The rulers and authorities sent spies that they might seize Jesus with their words. The question was "should we pay taxes to Caesar, or not?" Paralleling this scene and King Solomon's wisdom, we cover the gift of discernment and the gift of word of wisdom.  Matthew 22:15-22Mark 12:13-17Luke 20:20-26Luke 12:12-12:131 King 3www.messagetokings.com

Psalm 133A Song of Ascents, of David“The brief didactic psalm employs two beautiful similes to illustrate the beauty and value of unity” Miller, 415. The two similes are the oil and dew. “The pilgrims came from many different walks of life, regions, and tribes, as they gathered for one purpose: the worship of the Lord in Jerusalem” VanGemeren, 815. 133:1 Behold, how good- “It is interesting that he gives no explanation as to why unity is good. Perhaps he does not need to do so, because this should be self-evident to everyone” Willis, vol. 3, 95. The word good is used in Gen. 1:4, 10, 12, 18, 21, 31. It is not good that man live alone in Gen. 2:18. “The word good in Ps. 133:1 reminds the reciter of God's provision of the community and relatedness for humanity” NICOT, 938. and how pleasant it is- Psalm 16:6, 11; 135:3; 147:1 “Again, the poet gives no reason for this” Willis, 95. “Strife demands more energy, whereas peaceful unity means the corporate body can reach common goals with less stress. If individual cooperate, then their efforts are multiplied” Longman, 439. 133:2 It is like the precious oil upon the head- The word translated precious in vs. 2 is the same Hebrew word translated good in vs. 1. “The pouring of oil over the head seems to have been an act of hospitality, signaling joy and relatedness (see Pss. 23:5; 92:10; Luke 7:46) as well as an official act of consecrating kings and priests” McCann, 1214. Joy in Ecc. 9:7-8; Matt. 6:16-17.Coming down upon the beard, even Aaron's beard- Lev. 21:5 The verb coming down is used three times- vss. 2, 2, 3. This stresses the origin of the blessings from heaven- Broyles, 474. Unity “is like precious oil that runs down on the high priest's beard, giving off a sweet-smelling fragrance (see Exodus 29:7; 30:22-33)” Lev. 8:12 Willis, 95. “Its fragrance could not be contained (Exodus 29:21)” Kidner, 453. “The anointed priest, in premonarchical days in particular, stood as a symbol of unity” Milller, 415. “The breastplate with the names of all 12 tribes. The oil thus symbolized the unity of the nation in worship under their consecrated priest” B.K. 888.133:3 It is like the dew of Hermon- “The dew is understood to be an agency of fruitfulness” Alter, 463. Isaiah 26:19; Hosea 14:5 Mount Hermon is the only snow-capped mountain in Israel- Longman, 439. “Mount Hermon in the north at the headwaters of the Jordan is the highest elevation in Palestine. A spur of the Anti-Lebanon mountains. Mount Hermon reaches a height of over nine thousand feet. Heavy dew is to found on it slopes early in the summer mornings even during the dry season” Miller, 416. Coming down upon the mountains of Zion- Ps. 48:2; 68:15-16; 87:2 “Situated more than one hundred air miles from Jerusalem, its dew could not literally come down upon the mountains of Zion. The simile is another allusion to the unifying effect that Jerusalem has on the nation” Miller, 416. Because of the geographical distance Alter, 463, emends the text to parched mountains instead of mountains of Zion. Zion is stressed in the songs of ascents- Ps. 125:1; 126:1; 128:5; 129:5; 132:13; 133:3; 134:3.Psalm 133 and JesusJohn 17:20-23; Eph. 2:11-22Mark 14:3, 6 The anointing oil was poured down upon Jesus. Matthew 10:34-37; Luke 12:51-53 Jesus is greater even than family and unity. 133:3 Mt. Zion as the place of blessing- Heb. 12:22-24; 13:14-16; Gal. 4:26; Rev. 14:1

