An underlying and often unnoticed symptom of pride is not to seek after the LORD. It is a symptom can go months, years and even a lifetime without being resolved. A person can be saved, serving Jesus, faithfully gathering with other believers at church and yet not personally, daily seeking after the Lord. While it may not be obvious to oneself or others, it is obvious to God. Today we will see how this symptom of pride impacted the life of King Rehoboam and how we can and should choose differently.

The night before His death on the cross, Jesus broke bread and handed it to His disciples in the upper room. He was establishing a memorial that His that would help His church to always remember who He was and the price He paid for our redemption. He had already declared Himself to be the bread of life. At the cross, He would be broken for us so that we might have eternal life and an unending supply of spiritual nourishment. Tonight we revisit a scene between Christ and a crowd who really enjoyed the miraculous meals of bread and fish He provided. He would urge them to change their thinking and labor for spiritual food that leads to everlasting life.

We live in a culture and society that celebrates what God condemns. Perhaps this is not more vividly illustrated than the month of June in our country that is designated as Pride Month. Like Lot, our souls are vexed as we see the displays in Walmart, the headings in your Google calendar, the commercials on TV, the rainbow painted streets, the elected officials making obligatory statements, the diversity equality and inclusion training memos at work and the twisting of the meaning of the God’s rainbow. How should we approach this month and those celebrating pride as followers of Christ?

Jesus did not call the wise, wealthy, educated or the popular to be ones who would carry on His mission after He ascended to heaven. He called ordinary people like fishermen, tax collectors, persecutors and doctors. Too often, we think that the Great Commission will only be accomplished by those with obvious callings, capabilities and resources. However, this is not the case in the advance of the Gospel through the early New Testament church. God chose ordinary people to carry His extraordinary work in the world. Let’s consider the ordinary lives of Aquila and Priscilla and the incredible help they were to the advance of the Gospel.

God has been teaching our church family that the great commission of Jesus Christ is for each of us. We are responsible to take the Gospel to the world in this generation. Our path is through Kettering to the uttermost parts of the earth. If this is to be accomplished, we must all participate in the going. To this end, let's consider a simple principle of life with powerful application to our personal participation in taking the Good News to the world.

There are many wonderful examples of mothers in the Bible that God has given to us for our benefit. There is the sweet surrender of Mary the mother of Jesus (Luke 1:38), the strong resolve of Jael who defeated the Assyrian general (Judges 4) and the steadfast faith of the widow of Zarephath who fed Elijah not knowing where she would get more food for herself and her son (1 Kings 17). However, there is one woman that stands our from many others because of her worship and prayer. Her name is Hannah. Hannah navigated crushing grief and vindictive irritation through prayer and worship. We can do the same.

Jesus has fed the multitude with just five loves and tow fish near the shore of the Sea of Galilee. Perceiving that the religious leaders were about to make a move to take Him, Jesus sent His disciples on a head to Capernaum while He went up into a mountain to be alone. As the night progressed a storm arose on the Sea and the disciples thought they were in danger. He went to them by walking on the Sea and rescues them. Some of the multitude came looking for Jesus in Capernaum because of the bread that He had given. While they were looking for physical bread, He offered them the Bread of Life—Himself.

Our world suggests that primary purpose of parenting is to raise children who can function in society as adults and make positive contributions to it. Many parents prioritize achieving financial independence and career satisfaction as goals for their children. While achieving these goals may be good, biblically minded parents will have a higher goal for their children. Let’s consider the life of Lois, Eunice and Timothy in the Bible and gain ahigher goal as parents and as a church family.

As we consider Biblical principles for families, it is easy to focus the season of life that includes raising children. However, the God’s Word gives us many illustrations about the grand parenting and what we would call the retirement season of life. Until we stand before God and give an account of our service to Him, we can and should thrive in our relationship with Him and our responsibility to Him. Let’s see how we can thrive in every season of life from the testimony of David.

God instituted the home in Genesis chapter two. He created man and woman, brought them together in marriage and instructed them to be fruitful and multiply. We all are in different stages and have ad different experiences when it comes to the home and family. You may be a child, a teenager, a single adult, a single mom, a widow or widower, a divorcee, an empty-nester, a grandparent or still in the midst of raising children. In reality, we all need to know what God has to say about the family. So, as we begin this series of messages and workshops, let’s consider the lives and families of Abraham and Lot. Their choices and goals resulted in two very different life and family outcomes. May God help us to learn from their examples so that our families can be enriched.

Paul communicated an important message to the church at Colossi. He addressed them as saints and faithful brethren. They were believers. They were saved. They were disciples of Christ. They were Christians. They were like us. Much of the content of the Epistle to the Colossians was focused on how they could live the Christian life so that Christ would be promoted and pleased. In a sense, Paul was saying to them “This is how you promote and please Jesus.”

Paul deeply cared about the new believers in Thessalonica. Timothy had reported on how vibrancy of their faith and the difficulty of their persecution. His first epistle was focused on giving them perspective as a persecuted church. Certainly all had much perspective to give. To close the letter, he encourages them to be persistent in their worship. Paul helps them and us to see that persecution should not be allowed to weaken our worship, but deepen it.
Worship is ascribing worth to God.
It is orienting our lives around God.

Wars and rumors of wars are presently all around us. Many are watching with a grimace the tensions that are escalating in the Middle East and even around our country with the protests that we have seen. Tonight, we will not focus on those battles, but the battlefront on which we all find ourselves. May the instructions from God's Word help us to know what to do on the battlefront.

The church family in Thessalonica was vibrant and full of faith. They had spread the message of the Gospel far and wide and because of it had experienced persecution. To help fortify them, Paul wrote a letter to give them divine perspective about their new lives in Christ as well as what was to be expected at the rapture and with the Day of the Lord. He concludes by helping them with their view of spiritual leadership in the church, their relationships with one another in the church and their worship. Tonight we want to focus on the matter of church family relationships.

David often faced seasons of affliction from his enemies. In these times he was very aware of his desperate need of God’s deliverance. What is amazing about many of the Psalms, including this one, is that before he was delivered, David began to rejoice in His God. He also encouraged others saints to look away from their affliction and to God and rejoice. Where did he gather the strength to do that? Today, we will learn how David’s hope in God brought about a divine strength to accomplish God’s will. This strength is abundantly available to us as well.

The church is a family of believers. Sixty-six times in Paul’s Epistles, he uses the familial term, brethren. To this family, God has provided instructions concerning leadership, relationships and worship. Let’s discover what God has to say about spiritual leadership in Christ’s church.

The Apostles were sent ones who had witnessed Christ’s ministry from His baptism through His ascension back to heaven. It seems that Paul witnessed the life and ministry of Christ as a young unbeliever, but was especially moved by the martyring of Stephen (Acts 7:58) Paul, whose name was still Saul at that time, rejected Christ and persecuted His church until He saw the resurrected Jesus on the road to Damascus. It is fascinating to read His perspective of the ministry Christ gave to Him and the persecutions He endured with great hope. During the forty days after Christ’s resurrection, every individual who was privileged to see our resurrected Lord, a mission was given—go and tell. In our American mindset, we often imagine this as a glitzy, glamorous opportunity, but must remember that Jesus informed His disciples that we would not be treated different than they treated Him. (John 15:20) The Apostles’ lives illustrated this reality! Yet they embraced the commission Christ gave with hope in God. May we do the same!
Let’s be equipped to communicate the significance of the resurrection with those that we know. This past Sunday, we learned that the resurrections means that we can have a personal relationship with Jesus Christ and that He has a purpose for our lives — to go and tell others. We also learned that as believers we are risen with Him. Because of this we should seek those things which are above as well as set our affections those things. We should lean into the eternal things. Tonight, let’s briefly overview of the appearance of the risen Christ.
When we place faith in Jesus Christ for the gift of salvation, we identify with Him in His death, burial and resurrection. Because we are risen with Him, we have a new outlook and goal in life. Paul challenges the Colossian believer to accept these new goals. May we do the same!

Mary Magdalene was a woman who had experienced the radical difference that Jesus could make in a life. She had been in the grip of seven devils and Christ set her free. She followed Jesus faithfully and served Him with all her heart. Yet when He died on the cross, her hopes were dashed like the rest of His followers. Let’s consider the the details of Mary’s visit to the Garden Tomb on the day Christ rose from the dead and let’s see how Christ’s resurrection gave her hope.
When Jesus was put on trial by the religious elites in Jerusalem before the Roman government, many of His followers began to fear for their lives. Peter denied Christ while warming his hands by the fire outside of the judgement hall. The disciples scattered and hid. If we are honest, we probably would have done the same. However, there were some individuals that are recorded in the narratives who stood near and demonstrated a deep love for Christ in this most difficult hour. Their testimony still exhorts us today to love Christ and stand for Him.

We are awaiting the soon coming of our Savior, Jesus Christ. Maranatha! Even so come Lord Jesus! We should be aware of the events that will follow the rapture so that we can live for Jesus with hope and engage the world with the message of Christ. We do not have to be uncertain, but we can be confident because the Word of God give us understanding.

Palm Sunday is the day we celebrate Jesus formally presenting Himself in Jerusalem as the Messiah. While they wanted and expected a conquering King, He came to be a suffering Servant. While it began with a rejoicing crowd, it ended with a rejecting crowd and His crucifixion. Jesus had specifically explained to His disciples all that would happen when He presented Himself in Jerusalem including how He would die and rise again the third day. On this Palm Sunday, let’s consider the fact that without the sacrifice of Christ on the cross for our sins, we would have no hope.

The day you received Jesus Christ, all things became new with you. “Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.” (2 Corinthians 5:17) If that happened twenty years ago or if it was last week, it is still true. However, we have to be reminded often of this newness so we can act accordingly. Paul wrote to the Ephesian believers to help them to understand the beauty of their eternal salvation in Jesus Christ. “For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: 9 Not of works, lest any man should boast.” (Ephesians 2:8–9) He then urged them to walk in a way that would compliment their new life in Christ. “In brief, God says in Ephesian chapters 1–3, ‘I have made you a saint.’ In chapters 4–6, He says, ‘Now, live a saintly life.’” (Wuest) This same exhortation is needed in our lives today.
1 Peter 1:14 As obedient children, not fashioning yourselves according to the former lusts in your ignorance:

Paul was concerned that the Thessalonians were living in unnecessary hopelessness concerning loved ones who had died. God led him to write a precious set of verses that has graced Christian funerals and encouraged mourning hearts since the first century. Tonight we rejoice in these words and accept them as the very word of God.

The moment we trusted Christ for the forgiveness of our sin and eternal life, we were totally, eternally forgiven. The penalty for our past, present and future sins was completely paid for at the cross of Calvary. It is impossible to add to the payment Christ already made on our behalf. Our position before God is as righteous as Jesus Christ Himself. “For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him.” (2 Corinthians 5:21) Through Christ, we were born into the family of God and became one of His beloved children. This is the believer’s positional reality, yet practically we still struggle with our sinful flesh in this life. When we sin, there is no need to receive salvation again, but to simply admit our sin and ask our heavenly Father for forgiveness. He is always faithful and just to forgive us of our sins and fellowship with us.

