    <title>Extravagant Expressions</title>
    <description><![CDATA[Luke, the doctor, talks about Worship as an expression from a believer to our Creator; more than singing songs. Love grows over time. With Jesus we find out who we really are. In ver. 36, Jesus is at dinner with the Simon the Pharisee when a woman washes Jesus's feet with her tears. Jesus provides the parable of the canceled debt. Your sins are forgiven because her faith had saved her, Go in peace.  Matt 5:6 "Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they shall be filled." 

The Pharisee would have been an expert in Moses's law. The tables would have been low; Jesus would be reclines with his feet behind him. The town would have seen her as sinful--deserving of death. There was a traditional greeting for visitors, that was not given to Jesus. The lady was nameless, not Mary Madeline. What drove the woman to intrude on this party, being shameful and completely rejected? She had to get to Him.

Expressed in humility. "And behold , a woman in the city who was a sinner..." ver.37. She risked everything to come to the one who gave life, she came in humility; no longer want to be distant from her savior. Being humble and broken is not a place you get to, but a place from where you begin, starting by dropping to our knees. Humbleness is  believing we are hopeless without Him.  In her brokenness, she was free to be who she really is. "Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness for they shall be filled." Matt 5:6 "Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the Kingdom of Heaven." Matt. 5:3; "Blessed are those who mourn for they shall be comforted."  Matt. 5:4; The lady is an example of these beatitudes.

Extravagant in Giving ... when she knew that Jesus sat at the table in the Pharisee's home, brought an alabaster flask of fragrant oil. v.37; The alabaster jar of oil was probably her life savings; a critical tool of her trade. She it gave all to Jesus, without reservation; she poured it out. A woman would never let her hair down  in public--very shameful and humiliating, but she used her hair to wash Jesus's feet. All of us are sinners, saved by grace.  What is the debt of this kind of love to whom much is forgiven? Extravagant expressions look like a waste till you know who it is for. Matt 5:8 Blesses are the pure at heart, for they shall see God. Where are we in the context of this story?]]></description>

    <title>Satisfied with Rich and Fattening Food</title>
    <description><![CDATA[At the time David scribed Psalms 63, he was struggling; his life was turned upside down. The whole world was out to get him. Everything that could go wrong did gone wrong, but he praised God. Saul was trying to kill him; his son, Absalom was trying to kill him; he was hiding in the wilderness, living in caves with little food or water. Yet David's response was "My lips will praise You." If it is us, we would feel like praise God, we want to cry.  David sang "I Will (to) Rejoice" because "You, God, are my God." David feel this joy because he had a relationship with God: beholding God's power and  glory; His love is better than life, focused on the steadfast love of God. David's circumstances did not impact his life because his attention was on God.

When we focused on God, our future is secured. David worshiped God. Despite our situation, God is still on His throne. We experience this through our worship; a worship that raises us out of our situations, builds up our hearts that seeks God. David composed Psalm 63 to be completely directed toward God: "I'm seeking You." Worship starts in the heart. We should be hungry for God, Earnestly: longing; clinging; seeking; and thirsting for God -- can not last a day without Him. David's whole being longed for God. Without God, he suffered the symptoms of dehydration. The hope of salvation comes from a Heart of Worship. Only then will we be satisfied with rich and fattening food.]]></description>

    <title>Be Mindful of Your Heart	</title>
    <description><![CDATA[Our goal is to make worship an integral part of our lives. Worship can be a struggle for some of us; not a problem for others. We shall become more of a worshiping body, worship with our heart, hands, knees, and feet. We attempt to dictate to God how we want to worship. All worship comes with a promise. Today's promise is rest, when God is in control. Psalms 95: "Oh come, Let us sing to the Lord" or for some of us make a joyful noise. 

Four things to take from these verses: 

1) A call to an ever deepening worship (vv. 1,2,6). Three different Hebrew words  for "Come", a physical movement: 1- a Command, 2 - Meeting some one, 3 - Entering into a covenant. These three words are presented in Psalms 95 as a progression of movement. He is calling us to do more.

2) The God who is worthy: (vv.3-5) There is no God higher; he is the King. 

3) Be Mindful of Your Heart (vv.7-10) As you are grow in worship watch out for your heart, it may not be right. This is for "Today when you hear His voice". He want's us to check our hearts as of "Do not harden your heart as at Massa and Maribah"; there was not enough water to support the Israelis they crossed the desert to the promise land. They did not believe they could make that journey so they doubted that God cared for them. They doubted that God could provide; They lived in fear of their circumstances.  They were making their own plans for their future. Checking your heart with regard to worship is based on the totality of your lives. If we are living in the flesh, then we are missing in our worship. But He will provide for you. Perfect love cast out fear, and nothing can separate us from God's perfect love. He has directed my path. 

4) The Promise of Rest (vv. 7,11) Grow in your relationship with God. He knows a whole lot more than you do. When we live that way, God will bring the rest. Today, if you hear His voice then come and worship God. ]]></description>

    <title>Excel Still More</title>
    <description><![CDATA[We were given a scripture a year ago that we are the light from the city on a hill. It is the perpetuation of a word that directs us as to who we are. I Thessalonians 4:1-2 notes "…that you may excel still more." The Thessalonians were walking with Jesus, and were doing it well, but Paul had to exhort them to "excel still more." We need to extend ourselves beyond our normal efforts in becoming more like Jesus. Chapter 4, verse 1 & 2: we are doing very well.  

New football movie about Steve Gleason, who played with total abandonment. He had two kinds of glory: a blocked punt that had taken the roof off the Super Dome, That changed the whole city's attitude. The second glory: he we was diagnosed with ALS Lou Gehrig's disease and he retired in shock. His wife became pregnant and he had to embrace a new person in his life as he was dyeing. He decided to film the remainder of his life for his new child. He made a decision to tackle the disease by excelling still more. Made him think about all the others who had ALS disease. He was able to get changes in Medicare to allow for others to receive the communication system he was using. This was raw humanity, trying to love, how to absorb the pain, and how to survive day to day. 

We are built upon the good and positive things out of the Word of God, but how do we out do our selves, being constantly aware of our own limitations? We are not blocked from our own pain or limitations. Paul wrote "Continue Still More" stretching yourselves beyond your limitations. This action is personal; a heart issue. God wants more people to be saved, but it is our heart's choice. Our heart will take us above meritocracy. It's between us and God. Ecclesiastes 12:14 is about going up and beyond the minimum requirements. Matt 5:14-16 Build on the good that we have already done. Continue to press on toward the goal, not looking at our past. ]]></description>

    <title>Prophetic Words</title>
    <description><![CDATA[Happy New Year - What does the Lord have to say to you in 2017. Johnathan Edwards stated "task of every generation is to discover the direction the Lord is moving and move in that same direction, in loving obedience". The direction we want to go most likely is not the direction He wants us to go. Plant ourselves in the eternal living Word; being ground in the word and in Christ. Psalm 32, My hiding place...proclaiming shouts of deliverance directed out of slavery into the promise land. God is looking at us. 

Prophecy is part of the early church. Ephesians 2:19-20 We are no longer aliens... build on the foundation of the apostles and the prophets. Prophecy doesn't create anything new or adds to God's stated position; but based on the foundation of the apostles' and prophet's  teaching. 1 Thessalonians 5:19-21 Do not despises prophecies, but test the spirit. Seek after prophecy. 1 Cor 14: The one who prophecies up-builds, encourages,  and consuls; does not point our sins. God's word is what is true. 

What do you do with prophetic words: 1) Habakkuk 2:2-3: write the vision down so that you may run with it. If it is not written down you don't know where you don't know where you are going. 2) Hold it close to your heart to draw you closer to God.  3) Ask for discernment, as to what it means. It doesn't mean what you think it means. Ephesian 1 Pray for a spirit of wisdom and revelation. God wants to give us a whole lot more of what we don't have, transferring us to a different way of living. 4) Test everything. Just because someone prophesies to you, doesn't mean that it will be. Our job is to test the words said over us 5) Resist the temptation to make the prophecy to happen or helping it along; it will happen by grace, not by works. 6) Prophetic words are signs along the road the God is leading you. All the roads lead to Jesus. How do I become more like Jesus, so the vision of my life becomes more like Jesus. ]]></description>

    <title>The Light of the Life of Men</title>
    <description><![CDATA[Mathew 2:1-21, is the story of the three kings, and how Herod the King got it wrong, but the Magi got it right. When the Magi ask king Herod where the King of the Jews was being born, Herod became furious. He spent his whole life trying to control outcomes. Even had two of his sons put to death to protect his legacy. Jesus was born only five miles away form Herod's palace. Herod died a painful death a few years after Jesus's birth. The Magi got it right. They traveled thousands of miles seeking Him, bringing gifts to honor the King. 

Find time within the net week to worship Him; He is less than only five miles away.  Don't miss the light of Jesus shining in the dark bringing life to man.]]></description>

    <title>Reason for the Season - Revisited</title>
    <description><![CDATA[Remember when you found out about Santa Claus? That discovery may have rocked your world. Christmas as a child is self centered. We start out expecting gifts from Santa, then at some point transition to looking for what the Lord has for us. Christmas gets busy to the point we forget what Christmas is about. Do we stop to appreciate the meaning of the story of Christmas? Do we consider the reason for the season, or what God is trying to tell us in the Christmas story?

John 1:1-5,9 The Word is God, what was the condition of the world in the beginning before the light? The world is dark before they receive Jesus. John 3:16-17; God gave His son so that the world might be saved. Most important to Him is to love us in a tangible practical expression. John 1:14; Jesus's responded was to come down to be with us when things get dark.

The Holy Spirit's response, Matt 1:18-20: If we don't believe that God has come for us, then we are that person He is looking for. Jesus's mission is to came, seek and save the lost. Matt 1:21 He will save His people from their sins, to bring light to the dark places. Our response: John 1:12-13. We are ready to receive our worldly gifts; are we ready to receive God's gift and to believe. We confuse love without speaking the truth; love without truth is sentimentalism, not love.

Good News: Luke 2:10-11 We bring you Good News, not about our lives, but Christ the Lord is born. John 1:12 All who receive Him become children of God. Luke 2:14 He gave us peace, the absence of strife, that passes all understanding. Luke 2:14 Peace on whom His favor rests. If we live His Way, then the problems within our lives are mitigated. Stress, guilt, fear, shame, sin should no longer hold a places in our lives. God loved us, He sent His Son for our pleasing. We need to remember to receive and believe. Good news is that Christ the lord has come to save us, Receive Gods Peace that passes understanding,]]></description>

    <title>Secret to Joy</title>
    <description><![CDATA[In a Nehemiah passage, the people were weeping from hearing The Word for the first time in generations: "Take heart, the Lord is our strength." So what are the reasons for the Christmas blues? The biblical secret for having joy at Christmas are based on God's promise fulfilled on Christmas morning. When God gives you a promise it is only the beginning. We lose sight of Gods blessings due to personal issues such as: not being thankful for what we have; stress during the holiday season; loneliness; grieving from the loss of a loved one, first holiday without that loved one; family drama around the holidays;  an obnoxious family member or holiday guest; going through or having been through a devoice; unreasonable expectations in trying to please someone; Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD), due to less daylight. 

Jesus is the source and reason for all joy (1 John 1). John is symbolic and imaged based, not to be compared to Paul's writings. John refers to Jesus as: the word of light;  "From the beginning";  Made manifest as a human; the light in the midst of darkness, the Life; the hands that have touched; the Son.  All these are references to Jesus in the book of 1 John.  Life is not measured in the length of time but in the quality. Eternal is the degree quality of life not quantity of time. 

We know the truth of Jesus because of the joy we experience through Him. Simply thinking about Jesus does not mean we know Him. 

The secret to joy is in helping others to know Him; that we tell others of Jesus so that "our joy may be made complete." ]]></description>

    <title>Four Things to Think About</title>
    <description><![CDATA[We all know people that need to be saved. To work toward that goal, there are four things we can think about:
1) You should have a burden on our hearts for individuals. Romans 10:1 "Brethren, my heart’s desire and prayer to God for Israel is that they may be saved." Normally prayers only get prayed for someone only when we remember. When you have a burden from God you will constantly be praying for someone He directs you to pray for. 
2) Pray for an opportunity to approached your  Colossians 4:3-4 "...meanwhile praying also for us, that God would open to us a door for the word, to speak the mystery of Christ..." 
3) Ephesuabs 1 17-18 Pray for God to prepare hearts: "that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give to you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of Him, 18 the eyes of your understanding being enlightened; that you may know what is the hope of His calling, what are the riches of the glory of His inheritance in the saints..." 
4) 2 Thessalonians 3:1 pray that the Word that they hear will generate a groundswell. 

