False teachers were plaguing the early church by scoffing at the idea that Christ would return to judge the world. At the root of their mocking was the fact that they were living for their own sinful desires. To justify living in their sin, these false teachers scoffed at the thought that Jesus would return in power and glory. Peter wants to stir up in his readers, by way of reminder, that Christ is indeed coming back and they can stand firmly on the foundation of God’s Word. When scoffers come we need to remind ourselves of the truth of Scripture looking back to what God has done, realizing what God is doing, and look in faith to what God will do.

View Details

Having listed off the depravity of the False teachers, Peter now demonstrates how their calls to freedom actually lead to slavery. Claiming to be followers of Jesus, these false teachers and their empty words easily slide back into the muck and mire of sin. We need be aware of the danger of false teaching and it’s lure aware from God.

View Details

False teachers, and those who willfully follow them are driven by arrogance. We are warned here that they even go further than angels would dare to go, and refuse to be convinced of their error. The hope against this kind of presumptuous arrogant falsehood is submission to God’s truth… even if it is presented by a talking DONKEY!

View Details

While it may seem like the unrighteous are living lives with no consequences while the righteous suffer, Peter looks back through the scriptures to remind his audience that God will indeed judge the ungodly and He is faithful to rescue those who seek refuge in Him.

View Details

False teachers are subtle and very dangerous. They do not just bring destruction into their own lives, but they also destroy their followers. The cost of believing and following false teaching is just not worth it. Our hope is in the forgiveness of Christ and in following His Truth.

The revelation of truth in Christ is sure because of two undeniable tenets: 1. Eyewitnesses 2. The Prophecies of Christ.

View Details

As Peter looks unswervingly at the end of his life, he encourages his readers to live out eight qualities that will keep them from being ineffective in this life. You don’t know if you're remaining time is fifty years or a handful of years. Peter tells us how to make a difference in the time we have.

View Details

When you say you know God, are you saying you know of him or you know him intimately? When we have faith in Jesus, God bestows righteousness on us and we are holy in his sight, however, we are challenged to pursue holiness and righteousness in the sight of the world thereafter. For salvation sake, we are holy immediately upon faith. However, for the mission sake we must constantly and progressively allow God to refine us and make us more like him, more holy and more righteous. Lack of understanding of either righteousness (before God and before man) will lead to poor spending of the resources God has given us. Are you constantly striving to know God more intimately, to grow in holiness and righteousness all out of an understanding of your holiness before God because of your relationship with Jesus?

View Details

The apostle Peter was outspoken, brash and over-confident. But after he had failed our Lord Jesus Christ and received his forgiveness, he was transformed and never to be the same. Peter wrote his second letter shortly before his martyrdom to people who were facing opposition for their faith to encourage them that we in Christ are truly changed and, through his Spirit, able to live the life to which he has called us

View Details

David was a man after God’s own heart (1 Sam. 13:14). It is rather fitting then, that David’s final Psalm is not one of lament or concern, but a victorious song of praise. As followers of Christ, we recognize that storms will come but confidently assert that we are built upon the rock (Mt. 7:24), and consequently choose to worship him and thank him for his deliverance.

View Details

David was alone. His life was in great danger and his spirit weak. When we feel isolated and disconnected there is a great temptation to turn inward or to those things which only bring further pain. David chooses to trust in God in the moment: “With my voice I cry out to the LORD; with my voice I plead for mercy to the LORD” (Ps 142:1). Though we may feel abandoned by all others, we know he will never leave us or forsake us.

View Details

David was on the run. He is separated from fellow worshippers and the future is uncertain. In the midst of his trial, David turned to God for help and in faith looked forward to his deliverance. For the follower of Jesus Christ, even the most challenging of trials can be used of God to grow our confidence and trust in him. Instead of focusing on the trial itself, we set our eyes upon him and our future hope.

View Details

David sinned grievously. He had committed adultery with a woman named Bathsheba and then had her husband murdered. The prophet, Nathan, confronted David and rather than try to cover it up, David owned his sin and sought God’s forgiveness. When life is difficult, our first step should be to turn to the Lord, confess any sins, and seek the joy of our salvation once more.

Turn to God. Psalm 51:1-2
Own your sin. Psalm 51:3-6
Remember the gospel. Psalm 51:7-17 a. The gospel can remove guilt. Psalm 51:7-9 b. The gospel can restore relationship. Psalm 51:10-12 c. The gospel can give purpose. Psalm 51:13-17
Join with others. Psalm 51:18-19

“You shall not covet” (Exodus 20:17). While it can be clear whether someone has murdered or stolen that which is not theirs, the prohibition against covetousness is harder to observe. We must guard our hearts against desiring that which is others’, for the failure to do so can cause us to act in ways unbecoming for the follower of Christ. As his children, we trust that he provides, and we should not covet that which he has given others.

View Details

“You shall not steal” (Exodus 20:15). For the Israelites to function as a society, the rights to ownership over one’s possessions was paramount. This, however, was not simply to be demonstrated by refraining from stealing what was not theirs, but also to care for those in and outside the community by treating them fairly. While most today recognize “theft” as wrong, there are many areas in which we can be tempted to cut corners, and we must seek to be people of integrity in all that we do.

View Details

“You shall not commit adultery” (Exodus 20:14). In ancient Israel the marriage bond was to be held in high regard and they were prohibited from committing adultery. In Matthew 5:27-28, Jesus takes it a step beyond mere physical activity and includes the very thoughts of our minds that need to be taken captive. In an age with rampant pornography and the use of sex to sell all manner of products, we need to be ever diligent to keep our thoughts pure.

View Details

“You shall not murder” (Exodus 20:13). Every human being bears the image of their creator and, consequently, their life matters. This means that we need uphold the dignity of every life: from the unborn to the aged and all in-between. Jesus tells us that to uphold this command we are not to think just of our actions but to consider as well the disposition of our hearts towards others (Matthew 5:21-24).

View Details

“Honor your father and your mother” (Exodus 20:12). The Israelites were called to “honor” their parents and, interestingly, this is the only commandment with a promise attached to it. While our relationship with our parents will naturally change over time, we are always called to treat them with respect and consider their needs. The challenge today is to live this out before others, recognizing that not every parent has always acted honorably.

View Details

“Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy” (Exodus 20:8). The Israelites were commanded to keep the Sabbath separate. The Lord himself patterned this in creation and we too are to demonstrate our belief that we belong to him and that, ultimately, he is our provider. In our culture that is always “on the go” it can be very difficult to slow down and acknowledge that our future is not bound up in our work but in the hands of him who continues to provide for our every need.