Have you ever found it to be hard to receive brotherly love? Perhaps it was an act of generosity or an offer to help that you found difficult to accept. In a follow-up to this past Sunday evening’s message, we want to consider the matter of receiving brotherly love. When brotherly love is both given and received, it sends a powerful message to the world around us that we are followers of Christ.

Last time we learned that as believers sexual impurity is to be avoided and we are to abound in holiness. Coupled with that truth is the concept of brotherly love. Let’s consider how the Thessalonians were doing really well in this area and were encouraged to continue.

Do you like suffering? I am sure you would say no! Most of us really struggle when we are facing the worst of life. It is difficult! Today, we want to consider the subject of finding hope in the midst of our hurt. That hurt may be self-inflicted but often times it is inflicted on us because of the words, attitudes and actions of others. We may wonder why God allows such things to happen to us. In our passage of Scripture, we will learn some of what God is doing in our lives when we are dealing with hurt and suffering.

Paul wrote to the new believers in Thessalonica to commend their vibrant faith in the midst of persecution. He reminded them of how tenderly they (Paul, Silas and Timothy) had nurtured them in the truth and how their lives were radically transformed by the power of the Word of God. He encouraged them to be established/ground in their faith until the day they would stand before the Lord Jesus Christ. In order for them to be established in their faith in the pagan, sensualize culture that surrounded them, Paul had to challenge them in the matter of holiness and purity.

We live in a culture where anything that makes you sad or unhappy is considered a bad thing. Our culture reacts when God’s truth confronts their sin. When facing the consequences of that sin, our culture blames God and others for their situation. Sadly, sometimes we do as well. This certainly was the case in Jeremiah’s day. Jeremiah, the weeping prophet, penned the poetic words of this book as an expression of sorrow in the midst of the Babylonian captivity. Israel had been rebellious against God and so God allowed them to be conquered and taken captive. These consequences for their sin brought sorrow. A sense of despair and hopelessness overwhelmed their souls. That would be expected! Yet, in the middle of this book of lamentations, Jeremiah expresses beautiful hope in God. Considering this passage will help us find meaning, hope and practical steps forward when facing the chastening of God.

There is a lot of rage and anger in our world today. In 2023, 92% of Americans reported that they had witnessed an incident of road rage. Displays of anger in protests, hate crimes, at the sporting events and in the work place seem almost common place. As a society we are on edge! It is easy to see the anger and its consequences in others, but what about our lives? Let’s pause to consider an incident in the life of Moses who allowed his anger to control his reaction and faced very difficult long-term consequences. Let’s seek the help of the Holy Spirit to put off sinful anger and put on characteristics of Christ.

Gambling is a growing problem in our country. Recently, a record number of people gambled on the Super Bowl. According to the American Gaming Association, 67.8 million people gambled $23.1 billion on the game’s outcome. That’s 44% higher than the previous record of $16 billion placed by 50.4 million people set in 2023. 26% of Americans wagered money on the game making for a 35% increase in the number of U.S. gamblers. With the growth of gambling in our culture, we should pause and consider what God’s Word has to say about it. While you will not find a Bible verse that says “Thou shalt not gamble,” we can study Biblical principles that give us clear divine guidance.
GAMBLING takes place when something of material value, typically money, is risked with the possibility of winning more on an event with an uncertain outcome. Whether betting on a sporting event, playing a card game such as poker, buying a lottery ticket, or spinning a roulette wheel, one thing is certain: when it comes to gambling, the outcome is at least partly decided by chance. —Clinton and Scalise

The economies of this world are very uncertain. We observe their fluctuation day by day. Presently, there is much conversation centered around the weakening of the American dollar and how that will impact the rest of the world. Our national debt continues to climb and threatens our stability. Individually, Americans face uncertainty brought about cost increase of groceries, houses, cars and goods used in daily life. All this is coupled with the ever present discontent among consumers. It seems a life of anxiety and worry mixed is almost unavoidable for the average American. But is this what God desires for followers of Jesus Christ? Let’s consider what Jesus taught his disciples concerning covetousness, worry-free living and seeking first the Kingdom
of God.

The idiomatic expression "get you" is a heartfelt acknowledgment that someone understands or relates deeply to another person's feelings or perspectives. Over the last couple of years, a large religious ad campaign has been running entitled “He Gets Us” on TV, social media, books and more. It gained a lot of attention and criticism with its recent showings at the Super bowl. The ad featured foot washing between various people representing differing societal groups and emphasized the need to humbly love your neighbor like Jesus did to matter the differences. It promoted Jesus as one Who gets you no matter who you are or what you do. It concluded with this line,“Jesus didn’t teach hate. He washed feet. He gets us. All of us.” It called for people to follow the example of Jesus and love their neighbors. While there are some points of truth in the campaign, it also creates some confusion as to Who Jesus really is and why He came.

Many of you have been making wonderful decision for Christ. You have been taking steps of growth. You have been allowing the Holy Spirit to root out attitudes, behaviors and habits. You have been praying and seeking the will of the Lord. You have been endeavoring to grow in the studying of God’s Word. Any time that we determine to obey God there will be a test of our resolve and there will be opposition. How will you follow-through on your decisions to obey the will of God as He has made it clear to you?

How is your relationship with God today? Is it close? Is it distant? David knew what it was to be both close to God and distant from Him. He had a personal relationship with Him, but there were times that he strayed and yielded to temptation. He asked a question that is relevant to all believers. How can one be cleansed from sin? The answer is simple and life changing.

Last week we learned that hopelessness is a reality for a growing number of Americans and sadly for believers as well. We also discovered that God’s people in the Bible were not exempt from hopelessness. This is certainly the case for David, who is believed to be the penman of Psalm 42 and 43. These two Psalms are linked together with a common message—Hope in God. The noise of uncertainty, the endless clamor of enemies and pestilent murmur of worry had overwhelmed David’s soul. However, because he had a personal relationship with his God, his persistent refrain was, “Hope in God.” This same refrain should be ours’ as well. Let’s continue to learn how we can choose to hope in our God!

Some say that hopelessness is a public health crisis in the United Sates. It is striking to think that the wealthiest nation on earth seems to be bankrupt of hope. God’s people are not exempt from this reality today nor in the times in which the Bible was written. David is believed to be the penman of Psalm 42 and 43. These two Psalms are linked together with a common message—Hope in God. The noise of uncertainty, the endless clamor of enemies and pestilent murmur of worry had overwhelmed David’s soul. However, because he had a personal relationship with his God, his persistent refrain was, “Hope in God.” This same refrain should be ours’ as well.

Prayer was a notable part of Christ’s ministry while on earth. His disciples were so moved by how He prayed, they asked Him, Lord, teach us to pray.” Likely the most touching prayer we have recorded was penned by John. Some call it Christ’s High Priestly prayer. It is a prayer of intercession for His disciples both then and now. Tonight we will consider a few highlights from this prayer so that we might be strengthened in our own prayer lives.

The book of Joshua opens up with a transition of leadership from Moses to Joshua. Taking the leadership of the children of Israel was not a small undertaking. It would be quite challenging! Not only would He need to gain their trust, but He was to lead them into a period of exhausting conquest. Multiple times God instructed Joshua to be strong and courageous. He provided Joshua with means by which to experience good success in his God-given commission. The same is very applicable to us as we enter a new year.

“There is no hope for me. God cannot forgive me for the things I have done!” I heard these words while sitting across the table from a middle age man in July of 2016. My heart broke to hear him say and believe such statements. I passionately assured him that God did love him very much and that Jesus came to take his punishment for all of his sin and deliver him. Sadly, this man ended up taking his own life and I will never forget his hopelessness. He is not alone in his hopelessness. Suicide rates have reached highest point in more than 80 years according to USA Today. Is there an answer to the hopelessness of mankind? The Bible tells us that there is and His name is Jesus. He came to earth as a servant not only to give us hope, but to be our hope.

Can you imagine the level of confusion, hurt and even betrayal that must of welled up in the heart and mind of Joseph when he found out that Mary was pregnant? He loved her! His whole life was changing! What was he to do with Mary? Should he proceed with marriage? Should he divorce her according to the Jewish law? As Joseph wrestled with what to do, the Angel of the Lord appeared and help him to understand all that was happening in Mary and their lives. He gave clear instruction for Joseph to follow and Joseph’s servant-like response is summed up for our example in the words he “…did as the angel of the Lord had bidden him…”

Love seems to be an overused and undervalued word in our society. With the same word we express appreciation for a piece of pie as well as for a special person. Even in relationships, love is often expressed based a present feeling and not enduring commitment. However blurred the perception of love is in society around us, we should be mindful that love is central to Christianity because it is a dominate characteristic of Christ Himself. We would not know love without having first experienced it from Him. The Apostle John, the disciple of love, urges believers to look at Christ’s love for us and in turned demonstrate that love to one another in real, practical, tangible ways. Let’s grow in Christ’s love together!

Many weeks had gone by and the news of affliction that the Thessalonians faced burdened the heart of the Apostle Paul. While he tried to stay focused on the work at hand in Athens, he just could not bear the thought of the Thessalonian church becoming disillusioned in their faith. He decided to send Timothy to check on them and return with a report. Paul’s heart was to encourage the faith of the new believers.

The Christmas narrative is full of wonder…and servants! Jesus took upon Himself the form of a servant. Mary identified herself as a servant. Joseph acted with obedience like a servant. The shepherds, Simeon and Anna all demonstrated humble service to the Lord and others. What a wonder that this is the context that surrounds coming of the King of all Kings. As we begin our Christmas series, let’s consider the life of Mary—the handmaid of the Lord.

As the Apostle Peter faced martyrdom, he was moved by the Holy Sprit to write a second epistle to those who had “obtained like precious faith” in Jesus Christ. He was motivated to encourage believers to remember their salvation, to continue to grow in grace, to beware of false teachers and to be diligent knowing that the judgement of the unrighteous come as a thief in the night. His call to diligence as we await the trumpet’s sound continues to be intensely relevant for us today!

Psalm 100:2,4 Serve the Lord with gladness: Come before his presence with singing. 4 Enter into his gates with thanksgiving, And into his courts with praise: Be thankful unto him, and bless his name.
Gratitude and service go together. Not only should we practice the giving of thanks to God for our salvation and for His many blessings, we should serve Him and others with gladness. The day that Jesus was betrayed, He taught His squabbling disciples an important lesson by example. He taught them the importance of serving one another no matter how lowly the task is. Lets see and mimic four actions of our Savior from that night.

Long before there was a holiday set aside in the United States for thanksgiving, God called His people to be thankful. The Bible indicates that the lack of thanksgiving is an evidence of a wayward society. Whether in private or public, God desires us to be full of gratitude. Let’s pause and evaluate how we are doing in the giving of thanks especially for the salvation that Jesus has provided for us.