Micky Mantle was the consummate athlete, but he had a fear of death that drove him to alcoholism; he was crude and unresponsive to family and friends. He didn't feel that he mattered. A NY Yankee team mate, Bobby Richardson, was a believer and wanted all his team mates to come to the lord. Bobby asked a preacher to give a message to the  1964 Yankee's, Billy Deyoli was the preacher. The Bible said the problem is sin; we are separated from God because of sin; But Jesus is the answer.  God put a burden on Bobby's heart to invited Micky to the Lord. Twenty years latter, Micky called Bobby for prayer and received Christ as his savior. Bobby took the opportunity to plant a seed that didn't sprout till years latter. God considers Bobby Richardson the Yankee super hero. Who is your friend? Who do you have a burden for?]]></description>

    <title>Friends Day</title>
    <description><![CDATA[A story about the 99 cent Christmas tree; the excitement of receiving a great item for minimum  purchase price, only to find out that it wasn't worth it.
Jesus preaching in a house where a group of friends dropped their invalid friend through the roof to be healed. Related story of building a sunroof in an old barn with the father being scared to death to see his children on a dangerous roof. After Jesus healed the invalid who picked up his mat and carried it out through the crowd he had to. The friends must have been ecstatic; a crazy moment. This Black Friday how crazy will you get for a deal? What lengths would you go through to bring your friend(s) to Jesus? How do you get past the fears of witnessing for Jesus? Would you pick-up your friends and carry them to Jesus? Do not underestimate the power of  an invitation to Christ. We will be praying for all these people for all of these people.]]></description>

    <title>A Future and a Hope</title>
    <description><![CDATA[We know that God is there and is coming for us. The minor profits tend to point out a lot of our sins, but keep reading till the end to receive God's promise. The profits always end with a promise, as is true with Hoses 11. 

What is Promise? 1) Romans 4:13-14 -  A Promise is realized through belief and comes through the righteousness of faith. The whole nation of Israel was blessed through Abraham's belief. Promises do not come to us by obeying, but by believing. It maybe easier to obey then to believe. 2) Romans 4:16 - A Promise is an act of grace. Only He can bring about His promise. Grace is when we come to the realization that the more we work, the farther we are removed from the Promise. Only He can make it happen. 3) Romans 4:17-18. A Promise brings hope against hope. Promise requires death -- there is no way this can happen, but God's Promise will come to past. 

John 2-12; Jesus has changes the narrative. Human hope is "works", but God's Promise is without works. John lays out seven signs that Jesus performs through his miracles. The first miracle was to change water into wine; the last sign was the rising from the dead. This is in contrast to Moses 7 plagues or signs. But Jesus changed the narrative to bring blessing life, promise, freedom, and hope.]]></description>

    <title>Disciplined for Good	</title>
    <description><![CDATA[Hosea 11 is the 1 Corinthians of the Old Testament; a story of God's relationship with His people. He established the Israel as his people the same way He does for you and I. Israel had not been a proper lady, as they had turned away from God to do it on their own. Self direction control is a great temptation. 

We are all primed to become disciplined, but His anger is only for a moment; His grace is for ever. In our lives, being disciplined was not a fun time, as it was much different when us older folks were kids. So now we have a wrong impression regarding God's discipline which is an expression of His love. In Hosea 11:5. God's discipline is intentional. "Swards will flash in their city to put and end to their plan". Still Israel only trusted in themselves, not God. "God would never bring judgment upon us." God had to show Israel that they were not self-reliant, He goes for the heart. 

Hebrews 12:6-10 The Lord only disciplines those He loves. Being a son of God, there is a good chance you will be chastised. If we are not disciplined then we are just an illegitimate child. His discipline is for Good. He loves us so much, and want's for us to  receive our inheritance, eternal life with Him. Israel gave up their sovereignty out fear of the Syrians; what are we giving up because of our fears? 

God's discipline is restoring, and more. Our latter glory will be greater than our first. He will restore and more. Jeremiah 29:4-7 is a key as to how to live: God spoke to the exiles, whom He has disciplined, instructing them to build up the welfare of their new country's, Babylon. Then they will find their own welfare. Seek your welfare where you are. When the Lord disciplines, He goes straight to our hearts to attack our pride. There is a very good likelihood we are being disciplined today. If not, we soon will be.]]></description>

    <title>God, I Want More of You</title>
    <description><![CDATA[Guest Speaker: Surekha & Chrishani Hulugalle
In the book of Jude 17 God is calling His church to be in the Spirit. Our we persevering in the Spirit? Do we believe in His word? In Verse 17 we are to  reminded to believe the prophecies of the Apostles. We are to remember Gods words to us. He wants us to walk in those words. The devil wants you to forget His words. We need to record words prayed over us, though  it may take years before a word for us comes to past. Example being the story of Joseph being sold into slavery, taken to Egypt. There are people who's personal mission is to appose us. Go back to the prophetic words that He has spoken over us. God want's us to be people who are full of His Holy Spirit; being full of the Spirit, building ourselves up in the Holy Spirit. We have a responsibility to continue to build ourselves up. How do we stand when good is now considered evil? By praying in the spirit. Do not be ashamed to speaking in tongues. The more we pray in tongues the more He will establish His song in us. When we get too busy, we are moving away from God. Only God's mercy will snatch us out of the  eternal fire. God is calling His church to come back to Him. We need more of Him. It begins by us saying Yes Lord! Then we will see a new revival.]]></description>

    <description><![CDATA[God is bringing a new song to each of us and He has been singing that new song over us before we were born, from eternity. 

Hosea 2: God led the Israelite out of Egypt to the promise land; less like a father treats his son, but more like how a husband treats his bride. "You no longer call me Bail (a task master), but you will call me Father". The cords of kindness were actually chains around the necks of the Israelite being led off in captivity, each tied to the captive in front and behind in a long string. The oxen were led by a double yoked, but God's love is not like this yoke. God is telling us that we are not oxen. In Matt 11:28 Christ said: "Come to me all you who are yoked, and I will give you rest." He removes the yokes of our burdens.

 "... and I bent down to them and I fed them."  God sent His Son down to us and fed us. A Gentle Farmer Ephesians 2:6-7 ]]></description>

    <title>The Perfect Father</title>
    <description><![CDATA[Hosea 11 is the 1 Corinthians 11 of the old testament. In Chapter 11:3 Ephraim is being taught to walk. A reference to Ephraim is not a term of endearment who insisted on worshiping God on their own terms. Ephraim refers to Duet 1:30-33; "I carried you as a man carries his son; teaching your how to walk." If we let God teach us how to walk, He will lead us to good and pleasant places. 

In Exodus 15:22-25: He  "took them up by their arms", but three days after Israel was delivered from slavery, they were complaining. Exodus 15:25-26 They didn't know that I healed them. First time God stated "it is time to obey." Before this God only provided Israel with promises. But promise always precedes obedience. First God, our father has to teach us to walk the right way. 

Our earthly fathers are not as good as our heavenly Father. Our perfect father is found in Hosea 11; God wants to fill in the gaps where our earthly fathers fell short. We may have a brokenness in our soul that can only be replaced by our Good Good God. Romans 5:5- Now hope does not disappoint, because the love of God has been poured out in our hearts by the Holy Spirit who was given to us. ]]></description>

    <title>I Am Not a Frog</title>
    <description><![CDATA[Open with the story about the Princess and the Frog, where the princess didn't upholds her part of an agreement till her dad insistent she should be honest. After the kiss, the frog was transformed into a prince and he and the princess lived happily ever after, or did they? Where are they now? In Hosea 11:1, we have been discussing Gods unconditional love, but the more God called the Israelis the more they tried to leave Him. They continued to worshiped Bail and complain, regardless what God had provided for them.

We have been talking about Gomer the prostitute whom God instructed Hosea to marry. Gomer was not a faithful wife so Hosea left. What was Gomer thinking? After being rescued by a profit of God, she returned to her old life of prostitution? Makes no sense looking at this from the outside, but from inside, there is a different perspective.  Why would we choose to live our life in confusion, like the frogs, when God has given us a new identity? We behave in the way we see ourselves. When we look in the mirror, we see a guilty person, and all the bad, not how God sees us. We still see ourselves as the frog and not the new prince. We don't behave to become something, we behave because we are something; The day we become a Christian, we are a new creation. But Satan continues to attack our vulnerabilities, causing us to compare ourselves to our neighbor who lives much better. We are too sensitive regarding how others see us, The only thing that matters is how God sees us and that our identity is with Him. I am not a frog, I am His.]]></description>

    <title>But God ...</title>
    <description><![CDATA[There are four stags that God takes us through a process to become like Jesus, the first is Love. God's goal in our lives is not just to make us more like Jesus, but that we may experience  the relationship that Jesus is apart of with the Father. God is rooting and establishing us in His unconditional grace, acceptance and belonging. Not just an idea or doctrine to be understood, but an experienced to be lived. Few of us experience the love of God as a reality. Ephesians 3:19, know the love of Christ that surpasses knowledge. Experience surpasses knowledge. We need to live in His love and no longer live in fear; no longer is fear our master as we experience his love. 

Hosea 11 is the best love chapter in the old testament; "I led them with cords of kindness and bands of love... But my people have turned around away from Me?... How can I give you up?... I will not execute my burning anger." When Israel was a child I loved him. We see grace in this half sentence. Reference Deuteronomy 7:7-9; Because the Lord loves you he has redeemed you out of Egypt; spoken to Moses to the people. He chooses to love you. Psalm 44:1-3, Your delighted in them, yet there was nothing in Israel that was deserving with grace. Kind of like loving a baby; there is nothing about a new born  that is delightful, but we choose to love that child.

The book of Hosea is an allegory from the relationship of Hosea and Gomer, a prostitute; a representation of God's love for Israel. God Asked Hosea to exhibit grace to someone not deserving of grace, to take Gomer as your wife. Hosea chose to love her, have children with her. Like God chose Israel, even though there was not much about Israel that was deserving of grace.  The point: There is nothing about us that is deserving of grace, and there is much about us that is undeserving of grace. Ephesians 2:4-4 two words "But God...made us alive with Christ by grace we have been saved." Heb 4:16; "May we come with confidence to the throne of grace, that we may receive mercy and find grace in our time of  need." We have chosen to be loved.]]></description>

    <title>For Your Financial Freedom</title>
    <description><![CDATA[This morning we are talking about money and God's heart for us about money. A uncomfortable subject to present. In Leviticus Abraham was suppose to offer Isaac as a burnt offering, fully consumed. On one hand we  how God blesses us and on the other we are constantly worried about our finances. Realized that we object to giving to the church because they just want your money, then realize we have no  problem give to Starbucks who really only wants your money.

The top five worries identified from an international German survey from 22 countries: 5) The amount of work to get done in the day; 4) Not having time to do the things they want to do; 3) Not having enough sleep; 2) The pleasure of other people to get work done for money; 1) Not having enough money to live on.

The top five worries for people with a net worth of $1mm or more: 5) Kids; 4) Economic and terrorist threats from the outside world; 3) The amount of money they have to live on; 2) Not getting enough sleep; 1) The amount of work to get done in a day. Doesn’t matter if your rich or pour, the same top issues effect us all. We haven unhealthy relationship with money.

God's wish for you are: 1) We will have freedom from anxiety Matt 6:31-33. We should freedom from stress for the need for money. 2) Mathew 19:16-22, Freedom from slavery that comes from money. 3) The freedom from the myth of independence, Deuteronomy 8:12-18. ""Beware lest you say in your heart, "My power and the might of my hand have gotten me this wealth".

Jesus told the rich young ruler to give all his wealth away to the poor and follow Him. What we do is give up to the point where it doesn't hurt. God wants us to give beyond where it hurts, just as He did.]]></description>

    <title>Is To Be Like Jesus</title>
    <description><![CDATA[The Bible has over 2,350 verses dealing with money and/or possessions. 15 percent of Jesus's statements dealt with money, portraying God's heart for us concerning our money--to be like Jesus. God is the first, the greatest, and the most generous Giver. John 3:16 - God Gave His Son. Mark 10:45 - Jesus gave His life as a ransom. 2 Corinthians 1:21-22 - He gave us the holy Spirit as a guarantee of our  inheritance. 

When we give, we are being like Him. Could God afford to give His Son?, No. So we should be able to give in our most difficult times. In Genesis, God gave Adam the breath of life. When we run out of money before we run out of month, Jesus tells us "to give". Whenever we give, we are like Jesus. God's heart for us is four us to become givers in the worst of times. Let each of us look to the best interest of other, and have the same attitude as Jesus.]]></description>

    <title>A New Song</title>
    <description><![CDATA[Isiah 42:9 Behold the former things will come to past and new things will spring forth. There are a lot of things in life that are just comfortable, even within our christian walk. But God has new things he wants us to do. God wants to tell us about these new things, but we are trapped in the old things. If only we would Sing to the Lord a New Song.

