Passage: Ephesians 6:10-20Sermon Notes1. In the last chapter of the the letter of Ephesians, Paul is telling them that The Christian life has all resources you need to stand, to persist, to endure, to thrive.

Today we will talk about the Sheild of Faith a. Why the Devil is after us and the weapon he uses against us b. How the Sheild of Faith protects usI. We have an enemy of immense power, superior intelligence, who hates us intensely and wants to destroy us. Vs 10-12 a. Satan hates us intensely and wants to destroy us b. He has immense power against us c. He has superior intelligence and will scheme against us d. The weapon he uses is the flaming arrows—the form of trialsII. We must protect ourselves against his schemes by taking up the shield of faith. Vs 16 a. The fires can do two things to us! i. In the hands of the Satan and his dominion, it’s meant to destroy and consume us. 1. If we don’t have the shield of faith. It’ll nullify the belt of truth, the breastplate of righteousness, the sandals—it’ll render those things mute. ii. In the hands of God, fire can only refine us. If we put on the shield of faith. 1. The fire in the hands of God will only purify away the dross and refine the gold that’s there. b. Taking up the shield of faith means... i. When we see the momentary pleasure and ease of the moment is absolutely tinsel compared to the glory of God and what’s to come! We know it! Not just hopeful, dreamy knowledge.

Progressive Christianity Symptoms i. Faith is celebrated, but not The Faith ii. Belief in Jesus can be both orthodox and blasphemous. iii. Love for God is defined whether you are loving people. iv. Hypercritical of Evangelical Christians v. Bible is important for some spiritual truth but is majorly flawed. c.

Sin is no longer what’s wrong with the world, but unrealized ambition. My inner need is a spiritual one. It’s liberating, cause you’re casting off the shackle of the Christianity you’ve been raised in and you’re able to forge your own path, with Jesus and the bible along to approve of you. ii. Inner sense of goodness and personal purpose are your spiritual authority. iii. You’re the hero of the journey, therefore the idea of God judging you is in conflict. 3. Be People of the Word a. High View of Scripture and High Knowledge of the word

Passage: Exodus 20:8-11; 23:12; 34:21; 16:22| Leviticus 2
Sermon Note:
a. Rest is a Gift: that you may remember your identity, and the purpose of why you do what you do.
b. Rest so that you may Delight and know Him more
c. Rest so that He can prepare you to do what He has planned for you
a. Why does God give us this rest?
b. The amazing promise of God if we take the rest in faith
I. (Why does God give us this amazing gift? Why does God allow for us to have this one day in seven in which we do not need to do the chores of life?)
a. For our Refreshment Exodus 23: 12
i. So that when we go back to the daily chores of life, we can hit them with renewed energy and purpose.
ii. We will be invigorated. We will come back with a new zest and a new enthusiasm for the rest of life, because we had a rest day. \
b. This gift is ever so important during the busiest time of the year. Exodus 34:21
i. I give you the rest day especially in those days. (Exodus 34:21)
ii. Even when you have a limited amount of time to do it and your entire economic livelihood depends on it getting done…REST.
II. Two Problems to deal with (Is this really for us? If I follow God on Rest, I won’t get anything done…I can’t study my exams properly, I won’t get my job done, I can’t manage it)
a. Is this promise for us?
i. I thought this is Jewish law? Aren’t Christians free from the law?
ii. Yes! The 10 commandments is permanent. They traverse the centuries and never changes.
It’s always wrong to worship another God, to make idols for yourself.
It’s always going to be wrong to murder someone, to sleep with another person’s spouse.
These commands are permanent, they speak to the very moral reality of our soul.
iii. Christ even said, Man was not made for the Sabbath…It wasn’t like, God made a day and didn’t know what to do with it and said, okay guess I’ll make some people to observe it.
No, the Sabbath was made for man. God has given you a day. To step out from the chores, the burdens, the tasks, and cares of life.
A day to step into joy, a day to delight.
b. The second problem is, great, but I won’t get done what I need to get done.
i. The promise is this “If you will take that one day to Rest, God will see that you will accomplish what you need to do on the other six days.”
c. Where is that in the bible?
i. Exodus 16 the story of the manna
ii. Leviticus 25, the Sabbath year
iii. This is the promise of God’s gift to you.
Passage: Mark 6:30-44Sermon Notes:Intro:1. Review a. Rest is a Gift b. Rest so that you may Delight 2. Rest creates Opportunities for God to work through you a.