Many Christians will live with a sense that they cannot please God. Satan has tempted them to believe that God is a hard master and no matter what you do, or how hard you try, pleasing him is only a dream. Is this true? Does the Bible say anything about how to please God and know it and be assured of it?

Daniel lived in the midst of a pagan, wicked society for more than sixty-six years. That is a long time and it is plenty of time to become discouraged or compromised. Yet Daniel continued to live godly in the final days of his life just as he had in his teenage years. Our passage gives us the account of Daniel’s service and influence on a third king and world leader. Through the pressures, the persecution, the positions faithfully maintained godliness. May we his life encourage the same in us.

Living in Babylon as a follower of God was more than challenging and sometimes life-threatening. Daniel and his three friends had purposed to honor God and His Word. They had been unmovable in their convictions, committed to God though ostracized, steadfast in their worship of God alone and thriving as followers of God. Because of their faithfulness, God gave them incredible moments of influence and even key positions of leadership within the government of Babylon under king Nebuchadnezzar. However, after Nebuchadnezzar died in 562BC, it seemed that Daniel was all but forgotten and his public influence faded. For decades the kings and kingdom of Babylon carried on without Him. Yet, Daniel continued to live a life of Godward integrity.

Paul had been in Thessalonica for three Sabbath days and God worked powerfully through the message of the Gospel. The Thessolonians received the message and became effect in broadcasting the Gospel in their community and the region. They had a strong testimony of faith. That did not happen by accident. God used Paul, Silas and Timothy to nurture the believers to maturity.

Have you ever given up on some hope, dream or vision too early? You threw in the towel right before the breakthrough. Only to realize through hind sight that you missed out on a God-sized opportunity. Daniel and his three friends were taken hostage from Israel to the land of Babylon. They were from a royal family an so they were made eunuchs and made to serve King Nebuchadnezzar. They were unmovable in their convictions, committed to their faith, and steadfast in their worship of God alone. Because of this, God was able to bless and use them in a powerful way. They did not just survive in Babylon, but thrived as followers of God. Let’s see how Daniel did not give up on king Nebuchadnezzar and how God used him to influence the king to trust and acknowledge the God of heaven!

Paul is burdened to encourage the fledgeling church of Thessalonica. They had received the Gospel in the face of much pressure from their families, the godless culture and the unbelieving religious leaders. Paul had only been with them for three sabbath days before he had to leave town under cover of darkness. When the unbelievers could not find Paul, they dragged Jason, a new believer, out of his home and accused of receiving Paul and identifying with him. In all of this, the Thessalonians church needed biblical perspective so that they could press on for Christ. After a gentle introduction, Paul began to remind them of and commend them for their faith.

Have you ever been put a place to decide who you will worship? Worship means to give worth towards someone or something through heart attitudes and life actions and carries the idea of bowing down. Daniel’s three friends, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego, were faced with this decision in the land of Babylon. They were young, but had been taught by their parents to only worship God. Their response provides to us a vivid lesson that we must embrace as we also live in a world that demands the godly to bow down to its gods and ideologies.

There are many cultural debates today that we are facing that we must consider through the lenses of Scripture—we need a Biblical worldview. Subjects like gender, the legalization of drug use, parental rights over children, the sacredness of all human life both unborn and aged and the list continues. The citizens of Ohio are facing a decision beginning on October 11 as to whether the recreational use of marijuana should be legalized. As followers of Christ, we have the God-given responsibility and opportunity to voice our belief at the ballot box. Does the God’s Word have anything to say either directly or in principle that would help us cast a God-pleasing vote?

We do not know her name, but God recorded her story for the rest of time in the pages of the Bible. The lady found in our Bible text today was plagued with a disease for more than a decade. After she had depleted all of her options for help, she heard about Jesus and His powerful miracles. When He came to her city, she quietly navigated her way through the crowd to where He was so that she could touch Him believing He would make her whole. Her story that began with enormous personal disappointment concludes with a public declaration praising Jesus who made her whole. Just as Jesus made this desperate lady physically whole from her disease, He longs to make us spiritually whole from our sin. Let’s consider this narrative with an open heart expecting God to give us the wholeness we need today.

A key verse in the song calls them to bless the Lord and to consider His benefits especially the benefit of eternal salvation.

If you have read the Bible or listened to the news recently, you have know about the nation of Israel. Israel has been a major focus of geo-political conversations since its inception. As we focus on the need of the world around us during Mission Weeks, it is important that we give special consideration to the Jewish people—God’s chosen people. Since the first century, the Jews have be dispersed throughout the world. However, in 1948 Israel was reborn as a nation and many Jews have felt prompted to return to their homeland. This is the same land that God promised to Abraham in Genesis and restated to Moses in Exodus. Today, we will seek to broaden our understanding of God’s heart toward Israel as seen in Scripture so that we might have Israel on our hearts as well.
In the book of Ecclesiastes, Solomon describes the futility of a life lived without the wisdom of God and apart from the fear of God. This kind of living leads to the sickness of soul and vexation of spirit. It’s an inner chronicle of a man on a desperate search for meaning and purpose. His search would lead him full circle from total self-centeredness to a place of total surrender to his Creator! Along the way, Solomon wrestles through the great earthly inequities of justice that he observes in the lives of the wicked and the righteous. His conclusion will help us to serve and worship God with joy.

Mary Magdalene and Mary were running from the empty tomb to go announce the good news to the disciples that Jesus was alive. You can imagine their stunned amazement when Jesus appeared to them on the road. They immediately fell down in worship at His feet. Jesus greeted them and gave the ladies a message for His disciples. He wanted them meet Him in Galilee so that they could see Him in person. This meeting would not only change them, but change the world!

We have all been in situations that felt impossible or were indeed impossible to overcome. Perhaps it was a personal issue that haunted you every waking hour, a financial burden that overwhelmed you or an enemy that showed up everywhere you went. In these kind of moments, you feel trapped and you are not alone. The Bible provides us many accounts of God’s people finding themselves in impossible situations. Tonight, we will observe how God marvelously showed up in one such situation when the Israelites were trapped at the Red Sea by the greatest army on earth in that day. You will be encouraged to know that God is still showing up and that man’s extremity is merely God’s opportunity.

We often face much pressure to compromise God’s truth in the midst of our secular society in order to feel accepted. We face this pressure in our families, our workplaces, our schools and communities. In today’s passage, Daniel demonstrated commitment to God and His truth no matter the consequence. When he could have compromised, he chose to humbly speak truth to power and God mightily used him. May we seek the Holy Spirit’s divine enablement to live with this same level of commitment.

History allows us to grasp a bigger picture and to learn lessons from the events and the people involved. This is most certainly the true as we reflect on the nation of Israel and the Babylonian captivity. In particular, we have record of a young man named Daniel along with his three friends who were captured and taken to Babylon where they lived out the rest of their lives. What is amazing is that they faithfully stood for God and were unmovable in their obedience to His Word. When you live in an ungodly culture, like Babylon, your challenges will be unavoidable, but your convictions must be unmovable.

Airplanes, cars and even our bodies are made up of many parts. Each part is necessary and must function in order the machine or body to work properly and achieve its purpose. God described the church as a body with many different parts set together in order to cooperate and accomplish the mission of Christ in a local community and the world. The church is Christ’s body and He expects that every member of His body would take part in the ministry of the church. This was exemplified in the lives of many believers in the first century church. Today we will observe one of them, Matthias, who took part in the ministry so that the church in Jerusalem would thrive.

David consistently had a desire to give God the praise and glory due His name. Beyond penning many songs of worship, David desired to bring the Ark of the Covenant back to Jerusalem and place it in a tent that he would prepare for it because the tabernacle at Shiloh had been destroyed during the invasion of the Philistines while Eli was High Priest. David later desired to build a temple for the LORD but was told that Solomon would accomplish this for the LORD. In all of this, we see in David a heart and desire to worship the LORD. In our passage today, we see this heart, but we also see the neglect to worship God according to truth. In the process, a man named Uzzah lost his life. We can learn a valuable lesson from this life of David about how we must worship our great God.

There are many places in the world that we would be glad to visit. Perhaps a visit to the Grand Canyon to take in some breath-taking views, or a visit to Caribbean to enjoy the sun setting over the warm and vast ocean waters, or to Africa to take a safari adventure. Taking a scenic or adventurous trip can bring us some happiness and rejuvenation as we step away to enjoy some time alone with God and our family. Sometimes, however, we miss an opportunity for gladness and rejuvenation that God has provided to us regularly. David, the Old Testament penman of many of the Psalms, describes how going to the house of the Lord brought him gladness. While in the New Testament, believer are the temple of the Holy Spirit, God still calls the called out assembly of believers the house of God. As believers, gathering together in the name of Jesus Christ should make us glad. We will learn why from the testimony of David.

Paul has finally arrived in Rome! His presence there was the long-awaited fulfillment of both his heart desire and the promise God had given to him. After being transferred into the custody of the Nero's captain of the guard, Paul was placed under house arrest until his hearing before Nero. He used that time to preach the Gospel to all that he could. The commitment of Paul to the Gospel of Jesus Christ during this season is truly remarkable. May we grow in our commitment to the Gospel and continue to spread it no matter what comes our way.

When you enjoy a dish that someone else has prepared you might ask them, "What is in this?" or "Can I get the recipe?" The life of the believer and their church can be the same way. When people interact with either, the ingredients in their heart and life can cause them want more. In this message you will discover from Hebrews chapter thirteen, twelve ingredients that should be a part of every believers lifestyle and thereby part of their church.

He had done this because the likelihood of a fair trial in Jerusalem was doubtful and his case continued to be stalled with political tensions between the the Roman governors and Jewish religious leaders. Paul would be transported to Rome along with a couple friends and a ship full of criminals likely to the coliseum to provide gory entertainment for the Romans. During the voyage, some risky decisions were made by the pilot to continue to sail during the winter months. A violent Nor’Easter storm arose in the Mediterranean and after fourteen long days caused their large wooden, grain ship to run aground on the rocky coast of Mileta or Malta. Paul was stuck there for three months. Today we will see how Paul emerges with gratitude and courage from a season of storms at sea and being stuck on an island. May this be our reality as well.
The influence of fathers cannot be understated. Throughout our society and even within the church, we see the devastating effects of fatherlessness as well as passive fathering. Most fathers truly desire to be the very best father they can be. There are many opinions about what a good father is or does. However, we should look at our Heavenly Father and the relationship He has with His Son to gain some insight and encouragement. Let’s all take a deliberate look at our Heavenly Father today.

We fully believe and stand upon the truth of God’s Word. Because of this, what is preached and taught will often be in conflict with the culture around us. We live in a day of blatant sin and pride against our Creator. The Word of God has been questioned and twisted, the love that God has commanded has been perverted, gender distinction that God designed has been confused, the definition of marriage God gave has been rejected and the very token of God’s covenant with all mankind following the flood has been stolen. The church of Jesus Christ is the foundation and what elevates God’s truth in society. In these days, we must not cower to world around us, but boldly stand on the truth and promises of our God. Today, we will learn how the rainbow is a token of God’s promise and the finality of His judgement against sin.

