B. They can see us.

· Greek = theotron = theater
C. Angels are curious creatures.
II. Angels are learning about God’s wisdom by observing us.
A. They are not omniscient
B. They are curious of what they don’t understand
2 major questions:
1. Why does Satan hate us believers so much?
Answer: We are a reminder of his embarrassing loss
2. Why are angels following us around?
Answer: They know nothing of the grace and wisdom of God.
Colossians 1:24-27

Angels are seen giving instruction and understanding
Do angels give us instruction and understanding in this present Church age?
The Spirit is much better than an angel.
We are complete in Christ, and so we need no instruction of an angel.

Listen in to today’s as Pastor CJ share a message about Removing the Leaven from Your House
Key Scripture: Exodus 12
- Leaven (Yeast) symbolized the power of sin in our lives

How can we keep the world out of our house?

- You can have a different morality than your children (Children will imitate your actions)
- A little bit of sin won’t hurt (it doesn’t take much to take root in your life)

Key Scripture: John 13:1-13

- We like the depiction of God the warrior king but our God is a foot washing God too
- Peter was quick to say that Jesus couldn’t wash his feet missing the spiritual significance to what Jesus was doing
- Peter comes around and says to wash all of him, but still misses that it is more about a spiritual cleansing than a physical cleansing
- Jesus washed everyone’s feet including Judas showing an important lesson to even serve those we might consider them an enemy
- Only through humility can God shape us into who we need to be

Join us today as Pastor CJ shares a message titled Taking the Stew Out of Stewardship
Key Scripture: Genesis 39:1-6
There approx. 2,350 verses in the bible related to finance. Second only to Love.
“Steward”: A steward is someone who manages the resources of another to accomplish the goals of the owner.
Three biblical financial stewardship realities:
-
God owns all your money,
-
God enables you to earn all your money
-
You have a responsibility to manage God’s money to accomplish his purposes.
There are three truths good stewards live by:
-
Owners have rights; stewards have responsibilities.
-
Second, every spending decision is a spiritual decision.
-
The primary requirement for a steward is faithfulness.
Join us today as Pastor CJ shares a message titled Better Together: Worshiping Together
-
God wants a love relationship with us
-
Worship = expressing love to God
6 was to tell God that we love Him
- Singing to Him (Worship)
- It’s a heart thing
- Psalms 147:6
- Make a joyful noise (not necessary in tune)
- Psalms 137
- If you feel like you have lost your song, it is probably time to push in and worship that much harder
- You can worship God wherever you are
- Talking to Him (Prayer)
- One of the key ingredient in a relationship is communication
- It is something you you have to work at all the time
- It is not a take/duty…he wants a relationship
- Psalms 116
- Listening to Him (Prayer too)
- Prayer shouldn’t be one sided
- When you listen to someone you are saying
- “You matter to me”
- “You are important to me”
- “I value what you have to say”
- Prayer should be 50/50 talking/listening
- At any given time there are several radio station that are bouncing through a room, but without a the right equipment you won’t be able to hear them
- God is always speaking but we aren’t always listening
- The devices that we need to use are
- His word (Bible)
- Experiences
- Trials
- Other people
- impressions/inspirations
- John 10
- when you think that God is speaking to you say “Speak, for your servant is listening” (1 Samuel 3:10)
- Publicly Identifying with Him
- Do you hide your Christianity at home, at work, at the store, or anywhere?
- If Christianity were to become illegal, would there be enough evidence to convict you?
- It is like a guy proposed to his fiance that they keep their marriage a secret from everyone forever
- If you trust God he will prove himself over and over
- Committed to Him
- How much you are present at church, small groups, etc can be an indication of your commitment
- It’s not that you can’t ever miss……….but what is your priority
- Are you committed even when it is not convenient
- Roman 12
- Giving to Him (Stewardship)
- Money is the nearest thing to most peoples hearts
- Your ability to let it go can reveal what is in your heart
- Are you willing to let lose what is most important to you and give it to God
- Giving test your sincerity
Join us today as Seth and Lisa Louton from Asia Pacific Media Ministry shares the message.
Key Scripture:
John 9
- Are we asking the right Question
- when we see bad in the world what question are we asking
- Ask “How can the work of God be done in/through this?”

- Are we hung up on the Method vs miracle
- do we get hung up on him spitting in the dirt and putting it on his eyes
- instead focus on the fact that he was healed
- Tell your story
- When we have an encounter with God we will come back looking different
- ALL of our stories as christian start with “The man named Jesus”
- no one can ever take our story away
- We have to make the right choice
- First choice is to follow Jesus
- What type of Christian will you be

- I need people to watch out for me through life. Philippians 2:4 You need someone to encourage you, because we all have blind spots. (‘Care’-frontation) – Do you have anybody that cares for your soul? Hebrews 13:1 We should care about each other, Ecclesiastes 4:12
- I need others to wait with me and weep with me. I need someone to go with me in the hard places of life.
- I need others to witness with me. I need someone to help me do the most important thing I’ll ever do which is share my faith with other people. We have to intentionally be …
- Genuinely known
- Lovingly supported
- And honestly challenged.

