Join us as Pastor Lori Adgate wrap's up the series on the wandering children of Israel.
When I have a slave mentality… 1. Decisions are made FOR me instead of BY me.
When I have a slave mentality... 2. I make trade offs I never thought I’d make.
Sin will take you further than you wanted to go, keep longer than you wanted to stay, and cost you more than you wanted to pay.
God could remove them from slavery, but could not remove slavery from their hearts.
When I have a slavery mentality... 3. I take obstacles as proof that I will always struggle.
When I have a slave mentality... 4- I disregard God’s faithfulness.
Nehemiah 9 outlines God’s past faithfulness to the children of Israel.
- He parted the waters at the Red Sea for safe passage and then folded the waters onto the Egyptians who were pursuing them. (9.11)
– At Mount Sinai, He gave them true laws and just ordinances (9:13).
– He gave them daily bread for their hunger (9:15).
– He gave them daily water for their thirst (9:15).
- God’s anger was slow toward their unbelief.
-He was compassionate toward their rebellion. (9.17-18) He was ready to pardon (9:17).
– He was gracious and merciful (9:17).
– He was abundant in kindness (9:17).
– He gave them a pillar of cloud above the tabernacle to lead them on the road. (9:19).
– He gave them a pillar of fire above the tabernacle to show them light (9:19).
– He had manifold mercies (9:19).
– He gave them His Spirit to instruct them (9:20).
– He kept on giving manna and water (9:20).
– Their clothes did not wear out (9:21).
– Their feet did not swell (9:21). 9:21
- For forty years you sustained them in the wilderness; they lacked nothing.
When I have a slave mentality... 5. I’d rather keep the chains on than learn to walk in freedom.

Pastor Allen Speegle
John 16:33 These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world.
Tribulation = pressure
I have told you these things, so that in Me you may have [perfect] peace and confidence. In the world you have tribulation and trials and distress and frustration; but be of good cheer [take courage; be confident, certain, undaunted]! For I have overcome the world. [I have deprived it of power to harm you and have conquered it for you.] AMP
Talk about the challenges of 2020…..
How Can We Flourish in Pressured Times?
- Keep Yourself in the Love of God.
Jude 1:21 Keep yourselves in the love of God, looking for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ unto eternal life.
Eph 5:18-21 And be not drunk with wine, wherein is excess; but be filled with the Spirit; 19 Speaking to yourselves in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord; 20 Giving thanks always for all things unto God and the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ; 21 Submitting yourselves one to another in the fear of God.
- Remember Pressure “IS NOT” From God
James 1:13-17 13 Let no man say when he is tempted, I am tempted of God: for God cannot be tempted with evil, neither tempteth he any man: 14 But every man is tempted, when he is drawn away of his own lust, and enticed. 15 Then when lust hath conceived, it bringeth forth sin: and sin, when it is finished, bringeth forth death. 16 Do not err, my beloved brethren. 17 Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and cometh down from the Father of lights, with whom is no variableness, neither shadow of turning.
tempted = pressured
Isa 54:15 Behold, they shall surely gather together, but not by me: whosoever shall gather together against thee shall fall for thy sake.
Isa 54:17 No weapon that is formed against thee shall prosper; and every tongue that shall rise against thee in judgment thou shalt condemn. This is the heritage of the servants of the LORD, and their righteousness is of me, saith the LORD.
- “ALWAYS” Follow God’s Instructions
2 Cor 4:17-18 17 For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, worketh for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory; 18 While we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen: for the things which are seen are temporal; but the things which are not seen are eternal.
Matt 23:37 O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, thou that killest the prophets, and stonest them which are sent unto thee, how often would I have gathered thy children together, even as a hen gathereth her chickens under her wings, and ye would not!
- Live Looking and Moving Forward
DO NOT live in the past.
Phil 3:13 Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended: but this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before me.
Isa 43:18-19 "Forget about what's happened; don't keep going over old history. Be alert, be present. I'm about to do something brand-new. It's bursting out! Don't you see it? There it is! I'm making a road through the desert, rivers in the badlands. MESSAGE
LOOK to the future.
Jer 29:11 know what I'm doing. I have it all planned out — plans to take care of you, not abandon you, plans to give you the future you hope for. MESSAGE
Matt 24:42 Watch therefore [give strict attention, be cautious and active], for you do not know in what kind of a day [whether a near or remote one] your Lord is coming. AMP
Active = move forward with speed, participate in energetic work
- Don’t Forget How to Laugh.
Prov 17:22 A cheerful heart does good like medicine, but a broken spirit makes one sick.