Paul and two hundred and seventy-five others, including criminals, have been on a wild ship ride through a storm named Euroclydon. It was a typhoon. They were supposed to winter at Phenice which was forty miles west of Fair Havens on the island of Crete. However, after their voyage began the sudden typhoon arose. They had to take down the sails and just let the wind and waves drive the ship. For fourteen days the storm did not cease and most lost all hope of survival except for the faith-filled words of Paul. He told them that God had revealed that no one would lose their lives even though the ship would be a total loss. Marvelously, God’s providential hand is seen in guiding the cargo vessel four hundred and eighty miles west to a tiny island in the Adriatic Sea. The ship was run aground on the rocky coast and all the passengers escaped safely to shore. The island was Malita or Malta and they would be stranded there for the next three wintery months. During this time, Paul demonstrates how we should navigate the situations and season of our lives in which we feel stuck.
Can you remember being in a storm that threatened your life and you gave up hope of survival? This was the kind of storm that Paul and the rest of the two hundred and seventy-five people on board the ship of Alexandria would experience. Most of the time, when a storm comes into our lives, our first and only thought is how to get out of the storm. Sometimes we blame God or others for the storm and become resentful. In the storms of life that we will face, may we emulate the attitude the Apostle Paul demonstrated during the storm on the Adriatic Sea.

The proverbs are full of rich nuggets of practical wisdom for daily living. King Solomon penned many of his proverbs based on the experiences of his life. You might be familiar with the statement, “Hind sight is twenty twenty.” What is awesome is that God inspired a whole book of the Bible full of hind sights. It is an incredible wealth of wisdom. Some believers so value the wisdom found in the pages of Proverbs that they read one chapter a day so as to read all of Proverbs each month and twelve times per year. Tonight, we will study one proverb out of the three thousand proverbs that King Solomon wrote. It speaks to the connection of our physical and mental health. Let’s meditate together on it and gain some insights for our Christian journey this week.

Paul warned the Colossians to be careful not to be looted by the philosophies of the world around them. This warning is very appropriate for believers today. One of the philosophies that must be avoided is that of consumerism especially in relation to our participation in the body of Christ. In this message, you will be challenged to be a contributor and not a consumer in the church.

After two long years in Caesarea and three official hearings, Paul finally boards a ship headed Rome. God had promised that he would witness of Christ in Rome just as he had in Jerusalem. It must have been a great moment for Paul to walk the ship’s entry plank and to be on his way to fulfilling the eager desire of his heart recorded in Romans 1:15, “So, as much as in me is, I am ready to preach the gospel to you that are at Rome also.” God inspired this account and used Luke as the human penman to give us vivid details of how carefully He governs in the circumstances of life. While this account provides a historical perspective of sea-faring practices in that day, it also provides us a powerful illustration of how God uses Christlike believers in the daily affairs of the ungodly.

Paul has been wrapped up in the Roman court system for the past two years over an allegations that he had brought a gentile into the temple in Jerusalem. While the allegation was false and Trophimus did not enter the temple, the rage of the Jewish religious leaders caused them to push forward regardless of the facts in an effort to kill Paul. He had been one of them, but now that he was a believer and powerful messenger of the Gospel of Jesus Christ, they despised him like few others. In our passage today, Paul continues to defend himself before King Agrippa II. This was the third hearing of his case and each time before a different Roman official. Pay attention to Whom Paul gives the credit for his faithful continuance through the years and this wearisome, politically-charged legal process. May we seek to adopt the some mindset and passion as the Apostle Paul.

Paul is in the middle of giving a defense for himself in before King Agrippa II, Bernice and Festus. The reason for this hearing was so that Festus could document the charges against Paul for his appeals case before Nero. During his defense, Paul spoke about the heavenly vision that he had on the road to Damascus. What Christ revealed to him that day and the days following had radically revolutionized Paul’s life. In fact, over two decades later and Paul still motivated by it. As we consider our own lives, what vision do we have for our lives and is it from our Lord?
Israel’s history is overflowing with the accounts of the marvelous works of God (Psalm 78:12-16). He used Moses to lead over a million Israelites out of bondage and servitude in Egypt, the world power of that day. He divided the Red Sea so that they could cross on dry ground and closed the waters over the formidable Egyptian Army destroying it in mere moments. He led them through the wilderness with a pillar of fire by night and a cloud by day. He fed them with manna and did not allow their clothes or shoes to wear out. He gave them water out of rocks. After forty years of wandering, He used Joshua to lead a new generation into the land of Canaan and gave them great victory against incredible odds. He satisfied them with land, houses and vineyards. The goodness of God was beyond imagination. Yet, after Joshua and his contemporary elders died, a generation grew up that was unaware of the marvelous work of God.
Judges 2:7 And the people served the Lord all the days of Joshua, and all the days of the elders that outlived Joshua, who had seen all the great works of the Lord, that he did for Israel.

Festus, the new Roman governor in Judea, heard Paul’s case in Caesarea and discover that the allegations against him were theological, not criminal. Seeing that justice was not likely, Paul appealed to Caesar, whose name was Nero. Festus had a problem. He really did not have any documented criminal charges against Paul that could be sent to Nero for the appeals hearing. Convenient for Festus, King Herod Agrippa II had come for a visit to Caesarea and Festus sought counsel from him. King Agrippa agreed to hear Paul’s case in order to help Festus document the charges for Paul’s appeal. Paul stood before Agrippa with his freedom resting in his judgement. In reality, if there were no criminal charges, Paul should have been set free. However, this would have caused great tension between Fetus and the Jewish leaders. Paul’s case was riddled with religious persecution, stalling, injustice and political bias. Yet, we will see that his demeanor in the courtroom was respectful and purposeful.

We all go through seasons of trial, testing and turbulence. Times that shake us to our core. Moments that overwhelm us. Scripture is full of illustrations of this being the reality for followers of God as well. Can you think of one Bible character who did not face difficult times? Tonight we will continue to study one of David’s five prayer Psalms.We are not certain about the difficulty he faced, but we do get to read his prayer imploring God to specifically shew him a token for good. May this prayer strengthen you and encourage you to also call out to your Heavenly Father for a token for good.

We have learned that Christ has given every believer a spiritual gift to be used within the context of the local church to build up the body of Jesus Christ. These gifts must be discovered, developed and deployed. We have all seen someone with great talent that wasted their talent. We want to be good stewards of the manifold grace of God and develop the gifts He has entrusted to us.

It had been two years since Paul stood trial before Felix for the alleged crimes of being a pestilent fellow, an instigator of sedition among all the Jews in the World, a chief of a sect of the Nazarenes, and defiling the temple by bringing a Gentile into the temple. All but one of the accusations were false, Paul was indeed a leader of those who followed Jesus Christ of Nazareth. For the past two years, there has been no action in Paul’s case. However, the enemies of Christ were still boiling with hatred for both the message and messenger of the Gospel. As Festus, the new governor, assumed office, Paul’s accusers seized the opportunity to advance a criminal trial against Paul. Today we will see how the enemies of Christ will use whatever means available to stop both the message and messengers of the Gospel. We will also see how Paul demonstrated resolve to boldly continue forward for Christ and the Gospel despite the persecution.

This is one of the great prayers of David. It flows from a humble heart that is keenly aware of its need for The LORD—Jehovah. Interspersed with praise for who God is, David asks The LORD to stoop to hear him and begs Him to give full attention to his prayer and supplication. In this message we will study the prayer and discover how it applies to our present living.

God has given a gift to every believer. (Ephesians 4:7) These gifts are given for the purpose of serving Christ and edifying His body—the church. In this message, you will discover what gifts God has given, be encouraged to develop those gifts and also deploy them for the glory of God.
Romans 12:6–8 Having then gifts differing according to the grace that is given to us, whether prophecy, let us prophesy according to the proportion of faith; 7 Or ministry, let us wait on our ministering: or he that teacheth, on teaching; 8 Or he that exhorteth, on exhortation: he that giveth, let him do it with simplicity; he that ruleth, with diligence; he that sheweth mercy, with cheerfulness.

What happens in your heart when you hear of being persecuted for following Christ? As Americans, we certainly have not been accustom to facing persecution for believing in Jesus Christ, worshiping Him in our assemblies or sharing Christ in our communities. However, just because we do not have as much experience with it, does not mean that the persecution of believers is not happening around the world and even within our own country. Jesus finished the beatitudes by helping his followers understand how to handle persecution. If believers live according to the truths Jesus preached in the sermon on the mount, persecution in some form must be expected. Our goal today is to hear and received the instruction of Christ on how we should handle persecution when it comes.

We constantly hear of the anxiety that hounds that hearts and minds of people all around us. We ourselves often face anxieties that we would rather not share with anyone else. While anxiety is mostly an internal issue, it does quickly show up on the expressions of our faces and in tone of our words. When we see some one struggling with anxiety, what is our response?

Throughout the pages of Scripture we find invitations to spiritual thirsty men and women. Jesus calls those who are dissatisfied with the endless emptiness of life to find total satisfaction in Him and the salvation He offers. Today, we will see that the final declarations from the throne of the risen King are for all who are thirsty to come and drink of the water of life freely.

Mankind deeply desires and seeks after peace. According to the Personal Journal, only eight percent of the time since the beginning of recorded history has the world been entirely at peace. In over 3,500 years, only 286 have been warless and 8,000 treaties have been broken during that time. The desire for peace in the hearts of man is intense. It will be what causes the world to accept the empty promises of the anti-christ to bring about peace in the world. In today’s beatitude, Christ challenges His disciples to strive to be peacemakers. His challenge is just as relevant to us today!
Matthew 5:9 Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called the children of God.

Matthew 5:8 Blessed are the pure in heart: for they shall see God.
This past week my mom had two cardiac arrests. My dad was quick to call the paramedics and begin CPR until they came. When they arrived, they administered the defibrillator six times before getting a pulse again. These were terrifying moments! While the doctors did their best to discover the cause of the cardiac arrest and the “death rhythm”, they could not. One of the doctors did say in a consultation that a virus could cause the heart to have rhythm issues. A virus is an infective agent that can do a lot of damage to one’s heart. We certainly see that the purity of our physical heart matters! As Jesus introduced His sermon on the mount, on the North West coast of the Sea of Galilee, He describes the attitudes and attributes that He desires for those of His Kingdom to develop. In a brief, concentrated statement, Jesus urged His disciples to develop the attribute of purity in their hearts. Through His Word, we will see that the purity of our spiritual heart matters to Jesus.

The soldiers who oversaw the crucifixion of Christ were accustom to the horrors of that style of execution. After Jesus was not the cross, the soldiers gathered and divided up His belongings by casting lots. How is it that in the shadow of such a gruesome execution these soldiers would be concerned with gaining the physical belongings of Christ? Let’s consider their view of the cross of Christ and our’s as well.