View Details

“You shall not take the name of the LORD your God in vain” (Exodus 20:7). The name of the Lord is not to be used carelessly or for our own benefit. We are to esteem his name above others and never use it to give veracity to our words. Today, the name of the LORD is not held in high honor by all. As followers of Christ, we desire to ensure the words we use to demonstrate and reflect the disposition of our hearts.

“You shall not make for yourself a carved image” (Exodus 20:4). The Israelites were commanded not to create and/or worship any image, for God is a jealous God. The warning against doing so is that God will visit the iniquities of fathers and mothers on their future children and grandchildren. At the time, we may not realize how the idols we hold will impact others, but God is clear that the life we live matters as we seek to raise up future followers of Christ.

View Details

“You shall have no other gods before me” (Exodus 20:3). Contrary to some of the polytheistic faiths of the nations around them, the Israelites were called to worship God and God alone. Though we live in a culture of diverse beliefs, we too must declare our absolute allegiance to God through Christ, for there is only one name under heaven by which we can be saved.

Mary and Joseph celebrated the birth of their son, Jesus, but others too would recognize that he was their long awaited Messiah. God’s plan for redeeming his people from sin was now before them and they responded in praise. As his people today, we declare our Messiah’s arrival and bow to him in adoration and praise. The light of the world has come, and salvation is available to all who would believe.

View Details

The birth of Jesus Christ may have gone unnoticed in the world’s eyes, but angels declared the arrival of the Savior to shepherds keeping watch over their flock by night. Jesus our Messiah was born in Bethlehem and is good news of great joy for all people! Like those shepherds of old, we seek to glorify and praise God for all that he has done, and while we remember that our Savior has come, we by faith believe he will one day return.

View Details

Unlike Mary, who had demonstrated tremendous faith, the priest Zechariah had initially doubted what God was able to do. Upon the birth of his son who would become John the Baptist, Zechariah embraces the vision of the Lord and declares in faith all that God will accomplish. We too may have in our past instances of doubt, but like Zechariah, need proudly proclaim the work and glory of God today.

View Details

Though young and insignificant in the world’s eyes, Mary had been chosen by God to carry his Son into the world. Mary rejoices in God’s marvelous work and in faith declares her trust in a beautiful song of praise. While we may be considered insignificant in the world’s estimation, we need to declare our faith and trust in him, confident that he will accomplish all that he has said he will do.

The long awaited Messiah was about to enter the world. It would not be to kings and kingdoms that he would arrive, but instead to a humble virgin betrothed to a man named Joseph. Mary’s faith and willingness to be used of the Lord has for centuries stood as an example of what our response to our Lord should be and encourage us all to say, “Behold, I am the servant of the Lord; let it be to me according to your word” (Luke 1:38).

View Details

At Mount Sinai, the Lord was to come down in the sight of all the people. It was a terrifying event when the Lord descended, and the Israelites needed to ensure they followed all of the Lord’s commands. The ancient Israelites who experienced that day could never have imagined that God would one day come down in the person of Jesus. While it may seem far off, we need always remember that our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ will one day return for his own.

View Details

The Israelites arrive at Mount Sinai and the Lord calls them to recall all he had done for them and promises, should they choose to obey, to make them a treasured possession, a kingdom of priests and a holy nation. Though we are removed by thousands of years, we too are left with a decision as to whether or not we will trust God at his word in the days he has given us.

Moses was clearly the man God had chosen to lead his people, but that did not mean that Moses was required to do everything by himself. When his father-in-law, Jethro, saw all that Moses was attempting to do he encouraged him to enlist others to help him with the work. We too are not called to be lone rangers in the faith but to rely on and depend upon the body of Christ to accomplish the work to which he has called us.

God had done miraculous things through Moses for his people, and his father-in-law, Jethro, is quick to recognize it. When the challenges of this life tempt us to despair, we need to remember that God can use our example in the lives of others. We may think that our struggles are for no purpose, but they could be the very thing that draws another to faith.

View Details

The Israelites faith had been stretched by the apparent lack of physical provision but now they faced a physical enemy in the attacking Amalekites. God, however, would through Moses bring victory for his people. This episode is a striking reminder of who fights for us and our need for others to encourage us in the spiritual battle in which we are engaged.

When the Israelites complain for a third time, even Moses grows frustrated and begins to fear for his life. Even when our circumstances may seem to indicate otherwise, we must always be confident in God’s abiding presence with us and not doubt his love and concern. God can provide for us in the most miraculous of ways; we need only keep our eyes upon him.

View Details

As the journey grew difficult the Israelites minds went back to Egypt. They complained to Moses and Aaron and doubted God’s concern for them. God, however, was about to show them his miraculous provision and stretch their faith to trust in his care. When we are tempted to doubt, we need to recall that he who did not spare his own Son will graciously give us all that we need.

Despite God’s miraculous provision for them thus far, when faced with an apparent water shortage, the Israelites again begin to doubt and complain to Moses. We too can suffer from a short memory and need to remind one another that God’s presence is enough for all the trials and difficulties that we may face and that our heavenly Father knows what we need before we ask him.

After God’s miraculous deliverance, Moses is moved to singing in response. Our God is a God of victory, power, love and hope, and the songs we sing remind us of who he is and what he has done on our behalf. We sing not to fill time in a worship service, but to declare his goodness and remind one another of his finished work and our future hope.

While the Israelites are assured victory, their present circumstances would seem to indicate otherwise. When the Israelites begin to panic Moses calls them to “Fear not, stand firm, and see the salvation of the LORD, which he will work for you today” (Ex. 14:13). How much more shall we, living on this side of the cross, believe that our God is able to make a way when we find ourselves up against seemingly insurmountable odds.

As the Israelites began their journey towards the Promised Land, God did not lead them through the land of the Philistines “Lest the people change their minds when they see war and return to Egypt” (Ex.13:17). This, however, would result in them being trapped between the Red Sea and an approaching Egyptian army. Like the Israelites, sometimes God’s plans are confusing to us and we need trust in his guidance and abiding presence with us.

While family and friends may put pressure on individuals to pursue marriage, the apostle Paul encourages individuals to consider how they can best use their lives in service of Christ. In some cases, remaining single allows for greater dedication to Christian ministry and should be encouraged and celebrated within the life of the church.

