April 23, 2023 The Verse That Changed My Life, Part II (John 8:31-32)
The Verse That Changed My Life
Part II; April 23, 2023
“John 8:31-32”

John
8:31-32, So, Jesus said to the Jews who had believed him, “If you
abide in my word, you are truly my disciples, and you will know the
truth, and the truth will set you free.” (ESV)

The Truth
frees us by reminding us:

Our
Weakness is an Opportunity for Christ’s Strength

2
Corinthians 12:7-9, So to keep me
from becoming proud, I was given a thorn in my flesh, a messenger from Satan to
torment me and keep me from becoming proud. Three different times I begged the
Lord to take it away. Each time he said, “My grace is all you need. My power works
best in weakness.” So now I am glad to boast about my weaknesses so that the
power of Christ can work through me. (ESV)

1
Corinthians 10:13, The temptations in your life are no different from what
others experience. And God is faithful. He will not allow the temptation to be
more than you can stand. When you are tempted, he will show you a way out so
that you can endure. (NLT)

Our
Confusion Finds Clarity in the Repetition of Candor

Psalm
139:13-14, For You
shaped me, inside and out. You knitted me together in my mother’s
womb long before I took my first breath. I will offer You my grateful
heart, for I am Your unique creation, filled with wonder and awe. You
have approached even the smallest details with excellence; Your works are
wonderful; I carry this knowledge deep within my soul. (Voice)

Isaiah
48:18, Thus says the Lord, your
Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel: “I am the Lord your God, who teaches you to profit, who
leads you in the way you should go. Oh, that you had paid attention to my
commandments! Then
your peace would have been like a river, and your righteousness like the waves of
the sea. (ESV)

Our
Darkness is no Match for Christ’s Light

1 Peter 5:10, After you have
suffered for a little while, the God of grace who has called you to His
everlasting presence through Jesus the Anointed will restore you, support you,
strengthen you, and ground you. (Voice)

Psalm
40:1-3, I waited patiently for the Lord to help me, and he turned to
me and heard my cry. He lifted me out of the pit of despair, out of the mud and
the mire. He set my feet on solid ground and steadied me as I walked along. He
has given me a new song to sing, a
hymn of praise to our God. (ESV)

our daily bread. And forgive us our debts as we forgive
our debtors. And lead us not into temptation, but
deliver us from evil: For thine is the kingdom and the power, and the glory,

him, he passed by on the other side. And likewise, a Levite, when he was at the
place, came, looked on him, and passed by on the other side. But a certain
Samaritan, as he journeyed, came where he was: and when he saw him, he had
compassion on him, And went to him, and bound up his wounds, pouring in oil and
wine, and set him on his own beast, and brought him to an inn, and took care of
him. And on the morrow when he departed, he took out two pence, and gave them
to the host, and said unto him, Take care of him; and whatsoever thou spendest
more, when I come again, I will repay thee. Which now of these three, thinkest
thou, was neighbour unto him that fell among the thieves? And he said He that
shewed mercy on him. Then said Jesus unto him, Go, and do thou likewise.

able to make all grace abound toward you; that ye, always having all
sufficiency in all things, may abound to every good work:

“Creating Kingdom Culture”

Matthew 6:9-10, Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy
name. Thy kingdom come, thy will be done in
earth, as it is in heaven. (KJV)

Jesus
Came to Establish a Kingdom in Our Hearts

John
18:36, My
kingdom is not recognized in this world. If this were My kingdom, My servants
would be fighting for My freedom. But My kingdom is not in this physical realm.
(Voice)

Jesus Died
Carrying Our Sin so, That We Could Carry His Love

Colossians
2:20-23, You have died with Christ, and he has set you FREE from the
spiritual powers of this world. So why do you keep on following the rules
of the world, such as, “Don’t handle! Don’t taste! Don’t
touch!” Such rules are mere human teachings about things
that deteriorate as we use them. These rules may seem wise because
they require strong devotion, pious self-denial, and severe bodily discipline.
But they provide no help in conquering a person’s evil desires. (NLT)

Galatians
5:13, For you have been called to
live in freedom, my brothers and sisters. But don’t use your freedom to satisfy
your sinful nature. Instead, use your freedom to serve one another in love.
(NLT)

Jesus Was
Resurrected so Our Pain Would Be Temporary and Our Joy Eternal

John
16:33, “I have said these things to you, that in me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation. But take heart; I have overcome the world.” (ESV)

Psalm 30:5, For his anger lasts
only a moment, but
his favor lasts a lifetime!
Weeping may last through the night, but joy comes with the morning. (NLT)