We are studying the introduction to the sermon on the mount commonly called the Beatitudes. The sermon will serve as a sort of constitution for His one-thousand year millennial kingdom as well as His present kingdom that is being set up in hearts of men and women who accept Him by faith for the salvation from the penalty of sin and eternal life. The Beatitudes are the attitudes Jesus calls those of His kingdom to develop in their daily life. Today we will see how Jesus calls us to have an attitude of mercy even toward those that have offended us.

Does defeat cause you to call out to God? If we are honest, it certainly does. We can identify with the individuals in Psalm 44. They were in the midst of defeat that prompted they to cry out to God. Interestingly, remembering the stories of God’s marvelous works, that their fathers communicated to them, inspired them to call out to God from the midst of their defeat. Tonight, we will observe how that fathers have a long-reaching impact on the faith of the next generation.

What are you hungry for? What cravings drive you? Is there a longing that seems to preoccupy your mind? Can you express in a word a desire that dominates your heart? There is so much that is trivial and temporary in life we can hunger after. Yet, Christ urges those of His kingdom to hunger and thirst after righteousness. We do well to pause and consider this simple yet powerful encouragement from our Savior’s heart.
Matthew 5:6 Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled.

Hebrews 11:6 But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.
God rewards those that seek Him diligently in faith. This is illustrated in a multitude of instances throughout the pages of Scripture. The little boy who gave his lunch to Jesus, the twelve disciples that left all their livelihoods to follow Jesus full time, blind Bartimaes who cried out for his sight, the one-hundred and twenty who gathered in the upper room waiting for the promise of the Holy Spirit, the group of believers, including teenagers, gathered in Rhoda’s home praying for Peter’s release, and many more illustrations could be listed. Tonight will focus in on a lady at the end of here physical and emotional resources who sought Jesus in faith and was rewarded in a God-sized way.

Matthew 5:5 Blessed are the meek: for they shall inherit the earth.
Jesus wants His followers to be different. Different from the rest of the world and different from man-centers religious traditions. He preach the sermon on the mount in an effort to announce a sort of constitution for His yet future millennial kingdom as well as the spiritual kingdom He was setting up in the hearts of those who would believe on Him. His message was counter-cultural and for growing believers, very challenging. He has called His disciples to develop an attitude of humility before God, brokenness over sin and now submission before God and gentleness toward their fellowman. This beatitude is rich with application and we will do well as we heed the voice of our Savior.

Happy are the unhappy. This beatitude presents such an enormous paradox! Does Jesus want his followers to go through life continuously sad? Does God delight in our tears? What about all the joy that Holy Spirit is to produce in us? Today we will discover that it is through total brokenness that we are called close to be encouraged and strengthened.

The first sermon that Jesus delivered is known as the sermon on the mount recorded in Matthew 5-7. He preached it to His disciples as well as others that had gathered. The primary audience was those who had believed on Him. The sermon served as instructions for how His own should live. In the first part of the sermon (Matthew 5:1-12) we find the beatitudes. These describe the attitudes followers of Christ should maintain. The emphasis of the beatitudes is that God blesses a life of inward character. Today we will learn that the life that God blesses is one of humility and surrender.

Israel had around 613 commands they were responsible to obey. It was customary in that day for there to be discussions about which commandment was the greatest or most important. One day, a certain scribe stepped away from a discussion about this to ask Jesus His opinion on the matter. Jesus said that loving God was the greatest command and loving your neighbor as yourself was second to it. Let’s give our heart to consider this command so that we can love as God wants us to and love inside out.

Jesus never intended the Christian life to be a schedule of empty religious ceremonies, a set of rituals and traditions, or an act we maintain. The Christian life is a relationship with Christ. If our hearts cannot be satisfied with Jesus, nothing else and no one else can. As water is to your thirsty body, so believing on Christ is to your spiritually thirsty soul. Do you remember the day you found Jesus to be the satisfaction of your soul? Jesus expects us to live out our relationship with Him in surrendered service in His name, the salvation of the lost, and the edification of the saints. He expects us to live inside out!

Transformation is a thorough and dramatic change. It requires an honesty about what is and what needs to be. In the transformation of an old home, there must be deconstruction so that there can be reconstruction. In the transformation of our lives, there must be the putting off of the old man and the putting on of the new man which is created in righteousness and true holiness. (Ephesians 4:24) Through an inspired letter, Paul called the believers at the church of Corinth to this kind of spiritual transformation. Through their example we are be reminded that God’s Word is for our transformation.

Can you imagine a world where every thought, every motivation, every desire was evil all day long? This is exactly the world in which Noah was living and leading his family. Despite the wickedness he decided to live righteously, blamelessly and walk with God. However, this did not mean that he and his family did not feel pain and struggle as result of the judgment that came upon the ungodly. Tonight, we will see how that God remembered Noah and his family and how He still cares for the righteous today. Psalm 5:12 For thou, Lord, wilt bless the righteous; With favour wilt thou compass him as with a shield.

Life can be complicated. It seems there are many big and little decisions that can radically change the outcome of one’s life. However, in reality, it is not that complex.
The world urges us to listen to its news anchors, its scholars and above all do not disregard “science.” In important life decisions, listen to friends and family and maybe a few co-workers too. Make sure that most of your counsel comes from those that are about the same age as you. The older generation just does not understand you.
God calls us to simply hear his voice, to be still and know that He is God assuring us that He will always be exalted above the heathen. God specifically revealed His Word giving mankind all that is needed relating to life’s decisions and to godly living. The person who delights and meditates in God’s Word will abundantly thrive even in the midst difficulty. While those who refuse it will experience total ruin. Truly, the decision to delight in Word of God is life-changing.

Jude wrote to believers who were experiencing the pressure from within and without to compromise Christian doctrine. There is nothing new. God’s truth has always been questioned beginning in the Garden of Eden. However, throughout the Bible, God’s people have been reminded of their personal responsibility to cultivate their own relationship with God regardless of the pressures around us. (John 21:20–22, 2 Timothy 3:12–14, Jude 20–21) One of satan’s most devious tricks is to get us to focus horizontally rather than vertically. As we finish this year and enter the next, let us again be reminded that Jesus is the one is able to keep us and worthy of our adoration.

Today, we will see the response of those who were present that night and allow their example to stir our hearts.

Matthew introduces us to some Christmas characters who were wealthy, wise men. They were foreign dignitaries whose profession was to provide insight and counsel to royalty based in part on their study of the stars. Similar to the experience of Daniel, these men would have known the opulence of being in the presence of a king. However, neither wealth nor wisdom had been able to satisfy the deepest cravings of their hearts. Today we will see how they found hope in Jesus Himself.

1 Timothy 1:1 Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ by the commandment of God our Saviour, and Lord Jesus Christ, which is our hope;
There are many intriguing characters that play a part in the Biblical narrative of Christ’s birth. Most of them were very common, unpopular and even hurting people. Whether it was the poor shepherds, the longing Simeon or the lonely Anna, the mere sight of Jesus as a baby brought great hope to their hearts. Hope because God’s promise of a Messiah had indeed come true. Hope because Jesus Himself is hope. Today, we will look at the only three verses in the Bible concerning Anna and see how Jesus is hope for the lonely who have suffered loss. Do you know someone like Anna? Can you identify with her? May her story encourage your heart and draw you toward Christ who is our hope.

Biblical hope is a confident expectation in the goodness, control and Word of God. We can only have confident expectation in someone or something that does not change. James 1:17 says, “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.” Hebrews 13:8 reminds us of the dependability of Christ, “Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and to day, and for ever.” Paul understood this and declared that Jesus was not just a giver of hope, but Jesus Himself was hope. “Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ by the commandment of God our Saviour, and Lord Jesus Christ, which is our hope;” (1 Timothy 1:1) No matter what we face in life personally, as a family, as a church family or as a nation, Jesus is hope. Today we will see how that Jesus is hope in a world filled with darkness.

Christmas is the time that we celebrate Jesus taking on human flesh. He truly was the God-man. He was born of a virgin and was not tainted with the curse of sin. He was perfectly holy! What a wonder His birth was (Luke 2:16). The next time we see Jesus is at the age of twelve when He was in the temple listening to and asking questions of Rabbis (Luke 2:46). Then we see Him at His baptism at the age of thirty (Luke 3:21-23). What was Jesus doing during those eighteen years?

We have all heard it said of the Christmas, “It is the most wonderful time of the year." If we could see behind the wreath decorated doors, the glistening trees in the front room windows and the beautifully wrapped gifts awaiting Christmas morning, a different perspective would likely be gained. We might find a middle age lady weeping over the betrayal of a broken relationship, a young man who has experienced yet another set back, a father full of worry because he can’t pay the bills yet again, a senior citizen struggling with depression or a young boy feeling rejection and worthlessness after his dad didn’t show up yet again. All around us, people are experiencing the hardness of life and often times the holidays accentuate that hardness. Is there hope? Is there help? Is there something you can do?

God calls on His children to be different. Our world is full of darkness, but in Christ we are light and we must determine to live as light. In this season of Thanksgiving, we have the incredible opportunity to truly be different and shine our light by being thankful.
Ephesians 5:8 For ye were sometimes darkness, but now are ye light in the Lord: walk as children of light.
Matthew 5:16 Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven.

God and the communication His Word cannot be not compartmentalized. God is interested in all area and arenas of our living—private, public, church, work, community and government. Romans 11:3 says, “For of him, and through him, and to him, are all things: to whom be glory for ever. Amen.” Proverbs 3:6 reminds us, "In all thy ways acknowledge him, And he shall direct thy paths.” As we approach another day in the life of our nation when we will choose rulers over us, we should remember that those who rule over us are a reflection of us. Throughout Biblical history, God commanded that the judges set over His people would be righteous (Ezra 7:25). According to Amos 5:13 unrighteous judges diminish the voices of the righteous. Today we will see from Isaiah’s prophecy how that judges directly affect the righteousness of a nation.

A true friend is the one who walks in when others walk out. —Unknown
Jesus, the Son of God, came into the world to serve the greatest need of humanity. “For even the Son of man came not to be ministered unto, but to minister, and to give his life a ransom for many.” (Mark 10:45) Through His life and ministry on earth, He consistently demonstrated His loyal love and true friendship by serving both people’s temporal physical needs and their eternal spiritual needs. In today’s narrative, we find Jesus on His way to Jerusalem. There He would willingly lay down His life as the full payment for all the sins of all mankind that God required. This would be the most extravagant demonstration of love and friendship the world would ever see. Yet on His way, Jesus took time to be a true friend to one blind man and gave him back his sight. He had a need that only Jesus could have met and when Jesus did, Bartimaeus followed Jesus. May this be our story as well.

2 Corinthians 2:14 Now thanks be unto God, which always causeth us to triumph in Christ, and maketh manifest the savour of his knowledge by us in every place.
The church at Philippi was passionate about helping Paul spread the message of the Gospel into other cities in their region. The truth of the Gospel had triumph in their lives and they wanted the same for others. When Paul wrote his letter to them, he commended them for their sacrificial generosity. It was their financial investment in work of the Lord through Paul that had enabled the Gospel message to be preached in Thessalonica and many other cities. Today we will discover what happens with churches and believers like us invest in missions.

