Topic: #StayIn

Scripture: Acts 27:13, 31-32; Isaiah 26:20 (Prior to the Passover); Joshua 6:13, 25; Exodus 12

Notes:

Sometimes storms arise suddenly and can through you off course and make it difficult to secure what you may consider your personal life boat.

Paul and his comrades were caught for 14 days in the storm, in absolute darkness for 11 of those days.

During this time, they lost hope of deliverance until God sent hope in a dream.

Just like with the Apostle Paul, we are reassured that we are going to be okay.

Abide in the ship to remain saved rather placing you confidence in the wrong thing.  Right now we must let go of everything other than our hope in God.

The importance of staying in (at home) during this time is that it provides safety a safety net as remaining in the ship was a safety net for Paul.

Our trust remains in God.  Do not fear, be of good cheer, because we believe God.

We trust God and we also use wisdom.

There is safety in the house.

There Ark was not made for Navigation, it was created for survival through the flood.

Just as God did with Noah, he will carry us through the storm

II Samuel 6:12-23

nd it was told King David, “The Lord has blessed the household of Obed-edom and all that belongs to him, because of the ark of God.” So David went and brought up the ark of God from the house of Obed-edom to the city of David with rejoicing. 13 And when those who bore the ark of the Lord had gone six steps, ihe sacrificed an ox and a fattened animal. 14 And David danced before the Lord with all his might. And David was wearing a linen ephod. 15 So David and all the house of Israel brought up the ark of the Lord with shouting and with the sound of the horn.

David and Michal

16 As the ark of the Lord came into the city of David, Michal the daughter of Saul looked out of the window and saw King David leaping and dancing before the Lord, and she despised him in her heart. 17 And they brought in the ark of the Lord and set it lin its place, inside the tent that David had pitched for it. And David offered burnt offerings and peace offerings before the Lord. 18 And when David had finished offering the burnt offerings and the peace offerings, nhe blessed the people in the name of the Lord of hosts 19 and distributed among all the people, the whole multitude of Israel, both men and women, a cake of bread, a portion of meat, and a cake of raisins to each one. Then all the people departed, each to his house.

20 And David returned to bless his household. But Michal the daughter of Saul came out to meet David and said, “How the king of Israel honored himself today, uncovering himself today before the eyes of his servants’ female servants, as one of the vulgar fellows shamelessly uncovers himself!” 21 And David said to Michal, “It was before the Lord, who chose me above your father and above all his house, to appoint me as prince over Israel, the people of the Lord—and I will celebrate before the Lord. 22 I will make myself yet more contemptible than this, and I will be abased in your7 eyes. But by the female servants of whom you have spoken, by them I shall be held in honor.”

Topic: Do What Is Better

Scripture: Acts 20:

Community of encouragement

Center of empowerment

Church of Engagement

Every ministry of the church falls into these three areas of the church.

Some things in life are mentioned in scripture as being better or chosen to have.

Proverbs 22:1

Ecc 7:8

John 16:7 - better for a

I Corinthians - 7:8-9

Paul addresses the pastors in Ephesus before he leaves. He exhorts them according to ministry to what they should do while he is away

Take care of themselves

Be watchful over their sheep

Be watchful for wolves

Paul commends then to God Acts 20:32-38 *v 35

4 questions:

1. What does God want us to work hard for?

We are to work hard in the interest to help

others. Beware of covetousness. Intent

of Paul’s working was to support the weak

and lend a helping hand. Was an

example of selfless giving. The end of our

earning is to help others, not ourselves.

2. Did Jesus say what Paul said Jesus said?

It is asked because the saying if it’s more

blessed to give than received because it’s

not directly in the a documented

conversation. John stated that not

everything that Jesus did was not written

down because there would be too many

books to contain it all. Many phrases are

passed down through oral tradition.

“Remember “ is a recall of something that

occurred. You cannot remember

something that didn’t occur. If one will

not accept these two points, the essence

of the command is sound in scripture that

Jesus said.

3. Is God opposed to us receiving? It’s actually a blessing to both give and receive. It is more blessed to give than to receive. It is both blessed to give and receive. Matthew 7:7. You cannot give away what you have not been willing to receive. You have to receive in order to give. Matthew 10:8. God calls us to a higher principle of giving more than we receive.

4. What makes giving better or more blessed than merely giving? Proverbs 18:17; Proverbs 22:9; Proverbs 28:27

Jesus taught in the habit of giving not only in tithes and offering. He taught of the life philosophy of giving. The Bible gives many scriptures regarding our obligation to give. God doesn’t want us to give to get back, but to give because we should.

This sermon was given by Pastor Johnson A. Beaven, III on Communion Sunday.

Exodus 12:7-14