The church is not comprised of a uniform group of people but is a diverse body with different backgrounds, differing cultures and life experiences. What brings us together is that we have each responded to the gospel call of God and, consequently, have made the Lord the Lord of our lives. It is out of that relationship that every other human relationship needs to be viewed.

For the followers of Jesus, marriage is a relationship like no other as it points to Christ’s relationship with his church (Ephesians 5:32). Therefore, Christians who are married should do all they can to remain married to their spouse. Unfortunately, there are times when an unbelieving spouse may choose to end a marriage, and in those cases, the believing spouse is called to a peaceful separation.

Worthy Of Your Name CCLI #7052927 | Brett Younker and Sean Curran © ©

When some of the Corinthians misunderstood God’s design for human sexuality, the apostle Paul teaches them about biblical marriage and the priority that should be given to the sexual relationship between husband and wife. This is not to say, however, that all should pursue marriage; the apostle himself was single and encourages those like him to remain single if they can.

View Details

In a culture as sexually permissive as our own, the apostle Paul’s warning to “flee from sexual immorality” can sound hopelessly out-of-date. Yet for the follower of Christ, we recognize that we belong to the Lord and that our bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit. Being joined to Christ, what we do with our bodies matters, and while the world may look down upon us, we seek to glorify God in our bodies.

1 Peter 2:9–10 (ESV) — 9 But you are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for his own possession, that you may proclaim the excellencies of him who called you out of darkness into his marvelous light. 10 Once you were not a people, but now you are God’s people; once you had not received mercy, but now you have received mercy.

The promises and grace of Jesus fuels our proclamation of Jesus.

Willing to Lose – 1 Corinthians 6:1-11

When the apostle Paul hears that Corinthian believers are taking their grievances with each other before local magistrates, he questions why they could not handle those disagreements within the church. The world is watching us closely and we need do whatever we can to keep the name of Christ from being discredited.

View Details

Ready to Respond – 1 Corinthians 5:1-13

God’s people are to be set apart. Though we will sometimes fail, those who persist in sin need to be warned and, if unwilling to repent, be separated from the church. While this is never easy, the church needs to be ready to respond to such cases to keep the sin from spreading.

View Details

An Audience of One – 1 Corinthians 4:1-21

Some in the church in Corinth were looking down on the apostle Paul. This, however, was no concern for him as he sought only to “be found faithful” before God. We too need remember that though people may disregard us for our belief, we serve an audience of one who will one day disclose the purposes of every heart.

View Details

Team Players – 1 Corinthians 3:1-23

Ultimately, God uses his people to accomplish his purposes. It is foolish to elevate one above another. Instead, we should seek to participate in his work in whatever way he calls us to it, confident that work done for him will last and be rewarded on the final day.

Not of this World – 1 Corinthians 2:6-16

While we seek to be winsome and engaging with the world around us, we need remember that the wisdom he gives is not of the world and will not be understood by those who do not know him unless revealed to them by the Spirit. We need grow comfortable that we will, at times, appear very foolish before an unbelieving world.

This service was a special outdoor baptism service with close friends and family of those getting baptized attending. The sermon is focused on baptism and the testimony and declaration of faith God calls us to in being obedient to Jesus' example.

Called to Confidence – 1 Corinthians 1:18-2:5

When the church in Corinth was being divided into factions, the apostle Paul did not try to rally people to himself with a superior style or intellect, but instead chose to preach Christ crucified in the power of the Spirit so their faith “might not rest in the wisdom of men but in the power of God.”

One Calling – 1 Corinthians 1:10-17

Much like the church in Corinth, many followers of Christ are divided today, especially as it relates to our response to the Coronavirus. We need remember that in him we are to be united in the same mind and judgement, seeking the proclamation of the gospel above all.

Sustaining Grace - 1 Corinthians 1:1-9 In these uncertain and changing times the reality of our faith comes to bear upon our lives in a powerful way. Regardless of what may come, we rest in his sustaining grace, confident that he will sustain us to the end and present us guiltless upon his return.

It is far too easy to compartmentalize our faith, and in doing so see it become a segment of our lives. For those in the early church, they were committed to God consistently day by day, and as a result, God added to their numbers daily. We too should have confidence that, as we walk daily in faith, God will use us to see lives changed through Christ.

The transforming work of the gospel led the early church to radical generosity. Recognizing God’s ownership overall they had, when presented with a physical need in the congregation, they quickly responded to meet that need by divesting themselves of real property to meet the needs of each other.

People were Generous - Acts 2:44-45

I. Fellowship is more than just being together. Acts 2:44 II. Fellowship is sharing generously with one another. Acts 2:45 III. God loves a cheerful giver. 2 Corinthians 9:6-7

As the church devoted themselves to God’s word, each other, the Lord’s supper and prayer, the Holy Spirit responded in powerful ways and awe came upon every soul. We too should trust that as we live the life that God has called us to, it will be recognized and lead people to look to Christ.

Acts 2:43 Their ministry was powerful because they were devoted to (1) God’s Word, (2) Fellowship, (3) Lord’s Super - having their identity in Christ and (4) Prayer

John 15:1-17 We get our “power” from Christ Powerful ministry is demonstrated through Love.

Nowhere in Scripture are we called to live in isolation. To the contrary, we are called to stir up one another to love and good works (Hebrews 10:24). Fellowship with other believers is not simply an add-on optional component of the Christian life, but very much necessary for our ongoing growth and faith in Christ.

The first followers of Christ were devoted to the apostles’ teaching. They desired to know what Jesus had taught and how it connected to God’s larger story in Scripture. We are fortunate to have all of God’s word recorded for us; 66 books, each profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness, that we may be equipped for every good work.

They were committed to the study of God's Word (Acts 2:42b) a. All Scripture is breathed out by God (2 Timothy 3:16a) b. All Scripture id profitable (2 Timothy 3:16b) c. Are you ready? (2 Timothy 3:17)

Before churches ever gathered in stand-alone buildings, the church in Acts 2 was a group of people called out and devoted to biblical community with a clear commitment to God’s word, evangelism and care. While much has changed since then, the local church remains the centerpiece of God’s plan to reach and disciple this world.

The Preacher wraps up his book by reminding us of the careful attention he gave to his words and, consequently, the careful attention we should give them in response. The end of the matter is that it is only in a reverence for God and obedience to his commands that we will find a truly satisfied life. Far from being discouraging, we can be confident that all we do in pursuit of Christ will be recognized and rewarded on that final day.

