Pastor Andy Cass

Merry Christmas friends! We hope you have a great day celebrating our saviors birth. Pastor Andy takes a few moments to remind us that Mary was willing to go through momentary troubles to bring peace to earth. Are you willing?

TEXT:

Luke 1:26-38; Daniel 8:17, 27; Daniel 9:20-23

NOTES:

You may not know the reason for your troubles, but that doesn't mean you won’t find peace.

Don’t let your circumstances determine your faith, but allow your faith to define those circumstances.

BIG IDEA: What trouble are you willing to go through for someone else to find peace

Jesus and George: Why does he have to talk about money so much?

TEXT: Matthew 4:1-10

NOTES:

-2nd Temptation- Your achievements will tempt you to shift your focus from what matters most to impress your audience.

-Are you faithful in your leadership or has there been a leader-shift?

-God is more interested in you improving than your impressing.”

-A lack of self-control will encourage small changes, and small changes eventually lead to subtle exchanges

-Jesus understood, Self-control comes from self-controls
