Matthew 5:1-2

Do you find God ordinary or do you recognize his holiness? How are you preparing Gods work in you? How are you responding to Gods work in you, through you and around you? How do you receive his word? Have you received Jesus?

Do you want God to move you to the place of discipleship?

In our culture we take oaths, something to add veracity and verity to the ordinary.

Oaths are symbolic, established, and intended through process to become sacred.

Have you ever noticed our proclivity to "de-sanctify", make ordinary and average - "normalize" much of what is around us? Does it seem we are not interested in anything "special"? What is special to you? What is holy, sacred, valuable?

Is there anything in your home that you truly hold of value that would be willing to fight to protect?

Take Away:

God is calling us back to the sacred things - not the religious things. But the sacred places where his presence should dwell.

The pattern of this world: Romans 12:1-2

Faith is a community response. Luke 7 provides instances of faith - GREAT FAITH, something we can all learn from. A centurion sends out those within his community to make an appeal to Jesus - the religious and his friends, people beneath him, servants to a man of authority. Doubt and the sense of feeling unworthy can still exemplify great faith, as long as we do not allow our shortcomings to keep us from coming to Jesus.

Mark 14

What's in the box? The story of the alabaster box has in fact been told countless times as Jesus said it would. When we bring Jesus into our religion its going to cause a riot, when is the last time that Jesus has caused a riot in your religious observances?

What does God want to say to you today form the famous passage?

"The Distraction of Doubt" - We will look at Matthew 14:22-31 and examine the Events that Precipitated Peters Doubt. I believe we share the same struggles. Doubt, the assault on faith, masquerades as reality-checking and cynicism, but true faith reaches out to the hyper-reality - the greater reality that only through God are things possible.  I want to challenge your faith to grow and challenge your heart - to know that God is calling you to be a man and woman of faith - that we might be people who truly PLEASE GOD.
