Giving is part of who we are as followers of Jesus Christ. Giving is what has set us apart from most religions. It is one of the traits that has set the United States apart from other countries. However, in our current culture giving is less and less becoming something to aspire to and something that is shunned. It is more about what you can get than it is what you can give. The scriptures tell us in the book of acts that it is more blessed to give than receive. Giving is greater than receiving. Jesus Himself exemplified this to the highest degree and as His followers we should too. However, it should flow naturally rather than do it as obedience to a law.

Yokes are not something that modern and contemporary societies know too much about. However, yokes were used a lot in times past. Mainly to gather more strength by teaming up two animals of like nature and stature. This would enable them to have more power for certain task. Be it farming, pulling or moving heavy items, etc... As followers of Jesus Christ we are too "yoke up" with Jesus and be a formidable force that the world needs. However, they are some "yokes" that we aren't suppose to take up. Today's message is about finding what not to "yoke up" with and how we are too "yoke up" with Jesus and with one another.

RLM believes in the next generation. They are not the church of tomorrow they are the church of today. There is no junior Holy Spirit. The same Holy Spirit that moves and leads us as adults is the same Holy Spirit that moves and leads the next generation. That is why the Jrnyth (The Journey Youth) are leading the service today. You will hear from young people as God uses them to lead us in worship and you will be encourage and challenged as you hear and see how God is moving in them and through them.

Jesus Christ is not a religious figure, or just a christian icon. He is God come in the flesh. But why did He think it was imperative that He come to earth as a man? Was it because Adam and Eve messed things up so bad that we couldn't fix it? Was it because He wanted revenge on mankind for destroying what He had created. No, no, no! He came so that He could make all things new and that most importantly included us, mankind. If we are in Christ we are a new creation and the old things are gone. He has come to make you new!

When Jesus road into Jerusalem the week before He was crucified the people Hailed Him as King. As Hosanna, one who comes to save. Many religious people told them they should be quiet and they even told Jesus how wrong the people were for singing His praises. Jesus told them if the people don't praise Him the rocks will cry out His praise. May our lips forever have his praise on them. Up from our hearts, over our lips, and to the world around us may we always sing His praise.