Note — “After these things” formally began the solemn marches in the direction of Jerusalem, which ended, as we have stated, in the last Passover. Roughly speaking, the seventy were first sent out about the October of the last year of the public ministry.
There were many towns and villages that Jesus planned to engage and need the help of the seventy to prepare His way. They were acting as a sort of front team. Jesus was very specific how He expected these missionaries to go ahead of Him and prepare the way. Let’s notice how they were to approach this specific missions trip?

Jesus prepared the seventy missionaries that he had specifically called and assigned to specific places. He instructed them that as they were praying for more laborers to join in His mission, they were indeed to go forth at His command. They needed understand that obedience to this command would require them to leave their comfort zones and trust in Christ’s care. As we pray for more laborers, may we be willing to go and leave our comfort zones trusting fully in the care of our Savior.

Paul is in the middle of his third missionary journey. He has just left places like Ephesus and Smyrna. God had been at work in major ways. In fact, every where that Paul preached the truth of the Gospel, it triumphed in lives. As Paul came into the city of Troas, he could not help but remember how God had specifically directed him through a vision to continue on to Macedonia. He had not had time to preach the Gospel in Troas, but as he did, it was clear that God had opened the hearts of the townspeople. Many were believing on Christ and a church was planted. He stayed and preached even though he had a nagging worry in his heart. He had written a heavy letter to the dear believers in Corinth addressing the sin of division and fornication in the church. He wanted to know how those who were addressed had responded. Titus was supposed to have met him in Troas with the report, but Titus was no where to be found. Paul journeyed on to Macedonia and finally found Titus. After Paul heard Titus’ report, he wrote a second letter to the Corinthians. While he needed to clarify a few misconceptions, Paul did rejoice in how God was extending the triumph of Christ in every place God sent Paul. As we begin our Mission Weeks, let’s see how Christ desires to do the same through our lives in every place.

In the context of the high cost of discipleship, Jesus selects and sends seventy of His followers into every city and place that He planned to go personally. Their mission was to preach of the Savior and urge men to turn to Him. Jesus gave them instructions and then sent them out in teams of two to accomplish the work. From this passage of Scripture, we catch the heart of our Savior work yet to be accomplished in the harvest fields of the world as well as the laborer shortage. As we enter Mission Weeks here at Grace Baptist Church, we want to continue to place priority on what Christ gave to those disciples as the solution to this great need—pray. Tonight, we will begin our Mission Prayer Band considering the heart and prayer of Christ and then pray for a specific nation together.

In chains, Paul declared his testimony of faith in Jesus Christ of Nazareth as he stood on the stairway of the Fortress Antonia with soldiers posted around him. His Jewish audience listened in silence as he spoke to them in Aramaic until he demonstrated affinity toward the Gentiles. Immediately, a great disturbance broke out again. This kind was the kind of uprising that the Chief Captain, Claudius Lysias, was responsible to crush. In order to do so, he needed to know what kind of criminal would cause such a disruption of the peace. As Paul faced a torturous interrogation, he announced his Roman citizenship. This allowed for Paul to eventually take the Gospel to Rome and to Caesars household. Like Paul, we too should use the freedoms of our citizenship to serve our Savior and not self.

The book of James was penned under inspiration of the Holy Spirit through by Pastor James, the half-brother of Jesus Christ. As the pastor of the Church at Jerusalem, he was influential in the lives and faith of the Jewish believers that had been scattered abroad due to intense persecution. The main point of this book was to address the issue of faith and works. The main take away from this important, practical book is that true faith works. The theme was not so much faith and works, but faith that works. It is fitting that the conclusion all the differing admonition concerning faith should be a call to simple faith-filled prayer. James use the Old Testament example of Elijah as a relatable illustration about the incredible impact of prayer offered by a normal man who believed God. We should be encouraged that we have the same opportunity to see God work wonders through the fervent prayer of believers just like you.

The grace of God enabled Paul to show deference toward His fellow Jewish believers who had a differing perspective as well as maintain composure in the face of the beating and persecution from the unbelieving Jews from Asia in the Temple. His composure in the midst of chaos opened up a God-sized opportunity to be share his story of salvation in Jesus Christ. We can all learn from Paul’s example to allow the grace of God to be upon us so that we are ready at any time, good or bad, to share our story of how we met Jesus.
Acts 1:8 But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth.
A witness is someone who sees an event and reports what happened.

Paul arrived in Jerusalem to deliver a love offering for the suffering Jewish believers and for a celebration of Pentecost. It had been 20 years since the first Pentecost. No doubt Paul was anticipating the celebration and how he would recount to the church all that God had done throughout the world! The Gospel has touched both the Jew and the Greek. How big is God?! However, the warm welcome he received on day one cooled a bit as Paul met with Pastor James and the other pastors. He quickly discovered that his presence was going to create a stir in Jerusalem and the church leadership was nervous. Let’s observe the Paul’s choices in the midst of the challenges he faced.

Imagine being in a trial so deep that even the remembrance of God was troubling. That is where Asaph was! The turbulence around him had become trouble inside his heart causing him not to sleep and even to question God and His goodness. However, everything changed when Asaph came to a point of surrender. This personal prayer of Asaph's is a much needed encouragement for every child of God today.

Self-preservation is a natural human response in the face of danger, adversity, and struggle. When we observe a life that is totally abandoned to a cause no matter the personal cost, it causes us to marvel. Paul pressed fervently forward in faith and to the finish undeterred by the pleadings of those who loved him. Paul truly loved Christ more than his own life. He provides for us an example of living a life with no self-preservation.
Matthew 10:37–38 He that loveth father or mother more than me is not worthy of me: and he that loveth son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me. 38 And he that taketh not his cross, and followeth after me, is not worthy of me.

On his way to Jerusalem to celebrate Pentecost with the believers there, Paul had a voyage layover in Miletus. He summoned the Ephesian pastors to travel the thirty miles south to Miletus so that he could encourage them in the ministry. Paul knew that the best way to encourage the Ephesian believers in their faith was to encourage their pastors. He provided an excellent example of the importance of leading leaders. As their time came to a sorrowful close, Paul turned from the subject of his ministry philosophy and his own ministry path forward to a specific message for the Ephesian pastors. The points of this admonition are both relevant and vital for pastors and disciples alike today. Let’s be good students as we study this God inspired message that Paul delivered to the pastors of Ephesus.

Paul was in the final stretch of his third missions tour. As usual, this tour was about church planting and discipleship of the new believers and leaders. The Holy Spirit had prompted him that it was time to return to Jerusalem. Paul was diligently obeying these promptings, traveling toward Jerusalem as quickly as he could. During one of the voyage layovers in a town called Miletus, Paul planned a pastors conference with the pastors from the assemblies in Ephesus. Because this would be the last time they would see one another on earth, Paul poured out his heart rehearsing his personal ministry philosophy and his ministry path forward. As we tune into this conference today, may we catch the heart of the Apostle Paul for the local church and its leaders as well as grow in our commitment to our local church.

Spiritual trials in the lives of others can dishearten us in the way. Paul was concerned for the Ephesian believers becoming disheartened because of his sufferings. Paul was in prison hundreds of miles away from these precious saints. How could he be of any encouragement to them? Paul chose to pray.
Context
- Paul is in prison. (Ephesians 3:1)
- Paul was explaining parenthetical Church Age (Ephesians 3:6)
- There was a potential that the Ephesian church would be dishearten by the news of Paul’s suffering. (Ephesians 3:13)
- Paul was about to practically apply the doctrine of chapters 1-3.
(Ephesians 4:1)

God had powerfully worked in the city of Ephesus. Many had received Christ and had made decisions to make a clean separation from ungodliness in their personal lives. Their choices effectively impacted the economy of idol sales, the worship of the goddess Artemis as well as the local officials of the city. The power of Christ to change lives was clearly seen, but not liked by all. Following a great uproar in the Theatre along with God’s providential deliverance, Paul purposefully determined that he would travel to Macedonia to carry on the work of discipleship there. Along the way, men that he had led to faith in Jesus Christ accompanied him and helped him in the work of the ministry. In every place, Paul communicated the Word of God and exhorted the disciples of Christ. Like Paul, we need to be committed to being a disciple and making disciples
Disciple: A disciple is a committed follower of Jesus Christ. One who loves Christ so much that he has forsaken all to follow Christ.
Luke 14:33 So likewise, whosoever he be of you that forsaketh not all that he hath, he cannot be my disciple.

During his third missions tour, Paul served Christ in the commercial seaport City of Ephesus. That season of ministry among the Jews and the Gentiles was marked with the demonstration of the power of God’s Word. As Paul preached, both the hearts of the religious and the heathen were changed and many received Christ by faith. The effects of the ministry there reverberated throughout all of Asia. The new believers in Jesus Christ were determined in their commitment as followers of Jesus Christ. They wholeheartedly separated themselves from their old sinful lifestyles so much so that it literally impacted the economy. The idol shops were on the verge of going out of business and the Temple of Artemas was losing worshippers. It is exciting to see how that God’s Word had the power to change culture. It is even more exciting to realize that God’s Word has not lost its power!

Jamie Jett shares a personal story of trial, perspective on sin and helpful encouragement on what to do when we sin as a child of God from Psalm 38.
David was under a burden that was very deep and difficult. His son Absalom had betrayed him as well as swaying one of David’s dear friends to his side. His life is turned upside down, yet in the midst of this distressing burden, David turned to God for relief. We should as well.

Paul gives a powerful summary of practical instruction for the assemblies on the island of Crete. Titus had been left in Crete to set in order the things that were lacking in the church. This was a huge, spiritual project of developing health in the believers there. The letter that Paul wrote to Titus, as his son in the faith, would be of great help in bringing health to the church. As we conclude this short but powerful letter, may we receive these final thoughts and apply them into our personal lives so that we too can be a health church.

John 18:38 Pilate saith unto him, What is truth? And when he had said this, he went out again unto the Jews, and saith unto them, I find in him no fault at all.
The people of Ephesus were no different than we are today. It was a wealthy, immoral, pluralistic culture that diligently sought the best life for themselves. They found some form of solace in the worship of their many gods. However, even in the midst of standing up for the worship of their gods, they found themselves full of confusion (32). When Paul arrived, he began to preach Jesus Christ as the only way to have forgiveness and eternal life. The truth of Jesus Christ triumphed over the falsehoods that has shackled Ephesus in spiritual bondage. While this caused a city-wide commotion, it must be observed that God confirmed His truth before a wicked culture and still does.

The fundamental need of every person in America is Jesus Christ. One to the hindrances to the spread of the Good News of Jesus Christ is religion itself. Religion is a man made system of meriting the favor of God or gods. There is an estimated 4,200 different religions in the world today. Many find a false sense of security in a religious tradition, ritual or experience. Such was the case in Ephesus. In our passage today, Paul providentially met and struck up a conversation with twelve devoutly religious men in that city who had some misunderstandings concerning their need. As Paul shared the truth of Jesus Christ, they realized their true need and received Christ. Paul continued to spread the word of the Lord Jesus with great effectiveness in spite of the opposition. In this day, we must remember that God’s Word works!