Join us today as Pastor CJ share a message entitled When the Crowd Becomes a Church Part 3.
We Need to Be Lovingly Supported
Christianity is not a solo sport.
In a culture where we so quickly say “I’m fine” we are carrying things we were never meant to carry alone.
Galatians 6:2-5 (ESV)
2 Bear one another’s burdens, and so fulfill the law of Christ.
3 For if anyone thinks he is something, when he is nothing, he deceives himself.
4 But let each one test his own work, and then his reason to boast will be in himself alone and not in his neighbor.
5 For each will have to bear his own load.
Difference between load and burden?
Burden – Better translated from the original Greek “Heavy Load”
Load – Better translated from the original Greek “Light Load”
Don’t be a burden/leech to other; carry your own load.
BUT when it is too much for you, we are in a relationship together and we need to lean on each other
We Need To Be Honestly Challenged
Confession isn’t just for Catholic
We have to confess to God and to others.
James 5:16 (ESV)
16 Therefore, confess your sins to one another and pray for one another, that you may be healed. The prayer of a righteous person has great power as it is working.
Today it’s easier to fake it than be honestly challenged
Shame is one one satin’s greatest tools in our lives
Satin is the accuser of the brethren.
Jesus is our advocate.
God is going to continue to put you in Challenging Relationships because you need it.
Will you be genuinely known, lovingly supported, and honestly challenged?
Join us today as Pastor CJ share a message entitled When the Crowd Becomes a Church Part 2.
- The problem with the Church becoming a crowd:
- It becomes something we go to instead of something we are
- your walk with Christ becomes a private one (vs a personal one)
- To become a community, we need to be
- Genuinely known
- being anonymous breeds sin
- who is helping hold you accountable?
- who is your community?
- Join us next week to wrap it up with
- Being lovingly supportive
- Being honestly challenged
- Genuinely known
Join us today as Pastor CJ share a message entitled When the Crowd Becomes a Church.
- The Church as changed since the advent of the automobile
- Used to be that Churches were small and close net because people would always go to the closest Church
- As automobiles became more popular, people stopped shopping at the Mom and Pop stores because they could more stuff, more verity, and cheaper prices at the big box store down the road a little ways
- The same thing has happened with Churches; people would no long go to a church because it was close but instead go to the one “they like”
- The problem this creates is that if they don’t like something they won’t stay to try and fix it instead they just move on to the next bigger better box
- It’s not JUST the Pastors responsibility to build the community; the whole church body is responsible
- What are you doing to combat the church crowd mentality and help build the church community mentality
- Who will you reach out to this week to genuinely get to know, who will be lovely supportive, and who will honestly challenge you in your relationship with God
Join us today as Pastor CJ shares with us his Back to Church Sunday message entitled 5 Reasons why the Church exists and why you should be part of it.
Key Scripture: Acts 2:41-47
Acts 2:41-47 New Living Translation (NLT)
41 Those who believed what Peter said were baptized and added to the church that day—about 3,000 in all.
42 All the believers devoted themselves to the apostles’ teaching, and to fellowship, and to sharing in meals, and to prayer.
43 A deep sense of awe came over them all, and the apostles performed many miraculous signs and wonders. 44 And all the believers met together in one place and shared everything they had. 45 They sold their property and possessions and shared the money with those in need. 46 They worshiped together at the Temple each day, met in homes for the Lord’s Supper, and shared their meals with great joy and generosity — 47 all the while praising God and enjoying the goodwill of all the people. And each day the Lord added to their fellowship those who were being saved.
- Membership: Joining with like minded believers in fellowship
Acts 2:42 2. Magnification: Magnifying the God who made us
Acts 2:46-47 3. Maturity: Lead us to spiritual maturity
Acts 2:42 4. Ministry: Prepare us for ministry both full time and lay ministry
Acts 2:43-45 5. Missions
Acts 2:47
Join us today as Pastor CJ shares with us a message entitled The Attitude of Ownership.
Key Scripture: 1 Chronicles 29:13-16
1 Chronicles 29:13-16 English Standard Version (ESV)
13 And now we thank you, our God, and praise your glorious name.
14 “But who am I, and what is my people, that we should be able thus to offer willingly? For all things come from you, and of your own have we given you.15 For we are strangers before you and sojourners, as all our fathers were. Our days on the earth are like a shadow, and there is no abiding.[a] 16 O Lord our God, all this abundance that we have provided for building you a house for your holy name comes from your hand and is all your own.
The reasons we MUST believe that what we own actually belongs to God is because of…..
- The “Golden Rule” –
*He who owns the gold makes the rules* 2. The “Praise Factor” –
He who owns the gold gets the praise
You can’t do ANYTHING without using something God has created.
This idea that God owns all our possessions is a critical measure of our spiritual maturity.
DAVID SAW HIS OFFERING AS A TEST OF THE HEART
Join us today as Pastor CJ shares with us a message entitled Mighty Mouse.
Key Scriptures:
Isaiah 53:5
Psalm 103:2-4
Bible says God is…
1) Mighty to save.
-
Romans 1:16
-
Salvation brings us power for…
– Peace (Philippians 4:7)
– Security (1 Peter 1:4-5)
– Service (Acts 1:8)
2) Mighty to deliver.
-
1 John 1:9
-
2 types of snares
– Ones that maim/kill
– Ones that capture
-
2nd type is the one used by Satan most often
-
makes you feel like everything is ok and you get the “prize” until you realize that you can’t get out
-
One of the keys is to recognize when Satan has setup a trap
-
most of time we can trace temptation back to 4 things (remember HALT)
– Hungry – Are you hungry?
– Angry – Are you Angry about something?
– Lonely – Have you been spending too much time away from spouse/family?
– Tired – Have you take time to rest / Have you spent the time with the Lord that you should be?
3) Mighty to heal.
-
Sickness is not part of God’s plan
-
brought about by sin entering into the world
-
God can use sickness to draw people to him
-
How should we deal with sickness (Isaiah 53:5)
– Address the sin first (James 5: 14-15)
– Go to God first and pray for healing
– Go to the doctor
– Even if the doctor is the one who facilitates your healing…give GOD the praise
– Even if healing doesn’t come on earth…realize that healing will ultimately come in heaven