John 3:16-17, This is how much God
loved the world: He gave his Son, his one and only Son. And this is why: so
that no one need be destroyed; by believing in him, anyone can have a whole and
lasting life. God didn’t go to all the trouble of sending his Son merely to
point an accusing finger, telling the world how bad it was. He came to help, to
put the world right again. (MSG)

April 02, 2023 Kingdom Come, Part IV (Elevate the Kingdom Through Praise and Worship)
Kingdom Come
Part IV; April 2, 2023
“Elevate the Kingdom Through Praise
and Worship”

Praise –
Recognition of what God has Done/is Doing

Worship –
Recognition of Who God is to Us

Elevate
God by Giving Him Credit

Daniel 3:4-5, “You are commanded, O peoples, nations,
and languages, that
when you hear the sound of every kind of music, you are to fall down
and worship the golden image that King Nebuchadnezzar has set up of himself.”
(NIV)

Daniel
2:27-30, Daniel answered the king
and said, “No one can show to the king the mystery that the king has asked, but there is a God in heaven who reveals
mysteries, and he has made this known… But as for me, this mystery has been revealed
to me, not because of any wisdom that I have, but in order that the
interpretation may be made known to the king.” (NIV)

Matthew 23:12, Whoever exalts himself
will be humbled, and whoever humbles himself will be exalted.
You are NOT the Hero of Your Story

Keep Praising
God in the Valley

Acts
16:25, About midnight Paul and Silas
were praying and singing hymns to God, and the prisoners were listening to
them. (ESV)

When peace like a river, attendeth my
way / When sorrows like sea
billows roll / Whatever my lot, thou hast
taught me to say / It is well, it is
well, with my soul

Worship
is the Only Appropriate Response to God’s Heart

Romans
5:6-10, When we were utterly
helpless, Christ came at just the right time and died for us sinners. Now,
most people would not be willing to die for an upright person, though someone
might perhaps be willing to die for a person who is especially good. But God showed his great love for us by
sending Christ to die for us while we were still sinners. And since we have been made right in God’s
sight by the blood of Christ, he will certainly save us from God’s
condemnation. For since our friendship with God was restored by the death
of his Son while we were still his enemies, we will certainly be saved through
the life of his Son. (NLT)

Luke 7:47,
This woman has been forgiven much,
and she is showing much love. But the person who has shown little love shows
how little forgiveness he has received. (Voice)

those on his right, ‘Come, you who are blessed by my Father, inherit the
Kingdom prepared for you from the creation of the world. For I was hungry, and you fed me. I was
thirsty, and you gave me a drink. I was a stranger, and you invited me into
your home. I was naked, and you gave me clothing. I
was sick, and you cared for me. I was in prison, and you visited me.’ “Then
these righteous ones will reply, ‘Lord, when did we ever see you hungry and
feed you? Or thirsty and give you something to drink? Or a stranger and show you hospitality? Or
naked and give you clothing? When did we ever see you sick or in prison and visit you?’ “And the King will say, ‘I tell you the
truth, when you did it to one of the least of these my brothers and sisters, you were doing it to me!’(ESV)

Serving
is NOT About Abundance, it’s About Trust

Luke
21:1-4, While Jesus was in the
Temple, he watched the rich people dropping their gifts in the collection box. Then a poor widow came by and dropped in
two small coins. “I tell you the truth,” Jesus said, “this poor widow has given more than all
the rest of them. For
they have given a tiny part of their surplus, but she, poor as she is, has
given everything she has.” (ESV)

Ezekiel 16: 49-50, Behold, this was the guilt of your sister
Sodom: she and her daughters had pride, excess of food, and prosperous ease, but

Fellowship
is Worth the Sacrifice of Your Time

Hebrews
10:23-25, Let us hold strong to the
confession of our hope, never wavering, since the One who promised it to us is

greater love and to righteous deeds, not forgetting to gather as a community,
as some have forgotten, but encouraging each other, especially as the day of His return approaches. (Voice)

1 Peter
5:8-9, Be sober-minded; be watchful. Your adversary the devil prowls around like a roaring lion, seeking someone to
devour. Resist
him, firm in your faith, knowing that the same kinds of suffering are being
experienced by your brotherhood throughout the world. (ESV)

Investing
in People Takes Commitment and Mercy

Romans
16:17-18, I appeal to you, brothers,
to watch out for those who cause divisions and create obstacles contrary to the doctrine that you have
been taught; avoid them. For such persons do not serve our Lord Christ, but their own appetites. (ESV)

