“Go out into the world uncorrupted, a breath of fresh air in this squalid and polluted society. Provide people with a glimpse of good living and of the living God. Carry the light-giving Message into the night.”

Maya Angelou, a well-known American writer and activist, once said, “If you don't like something, change it. If you can't change it, change your attitude about it - what you say matters.”

Seek Life, See Life and Be Life!!!

Live in Gratitude.

Gratitude Week 1

Philippians 4:4-7 (NLT)

“Always be full of joy in the Lord. I say it again—rejoice! Let everyone see that you are considerate in all you do. Remember, the Lord is coming soon. Don’t worry about anything; instead, pray about everything. Tell God what you need and thank him for all he has done. Then you will experience God’s peace, which exceeds anything we can understand. His peace will guard your hearts and minds as you live in Christ Jesus.”

Philippians 1:3-5 (NLT)

“Every time I think of you, I give thanks to my God. Whenever I pray, I make my requests for all of you with joy, for you have been my partners in spreading the Good News about Christ from the time you first heard it until now.”

Philippians 1:17-18 (NLT)

“Those others do not have pure motives as they preach about Christ. They preach with selfish ambition, not sincerely, intending to make my chains more painful to me. But that doesn’t matter. Whether their motives are false or genuine, the message about Christ is being preached either way, so I rejoice. And I will continue to rejoice.”

Philippians 2:17-18 (NLT)

“But I will rejoice even if I lose my life, pouring it out like a liquid offering to God, just like your faithful service is an offering to God. And I want all of you to share that joy. Yes, you should rejoice, and I will share your joy.”

Philippians 3:1 (NLT)

“Whatever happens, my dear brothers and sisters, rejoice in the Lord.”

Philippians 4:4 (NLT)

“Always be full of joy in the Lord. I say it again—rejoice!”

Philippians 4:6-7 (NLT)

“Don’t worry about anything; instead, pray about everything. Tell God what you need and thank him for all he has done. Then you will experience God’s peace, which exceeds anything we can understand. His peace will guard your hearts and minds as you live in Christ Jesus.”

Matthew 6:25-34 (NLT)

“Therefore, I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothes? Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they? Can any one of you, by worrying, add a single hour to your life? And why do you worry about clothes? See how the flowers of the field grow. They do not labor or spin. Yet I tell you that not even Solomon in all his splendor was dressed like one of these. If that is how God clothes the grass of the field, which is here today and tomorrow is thrown into the fire, will he not much more clothe you—you of little faith? So do not worry, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’ For the pagans run after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them. But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well. Therefore, do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.”

Philippians 4:11-13 (NLT)

“Not that I was ever in need, for I have learned how to be content with whatever I have. I know how to live on almost nothing or with everything. I have learned the secret of living in every situation, whether it is with a full stomach or empty, with plenty or little. For I can do everything through Christ, who gives me strength.”

Need - Thanks That You are Jehovah Jireh - Provider

Sickness - Thanks That You are Jehovah- Rophe - Healer

Need Guidance - Thanks That You are Jehovah-Rohi - Shepherd

Overwhelmed, Under Assault - Thanks That You are Jehovah-Sabaoth - Lord of Hosts

Vulnerable

Psalm 18:1-3 (NLT)

“I love you, Lord; you are my strength. The Lord is my rock, my fortress, and my savior;  my God is my rock, in whom I find protection. He is my shield, the power that saves me, and my place of safety. I called on the Lord, who is worthy of praise.”

Philippians 4:7 (NLT)

“Then you will experience God’s peace, which exceeds anything we can understand. His peace will guard your hearts and minds as you live in Christ Jesus.”

Philippians 4:8 (NLT)

“And now, dear brothers and sisters, one final thing. Fix your thoughts on what is true, and honorable, and right, and pure, and lovely, and admirable. Think about things that are excellent and worthy of praise.”

Living Out of the Restored or Renewed Heart

Lives That Are Salt and Light

Living Illustrations of Godlikeness and Godliness

Restored Hearts… Leading to Restored Lives… Leading to Restored Families… Leading to Restored Communities… Leading to Restored Nations…

Jeremiah 29:4-7 (NIV)

“This is what the Lord Almighty, the God of Israel, says to all those I carried into exile from Jerusalem to Babylon: Build houses and settle down; plant gardens and eat what they produce. Marry and have sons and daughters; find wives for your sons and give your daughters in marriage, so that they too may have sons and daughters. Increase in number there; do not decrease. Also, seek the peace and prosperity of the city to which I have carried you into exile. Pray to the Lord for it, because if it prospers, you too will prosper.”

