Matthew 4:23 (NKJV) Jesus went about all Galilee, teaching in their synagogues, preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing all kinds of sickness and all kinds of disease among the people.

James 1:22 (MSG) Don’t fool yourself into thinking that you are a listener when you are anything but, letting the Word go in one ear and out the other.

ACT ON WHAT YOU HEAR!

• James 1: 22-24,NLT- But don’t just listen to God’s word. YOU MUST DO WHAT IT SAYS. Otherwise, you are only fooling yourselves.

• For if you listen to the word and don’t obey, it is like glancing at your face in a mirror.

• You see yourself, walk away, and forget what you look like.

1 Corinthians 11:23-26 (MSG) Let me go over with you again exactly what goes on in the Lord’s Supper and why it is so centrally important. I received my instructions from the Master himself and passed them on to you.

Colossians 1:13,NLT- For He has rescued us from the kingdom of darkness and transferred us into the Kingdom of His dear Son.

Jesus told us “That which is born of the Spirit is spirit, and the words that I speak to you are Spirit.”

Jesus’ words are what bring out the faith that’s in our born-again nature.

Here’s the deal, everything about our new world, our authority, dominion, and our effectiveness all hinge on this one Kingdom of Heaven foundation; we have to stay on the love line.

Which will absolutely require complete trust that God’s way is right.

Our real life is 100% spiritual. But most Christians only refer to this life, our humanity, as real life. The spiritual life is a someday life when we get to Heaven.

Let me ask you this, do you honestly believe you belong to a different world right now? How often do you think about that world? How the eternal world applies to this temporary one.

“Home for Christmas” is simply a reminder for us as we celebrate another Christmas holiday, to embrace being at home with Christ, and being comfortable with Him in our daily lives. Which means acknowledging who we are in Him.