They were about to be a part of one of the biggest miracle, they needed to be with Jesus in their Rest. b. A short time with Jesus can give you the power to do wonders 2. With you in Truth vs 34-35 a. Before the Lord can work through you, He has to be with you...in truth i. You have to know the truth and live by the truth. ii. This only happens when you spend time with God and let that truth sink into your soul iii. Rest allows for God’s truth to become a living reality and a driving force 3. With you in Power vs 36-44 a. He has to be with you...so that you would recognize His power i. Jesus does one of the biggest miracle ever, enough that they wanted him to be king after ii. But the result was a lot of them, were amazed with Jesus never WITH Jesus. iii. John 6, all of the crowd left him, only the disciples remained and Peter said, “To whom shall we go, you have the word of eternal life.”

Passage:
Acts 18:1-4, 24-28
Notes:
Intro:
We know that work is not a negative thing, because our God worked. We know that work is not just a means to an end, but rather it’s God’s way of caring, loving and serving the world through our work.
However, sometimes when we think of work being spiritual, we only think of positions like pastors, and teachers and missionaries. We don’t think that our daily, ordinary work life has any big spiritual impact. Today I want to share with you that some of the greatest movement that God did in the early church was by simple ordinary individuals doing simple ordinary things
Today I want to share with you in this passage how ordinary people who lived lives of ordinary faithfulness, were used by God to do extraordinary things.
We will see how they chose to…
a. Live with Missional Intention
b. Work on Ordinary Practices
c. Achieve Extraordinary Outcomes
I. Live with Missional Intention vs 1-4
a. Paul, Aquila, and Priscilla—no matter where they go, they lived with missional intention.
b. Mission is living with intention. There’s a purposeful way which you orient your life.
c. Are you living with a missional intention for God’s Kingdom?
II. Work on Ordinary Practices vs 24-26
a. Community
i. Knowing who they are in Christ, they sought to create community with all people, despite differences.
b. Hospitality
i. Opening up their homes to Paul and Apollos
ii. Aquila and Priscilla reminds us that the smallest unassuming faithful task of hospitality can advance the kingdom movement of God in ways we cannot imagine.
III. Achieving Extraordinary Outcomes vs 27-28
a. Gospel piece for Apollos
i. Ended up arguing eloquently for Jesus being the Messiah in Achaia.
Passage: Ephesians 6:5-9 Sermon Notes: Intro: 1. Rhythm Series a. Based on the background belief that you know who your Savior is. 2. How are you sure of your salvation? Is it... a. Because you have tried your best to be a good Christian? b. Because you believe in God and tried to do His will? c. Because you believe in God with all of your heart? 3. Any of those answers reveals that Jesus is NOT your Savior. a. The only right answer to the question, “how are you sure of your salvation,” is “because I am sure of my Savior.” 4. What does this have to do with work? a. As a sign and seal of your salvation, the result is God is now working in you convicting and changing you in areas of your life, to conform you more into the image of His son. b. One of those areas is how you conduct your life with Work.
I. Elephant in the Room (Slavery) vs 5 a. The bible condemns kidnapping and slave trading (1 Timothy 1:10; Deuteronomy 24) b. Slavery in the scripture is equivalent to Bankruptcy Laws i. Indentured Servants to pay back debt c. Slaves had rights d. Paul’s writing sets the stage for the eradication of chattel slavery i. Human life is made in the image of God II. Work wholeheartedly for the Lord vs 6-8 a. Without Christ, rhythm of work is for our personal identity or a personal means “...not only to win their favor when their eye is on you.” b. With Christ, rhythm of work is for God’s service “...but like slaves of Christ, doing the will of God from your heart” i. You are to work wholeheartedly for the Lord because all kinds of work that are not evil is a way that God is healing, loving and serving others through you. ii. Ask yourself, “Am I approaching my work today with God’s mindset?” c. Work wholeheartedly for the Lord i. The tension you must deal with always in work is, “am I serving the LORD or am I serving myself.”
