YTF – SAME GOD Yesterday Today Forever Week 1 Same God Our Posture Towards Jesus When we needed hope and joy – Jesus is our king, born in a stable, coming to be with us.When we needed salvation, Jesus is the Son of God on the cross, taking our sins. When we needed to overcome fear, even the fear of death, Jesus rises from the dead.When we needed to have a heavenly hope, Jesus presents himself, returning to the Heavens.
V2.023: End Game The Fear—Faith Era The year of divine discomfort. If you fear God, you won't fear the end. If we stand in the face of worldly fear without the fear of God, we are in the most treacherous of places. If you have faith in God, you won't have the desire to have faith in man-made solutions. The World has adopted a fear that has caused them to place their faith in themselves. Dread of the end or

Photographs of Faith Pt. 8 – Mary Forsaking All Photographs of Faith Pt. 8 – Mary Forsaking All The meaning of forsake: • renounce or give up (something valued or pleasant): All the men and women of faith gave up all that they knew for something they did not know. MEN AND WOMEN OF FAITH… These men and women of faith forsook all of their hopes and dreams to chase after the promises of God When we choose to forsake
Joseph – An ordinary man. Who was this man? *19-20 year old from Nazareth. Joseph grew up being taught who God was. He went to Hebrew School and had a Bar Mitzvah just like all the other boys. He lived in a culture that taught him to know and believe God in every area of life. Joseph's ancestors, Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Noah, Moses, and Rahab did their job of passing down the promise. Malachi to Matthew Silence…. 400 years Joseph
Rahab The last few weeks, we've been learning about faith and some of the people often described as “heroes of the faith” that are named in Hebrews 11. Hebrews 11:31 “It was by faith that Rahab the prostitute was not destroyed with the people in the city who refused to obey God. For she had given a friendly welcome to the spies.” Joshua 2 & 6 Who was Rahab? Rahab's story is probably the most relevant for today's time than
NOAH KNOWING Genesis 6:5-8 NKJV Then the Lord saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth and that every intent of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually. And the Lord was sorry that He had made man on the earth, and He was grieved in His heart. So, the Lord said, “I will destroy man whom I have created from the face of the earth, both man and beast, creeping thing and birds of
“In time, Joseph and all of his brothers died, ending that entire generation. But their descendants, the Israelites, had many children and grandchildren. In fact, they multiplied so greatly that they became extremely powerful and filled the land.”Exodus 1:6-7 NLT ”By faith Moses, when he was born, was hidden three months by his parents, because they saw he was a beautiful child; and they were not afraid of the king's command. Hebrews 11:23 *”By faith Moses, when he was born, was
Photographs of Faith The story of Joseph Gen. 37,39-50 I Wonder if Abraham ever thought about the journey his descendants would have go go on to finally see the promise come to pass? Faith is not about seeing the provision but holding onto the promise. Joseph would not see the promise in his lifetime, but played a major part in making sure that promise would come to pass. Make no mistake about it, Joseph had to have Great faith to
PHOTOGRAPHS OF FAITH 2 ABRAHAM You have no idea what God may produce through a single seed planted in faith. The settling of our expectations is the limitation of our faith. Maybe you believed in God's blessings at one time, but along the way, your disappointment has driven you to make your own plans. Our God is not in the business of consolation prizes. Abraham, the artist formerly known as Abram, labored through his dream. Genesis 12 – The great
Photographs of Faith 1 The Construct of Faith What Faith Is Not 1. Faith is not just a religious feeling. Trusting our entire eternal existence in how we feel is confusing and dangerous. Proverbs 28:26 (NLT) Those who trust their own insight are foolish, but anyone who walks in wisdom is safe. 2. Faith is not blind. It is not accepting something without evidence. Acts 17:10-12 (NLT) That very night the believers sent Paul and Silas to Berea. When they
CHEMISTRY OF A CHRISTIAN 10 The Construct of Intentionality THE RACE SET BEFORE US Hebrews 12:1-2 (ESV) Therefore, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us also lay aside every weight, and sin which clings so closely, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us, looking to Jesus, the founder and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame,
Chemistry of Christian 9 The Oath THE FLESH THAT BLINDS AND THE SPIRIT OF LIGHT Romans 8:5-9 (TPT) Those who are motivated by the flesh only pursue what benefits themselves. But those who live by the impulses of the Holy Spirit are motivated to pursue spiritual realities. For the sense and reason of the flesh is death, but the mind-set controlled by the Spirit finds life and peace. In fact, the mind-set focused on the flesh fights God's plan and
HOPE IN ACTION The Church is the hope of the world… ———————————————————————————————————————— 1. We carry the only message of real truth in the world. 1 Timothy 3:15 But if I'm delayed in coming, you'll already have these instructions on how to conduct the affairs of the church of the living God, his very household and the supporting pillar and firm foundation of the truth. The truth of Jesus and His finished work on the cross is something that the world
CHEMISTRY OF CHRISTIAN 8 THE ATMOSPHERIC EFFECT 2 CORINTHIANS 2:11 (NLT) …so that Satan will not outsmart us. For we are familiar with his evil schemes. Mark 4:37-40 (NLT) And a great windstorm arose, and the waves beat into the boat, so that it was already filling. But He was in the stern, asleep on a pillow. And they awoke Him and said to Him, “Teacher, do You not care that we are perishing?” Then He arose and rebuked the
SALT AND LIGHT YOU ARE THE SALT OF THE EARTH AND THE LIGHT OF THE WORLD. MATTHEW 5:13 (NIV) “You are the salt of the earth. But if the salt loses its saltiness, how can it be made salty again? It is no longer good for anything, except to be thrown out and trampled by men. What do a really good person and a really bad person have in common? The only real change they will ever have will
We are blessed to have Breckenridge as another way for God to reach His people. This service was our very first Worship Night at New Life Breckenridge and man was it awesome. Enjoy our audio recording of Pastor Craig Smee!
Chemistry of a Christian 7 Outright War LIGHT AND DARK THE DARKNESS Understanding the enemy – Why even study the darkness? 2 CORINTHIANS 2:11 (NLT) …so that Satan will not outsmart us. For we are familiar with his evil schemes. But when we look at the table of the blind… many of us understood the table even before we had filled in all of its elements. We have become accustomed to the darkness. Our comfort in the moment has us
Chemistry of a Christian 6 Spiritual Conflict Everything we have is a result of God's grace and goodness. THE WONDER OF HIS LIGHT Light is the culmination of the manifest character of God and the revealed character of God. JOHN 1:4 (NLT) In Him was life, and the life was the light of men. Jesus is both the manifest and revealed expression of God's character. LET THERE BE LIGHT (Genesis 1:3)God made something out of nothing. There was a
CHEMISTRY OF A CHRISTIAN 5 SOLUBLE THE 90-SECOND SUMMARY LET'S START WHERE WE LEFT OFF REMEMBER: The DIVINE comprises God the FATHER, God the Son or WORD, and God the HOLY SPIRIT. All three operate in unity around POWER, LOVE – Because God is Love, The Father has it, The Word has it, and the Spirit has it; Not forgetting the powerful JUSTICE and WISDOM. The Father MANIFESTS Himself to us by GRACE through the Word giving us IDENTITY. The
Chemistry of A Christian 4 Reflections and Refractions SUMMARY OF WEEK 3 The Table Of Divine Elements WHERE WERE WE? The truth and holiness of the Father declare Jesus' intent as righteous. The truth and holiness of the Father found Adams' intent faulty. Just as Adam's sin created unrighteousness, Jesus's true and holy intent produces righteousness for all mankind… Romans 5:12 (NLT) When Adam sinned, sin entered the world. Adam's sin brought death, so death spread to everyone, for everyone
Chemistry of a Christian 3 Core Origins RECAP The Purpose of This Project: To rediscover our supernatural and spiritual makeup. WHERE WERE WE? The Holy Spirit brings us into a relationship with the Word and therefore the Father. The Father initiates our identity, restores it through Christ, and brings the expression of its through the Holy Spirit. Making us in His image before the revelation of identity and relationship is the highest expression of GRACE. Through the Holy Spirit, God
So last Wednesday was NOT the last Wednesday before Life College starts so we had “in-between” service with Pastor Craig Smee introducing elements of Life College alongside Pastor Joey Bishop!
Chemistry of a Christian 2 Base Elements RECAP The Purpose of This Project: To rediscover our supernatural and spiritual makeup. The governance of all things was supposed to be based on the divine elements of the heavenly courts and His character. GENESIS 1:27 (NLT) So God created human beings in his own image. In the image of God he created them; male and female he created them. Genesis 1:27 (NLT) THE TABLE OF DIVINE ELEMENTS Our physical world intimately replicates the
Chemistry of a Christian 1 Divine DNA The Purpose of This Project: To rediscover our supernatural and spiritual makeup. Christianity has created a community that attempts to overcome by being combative and defensive as the first response. But we were designed to be image bearers and promote the elements of God's character. It is those elements that change circumstances, release us from bondage, heal the sick, transform and give us freedom. We combat addiction instead of embracing purpose. We fight
Living The Sacrifice Vision Sunday The God of Abraham Isaac and Jacob Genesis 12:1- (NLT) The Lord had said to Abram, “Leave your native country, your relatives, and your father's family, and go to the land that I will show you. I will make you into a great nation. I will bless you and make you famous, and you will be a blessing to others. I will bless those who bless you and curse those who treat you with contempt. All the