Until Christ returns, each one of us at some point will die and the reality of death casts a long dark shadow over all our pursuits. However, for the redeemed in Christ, we cry out, “O death, where is your victory? O death, where is your sting?” (1 Corinthians 15:55). For the child of God, while death is not the end, its presence here and now should drive us to cherish and enjoy life while we can.

Even from our limited human perspective, we understand there is good advice that is worthwhile to follow and that making wise choices is to be preferred to making foolish ones.

The pursuit of material wealth does not deliver on the promises it makes but ultimately frustrates the one in search of it. Contrary to our world’s understanding, contentment in life is found in meaningful relationships with others and, through Christ, in relationship with God our creator who is the only one worthy of our ultimate pursuit. Ironically, through Christ, we can find joy in the temporary pleasures of this world when we receive them as good gifts coming from his hand.

Every Sunday millions of people will stream into churches. They will do similar things in similar ways and from the outside appear uniform in their behaviors. In Ecclesiastes 5:1-7, the Preacher warns of the danger in approaching God flippantly and highlights the need for reverence and faith to saturate our practices. Thankfully, through Christ we can “with confidence draw near to the throne of grace, that we may receive mercy and find grace to help in time of need” (Hebrews 4:16).

We should worship God carefully (v. 1)
We should speak to God humbly (vs. 2-3)
We should commit to God cautiously (vs. 4-5)
We should live our lives honestly (vs. 6-7)

When the toddler is sent to bed earlier than her older siblings she may well exclaim “It’s not fair!” Even from our youth, we have a sense of justice, a sense of the way things are supposed to be. As we grow older, we recognize that justice is not always served. The Preacher wrestles with this question, and while he hopes for justice in the end, he resigns himself to this fallen world and its need for a righteous judge.

This world is a brutal & callous place (Ecc. 3:16 & 4:1)
God will judge everbody (v. 17)
We should be ready (vs. 18-21)
Live confidently (v. 22)

There is a tedious and repetitive meaningless to the world in which we live; for all that we could look forward to is often mitigated by the curse of sin in this fallen world. We celebrate the birth of a child but acknowledge at some point that new life will itself come to an end. While we realize there is a time for everything, God has put eternity into our hearts so that we can recognize that something is not right. This recognition should drive us to God, who stands outside of time and holds all things together.

Acknowledge our reality (vs. 1-9)
Consider our response (vs. 10-13)
Take comfort in His control (vs. 14-15)

God has given us good gifts, but in our sin, we have made those gifts ends in and of themselves. We obtain what we desire, only to desire what we do not have. All of our pursuits, be it pleasure, wisdom or work will fall decidedly short apart from one finding their joy and contentment in God’s simple gifts. Our culture pursues a dream that will ultimately turn into a nightmare. We have opportunity to live differently and, through Christ, model what true contentment looks like.

Self-indulgence will not satisfy (vs. 1-11)

This earth is not as it should be, “For the creation was subjected to futility, not willingly, but because of him who subjected it, in hope that the creation itself will be set free from its bondage to corruption and obtain the freedom of the glory of the children of God” (Romans 8:20-21). The Preacher wrestles with this reality and its implications for our daily life. In the end, our only hope is to find our satisfaction and joy in the person and work of Jesus and look forward to the day when we are set free from the monotony of this life and the effects of sin.

We live on a treadmill (vs. 1-11)

Over the last 40 years, the ministry of Woodmen Valley Chapel has endured not because its people were wiser, more powerful or more noble than others, but because of the righteousness, sanctification, and redemption of God. Our history and our future rest not in the wisdom of men but in the power of God. This Easter, we again call on all who would hear, regardless of failures or resumes, to confess Christ as Lord by faith and enter into new life.

Recognize our failure (vs. 18-21)
Acknowledge our desires (vs. 22-25)
Admit our need (vs. 26-29)

To die upon a Roman cross was the most brutal and humiliating death one could imagine. And yet, it was on a Roman cross that our Savior bled and died for us. Though folly to a fallen world, to us who are being saved it is the power of God. Today, the cross is seen everywhere. It adorns the tops of churches and people’s necks, but commonplace as it may be, it remains the enduring symbol of God’s magnificent love for us.

The apostle Paul is grateful for all God had done in the church of Corinth, as we too celebrate what God has done over 40 years of Woodmen. While the Corinthians were divided and quarreled among themselves, we rejoice that the ministry of Woodmen has never been about any one person or group of people, but a community of believers unified in the same mind and the same judgment proclaiming the gospel of Jesus Christ.

Though being repeatedly warned of the danger that awaits him in Jerusalem, the apostle Paul continues forward, “ready not only to be imprisoned but even to die in Jerusalem for the name of the Lord Jesus” (Acts 21:13). Each of us is called to follow Jesus, but we do so not sure of where he may lead us. Might the Spirit of God strengthen us to follow him wherever he may lead and would we move forward confidently regardless of what is to come.

The book of Acts records much that was said and taught to unbelievers, but what might the apostle Paul have said to a group of followers of Jesus? Paul’s message in Acts 20:17-38 is the one example we have of a message Paul gave to a solely believing audience. Not surprisingly, it reads like many of his letters and encourages us to follow Paul’s example as we serve Christ.

Even as the opposition against the apostle Paul increased, Paul did not shy away from the ministry he was called to. One evening while Paul taught long into the night, a man named Eutychus fell from a window and died. The apostle Paul miraculously raises Eutychus from the dead and continues on with his ministry. We need be reminded that though opposition may increase, the power of God is always stronger still.

When Demetrius, a silversmith, causes a riot, the author of Acts, Luke, is careful to record all that transpired. While the gospel will necessarily put us at odds with others regarding what we believe and hold to be true, we are to seek peace in the places that God puts us and never bring discredit to the name of Christ. People will have a variety of reasons for dismissing the gospel; may we as his people never be one of their reasons!

Those who had confessed Christ as Lord found themselves being transformed by the power of the gospel. Many of them who believed renounced the evil ways of their past and brought their books of magic arts and burned them together. Consequently, the word of the Lord “continued to increase and prevail mightily” (Acts 19:20). The evidence of true life change in others is one of our most powerful evangelistic tools.

Upon arriving in Ephesus, the apostle Paul was introduced to disciples of John the Baptist. Having not heard of the ministry of Jesus, the apostle Paul shared the gospel with them and they were baptized. Like all those who confess the name of Christ as Lord, the Holy Spirit comes upon them and indwells them. Today, the indwelling presence of the Holy Spirit remains the evidence of true faith in Christ and is our source of power and strength each and every day.