Rockefeller Center monument to man, with Atlas holding the weight of the world on his shoulders; straining to hold the world up. Just across the square is St. Peters Cathedral, with a small statue of Baby Jesus hold the world in His hand with little or no effort. God can take the weight of the world off our shoulders, and hold it for us. But then we walk out of the presence of God and run back to the world to face the weight of the world once again.

So we desperately need that New Song to take us out of this world and allow for God to take our burdens into His hands and off of our backs.]]></description>

    <title>Christmas 850 Years Before Christ	</title>
    <description><![CDATA[Ruth is the story of Christmas 850 years before Christ--a story of a woman who listened to God and move to Israel away from her family. Naomi's husband and two sons die leaving Naomi with daughter-in-law in a strange land. Ruth's sister-in-law returns to her home land, but Ruth stays with Naomi  "I will go where you go, I will go; Your God will be my God". Ruth was born again at that moment, a stranger in the land, not a Jew. They discover a righteous man, Boaz, who owned a field. As a poor woman, Ruth was able to glean from Boaz's field. Boaz finds favor in Ruth, a foreigner because of her submission to Naomi, and extends that favor to her. Boaz was a righteous man, an example of Christ. 

Boaz executes the rights of Redeem, purchasing the land that was held by Naomi's deceased husband. Ruth asked for Boaz to spread his wings over her, to be her redeemer. Boaz presented the redemption plan to the family who should have had first choice to redeem the land, but it came with Naomi and Ruth. Other family members turned down the offer, so Boaz received the land along with taking Ruth as his wife. God will bless Boaz beyond measure with a child, Obed, direct linage to Jessy, the father of David--thus begins the Christmas story. There will always be a descendant from David to sit on David's throne. But David himself said "don't look at me as your  redeemer, but look to my redeemer, the Lord". The Jews are still waiting for that redeemer, but we know that He has already come. Boaz was the redeemer for that moment, but Jesus is the Redeemer for now. Story of a child that reaches from 850 BC all the way to the birth of Christ. Boaz demonstrated the same characteristics as Jesus. Instructs us to be kind and compassionate to our family. This is what discipleship and our Faith Path is about.]]></description>

    <title>Favoritism</title>
    <description><![CDATA[We all have been subject to favoritism at some point in our lives. Chosen by dad for a trip to California, only to experience an inconvenient trip. Was subject to a perceived unjust action from a mother who was the opposite of dad's favoritism. Geneses 25 is a story of favoritism, the account of Isaac, his wife Rebekah and their twin sons Esau and Jacob. Esau sold his birthright to Jacob for a bowl of soup. Rebekah preferred Jacob because he was a mama's boy; Isaac preferred Esau because he was a man's man. Isaac attempt to give his birthright to Esau, but Rebekah intervened and put her son Jacob in a dangerous situation. Esau felt he was deserving of both the birthright and his father's blessing. Esau intended to kill his brother after his father passed, so Rebekah sent Jacob away.  

How can a family relationship go so wrong? Each in this family appear to be living for themselves. How many of our families fall into this trap? Sibling rivalry can start with parental favoritism. Such favoritism can also break up a marriage. At the least, favoritism promotes the spirit of rejection. But its never too late to ask for forgiveness from God, and to develop the proper family relationships. God is completely impartial over all His creation, without favorites. He chose to bind Himself to all of us while we are still sinners. Through Him, we can break the spirit of rejection.]]></description>

    <title>It&#39;s All Realative</title>
    <description><![CDATA[Continuation of Faith Path: When we were young, we had no idea how to lead our children into Godly lives. We are the light of the world, for all of the people to see. Several scriptures instruct us to spread the word everywhere. Most of these scriptures do not relate to our immediate family, but it is implied that they that need to be covered as well. Sermon is about Evangelizing our families, or It's all relative.

Acts 16:22 Paul and Silas were beaten, but praised God, Paul and silos did not escape after the earthquake. The jailer was converted that night, along with his household. 
1) The jailer represented the greatest power on earth, Rome. We ourselves align ourselves with the greatest powers. Secularism,
Idle worship, rebellion, atheism, anything but worship the one true God.
2) Paul and Silas were praying and praising God without bitterness or anger; God was there and brought His power to the scene. Through this \the jailer discovered a greater power than Rome. 
3) The jailer had a life changing event, "De custodia orum", translated: "The jailer is dead if the prisoners escape". The context of care. When someone sees something that directly impacts an extreme personal need and steps in to be a minister for God. 
4) They spoke the word of the Lord to the Jailer and his family and God did all the work. The entire household was saved that day. When the portal opens, we need to be ready to step in and be obedient to God's will.]]></description>

    <title>The Extended Family</title>
    <description><![CDATA[Continuing with the Faith Path series, through which we are turning the lights on in our homes. 
Designed for the extended family. In the book of Ester we are introduce to Mordechai. Extended family members can present a sensitive situation. We may not be in the nucleus, but we can effect the outcome. Ruth 3, Mordechai was rising to the second in authority to the King, as a Jew, part of the captive nation.  Prove 18:16 A man's gift makes room for him and brings him before great men.

We contain the Word of God in our hearts, able to give away God's wisdom to our extended family. Chapter 7, Mordechai takes in Ester and raising her as his own. Chap 10:3 Grate among the Jews, A Jew living with Jews, and remained a Jew. But hew was a servant to his people and didn't lord it over them. Ester was everything that he asked her to be. 

Mordechai's humble example, saved a nation. He was selfless, centering his life on his people, not himself. When provoked, he was a living example of Prove 15:1 "A genital answered turns away wrath." A true example of Godly leadership. Every Christian is a member of our extended family and should be treated as such and respected. ]]></description>

    <title>Living In Your Parents&#39; Feats</title>
    <description><![CDATA[As a child, we may go through the motions in church; wanting to participate in church activates, worship God and even praying, all for selfish reasons. But when we establish a direct communication with God, everything changes.

In the store of the priest Jehoiada and the child king Joash, there is a contrasts between one who communicates with God and one who is only a follower.  Jehoiada had a positive influence over Joash, so that Joash turned his back against the evil of his parents. But after Jehoiada passed away, Joash who didn't have a relationship with God, returned to that evil. "Because you have forsaken the Lord, He will forsaken you."

If our children need to have more than a "church" experience. they need personal experience with God, not just a knowledge of Him. What is God trying to do with our hearts? What are the godly "Family Values"? In our Santa Clarita society, everything must look good on the outside, but inside all is a mess. 

Are we showing our children how to worship freely? Are we teaching our children to listen for God's voice? They sometimes learn late on their own, only to return to teach the parents. "Standing next to my father during a worship service I was worried that my Dad would see me worshiping with my hands raised. But for the first time I saw my dad raise his hands in worship."]]></description>

    <title>Spiritual Legacy	</title>
    <description><![CDATA["Jonadab the son of Recabite shall never lack a man to stand before me." They would not drink the wine, live in tents, or own a vineyard all of their days. "I have spoken to you consistently but you have not listened." Because Jonadab's sons and grandson's listened they will never lack a man to stand before God. Jonadab lived 250 years before his dependences responded that they would follow God. He was a Recabite, not a descendant of Abraham. "Jonadab would never lack a descendant to stand before God" and will stand before God refers to: 1) member of the priesthood; 2) was a faithful worshipers come to worship God; 3) The ability God gives people to endure or withstand in difficult time. Their was the promise God gave Jonadab. He will always have someone in his family to faithfully worship God.

Jonadab trusted God when circumstances said otherwise. The lived in a period of Jewish lawlessness, but Jonadab continued to trust God beyond the current circumstances.

Jonadab parented from the heart. -- Jonadab's heart followed God, ready to do what it takes to be faithful. The heart is where it's at.

Jonadab created standards in order to preserve his family. We are going to live differently. Don't drink wine meant to party with Bail. "Don't have vineyards" was a statement of not to flaunt your wealth. "Don't have a home" meant not to live on someone else land. Jonadab's family began outside the covenant; he was not Jewish, but he wanted to follow God and my families follow God. What will our spiritual legacy be for our families?]]></description>

Their was the promise God gave Jonadab. He will always have someone in his family to faithfully worship God.

Jonadab trusted God when circumstances said otherwise. The lived in a period of Jewish lawlessness, but Jonadab continued to trust God beyond the current circumstances.

Jonadab parented from the heart. -- Jonadab's heart followed God, ready to do what it takes to be faithful. The heart is where it's at.

Jonadab created standards in order to preserve his family. We are going to live differently. Don't drink wine meant to party with Bail. "Don't have vineyards" was a statement of not to flaunt your wealth. "Don't have a home" meant not to live on someone else land. Jonadab's family began outside the covenant; he was not Jewish, but he wanted to follow God and my families follow God. What will our spiritual legacy be for our families?]]></itunes:summary>

    <title>Eli the Enabler</title>
    <description><![CDATA[A Fathers Day message on what not to do as a father, per the example of Eli the Enabler. Fathers are the first line of exposure of God to his children, so they have a dramatic good or bad influence over their children's spiritual lives.

1 Samuel 1:1-2 Priests of the most high God are suppose to be communicators between God and men.  But Eli and his sons were worthless men; the sons had no-one to guide them; they were free to do as they pleased, without discipline. They  lead Israel to worship other gods. They extorted their people for their own benefit, treating the offerings to the Lord with contempt, exhibiting ungodliness; God was lost to them. Where was Eli the father and high priest? His children didn't listen to his voice. Is our own fatherly voice any better? Eli never disciplined his sons. It was not even important to Eli to correct their situation. He was an enabler, just like we do not want to face the  punishment of his children. But God's holiness is forever and did not or can not allow such sin to continue. Eli's sons by the hand of God.

We must understand and accept our own God given office as fathers;  standing between God the Father and our children. It's not about punishment, but about instilling discipline. Teaching them the difference between right from wrong. The roll of the father is to open their eyes to the consequences of their actions. The Lord disciplines those he loves; so should we. WE are to make sure your love for God is stronger than the love for your children. Not like Eli, who loved his children more than he loved God.]]></description>

    <title>Submissiveness Gods Way</title>
    <description><![CDATA[We see ourselves in a distorted mirrors reflect what we would like to see. But the Lord will restore us back to a normal condition, above and beyond what is normal, so that we can be that City on the Hill. 

Focusing on relationships, specifically parenting, Are our family interactions similar to the Red light Green light game? Do we act out the roles from servant to commander and chief? Do we go back and forth in power struggles within our marriages and/or lives? "How do I get them to do what I want?" This is not a give and take relationship. 

Ephs. 5:18, be filled with the Spirit; Ephs. 5:21 Submitting to one and other out of reverence for Christ.  Being "submissive is not seen as a strong quality, but being submissive is not being a doormat. Paul talks about men loving their wives as Christ loves the church. Ephs. 5:1  Paul has instructions for children to obey they parents "Listen Attentively", and respond accordingly.  Luke 2, Jesus, at age 12 demonstrated how to be under subjection to his parents. Being obedient "in the Lord" is an act of worship. 

But the Lord is looking for much more than just obedience. Fathers, do not provoke your children to anger, but develop a relationship of mutual submission. Stop and Go attitude leads to anger. Bring them up in discipline under the instruction of he Lord, yielding to their needs. Being submissive has always been counter cultural, but that is exactly what God is calling to be. ]]></description>

    <title>Faith Path to Parenting</title>
    <description><![CDATA[Parenting is more than a full time.  We expect things to get easier in the next development phase. Nope, doesn't work that way. Being a parent is hard. "I could build that if I had the right tools." This is what Faith Path is for, to provide the right tools to parenting..

Being a City on the Hill starts in the home. 7 out of 10 children raised in a church will not return after leaving home. If my child is falling behind ins something, simply hire a tooter?  How is it we install all these programs for our kids, and they still fall through the cracks.

Deuteronomy 6:4 "Hear O Israel, the Lord is our God and The Lord is one." From the beginning of time, raising children was the responsibility of the family. Talk about it when I sit in my house. Their responsibility is our responsibility. 

There is a lot of pressure on parents to conform to social requirements, but statistics imply that this activity doesn't ad benefit in development. Only 10% of Christian families ever mention Christ outside of church. Eph. 4:11-12 Reason for the Faith Path. The Church is for the equipping of the Saints, so they can raise their kids. Time spent in sleeping is only 33%; School and extracurricular activities is 25%; With Parents is 40%; leaving 2% for church activities. ]]></description>

    <title>Allow Him to Build Your House	</title>
    <description><![CDATA["Unless the Lord Builds the house, those who build it labor in vain." Psalm 127:1 

The church has opened up a new Faith Paths center to support Christian growth for all ages, allowing for God to build the houses. There are two kinds of people, those who labor, and those that allow God to build their lives. 

Those who build themselves (vv. 1-2) Psalm 127 talks about our finances, security and family, the big three. How much do we fear life issues that never happen? Eating of bread from ancient toil. 

