‭‭Romans‬ ‭13:14‬ ‭NLT‬‬

Over the weekend, we had the great privilege to have guest Kevin Enders, the president and CEO of 4KIDS (http://4kids.us), join us for our weekend services. He was called to the foster care system after he and his wife found salvation back in 2006. In 2007 they fostered their first child and in the following years they fostered several more. Kevin became the president of 4KIDS in 2017. Kevin brought with him the clear vision of how the church can jump on this opportunity to serve. Serving in the foster system is not just a responsibility but an opportunity. He explained what ways the church can advocate for kids in foster care. “It’s alright if you’re not called to be a foster parent, God has other ways for you to serve. Everyone can make a difference in some way.” God has you in His place. If you feel called to serve in the foster care system, there is an Orientation happening on Tuesday, June 25 at 7:00 pm at Coastal Community Church 6800 University Dr., 33067 Parkland, Florida.

Message Notes: https://www.bible.com/events/584029

Love is based on POSITION not PERFORMANCE.

Our love for our spouse is not based on how they are performing, how much they do for us, or if they’re meeting our requirements. Message Notes: https://www.bible.com/events/574647 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ➖Instead, we use the example of Christ and His bride, the Church. He gave His life, even while we were still sinners (Romans 5:8). There is nothing we can do to make Him love us more. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ▪️The Bible actually commands marriages to look like this! Ephesians 5:25 says, “Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her.” ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ✖️God shows us love before we even knew what love was. The Bible says, “we love because God first loved us.” (1 John 4:19) He loves us because we are His people. We only know true love by knowing Him. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ➕This is such amazing grace — because we know our “performance” is such a rollercoaster. We don’t always do what we want to be doing (Romans 7). ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ God loves us through it all. That is the kind of love we seek in marriage. 〰️That NO MATTER WHAT kind of love!

What does God think about you? Who has He created you to be? In this week's message from Pastor TJ McCormick, we dive into biblical views on women and relationships. Message Notes: https://www.bible.com/events/579758

What does the story of Zacchaeus have to teach us about Christmas?

Full Message Notes: https://www.bible.com/events/322192

Are you truly loving as Christ loved? Loving well should be one of the most noticeable aspects of followers of Jesus. His example is speaking love and life into people, not tearing them down, embarrassing them, or spreading hatred.

1 Corinthians 16:13-14 says, "Be on guard. Stand firm in the faith. Be courageous. Be strong. And do everything with love."

How is this possible? What does it take to stand firm in the faith?

We will either SET the culture or REFLECT the culture.

What is it going to be in your life? Are you going to focus on your self and worship yourself, or are you going to exalt and recognized GOD?

What do you do when culture is pressuring you to compromise and change the values that God has for you and your life?

When culture shifts, you have to know WHO YOU ARE!

We just started a brand new series! 'The Church God Sees' is PEOPLE - that changes how we think about church. The "Church" is what is lived out in our lives every day. Today we are going to talk about a value that we should embody - Found People Find People!

Message Notes:

Mark 2:17 And when Jesus heard it, he said to them, "Those who are well have no need of a physician, but those who are sick. I came not to call the righteous, but sinners."

WHEN

John 1:43 The next day Jesus decided to go to Galilee. He found Philip and said to him, "Follow me”

Romans 3:10-12 As it is written: “There is no one righteous, not even one; there is no one who understands, no one who seeks God. All have turned away, they have together become worthless; there is no one who does good, not even one.”

WHO

John 1:44-45 Now Philip was from Bethsaida, the city of Andrew and Peter. Philip found Nathanael and said to him, "We have found him of whom Moses in the Law and also the prophets wrote, Jesus of Nazareth, the son of Joseph."

HOW

John 1:46 Nathanael said to him, "Can anything good come out of Nazareth?" Philip said to him, "Come and see."

John 1:47-48 Jesus saw Nathanael coming toward him and said of him, "Behold, an Israelite indeed, in whom there is no deceit!" Nathanael said to him, "How do you know me?" Jesus answered him, "Before Philip called you, when you were under the fig tree, I saw you."

