God is good. And this season always has me reflecting on that for an even deeper reason - because I gave my life to Christ, after hearing the Christmas story, 10 years ago. In this episode I share my testimony and the power of the Christmas story. A simple Christmas cookie decorating event, hosted at my college sorority, brought me from a self-centered life to a Christ-centered life. On a mission to succeed and impress the world, yet wrought with anxiety, I bawled my eyes out after hearing about the hope that Jesus offers us. I knew I needed Him.Join me for my own story and lots of reflection on the scriptures that share the story of the birth of baby Jesus. Whether you have been walking with the Lord for many years, or are seeking answers to hard life questions, I pray that this conversation full of scripture is encouraging! 0:00 Introduction4:02 Prayer4:45 My testimony - where it all began in childhood6:53 Living for myself in my college years 9:30 Called to coaching before even knowing God11:53 Fearful of failing as an adult13:38 The Christmas story brought me to Christ14:40 People had been planting seeds for years17:17 The Christmas story23:25 The best decision you can ever makeScriptures referenced in this episode:Romans 8:28Luke 1:26-38Luke 2:4-12Romans 3:23John 14:6Links to other episodes mentioned:I Changed My Mind: YogaKnow that you can always reach out with prayer requests or listener questions by emailing me at movedbyhimpodcast@gmail.com (or message me on Instagram at @movedbyhim_)!Did you know that leaving a 5-star rating takes only a couple seconds?