Galatians 6:9-10 (NIV)

“As much as you have the opportunity, do good to all.”

1Peter 2:11-17 (NIV)

“Dear friends, I urge you, as foreigners and exiles, to abstain from sinful desires, which wage war against your soul. Live such good lives among the pagans that, though they accuse you of doing wrong, they may see your good deeds and glorify God on the day he visits us. Submit yourselves for the Lord’s sake to every human authority: whether to the emperor, as the supreme authority, or to governors, who are sent by him to punish those who do wrong and to commend those who do right. For it is God’s will that by doing good you should silence the ignorant talk of foolish people. Live as free people, but do not use your freedom as a cover-up for evil; live as God’s slaves. Show proper respect to everyone, love the family of believers, fear God, honor the emperor.”

John 10:10 (NIV)

“I have come that you might have life and have it to the full - abundantly!”

The Heart Series Week 3

Last couple of weeks…

God Who Knows the Human Heart

God Who Contends with the Human Heart

God Who Restores the Human Heart

Ezekiel 36:22-23 (MSG)

“Therefore, tell Israel, ‘Here is the Message of God, the Master: I’m not doing this for you, Israel. I’m

doing it for me, to save my character, my holy name, which you’ve blackened in every country where

you’ve gone. I’m going to put my great and holy name on display, the name that has been ruined in

so many countries, the name that you blackened wherever you went. Then the nations will realize

who I really am, that I am God, when I show my holiness through you so that they can see it with

their own eyes.”

Romans 7:14-25 (MSG)

“What I don’t understand about myself is that I decide one way, but then I act another, doing things I

absolutely despise. So if I can’t be trusted to figure out what is best for myself and then do it, it

becomes obvious that God’s command is necessary: But I need something more! For if I know the

law but still can’t keep it, and if the power of sin within me keeps sabotaging my best intentions, I

obviously need help! I realize that I don’t have what it takes. I can will it, but I can’t do it. I decide to

do good, but I don’t really do it; I decide not to do bad, but then I do it anyway: My decisions, such as

they are; don’t result in actions. Something has gone wrong deep within me and gets the better of

me every time. It happens so regularly that it’s predictable. The moment I decide to do good, sin is

there to trip me up. I truly delight in God’s commands, but it’s pretty obvious that not all of me joins

in that delight. Parts of me covertly rebel, and just when I least expect it, they take charge. I’ve tried

everything and nothing helps. I’m at the end of my rope. Is there no one who can do anything for

me? Isn’t that the real question?” The answer, thank God, is that Jesus Christ can and does. He acted

to set things right in this life of contradictions where I want to serve God with all my heart and mind,

but am pulled by the influence of sin to do something totally different.”

Ezekiel 36:24-28 (MSG)

“‘For here’s what I’m going to do: I’m going to take you out of these countries, gather you from all

over, and bring you back to your own land. I’ll pour pure water over you and scrub you clean. I’ll give

you a new heart, put a new spirit in you. I’ll remove the stone heart from your body and replace it

with a heart that’s God-willed, not self-willed. I’ll put my Spirit in you and make it possible for you to

do what I tell you and live by my commands. You’ll once again live in the land I gave your ancestors.

You’ll be my people! I’ll be your God!”Mark 7:21-23 (NIV)

“For from within, out of a person’s heart, come evil thoughts, sexual immorality, theft, murder,

adultery, greed, wickedness, deceit, lustful desires, envy, slander, pride, and foolishness. All these

vile things come from within; they are what defile you.”

Proverbs 4:23 (NKJV)

“Keep your heart with all diligence, for out of it spring the issues of life.”

Proverbs 4:23 (NLT)

“Guard your heart above all else, for it determines the course of your life.

”

Philippians 4:8 (NIV)

“Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is

pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable–if anything is excellent or praiseworthy–think about

such things.”

Colossians 3:1-4 (NLT)

“Since you have been raised to new life with Christ, set your sights on the realities of heaven, where

Christ sits in the place of honor at God’s right hand. Think about the things of heaven, not the things

of earth. For you died to this life, and your real life is hidden with Christ in God. And when Christ, who

is your life, is revealed to the whole world, you will share in all his glory.”

Luke 6:45 (NKJV)

“A good man out of the good treasure of his heart brings forth good, and an evil man out of the evil

treasure of his heart brings forth evil. For out of the abundance of the heart his mouth speaks.”