Those who allow God to build (vv. 3-5) God builds, watches and he gives. Children are not a reward but a burden. They need lots of care and feeding, but become our security when we are a old.  They become our arrows to shoot to protect us in our old age. But that potential depends on if we had allow the Lord to build our houses. We lose our protection when we try to do it on our own. ]]></description>

    <title>Mothers Change Nations</title>

In Kings, in the introduction of a rule the mother's name is not mentioned. Not so  for Judea the mother's name is mentioned. Rulers from Jude were raised by their mothers. By this contrasts of the two nations, we see  the influence Mothers have over a nation. 

In the kingdom,  void of mothers' rearing influence, most rulers were listed as not being pleasing to the Lord. In contrast, most rulers raised in Judea were good or even fair, with few who did evil in the sight of the Lord.

    <title>Two Ways</title>
    <description><![CDATA["And when Jesus finished these sayings, the crowed were astonished at his teaching." Matt 7:28; The sermon on the mount is the text were we get the concept of being a City of a Hill, and the quantity of lit lamps. All of us must light our lamps. Christianity is a simple concept but difficult to live out. There are only two types: the rigorous and the wicked. 

Followers of "The Way" (Acts 9:2) In the early church whey did not referee to themselves as  "Christians" but "followers of the Way". Beliefs requires actions resulting in a changed living. 

Two Ways  (Matt 7:13-27) God is asking us choose between the rigorous and the wicked. Ver. 13 - Enter through the gate; ver. 15-20: Ravenous wolfs; productive and bad trees; we are recognized by our fruit.  Ver. 21-23: Not everyone who calls me Lord will enter the kingdom; but are subject to on how they live. Contrast between those who do the work of the Father and those who only believe. There are only two ways: either work for the Lord or work for yourself.

Demanding a Decision (Matt. 7:21,24,28) The decision to be made is which way will we will take? When Jesus finished speaking the sermon on the mount, the crowds (Hoi Polloi) were astonished. Most  come to Jesus because they want something. Jesus is looking for the ones who do the will of the Father.  Would you like to be a house that no storm can tare down? Then your choice should be His Way.]]></description>

    <title>Extract the Precious from the Worthless</title>
    <description><![CDATA[Jeremiah 15:18; Attempting to begin a discussion about the Lord, but the man's focus was on the bike. God Gave Jeremiah a hard ask, leading the Israelite through the captivity of Babylon. Jeremiah distrusted God because he loved God's people. But God said if you return, repent, I will restore you. Jeremiah would be the spokesmen, but keep yourself apart from the people. Most people around us are worthless, but they are precious in the sight of God. God attended for us to extract the precious from the worthless.

God perceives us as loved ones having crossed over from death to life as precious. In today's world some people seem worthless to us. Luke 19: The blind, worthless man calls to Jesus, and Jesus gave a worthless man his sight, a precious gift. We can be like the crowd, pass by blind people, perceiving them to be worthless. Or we can be lake the Pharisees who tell the "worthless" to shut-up. We want to silence the call to help the pour. We need to extract the precious from the worthless.  

Maybe we could be like Jesus, where we reach out to the world's worthless. Like Jeremiah, we are called to the great commission. Jesus response was What do you want me to do for you. Recognize when others are seek God. We respond to what we can perceive, but can we listen to the Holy Spirit who points out opportunities to speak the Gospel. God told Jeremiah that there was value in allowing the Israelite to be captive for 70 years, as they would come back to God.

    <title>Making Other Peoples Cares Your Priority</title>
    <description><![CDATA["Cast your burden on the Lord, for He will sustain you." We have burdens and cares to cast away, but after we give them to God we take them back. 

How many times have we shared something in confidence and it comes back to you as an attack? There are certain people who are not worthy of your blessings. But give it to God what is holy and valuable. God will not trample on you. Our heart's cries are the most valuable things we have to give. We can trust God, all the time. And all the time, God is Good. 

I know the plans I have for you and they are good. Jesus gives us a litmus test to see if we actually are trusting in God. We will know when we are trusting God when we care more for others than ourselves. This is a life time struggle. When I'm seeking God's help for my troubles, then I am not experiencing God's open door of Grace. Until your cares are more important than my own my cares will not be resolved.]]></description>

    <title>Judgment or Mercy</title>
    <description><![CDATA["For with the judgment you pronounce you will be judged, and with the measure you use it will be measured to you." Matthew 7:2. Freedom from Judgment. We have condemnation: Upward towards God; Inward, or self condemnation; and Outward, or from other people. John 3:16: "God did not send his Son to condemn the world..." we are currently being judge, or being saved --a continuous process. 

Upward Judgement (Matt. 7:1; 6:14-15)  How we can free our self. We should live within the sphere of life not judgment. If we forgive others, our Father will forgive us. God is the only being capable to judge us. We are judged by Him by the scale of mercy or by the scale of judgment. Our life determines which scale we are being judged by. Chose the mercy scale. The heart that receives God's mercy will show mercy to other. 

Inward Judgement (Matt. 7:2-5) The measure in which you measure, it will be measured unto you. Don't judge or God is going to judge you. The way we treat other people will determined how we see ourselves. Standard measurement for judgment. If you struggle with condemnation, work on showing mercy to others.

Outward Judgement (Matt 7:6) Do not give to dogs and pigs that which is holy. People will always find things to judge you about. We all have dogs and pigs around us that constantly judge us. Are we someone who judges  people around us? The way to gain freedom from other's  judge of us is to use discernment, "Is this a safe person, or a dog or pig?" Stop judging others and holding them to a standard that no one can meet.]]></description>

    <title>Untitled Episode</title>
    <description><![CDATA["Look at the birds of the air; they neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Ate you not of more value than they?" Matt 6:26 But Seek first the Kingdom of God and His rigorousness and all these things will be added unto you.

Symptoms (Matt. 6:31) Worry or anxiety, symptoms ""what shall we eat, what shall we wear"", manifested on how are we going to pay for this; worried about financial provision. 

Progression of the disease (Matt 6:19-24) Layup for yourselves  your treasures in heaven. Shifting focus away from things that are fleeting. When fleeting things become central, it slowly takes over the eyes of the heart. For where your treasure is, their is your heart. All of life is viewed from the lens of worry. But none can serve two masters. We loose our focus on the gifts from God, taking over the eye of the heart.

The Prescription (Matt 6:25-33) But seek first the kingdom of God, and all these things will be added to . Seek the one who gives the treasure, not the treasure. This works because we matter to Him. He is complete control of our existence.  Are we willing to be thankful to the God who gives every perfect gift? Seek Him First."]]></description>

    <title>Shall be Perfect</title>
    <description><![CDATA["You therefor must be perfect, as your heavenly Father is perfect." (Matt 5:38) What are your top three prayer requests? Jesus makes three statements through the sermon on the mount. 

1) What is the Traditional Teaching: (Matt 5:53) It is said, you shall love your neighbor and hate your enemy. Dependent on the definition of neighbor. Neighbor use to mean anyone who lived around me; now it means anyone I know. In Jesus, Neighbor referred to anyone who was Jewish and in the proper political party. My neighbor must be on my side because God is on MY side. 

2) The Viscous cycle: (Matt. 5:46-47) When we define neighbor narrowly, things run in a vicious cycle. God does not define neighbor as we do, but as everyone. "they are not like us" seed bed of racism. 

3) Transforming Initiative (Matt 5:44-45): The sun rises and the rain to fall on everyone, even those people who do not thank Him for it. Pray for your enemies; "Please change him so that they are not so awful" but everyone of us was an enemy of God at one time. 

Promise (Matt 5:48)  Jesus provides a new statement. But He is going to finish with a promise. God makes ways to positively effect your enemies. Bookend in verse 38, ends in a promise: Be perfect for God is perfect. "You shall be perfect." Deut. 26:18-19. ...You Shall be a people holy to the  Lord, as He promised.

Traditional Teaching (Matthew 5:38}  An eye for and eye was initially intended for national relationships, but it had became personal. Individuals would quickly invoke a revenge attitude. When someone comes at you do not comeback with are resistance. When you retaliate, you become part of the cycle that is hard to escape, leading to death.

Vicious Cycle (Matthew 5:39; Thessalonians 5:15) Always seek to do good to one another and to all. Discussions about turning the other cheek when slapped, walking the extra mile and giving to beggars. We are to be the kind of persons who repays evil with good, to give a food sermon for the evil ones.  Paul commented on when the first will be last and the last will be first.

    <title>Blessed are the Pure in Heart	</title>
    <description><![CDATA[Remember the oil lamp used in Jewish home 2000 years ago. Multiple small lamps produced the light for the city on the hill. Let our light sign. One lamp is not nearly enough. We are the wick, the more of us the bigger the wick, the brighter the light. With Easter in the Park is we get into our community; taking the Gospel to our community. This is our opportunity to stand up and preach the Gospel.

Matt 6:1-18 continues to teach us how to live according to Kingdom values; we need to be perfect just as our Father is perfect; to "beware of practicing your rigorousness before other people in order to be seen by them." Religious hypocrisy is a deadly trap. We become actors who performed for the praises of others. The enemy does all he can to prevent our action according to Matt 5. 1 Pet 3:3-4 Do not adorn yourself to be a show for others, but work on the hidden person of in your heart. The same word used for doing it in secret, focus on your heart. Why am I praying, why am I reading scripture- Jesus is challenging us to focus on our hearts. 

God wants us to practice righteousness upwards, outwards, and inwards. The word reward, appears 7 times in all of the rest of scripture; but in Matt 5, the word reward is found numerous times in the beatitudes, In Matt 6, our reward will be a from our Father God who loves us. Chapter 6 challenges us to considered how we live.]]></description>

    <title>Yes, No, Maybe</title>
    <description><![CDATA[Yes, No, Maybe (YNM) - We live in the fishbowl where the water is YNM. But we need a different way of living besides YNM.  How often does someone says they will do something but we are not sure what their answer really meant?  Matt 5: You shall not swear falsely, but perform to the Lord what you have sworn. It may have been a persons intent, but they didn't mean it. 

Vicious Cycle: "But I say to , Do not take an oath at all, either by heaven, for it is the throne of God, or by the earth, for it is his footstool, or by Jerusalem..." Everything we say should be fulfill, then we do not have to take a vow and be part of the YNM crowed. God is not a YNM God. Scratch off the Maybes; We are to be Yes/No people. 

In order to be a Yes/No person, I must deal with my personal conflicts: Fear of conflict; Fear of not being right; Fear of rejection or abandonment; Fear of authority; and Fear of commitment. It's not easy, but we are to be like God, because he is perfect, good and holy.  What does it mean to be a City on a Hill. God wants us to deal with our personal baggage; to live Yes or No lives. All of God's promises are Yes and Amen.]]></description>

How often does someone says they will do something but we are not sure what their answer really meant?  Matt 5: You shall not swear falsely, but perform to the Lord what you have sworn. It may have been a persons intent, but they didn't mean it. 

Vicious Cycle: "But I say to , Do not take an oath at all, either by heaven, for it is the throne of God, or by the earth, for it is his footstool, or by Jerusalem..." Everything we say should be fulfill, then we do not have to take a vow and be part of the YNM crowed. God is not a YNM God. Scratch off the Maybes; We are to be Yes/No people. 

In order to be a Yes/No person, I must deal with my personal conflicts: Fear of conflict; Fear of not being right; Fear of rejection or abandonment; Fear of authority; and Fear of commitment. It's not easy, but we are to be like God, because he is perfect, good and holy.  What does it mean to be a City on a Hill. God wants us to deal with our personal baggage; to live Yes or No lives. All of God's promises are Yes and Amen.]]></itunes:summary>

    <description><![CDATA["It was also said, 'Whoever divorces his wife, let him give her a certificate of divorce.'" Matt 5:31 With, for and unto you. God aims to be with us, to be for us, so that the Holy Spirit would be given unto us. Jesus speaks in triads "you have heard it said", then "Thus I say unto your", the vicious cycle, followed by a transformation statement 

Traditional teaching of Matt 5:31 "If one wishes to divorce, let them issue a certificate of divorced", the tradition was due to the hardness of their hearts.

Vicious Cycle (Matt 5:32; Jer.. 3:8-9, 24-25) "but unless she committed sexual immorality, you should not divorce her." When we treat divorce lightly, our future fall to pieces. God's plan for us is so much better. 

Transforming Initiative (Matt 5:37; Eve.. 16:8; Duet 23:21-13) We should treat our marriages as an oath or vow. If we are not ready to keep that vow, then just say no. To delay working on our relationship is the same as disobeying; to be guilty of sin. "When you make a vow to the Lord your God, you shall not delay to pay it, for it would be sin in you, and the Lord your God will surely require it of you."]]></description>

    <title>Adultery</title>
    <description><![CDATA[Every time I breath, I praise the Lord with "Yahweh";
"Antithesis Statement: "Do not think I came to abolish the law, but to fulfill it." How many would like a little more heaven in their life?  Is there any aria in you life where heaven is absent?