TLB
Prov 15:15 When a man is gloomy, everything seems to go wrong; when he is cheerful, everything seems right! TLB
Psa 126:1-6 Then was our mouths filled with laughter….
Neh 8:10 For this day is holy to our Lord. And be not grieved and depressed, for the joy of the Lord is your strength and stronghold. AMP
Pastor Rod Windham
Matthew 2.1-12 TPT - Jesus was born in Bethlehem near Jerusalem during the reign of King Herod. After Jesus’ birth a group of spiritual priests (Magi, wise men, astronomers, astrologers) from the East came to Jerusalem 2 and inquired of the people, “Where is the child who is born king of the Jewish people? We observed his star rising in the sky and we’ve come to bow before him in worship.”
3 King Herod was shaken to the core when he heard this, and not only him, but all of Jerusalem was disturbed when they heard this news. 4 So he called a meeting of the Jewish ruling priests and religious scholars, demanding that they tell him where the promised Messiah was prophesied to be born.
5 “He will be born in Bethlehem, in the land of Judah,” they told him. “Because the prophecy states:
6 And you, little Bethlehem, are not insignificant among the clans of Judah, for out of you will emerge the Shepherd-King of my people Israel!”
7 Then Herod secretly summoned the spiritual priests from the East to ascertain the exact time the star first appeared. 8 And he told them, “Now go to Bethlehem and carefully look there for the child, and when you’ve found him, report to me so that I can go and bow down and worship him too.”
9 And so they left, and on their way to Bethlehem, suddenly the same star they had seen in the East reappeared! Amazed, they watched as it went ahead of them and stopped directly over the place where the child was. 10 And when they saw the star, they were so ecstatic that they shouted and celebrated with unrestrained joy. 11 When they came into the house and saw the young child with Mary, his mother, they were overcome. Falling to the ground at his feet they worshiped him. Then they opened their treasure boxes full of gifts and presented him with gold, frank-incense, and myrrh. 12 Afterward they returned to their own country by another route because God had warned them in a dream not to go back to Herod.
v 2 - The Magi said “We have seen His star"
1. Why The Star?
Stars were a big part of their life!
The wise men and their entourage of 100 people were willing to put their entire lives on hold and travel somewhere between 700 & 1000 miles one-way on horseback, to find who they believed to be the King of all kings and that this encounter would be totally worth bringing the treasure of all treasures… Huge chests full of gold, frankincense, and myrrh and this encounter was believed to literally change their lives forever.
Numbers 24.17 MSG - Decree of Balaam son of Beor, decree of the man with 20/20 vision, Decree of the man who hears godly speech, who knows what’s going on with the High God … I see him, but not right now, I perceive him, but not right here; A star rises from Jacob a scepter from Israel, Crushing the heads of Moab….
The Heavens are an evangelist
Psalms 91.1 TPT - God’s splendor is a tale that is told; his testament is written in the stars. Space itself speaks his story every day through the marvels of the heavens. His truth is on tour in the starry vault of the sky, showing his skill in creation’s craftsmanship.
His Star Reveals Your Heart
2. Who Was “His Star" That Led You To Jesus?
3. Whose Star Will You Be?
1 Corinthians 12.7 MSG - Each person is given something to do that shows who God is
Pastor Rod Windham

4. I Love The Christmas Story
How a baby changes everything
Isaiah says - A virgin shall conceive and bring forth a son and you shall call his name wonderful, counselor, mighty God, the prince of peace… there shall be no end to the wholeness He brings
How Christmas was prophesied and God would literally “stop sin in the flesh” in Genesis 3
How every Christmas we learn something new about the birth of Jesus.
Micah 4.8 EXB - And you, ·watchtower of the flocks (Migdal-eder), hill of Jerusalem Daughter of Zion, to you will come the kingdom, dominion will be restored as in the past. Jerusalem Daughter Jerusalem, the ·right to rule will come again to you.”
How the angels announced the greatest news in the history of mankind that would bring Joy to ALL people!
Luke 2.8 TPT - That night, in a field near Bethlehem, there were shepherds watching over their flocks. 9 Suddenly, an angel of the Lord appeared in radiant splendor before them, lighting up the field with the blazing glory of God, and the shepherds were terrified! 10 But the angel reassured them, saying, “Don’t be afraid. For I have come to bring you good news, the most joyous news the world has ever heard! And it is for everyone everywhere! 11 For today in Bethlehem[f] a rescuer was born for you. He is the Lord Yahweh, the Messiah.[g] 12 You will recognize him by this miracle sign: You will find a baby wrapped in strips of cloth and lying in a feeding trough!” 13 Then all at once, a vast number of glorious angels appeared, the very armies of heaven! And they all praised God, singing: 14 “Glory to God in the highest realms of heaven! For there is peace and a good hope given to the sons of men.” 15 When the choir of angels disappeared back to heaven, the shepherds said to one another, “Let’s go! Let’s hurry and find this Word (Rhema) that is born in Bethlehem and see for ourselves what the Lord has revealed to us.” 16 So they ran into the village and found their way to Mary and Joseph. And there was the baby, lying in a feeding trough. 17 Upon seeing this miraculous sign, the shepherds recounted what had just happened. 18 Everyone who heard the shepherds’ story was astonished by what they were told.