While Paul wraps up his second missionary journey and begins his third, Priscila and Aquilla explain the way of God to a fervent and gifted man named Apollos. From Alexandria, Apollos was eloquent, competent in the Scriptures, and had been taught about Jesus. However, he was still lacking understanding in some critical areas. The example of Priscilla and Aquilla reminds us that we each can be used of God to teach his word.

Having been encouraged in a vision that he would be protected and that God had many in the city of Corinth he was going to call to himself, the apostle Paul stayed in Corinth a year and a half. When Paul is brought before the proconsul, God honors his word and Paul is delivered. Like Paul, we should understand that though God is the ultimate authority in salvation, we are all called to participate with him in it.

As a church we seek to love well, change lives, through Christ that means we want to do ministry like Jesus. He saw and pursued an social and religious outsider. Jesus did not block Zacchaeus from coming to him, rather Jesus invited him to a relationship and Zacchaeus was greatly transformed. We too are to go out and seek and save the lost, we do this not through our own power but through the power of Christ.

Four Missional Values of Woodmen: 1. Gather 2. Connect 3. Grow 4. Contribute

What would we like people to line up at the end of our lives and thank us for?

We are stewards of extraordinary influence and unprecedented opportunity.

Two Characteristics of Woodmen: 1. Leadership Culture 2. Multiplication Culture

Our dream for Colorado Springs: 1. A world where the church is considered an essential part of every local community. 2. A world where people skeptical of what we believe are envious of how well we treat each other and amazed at how well we treat them. 3. A world where people want the message of Jesus to be true before they believe it’s true.

The apostle Paul was the greatest missionary the church has ever had, and in Acts 17:22-34 we see, in part, the reason why. Paul did not have one message that he simply repeated in each and every town he visited, but instead, he relates to his listeners drawing from their culture and understanding. Paul’s message at the Areopagus gives us all an example to embrace.

The message (vs. 22-31) a. Paul began with their concern (vs. 22-23) b. Paul introduced them to their creator (vs. 24-25) c. Paul explained the relationship (vs. 26-27) d. Paul identified their error (vs. 28-29) e. Paul called for repentance (vs. 30-31)

While Paul waited for his teammates in Athens, Acts 17:16 says, “his spirit was provoked within him as he saw that the city was full of idols.” Rather than be cold, indifferent or angry at the depravity that surrounded him, the apostle Paul was moved into action by it. Paul began reasoning with people in the synagogue and the marketplace and we should be quick to follow his example. Rather than feeling frustration with the unbelieving world around us, we should be moved into action.

Having been sent to Berea, Paul and Silas begin to share in the synagogue there. Unlike those who had come before them in Thessalonica, these Jews “received the word with all eagerness, examining the Scriptures daily to see if these things were so” (Acts 17:11). We too should be encouraged to search the scriptures with confidence that the Lord will bring us understanding.

The Gospel has true power and the ministry of Paul and Silas draws many to faith. Unfortunately, the opposition is real too. The home of Jason is attacked, and he and some of the brothers are brought before the city authorities. The accusation is that, “These men who have turned the world upside down have come here also” (Acts 17:6). Little did they know the gospel would indeed change the world.

No one is exempt from the longing to be applauded and affirmed. And when we think we deserve the glory for doing good things, it's easy to seek ways to turn the spotlight on ourselves. Interestingly, God takes issue not with our good deeds but with our efforts to heap the credit upon ourselves. Which leads us to the question, if it’s not me, who should get the glory?

When Joseph, a good and just man, learned that his betrothed, Mary, was with child he was unwilling to put her to shame and resolved to divorce her quietly. As he was considering these things, an angel of the Lord appeared to him and told him to “not fear to take Mary as your wife, for that which is conceived in her is from the Holy Spirit” (Matthew 1:20). This son was to be named Jesus “for he will save his people from their sins” (Matthew 1:21).

This son has come and this Christmas Eve we celebrate his offer of forgiveness to all and declare the one name under heaven by which men and women can be saved. While like Joseph this news can catch many off-guard, we pray that they will respond in obedient faith like him.

THEME - GRACE

A divine beginning (v. 18)
A good man (v. 19)
A call to respond (vs. 20-23)
The choice is yours (vs. 24-25)

Out of obedience to the law, Mary and Joseph bring the infant Jesus to the temple in Jerusalem to offer a sacrifice. At the temple, they encounter a righteous and devout man, named Simeon, who was “waiting for the consolation of Israel” and had been told by the Holy Spirit that “he would not see death before he had seen the Lord’s Christ” (Luke 2:26). In the Spirit, Simeon declares that Jesus is “a light for revelation to the Gentiles, and for glory to your people Israel” (Luke 2:32).

Though some 2000 years removed, Simeon’s words remain true today. Jesus is the Light of the World for all people, and we believe, in faith, that many will come to know him personally this Christmas Eve at Woodmen.

THEME – EXPECTATION

A man – righteous and devout (vs. 25-26)
An encounter – orchestrated by God (vs. 27-28)
A song – salvation has come (vs. 29-32)
The truth – not all will sing (vs. 33-35)

Zechariah the priest had been serving the Lord in the temple when the angel of the Lord, Gabriel, announced that his wife would conceive and bear a son named “John” who would be “great before the Lord” and “turn many of the children of Israel to the Lord their God” (Luke 1:16). Zechariah struggles to believe and is temporarily made deaf and mute until the sign is fulfilled.

When Elizabeth, Zechariah’s wife, delivers their son John, Zechariah’s hearing and speech is restored. Filled with the Holy Spirit, Zechariah prophetically speaks of his son’s future work and the fulfillment of God’s promise to redeem his people. Today, we too declare in faith God’s promised salvation through the work of his son Jesus.

THEME – HOPE

Salvation is from God (vs. 68-71)
Salvation is for us (vs. 72-75)
His Mission is ours (vs. 76-77)
All Fear is gone (vs. 78-79)

The angel Gabriel is sent to Mary, a young virgin betrothed to Joseph, a descendant of David, and announces that she will conceive, bear a son and call his name Jesus. When Mary meets her relative Elizabeth, herself miraculously carrying John the Baptist, Mary erupts into a song of praise as she recognizes that God had looked upon her “humble estate” and will use her to bring to fulfillment his plans to redeem his people.