Matt 5:28 "But I say to you that everyone who looks at a woman with lustful intent has already committed adultery with her in his heart." 

Traditional teaching, (Matthew 5:27) Adultery was only a physical act. "As long as you don't do the act, you are OK." But whenever my thoughts turn away from God, we are whores; includes what is going on in the heart.

Vicious Cycle (Matthew 5:28) There is a spark, it turns into a fire, it burns and turns thinks into ashes. Life without God is a vicious cycle.

Transforming Initiative (Matthew 5:29-30; 8:18-19; 19:16-22; Hebrews 4:14-16) "If your right hand or eye causes us to stumble" is the process of sin. If we cut off the spark, there will be no fire. Whatever is in my life that my will has latched onto, get rid of it. ]]></description>

    <description><![CDATA[A talk about murder and offending, or being a peace maker, "A city on the Hill." Matt 5:6-7;  We looked at the Beatitudes, where we are called to loving obedience. Matt 5:22 "But I say to you that everyone who is angry with his brother will be liable to judgment…" Jesus has come to be the full intent of what God is trying communicating to us through a triad: 1) traditional teaching, 2) Vicious Cycle "But I say to you..."; and 3) Transforming Initiative, how we interpret and change into a new being. The ultimate goal is not to stop sinning, but to be more like Him."

The traditional Teaching is v. 21 "Though shall not murder."

Vicious Cycle v. 22, "But I say that anyone who is angry with their brother is guilty of this sin." Insult means to be empty headed. "You Foul" means to attack someone's relationship with God. Anyone who is offended by his brother is guilty of living in judgment, a vicious cycle.

Transforming Initiative vv. 23-26; To become an intentional peace maker. Our job is to fix the our offence towards others; It's not their job to tell us we are offensive. Blessed are the Peace Makers, for they shall be called the Sons of God; but choosing to become more like Jesus.

Jesus showed us in word and deed: In the garden of Gethsemane, after Peter cut off the guard's ear; Jesus said stop! "I come to make peace." If we continue to sin after we have the knowledge of God, sacrifices can not help us. Hold off taking communion till we had a chance to ask for forgiveness from those we have offended.]]></description>

    <title>Fulfill the Law</title>
    <description><![CDATA["Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I have  not come to abolish them but to fulfill them…" Matthew 5:17. Reading through the scriptures over a years, had a dramatic impact on my life. You know you are in a rut when you are in the same seat as you were in last week. Scriptures are the great change catalyst that we know.  Proverbs 3:1-4 "Do not forget my teaching..." 

Fulfill/Abolish/Accomplish (Matthew 5:17-18) Difficult to workout, but simple to understand.  Fulfill is to fill something that is empty. Abolish is to do away with or discard. Accomplish is to bring it into reality; being. Jesus didn't come to abolish the Law, but to fulfill it so that the Law could be accomplished. The Law was empty before Jesus lived it out. 

Relax (Matthew 5:19) To untie something, like untie the rope. The real trap is that we relax the law. The emphasis is on doing, not teaching.

A Greater Righteousness (Matthew 5:20) That proceeds the Scribes and Pharisees not a greater in degree, but a greater in time. The greatest law is to Love God and our neighbors.  We fulfill the law through loving obedience. Speaking the truth in love.

A Reward (Proverbs 3:1-4) Let your heart keep my commandments, flooded by the Love of God.  Let us become people who begin to walk in the love of God.]]></description>

    <title>A Blessed Life</title>
    <description><![CDATA[The sermon on the mount is difficult to completely grasp, especially as it applies to one's self. It is a picture of what the Kingdom of God. What does the Kingdom of God look like to us? What does it mean to be a City on the Hill, to project Kingdom values? Issues we learn form this sermon are personally troubling, counter intuitive. Inwardly we are to live by God's promise; outwardly we declare God's promises, not commandments to the world. 

Matt 5: The Beatitudes: Jesus starts the sermon on the mount with promises. "Blessed are the poor in spirit because theirs is the kingdom of God..." God leads us by His promise, not commandment. The Beatitudes are an upside down blessing. When we say that we are blessed, it usually equates to material things we have received. The word "blessed" was originally used to describe how the Greek gods lived. Jesus uses the word "blessed" to refer to the lowly, the pour in spirit, the downtrodden; to those at the bottom of humanity, according to human standards; not our understanding but God's.

These promises have a here-and-now aspect. Each blessing is found both in the book of Psalms and in Revelation 21-22; When in trouble, we turn to the Psalms. These promises are for both now and latter. Ps. 65:1; Rev 21:6; From thirst to the Water of Life; Ps. 23:6; Rev 21, Water of life.]]></description>

Matthew 2 -  Story of the Magi.

2) The Magi studied scripture, believed it, and lived it. 
3) The Star is a symbol of what we need to be--the light on the hill. We are super novas. Our roll is to shine and reflect Jesus's light; point the way to Him. He is calling all of us to be stars.]]></description>

    <title>Consolation of Israel</title>
    <description><![CDATA[Hope: The Consolation of Israel; "... for my eyes have seen your salvation that you have prepared in the presence of all peoples, a light for revelation to the Gentiles, and for glory to your people Israel". Luke 2:30-32 Simian blessed Mary & Joseph when they had taking Jesus to the temple. Offerings were made to the temple with an offering to be dedicated. Dedicating a Levite meant leaving the Child at the temple, subject to a redemption fee. 

Pray about how Verse 25 impacts you: Waiting for the consolation of Israel. (Consolation was another word for the Messiah): Isaiah 12:1 Grace to the undeserving; Isaiah 40:1-2 Forgiveness for the sinner; Jeremiah 16:17 Compassion to the grieving; Ezekiel 16:53-54; Restores fortunes; Zechariah 10:2 Hope for the future; 1 Corinthians 14:3 Building up of the Saints.

Isiah 12:1 Grace to the undeserving, means that forgiveness is here. Does anyone need Jesus? He is here. I want to see Jesus. Consolation is used by John to mean Holy Spirit. "I will be giving you another comforter."]]></description>

    <description><![CDATA[Isaiah 35:1- The wilderness shall be glad. Thanks to those with anxious heart He will come and save you. Today I have an anxious heart. He will come and save you, say to the weary one. The anxious heart has caused weariness. We should be walking around with eyes to the sky. Sing the song to overcome anxiousness say to the weary one, your God will surely come and save you. Isaiah 60 is a prophecy of Jesus, and of nations coming in to Your light. The glory of the Lord is the perfect harmony of all of his attributes; who God is. God has come with His salvation. Matt 4 - Jesus has come for the new day of salvation: Your sons and daughters will return; Receive the wealth of the nation; Kings will server you; you will have everlasting joy; your walls shall be called salvation and your gates praise; there will be no more darkness. In what part of your life do you need His light?]]></description>

    <title>All Must Shine</title>
    <description><![CDATA[Story of the dinning room chairs, "we know that we made it; God has blessed us." 

What does it mean to be a city on the hill, Matt 5:16-17.  We don't reflect our own light but the light of Jesus. Communal inwardness & communal outwardness: God is calling us to grow together. Salt & light symbolizes that this should be everyone's experience.  Every Jewish household would use salt & light. The light came from the houses, not the city its self. Homes were one room which would be the bedroom. (How did they have such big families?) The roof was the family room. Herodian lamps were the light. The light on the hill was only as bright as the light radiating from each home collectively. A city on a hill is the sum of all its lights. Everyone had to light a lamp for the city to shine. God  is asking for all of us to make our light shine brighter. 

The benefit to us is that we are more like Jesus; and God's promos is we will have the best of the best. He will change our world in ways that we can't even imagine. It starts by working together.]]></description>

    <description><![CDATA[Arise, shine, for your light has come, and the glory of the LORD has risen upon you." Isaiah 60:1

Three words for His Way:
1) Exalt the Lord (Ezekiel (21:26) Exalt that which is low and bring low that is exalted. Let God do it for us. Fight against the Jessabelle spirit. The answer is to exalt God.
2) Digging Ditches (2 Kings 3:16) This is a light thing in the sight of the Lord
3) Setting Sail (Joel 2:23-27) Get on the boat; it will depart without you. We moved out of their current place.
History of Dan's ministry: began around 2007-08 as an interim pastor; had no idea what he was doing; relied upon the church council.

New direction: We will let our light shine such as a City on a Hill. Matt 5:14 - "Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on an hill cannot be hid."]]></description>

    <title>Thankful Heart	</title>
    <description><![CDATA[We are in darkness today to see the light of Jesus better; Light emanated from his tomb at His resurrection.
Psalm 95:7 Today, If you hear God's voice:
1) Praise Him with thanksgiving,
2) Don't harden your heart. Let it be responsive. 
3) We are dependent on the grace of a benevolent God, our maker. We are His. If you want to hear God's voice, first give thanks. "And God said let there be light, and it was light." Choose gratitude, thankfulness, and everyday things from our lives.
Every church prays for more money, but it never comes. Do we have the wrong prayer? We should be thankful for the manna  we receive, Manna: "What-is-that". 
Do not harden your hearts. Exodus 16, leaving Egypt; the Jews lacked of water and began to grumble. They blamed their leaders; to test the Lord because they didn't believe that God could do something big on their behalf. Moses takes his staff and strikes the rock, but God told him to speak to the rock. For this, Moses was prevent from entering the land of Israel. Moses' staff was a sign of his power, not God's.

Romans 8.  Praying is focusing your attention on Heaven, seeking the power of God.
1) There is therefore now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus. Ver.. 1; We are no longer under the wrath of God. 
2) For the law of the Spirit of life has set you free in Christ Jesus from the law of sin and death. We are now in the position of Life vs. death.
3) For God has done what the law, weakened by flesh, could not do,  (bring life) by sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh and for sin, He condemned sin in the flesh. Sin is condemned not us. 
4) In order that the righteous requirement of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not according to the flesh but according to the Spirit. Our sins are under condemnation.
5) For those who live according to the flesh set their minds on the things of the flesh, but those who live according to the Spirit. To love God and to love each other.
And we know that for those who love God. 
When you walk by the flesh, all you hear is yourself. Why does it matter to be guided by the Holy Spirit is the fulfilling the righteous requirements so that all things work for good.]]></description>

    <title>Dialoging Authentically with God</title>
    <description><![CDATA[Dialing authentically with God; more than text messages we currently do. The monk's joke.  Prayer includes a rhythm between speaking and listening. Prayer is about seeing God in life's mundane. Discover that God resides in the ordinary things of life, not the big events. 

Danial 9:1-19, He prayed 3 times a day. Verse 20: When we take our ordinary to God, He responds to us. Daniel 9:21-22 while I was speaking in prayer, the man Gabriel whom I had seen in the vision at the first, came...  

Prayer of Examine: Ask the Lord to reflect on where He was with you during the ordinary times of the day; 
1) Ask God for His light.
2) Thank God for the little things of the day, show gratitude.
3) Review the day from start to finish, asking where was God in each daily event.
4) Face your shortcomings, rewind and replay key events.
5) Look toward the day to come. Where will God be tomorrow?

In the Examine process, you  need a comfortable and relatively quiet location, for 10-15 minutes. It's helpful to journal every scene you examine. Review your insights with God. End your day seeking His help for tomorrow.

    <title>Worship</title>
    <description><![CDATA["…when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth" John 4:23.
Worship with the head and heart. Need to be a Maturing Disciple; start by practice worshiping? Yes it takes practice. Dancing was intended to be foolish before God, to feel vulnerable, but safe. If you force yourself to smile, sooner or latter your heart will get happy.

The heart is the gateway to worship (Romans 10:9; Luke 10:27; Deuteronomy 6:5-7) "Confess with your mouth and believe with your Heart..." Salvation is an act of will that says, I will follow you. You shall love the Lord with all your heart, soul, body and then mind. The mind provides more reasons to worship. 

Heart Issues: The heart is fragmented in need of repair.
Pride (James 4:6) I'll do what I want to do and no one, not even Jesus, will tell me differently. The heart believes it knows best.
Fear (1 John 4:18) Afraid of worldly events that may impact us.
Unrepentant (Revelation 2:5) Lack of humility, I'm better than that.
Forgiveness (Matthew 6:14-15} Holding something against someone. How do you expect God to for give you, if you hold a grudge against others?

Jeremiah 29:13 You will seek Me and find Me, when you seek Me with all of your heart. He promise to restore to us all the good things he had in store to us. Change my Heart oh God!]]></description>

    <itunes:summary><![CDATA["…when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth" John 4:23.
Worship with the head and heart. Need to be a Maturing Disciple; start by practice worshiping? Yes it takes practice. Dancing was intended to be foolish before God, to feel vulnerable, but safe. If you force yourself to smile, sooner or latter your heart will get happy.