5. Tell Somebody
How did the joy start? The story was told!
Pastor Jill Windham
Genesis 37:19-28 (NIV) “Here comes that dreamer!” they said to each other. 20 “Come now, let’s kill him and throw him into one of these cisterns and say that a ferocious animal devoured him. Then we’ll see what comes of his dreams.”
21 When Reuben heard this, he tried to rescue him from their hands. “Let’s not take his life,” he said. 22 “Don’t shed any blood. Throw him into this cistern here in the wilderness, but don’t lay a hand on him.” Reuben said this to rescue him from them and take him back to his father.
23 So when Joseph came to his brothers, they stripped him of his robe—the ornate robe he was wearing— 24 and they took him and threw him into the cistern. The cistern was empty; there was no water in it.
25 As they sat down to eat their meal, they looked up and saw a caravan of Ishmaelites coming from Gilead. Their camels were loaded with spices, balm and myrrh, and they were on their way to take them down to Egypt.
26 Judah said to his brothers, “What will we gain if we kill our brother and cover up his blood? 27 Come, let’s sell him to the Ishmaelites and not lay our hands on him; after all, he is our brother, our own flesh and blood.” His brothers agreed.
28 So when the Midianite merchants came by, his brothers pulled Joseph up out of the cistern and sold him for twenty shekels of silver to the Ishmaelites, who took him to Egypt.
V 20-23 But while Joseph was there in the prison, 21 the Lord was with him; he showed him kindness and granted him favor in the eyes of the prison warden. 22 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. 23 The warden paid no attention to anything under Joseph’s care, because the Lord was with Joseph and gave him success in whatever he did.
1. What if this holding pattern is maturing me?
Just because you have a dream doesn’t mean it’s time to live that dream. Dreams, like everything else that live, require a growing period and a birth.
There’s power in the process of staying connected to the tree until it’s time to be picked.
Luke 5:36-39 He also told them a parable: “No one tears a piece of cloth from a new garment and puts it on an old one; otherwise he will both tear the new and the piece from the new will not match the old. And no one puts new wine into old wineskins; otherwise the new fermenting wine will expand and burst the skins and it will be spilled out and the skins will be ruined. But new wine must be put into fresh wineskins.”
2. What if it’s not safe to land yet?
God doesn’t want you just moved out of where you are.
He also wants your heart to be changed in the meantime.
3. Am I stuck or just impatient?
Matthew 24:36 (NLT) “However, no one knows the day or hour when these things will happen, not even the angels in heaven or the Son himself. Only the Father knows.
Don’t make a permanent decision in a place of temporary pain!
2 Timothy 2:11-12 (NLT) 11 And God chose me to be a preacher, an apostle, and a teacher of this Good News. That is why I am suffering here in prison. But I am not ashamed of it, for I know the one in whom I trust, and I am sure that he is able to guard what I have entrusted to him until the day of his return.
4. What can I do while I’m stuck here?
Genesis 40 14 And please remember me and do me a favor when things go well for you. Mention me to Pharaoh, so he might let me out of this place. 15 For I was kidnapped from my homeland, the land of the Hebrews, and now I’m here in prison, but I did nothing to deserve it.”
V 20- 23 Pharaoh’s birthday came three days later, and he prepared a banquet for all his officials and staff. He summoned his chief cup-bearer and chief baker to join the other officials. 21 He then restored the chief cup-bearer to his former position, so he could again hand Pharaoh his cup. 22 But Pharaoh impaled the chief baker, just as Joseph had predicted when he interpreted his dream. 23 Pharaoh’s chief cup-bearer, however, forgot all about Joseph, never giving him another thought.
Proverbs 18:16 (NLT) Giving a gift can open doors; it gives access to important people!
Your gift can open your prison door!
Romans 11:29 (NLT) For God’s gifts and His call can never be withdrawn.
You may feel forgotten by humans. Joseph was also forgotten by them. But God NEVER forgot Joseph. And He hasn’t forgotten you.
5. What if you’ve been positioned for this time?
We want to be the Biblical faith giant without the Biblical sized sacrifice they had to make to get there.