In the morning, Jesus goes to Jerusalem and sees a fig tree.  Even though it wasn't the season for figs, he curses the fig tree "may you never bear fruit again." In the evening, the disciples passed by the fig tree and saw it withered and dead.  They were amazing and asked Jesus about it.  In this episode, we discuss the withered fig tree and the future death of the religious mountain in Jerusalem. Matthew 21:18-22Mark 11:12-24Hosea 9:10Jeremiah 8:13Micah 4:41 Kings 4:25John 1:48-50Luke 13:6-9www.messagetokings.com

Readings for this Sunday:2 Samuel 7:1-14aPsalm 89:20-37Ephesians 2:11-22Mark 6:30-34, 53-56

Jesus and His disciples come back into Jerusalem and as Jesus enters the temple, He sees much that shouldn't be. As He drives out all those who were buying and selling in the temple as opposed to worshiping He quotes Isaiah 56:7, and Jeremiah 7:11. “And He began to teach and say to them, “Is it not written, ‘My house shall be called a house of prayer for all the nations'? But you have made it a robber's den.” (Mark 11:17). Jesus displays another teaching moment today where again He poses the question “Is it not written?” as He teaches, and even still the chief priests and scribes seek to destroy Him. Scripture Study today:Matthew 21: 12-22Mark 11: 12-19Luke 19: 45-48John 12Feel free to share this post and this study with anyone you'd like as we progress through the week!

While the disciples went to and from Jerusalem, Jesus taught lessons on the road driving home the importance of his nature, the character of Christ.  "Lest we offend them," Peter caught a coin for the temple tax out of the mouth of a fish. Then, Jesus taught on humility, power by the wrong spirit, and three reasons people refused to be his disciple: comfort, money/tradition, and sin.  Matthew 17:24-18:9Matthew 8:18-22Mark 9:33-50Luke 9:46-50Luke 9:51-62www.messagetokings.com

First Sunday in LentYear BRCLGenesis 9:8-171 Peter 3:18-22Mark 1:9-15Psalm 25:1-9The CollectAlmighty God, whose blessed Son was led by the Spirit to be tempted by Satan: Come quickly to help us who are assaulted by many temptations; and, as you know the weaknesses of each of us, let each one find you mighty to save; through Jesus Christ your Son our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever. Amen.Old TestamentGenesis 9:8-17God said to Noah and to his sons with him, “As for me, I am establishing my covenant with you and your descendants after you, and with every living creature that is with you, the birds, the domestic animals, and every animal of the earth with you, as many as came out of the ark. I establish my covenant with you, that never again shall all flesh be cut off by the waters of a flood, and never again shall there be a flood to destroy the earth.” God said, “This is the sign of the covenant that I make between me and you and every living creature that is with you, for all future generations: I have set my bow in the clouds, and it shall be a sign of the covenant between me and the earth. When I bring clouds over the earth and the bow is seen in the clouds, I will remember my covenant that is between me and you and every living creature of all flesh; and the waters shall never again become a flood to destroy all flesh. When the bow is in the clouds, I will see it and remember the everlasting covenant between God and every living creature of all flesh that is on the earth.” God said to Noah, “This is the sign of the covenant that I have established between me and all flesh that is on the earth.”The PsalmPsalm 25:1-9Ad te, Domine, levavi1 To you, O Lord, I lift up my soul;my God, I put my trust in you; *let me not be humiliated,nor let my enemies triumph over me.2 Let none who look to you be put to shame; *let the treacherous be disappointed in their schemes.3 Show me your ways, O Lord, *and teach me your paths.4 Lead me in your truth and teach me, *for you are the God of my salvation;in you have I trusted all the day long.5 Remember, O Lord, your compassion and love, *for they are from everlasting.6 Remember not the sins of my youth and my transgressions; *remember me according to your loveand for the sake of your goodness, O Lord.7 Gracious and upright is the Lord; *therefore he teaches sinners in his way.8 He guides the humble in doing right *and teaches his way to the lowly.9 All the paths of the Lord are love and faithfulness *to those who keep his covenant and his testimonies.The Epistle1 Peter 3:18-22Christ also suffered for sins once for all, the righteous for the unrighteous, in order to bring you to God. He was put to death in the flesh, but made alive in the spirit, in which also he went and made a proclamation to the spirits in prison, who in former times did not obey, when God waited patiently in the days of Noah, during the building of the ark, in which a few, that is, eight persons, were saved through water. And baptism, which this prefigured, now saves you-- not as a removal of dirt from the body, but as an appeal to God for a good conscience, through the resurrection of Jesus Christ, who has gone into heaven and is at the right hand of God, with angels, authorities, and powers made subject to him.The GospelMark...