While many will look upon this Christmas as nothing more than a traditional celebration, we the redeemed people of God, like Mary, rejoice that Jesus has come to us, not because we were worthy or deserving, but because we were in need of a Savior.

THEME – JOY

A young woman believed (v. 45)
There is no greater joy (vs. 46-48)
There is no greater God (vs. 49-50)
There is no cause for worry (vs. 51-53)
Rejoice! Our King has come! (vs. 54-55)

The battle with Baal is not over, but Elijah’s ministry has come to an end. Elijah will be succeeded by Elisha who, after witnessing Elijah ascending into heaven, receives a double portion of his spirit. While God does raise up individuals to do His work, His working power is never limited to any one individual. God will continue to accomplish His purposes through others even when our time is done.

Just like he had confronted his father Ahab, Elijah is sent to confront Ahaziah. Instead of receiving Elijah’s rebuke and humbling himself, Ahaziah seeks to apprehend and capture the prophet with devastating consequences for the ones he sends. When we are confronted with the error of our ways, we must constantly seek a soft heart before the Lord and seek His forgiveness.

Though Ahab will die as result of his sin, his son Ahaziah does not turn from his father’s evil ways. Jehoshaphat, on the other hand, sought to do “what was right in the sight of the Lord” (1 Kings 22:3b). Jehoshaphat’s example shows us that it is possible to live rightly before God even in a day when others do not.

After three years of peace with Syria, Ahab joins with Jehoshaphat, king of Judah, to retake the city of Ramoth-Gilead. But not before, at Jehoshaphat’s insistence, they inquire of the Lord. Sadly, Ahab still depends on his false prophets for guidance while Jehoshaphat seeks a true prophet for direction.

When Ahab and Jezebel mercilessly steal a man’s vineyard, Elijah returns to the scene to condemn their actions. Though Ahab had historically ignored God’s commands and warnings, at this condemnation he humbles himself and is sorry. While he cannot reverse God’s judgements against him, God does spare him from seeing disaster in his days.

While Elijah confidently and bravely spoke for the Lord, he was not the only prophet in Israel. When Ben-Hadad, the king of Syria, threatens Israel God raises up another prophet to help guide Israel to victory. Unfortunately, contrary to God’s direction, Ahab will spare Ben-Hadad’s life and, in doing so, bring God’s judgement upon himself.

Though physically strengthened, Elijah remains emotionally spent and his faith and vision are failing. God meets Elijah, not in a spectacular demonstration of power but in a low whisper and reveals His purposes and plans for Elijah in the days ahead. Elijah is not alone and everything will not rest on his shoulders. When spiritually spent, we too can feel pity for ourselves and overlook the voice of the Lord in our lives.

Physically and emotionally exhausted after his tremendous victory, Elijah’s faith weakens and he becomes afraid when threatened by Queen Jezebel and runs away. Rather than chastise him, God sends an angel to provide for Elijah’s physical needs and restores his strength. We too can often find our faith weak after victory and must remember that we are created beings who live in dependency upon God’s strength and not our own.

For too long Israel had been led astray by the worship of Baal. Now with all eyes on him, Elijah publicly calls the question, “If the Lord is God, follow Him; but if Baal, then follow him” (1 Kings 18:21). In a radical display of confidence and faith, Elijah will demonstrate definitively who is God and bring searing judgment against the prophets of Baal. When God’s judgement against evil seems absent, we remember that God will one day decisively bring justice against those who have stood against Him.

King Ahab blames Elijah for the drought and the trouble Israel is experiencing, but Elijah will rightly assert that it is Ahab’s disobedience to the commandments of the LORD and worship of Baal that has brought the calamity upon the land. Seeking to publicly vindicate the name of the LORD, Elijah calls all of Israel to witness. Though we can feel outnumbered at times, we trust in the name of the LORD.

God sends Elijah to the center of Baal worship where he meets a widow of Zarephath. Through Elijah, God would miraculously provide for the widow’s needs, and when her son becomes ill and dies, Elijah would raise her son from the dead.

Rather than worship the LORD, the God of Israel, the evil king of Israel, Ahab, served and worshipped Baal. God would raise up and send Elijah, a Tishbite, to confront Ahab and announce a coming drought. In doing so, God will establish who is the one true living God who sovereignly rules over His creation. When many in our day deny the one true living God, we must remain confident in who He has revealed himself to be.

Following God’s leading does not ensure a smooth and trouble-free life. After setting a young slave girl free of demonic possession, her owners turn on Paul and Silas and drag them before the rulers who have them beaten by rods and thrown in prison.

Though presented with many opportunities to share the gospel, Paul and Timothy listen to the leading of the Spirit and go to Troas where Paul is confronted with the vision of a man urging them to Macedonia; there they meet Lydia who will trust in Christ and become a supporter of the church. God often leads us in directions we do not immediately understand, but in hindsight can recognize his good and loving purposes.

When the apostle Paul selects Timothy (born to a Jewish mother and Greek father) to accompany him on his journey, he has Timothy circumcised because of the Jewish populations in the places they were traveling.

Not every challenge the church faces will come from the outside. At times, good men and women who love Jesus will disagree with one another and it is naïve to think otherwise. As followers of Christ, we must be faithful to what we feel God is leading us to and trust that, even in conflict, God is working all things out according to his plan.

One day Jesus will return. Not just as the sacrificial lamb that was slain, but as the conquering Lion. In his return, Jesus will fully defeat Satan. Jesus will judge every person, those who have never repented will be cast away. Those who are a part of the redeemed community of God will spend forever. Jesus will restore all things: all the tears wiped away, no more death, no mourning, no crying, no pain. We cry out echoing the words of John as he ends his letter, Come Lord Jesus, Come.

Our Christian liberty is often a topic of great dispute and personal opinion. However, in 1 Cor 8-10, Paul uses a cultural illustration that offers 5 key life principles for making decisions in this area of our Christian liberty in regard to actions and behaviors. The sermon will work through the cultural illustration and mine out these key principles.

How do we lose our difference (Ephesians 4:17-19) a. Darkened in our understanding (v. 17) b. Separated from God (v. 18a) c. Hardness of heart / loss of sensitivity (v. 19a) d. Given up to sensuality (vs. 19b)
How do we make the right decisions? (1 Corinthian 6-10) a. Does the word of God address the issue? (1 Corinthians 6:9-11) b. How does it affect my fellow believer? (1 Corinthians 8:9-13) c. How will the decision affect non-believers? (1 Corinthians 10:32-33) d. Will this decision master me? (1 Corinthians 6:12) e, Will it bring glory to God? (1 Corinthians 10:31)
How do we stay different? (Ephesians 5:1-14) a. What to do (vs. 1-2) b. What not to do (vs. 3-4) c. Who not to partner with (vs. 7-11)

Sound doctrine should lead to right behavior, and in Titus 2:1-10 the apostle Paul gives specific instruction for various groups within the church. While it can be counter-cultural to modern ears, Paul’s direction finds its foundation in the gospel itself and highlights the behaviors that make not only families strong, but creates churches that point an unbelieving world to Jesus.