V 37-44 37 Joseph’s suggestions were well received by Pharaoh and his officials. 38 So Pharaoh asked his officials, “Can we find anyone else like this man so obviously filled with the spirit of God?” 39 Then Pharaoh said to Joseph, “Since God has revealed the meaning of the dreams to you, clearly no one else is as intelligent or wise as you are. 40 You will be in charge of my court, and all my people will take orders from you. Only I, sitting on my throne, will have a rank higher than yours.”
41 Pharaoh said to Joseph, “I hereby put you in charge of the entire land of Egypt.” 42 Then Pharaoh removed his signet ring from his hand and placed it on Joseph’s finger. He dressed him in fine linen clothing and hung a gold chain around his neck. 43 Then he had Joseph ride in the chariot reserved for his second-in-command. And wherever Joseph went, the command was shouted, “Kneel down!” So Pharaoh put Joseph in charge of all Egypt. 44 And Pharaoh said to him, “I am Pharaoh, but no one will lift a hand or foot in the entire land of Egypt without your approval.”
V 53-57 At last the seven years of bumper crops throughout the land of Egypt came to an end. 54 Then the seven years of famine began, just as Joseph had predicted. The famine also struck all the surrounding countries, but throughout Egypt there was plenty of food. 55 Eventually, however, the famine spread throughout the land of Egypt as well. And when the people cried out to Pharaoh for food, he told them, “Go to Joseph, and do whatever he tells you.” 56 So with severe famine everywhere, Joseph opened up the storehouses and distributed grain to the Egyptians, for the famine was severe throughout the land of Egypt. 57 And people from all around came to Egypt to buy grain from Joseph because the famine was severe throughout the world.
45:1-8 Joseph could stand it no longer. There were many people in the room, and he said to his attendants, “Out, all of you!” So he was alone with his brothers when he told them who he was. 2 Then he broke down and wept. He wept so loudly the Egyptians could hear him, and word of it quickly carried to Pharaoh’s palace.
3 “I am Joseph!” he said to his brothers. “Is my father still alive?” But his brothers were speechless! They were stunned to realize that Joseph was standing there in front of them. 4 “Please, come closer,” he said to them. So they came closer. And he said again, “I am Joseph, your brother, whom you sold into slavery in Egypt. 5 But don’t be upset, and don’t be angry with yourselves for selling me to this place. It was God who sent me here ahead of you to preserve your lives. 6 This famine that has ravaged the land for two years will last five more years, and there will be neither plowing nor harvesting. 7 God has sent me ahead of you to keep you and your families alive and to preserve many survivors. 8 So it was God who sent me here, not you! And he is the one who made me an adviser to Pharaoh—the manager of his entire palace and the governor of all Egypt
What if what you’re going through isn’t a setback, but a set UP?
“God has sent me ahead of you to keep you and your families alive and to preserve so many survivors.”
You might be waiting. But God isn’t waiting. He is moving and He is working.
Pastor Seth Adgate
Mark 16:15 NIV he said to them, “go into all the world and preach the gospel to all creation“
Mark 16:15 TPT 15 and he said to them, “as you go into all the world preach openly the wonderful news of the gospel to the entire human race!“
James 2:14–17; 26 my dear brothers and sisters, what good is it if someone claims to have faith but demonstrates no good works to prove it? How could this kind of faith save anyone? For example, if a brother or sister in the faith is poorly clothes and hungry and you leave them saying, “goodbye. I hope you stay warm and have plenty to eat,” but you don’t provide them with a coat or even a cup of soup, what good is your faith? So then faith that doesn’t involve action is phony…… So faith without the expression of good works is dead!
3 Things We Can Do As You Go?
As You Go… Discover Truth
Proverbs 25:20 God conceals the revelation of his word in the hiding place of his glory. But the honor of kings is revealed by how they thoroughly search out the deeper meaning of all that God says.
As You Go… Jesus goes with you!
Matthew 28:18 then Jesus came close to them and said, “all the authority in the universe has been given to me. Now wherever you go make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the father, the son and the Holy Spirit. And teach them to faithfully follow all that I have commanded you. And never forget that I am with you every day, even to the completion of this age.
Jeremiah 20:9 but if I say, “I will not mention his word or speak anymore in his name,“ his word is in my heart like a fire, a fire shut up in my bones. I am weary of holding it in; indeed, I cannot.
If he’s not the Lord of all, soon he won’t be Lord at all.
Philippians 1:27 NLT “above all, you must live as citizens of heaven, conducting yourselves in a manner worthy of the good news about Christ.
As You Go… Know your time is limited.