12:18, If
possible, so far as it depends on you, live

-Oswald Chambers

1 Corinthians 13:1-3, If I speak with human eloquence and angelic beauty but don’t love, I’m nothing but the creaking of a rusty gate. If I speak God’s Word with power, revealing all his mysteries and making everything plain as day, and if I have faith that says to a mountain, “Jump,” and it jumps, but I don’t love, I’m nothing. If I give everything I own to the poor and even go to the stake to be burned as a martyr, but I don’t love, I’ve gotten nowhere. So, no matter what I say, what I believe, and what I do, I’m bankrupt without love. (MSG)
John 14:21, He who has My commandments and keeps them, it is he who loves Me. (NKJV)
Build a Boat in the Desert

And since they had no root, they withered away. Other seeds fell among thorns, and the thorns grew up and choked them. Other seeds fell on good soil and produced grain, some a hundredfold, some sixty, some thirty.(ESV)

February 26, 2023
“Legacy”
Ephesians 6:4, Fathers, do not provoke your children to anger, but bring them up in the discipline and instruction of the Lord.
Address Their Attitude with Your Consistency
James 4:13-15, Come now, you who say, “Today or tomorrow we will go into such and such a town and spend a year there and trade and make a profit”— yet you do not know what tomorrow will bring. What is your life? For you are a mist that appears for a little time and then vanishes. Instead, you ought to say, “If the Lord wills, we will live and do this or that.” (ESV)
Deuteronomy 6:5-9, Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength. These commandments that I give you today are to be on your hearts. Impress them on your children. Talk about them when you sit at home and when you walk along the road, when you lie down and when you get up. Tie them as symbols on your hands and bind them on your foreheads. Write them on the doorframes of your houses and on your gates. (NIV)
Speak Words That Comfort and Encourage
Proverbs 13:24, Whoever spares the rod hates his son, but he who loves him is diligent to discipline him. (ESV)
Matthew 10:16, “Behold, I am sending you out as sheep in the midst of wolves, so be wise as serpents and harmless as doves. (ESV)
Ephesians 4:29, Let no corrupting talk come out of your mouths, but only such as is good for building up, as fits the occasion, that it may give grace to those who hear. (ESV)
Teach Your Children with Your Walk NOT Your Talk
1 Peter 2:21, For to this you have been called, because Christ also suffered for you, leaving you an example, so that you might follow in his steps. (ESV)
1 Peter 5:2-3, Care for the flock that God has entrusted to you. Watch over it willingly, not grudgingly—not for what you will get out of it, but because you are eager to serve God. Don’t lord it over the people assigned to your care but lead them by your own good example. (NLT)

Part II; February 19, 2023
“Honor”
Ephesians 6:1-3, Children, obey your parents in the Lord, for this is right. “Honor your father and mother” (this is the first commandment with a promise), “that it may go well with you and that you may live long in the land.” (ESV)
By Listening to Experience, We Embrace Wisdom
Proverbs 3:13-18, Joyful is the person who finds wisdom, the one who gains understanding. For wisdom is more profitable than silver, and her wages are better than gold. Wisdom is more precious than rubies; nothing you desire can compare with her. She offers you long life in her right hand, and riches and honor in her left. She will guide you down delightful paths; all her ways are satisfying. Wisdom is a tree of life to those who embrace her; happy are those who hold her tightly. (NLT)
Philippians 2:3-4, Do nothing from selfish ambition or conceit, but in humility count others more significant than yourselves. Let each of you look not only to his own interests, but also to the interests of others. (ESV)
Respect Cultivates Unity and Unity Generates Strength
Ecclesiastes 4:12, A person standing alone can be attacked and defeated, but two can stand back-to-back and conquer. Three are even better, for a triple-braided cord is not easily broken. (NLT)
A house divided against itself cannot stand (Abraham Lincoln)
Romans 14:13-19, Therefore, let us not pass judgment on one another any longer, but rather decide never to put a stumbling block or hindrance in the way of a brother… For if your brother is grieved by what you eat, you are no longer walking in love. By what you eat, do not destroy the one for whom Christ died… So then let us pursue what makes for peace and for mutual upbuilding. (ESV)
The Best Way to Honor Our Parents is to Honor God
Ephesians 6:1-3, Children, obey your parents in the Lord (ESV)
1 Peter 2:18-25, You who are servants, be good servants to your masters—not just to good masters, but also to bad ones. What counts is that you put up with it for God’s sake when you’re treated badly for no good reason…This is the kind of life you’ve been invited into, the kind of life Christ lived… He suffered in silence, content to let God set things right. He used his servant body to carry our sins to the Cross so we could be rid of sin, free to live the right way. His wounds became your healing. You were lost sheep with no idea who you were or where you were going. Now you’re named and kept for good by the Shepherd of your souls. (MSG)