First Sunday in LentThis Lent we are once again invited to pay attention to our own desert. We investigate the desert of a society divided morally, politically, and in so many other ways. But we are also aware of a desert which we are called to enter willingly which helps us to open our hearts and our ears to the words of the Lord: “Repent and believe in the gospel.” We are invited once again into a process of metanoia, that is, of conversion and a change of mind and heart, of turning away from sin, and turning to God with all we are! In doing so, we become a light for others as well. As we begin this Lenten journey with curiosity, faith, and hope in our God of mercy and compassion, we walk with catechumens and candidates to the waters of baptism and the Easter Sacraments. For now, let us allow the ashes we received to burn not just our foreheads, but burn our hearts with the desire to follow Christ to the Cross, to the tomb, and to eternal life. Scripture Reading for February 18, 2024Genesis 9:8-15Ps 25:4-91 Peter 3:18-22Mark 1:12-15

Who is Marc?Marc Singer - The Men's CoachAfter being sentenced to life in prison for a crime he had not committed, Marc had to also endure the tragic deaths of his entire family, whilst in custody... Fast forward to now, he is a successful professional Men's mindset coach who works to help them discover their turning point and create a life that they choose.Key TakeawaysDespite being in a very bad situation, Marc didn't want to see himself as a victim, and had to choose to take responsibility for thoughts, feelings and actions, in order to move himself forward.it was only then that he discovered that he had the skills and attributes to become a great coach and this sent him on a path of self discoveryOur past may not take us into a life of crime, but mat prevent us from achieving our best, such as presenting us from being able to speak in publicMen specifically avoid moving forward with their lives a group that struggles the most in terms of everything that we do. Suicide rates are the highest with men. And that's a lot to do with a reluctance for men to sort of move forward. So the question I would ask is, why is that men struggle to move forward with their lives, and really take control of the things that matter most, which is your mindset. The way the mindset creates everything we do in life, it creates our thoughts, our feelings, and our actions. And if we're not in control of that, then our actions are not going to be conducive to the life that we're living.Valuable Free Resource or ActionLinks;www.marcsingercoaching.co.uk/http://www.facebook.com/leaderwithincoreenergy(4) Marc Singer ~ The Men's Coach | LinkedInhttps://youtube.com/@MarcSingerCoachingSeminarsA video version of this podcast is available on YouTube :_________________________________________________________________________________________________Subscribe to our newsletter and get details of when we are doing these interviews live at https://TCA.fyi/newsletterFind out more about being a guest at : link.thecompleteapproach.co.uk/beaguestSubscribe to the podcast at https://link.thecompleteapproach.co.uk/podcastHelp us get this podcast in front of as many people as possible.

