In our final Summer 2024 Flashback Friday, we return to June 2, 2022 where we see Jesus being led into the desert. While there, he is approached by the devil and tempted in three different ways. These three temptations form the basis for all the temptations we also face.

After the Labor Day holiday this Monday, September 2, we will return to our normal Monday-through-Friday scheduling.

A good high priest is able to be gentle with wayward people because he shares their weaknesses and struggles -- and Jesus is our perfect high priest. When we fail to be gentle with others, could it be because we forget or deny our own weaknesses?

Paul writes to Timothy, his young protégé in Ephesus. That city had been quite difficult and even hostile to their early believer, even violently running Paul out of town! Still, Paul counsels Timothy to be gentle and kind, and that it will be God, not Timothy, who wins them over to the truth.

As well as being a way to harness teams of oxen, a "yoke" was an image of discipleship under a rabbi. Unlike many of the other teachers of his day, Jesus was gentle and humble, not wishing to overburden his followers. Yes, there was work to do, but Jesus would help us to carry any burden placed upon us!

What's so blessed about being meek? Should we aspire to be passive pushovers? And if not, is there a way to use our power and influence that is truly a fruit of the Spirit?

Sermon #8 of Highrock's summer sermon series ("Flavor: Taste of the Fruit of the Spirit") from 1 Samuel 24: 1-12, 16-20 NIV

In this flashback to June 21, 2022, we explore what Jesus teaches about generosity in the Sermon on the Mount. Jesus tells us both to let our lights (good deeds) shine but also to do them in secret. How do we do both?

Jesus says that the way we treat others, especially those who cannot give back to us, reveals a lot about our hearts. It's easy to be generous with those in higher positions as they can reward us, or hurt us. But what about the lowest of people?

In the midst of speaking about generosity, Jesus speaks about the need to have a good eye rather than an evil eye. What is Jesus talking about?! Tapping into a metaphor that continues even today, Jesus reveals the importance of seeing the world rightly, the way that God sees it!

We often pray for God to grant our request but what if Jesus had already revealed the secret of tapping into God's generosity? What if there was something that you could do that would guarantee God's generosity to you?