John 1:49 Nathanael answered him, "Rabbi, you are the Son of God! You are the King of Israel!"

WHAT

John 1:50-51 Jesus answered him, "Because I said to you, 'I saw you under the fig tree,' do you believe? You will see greater things than these." And he said to him, "Truly, truly, I say to you, you will see heaven opened, and the angels of God ascending and descending on the Son of Man." _______________________________________ To get to know us more, be sure to check out our website : http://coastalcommunity.tv

We all need a lesson in patience! What is patience - and how do we get it?

MESSAGE NOTES: James 5:7 NIV Be patient, then, brothers and sisters, until the Lord’s coming.

PATIENCE: to be of a long of spirit; to not lose heart.

Hebrews 6:12 “We do not want you to become lazy, but to imitate those who through faith and patience inherit what has been promised.”

James 5:7-9 See how the farmer waits for the land to yield its valuable crop, patiently waiting for the autumn and spring rains. You too, be patient and stand firm, because the Lord’s coming is near. Don’t grumble against one another, brothers and sisters, or you will be judged. The Judge is standing at the door!

The Farmer’s Lesson: Patience is WAITING.

James 5:7 See how the farmer waits for the land to yield its valuable crop, patiently waiting for the autumn and spring rains.

The farmer is not wondering IF, but waiting for WHEN.

James 5:8 You too, be patient and stand firm, because the Lord’s coming is near.

Patience isn’t INACTIVITY; it’s focusing on the RIGHT ACTIVITY.

James 5:9 Don’t grumble against one another, brothers and sisters, or you will be judged. The Judge is standing at the door! When you don’t focus on the right thing, You blame people for everything.

When you don’t focus on the RIGHT thing, You BLAME people for everything.

Genesis 50:20 NLT You intended to harm me, but God intended it all for good. He brought me to this position so I could save the lives of many people.

James 5:10 Brothers and sisters, as an example of patience in the face of suffering, take the prophets who spoke in the name of the Lord.

The Prophet’s Lesson: Patience feels like SUFFERING.

1 Kings 17:1 Now Elijah the Tishbite, from Tishbe in Gilead, said to Ahab, “As the Lord, the God of Israel, lives, whom I serve, there will be neither dew nor rain in the next few years except at my word.” If you are not ready to suffer FOR God, then you are not ready to be used BY God.

James 5:11a As you know, we count as blessed those who have persevered. You have heard of Job’s perseverance and have seen what the Lord finally brought about.

Job 42:10,12 NLT When Job prayed for his friends, the Lord restored his fortunes. In fact, the Lord gave him twice as much as before! So the Lord blessed Job in the second half of his life even more than in the beginning.

Job’s Lesson: Patience brings about GOD’S BLESSING.

James 5:11b The Lord is full of compassion and mercy. ________________________________________________ To get to know us more, be sure to check out our website : http://coastalcommunity.tv

How do you have a God Centered Life? In what ways are you pleasuring seeking instead of God seeking? We need to learn what motives are selfish, and what is true humility!

MESSAGE NOTES:

James 4:1-5 NLT What is causing the quarrels and fights among you? Don’t they come from the evil desires at war within you? You want what you don’t have, so you scheme and kill to get it. You are jealous of what others have, but you can’t get it, so you fight and wage war to take it away from them. Yet you don’t have what you want because you don’t ask God for it. And even when you ask, you don’t get it because your motives are all wrong—you want only what will give you pleasure. You adulterers! Don’t you realize that friendship with the world makes you an enemy of God? I say it again: If you want to be a friend of the world, you make yourself an enemy of God. Do you think the Scriptures have no meaning? They say that God is passionate that the spirit he has placed within us should be faithful to him.

A pleasure-centered life is marked by SELFISHNESS.

Selfishness forgets GOD.

James 4:2 NLT Yet you don’t have what you want because you don’t ask God for it.

Psalm 37:4 NKJV Delight yourself also in the Lord, And He shall give you the desires of your heart.