And I've really, really looking forward to the next 1015 minutes we spent with this man Mark singer is the men's coach, he was sentenced to life in prison for a crime he hadn't committed, but he had to endure deaths of his entire family whilst in custody. And now he is a really successful men's mindset coach who works with them to help discover their Turning Point and create a life that they would choose now I think this is gonna be a really fascinating few minutes. Mark, I really am looking forward to this welcome to It's not rocket science, five questions over coffee.Marc Singer  01:14Thank you very much for having me on.Stuart Webb  01:16Look, what do you do you want to just start by describing those men that you're trying to reach? And the sort of people they are? And?Marc Singer  01:33Yeah, yeah, no, that's fine. Yeah. I mean, like, as you said, I went through a traumatic set of variances, which then create the lives that they choose. And, yeah, it was a it was a bit of a journey. So as you just said, they're convicted of a crime that had been in God, the trauma or all of that, whilst actually raising the family funerals and selling the family, home and so on whilst in prison, whilst not knowing if I was ever going to be actually released from prison, so, but I sorted as an opportunity to turn my life around, eventually secured really no, I'm a professional coach, working with men to help them create the lives that they choose as well. So that's what I now do.Stuart Webb  02:21So tell me, how did you I mean, what are the what are they doing? And who are they trying to reach at the moment? And why? Why is your approach different? What was it about the your experience that helped you to see that as a positive, and turn your life around?Marc Singer  02:40Well, actually, well, when I was in prison, I hit rock bottom. And for a period of time, saw myself as a victim, and then it was that realisation that I never wanted, I didn't want to see myself as a victim, and I had to choose to take responsibility for my thoughts, feelings and actions, in order to move myself forward. I never wanted to be a victim. So it was at that moment, I decided enough was enough. And it was then that I decided to deal with that, then then instead of my actual situation where I was the prison and so on, which I couldn't change I could only change what I was doing how I was working. So I failed, because more were then and that led me to a situation when I did actually secure release I fell into code. King, no, no. And it was only then that I discovered that I had the skills and attributes to become a great coach myself and it was sent me on a path of self discovery and and oxide pectins chip professional excellence in coping, and I enrolled with them. And two years later, I qualified as a professional coach, and an S. Now what I do I work with men, particularly, to help them overcome whatever's in their wine. The reason I work with men, typically now, back in the day normal guys who are looking to have some sort of breakthrough in their lives and looking to move forward with their lives. There is a lot of stigma, and I work to break that down so that men can deal with what, whatever they're going through in a moment, and not to put forward to things like this because they have that belief or attitude that it's more feminine, it's more for women. It's not necessarily for working class got that then holds them back from moving forward. So I do tend to work with a lot of guys who are normal everyday guys who look not so much in terms of like dealing with the emotional side because that's what all All of us do, but we deal with it in a different way. But it's more given a more common sense. way of moving forward without all of fluffiness ism a common sense process work way of working forward, which helps them create whatever they want with their lives and, and it's effective and it helped them choose.Stuart Webb  05:22Mark, I love your message, I love what you're doing. And I'm just going to put a ticker across the bottom of the screen now, which is, which is your website, which is Mark, as Mark Mar, see, singer coaching.co.uk That's M AR C. Singer coaching.co.uk. Mark, there's lots of great stuff on your website. And I know you're in the process at the moment of writing a book which, which I hope is going to be a real, real bestseller to tell us tell us what is what's going to be in your book, what's, what's the stories in that book that you're going to sort of write and help men to discover this path from, from what you're telling them?Marc Singer  06:09Yeah. The book is my journey. It's a story about the only the tip of the iceberg. But when you look at the whole story, because there's a heck of a lot more to it, it was my journey and why I ended up in place one motion. So it really goes back to the beginning where I started. And I actually got involved in a gang I was involved in drugs and things like that when I left school, football violence and things like that. So I created a whole set of antisocial beliefs and attitudes which dogged me for many, many years after, and that led me into countless situations which were antisocial, and, you know, with the police, and so on. But it was many years from all of that in my 30s that I actually got convicted of the thing that I went to prison for. And