The heart is the gateway to worship (Romans 10:9; Luke 10:27; Deuteronomy 6:5-7) "Confess with your mouth and believe with your Heart..." Salvation is an act of will that says, I will follow you. You shall love the Lord with all your heart, soul, body and then mind. The mind provides more reasons to worship. 

Heart Issues: The heart is fragmented in need of repair.
Pride (James 4:6) I'll do what I want to do and no one, not even Jesus, will tell me differently. The heart believes it knows best.
Fear (1 John 4:18) Afraid of worldly events that may impact us.
Unrepentant (Revelation 2:5) Lack of humility, I'm better than that.
Forgiveness (Matthew 6:14-15} Holding something against someone. How do you expect God to for give you, if you hold a grudge against others?

Jeremiah 29:13 You will seek Me and find Me, when you seek Me with all of your heart. He promise to restore to us all the good things he had in store to us. Change my Heart oh God!]]></itunes:summary>

    <title>Grace &amp; Truth</title>
    <description><![CDATA["But grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ" 2 Peter 3:18. Attribute of a maturing disciple. What does it mean to grow in grace and truth? Jesus is 100% Grace and 100% Truth. 

Grace is God doing for us what we can't do for ourselves; Identifying areas we should  grow in, requires a spiritual mentor; Give it to God; Read the Gospels and see how Jesus did things for others that they couldn't do for themselves (Matthew 8:5) "Unmerited Favor" doesn't quite cut it. Grace is when God does something for you that you can't do for your self, like dying for our sins.

Truth is being honest with reality as perceived by God; Embrace your shortcomings; Ask a spiritual mentor for guidance; Then read the Gospels and identify the difference in how Jesus lived life and how you live life. (John 11, the death of Lazerith) God is reality;  He us absolutely dependable. Truth is being honest with our reality as perceived by God.]]></description>

    <title>Fail at Failure</title>
    <description><![CDATA[If you ever want to test your marriage, renovate your kitchen. You can fail, but when you fail to Failure you make it 100 time worse. Micah's job was to point out other peoples' failures; tough love. He tells them how they should respond after their failure. This message is for us today as we struggle in our sins. Micah points out the proper response to our failures.

There are a couple of ways we fail to failure:
1) We do not acknowledge our failures; we hide from our sins. Our Christianity becomes our walk with the Lords name stamped on it. We become professional Christians, the hypocrites. Micah will bear the wrath of God, completely acknowledge his and Israel's sins. When we mess up, we look around to see who noticed, then cover up our failure. Sin is not the failure, but when we don't look to the Lord after the sin, that is when you are a failure. 
2) We fail at Failure when we don't accept the Lord's restoration. We sit in darkness, feeling disqualified from being a Christians, because we have not allowed God to restore us. Because I have sinned against him I will bear the Lord's wrath, until He will plead our case. Let Him vindicates us. He will take us out into the light, justified by the Lord. Do not let sin become a way of life.

Bold Brokenness, where we find ourselves completely broken before the Lord, Repenting, going the other way. By boldly declaring our failures we allow God to cleans us. We thing that when we sin, the enemy winds, but sin is part of our nature. It's when we fail at failure, we let the enemy win. God is glorified when we humble ourselves and come to that place of brokenness.]]></description>

    <title>A New Song</title>
    <description><![CDATA[Have you enjoyed the book of Micah? Gods new songs come to us when we reach out and touch others. Hear now what the Lord is saying today, same words as from Micah's time; allow yourself to be transformed; let the hills hear your voice; the Lord has a case against His people. Nothing more unmovable than mountains. What is about to be spoken is a true indictment against God's people. Many times we wish to put the responsibility on to someone else, but it is about us. We were not living in covenant relationship with God. We are responsible for our actions. God only wants to bless us. Do Justice, do kindness, and walk humbly with your God. That is all He wants. Do justice as I do justice, Love like I love you. Micah 6:8 look to John where Jesus confronts the woman who committed adultery. "You who have no sin cast the first stone." They all left. "Go and sin no more." ]]></description>

    <title>Ageless Message</title>
    <description><![CDATA[Jose received a card that symbolized God's Love in a simple action. It embodied an ageless message from God to the Nations. Micah & Isaiah delivered this same message.  God allowed for sacrifices  because people could not follow His rules. It's not about us doing absolutely correct, but about receiving God's grace even though we are unworthy. The law brings us to the Jesus. 

Micah Chap 3: God will not save His the people because the leadership, kings and false profits, were not faithful. God's law had become punitive, not motivation for repentance.  The people were interpreting scripture into man's law. Money purchased the profits by the rulers. God will make it like the night, dark. Today's society is the same; nothing has changed.  Injustice is the immoral passing of laws that are not internal or natural.

    <title>The Breaker</title>
    <description><![CDATA[Micah is not a well studied book. After the death of Solomon, his son Jeroboam wanted to follow God. Israel splits between the North, Israel, and the south, Judah.  Around 700 B.C. northern Israel begins to assimilate with Juda, bring their foreign gods they imported from Syria. Micah wrote at the same time as Isiah and Jermaine; he preaches against the conflict of Israeli life, the worshiping of foreign gods. Through out Jewish history there was only a remnant of God's people; same today regarding Christians. 

Micah is divided into 3 sections. 1) The first section, 1-2:13, Micah telling everyone to listen up; 2) Section two, 3-5, 5:15 is about the Masonic hope, talking to the leaders of the nation. 3) Section 3,6-7, 6:1-7:7, an oratory urging, encouraging or strongly advising a course of action: Return to God; stop serving the false gods. If we follow God's covenant, we will be blessed; if not then what happens in Micah. Chapter 1:1 will apply to us.

Who judges inequities? Only God. The law can't judge because the sin is internal. Transgression is the visibly breaking of the law. The people, during Micah's time,  were committing apostasy. God provided the blood, the "kifar", to wash away our inequities and transgression.  Micah 2:13, "I will raise up the Breaker who will go before us, and He will lead the remnant out."]]></description>

    <title>Fatherhood, a Transformational Experience</title>
    <description><![CDATA[Rom: 12:1-2: Therefore I urge you, brethren, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies a living and holy sacrifice, acceptable to God, which is your spiritual service of worship. And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, so that you may prove what the will of God is, that which is good and acceptable and perfect. 

Fatherhood is transformational. It is easier to become a father than to be a father. We don't understand that fatherhood perfects men. Fathers are a key element in their children's life just by being there. The end product is both the perfecting and maturing of both the father and the child--Life changes.  Fatherhood is far more than personal experiences. It is understanding God Himself through a transformed heart, life and mind. God became a man, died on the cross so that we could identify with Him. Mercies received from God are unearned. 

2 Cor. 5:17: Therefore if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creature; the old things passed away; behold, new things have come. 

Col 1:10: So that you will walk in a manner worthy of the Lord, to please Him in all respects, bearing fruit in every good work and increasing in the knowledge of God; We are the refreshment to our children base on what we drink; daring from the fruits of God. Pleasures will conform us either to God's way or the world's. Example of adversity - boiled potatoes, eggs, and coffee: hard becomes do it; soft becomes hard, and the coffee becomes a sweat smelling aroma. Which one are you?]]></description>

    <description><![CDATA[Finding God's Will For Your Life
"All the paths of the Lord are steadfast love and faithfulness." (Psalm 25:10)
Finding God's will in our lives is not the answer to the question, it is secondary, "it is a benefit of". The overriding idea regarding finding God's will for our lives is the Transformation process we encounter.  He wants us to be like Jesus so that we can experience His love in our lifetime. We can't fail. The only thing that can stop us is our hard heart. This is not the race I trained for, but this is the race I'm in, but God has set paths to get us to the finish line.

Psalm 1: Simplistic view of life. If we give Jesus, we will be like the tree planted by streams of water. Do what we are suppose to and things will work out well. A decision.
Psalm 25: Realistic view: Remember the sinner, oh Lord, not the sin. The right path is not easy to walk. Why do good things happen to bad people? Living it out.

A Hebrew Acrostic (Psalm 25), uses all 22 letters in the Hebrews alphabet. Psalm about God's direction, there is an ordered pattern in His will. There is still a part of God's will that is unknown. 5% still needs to be discerned. Cry out to God "Show me the way". All His ways are steadfast love and faithfulness. We Win His Love.

All God's paths lead to… Him. If we confess our sins He will forgive us and we receive His love. He will provide the way and the path. At the end of the Marathon is His stead fast love.]]></description>

    <title>God&#39;s Gift Unopened</title>
    <description><![CDATA[Finding God's Will For Your Life "Without counsel plans fail; but with many counselors they succeed" Prov. 19:20. God's gift that often remains un-opened. Going home and praying about it is an unbiblical way of living. 

Decisions are a community thing:
1) The community judges a prophetic word (1Cor. 14:29).  Let two or three profits speak, and let the body judge. Otherwise it is like a resounding gong.
2) The community decides guilt or innocence (Duet: 19:15; Matt. 18:15-16). Only on the testimony of two or three witnesses may an charge be established. My singular opinion doesn't matter.
3) The community sends (Acts 13:2-3). They didn't ask way Paul and Barnabus what they thought.
4) The Wise and the Fool (Prov. 11:14; 12:15; 13:10; 28:26). The fuel makes their own decisions; the wise seeks counsel.

Advice versus Counsel: Difference lies with whom is asking, If the decision rests with me, that is advice; If the decision rests with the people I'm asking, that is counsel. For he who walks in wisdom, things end well. Trust that He will bring people into your life to provide great wisdom; diametrically apposed from what we are taught.]]></description>

    <title>What God&#39;s Will Sounds Like	</title>
    <description><![CDATA[Judging God's Will for Your Life; Not going to Morton's anytime soon, unless it's free? Judge by scripture. 
"Your words were found, and I ate them, and your words become to me a joy and the delight of my heart, for I am called by your name, O Lord, God of hosts." Jer. 15:16. We judge by way of our community of faith. Different between the bible and every other holly book: Every other book was produced by one man; the Bible was developed by a community. 2 Tim 3:16: "All scripture is inspired by God." I am a picture that is off, God comes in to correct it.
When God speaks, it generally sounds like these:
It is simple (1 Kings 19:15-16) It makes sense out of a puzzling situation. 
It Involves some kind of repentance ( Isa. 55:8-9) Shifting from how I thing to the way God thinks. "For my thoughts are not your thoughts." I'm not even kind of living the way I should be. His thinking goes outside of my own thinking. It is counter intuitive. 
It leads to trusting Him more (Matt. 14:29). If I had peace and prosperity, I would trust God less; not God's will. No "If I..." Just be still. Involves a step of faith. Walk on the water. There will be an element that will cause a little in trepidation. If it leads to peace, there is something wrong.
It builds up (Jer. 24:6) I will build them up, not tear them down. Look for the Promus of restoration. 
It gives only the next step (Gen. 12:1) "Go to the land I will show you." I pray for my blue print of Christianity. But my job is just "to go." Promus proceeds direction.
It is outward focused (Gen.  12:2) There must be a blessing toward others. Involved the building of His kingdom "Seek first the kingdom of God"; (Matt 6:33). When someone said that the Lord said such and such, you will know if it is true. "My sheep hear my voice and they know me and I know them."]]></description>

    <title>Gift Mix</title>
    <description><![CDATA[Finding God's Will for your Life: 
"For you formed my inward parts; you knitted me together in my mother's womb." Psalm 139:13. Thank you Jesus that I have my own level of weirdness, like a special spice.

1. Gift-Mix (Eph. 2:10) Study your skills to understand what God intends for you.
His workmanship... that we should walk in our skill set.
Created for good works… with intentionality, not an after thought. A before thought.
Beforehand… 
Walk in Them… The difficulty is, we don't know who we are. We have so much put upon us that hide our true identity. The gift mix is  not what you do, but who you are.

2. Life Verses (1 Tim. 1:18-19)  Acts like a plumb line to guied us what we should be doing for whom. Also provides direction for waging our lifes battles. 
In accordance with the prophesies...
That  by them...
Holding faith in a good conscience...
Shipwreck... Our shipwrecks may be the result of not knowing our life verses.

    <title>I Am Loved</title>
    <description><![CDATA[Finding God's Will in your life. 
When it is all said and done, I am Loved. We declare to Him that He is Loved, affirming His great love to us. 

The transformative word is more joyful and loving. 

"Delight yourself in the Lord and He will give you the desires of your heart." (Psalms 37:1-4). The righteous live according to God's will; the wicked live by their own will. Shalom is: Everything that is good and strong; absence of hostility; Deliverance. 