Passage: Isaiah 65:17-23 Sermon Notes: Sermon in a Sentence: When under pressure, redeemed people look forward to redeemed work. Point 1: Looking forward means placing joy Point 2: Looking forward means freedom Point 3: Looking forward means persisting
Passage: Genesis 1:1-2 & 2:1-4 Sermon Notes: Point 1: Our work is God’s story Point 2: Our work bringing human flourishing for the glory of God
Passage: Romans 8:15 Sermon Notes: 1. Experiential a. By the Spirit, He makes the objective truth of your position more real to you b. The Spirit of God pulls us deeper and deeper into the reality of the status of our position i. Prayer makes the objective truth into experiential reality ii. 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. If none of my earthly pleasures satisfy it, that does not prove that the universe is a fraud. Probably earthly pleasures were never meant to satisfy it, but only to arouse it, to suggest the real thing ~ C.S. Lewis
Prayer Point: Pray to the Father in a Fresh way! Seek His reality and His presence, by meditation on your position and who He says He is to you.
Prayer Point: Maybe it’s time to pray to join a small group. And if you’re already in a small group, maybe it’s time to start praying to build deeper relationships rather than the superficial one.
Passage: Romans 8:15 Sermon Notes: Intro: The way we pray to the Father is indicative of our spiritual relationship to Him. a. The prayer of His children i. Primal ii. Real iii. Positional
Prayer Point: Is your prayer life hypocritical or primal? Evaluate if your prayers are mechanical or is it spiritual?
Prayer Point: Evaluate whether your prayer life is about consuming things you want from God, or is it sanctifying your character in God?
i: 1 Chronicles 29:1-20 Sermon Notes: Intro: Financial generosity is a key component in having a true encounter with God Three Things We will Learn: 1. What David wanted for His People 2. How David gave it to them 3. How we can have it even more
Prayer Point: How far would you go, how much would you risk, how much will you work to ensure that the presence of God is in the midst of those around you? Maybe it’s time to start PRAYING for the passion and desire to have God’s presence in the midst of the people God has placed before you (colleagues, co-workers, friends, business partners, family).
Prayer Point: A lot of us, our giving is out of force, compulsion, obligation. Mostly because we haven’t had the power of money broken in our lives. We need to pray that the power of money is broken in our lives so that we are able in our hearts to watch out for the sins of greed, materialism, and need of possession.
Passage: Genesis 18:16-33 Sermon Notes: Sermon in a Sentence: As friends of God, intercede for your city Point 1: A friend of God knows God’s heart Point 2: A friend of God prays for his enemies Point 3: A Friend of God intercedes for the nations
Ephesians 1:15-23Sermon Notes: Intro: Do you pray for our church? 1. How have you prayed for our church and its people, it’s leaders, it’s work? How have you pray for the people you minister to? How have you prayed for your Salt? I want us to look at when Paul is passionately praying for his church, and notice how He is praying. 2. He prays that they would know the riches of what they already have in Christ Context: 1. Paul never prays about the church’s circumstances 2. He almost always pray that they might know the richest of what they have in Jesus Prayer Point: Maybe it’s time that we pray differently for the people we are leading. Instead of primarily praying for their circumstances to change so life can be more comfortable, maybe our primary prayer should be that our people grasp the reality of the riches that they have in Christ. Who are the riches for? vs 15 1.Those who have faith in the Lord a. Faith in Jesus is what saves you b. Faith will always lead to a life of change. Prayer Point: Maybe some of you leaders, salt, ministry, teams, small