even though I hadn't done, what they convicted me of, it was actually my own beliefs and attitudes that created that situation inadvertently, and only realised that later on because I I hadn't dealt with the underlying stuff that dogs been for many, many years on the surface or surface I hadn't. I hadn't had I dealt with the beliefs and attitudes at an earlier stage, I wouldn't have been involved in motion to begin with. And so I recognise that when I was in prison, and I started doing the work on the beliefs and attitudes whilst in there, that then helped me change my belief system so that it was more prosocial, more able to move moving forward. And a lot of us in life, we tend to develop beliefs and attitudes as we go through life, which affect us in different ways as we move forward. And it could be something. For instance, I'm working with a guy at the moment who, who's a businessman who struggles doing live speaking events. Now, the reason why he does that is because something that affected him many, many years ago when he was a kid. And he hadn't dealt with those beliefs and attitudes, which are now holding, holding him back from being is at his most comfort in front of people. So it's those sorts of things that I work with to help them identify and remove or change. And so understanding how our mind works is imperatively important for us to be at our best. And it's anything in life, if you want to be a footballer and you want to be the best, then guess what you're going to work on different aspects of become the best version yourself. And if you're a business minister, same thing, if you want to use your mindset, to the best of its ability, you're gonna have to learn how to do that. And many of us don't understand how our minds work fully. And don't understand how the beliefs and attitudes and things that we develop years before affect us in the current. And it's important that we do our best. So a lot of the stuff in the book is about that. It's about how my journey went from where I was to where I am now and everything in between there. But it's also more about individual reading the books is about me, it's about the people, whoever everybody's going through some sort of transition, transfer transformation in life. Doesn't matter who you are. And it's important that we understand how we can work our way through things like that in a more positive and productive way. And my book is about everybody, it's not just about me. It's about whoever you are away from create what you life. And that's the whole premise of the book. It's hast Half Life Story autobiography, half self help book.Stuart Webb  09:41I love it. I absolutely love it. I really think that's a brilliant way of putting it. Listen, normally my fourth question when we get to this point of the interview is about what book or what programme? Do you sort of, did you discover which actually sort of you know helps you get forward? You've sort of described a lot of that but is there a cific instance of something you'd like to leave the audience with to say, This is why you've got two graphs. Now this is what you've got to do. This is what I did to, to push me in the direction I'm taking now.Marc Singer  10:14Yeah, I mean, basically, what ask is that? What are the likes of? You know, Elon Musk, Steve Jobs Christianna Cristiano Ronaldo, Bill Gates when all of these people got in common? And the answer is, they all have a coach. And I think there was a general misconception, many people that if you ask for help in any way, in life, if you have a coach, if you have a mentor, it means you're weak in some way that you're struggling in life. And so many people avoid reaching out and asking for help, because I think it's a slot that's on this. And it means that they haven't got the ability to do it themselves, and that they're struggling. And I have a device. And it's a common misconception that a lot of people have, that you know, you have, you have to be, you know, mentally challenged or depressed or something like that, in order to reach out and get a coach. And it's really not the case, it's just it really is for the people who want to be the best versions of themselves. And that's essentially the difference between something like therapy and coaching. Coaching is for people, sorry, therapy is for people who want to delve into a certain life coaching is for people who want dispersions. Simple as that. And so my advice would be to people who are, you know, looking to progress in their lives and become the best version of yourself to consider hiring a coach. And so, in order to do that, there's no, it's no coincidence that six people in all have coaching? And that's one of the things I would learn. I'd say, you know, again, yeah, I mean, I learned a philosophy when I changed my life. And that, if you are asking me about a book called leadership by Bruce Knight, and he's the one he is the founder. And I would suggest anybody who's interested in find out more about that, check that book out.Stuart Webb  12:09Globally, Mark, listen, I've spent the last 1015 minutes asking you a bunch of questions. And there must be a question that you're currently thinking, Well, why isn't he asked me a bag, whatever. So my Get Out of Jail Free card at the moment is to turn around, get out of jail free card, what a wonderful thing to have