James 4:14 “Yet you do not even know what tomorrow will bring. What is your life? For you are a mist that appears for a little while and then vanishes.”
Psalm 39:4-5 Lord, let me know my end, and what is the measure of my days; let me know how fleeting my life is. You’ve made my days a few handbreadths, and my lifetime is as nothing in your sight.
Psalm 90:12 so teach us to count our days that we may gain a wise heart.
Ephesians 5:15-17 be careful then how you live, not as an unwise people but as wise, making the most of the time, because the days are evil. So do not be foolish, but understand what the will of the Lord is.
Psalm 103: 15-18 as for mortals, their days are like grass; they flourish like a flower of the field; for the wind passes over it, and it is gone, and its place knows it no more. But the steadfast love of the Lord is from everlasting to everlasting on those who fear him, and his righteousness to children’s children, to those who keep his covenant and remember to do his commandments.

Matthew 4.19 msg… “Come with me. I’ll make a new kind of fisherman out of you. I’ll show you how to catch men and women instead of perch and bass.” They didn’t ask questions, but simply dropped their nets and followed.
All of us may not be called to stand on a platform or in front of people but all of us are called to preach in some way, to speak hope to the hopeless …to affect people for eternity …. In the same way that we have been changed.
Why do Christian people have to be reminded … stirred.. trained… poked … prodded…. and even threatened … to go and tell others about the good news?
2. Is the good news really good enough? Is the goodness God really good enough?
- God was good most of the time
- God allowed bad stuff to happen to you (& your loved ones)
- God’s love was conditional .
- Eternity in heaven wasn’t a sure thing.
- I wasn’t sure if God could fully be trusted
- Being fully loved, fully at peace with God and fully safe forever was always just out of reach.
Luke 4.18-19 TPT - “The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, and he has anointed me to be hope for the poor, freedom for the brokenhearted, and new eyes for the blind, and to preach to prisoners, ‘You are set free!’ I have come to share the message of Jubilee, for the time of God’s great acceptance has begun.”
Amplified v19 - To proclaim the accepted and acceptable year of the Lord the day when salvation and the free favors of God profusely abound.
2 Corinthians 5.17-21 TPT - Anyone who belongs to Christ has become a new person. The old life is gone; a new life has begun! 18 And all of this is a gift from God, who brought us back to himself through Christ. And God has given us this task of reconciling people to him. 19 For God was in Christ, reconciling the world to himself, no longer counting people’s sins against them. And he gave us this wonderful message of reconciliation. 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!” 21 For God made Christ, who never sinned, to be the offering for our sin, so that we could be made right with God through Christ.
3. The Gospel Must Be Embraced
Romans 1.16 TPT - I refuse to be ashamed of sharing the wonderful message of God’s liberating power unleashed in us through Christ! For I am thrilled to preach that everyone who believes is saved—the Jew first, and then people everywhere! 17 This gospel unveils a continual revelation of God’s righteousness—a perfect righteousness given to us when we believe. And it moves us from receiving life through faith, to the power of living by faith.
- Embracing the Gospel means my future is sealed forever with God
- Embracing the Gospel sets a drug addicts free
- Embracing the Gospel will set a teenager free from the prison of Instagram or living your life by other peoples expectations or playing the comparison game.
- Embracing the Gospel sets free the person bound by pornography, lust, adultery and fornication.
How? Because when you believe Jesus paid the price for and conquered whatever is trying to destroy you… freedom starts!
- Embracing the Gospel will set you free from anxiety, fear, depression and heal you from any and every disease known or unknown to man.
- Embracing the Gospel makes you wanna go and tell somebody.
When Martin Luther discovered “faith righteousness” according Galatians 3.11… The just shall live by faith… it was as if he went down into the cellar of the Holy Spirit and drank grace 200 proof.
Martin Luther taught three main things
-
People could only be saved by faith in God’s free gift of forgiveness through Jesus Christ and not good works.
-
Christian teachings should be based on the Bible and not church traditions.
-
All people with faith in Jesus were equal so people do not need priests to interpret the Bible for them or forgive their sins.
Jesus said… It is His Word that is Spirit and it is life and His Word will rescue people, His Word will heal people, His Word will set people free, His Word sanctifies people, and His Word directs your life!