James 4:3 NLT And even when you ask, you don’t get it because your motives are all wrong—you want only what will give you pleasure. 2 Timothy 3:4-5 GW They will love pleasure rather than God. They will appear to have a godly life, but they will not let its power change them.

Selfishness is fascinated by the WORLD.

James 4:4 NLT You adulterers! Don’t you realize that friendship with the world makes you an enemy of God? I say it again: If you want to be a friend of the world, you make yourself an enemy of God. Exodus 20:3 NIV “You shall have no other gods before me.

Selfishness fights with PEOPLE.

James 4:1-2 NLT What is causing the quarrels and fights among you? Don’t they come from the evil desires at war within you? You want what you don’t have, so you scheme and kill to get it. You are jealous of what others have, but you can’t get it, so you fight and wage war to take it away from them.

A God-centered life is marked by HUMILITY.

James 4:6 NLT And he gives grace generously. As the Scriptures say, “God opposes the proud but gives grace to the humble.”

Humility releases GRACE.

James 4:7 GW So place yourselves under God’s authority. Resist the devil, and he will run away from you.

Humility resists the DEVIL.

James 4:8-9 NLT Come close to God, and God will come close to you. Wash your hands, you sinners; purify your hearts, for your loyalty is divided between God and the world. Let there be tears for what you have done. Let there be sorrow and deep grief. Let there be sadness instead of laughter, and gloom instead of joy.

Humility runs to JESUS. __________________________________________

How do you rid yourself of chaos? Check out the choices that you are making. Those choices you are making are determining the direction of your life! It's not just experience that makes you wise. Wisdom is a combination of information and experienced APPLIED PROPERLY.

James 3:13 “Who is wise and understanding among you?...”

Chaos happens when we become COMPLACENT -

James 3:13 “Who is wise and understanding among you? Let him show it by his good life, by deeds done in the humility that comes from wisdom.”

Proverbs 24:30-31 “I went past the field of the sluggard, past the vineyard of the man who lacks judgment; thorns had come up everywhere, the ground was covered with weeds, and the stone wall was in ruins.”

Chaos happens when our EMOTIONS get out of CONTROL -

James 3:14 “But if you harbor bitter envy and selfish ambition in your hearts, do not boast about it or deny the truth.”

Proverbs 4:20-23 “My son, pay attention to what I say; listen closely to my words. Do not let them out of your sight, keep them within your heart; for they are life to those who find them and health to a man's whole body. Above all else, guard your heart, for it is the wellspring of life.”

Chaos happens when we LEAVE GOD OUT -

James 3:15-16 “Such ‘wisdom’ does not come down from heaven but is earthly, unspiritual, of the devil. For where you have envy and selfish ambition, there you find disorder and every evil practice.”

Proverbs 14:12 “There is a way that seems right to a man, but in the end it leads to death.”

Proverbs 4:7 “Wisdom is supreme; therefore get wisdom. Though it cost all you have, get understanding.”

James 3:17-18 “But the wisdom that comes from heaven is first of all pure; then peace-loving, considerate, submissive, full of mercy and good fruit, impartial and sincere. Peacemakers who sow in peace raise a harvest of righteousness.”

PRAYER

James 1:5 “If any of you lacks wisdom, he should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to him.”

Proverbs 9:10 “The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom, and knowledge of the Holy One is understanding.”

BIBLE

Deuteronomy 4:4-6 “See, I have taught you decrees and laws as the LORD my God commanded me, so that you may follow them in the land you are entering to take possession of it. Observe them carefully, for this will show your wisdom and understanding to the nations, who will hear about all these decrees and say, ‘Surely this great nation is a wise and understanding people.’ ”

JESUS

Colossians 2:2-3 “My purpose is that they may be encouraged in heart and united in love, so that they may have the full riches of complete understanding, in order that they may know the mystery of God, namely, Christ, in whom are hidden all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge.” _____________________________________________ To get to know us more, be sure to check out our website : http://coastalcommunity.tv