In this passage Paul outlines his motivation for mission and invites us all to join him. He is motivation is rooted in the grace of God, and he is moved to reach those who have not heard of the finished work of Christ on the cross. He does this by both word and deed depending upon the power of the Holy Spirit (v. 18-19). We too are to go where people have not yet heard so that “those who have never been told of him will see, and those who have never head will understand.”

Jesus Christ was crucified and took the penalty for the sins of the world upon himself. By his death we are offered access to God through faith. Ironically, it was a Roman centurion who after witnessing his death would confess, “Truly this man was the Son of God!” (Mark 15:39). Every one of us must recognize Jesus’ death on our behalf and acknowledge him as the Son of God who died in our place.

Jesus’ trial before the Jewish Sanhedrin was a gross miscarriage of justice. Wrongly convicted of blasphemy, he is condemned to death and handed over to the Romans. Jesus, the Son of God, is abandoned by those closest to him, rejected by his people, and brutally scourged and mocked at the hands of those he created. All this he endured because of his great love for us and desire to reconcile us to our father.

The disciples seek to make preparations for the celebration of the Passover and Jesus foretells of his coming betrayal. At the Passover meal, Jesus institutes what we will come to call The Lord’s Supper and identifies himself with the bread and the cup.

When we approach the Lord’s table today, we are reminded of his body given for us and his blood shed for the forgiveness of our sins.

As the chief priests and scribes sought to arrest Jesus and have him killed, they found a willing accomplice in Jesus’ disciple Judas. Despite their secrecy, Jesus was not naïve to what awaited him and praised a woman for her generous outpouring of love in preparation for his burial.

A well-intentioned scribe approaches Jesus and asks, “Which commandment is the most important of all?” (Mark 12:28). Jesus points to our love for God and love for others as being the greatest commandments for us to follow. When the scribe agrees, Jesus tells him that he is, “not far from the kingdom of God” (Mark 12:34).

The opponents of Jesus persist in their efforts to try and trap and discredit Jesus. They first question him in regards to the paying of taxes to Caesar, and then challenge him on the legitimacy of the resurrection of the dead. In both cases, Jesus shows he is more than up to the challenge. We need be mindful that when we bring our questions to Christ, if only trying to prove our own point, we too will find the wisdom of Christ far exceeds our own.

Upon entering Jerusalem, Jesus recognizes that all is not well in their spiritual capital. Jesus figuratively curses a fig tree and then begins to cleanse the temple of its iniquity.

Each and every day we leave our homes, we by necessity spend time in the world he created. In doing so, have opportunity for the glory of God to be spoken into our hearts. Yet, it's easy to go from home-to-car, car-to-work, work-to-car, and car-to-home again, without ever taking notice of God’s voice in creation.

Out of the cloud, the Father speaks and says, “This is my beloved Son; listen to him.” (Mark 9:7). Still today, to deny the Son is to reject the one that sent him.

When we think about being a follower of Jesus Christ, we don’t usually think of this in terms of how we handle our money and possessions. And in the context of the church, we commonly think about money in terms of what God wants from us. We will explore God’s foundational perspective on wealth in the OT and NT and how He ultimately wants our hearts.

David’s Prayer: Honor God with everything (I Chronicles 29:10-19)
Wherever my treasure is, my heart will follow (Matthew 6:21)
We cannot serve both God and money (Matthew 6:24)

Jesus foretells his death for a second time and again his disciples fail to understand and instead begin to argue about who was the “greatest” among them. Jesus takes the opportunity to teach them about humility, service to others and the gravity of sin. We need pray for the ability to see ourselves and sin clearly.

Nothing could have prepared Peter, James and John for the radiant and divine Jesus that stood before them, but even then, they fail to grasp who he is in all of his glory. Out of the cloud, the Father speaks and says, “This is my beloved Son; listen to him.” (Mark 9:7). Still today, to deny the Son is to reject the one that sent him.

God longs to touch our lives so that we can share His touch. We serve an approachable God who loves nothing more than breaking through the isolation and meeting us at our point of greatest need.

Is anyone untouchable to Jesus?
“And a leper came to him, imploring him, and kneeling…you can make me clean”
“If you will, you can make me clean.”
Miracle #1: Jesus is Approachable
True Spiriuality makes us more approachable, not less approachable.
Miracle #2: Jesus is High Touch
It is only when we experience the touch of Jesus, that we can get healed.
“But he went out and began to talk freely about it, and to spread the news.”

All too often our prayers can center around ourselves, our loved ones, or those closest to us. The apostle Paul sets a radical example in that he prayed, often, for those he had never even met! We too should work to ensure our prayers are not self-centered but also include lifting up brothers and sisters in Christ, even though we may have no earthly relationship with them at all. It can begin by praying more for those in our church!

You need not spend much time on the internet to recognize our world can be a cruel and heartless place. If you do, the question can arise, where is God in all of this? As Paul prays for the Ephesians, he prays they would have understanding as to who God is and what he has done for them through Christ. Keeping this at the forefront, our heart gives us hope as we are met with life’s discouragements.

People often categorize decisions as either “good” or “bad” ones and, sometimes, it is only in hindsight that they can really tell which one it was. In his prayer for the Philippians, Paul encourages them towards not simply “good” decisions, but “excellent” ones. He prays for confidence, that they would know what is excellent and, so informed, be ready for the day of Christ. With so many decisions before us each day, we too need pray more for confidence in our own lives.

When God calls us to follow Him, he is calling us to something greater than we could ever ask or imagine. Too often, however, we are satisfied by following the call of our own selfish heart. In the call of Elisha we see how God’s call leads to something greater, even though at first it seems to be exactly the opposite. Elisha was a wealthy man, but to be faithful to God’s call he gave up his wealth. Elisha was a man of authority, but he gave up his authority to serve Elijah for 18 years. As Elisha found following the call of God was greater than he could have imagined, every one of us must be faithful to follow the specific call God has given us.