Mark 4.14 TPT - Let me explain: The farmer sows the Word as seed, 15 and what falls on the beaten path represents those who hear the Word, but immediately satan appears and snatches it from their hearts. 16 The seed sown on gravel represents those who hear the Word and receive it joyfully, 17 but because their hearts fail to sink a deep root into the Word, they don’t endure for long. For when trouble or persecution comes on account of the Word, they immediately wilt and fall away. 18 And the seed sown among thorns represents those who hear the Word, 19 but they allow the cares of this life and the seduction of wealth and the desires for other things to crowd out and choke the Word so that it produces nothing. 20 “But the seed sown on good soil represents those who open their hearts to receive the Word and their lives bear good fruit—some yield a harvest of thirty, sixty, even one hundred times more than was sown!”
4. Take The Next Step
Matthew 4.17 TPT - Jesus said. “Keep turning away from your sins and come back to God, for heaven’s kingdom realm (righteousness, peace and joy in the Holy Spirit) is now accessible.”
- Repent and say “God here I am!”
- Pray for BOLDNESS to share what God has done for you.
- Ask God to lead you
- Look for opportunities.
"We Are The World" Pastor Lori Adgate
Psalms 115:16 The heavens belong to our God; they are his alone, but he has given us the earth and put us in charge.
Matthew 11:28-30 28 Then Jesus said, “Come to me, all of you who are weary and carry heavy burdens, and I will give you rest. 29 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. 30 For my yoke is easy to bear, and the burden I give you is light.”
Mark 16:14-20
14-16 Still later, as the Eleven were eating supper, he appeared and took them to task most severely for their stubborn unbelief, refusing to believe those who had seen him raised up. Then he said, “Go into the world. Go everywhere and announce the Message of God’s good news to one and all. Whoever believes and is baptized is saved; whoever refuses to believe is damned.
17-18 “These are some of the signs that will accompany believers: They will throw out demons in my name, they will speak in new tongues, they will take snakes in their hands, they will drink poison and not be hurt, they will lay hands on the sick and make them well.”
19-20 Then the Master Jesus, after briefing them, was taken up to heaven, and he sat down beside God in the place of honor. And the disciples went everywhere preaching, the Master working right with them, validating the Message with indisputable evidence.]
“And the disciples went everywhere preaching, the Master working right with them, validating the Message with indisputable evidence.”
Jesus’s final words on earth gave us his authority to carry this gospel into the world.
The great commission is not the great suggestion.
Psalms 115:16 but he has given us the earth and put us in charge.
Prime it with thankfulness and praise.
Prime it with sharing your story.
Prime it with generosity.
Pastor Jill Windham
EXALT
Psalm 99:1-5 (CSB)
Exalt- to raise, to make high; to place in the place of highest heights.
God is exalted in Heaven. He sits on the Throne. But His mandate for us is to exalt (raise Him up) Him on earth.
Isaiah 66:1 (CSB)
“This is what the Lord says: Heaven is my throne, and earth is my footstool.”
We are told to worship at His footstool because it’s where we live and where He wants to be glorified!
Matthew 6:10
God is saying “Worship IS the atmosphere of Heaven. It’s YOUR job to make it the atmosphere of earth.”
Romans 12:1-2 (MSG)
John 4:21-23 (NLT)
-
Exalt Him in honor.
Matthew 6:30-33 (NKJV)
Proverbs 16:3 (TPT)
Colossians 1:15-17 (MSG) -
Exalt Him in your perspective.
God doesn’t need our worship.
Acts 17:24-25 (NLT)
Isaiah 46:5 (MSG)
In a world that overinflates the importance of self, put yourself in as many situations as possible that show your smallness in comparison to God’s greatness.
Job 34:14-15 (NLT)
John 15:5 (NLT)
Isaiah 40:12-31 (NLT)
No, for all the nations of the world are but a drop in the bucket.They are nothing more than dust on the scales. He picks up the whole earth as though it were a grain of sand. All the wood in Lebanon’s forests and all Lebanon’s animals would not be enough to make a burnt offering worthy of our God. The nations of the world are worth nothing to him.In his eyes they count for less than nothing— mere emptiness and froth.
To whom can you compare God? What image can you find to resemble him? Can he be compared to an idol formed in a mold, overlaid with gold, and decorated with silver chains? Or if people are too poor for that, they might at least choose wood that won’t decay and a skilled craftsman to carve an image that won’t fall down!
Haven’t you heard? Don’t you understand? Are you deaf to the words of God— the words he gave before the world began? Are you so ignorant? God sits above the circle of the earth. The people below seem like grasshoppers to him! He spreads out the heavens like a curtain and makes his tent from them. He judges the great people of the world and brings them all to nothing. They hardly get started, barely taking root, when he blows on them and they wither. The wind carries them off like chaff.