This week Pastor Travis brings us a message about the resurrection of our Lord & Saviour Jesus Christ titled Two rescuers, One Cross.These are some of the Key scriptures from the message:Luke 23:32-33 (NLT)32 Two others, both criminals, were led out to be executed with him. 33 When they came to a place called The Skull, they nailed him to the cross. And the criminals were also crucified—one on his right and one on his left.Read Luke 23:34-38Luke 23:39 (NLT)39 One of the criminals hanging beside him scoffed, “So you're the Messiah, are you? Prove it by saving yourself—and us, too, while you're at it!”Luke 23:40-41 (NLT)40 But the other criminal protested, “Don't you fear God even when you have beensentenced to die? 41 We deserve to die for our crimes, but this man hasn't done anything wrong.”Luke 23:42-43 (NLT)42 Then he said, “Jesus, remember me when you come into your Kingdom.”43 And Jesus replied, “I assure you, today you will be with me in paradise.”Read Luke 23:13- 23Luke 23:25 (NLT)25 As they had requested, he released Barabbas, the man in prison for insurrection and murder. But he turned Jesus over to them to do as they wished.John 10:18 (NLT), 2 Corinthians 5:21 (NLT), Luke 24:1-12, Luke 24:46-49 (NLT)Thank you for listening and join us next time for more great teaching, Be Blessed.
Go into the world the way Jesus came into the world.John 1:1-51 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2 He waswith God in the beginning. 3 Through him all things were made; without him nothing was madethat has been made. 4 In him was life, and that life was the light of all mankind. 5 The light shinesin the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome [a] it.Why did He come into the world?Why do we go into the world?Why did He come into the world?John 3:16-1716 For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in himshall not perish but have eternal life. 17 For God did not send his Son into the world to condemnthe world, but to save the world through him.He came to save us…sin separates us from GodRomans 5:12-1912 Therefore, just as sin entered the world through one man, and death through sin, and in thisway death came to all people, because all sinned—13 To be sure, sin was in the world before the law was given, but sin is not charged againstanyone's account where there is no law. 14 Nevertheless, death reigned from the time of Adam tothe time of Moses, even over those who did not sin by breaking a command, as did Adam, whois a pattern of the one to come.15 But the gift is not like the trespass. For if the many died by the trespass of the one man, howmuch more did God's grace and the gift that came by the grace of the one man, JesusChrist, overflow to the many! 16 Nor can the gift of God be compared with the result of one man'ssin: The judgment followed one sin and brought condemnation, but the gift followed manytrespasses and brought justification. 17 For if, by the trespass of the one man, death reignedthrough that one man, how much more will those who receive God's abundant provision ofgrace and of the gift of righteousness reign in life through the one man, Jesus Christ!18 Consequently, just as one trespass resulted in condemnation for all people, so also onerighteous act resulted in justification and life for all people. 19 For just as through thedisobedience of the one man the many were made sinners, so also through the obedience ofthe one man the many will be made righteous.So we need saving from our sin that separates us from God…Only Jesus, through His birth, life,death and resurrection could atone for the sin of humanity.Why do we go into the world? – well…because He said soMark 16:1515 He said to them, “Go into all the world and preach the gospel to all creation. Matthew 28:16-2016 Then the eleven disciples went to Galilee, to the mountain where Jesus had told them togo. 17 When they saw him, they worshiped him; but some doubted. 18 Then Jesus came to themand said, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. 19 Therefore go and makedisciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the HolySpirit, 20 and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am withyou always, to the very end of the age.”So how do we go into the world the way Jesus came into the world?GENEROUSLYRomans 5:88 But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.2 Corinthians 9:11-1511 You will be enriched in every way so that you can be generous on every occasion, and throughus your generosity will result in thanksgiving to God.12 This service that you perform is not only supplying the needs of the Lord's people but is alsooverflowing in many expressions of thanks to God. 13 Because of the service by which you haveproved yourselves, others will praise God for the obedience that accompanies yourconfession of the gospel of Christ, and for your generosity in sharing with them and witheveryone else. 14 And in their prayers for you their hearts will go out to you, because of thesurpassing grace God has given you. 15 Thanks be to God for his indescribable gift!1. God enriches us…He provides for us to always be generous (every occasion)2. Our generosity will result in people thanking God3. Through the service of generosity, people will see your obedience that accompaniesyour action…they will see your faith in action…as you confess the gospel of Jesus4. They will see you loving them as a result of your faith, and praise GodSo yes, to go into the world the way Jesus came to the world, we would need to do itgenerously.SACRIFICIALLYPhilippians 2:1-112 Therefore if you have any encouragement from being united with Christ, if any comfort fromhis love, if any common sharing in the Spirit, if any tenderness and compassion, 2 then make myjoy complete by being like-minded, having the same love, being one in spirit and of onemind. 3 Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit. Rather, in humility value others aboveyourselves, 4 not looking to your own interests but each of you to the interests of the others.5 In your relationships with one another, have the same mindset as Christ Jesus:6 Who, being in very nature [a] God, did not consider equality with God something to be used to his own advantage;7 rather, he made himself nothing by taking the very nature [b] of a servant, being made in human likeness.8 And being found in appearance as a man, he humbled himself by becoming obedient to death— even death on a cross!9 Therefore God exalted him to the highest place and gave him the name that is above every name,10 that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth,11 and every tongue acknowledge that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.