Are we following God's general will for our life?
If we are obedient, following God's will, then we should do what ever we want. If we are doing God's general will, then there are these five questions, Are You:
Saved (2 Pet. 3:9);
Spirit Filled {Eph. 5:17-18};
Sanctification (1 Thes. 4:3-7);
Submit (1 Pet. 2:13-14);

    <title>Build With the Lord	</title>
    <description><![CDATA[I could focus on what a screw-up I am, when I should but look at how awesome God is; how much He loves us and gives to us.

Psalm of Assent. Ps 127: Unless the Lord builds the house, the laborer works in vain. Children are a heritage from the Lord. Solomon was qualified to impart knowledge because of his life long screwed ups.

You can't build anything on your own empty activities. There is nothing solid about what we do by ourselves. Our activities should be decorations On His work, so let the Lord build to avoid unnecessary anxieties.

There is very little that is worth worrying about (8%) . What me worry, when God is all capable to provide the perfect construction plan. Decide to be blessed. Recognize that every day is a blessing. If we are going to try to build our family without the Lord, then we are wasting our time. ]]></description>

    <description><![CDATA[Finding God's Will for Your Life
"So Moses thought, 'I will go over and see this strange sight; why the bush does not burn up'" Ex. 3:3 - God speaks to those who pay attention. God gives a promise: "I will give you Israel". Promise precedes direction. I ask for direction and He gives me promise. Renewed mind is one that has submitted to the will of God. Looking for God's creative word, His Promise. 

Solitude - The Furnace of Transformation Matt. 4:1-11; Placed into the furnace so God may refine me. Unmasking the allusions in my life. Allowing the Lord to change the way I think about myself. Come to the place where we realize that we are nothing. I silence you are left with nothing more than our selves.

Silence - The birthplace of God's voice. 2 King. 19:11-13; Gen. 1 Eternal silence of the Trinity. Words are everywhere as a distraction. God's Word is found in shear silence.

The Prayer of the Heart. Luke 18:13; 1 Thess. 5:17; Pray without ceasing, by way of a simple prayer: "Lord have mercy on me a sinner." It makes it to the heart when you start living when it is true. Hos 2:16 View that relationship with God as a taskmaster. Joel 2:23-29

    <title>Renewed or Conformed Mind?</title>
    <description><![CDATA[Finding God's Will Four Your Life: "Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind." Rom. 12:2  Are you Crazy or Normal; Do you have a renewed or conformed mind? God wants us to be Renewed. Only a transformed mind can discern the will of God.  We are normally "dense" with regard to God's will. Am I transformed with the renewing of my mind or still conformed to this world? Rom. 3:1 No one is righteous. Need to offer our bodies as a living sacrifice. A renewed mind is one that has yield itself to God's ways. 

A. Rom. 12:1-2: 1) Transformation takes place through yielding the body and the mind to the work of the Spirit -  Its a moment to moment event. 2) Transformation precedes discernment; 3) Discernment requires sacrifice; he who looses is life will find it. There is a way that seems right to man, but leads unto death.
4) Focus on transformation not on discernment. 

B. Pattern of decisions: 
Conformed: Desires of the flesh; Lust of the eyes; Pride of Life;
Renewed: Fruit of the Spirit.]]></description>

We are normally "dense" with regard to God's will. Am I transformed with the renewing of my mind or still conformed to this world? Rom. 3:1 No one is righteous. Need to offer our bodies as a living sacrifice. A renewed mind is one that has yield itself to God's ways. 

A. Rom. 12:1-2: 1) Transformation takes place through yielding the body and the mind to the work of the Spirit -  Its a moment to moment event. 2) Transformation precedes discernment; 3) Discernment requires sacrifice; he who looses is life will find it. There is a way that seems right to man, but leads unto death.
4) Focus on transformation not on discernment. 

B. Pattern of decisions: 
Conformed: Desires of the flesh; Lust of the eyes; Pride of Life;
Renewed: Fruit of the Spirit.]]></itunes:summary>

    <title>Transformational vs. Transactional	</title>
    <description><![CDATA[Do I have a transformational or transactional relationship with God? We tend to gage the answers to questions by how successful the results are. We should focus on our relationship with God who approaches the process with relationship glasses. I don't have to get it right. The Trinity is: God is one, but He is also 3 -- Father Son, and Holy Spirit; All in perfect unity, but with clear, perfect distinctions between the three. Love is the connection within the Trinity. There is a perfect giving of each self to the other.

1) God desires to form, conform and transform you into the image of Jesus. (Gal. 4:19; Rom. 8:29; 2 Cor. 3:18). The more we are like Jesus, the more we enter into a relationship with Him--moving toward a perfect relationship. 

2) A Transactional Relationship: Ex-change; Benefits of provision; Focus on psychological betterment; Focuses on results/answers; Based on a system of rewards and punishments; mired in daily affairs; Happiness is the plumb-line.

3) A Transformational Relationship: Change, The Relationship is the benefit; Focuses on the person; Desires to benefit the other with no reciprocations necessary; Long-term and holistic; Metamorphosis is the plumb -line.]]></description>

Three responses:
1) Its all in the Bible. Most of what God wants us to do is already there.
2) Attended to  a dynamic relationship with God.
3)  GPS God worth, Prominent personal characteristics, Spirit promptings.

That you come to realization that God has good plans for you… Jer. 29:11.
That you come to understand that He is not hiding His will... Amos 3:7.
That you will gain a greater awareness of your Savior's voice... John 10:27.
That you will comprehend that God's will for your life is not an after through... Eph. 1:11
That you will come to realize that all the decisions and circumstances you face are opportunities to become more like Jesus... Rom. 8:28-30.
That you will experience more and more of His steadfast love and faithfulness... Psalm 25:10.
The ultimate goal is to understand that we have a future of security and hope.

Matt 21 has three distinct elements: 1) Prepare the way by worshiping, allowing Jesus to come into our life. 2) Clears out the money changers, because a good thing had gone too far. Is there something in our lives that is good, but gone too far? What needs to be cleansed from our temple. 3)  Are we the new house of prayer now that that there is no temple.

    <title>Intercessory Prayer	</title>
    <description><![CDATA["Likewise the Spirit helps us in our weakness. For we do not know what to pray for as we ought, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us with groaning's too deep for words." Rom 8:26. 

Intercessors don't necessary pray for a long time, but are prompted what to pray for. It is not about the length of time but about the prompting: "I must pray for this."  It expands the bounders of the world in which we live. Responding to the Spirit's prompting. The Hebrew word for intersession "paga" (מָּגַע) has three meanings in the old testament:

To happen or light upon by chance or circumstance (Gen 28:10-17). Found a place to stop and rest because of night fall. The Lord was in that place and Jacob didn't know it.

To fall upon in attack (1 Sam 22:1-19) Strike the Priest. Saul order his guards to attack his enemy on command, not by their choice.

Boundary (Josh 19). Same word for Intersession can also be interpreted as "boundary". Pray whenever the bounders of the Lord are encroached upon.  We should pray for those who have stepped outside the boundaries.]]></description>

    <title>Unanswered Prayer	</title>
    <description><![CDATA[Is it Him that is out of alignment with me, the reason He doesn't answer our prayer? We don't think so. How do we understand the reasons for unanswered prayer? Exodus 3: He cares, hears and sees. The Lord will renew and revive our hearts and soul. Spirit of condemnation: there is something wrong with me, so He doesn't answer my prayer. Conviction vs condemnation. Conviction leads us back to God, condemnation is self focus.
 
Four considerations, like following the wires on your stereo system:
1) James 4:1-4 Self indulgence; Wrongly focused on the wrong (my) needs. Our passions are at war within us. But those that live by the Spirit are focused on God's needs.
2) James 4:16-18 Presumptuous attitude. We boast in our arrogance in our prayers; suggestion to God to change His course of action. 
3) James 1:8 A double minded heart while praying. I believed that God heard and will answered vs I don't believe he will answer, so I have to act on my own accord. A double minded heart is one that isn't fully there. 
4) Matthew 6:11-12 Lords Prayer: Our un-forgiveness of others inhibits our prayers. Is there any un-forgiveness that I need to take care of first?

We need a complete reversal in attitude, and then watch God go to work. ]]></description>

    <title>Ask, Seek, Knock</title>
    <description><![CDATA["And I tell you, ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you." Luke 11:9. We are expecting a revival through Bold and Persistent Prayer. Ask, Seek, Knock. Impudence means a boldness and persistence in prayer.

God is Good (Psalm 136:1; Gen 1:31; James 1:17) Everything that God does or provides is good.

Satan is Not (John 10:10; 1 Pet 5:8; John 8:44) Prowls around like a roaring lion seeking someone to devour. Satan is a lire, father of all lies.

God uses people (Amos 3:7; Matthew 28:28; Luke 9:1-2, 10:19) We are His resources for His works on earth; we have the privilege and His authority to do His will. God wants us to ask, but we do not have the right to an answered. Too bad it doesn't stop with Ask. Must continued to Seek and Knock in the Name of Jesus. Seek - give me revelation. ]]></description>

    <description><![CDATA["…and the people of Israel groaned because of their slavery and cried out for help. Their cry for rescue from slavery came up to God." Exodus 2:23.

Their condition (Exodus 1:2-14) The Israelites were groaning under their breath. God responds to those who cry out.

Their response (Exodus 2:23) All will call upon the Name of the Lord. Cry our to Him.

God's response (Exodus 2:24-25; 3:7-8) God remembered his covenant with Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. God sees, hears, remembers, knows, and acts. He will take us to a land better than anything we have seen up to this point. But we struggle with where we are at.

If there is bondage in our lives, do we keep doing the same wrong thing over and over? Daniel Nash, a minister voted out of his pastorship because he was too old, moved to a private life of prayer, initiating a revival in his community. ]]></description>

    <description><![CDATA["Don't be afraid…those who are with us are mare than those who are with them." Kings 6:16. Navigating life through prophetic message. The king listens to the prophetic messages given him.

Learning to navigate life through the prophetic (vv 8-12). Getting in tune with the heart and mind of the Lord, and move in His direction.

The forces we can't see are constantly looking towards our harm (vv 13-14).  When the Lord directs there is a real force around you. As we pray, the lord gives us eyes to see where our enemies lie.

There is always more going on than we can see (vv 15-17). Don't be afraid. When we live our lives by only what we can see, the outcome is fear. When God is on my side, whom shall I fear?

God brings victory not just protection (vv 18-23). Knowing if the victory is from God or from depends on how much work I had to do. Believe that God can do big things. 
George Muller grew up in Great Britain. Simple focus understanding faith in God. God will provide all resources, not rely on contributions, and always found God to be faithful.]]></description>

Did a prayer meeting bring down the Berlin Wall and end the cold war? One month after the prayer meeting, the wall came down. No violence; without the church it would have been a bloody conflict.

When Asa's first response was to pray (2 Cron.... 14:15). First thing is to demolish those things that keep us from the Lord. The land is ours because we sought the Lord our God. Find and remove personal idles.

When Asa's first response wasn't to pray (2 Cor. 16). But after 36 years, Asa attempts to trust in his checkbook. He try's to solve his problems on his own. A scoffer is one who makes his own plans and goes his own way. Asa becomes a suffer, had everything and lost it. We should not moan and groan about how hard Valencia is.]]></description>

    <title>Take Time to Pray	</title>
    <description><![CDATA[Renewal & Revival
"Will you not revive us again. That your people may rejoice in you." Psalm 85:5. 
1) Busyness is not God's best for us (Matt 11:28) How much time do we set aside to pray to God? 
2) Busyness chokes God's blessings (Mark 4:7) Busyness that causes stress in your life. Satan has twelve ways to gain power over Christians. Busy is Being Under Satan's Yoke. Matt 11:28 Come to me all who labor, and I will give you rest.
3) Busyness confuses the source of our power (John 15:9) Mark 7:4 Choked by life's worries. 
4) Busyness robs us of His presence (Jeremiah 29:13) John 5:19 Busyness tricks me into thinking that my own activities are the source of our life. We are the ones who make the world turn.
5) Busyness goes against the example Jesus set. (Mark 1:35, 6:46; Matt 14:23; Luke 5:15-16, 6:12) Jer. 29:13. Have to fill free time with something.

    <description><![CDATA[Remember Janus looking both backwards as well as forward. Are we willing to change to see people get saved? Story of a strong willed child born without the new nature given to us by God. We receive God's nature with the capacity to do the impossible, yet we don't obey. The impossible is about what we don't want to do. All things are possible with Christ. God could help us through What is impossible to us. What might God want us to do? Serve; Whiteness; be free to do His will.