Hebrews 3:12-15 (NIV)

“See to it, brothers and sisters, that none of you has a sinful, unbelieving heart that turns away from

the living God. But encourage one another daily, as long as it is called Today, so that none of you may

be hardened by sin’s deceitfulness. We have come to share in Christ if we hold firmly till the end the

confidence we had at first. As has just been said: "Today, if you hear his voice, do not harden your

hearts as you did in the rebellion."

Ephesians 1:17-19 (NKJV)

“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, 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,

and what is the exceeding greatness of His power toward us who believe, according to the working

of His mighty power.”

Hebrews 13:12 (NLT)

“Be careful then, dear brothers and sisters. Make sure that your own hearts are not evil and

unbelieving, turning you away from the living God. You must warn each other every day, while it is

still “today,” so that none of you will be deceived by sin and hardened against God. For if we are

faithful to the end, trusting God just as firmly as when we first believed, we will share in all that

belongs to Christ. Remember what it says: Today when you hear his voice, don’t harden your hearts

as Israel did when they rebelled.”

The Heart Series Week 2

God Who Contends with the Human Heart

Jeremiah 17:9-10 (MSG)

“The heart is hopelessly dark and deceitful, a puzzle that no one can figure out. But I, God, search the heart and examine the mind. I get to the heart of the human. I get to the root of things. I treat them as they really are, not as they pretend to be.”

Johari Window

Psalms 10:4 (NIV)

”In his pride the wicked man does not seek him; in all his thoughts there is no room for God.”

Mark 7:6-8 (NIV)

“You hypocrites; as it is written: ‘These people honor me with their lips, but their hearts are far from me. They worship me in vain; their teachings are but rules taught by men. You have let go of the commands of God and are holding on to the traditions of men.’"

God Wants to Work In The Whole of Our Hearts, and It Can Mean Facing Some Tough Things. He May Need to Challenge and Change Some Areas…

Where Can I Go from Your Presence?

Psalms 139:1-18 (NIV)

“You have searched me, Lord,

and you know me.

You know when I sit and when I rise;

you perceive my thoughts from afar.

 You discern my going out and my lying down;

you are familiar with all my ways.

Before a word is on my tongue

you, Lord, know it completely.

You hem me in behind and before,

and you lay your hand upon me.

 Such knowledge is too wonderful for me,

too lofty for me to attain.

Where can I go from your Spirit?

Where can I flee from your presence?

If I go up to the heavens, you are there;

if I make my bed in the depths, you are there.

If I rise on the wings of the dawn,

if I settle on the far side of the sea,

even there your hand will guide me,

your right hand will hold me fast.

If I say, “Surely the darkness will hide me

and the light become night around me,”

even the darkness will not be dark to you;

the night will shine like the day,

for darkness is as light to you.

For you created my inmost being;

you knit me together in my mother’s womb.

I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made;

your works are wonderful,

I know that full well.

My frame was not hidden from you

when I was made in the secret place,

when I was woven together in the depths of the earth.

Your eyes saw my unformed body;

all the days ordained for me were written in your book

before one of them came to be.

How precious to me are your thoughts,  God!

How vast is the sum of them!

Were I to count them,

they would outnumber the grains of sand—

when I awake, I am still with you.”

Luke 16:15 (NIV)

”You are the ones who justify yourselves in the eyes of men, but God knows your hearts. What is highly valued among men is detestable in God’s sight."

Psalms 26:2 (NIV)

“Test me, O LORD, and try me; examine my heart and mind.”

Psalms 139:23-24 (BSB)

“Search me, O God, and know my heart; test me and know my concerns. See if there is any offensive way in me; lead me in the way everlasting.”

1 John 3:20 (BSB)

“Even if our hearts condemn us, God is greater than our hearts, and He knows all things.”

Prayer of Confession

“Most merciful God,

we confess that we have sinned against you

in thought, word, and deed,

by what we have done, and by what we have left undone.

We have not loved you with our whole heart.

We have not loved our neighbors as ourselves.

We have not walked in your ways

and have chosen what seems good and right in our own eyes

we are truly sorry, and we humbly repent.

For the sake of your Son Jesus Christ,

have mercy on us and forgive us.

That we may delight in your will, and walk in your ways,

to the glory of your Name. Amen.”

The Heart Series Week 1

Open Hearted

Warm Hearted

Wholehearted

Heart Felt

Heart Sick

Heart Wrenching

Broken Hearted

God Sees the Heart and Knows Us at the Center of Who We Are, or The Season We Are In.