- Another version – the ESV - says that He emptied Himself-- Yet, He was fully God and fully Man-- It could mean that He set aside the privileges of deity that stand between the divineChrist and the shame and degradation and suffering and death of the cross. That's thepoint of Philippians 2:5–8. He moved from such height to such shameful degradation onour behalf.-- And that's the mind-set we're supposed to have as we serve others.Matthew 22:36-4036 “Teacher, which is the greatest commandment in the Law?”37 Jesus replied: “‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with allyour mind.' [a] 38 This is the first and greatest commandment. 39 And the second is like it: ‘Love yourneighbor as yourself.' [b] 40 All the Law and the Prophets hang on these two commandments.”John 13:34-3534 “A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must loveone another. 35 By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you love oneanother.”That kind of goes back to people seeing our faith in action and praising GodBUT…John 15:1313 Greater love has no one than this: to lay down one's life for one's friends.What does it mean to “lay down one's life” for someone?It most certainly means die for themIt could also mean to live for someone1 John 3:16-1816 This is how we know what love is: Jesus Christ laid down his life for us. And we oughtto lay down our lives for our brothers and sisters. 17 If anyone has material possessionsand sees a brother or sister in need but has no pity on them, how can the love of Godbe in that person? 18 Dear children, let us not love with words or speech but with actionsand in truth.-back to love in actionIt's easy to say that we would die for someone – because it's incredibly unlikely- Make a mental list of folks you would die for…you would lay down your life for- Would you live your life for the same people…now we're talking about layingdown our life…Do you see a trend?...to go like Jesus came is to live generously and sacrificially-It doesn't just honor God, but it shows people your faith in action and they will glorifyHim for it.COMPASSIONATELYTo extend love to others requires that we first understand something about their needs. Thatmeans trying to put ourselves in their shoes. - It may mean we observe and ask questions to better understand people's situations- It may first start by CARING about peopleEmpathy is our feeling of awareness toward other people's emotions and an attempt tounderstand how they feel. Compassion is a response to empathy or pity and creates a desire tohelp…it's empathy and pity in action…doing something about it.- Really loving our neighbor requires that, once we understand something aboutanother person's pain, we do what we can to ease it or to somehow lighten theburden. This is where empathy is transformed into compassion.Matthew 9:35-3835 Jesus went through all the towns and villages, teaching in their synagogues, proclaiming thegood news of the kingdom and healing every disease and sickness. 36 When he saw the crowds,he had compassion on them, because they were harassed and helpless, like sheep without ashepherd. 37 Then he said to his disciples, “The harvest is plentiful but the workers are few. 38 Askthe Lord of the harvest, therefore, to send out workers into his harvest field.”- Jesus is telling the disciples, from a place of compassion, to ask God to send us out-o To live like Himo To love compassionately – to love in action – so that people will come toknow HimLuke 7:11-1511 Soon afterward, Jesus went to a town called Nain, and his disciples and a large crowd wentalong with him. 12 As he approached the town gate, a dead person was being carried out—theonly son of his mother, and she was a widow. And a large crowd from the town was withher. 13 When the Lord saw her, his heart went out to her and he said, “Don't cry.”14 Then he went up and touched the bier they were carrying him on, and the bearers stood still.He said, “Young man, I say to you, get up!” 15 The dead man sat up and began to talk, and Jesusgave him back to his mother.This story gets me, because this is also my story.John 11:33-3533 When Jesus saw her weeping, and the Jews who had come along with her alsoweeping, he was deeply moved in spirit and troubled. 34 “Where have you laid him?” heasked.“Come and see, Lord,” they replied.35 Jesus wept.Romans 12:15-1815 Rejoice with those who rejoice; mourn with those who mourn. 16 Live in harmony withone another. Do not be proud, but be willing to associate with people of lowposition. [a] Do not be conceited.17 Do not repay anyone evil for evil. Be careful to do what is right in the eyes ofeveryone. 18 If it is possible, as far as it depends on you, live at peace with everyone.How do we show compassion like Jesus?1. Compassion is an action, not just pity.a. Action makes our love easier to see than just pity. In fact, At the end of the day,what the world needs most isn't a bunch of Jesus' followers who feelcompassionate but don't act on it. It needs followers of Jesus who are willing tobe compassionate, and act on it. If it's in your power, or through the power ofGod, then do something…but be helpful…pray for wisdom and discernment.b.2. We need to be open to interruption and involvement in people's livesa. What are our friends and family currently going through?b. Who has God put on your heart right now?...c. Let's pray that God would show usGenerously…. sacrificially and compassionatelyGalatians 5:22-2322 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness,faithfulness, 23 gentleness and self-control. Against such things there is no law.Matthew 7:1616 By their fruit you will recognize them….Are we generous to the point where people will glorify GodAre we sacrificial? Are we living our lives for others or ourselves?Are we compassionate? Do we act on our pity and even empathy?- If we go into the world the way Jesus came into the world, people will see our faith inaction…that's being disciples who make disciples…So how do we do that…other than the obvious things we've already talked about?1. If we're loving generously, sacrificially and compassionately, we're keeping Christ inChristmas.2. If there is a “war on Christmas”, it's because the soldiers lost their focus and abandonedtheir positions3. We're not called to verbal battles over “merry Christmas” vs “happy holidays”.Is it possible that we're telling the world to keep Christ is Christmas, but not doing it ourselves?Are we more likely to show Christian outrage more than outreach? We need a re-set if we'rereally going to show people who Jesus is.Poinsettias – elderly or sick – take one…don't take the treesDecember 10, 2023 Scripture ReferencesJohn 1:1-5John 3:16-17Romans 5:12-19Mark 16:15Matthew 28:16-20Romans 5:82 Corinthians 9:11-15Philippians 2:1-11Matthew 22:36-40John 13:34-35John 15:131 John 3:16-18Matthew 9:35-38Luke 7:11-15John 11:33-35Romans 12:15-18Galatians 5:22-23Matthew 7:16