for a few years in your life. Anyway, my purse, my question that I'm going to put to you now is, what's the question that you would have liked me to have asked that I haven't done yet. And obviously, I'm going to make you do the work again, I'm going to ask you to answer the question that you asked yourself. So what is the question you would particularly like me to?Marc Singer  12:53Well, again, I mean, it's really, what what is it that people, you know, why is it that people, men pacifically avoid moving forward with their lives? I mean, this is the thing that people look at the the general demographic of men, we're with a group that struggles the most in terms of everything that we do. You know, suicide rates are the highest with men. General issues, such as women is the highest in society. And that's a lot to do with a reluctance for men to sort of move forward. So the question I would say, you'd ask is, why is that men struggle to sort of move forward with their lives, and, you know, really take control of the things that matter most, which is your mindset, and your, the way we the mindset creates everything we do in life, it creates our thoughts, our feelings, and our actions. And if we're not in control of that, then our actions are not going to be conducive to the life that we're living. And it's very important that we do that. Because most of settling in life for things that we don't truly want. And if we really want to be at our best, we have to be in control. And the question I would ask is why why do you? Why why is it that men does some common misconception among general men that it's or it's for a feminine all these different labels that people put things on? And none of it is true? It's inaccurate, completely. And I think mainly, a lot of guys will avoid doing these sort of things or investing in a coach because they feel that, you know, there's, you know, the old fashioned belief is just get on with it mentality is just get on the, you know, stiff upper lip, and I had that for a long time when I was in prison. And, yes, it has a place in some ways in society to do that. But the reality is, like I said, it's a misconception because people assume that by getting on with things when you're tough in some way, but it's actually the opposite. A real strong guy in life is the man who asked for help to help and it doesn't mean mentally. Ill like I just explained it in a in a You know, mentally ill way or you're struggling with the president is a way in which we all get forward in life, the most successful people in life always do. So I would say the answer to that question is to not judge things before you, you know, move forward, always have an open mind when you go. In life, generally, very closed minds, even though we tell ourselves, we've got an open mind, we will actually judge pretty much everything from our past beliefs and perspectives. And that then stops us things with any sort of clarity and objectivity. And it's very important that most of us see things with that. Because if you don't, you won't learn, you won't grow. And like me, I would have been stuck in prison. Still, I wouldn't be here talking to you today, if I had that sort of mindset. Because had I believed what everybody was telling me at that time, which was, you're never getting out of prison. There's no point I had no release date, it was a lot harder believe that I wouldn't have got out, I chose not to believe that I created my reality by my actions day in day out by focusing on myself and being the best version I could possibly be learning, exercising and doing all the things I knew, that would help me move forward. So it doesn't matter what your circumstances in life doesn't matter. If we've got a cost of living Christ says it doesn't matter if there's a war in Ukraine, it doesn't matter if there's COVID going on, it doesn't matter if we're struggling, that we're struggling through, we can all be successful with the right mental approach. And that's very, very, very important for any of us, specially right now, with what was going on around us. And, you know, there's the most successful people are the ones who walk through any sort of recession and things like that, and grow from it, rather than allowing it to force them to, you know, crumble basically,Stuart Webb  16:45I absolutely love what you're talking about, I think it's so, so brilliant. I mean, really, really appreciate the message you're putting across. And I think you're right, men are taught from a very young, early age, you know, it's the big boys don't cry, suck it up, get on with it. And, you know, we suffer for years because of it. I, I know, find most of my ideas from turning to people around me and go, What do you think, and you know, as business people, as leaders of businesses, the one thing that we can't afford to do is to just close down outside help and close down coaching and close down mentoring. We need those people to help drive us on and drive our businesses on to be the best. So I think what you're doing is brilliant. I love the story. Absolutely. Looking forward to the book. I know it's not out yet. I know he's coming soon. I'm looking forward to getting my hands on a copy of that book and reading it and I should be I should be sort of promoting it through through things like this podcasts and things like that.