He is Willing to Meet Us There and Let Us Know that We are Known.

He is Not Content that We Remain Hurting, Sick, Broken, Hidden, etc.

God Doesn’t Look at What We Look at; He Looks at the Heart.

Jeremiah 17:9-10 (MSG)

“The heart is hopelessly dark and deceitful, a puzzle that no one can figure out. But I, God, search the heart and examine the mind. I get to the heart of the human. I get to the root of things. I treat them as they really are, not as they pretend to be.”

Exodus 34:6 (ESV)

“The LORD, the LORD, a God merciful and gracious, slow to anger, and abounding in steadfast love and faithfulness…”

He Walks with Us on this Journey So We Can Walk with Others.

He Doesn’t Want Us to Remain in Hiding.  We Can Journey with Others into Freedom and Into the Light.

Seasons Don’t Have to Define Us

Experiences Don’t Have to Hold Us

Feelings Don’t Have to Hold Us Fast

God Knows

God Contends

God Restores

God is a God of Hope and a Future, Not Just Our Past.

Pillars and Practices // Celebrating and Remembering

Romans 12:15 (ESV)

“Rejoice with those who rejoice and weep with those who weep.”

To Do this Requires a Willingness to Enter Intimacy and Connectedness.

Philippians 4:12-13 (NIV)

“I know what it is to be in need, and I know what it is to have plenty. I have learned the secret of being content in any and every situation, whether well fed or hungry, whether living in plenty or in want. I can do all this through him who gives me strength.”

1 Thessalonians 5:16-18 (NIV)

“Rejoice always, pray continually, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus.”

Celebrating and Remembering Go Hand in Hand

Psalm 103:1-18, 22 (NLT)

A Psalm of David

Let all that I am praise the Lord;

with my whole heart, I will praise his holy name.

Let all that I am praise the Lord;

may I never forget the good things he does for me.

He forgives all my sins

and heals all my diseases.

He redeems me from death

and crowns me with love and tender mercies.

He fills my life with good things.

My youth is renewed like the eagle’s!

The Lord gives righteousness

and justice to all who are treated unfairly.

He revealed his character to Moses

and his deeds to the people of Israel.

The Lord is compassionate and merciful,

slow to get angry and filled with unfailing love.

He will not constantly accuse us,

nor remain angry forever.

He does not punish us for all our sins;

he does not deal harshly with us, as we deserve.

For his unfailing love toward those who fear him

is as great as the height of the heavens above the earth.

He has removed our sins as far from us

as the east is from the west.

The Lord is like a father to his children,

tender and compassionate to those who fear him.

For he knows how weak we are;

he remembers we are only dust.

Our days on earth are like grass;

like wildflowers, we bloom and die.

The wind blows, and we are gone—

as though we had never been here.

But the love of the Lord remains forever

with those who fear him.
His salvation extends to the children’s children

of those who are faithful to his covenant,

of those who obey his commandments!

Praise the Lord, everything he has created,

everything in all his kingdom.

Let all that I am praise the Lord.

Pillars and Practices // Connect and Engage

Here are two simple reasons to stop and think about our own connectedness within the church family:

1.     Connecting to the Community Puts Us in a Place to Love and be Loved

1 Corinthians 12:31 (CSB)

“And I will show you an even better way.”

1 Corinthians 13:13 (CSB)

“Now these three remain: faith, hope, and love—but the greatest of these is love.”

Colossians 3:12-14 (NIV)

“Bear with each other and forgive one another if any of you has a grievance against someone. Forgive as the Lord forgave you. 14 And over all these virtues put on love, which binds them all together in perfect unity.”

2.     Connecting to the Body of Christ is Essential to Living. Scripture Reveals to Us that We are Better Together than if We Stay Disconnected.

1 Corinthians 12:12-18 (NLT)

“The human body has many parts, but the many parts make up one whole body. So it is with

the body of Christ. Some of us are Jews, some are Gentiles, some are slaves, and some are free. But we have all been baptized into one body by one Spirit, and we all share the same Spirit. Yes, the body has many different parts, not just one part. If the foot says, “I am not a part of the body because I am not a hand,” that does not make it any less a part of the body. And if the ear says, “I am not part of the body because I am not an eye,” would that make it any less a part of the body? If the whole body were an eye, how would you hear? Or if your whole body were an ear, how would you smell anything? But our bodies have many parts, and God has put each part just where he wants it. All of you together are Christ’s body, and each of you is a part of it.”