Jonah was a God called prophet. One who God tasked with delivering truth to the wicked people of Nineveh. This was a very difficult assignment because the Ninevites were the enemies of God’s people. So rather than obeying God, Jonah ran from God. We often focus on Jonah’s disobedience at the beginning of the book and his bad attitude at the end of the book, however, tonight we will focus in the middle of the book. There we find a wonderful prayer that God heard! We should pause and consider how that God seized the attention of this wayward prophet and then mercifully heard and answered his prayer. Our God is still merciful and He still hears prayer!

The birth and building of a church, the body of Christ in a locality, in the midst of a wicked and perverse world is nothing short of a miracle —a triumph. Humanly, this is impossible and overwhelming! However, to Christ, it is just what He does. We should remember the promise of Christ, “Upon this rock, I will build my church and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.” (Matthew 16:18) In the final stretch of Paul’s second missionary tour, the triumphs of Christ are witnessed as He nourishes His church through the ministry of Paul, Aquila, Priscilla and Apollos. It is a wonderful, reassuring record of the love and care of our Savior for His body. What is more encouraging is that He has not ceased to love and care for His body, even us.

You are no stranger to this. The world is constantly calling for attention. Other Christians are constantly calling for our attention. There are only so many ways that we can divide our attention. Colossians 3:1 If ye then be risen with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ sitteth on the right hand of God. Let's give attention to the focus of a healthy church.

Saul was a vehement enemy of Jesus Christ who vigorously persecuted those of “The Way.” He consented to the death of Stephen, the first martyr of the church. Jesus revealed Himself suddenly to Saul when he was on his way to arrest the Christ’s followers in Damascus. That day he believed on Christ and he was never the same! In fact, he changed his name to Paul. Jesus specifically sent him to the Gentiles as His witness. It is amazing to follow the life of Paul through the pages of Scripture. Beginning in Acts nine all the way to Acts eighteen, the triumphs of Christ are clearly seen in the life of Paul. Jesus changed him from a persecutor of the church to a preacher of Christ. Amazing! It was just thirteen years after believing on Christ that Paul boldly preached the Gospel in Corinth. It was a city known for its sinful practices, yet the open doors for the Gospel were many. Let’s learn all that we can from Paul’s life and ministry in the city of Corinth on his second missionary tour.

There is great interest in the final moments of a persons life. They give great insight into what was important to them. The last moments of Jesus on the cross help us to understand what mattered to Him. Immediately following hearing and answering the prayer of one of the thieves and baring the sins of all mankind, Jesus cried out to His Father. The final moments and prayer of our Lord are rich with application for our lives as His followers.

Many boast of winning. Even now, many running for political office will boast of who they are conquering in the polls. Men will boast of what they have overcome. Trophies are given to acknowledge great victory. However, no one except for Jesus Christ can say, “I conquered death.” His amazing triumph provides us with the ability to triumph over every sin and obstacle that hinders us from fully obeying the will and Word of Christ. Today, we will see how this applies to the matter of forgiveness.

One week before Jesus would conquer sin, death and hell through His bodily resurrection from the dead, He rode into Jerusalem on the colt of a donkey. This was the official presentation of Christ as the son of David. While Israel was longing for a conquering King to free them from the tyranny of Rome, Jesus presented Himself as one bringing peace. They did not realize that He was about to provide them eternal freedom from the tyranny of satan. Today we will consider the significance of the triumphal entry of Jesus Christ into Jerusalem and how it should impact us today.

Jesus had led His disciples to the spiritual understanding that He was the Christ, promised to build His church, declared His own sacrifice and invited His disciples to follow Him in sacrifice. Eight days later, Jesus took three of His disciples up into a mountain for prayer. While they were there and Jesus gave Himself to earnest prayer, Jesus was changed. He had a conversation with two notable Old Testament saints. This experience was so powerful, that one of the disciples asked if they could permanently remain there. God responded with an exhortation that we still do well to hear and practice.

Gideon lived in the time period in Israel’s history of Judges. Judges were God called deliverers. When Israel would sin and worship other gods, God would all them to fall into the bondage and captivity of their enemies. As His people would humble themselves, turn from their wicked ways and seek the face of God, God would send a judge or deliverer. Gideon was the sixth Judge of Israel and would deliver them out of bondage to the Midianites. However, the victory that Gideon experienced would not be one that he could claim, all the glory belonged to God. Gideon’s life and the way that God used him reminds us that conquering is really not about us, but all about God.

Our lives either influence others toward Christ or away from Christ. We desire to influence others toward Christ, yet too often try to do so in their own wisdom and strength. Jesus modeled ministry that flowed out of prayerfulness. Jesus told us that “…without me, ye can do nothing.” Without Him we cannot discern the spiritual needs of others nor can we meet those spiritual needs influencing them toward Christ. Let’s learn from the pattern of Christ before He helped His disciples to take another spiritual step of growth.

Jesus is in the court of the Gentiles. He often would go there to preach and to teach. On one particular day during the passover festivities, Jesus sat down and observed those who gave freewill offerings into the trumpet shaped offering receptacles. Jerusalem was buzzing with a swelling population of worshipers, many of whom would participate in giving. However, one caught the attention and commendation of Christ. We do well to emulate her!

Titus was told to hold fast the faithful Word. As he did, he was to deal with the rebels, restore those that were repentant and have a right perspective about those that were reprobate. However, that was not the end of the ministry of the Word for him. He was to take the Word he was holding fast and standing firm upon and connected to the living of God’s people. The Cretian believers had a problem with living out the Word of God in their daily living.
Quote: He was to close the awful chasm between the lips of God’s people and their lives. —McDonald

When trials and afflictions come into our lives, we often pray that God will remove them. Why? Because we feel that they limit us from reaching our potential. The great Apostle Paul faced this. He agonized in prayer that God would remove the affliction out of his life so that he could serve God. Through prayer, God revealed to Paul that it was the affliction that enabled God’s power to be fully manifested through his life. Through prayer, Paul went from begging God to remove the affliction to praising God for the affliction.

God is infinite and omnipresent! He cannot put in a box and He does not exist inside a building. He is everywhere at all times. However, God chose to presence Himself among His people in a place called the Tabernacle. While Moses had spent forty days with God on Mount Sinai, along with the Ten Commandments, God had given Moses the specific vision for building a ‘dwelling place’ for the presence of God among the people of God. As soon as Moses returned from meeting with God, he delivered the vision to God’s people and gave them an opportunity to participate in it. Though they were in the midst of the wilderness with limited resources, God would provide through them more than enough to fulfill the vision. May we remember that we serve the same God.

Jesus was in the midst of a very chaotic time in His ministry. As at other times, He deliberately took time to pray and gain clarity for the future. May we do the same this week.
1 Timothy 1:16 Howbeit for this cause I obtained mercy, that in me first Jesus Christ might shew forth all longsuffering, for a pattern to them which should hereafter believe on him to life everlasting.
Hebrews 4:15 For we have not an high priest which cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities; but was in all points tempted like as we are, yet without sin.

We are conquerors through Christ over every sin and obstacle that hinders us from fully obeying the Word and will of Christ. Often times we fixate on the sin or the obstacle in hopes of conquering them. This is a faulty fixation. Our focus must be set on God Himself. Let's learn this from the life of Nehemiah.

The context of Psalm 51 is that David had committed adultery with Bathsheba and then murdered her husband, Uriah, via a military command. He tried to hide it for months, but the truth came out because of Bathsheba’s pregnancy and the confrontation by the man of God. As David response to the chastening of God, we find him returning to God and desiring with all his heart to be right with God. He sees his God as perfectly holy, yet enduringly merciful. David understands that he had sinned and was no longer looking for ways to hide it or to downplay it. He just wanted to be right…he wanted to be revived.

God had miraculously brought the children of Israel out of oppressive bondage in the land of Egypt by His mighty power. Ten times, God proved His all powerful authority to Pharaoh and the Egyptian nation. As God led them out through His servant Moses, He again demonstrated His mighty power by parting the Red Sea and making a way for Israel to escape the terror of the Egyptian military. God revealed His law to them at Mount Sinai all the while providing for their every need. They are now at the border Canaan, the land God had promised to Abraham about seven hundred years before. The inhabitants of the land were exceedingly wicked and had rejected the mercy of God for the past four hundred years. The time has finally come God to bring judgement upon the inhabitants as well as grant Israel the land He had promised to them. While the land had yet to be conquered, Canaan, with all of its resources, was a demonstration of God’s abundant provision and care for His people. Israel now faced a decision at Kadesh-Barnea. Would they go forward believing God or shrink back in unbelief?

We all go through seasons where our faith or confidence in Christ and His power is tested. While the book of James encourages us to embrace these trials with joy because of the outcome—increased spiritual endurance. However, many times we struggle to view these seasons positively. In order to help our perspective, let’s consider the interaction between Christ and Peter before he faced a trial of faith and be encouraged by Christ’s faithful intercession on Peter’s behalf.

The sermon on the Mount preached by Christ provides a constitution for the Kingdom of God. This will be experienced physically in the Millennium, but is to be experienced spiritually now in the hearts and lives of every believer. Christ teaches on the believers attitude, witness, responses, temptation, marriage and divorce, oaths, forgiveness, enemies, giving, prayer, fasting, investing eternally, worry, judging, expectant prayer, one way to heaven, false teacher and the sure foundation of Christ and His Word. Right in the middle of this message, Jesus instructs His disciples concerning finances and worry. He teaches them that if they would put God first, God would take care of their material needs.

When preparing Moses for greater usefulness, God told him to throw down his rod. It turned into a venemous snake. As Moses fled, God commanded him to pick up the snake in an unconventional way. As Moses did, God turned the snake into a rod again. This rod would become a centerpiece of Moses' ministry and an visible token of the power of God.

God used the church of Philippi to meet the needs of the saints as well as the furtherance of the Gospel. In the second letter to the Corinthians, the Philippians along with the other churches in their region had given sacrificially to help the believers in Judea that we facing extreme persecution. In the epistle to the Philippians, Paul emphasizes that they had fellowship with him in the Gospel from the first day that they had received Christ. Their hearts were involved completely, and so their finances were invested generously. They gave not just once to the Gospel ministry of Paul, but gave a second time. Their first gift enabled Paul to set aside bi-vocational ministry and minister full-time in Corinth. Many times concern, worry, anxiety over finances becomes an obstacle from us fully obeying the will and Word of Christ. Let’s learn from the Philippians to be conquerors in our stewardship through Christ.