When some heard that Jesus was teaching in their town, they brought their friend, a paralytic, to him. When there was no room for them to enter the home where Jesus was, they dramatically lowered their friend through the roof. Seeing their faith, he forgave the paralytic’s sins. When those in attendance questioned in their hearts Jesus’ ability to forgive sins, Jesus demonstrates his power by healing the paralytic.

Even though Jesus was God in the flesh, he still desired to spend time with his father. Rising early in the morning he went to spend time in prayer. When the disciples try to get him to return to Capernaum, Jesus remains committed to his father’s mission and moves on to the next town to preach the gospel. Recognizing our weaknesses, how much more do we need that time alone with our heavenly father?

Unlike the other gospels, Mark begins right at the start of Jesus’ public ministry. Even though he himself was without sin, Jesus identifies with the sins of his people and is baptized; the Spirit of God descends upon him and the father confirms his identity. Though tempted, Jesus overcomes sin and begins to preach a message of repentance.

The prophet Elijah was despondent. He had just seen God move in power, but his life is threatened instead of responding in faith, he immediately flees – essentially quitting the ministry. Elijah runs to the same mountain where God appeared to Moses and hopes for God to show up in a great display of power again. God shows up. But in ways that are both undeserving and unexpected. God tells Elijah; I am working a plan that you can’t even see yet, you are not alone, live out your hope and trust in me!

After the craziness of Christmas comes a new year. Some see it as a chance to start fresh, write new resolutions and goals. Others can see it as a continuation of an already hard season. When we enter a season where our faith in God does not come easily, it’s important to know where to look to be reminded of the goodness and faithfulness of God. That place may not always be forward. Sometimes we need to look back at what the Lord has already done.

The Loss of Faith (vs. 1-4) Getting to a place where you can move into the unknown

While we only need to enter the waters of baptism one time, the principles carry forward throughout our lives. We all need to be continually reminded that we are a new creation in Jesus Christ, that our sins are forgiven and washed away forever by His shed blood. Jesus not only commanded us to "go and be baptized" but he willingly modeled this privilege as an example to us all.

In the Apostle Paul’s Acts 17 sermon at Mars Hill in Athens, he reaches the hearts and minds of his audience by using the non-Christian worldviews of the day as a platform from which to communicate the gospel. Today we find ourselves in a secret battle of ideas in which bad ideas penetrate our hearts and minds like viruses and give us unfulfilling answers in our search for love, healing, purpose, peace, and hope. Like Paul, we can learn to spot the fake worldviews of our day and reignite our passion to know and share the power of Jesus to meet our culture’s deepest needs.

A battle rages for our hearts and minds
It's a battle of ideas
Jesus Wins

As the gospel spread among the Gentiles, there was disagreement as to whether or not they were required to follow all of the Law of Moses. A conference was held in Jerusalem and it was determined that God’s grace was available to all and that no unnecessary restrictions should be placed on anyone. We too are always encouraged to pursue unity, even when we may disagree on minor points.

After dramatically healing a crippled man in Lystra, Jews came down from Antioch and Iconium and incited the crowds to turn against Paul. They stoned him and, thinking he was dead, dragged him out of the city. Though he had been severely hurt, Paul was not discouraged and boldly returned to the very cities that had opposed him to encourage the faithful. Finishing their journey, and despite the persecution, they rejoiced in all that God had done.

When opposition broke out against them, Paul quotes Isaiah 49:6 and turns his attention towards the Gentiles. This would become his pattern, as he would first proclaim the gospel to the Jews and then to the Gentiles. Though the persecution would intensify, they would continue to preach the gospel. When we are faithful to share the gospel, we too should expect fruitfulness and opposition in our work and trust God for the strength to continue.

Strict Jewish Christians back in Jerusalem criticize Peter for having associated with one such as Cornelius. Peter gives testimony to what God had done and all fell silent and glorified God. Persecution in Jerusalem had caused a great number of believers to be scattered and a church began in a city called Antioch. It was in this city that the disciples were first called Christians. When a famine was to strike Jerusalem, the new church in Antioch was quick to respond to their need.

Though Pharaoh’s heart remains hard, God continues to bring plagues so that Pharaoh “may know that I am the Lord in the midst of the earth” (Ex.8:22b), but as God increases the severity of the plagues, he begins to make a distinction between the Israelites and Egyptians. While not always visibly apparent, through Christ we have been made distinct from all peoples for we no longer live under the power of death.

Moved to Worship, Luke 7:36-50 Our love for Jesus is a response to how deeply forgiven we recognize ourselves to be. In this encounter there is a compare/contrast between two individuals. One, Simon the Pharisee doesn’t recognize his need to be forgiven thus his love for Jesus is non-existent, distant, cold. The other, the prostitute, recognize her deep sin but also the forgiveness of Jesus she loves recklessly.

JAN. 7/8, 2017 PARTNERS IN THE GOSPEL: DISCERNING, PHILIPPIANS 4:8–9 In Philippians 4:8-9, the apostle Paul points us to what should be our focus and encourages us to practice such things. 1. Think about these things (v. 8) a. Think true b. Think honorable c. Think just d. Think pure e. Think lovely f. Think commendable g. Think critically 2. Take action (v. 9)

MEDITATION AFTER SERMON Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is commendable, if there is any excellence, if there is anything worthy of praise, think about these things.

Think about what is true and honorable. Are you valuing truth more than opinion and personal gain? Ask God to help you focus on being honest and trustworthy.

Think about whatever is just. Are your motives unbiased and above reproach? Ask God to guide your thoughts and actions toward justice for all.

Think about whatever is pure. Are you caught up in impure habits? Ask God to draw your heart to virtue and away from indulgence.

Think about whatever is lovely. Are you delighted by the things that matter to the Lord? Ask God to help you pursue that which is beautiful in his eyes.

Think about whatever is commendable, excellent, worthy of praise. Is your reputation one that draws others in your community to Christ? Ask God to let your life to be an example of the Holy Spirit’s transforming power.

The presence of the living God in our lives should cause us to look and live differently than those who do not know him. He transforms our relationships and perspective and gives us security in uncertain times. This is clearly the goal as the apostle Paul exhorts two leading women to resolve a difference between them and teaches the church as a whole how to be free of anxiety. 1. Get along – Labor together (vs. 2-3) 2. Find joy in Christ – Always (v. 4) 3. Chill out – Be reasonable (v. 5) 4. Do not be anxious – Pray (vs. 6-7)