Steps to Connecting

Be Pleasant

Be Approachable

Find Common Interests

Be Willing to Learn

Be Quick to Listen, Slow to Speak and Slow to Become Angry

Practice Being Loving

Enemies of Connecting

Pride

Insecurity

Fear

Criticism

Divisiveness

Our Own Echo Chambers of Agreement that Pit Us Against Others Who Think Differently.

Jesus is Still Our Hope.

Pillars and Practices // Give and Serve

GIVING IS ABOUT AUTHORITY

Deuteronomy 8:18 (ESV)

“You shall remember the Lord your God, for it is he who gives you power to get wealth, that he may confirm his covenant that he swore to your fathers, as it is this day.”

Proverbs 3:9-10 (ESV)

“Honor the Lord with your wealth and with the first fruits of all your produce; then your barns will be filled with plenty, and your vats will be bursting with wine.”

GIVING IS ABOUT OBEDIENCE

Luke 6:38 (NIV)

“Give and it will be given to you.”

2 Corinthians 9:6-11 (NIV)

“Remember this: Whoever sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and whoever sows generously will also reap generously. Each of you should give what you have decided in your heart to give, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver. And God is able to bless you abundantly, so that in all things at all times, having all that you need, you will abound in every good work. As it is written: “They have freely scattered their gifts to the poor; their righteousness endures forever.” Now he who supplies seed to the sower and bread for food will also supply and increase your store of seed and will enlarge the harvest of your righteousness. You will be enriched in every way so that you can be generous on every occasion, and through us your generosity will result in thanksgiving to God.”

GIVING IS ABOUT PRIORITIES

Proverbs 11:24–25 (NIV)

“One man gives freely, yet gains even more; another withholds unduly, but comes to poverty. A generous man will prosper; he who refreshes others will himself be refreshed.”

2 Corinthians 9:6–8 (ESV)

“The point is this: whoever sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and whoever sows bountifully will also reap bountifully. Each one must give as he has decided in his heart, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver. And God is able to make all grace abound to you, so that having all sufficiency in all things at all times, you may abound in every good work.”

GIVING IS A VALUES ISSUE

Malachi 3:8–12 (NLT)

“Should people cheat God? Yet you have cheated me! “But you ask, ‘What do you mean? When did we ever cheat you?’ “You have cheated me of the tithes and offerings due to me. You are under a curse, for your whole nation has been cheating me. Bring all the tithes into the storehouse so there will be enough food in my Temple. If you do,” says the LORD of Heaven’s Armies, “I will open the windows of heaven for you. I will pour out a blessing so great you won’t have enough room to take it in! Try it! Put me to the test! Your crops will be abundant, for I will guard them from insects and disease. Your grapes will not fall from the vine before they are ripe,” says the LORD of Heaven’s Armies. “Then all nations will call you blessed, for your land will be such a delight,” says the LORD of Heaven’s Armies.”

Matthew 6:19–21 (ESV)

“Do not lay up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust[a] destroy and where thieves break in and steal, but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust destroys and where thieves do not break in and steal. For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.”

Our heart motive matters more than money. The story of The Widow’s Offering (Mark 12:41-44) illustrates God’s hope for our motivation toward generosity.

GIVING IS A TRUST ISSUE

Matthew 6:26-33 (ESV)

“Look at the birds of the air: they neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not of more value than they? And which of you, by being anxious, can add a single hour to his span of life? And why are you anxious about clothing? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow: they neither toil nor spin, yet I tell you, even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these. But if God so clothes the grass of the field, which today is alive and tomorrow is thrown into the oven, will he not much more clothe you, O you of little faith? Therefore, do not be anxious, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’ For the Gentiles seek after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them all. But seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be added to you.”

Luke 6:38 (TLB)

“If you give, you will get! Your gift will return to you in full and overflowing measure, pressed down, shaken together to make room for more, and running over. Whatever measure you use to give–large or small–will be used to measure what is given back to you.”

GIVING IS ABOUT GOD’S KINGDOM ADVANCING

1 Corinthians 16:2 (ESV)

“On the first day of every week, each of you is to put something aside and store it up, as he may prosper, so that there will be no collecting when I come.”

SERVING IS THE SAME IN MANY WAYS - Generosity with our Time and Talents

As we give of ourselves, we get our eyes off ourselves.

We become less aware of our own needs as we serve others.

Finding Personal Fulfillment in Giving

You are never more like Jesus than when you serve and give. Matthew 20:28 says, “The Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many.”

Will We Allow God to Have Authority?
