Luke 1: 26-38 "In the sixth month of Elizabeth’s pregnancy, God sent the angel Gabriel to Nazareth, a town in Galilea, to a virgin pledged to be married to a man named Joseph, a descendant of David. The virgin’s name was Mary. The angel went to her and said, “Greetings, you who are highly favored! The Lord is with you.”Mary was greatly troubled at his words and wondered what kind of greeting this might be. But the angel said to her, “Do not be afraid, Mary; you have found favor with God. You will conceive and give birth to a son, and you are to call him Jesus. He will be great and will be called the Son of the Most High. The Lord God will give him the throne of his father David, and he will reign over Jacob’s descendants forever; his kingdom will never end. “How will this be,” Mary asked the angel, “since I am a virgin?”The angel answered, “The Holy Spirit will come on you, and the power of the Most High will overshadow you. So the holy one to be born will be called[a] the Son of God. Even Elizabeth your relative is going to have a child in her old age, and she who was said to be unable to conceive is in her sixth month. For no word from God will ever fail.” “I am the Lord’s servant,” Mary answered. “May your word to me be fulfilled.” Then the angel left her."
2 Kings 4:1-7 A certain woman of the wives of the sons of the prophets cried out to Elisha, saying, “Your servant my husband is dead, and you know that your servant feared the Lord. And the creditor is coming to take my two sons to be his slaves.”
2 So Elisha said to her, “What shall I do for you? Tell me, what do you have in the house?” And she said, “Your maidservant has nothing in the house but a jar of oil.”
“Once when he was eating with them, he commanded them, “Do not leave Jerusalem until the Father sends you the gift he promised, as I told you before. John baptized with water, but in just a few days you will be baptized with the Holy Spirit.” 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.””
Acts of the Apostles 1:4-5, 8
2 Kings 6:15-17
"When the servant of the man of God got up and went out early the next morning, an army with horses and chariots had surrounded the city. “Oh no, my lord! What shall we do?” the servant asked. “Don’t be afraid,” the prophet answered. “Those who are with us are more than those who are with them.” And Elisha prayed, “Open his eyes, Lord, so that he may see.” Then the Lord opened the servant’s eyes, and he looked and saw the hills full of horses and chariots of fire all around Elisha.
You are called to make a difference!
Even Stranger Things- Ordinary Heroes
*John 14:12 “You will do even greater (and stranger) things than these!"
John 15: 12 “This is my commandment, that you love one another as I have loved you. 13 Greater love has no one than this, that someone lay down his life for his friends. 14 You are my friends if you do what I command you. 15 No longer do I call you servants,[a] for the servant does not know what his master is doing; but I have called you friends, for all that I have heard from my Father I have made known to you. 16 You did not choose me, but I chose you and appointed you that you should go and bear fruit and that your fruit should abide, so that whatever you ask the Father in my name, he may give it to you. 17 These things I command you, so that you will love one another."
A table is a symbol of where we eat. It is literally where we eat physical food, but spiritually, it refers to our mental and spiritual nourishment. Who is sitting at your table?
Every plant needs nourishment in order to grow. Whether you are planting grass, fruit and veggies, or growing an oak tree, they all require the same things to grow. Matthew 4:4 But He answered and said, "It is written, "Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds from the mouth of God.""
Jesus, the True Vine
5 “Yes, I am the vine; you are the branches. Those who remain in me, and I in them, will produce much fruit. For apart from me you can do nothing. 6 Anyone who does not remain in me is thrown away like a useless branch and withers. Such branches are gathered into a pile to be burned. 7 But if you remain in me and my words remain in you, you may ask for anything you want, and it will be granted! 8 When you produce much fruit, you are my true disciples. This brings great glory to my Father. (John 15:5-8)
No more Fake Love. "Sometimes the things we love are fake. And keeping us bound. Jesus is the real thing. Judges 16.
“Or do you think that the Scripture says in vain, “The Spirit who dwells in us yearns jealously”?”
James 4:5 NKJV
Pastor Ryan Walks us through the fact that Holy Spirit is a person and "He has feelings; it’s possible that He can be hurt. He has a will; it’s possible that He can be resisted. He has a voice; He can be ignored. He desires fellowship; He can be rejected. He is a Person; He can be disrespected."– David Diga Hernandez
"What has your attention right now might be keeping you from accessing what’s next." "Pay attention to what you are paying attention to". Luke 8:4-15 (Parable of Sower-seed can be your attention). If God’s INTENTION doesn’t align with your ATTENTION you will never access what he truly has for you. Whatever you put in front of God or give more attention can become an idol. Listen to this song at the end of the message: Clear the stage by Jimmy Needham
Isaiah 7:14
All right then, the Lord himself will give you the sign. Look! The virgin will conceive a child! She will give birth to a son and will call him Immanuel (which means ‘God is with us’).
Romans 14:17 "For the kingom of God is not eating and drinking, but righteousness and peace and joy in the Holy Spirit."
"The greatest thing you can learn about God is how much He loves you."-Landon School (Psalm 27:4 "One thing I have asked of the Lord, that I will seek after: that I may dwell in the hose of the Lord all the days of my life...")
"Bible Study without bible experience is pointless." -Bill Johnson 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."
"Now this is eternal life, that they know you, the only trueGod, and Jesus Christ whom you have sent." John 17:3