group leaders, members of the church—should be praying for the change to happen in the life of those in your community that claim faith in the Lord Jesus. You should pray, Lord I love them, you love them, they proclaim faith in you…Lord let their lives grow in maturity in YOU. 2. Those who have Love for all the Saints a. Saint’s never mean super Christian in the bible b. The way you know you’re a Christian is that you have deep love for ALL the saints Prayer Point: Maybe some of you guys need to pray for your heart, when it comes to the brothers and sister here at our church. We are called to LOVE ALL the Saints! We need to look deep and ask ourselves, if I love Jesus, am I really loving the Saints here, or am I merely tolerating them. What are the riches that are deposited for you? Vs 17-19 1. Hope of His calling 2. Riches of His Glorious Inheritance 3. Incomparable power of God How do you draw upon these riches? Vs 17-18 1. Pray Paul’s prayer for yourself a. That you will have the revelation of this reality everyday! 2. Meditate on these truths a. Meditate on the question, “how will I act different, how will I be different if I know these things to the depths of my soul?” b. Write down 20-30 things 3. Think of Jesus Christ Praying this prayer twice a. Jesus prays (c.f. John 15), “I want You to call them a people for Yourself, to envelop them in your power, to make them your great inheritance and treasure. b. Therefore, reject me, cast me away as worthless, and break me with your power
Passage: 1 Samuel 1:4-11, 17-20Sermon Notes:Intro: 1. Rhythm of prayer is to dive into deeper intimacy with God in prayer and then responding to it towards the various areas of our lives. 2. We will dive into the area of prayer for our family, through Hannah’s prayer a. Understanding Hannah’s Pain b. Seeing the Change in Her Heart Understanding Hannah’s Pain vs 4-8 1. Hannah’s Pain came from her oppressive culture a. Having Children was a matter of life and death b. Therefore, the pressure on a woman to conceive was enormous c. We still live in an oppressive culture i. Maybe it’s not as family oppressive as it once was, but it’s more individualistically oppressive. 2. The only way to escape the cultural idol system of your particular culture is by having God more important to your heart. Prayer Point: 1. Some of us need to be hearing from God at this moment. For a lot of us comes from collective family culture that puts unbelievable amount of pressure on us. Maybe instead of hating and unforgiving we should be empathetic and forgiving—knowing that they are a product of their culture. 2. Some of us needs to start hearing from God on whether our attitudes and actions towards our family is just another response to a new individualistic culture that’s driving and oppressing us now. Seeing the Change in Her heart vs 9-11 1. Hannah Stood Up a. The word carries with it the connotation, “to take action” b. She wasn’t going to be passive anymore—she rejected what her culture was giving her and turned to the one above the culture. Prayer Point 1. Some of us need to start getting into the rhythm of seeing some of these cultural traps in our home. We need to start hearing what God is saying and start standing up and take some actions in response to God! Hannah’s Prayer 1. Begins by remembering God’s sovereignty and majesty. She’s remembering the goodness of God. 2. Her heart changes 3. She offers her child to the service of the Lord a. The focus of this child was not for her identity but rather for God’s mission. b. She made God’s heart the center of her reason for the child. Prayer Point 1. Maybe today God is telling some of you, your prayers for your family has been too me-centered! 2. Maybe your prayer for your family needs to be where God’s mission is the end goal. Conclusion 1. Jesus’ act of salvation was not a mirror of the forefathers (David, Samuel, Samson etc), it was a mirror of the fore-mothers (Sarah, Leah, Rahab, Ruth). 2. The women showed that Jesus was not just coming King but suffering servant! a. If we are willing to step into suffering for the name and mission of Christ, we have in Jesus the promise of Salvation to a lot of people!

