Lenten Series, Interruptions of Jesus on the way to the cross.
Three vary different interruptions
1. Rich young ruler---wanted to earn salvation
2. James and John---wanted the best seats in the new Kingdom
3.  Bartimaeus---simply wanted to see.
Jesus says only Bartimaeus has "faith"....how about you and I?

Lenten short series, Jesus, set his face like "flint" to Jerusalem.  He knew his purpose, to seek and to save the lost.  Here we see parents bringing their children to be Blessed by Jesus and yet the disciples put up roadblocks.  In the interruptions of life, Jesus finds ministry opportunities, can we?
Lenten short series, Jesus, set his face like "flint" to Jerusalem.  He knew his purpose, to seek and to save the lost.  Our question is do we know our purpose and do we play the long game----with the end goal and purpose in sight.  
Organic Disciples with 7 Disciplines.  Sharing ones faith may be the scariest thing we do, and yet we are called as sons and daughters of the King of kings to share our faith.  Here are 4 simple ideas to take away your fear.

Organic Disciples part 2  Bible Engagement
​We may say we love the  Lord Jesus---but a question is: do we spend time reading, studying His love letter to us?

Three ways that Jesus looked at the Scriptures' was with eyes of Love, a desire to Know the Word and heart to Follow All it taught.  Here are some ideas to help you truly Engage with the Bible.  .  
Organic Discipleship part 1 ....growing in our relationship with Jesus Christ in order to disciple others.

The Great Commission  Matt 28

Join us for an 8 week series on growing spiritually and naturally learning to Share your faith in Christ with others. 
The Magi's story gives us 5 basic truths
​about Worshiping Jesus.
The Magi brought 3 specific gifts
1.  Gold to Honor Him as KING
2.  Frankincense to Honor Him as GOD
3.  Myrrh to Honor Him as SAVIOR

Question is:  What you do give him?  
Luke 2: 8-14 has a surprising statement.....Peace only comes to those who receive or accept God's Favor.  In other words, Peace is given to those who accept the Christ Child as their Savior.  
3rd Sunday Of Advent 
Great Joy....comes from the birth of the Messiah.  
Happiness happens
Joy is ABIDING in Christ, as the Object of our JOY
​Hesed/ Steadfast Love

John 3:16 (NKJV)
For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son,
that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.

Isaiah 54:10
Though the mountains be shaken, and the hills be removed,            yet my unfailing love (hesed) for you will not be shaken.
Advent is a 4 week period when we prepare our hearts for the birth of the Messiah.    
​
Here is s short teaching on HOPE
H: Spiritual Heritage
O; Optimism
P: Person of Christ
E: Endurance to run the marathon set before us. 
Part 2
​Parable of the Sower is about discipleship, your own and how we help disciple others.  This parable is key to all the rest of the parables.
​
1.Indifferent Heart/ Hard - no growth nor fruit
2.Impulsive Heart / Shallow- Immediate but dies, no fruit
3.Impure Heart / Crowded - Immediate, choked out, no fruit
4.Humble  (humus) Heart / Good – Significant, 30 ,60, 100-fold
The Parable of the Sower, Seeds, Soils and Spiritual Growth are pivotal in a Christian's life.  We will ben having two teachings on this Parable from Mark 4 and Matt 13
#5 of Romans 12 series
Responding to evil and those who treat you wrongly Romans 12 14-21.

​Everyone has been hurt by someone. The question is, what do you do with that hurt? For some people, faith calls them to a difficult road of...dare I say it, "offering mercy." But how is this done? Here are a few ideas from Romans 12
Romans 12 9 13 Authentic Community Loving the Body of Christ.  We all wear masks, but to be truly a follower of Christ we are called to removed our masks and love each other. Here's the 4th teaching from Romans 12

Part 2 on Friendship of the Heart
Here are 9 points the Apostle Paul makes to Philemon about caring for fellow Christians. Paul is very straight forward.

Philemon is a short New Testament book by Paul which gives us some great teachings on how to be a true, faith filled friend. This is a 2 part teaching (this week and next week)

​Having a bad hair day

I ended up at Bronson Hospital with a torn retina...middle of Bible School....wow!!!  I needed to totally trust in Jesus' care.