“To whom will you compare me? Who is my equal?” asks the Holy One. Look up into the heavens. Who created all the stars? He brings them out like an army, one after another, calling each by its name. Because of his great power and incomparable strength, not a single one is missing. O Jacob, how can you say the Lord does not see your troubles? O Israel, how can you say God ignores your rights? Have you never heard? Have you never understood? The Lord is the everlasting God, the Creator of all the earth. He never grows weak or weary. No one can measure the depths of his understanding. He gives power to the weak and strength to the powerless. Even youths will become weak and tired, and young men will fall in exhaustion. But those who trust in the Lord will find new strength.They will soar high on wings like eagles. They will run and not grow weary. They will walk and not faint.
-
Exalt Him in your attitude.
Psalm 19:14 (NLT)
The words of my mouth AND the meditation (thoughts) of my heart.
Proverbs 23:7 (NKJV) For as he thinks in his heart, so is he.
God can’t do anything in your world that you don’t let Him first start in your heart. -
Exalt Him in your love.
Colossians 3:17 (NLT)
Colossians 3:23 (CSB)
John 21:15-17 (NLT)
“Yes, Lord,” Peter said, “you know I love you.”
“Then take care of my sheep,” Jesus said.
17 A third time he asked him, “Simon son of John, do you love me?”
Peter was hurt that Jesus asked the question a third time. He said, “Lord, you know everything. You know that I love you.”
Jesus said, “Then feed my sheep.”
Three times, Peter denied Jesus.
Then, three times, Jesus called Peter back to his purpose.
Love is ALWAYS your purpose.
What even IS love?
1 Cor 13 (TPT)
Love is large and incredibly patient.
Love is gentle and consistently kind to all.
It refuses to be jealous when blessing comes to someone else.
Love does not brag about one’s achievements nor inflate its own importance.
Love does not traffic in shame and disrespect, nor selfishly seek its own honor.
Love is not easily irritated or quick to take offense.
Love joyfully celebrates honesty and finds no delight in what is wrong.
Love is a safe place of shelter, for it never stops believing the best for others.
Love never takes failure as defeat, for it never gives up.
Love never stops loving.
John 12:32 (NLT) And when I am lifted up from the earth, I will draw everyone to myself.
- Exalt Him above your circumstances.
Faith doesn’t deny the problem its existence.
Faith denies it a place of prominence.
Faith doesn’t say the problem doesn’t exist.
Faith says, “Look at Jesus.”
Faith doesn’t mean we stick our heads in the sand.
Faith says our God walks on water.
You may have a true thing in front of you, but you have THE Truth IN you!
Genesis 50:20 (NLT)
1 Samuel 23:14 (NLT)
Psalm 73:26 (AMP)
BUT GOD is the rock and strength of my heart and my portion forever.
Isaiah 40:8 (NLT)
Jonah 2:6 (NLT)
I was imprisoned in the earth, whose gates lock shut forever.
BUT YOU, O MY LORD AND MY GOD, snatched me from the jaws of death!
Matthew 19:26 (NLT)
Romans 5:7-8 (NLT)
2 Timothy 2:9 (NLT)
Ephesians 2:3-4 (NLT)
Join us as we continue in the series "In Alabama as it is in Heaven", a series on worship!
Pastor Jill Windham
Worship is one of the few tangible tools we have that stirs up our emotions into the process of transformation.
Matthew 6:9-10(NIV) This, then, is how you should pray: “‘Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name, your kingdom come, your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven.
Matthew 18:18 (TPT) Receive this truth: Whatever you forbid on earth will be considered to be forbidden in heaven, and whatever you release on earth will be considered to be released in heaven.
Your kingdom come, Your will be done on earth as it is in Heaven.
Myths about worship:
Worship is the appetizer and the preaching is the main course.
Worship is something that women do.
Worship is optional.
Worship is just emotional.
A Sacrifice of Praise
Sacrifice- giving up something I value for something I value more.
Sacrifice- (Greek word “thusia”) a verb meaning to kill or slaughter for a purpose.
1. Praise and worship are external shows of an inward work.
Romans 12:1 (NLT) And so, dear brothers and sisters, I plead with you to give your bodies to God because of all he has done for you. Let them be a living and holy sacrifice—the kind he will find acceptable. This is truly the way to worship him.
KJV- “present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service.”
Proverbs 27:5 (CSB) Better an open reprimand than concealed love.
1 John 3:18 (NIV) Dear children, let us not love with words or speech but with actions and in truth. This is how we know that we belong to the truth and how we set our hearts at rest in his presence: If our hearts condemn us, we know that God is greater than our hearts, and he knows everything.
We don’t praise God because of who we are.
We praise Him because of who HE is.