EXPLOSIVE PRACTICALITY 3 “IT IS FINISHED!” Later, knowing that all was now completed, and so that the Scripture would be fulfilled, Jesus said, ‘I am thirsty.' A jar of wine vinegar was there, so they soaked a sponge in it, put the sponge on a stalk of the hyssop plant, and lifted it to Jesus' lips. When He had received the drink, Jesus said, ‘It is finished.' With that, He bowed His head and gave up His spirit. John
EP2 – MY GOD WHY EXPLOSIVE PRACTICALITY MY GOD WHY? RECAP:Identity Blessing and PurposeSatan cannot change the character of God, He can not conquer the Word of God, so he attacks our ability to walk out the purpose of God. FATHER, FORGIVE THEMWhen we know His forgiveness, we are more open to repentance. MY GOD WHY? For three hours, beginning at noon, a sudden and unexpected darkness came over the earth. And at three o'clock Jesus shouted with a mighty

The Kingdom Fight – The Line in The Sand Psalm 2:1-12 TPT How dare the nations plan a rebellion. Their foolish plots are futile! Look at how the power brokers of the world rise up to hold their summit as the rulers scheme and confer together against Yahweh and his Anointed King, saying: “Let's come together and break away from the Creator. Once and for all let's cast off these controlling chains of God and his Christ!” Humanity choosing for
The Kingdom Fight – Clean Heaven and Earth (Eden) – Mankind was to partner with God to spread His Kingdom to all the earth. Mankind rebelled and rejected God's kingdom. Mankind brings hell on earth by rejecting God's kingdom and building their own. Jesus came to restore humanity and announce that His Kingdom has come! Humanity's struggle is the internal battle to do what is best for me and to redefine good and evil for my own comfort, convenience, and