Reflect and Discuss
When was the last time you sat down and sought the Lord? To ask the simple question, “How do I know that you will do what you said you will do?” Jeremiah 29:13 said, “You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart.”
Spend this week reading through the gospels again, but this time, before you read ask the question, “How do I know that you will do what you said you will do?” And start reading looking for that answer.

Colossians 2:13-15
Good Friday was filled with sadness and sorrow in that Jesus willingly suffered as he was crucified on the Roman cross. However, what made this special day so good is that his death paid for all of humanity's sins so that we may enjoy an eternal and personal relationship with Him. If we first recognize the bad news of our own sinfulness and condemnation, Jesus' sacrifice pardons us from the fury of God's wrath and pave a way for us to enjoy forgiveness, freedom and peace with God. Come and let's dive deeper into experiencing the ultimate display of unconditional love of our lord Jesus Christ.

Purpose: In our world we face a lot of competing “kingdoms” for our allegiance. How do we know whether we are compromising? How do we navigate a landscape that is so hostile to those who follow after Jesus? How do we persevere and bring flourishing in this world? Book of Revelation gives us the insight to navigate and overcome as we live as aliens in this world.

Passage: Ephesians 2:10-19
What the church looks like when it captures Jesus’ vision for authentic Christian Community.
Summary: Recapturing the heart of what God wanted for His community—the sons and daughters that He redeemed. The attitude and heart of what it looks like to be THE church family.
Purpose: In our Western concept of individualism and self-autonomy we tend to view a community as a placed where we come to draw something out of it for our own personal good. The heart of community that God intended was to surround the people with the joyous Good news of Jesus, and from there, build a community that submits, endures, loves, and grow with one another. We’re going to peak into the heart of God and see what He intended a community that bears His name to look like.

· Taking the resource of God’s money and cultivating and growing in for Gods glory. In order to do this you have to understand how money exercise power/control over you and how to be free of it.
(Application)
· How much?
o O.T. is strict Tithe but N.T. is the Heart
o Giving as a way of Sacrifice
o Giving in community
· Motivation?
o Service to the poor
· So if you are good stewards of your money—you help the world

Spiritual Gifts is a way of SERVING!
o Spiritual Gifts is an ability given by God to build up the body of Christ. NOT TALENT
o Prophetic/Priestly/Kingly-all gifts categorized into these (only together do you fully represent God)
· Spiritual Gifts are Not Fruit—you can have the gift but your fruits your spirit can be horrible.
o Careful not to do gift cop out—just cause I don’t’ have it I shouldn’t do it
o Gift projection-you think you might not be so good cause you don’t have a certain gift that someone else has. Or assume the rest of the church should all be able to do your gift.
· So if you are good stewards of your gifts and exercised within a community—the world sees Jesus fully.

§ Paul was a steward of the mystery of the gospel
§ Paul was a steward of the spiritual gifts.

God already owns everything (so, he is Lord of all)
Thankfulness for what He's done
Sacrifice/Surrender
Being a part of the community of God
Giving tells us where our heart is (it will be where your treasure is). It also protects us against the idol of consumerism and places our dependence on God again.

All in the Family
If God is real, then He is the creator of the institution of family. He and He alone knows the purpose and direction for the family. We will be exploring the fundamental purposes that God have for families, the individual roles within them, how the brokenness of society has tainted and blurred those given purposes, and ultimately how to redeem them through the Gospel. If God is real, then in Him we will find the key to flourishing our family. If we can restore the family, we can restore our city. If we can restore our city we can restore our nation. And if we can restore our nation we can restore our world.

Passage: Matthew 26:6-16, 27:1-5
Why don't we see ourselves transformed, convicted, and living a life that shows we've been born again when the season of Easter comes around? Because we have our own personal agenda. We're not matching up with God's agenda. We're asking "God would you make my agenda a reality" rather than asking "God would you tell me what to do with this in my hands?"

Passage: James 5:13-20
Becoming A Game Changer
Goal of Series is to move TLC into action. The church that James was writing to was losing their identity getting lost in the crowd and succumbing to pressure and compromise. God has called us to be a church that can change the world. So we gotta change and grow into the sons and daughters God called us to be in order for us to make changes.