Would it remind us of our identity in Christ as a child of The King?We spend some special moments with Mary as her shimmering headwear becomes evident. And is that a sword glinting in her hand? We also visit a good amount of scripture. How could we not when we are discussing the sword of the Spirit?Listen to this week's addition to the special Advent series as we see how the armor of God intertwines with the experience of the coming of Christ to help us stand strong in the Lord as we face our own battles.Merry Christmas, friend!Bible verses referred to in this episode:Ephesians 6:17Genesis 1:27Psalm 139:13-14Isaiah 43:7Luke 1:26-38Luke 1:39-45Luke 1:46-56Psalm 34:3Psalm 138:6Jeremiah 10:6Psalm 103:17Isaiah 52:10Job 5:11Psalm 107:9Psalm 98:3Psalm 105:8-10Find me on Instagram @HLynnPierce or at hlynnpierce.comSign up for my E-mail list here!Check out Mary's Journey - Letters Home!

Many modern churches treat core Scriptural doctrines with an attitude of indifference. Salvational issues are seen as a "coin toss" as to whether or not they are important. We must know what the Bible teaches about salvation and follow its instructions. 03/20/2022 - Sunday MorningScriptures Used (In Order of Occurrence): Proverbs 16:33Genesis 17:10-11, 23Joshua 5:2-3, 9Colossians 2:11-12Luke 24:47Acts 2:38Luke 13:3Mark 1:15II Peter 3:9Acts 17:30Acts 3:19Acts 11:18I Peter 3:21Acts 22:16John 3:5Galatians 3:27Acts 10:44-48Romans 10:9-16Mark 16:16I Corinthians 12:3Romans 8:9Matthew 15:8Proverbs 16:33Romans 1:18-20II Peter 1:10Acts 19:1-6Matthew 7:21-23Matthew 16:26

Mary, did you know? Of course she did. The angel Gabriel delivered a startling message to this unmarried teenager that she would be the mother of the MESSIAH and she BELIEVED. She went on to live out a life that proved she knew her God and believed what He said and gives us hope that we can be that kind of mama, too. Join us for this look into this famous Christmas mama and for a little Christmas sing-a-long of our most loved and most detested holiday songs. Hint: Kate has a real problem with a certain song about shoes.

Free will, though it makes evil possible, is also the only thing that makes possible any love or goodness or joy worth having. A world of automata – of creatures that worked like machines – would hardly be worth creating. The happiness which God designs for His higher creatures is the happiness of being freely, voluntarily united to Him and to each other in an ecstasy of love and delight compared with which most rapturous love between an man and a woman on this earth is mere milk and water. And for that they've got to be free…”“Of course God knew what would happen if they used their freedom the wrong way: apparently, He thought it worth the risk… If God thinks this state of war in the universe a price worth paying for free will, that is, for making a real world in which creatures can do real good or harm and something of real importance can happen, instead of a toy world which only moves when He pulls the strings, then we may take it that it is worth paying.”C.S. LewisRomans 8:18-22“I am bewildered. I had not intention to write atheistically. But I own that I cannot see, as plainly as others do, and as I wish to do, evidence of design and beneficence on all sides of us. There seems to me too much misery in the world. I cannot persuade myself that a beneficent and omnipotent God would have designedly created the Ichneumon Wasp with the express intention of feeding within the living bodies of caterpillars, or that a cat should play with mice.

It virtually sidesteps the problem of evil.”Greg Boyd“In the same way, Christ in principle defeated the powers with the unsurpassable love he unleashed through his incarnation, life, ministry, death and resurrection. D-day has been fought and won. But we are still waiting for V-day. In the meantime, there are many important battles to fight. Indeed, sometimes and enemy fights the hardest when they know their doom is certain.”Greg BoydJohn 10:10“If indeed there were a God whose true nature-whose justice and sovereignty- were revealed in the death of a child or in the dereliction of a soul or a predestined hell, then it would be no great transgression to think of him as a kind of malevolent or contemptible demiurge, and to hate him, and to deny him worship, and to seek a better God than he.”David Bentley Hart“The call of the gospel is for the church to implement the victory of God in the world through suffering love.” N.T.

There was good news because God had a plan. Mary should have been stoned. Joseph's betrothed is pregnant and the baby isn't his. Shepherds are outcast. The king is mad. But it was all part of the plan. A plan that had been set in motion at creation, moved forward with the exile of the Israelites, and then was glorified through the birth of a baby. It's good news that doesn't look like good news, but God had a plan. GloryLuke 2:10Luke 1:26-38Luke 1:46-56Luke 2:8-20Matthew 2:1-12Matthew 2:13-18