Christmas is the foundation. Keep Christmas on the front burner of your life. Matt 2:13-15. Herald wants to kill Jesus. 5 ways to keep Christmas alive: 
1) Remember that it's not about you or me, but about Jesus. One purpose of many is Matt 28:18-20. Find God's purpose for your life. 
2) Remember that we are "Covenant" people. The Christmas story helps us to remember it today. 1 Cor. 11:25 Do this in remembrance of me. Duet 30:29:14; Duet 30:19-20. 
3) Remember the importance of your testimony: Rom 10:10-15; Rev 12:11 Your testimony. 
4) Pray:  Isa 55:6; 1 Thess. 5:17; 1 John 5:14. 
5) Fellowship: Gen 5:22; Exodus 29:45; 1 John 2:8; Heb. 10:24-25; Psalm 119:63.

    <title>God Changes His Story	</title>
    <description><![CDATA["Thus the Lord has done for me in the days when he looked on me, to take away my reproach among people." Luke 1:25

Our Amen:
Vers. 6: They were righteous before God, always praying, walking in His ways. But most of the time we don't know what to do, so we should always be asking for wisdom. We will continue to serve. 

God's Yes:
The Promise: Correlations between Abraham & Sara to Zachariah & Elizabeth. A shift in history has occurred. God is doing something wonderful. In the birth of Jesus God is doing a new thing. Something wonderful is about to happen, He will take away my reproach for a new life.

Luke's' History is reviewed in three parts: 1. The law and the Profits, 2. The time of Jesus; 3. The church age. Started with John the Baptist and ends with Jesus. After Jesus' assentation, the spirit of Jesus is poured out. God changed history of the law and prophets.]]></description>

The Promise: Correlations between Abraham & Sara to Zachariah & Elizabeth. A shift in history has occurred. God is doing something wonderful. In the birth of Jesus God is doing a new thing. Something wonderful is about to happen, He will take away my reproach for a new life.

Luke's' History is reviewed in three parts: 1. The law and the Profits, 2. The time of Jesus; 3. The church age. Started with John the Baptist and ends with Jesus. After Jesus' assentation, the spirit of Jesus is poured out. God changed history of the law and prophets.]]></itunes:summary>

    <title>Living As Forgiven</title>
    <description><![CDATA[She will bear a son, and you shall call His name Jesus. For He will save His people from their sins." Matt. 1:21

The Promise--Forgiveness: On the Cross... God demonstrated that we are loved. My name is forgiven.

The Amen-Living as Forgiven:
Focuses on God's salvific work.
Sees sin as an opportunity for God show His grace.
Boldly goes to the throne of grace.
Confesses and repents quickly.
Resists condemnation. Condemnation leads me away from God; Conviction draws me toward Him.
Easily forgives. It matters more what God thinks of us over what we think of our selves. If we don't forgive, we are unable to be forgiven.]]></description>

    <title>Living as One Who Is Favored</title>
    <description><![CDATA[God's promises in the Christmas story: For with God, nothing can be impossible. Let it be according to your word. There are three Promises: 
1) The coming of Jesus, the Davinical Kingdom, and the establishment of His eternal reign. Luke 1:31-33. 
2) The fulfillment of the prophecy of Isaiah 7:14, in Luke 1:30. God remembered His promises by providing His Son, birthed to a virgin. Provides new birth for us all.
3) Living as favored one Luke 1:37; The things we thought we knew, we now see afresh. God sent Gabriel to Bethlehem. Being a virgin without being married meant a sentence of death. Mary was greatly troubled by the greeting, "O favored one", not the angle. It's troubling for us to think of ourselves a favored ones. We live like people who have to work for it. Let it be to me according to Your Word. 

Our Amen:
Luke 1:36 "Let it be to me according to your Word"; Mary believed that she would be the fulfillment of God's purpose.
Luke 1:45 "And blessed is she who believed that there would be a fulfillment of what was spoken to her from the Lord."]]></description>

    <title>Happiness is Being More Like Jesus</title>
    <description><![CDATA[And we know that for those who love God all things work together for good, for those who are called according to His purpose. Romans 8:28. 
Make space in my life for other people; leave a margins. Change our hearts so that we minister to others over ourselves. 

Certainty: There is a certainty to the promise; starts out with "We know". I know God is faithful. 
Completeness: All things will work together for good, even the bad things in our lives.
Cause: We know that God works all things together; God is the cause.
Condition: Our response to God's is from "For them that love God." John 14:23 If anyone loves me, he will keep my words. To obey is to love God. 1 John 4:21. If anyone says he loves God but hates his brother, is a liar. The must make margin in their life for others.
Consequence: Purpose is to them who are called to his purpose to be conformed to the image of His Son. He will make us look like Jesus. 

The verse states that everything that hapensto us is to make us like Jesus; that is the "good". This explains why our prayer life stinks. Prayer is not about us, it's all about Him. Lord, how is my pain going to benefit You? How will I conform to be more like Jesus? This is  the source of our blessing and happyness.]]></description>

    <title>God is Faithfull	</title>
    <description><![CDATA[God is Faithful. No temptation has overtaken you except what is common to mankind. And God is faithful; he will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear. But when you are tempted, he will also provide a way out so that you can endure it. 1 Cor. 10:13.

Our lives are like facing a giant wave wen we are drained of strength. The Lord is the giver and taker of life. God will rescue you, and show you the way out. Temptation is more than the solicitation of the devil. We all go through the same tempting experiences. Eve, and Adam, had the opportunity to turn away, but they didn't. Jesus was lead into the wilderness to be tempted, to be our model. Temptation also means "To be Tested". Gen 22: God is testing me by asking me to sacrifice my son. 

Temptation can also mean pressure. Don't waste the pain, let it move you to God. Rom. 5 talks about the daily pressures on our lives. But God is Faithful. Whenever we refuse to give into temptation, we defeat the devil. Our faith rests on the character of God. Duet 27:9 Know that He is a faithful God. When in the tumultuous waves of life overtakes us, never forget, He will save. ]]></description>

    <title>Look at the Pronouns</title>
    <description><![CDATA[The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want. He makes me lie down in green pastures. He leads me beside still waters. Psalm 23:1-2.

Provision and care (ver. 1-3, 5-6);
Protection (ver. 4-5).

Our Amen:
Trust (ver. 4);
Dwelling in Him (ver. 6).

What do I do today that will make a difference in 5 years? I choose to live by the still waters, or the raging seas. BUSY: Bound Under Satan's Yoke. But He restores my soul - Repent for allowing busyness to lead my way-it was me. "I'm just going to have to" trust in You. "Look at the Pronouns of Ps 23: He to me. When it is I, it leads to  valley of death. I shall not want. How much of the times of our lives were never instructed to be done by the Lord. Who told you to do that? My own pride that  drives me.

The Lord is your portion (vv. 19,24). Just a few verses after declaring a complete loss in hope in the Lord. Now the Lord is our only lot in life.

Our Amen:
Memorize the Word (vv. 21:24). The 7th and 8th triplets are special: "read these."
Hope is Built Daily (v.23). I'm here now to receive His new mercies for today.
Rise above vs. suffering under (vv. 18, 21, 24). Our future is verse 18. The difference is where we focus our thoughts.

    <title>Trust in the Midst of Life&#39;s Troubles</title>
    <description><![CDATA[How who dwells in the shelter of the Most High will abide in the shadow of the Almighty. I will say to the Lord, "My refuge and my fortress, my God, in Whom I trust." Psalm 91:1-2

God's YES
Promise of the Lord's care and Protection from life's troubles:
You will experience the fowler. Arrows from no where, when your in your tent or on the road. Happens day or night. In Ps 91, there are 8 troubles and 16 promises. God provides two promises for every trouble.

Promise of the Lord's care and protection from the demonic:
Ancient rabies viewed this Psalm as protection against demonic forces. There are spiritual forces aligned against us bent on our destruction. Psalms really if ever talk about angels. Anytime, any day. Ps 91 is old testament version of Romans 8. Nothing can separate us from the love of God.

Our AMEN
My God in whom I trust:
I am confident that God will protect. Lord, help my confidence to grow. ]]></description>

    <title>I Know the Plans</title>
    <description><![CDATA[For I know the plans that I have for you, declares the Lord, pans for welfare and not for calamity to give you a future and a hope. Jer. 29:11
Most misused scripture in the Bible. It's actually way better than what we think. 

A collective Hope: Addressed to the Israelites who where exiled to Babylon; it is not singular, but plural. 
His Timing: Jer. 29:4-11; Seventy years in the future, most people will be dead when promise is fulfilled. I is an anchor for their hope; in the end Our God will do all things for our good.
Seeing what I want to see: Hananiah was a false profit: "Don't worry, in two years God will fix the problem." Jer. 28:1-4. We will live under the consequences of our actions. Hananiah dropped dead.
A Light at the End of the Tunnel: Even under the weight of the full consequences of our actions, He will still provide. God said You owe me 70 years of Sabbath. 
With all My Heart: Jer. 29:12-14; Seek first the Kingdom of God.

God's YES: He has a plan for us, and will provide the way out.
Our AMEN: Seeking Him and be willing to live under His timing; resisting what urge to follow my will. ]]></description>

    <title>Under New Management</title>
    <description><![CDATA["Grew up on a farm were we plan for a week to go to town. Ate at The  Wrangler, a classic greasy spoon. On a visit two years ago we found it under new management. The town burnt down but the Wrangler still stands. God will do His work in you in His way not ours. We are under new management. Phil 2:12-13 Rephrased:   ""Continue on, carry  out to completion your walk of salvation with fear and trembling, and God will provide you all of the  ability, means, and the desire to do so.""

We see our work is to continue on, but God's work is to provide all needs. We attempt to continue on under our own efforts toward our own  salvation; but it is God who will provide His means, ability and desire for us to work out our salvation, on His term. We have to trust in His new management. The Wrangler didn't have the ability to change.  ""What exactly am I suppose to do?"" is old management mentality.  

Under New Management - Grace Production. Others were experiencing things that I am not. Why? I'm a good Christian. Our efforts to generate grace are ineffective. The water is on but nothing is coming out. Had to get the kinks out first. The blessings are waiting to flow, once we get the kinks out.]]></description>

Paul informs the Philippines. His attitude is one of joy and confidence in Christ. "Only conduct yourself in a manner worthy..." A declaration. Worthy of the Gospel of Jesus Christ! Behave like citizens. 
Php 3:20 For the citizenship is in heaven from which we also eagerly wait for the Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ. Worthy means weigh something on a scale. 
Jer 31:31-34 New covenant. 
Mat 4:17 Repent for the kingdom of heaven is at hand. Conduct life as a citizen of the Kingdom of God. Stand firm in one Spirit with one mind. Phil 2:1-3 Be of the same mind. 
John 13:34-35 They will know us by our love.

    <title>To Live is Christ</title>
    <description><![CDATA[Phil 1:20-24 - For to me, to live is Christ and to die is gain.  To live is Christ. Everything is about Christ. 

Col 3:1-4 - How do we actually set our sights on things above? The glory of Christ is, Grace, Ruler.  Our lives should be a testimony on who God is. God gave me a voice. 

Prov. 5:1 - God wants us to listen to Him; He always has a word for you. We are too busy to listen to what God is freely giving. 

John 10:27 - God's sheep hear His voice, and they follow. It's not about rules; He wants us to receive His full inheritance. Why do I have to give up everything? Yes, because God gave up everything for us. "Yes Lord, here it is."  After I gave it up, He gave it back, in abundance.

    <title>God&#39;s Good Work</title>
    <description><![CDATA[Phil. 1:6 For I am confident in this: He who began a good work in you will perfect it until the day of Jesus Christ.
1.  Paul is Confident in God. Where does Paul get such confidence?  2 Cor 11:23-29 "1 more so; in far more labors, in far more imprisonments..." It is out of Paul's  trials, difficulties, and hardships that his confidence was made rock hard.
2.  Paul's confidence in God's good work. What is the good work of God that Paul is referring to? Birthing and development of the church. Development of people. God's beginning of the church. Grace and love established for all to see and experience. The church has grown. A Good Work. Acts 16:14; God's good work of salvation is revealed. A church with leaders. 
3.  Are we changing, maturing developing and consciously working in partnership with God? Or have we become lovers of this age? John 2:16.  God will perfect his work until the day of Christ Jesus. Paul's confident is from his experiences with God, not from his own abilities or past achievements. God can be relied upon to complete what he began. 

God's great love for us. God is working in us, not done yet. We are responsible to never stop growing till the day Jesus returns.]]></description>

It is a outcry if ""The Kingdom Come""
Paradise has been restored, not abandoned or destroyed.
It is a garden-city.
It is a fulfillment of the promises made to the overcomers.
The perpetual, perceptible, presence of God.
The absence of all that is anti-Christ.

    <title>The Kindness of Discipline</title>
    <description><![CDATA[Judgments are more a result of the repercussions of sin.

Judgments become progressively worse.

The purpose of judgment is to bring about repentance.

So What?

God's position towards you, sinner or saint is kindness.
Remember that discipline is kindness.

Persecution is part of this age.

Embrace the Lord's discipline as an opportunity to live in the fruit keeping with repentance.