I am excited for this new year! The Holy Spirit reminds us through the Apostle Paul in Romans 8:37 that “…we are more than conquerors through Him that loved us.” We are conquerors through Christ over any sin or obstacle that hinders us from fully obeying the Word and will of Christ in our lives. We are not laboring to become conquerors, were are laboring as conquerors. We must simply claim Christ’s victory by faith.
God has impressed upon my heart several areas that we as a church family should focus on and claim Christ’s victory. As we discover these together, would you prayerfully join me in faith? More than anything, I want to be a disciple of Christ leading disciples of Christ to be conquerors through Christ. Conquerors over fear, unbelief, fruitlessness, anger, gossip, anxiety, division, prejudice, lukewarmness, the fear or man and spiritual attack.
Would you take this Vision Guide and make it a prayer list for yourself and our church family. Without prayer there is no movement. Why? Because prayer is a declaration of our dependence upon Jesus, the conqueror. Over and over Jesus modeled this for us. Before any major advance in His earthly ministry He would give Himself to serious prayer. As we lean on God in prayer, I believe that we will experience being Conquerors through Christ.
Our goal for 2022
To radically increase our understanding and experience of conquering through Christ over sin and every obstacle that hinders us from obeying the Wor

Like you, Paul struggles with his flesh daily yet has a burning desire for victory. As he realized that key to his struggle was the victory Christ already won over sin, death and hell, his heart ignited with the glorious reality that he faced no condemnation before God because he was in Christ. The indwelling Spirit of Christ empowered him to personally experience Christ’s victory over his flesh. The Spirit assured Paul of his position as a child of God and that he could go to his Father with all of his burdens, struggles and needs. The Spirit would even intercede for him when he is incapable of expressing the desire of his hearts. All of this was true because Jesus came and fully conquered sin, death and hell for him. In Christ, Paul was more than a conqueror. What Paul discovered is our reality too!
It is in this context that Paul declares we know something!
Romans 8:28 And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.

The good news of Jesus Christ’s birth was not first given to the religious leaders of the day. God saw fit to announce the birth of the Messiah to humble, hard-working, receptive shepherds. Mothers in that day did not dream of their sons growing up and becoming shepherds. It was not a notable profession! However, it was to these socially disregarded individuals that God announced the good news of comfort and joy the night Jesus was born.

When Jesus came to earth the first time, He came in the midst of uncertain times politically, financially and religiously. Yet, that night He brought true comfort and joy! The angels announced His birth as tidings that would bring great joy. These were joyful tidings because Jesus was not just another man, but the promised Savior, helper, comforter of all men. “And the angel said unto them, Fear not: for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people. 11 For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord.” (Luke 2:10-11) Let’s discover Jesus as our comfort and joy even in uncertain times.

Paul has been working bi-vocationally in the city of Corinth. During the week he was making tents with Aquila and Priscilla and on Saturday he was striking up conversations at the synagogue concerning Jesus Christ. He was planting seeds of the Gospel. When his coworkers arrived with much needed physical, spiritual and financial help, Paul was enabled to completely focus on preaching the Gospel of Jesus Christ. This brought on much fear and opposition, but with fresh vision from God, Paul was encourage and embraced God’s instruction wholeheartedly. As he did, God fulfilled His revealed promise. As we study this passage, may we see how that Paul’s experience can be ours as well in our community during this season.

After strongly encouraging Timothy, Paul testifies of how he is ready to die and meet Jesus face to face. His testimony is strong and bold. It is not stated in arrogance but in confidence of having obeyed the promptings of the Holy Spirit of God throughout his Christian journey. Paul looked forward to being rewarded with the crown of righteousness. Like Paul, we should strive to be ready to meet our Savior.

Paul left Athens to continue his second missionary tour. He left behind several believers who turned to Christ from the rampant idolatry of Athens. He journeyed on his own some fifty miles to Corinth, the capital city of Achaia. The wickedness of Corinth cannot be overstated. Yet Paul would spend eighteen months there faithfully laboring bi-vocationally to win the Corinthians to Jesus Christ. While in Corinth, God blessed Paul with two lifetime friends, who would become helpers in Christ, as well as reuniting him with Timotheus and Silas.

Timothy was ministering in a time when people would not want to hear the truth. They would rejected truth and seek out teachers who made them comfortable in their own unbridled lusts. They would avoid anything that reminded them of the truth and fully embrace falsehoods. What was Timothy to do in the face of this culture and the looming death of the Apostle?

When Paul came to Athens, there was no group of believers. There was no followers of Christ in his age group to fellowship with. There was no church assembling in a home or building in town to sing praises to Christ and grow in His grace. There was no Wednesday children’s Bible club, youth group or nursery. There was no pastor faithfully preaching the Word and caring for people. It was a dark, idolatrous city that had great influence in the Greek world. It was filled to the brim with the worship of every god but God. Paul’s actions give us a pattern for engaging a pagan society.

Can you imagine how awesome it must have been to hear Jesus preach? One of His most well known sermons is called “The Sermon on the Mount.” He began it by addressing essential matters of the heart. While this sermon would serve as a type of constitution for His coming kingdom, it did explain the kind of rulership that Jesus wanted to develop in the hearts of His followers. The first twelve verses of the sermon dealt with such matters humility, purity, spiritual hunger and handling persecution. What Jesus desired to develop within the hearts of His disciples, He also expected to be demonstrated in the habits of His disciples. This was His focus as He communicated to them that they were both salt and light in the world. This message is wildly important for every follower of Christ today.

King Solomon was a man who had experienced all that life had to offer. In all of his experiences, he discovered so much disappointment at the emptiness and frustration of life. As the richest, most powerful and most envied man on earth in his day, described life as completely empty and intensely frustrating.
In Ecclesiastes, we find Solomon viewing his life from the vantage point of old age and mortality. As he concluded chapter six, he asked himself how man can be better amid all the emptiness of life. How can man know what is good in this life?
At this point, Solomon pens sound advice for life under the sun. Ultimately he concludes with, “Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear God, and keep his commandments: for this is the whole duty of man.” (Ecclesiastes 12:13)

In Matthew 11, Jesus has confronted both a restless generation and their resulting great rejection. They had rejected the preaching of John the Baptist and the person of Christ the Messiah. Jesus pled with the gathered crowd to hear His message and invited them to himself with seventeen wonderful words. “Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.” He promised rest to all those who would come to Him, acknowledging their exhausting labor to be good enough for God and the burden of their own sinfulness. Those who would respond in faith to His invitation would receive the rest of Christ’s eternal salvation. It does not end there! Jesus goes on to describe how those who have received His salvation can experience rest with Him throughout their daily lives no matter what is happening. This He does with two commands and a promise.

Paul wanted Timothy to continue on and endure and so he described the work of those that had a form of godliness while denying God’s power. He contrasted their work with what Timothy had personally observed in his life and ministry. Paul then encouraged Timothy not to give up for to continue in all that he had learned from both his mentors and more importantly, the Word of God.

John the Baptist was in prison. He had preached and prepared the way for Jesus Christ as he had been called of God to do. When he first saw Christ, he declared publicly, "Behold the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world.” (John 1:29) However, as he sat in prison awaiting execution, he began to wonder if his preaching had been in vain. John sent two of his followers with a question for Jesus. “Art thou he that should come, or do we look for another?” Jesus graciously responded to John’s question with a message highlighting the visible proofs of His deity—His mighty works. As the followers of John returned with this message, Jesus began to preach a sermon to the Galilean crowd that had been overhearing this interaction. He challenged the crowd about the person and message of John the Baptist and why they had not accepted it. Jesus then declared a message to that audience that still rings true for us today. He began with a plea for people to have ears to hear and concludes it with an invitation that everyone should accept.
Matthew 11:15 He that hath ears to hear, let him hear.

Jesus has come through the rigorous temptation by satan himself and been strengthened by angels. He has called Peter, James, John and Andrew to be His disciples and has begun His formal earthly ministry. Masses of people were amazed and attracted by the miracles He performed while not receiving the message He preached. After a particularly hectic day, we find Jesus getting alone with His Father for direction. What we will learn together from this day with Jesus will transform us. If we will embrace the example of Christ, it will enable us to stop being driven by the demands of life and start being directed by will and priority of God.

An overview of Isaiah
"The whole story of the prophet Isaiah, as it is revealed to us in this one book, is that of a man who spoke to an inattentive age or to an age which, if attentive, mocked him and refused to obey his message, until, as the prophetic period drew to a close, he inquired in anguish, ‘Who has believed our report? And to whom has the arm of the Lord been revealed?’ (Isa 53:1)" —G. Campbell Morgan
"We see Isaiah move with fearless dignity through the chaos of his day, firm in his quiet faith, sure in his God." — E. M. Blaiklock

Paul has been encouraging Timothy to endure hardness as a good soldier of Jesus Christ. In these verses, we learn what should be the attitude, activity and anticipation of the Lord’s servant when facing opposition.

After comforting the new believers in Philippi, Paul and Silas move onto new mission fields with the Good News of Christ. Likely, Luke and Timothy remained in Philippi to continue ministering to the young church plant. Paul and Silas passed through two Macedonian cities before halting in Thessalonica. As they preached in the synogogue, many turned to Christ by faith causing envious, non-believing Jews to rise up in opposition. They were accused of turning the world upside down with their preaching of Christ. The new believers rushed Paul and Silas out of town and they arrived at Berea. Immediately, Paul found the hearts of the people to be ready to receive the preaching of the Word of God concerning Jesus as the Messiah. At some point while Paul was ministering there, Timothy seems to have rejoined Paul and Silas likely bearing a second love offering (Philippians 4:15-16) from the Philippian believers. This was given to meet Paul’s needs he had incurred while ministering in Thessalonica (1 Thessalonians 2:19). It was not long until the same envious, non-believing Jews travelled from Thessalonica to stir up the city of Berea against Paul and his preaching. He was once again escorted out of town by committed brethren and arrived in Athens to continue preaching Jesus Christ.
Acts 17:6 These that have turned the world upside down are come hither also;

Paul has been encouraging Timothy to endure hardness as a good soldier of Jesus Christ. In these verses, we learn that if we will endure for Jesus Christ, we must deal with some areas of our lives that could get overlooked.

Paul, Silas, Timothy and Luke are in Philippi, a colony of Rome. It was a city gripped by paganism, Emperor worship and satanic possession. Being a Roman military outpost, Roman Nationalism was entrenched in the culture of the city. Anything that opposed that would be rejected. The vibrant, distinct, bold presence and witness of followers of Christ would naturally contradict such a culture. Paul and his teammates would face severe and even unlawful persecution, however, Jesus would continue to build His church within Philippi. This narrative contains a vivid and needed reminders for every believer here today!

Jesus had given His disciples the general strategy (Acts 1:8) for taking the Good News of the Gospel to the whole world right before He returned to Heaven. Through the ministry of the Holy Spirit coupled with committed, leadable followers, He gave the specific direction for accomplishing this strategy. As we follow the life and ministry of the Apostle Paul in our passage, we will notice that he was led from his home church to regions that were unreached with the life-changing message of the Gospel. Paul, along with Silas, Timothy and Luke, truly exemplified leadable servants of Christ.