Romans 8:38-39 (MSG) Do you think anyone is going to be able to drive a wedge between us and Christ’s love for us? There is no way! Not trouble, not hard times, not hatred, not hunger, not homelessness, not bullying threats, not backstabbing, not even the worst sins listed in Scripture: None of this fazes us because Jesus loves us. I’m absolutely convinced that nothing—nothing living or dead, angelic or demonic, today or tomorrow, high or low, thinkable or unthinkable—absolutely nothing can get between us and God’s love because of the way that Jesus our Master has embraced us.
You think you can declare yourself unworthy to praise God because of what you’ve done? That’s not humility. That’s arrogance. You, my friend, are not that powerful.
It’s time to sacrifice/slaughter those religious ideas and paradigms that have had you convinced the effects of your choices are greater than God’s love for you.
2. A sacrifice of praise is a conquering of self.
Luke 9:23 (NLT) Then he said to the crowd, “If any of you wants to be my follower, you must give up your own way, take up your cross daily, and follow me.
Romans 6:6-7 (MSG) Could it be any clearer? Our old way of life was nailed to the cross with Christ, a decisive end to that sin-miserable life—no longer at sin’s every beck and call! What we believe is this: If we get included in Christ’s sin-conquering death, we also get included in his life-saving resurrection.
Galatians 2:20 (NLT) My old self has been crucified with Christ. It is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me. So I live in this earthly body by trusting in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me.
Galatians 5:24 (NLT) Those who belong to Christ Jesus have nailed the passions and desires of their sinful nature to his cross and crucified them there.
1 Corinthians 9:27 (NIRV) No, I train my body and bring it under control.
Your body is the house you live in.
1 Corinthians 6:19 Don’t you realize that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit, who lives in you and was given to you by God?
SOUL =mind, will, and emotions.
Left on its own, your soul never tells you about God. It tells you about you.
Your spirit is the part of you that was made new when you accepted Jesus as your Savior.
Your Spirit is WHO you really are.
Your Spirit KNOWS who you really are.
Real change is: my Spirit convinces my soul and my soul persuades my body.
3. A sacrifice of praise costs me something.
Comfort- the state of being relaxed and feeling no pain; to pacify or calm; without strain or pressure; without a sense of risk
ENEMIES OF SACRIFICE:
Habits
Fear-
F= false
E= evidence
A= appearing
R= real
2 Samuel 6:14-16 (CSB) David was dancing with all his might before the Lord wearing a linen ephod. 15 He and the whole house of Israel were bringing up the ark of the Lord with shouts and the sound of the ram’s horn. 16 As the ark of the Lord was entering the city of David, Saul’s daughter Michal looked down from the window and saw King David leaping and dancing before the Lord, and she despised him in her heart.
1 Chronicles 21:24 (MSG) I’m not going to offer God sacrifices that are no sacrifice.
“I won’t give anything that costs me nothing.”
4. A sacrifice of praise turns pain into worship.
God has always given you the resources to be the victor instead of the victim.
And one of the greatest weapons we have to change hopelessness into hopefulness is PRAISE!
Psalm 30:11-12 (TPT) Then he broke through and transformed all my wailing into a whirling dance of ecstatic praise! He has torn the veil and lifted from me the sad heaviness of mourning. He wrapped me in the glory garments of gladness. How could I be silent when it’s time to praise you? Now my heart sings out loud, bursting with joy— a bliss inside that keeps me singing, “I can never thank you enough!”
When we need a vision for our life… God will place us around people who are going where we need to go!

Have you ever felt like there just no reason to keep trying? Like no one sees you. They wouldn't notice if you just stopped. Stopped everything. Have you ever felt like no matter what you do you'll never be good enough? Like you could travel millions of miles to bring back the purest gold to someone and they would say well it could be brighter. Have you ever felt like people are constantly talking about you and downing you behind your back? Have you ever laid naked in the shower crying and every fiber in your body shaking from the anxiety that you've had to hold in all day just to keep an image up for others? Have you ever felt invisible? Just like a pillar taking up space?

Is God in control? Is He sovereign? Where do we fit into this earth as stewards underneath His omnipotence? Pastor Rod is digging into these things and more in this mini series about the sovereignty of God.
If you grew up in church, you remember when it would be, “testimony night.“ Nothing made people shout and praise like a testimony of God‘s faithfulness. The word testimony means “do it again.” The Book of Revelation even tells us that testimony is a key component in overcoming hard times. Let’s rediscover the power of testimony.

Lots of talk of essential items and non-essential items. Essential employees, and non-essential employees. But what about in life? If we are going to thrive... if we are going to make it... if we are going to build a life that is unshakeable in this world, there are some essentials found in God’s Word for us to grab and put into practice.