“Binding” (forbidding) and “loosing” (permitting) were necessary because the Law of Moses could not contain all the regulations necessary to govern a congregation and society. Therefore, the religious leaders were required to “bind” and “loose” activities in the congregation that were not specifically included in the Law of Moses. This was true in Jesus' day, and guess what? It is still true today.Scripture References:Matthew 16:13-20Matthew 7:7-8Acts 2:14-40Matthew 28:18-19Acts 4:11-12Acts 15:22-31John 20:22Mark 2:7-10Acts 4:12Act 2:42-47; 4:28-33Ephesians 2:2Revelation 20:1-3James 4:7Thank you for your support.

The Gospel of Mark tells us of a blind beggar named Bartimaeus who was desperate to get to Jesus.  Putting his faith into action, he became an example to us as he rose, cast off his beggar's garment, and came to Jesus. When we come to Jesus, as Bartimaeus did, we don't need our old identity anymore, for He has a better garment for us - one of salvation. 01/02/2022 - Sunday MorningScriptures Used (In Order of Occurrence):Mark 10:46-52Hebrews 11:6Ephesians 4:22-24Luke 15:21-22Mark 2:21Revelation 3:5John 14:62 Corinthians 5:17

This weekend I was convicted of the important of walking in forgiveness to walk close to God. It is not always easy to forgive or to apologize, but God calls us to forgive and in that forgiveness He brings healing and freedom. Note. It is really hard to forgive sometimes. Like so hard. I know. Two of the people who have hurt me the deepest never apologized and it took me going through counseling to recognize the importance of forgiving them and then going through the process so I could forgive them. Note this is not an exhaustive discussion of forgiveness, like how important it is to forgive yourself, just what I was thinking back on this weekend.

Healthy, transformational relationships focus on others' needs. We must relentlessly show love to others—even when they say they don't want our love.

Welcome back to this weeks Reading and Bible concentration dive. These videos are meant to build off of what we are experiencing as a body on the weekend experience and not necessarily stand alone. Our current series is all about the things that Jesus left us to complete our mission of 'Connecting People To Christ'. If you have a desire to participate in the mission but things don't seem to be clicking or working towards that then perhaps you need to engage this weeks tool. SCRIPTURE. In this dive we take a look at the greek word for 'Training' because that is what Deeper Dive is all about. Is there a Star Wars connection? Finnley thinks so. I also pull out a favorite sermonizing resource and read a few quotes that are interesting. Have a great week enjoying the things that Jesus has left us:Here are the verses:Psalm 19:7-13Psalm 119:11Hebrews 4:12James 1:22Mark 4:35-5:43https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=laNUe2-m8lA

In this episode, Rev. Gibson and Johnny talk about seeking refuge, making a place to dream and pray, and how we must make ourselves a dwelling place for the Lord. Johnny goes on his own Indiana Jones search for the location of the Ark of the Covenant and Beverly shares her vacation stories and insights from Arkansas, Christ of the Ozarks, and Thorncrown Chapel. Rev. Gibson's sermon this weekend focuses heavily on the inspiration of the safe and purposeful space of Thorncrown Chapel. This beautiful and peaceful sacred tourist destination that offers travelers and guests tranquility and inspiration for a guest to worship, look inward, rest and dream. Who are monuments and buildings of worship like Thorncrown Chapel and Christ of the Ozarks built for, God or his us? Beverly and Johnny explore the nature and our need for these architectural and spiritual havens, portals, and locations. To round out this show Rev. Gibson discusses the universal quest many have to find shelter and peace in this noisy and disruptive world. For Christians, many of us seek a closer relationship with Christ for this sense of wholeness, refuge, and peace. Are we honoring this mission by purposely acknowledging that the architecture of our faith is built on the foundation of the Saints with Christ is our cornerstone? Christ unifies us into a new humanity and Kingdom. If we can create the right environment to feel safe, dream, and be open to transformation we can cease becoming aliens and strangers and find our rightful place as a full citizen of Christ.
