“God opposes the proud, but gives grace to the humble.” – James 4:6 1 Peter 5:5 Proverbs 3:34

Scriptures to meditate on:  Philippians 4:6-7 (https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Philippians+4%3A6-7&version=ESV) ESV  Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. 1 Peter 5:7 (https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=1+Peter+5%3A7&version=ESV) ESV  Casting all your anxieties on him, because he cares for you. Philippians 4:13 (https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Philippians+4%3A13&version=ESV) ESV  I can do all things through him who strengthens me. Matthew 6:25-34 (https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Matthew+6%3A25-34&version=ESV) ESV  “Therefore I tell you, do not be anxious about your life, what you will eat or what you will drink, nor about your body, what you will put on. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothing? Look at the birds of the air: they neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not of more value than they? And which of you by being anxious can add a single hour to his span of life? And why are you anxious about clothing? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow: they neither toil nor spin, yet I tell you, even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these. ...

July 19, 2020. Any gardener knows that weeds are a never-ending challenge. Pastor Meagan preaches today on Jesus' parable of the weeds among the wheat, and how our world and our lives are a lot like the field in the story.Readings: Isaiah 44:6-8, Romans 8:12-25, Matthew 13:24-30, 36-43*** Transcript ***In our gospel today, Jesus takes his parable about the sower and the seed from last week and he extends it, saying that these gardens that have so many weeds growing in them are like the Kingdom of Heaven. And as much as I love gardens, I am not a very skilled gardener, so my first reaction to hearing this image quite honestly is, “Ugh!” Any gardener knows weeds are a never-ending challenge. This spring, it seemed like every time we thought we had gotten all of the dandelions up, we would turn around and there would be half a dozen more. And of course dandelions aren’t ones that you can just grab with your hand and pull up easily. It takes some work with a weed puller to get at the roots. And even so, often at least part of it will remain tightly entrenched in the soil. Or more seeds, unseen in the earth, are preparing themselves to sprout, leaving the possibility that another dandelion will pop up where the last one lay.And being new to St Louis, and tending new gardens, there are of course many things growing in our yard with which we are not yet familiar. Often, as a new plant would sprout, one of us would say to the other, “Is that a plant or a weed?” And as often as not, the other would say, “Beats me.” We've learned a lot by uploading photos to online plant identification apps, or posting pictures on Facebook and asking friends what they thought. But we've been left with a certain amount of guesswork, pulling out what we believed to be weeds, and leaving what we weren't sure of. In the front yard, we had several small lily flowers pop up in just random places. They bloomed beautifully and then they died, leaving green leaves and a brown, crusty stem behind in the midst of the grass. I initially advocated to leave them where they grew. But once the flowers died, they provided far more of a challenge as Karen would attempt to mow around them than they offered in beauty. So I relented, and Karen took them out. “Are they plants or weeds?” “Beats me.”And the process of weeding, as we all know, is an ongoing one, requiring patient, hard work — and it is as much about tending the plants and flowers as it is about removing the weeds. I learned long ago to take it in blocks, addressing one section, then another, then another, of the garden beds. Attempts to remove all the weeds at once have never ended well. So, this parable of the weeds in the wheat as the Kingdom of Heaven definitely gives me pause. But the more I think about it, the more it resonates. Because in spite of my initial “ugh” reaction to this image, truth be told, this world, and our lives, are an awful lot like the field in Jesus’ parable — not clean and neat, yielding only wheat and no weeds, but a mix of wheat, weeds, and things we can’t even identify.I remember as a teenager getting into an argument with one of my brothers, probably about something really silly, and feeling desperate for him to know that I was right. And the more we got into it, the more my voice went up — and the more I tried to make myself tall (a futile effort at any time). And my brother said, “You’re really mad about this!” And in the midst of my unawareness, I replied of course, “No, I’m not.” “Oh yeah, you are.” “No, I’m not!” “Uh huh!” “No I'm not! Stop telling me I'm angry! You're just wrong!" I was so frustrated and angry. It was happening right inside me, and yet I couldn’t see it. Has anyone else ever had that happen? Where something was going on around you, or with a another person, or inside you, and you just couldn’t figure it out?Over the years, getting to know myself, understanding how I am feeling or what I am doing, and what is helpful and what is not, what is wheat and what is weed if you will, has been a process — much like the ongoing process of weeding a garden. Because being human is not a clean, neat, clear venture, but really super complicated at times. Paul describes it in a lot of different ways, today using the image of labor pains to describe the challenges of living through this process of becoming, of finding our way when so many things can distract and block us from seeing and doing God’s will in the world. In Luther’s language, we are all sinner and saint. We all have weeds and wheat. I think of it as living through a really messy middle, certainly in process, but not there yet.The good news in all of this is, God knows this. And as it tells us in Isaiah today, no matter what, we belong to God. We have been adopted, chosen, to be God’s children, beloved. And from “of old,” Isaiah says, God has told us that only God is God. In other words, in all this messiness, of good and evil, saint and sinner, God is ultimately in charge. We are not. We, along with all of creation, are in process, family of faith. And God is with us in that. God will be faithful right up to the end. And we can have hope that in the end, God will heal all wounds, remove all evil, leaving only the wheat that is growing along the way. Jesus’ parable tells us this too. He says it is not up to us to pull out all of those pesky weeds and create a perfect garden. It's enough for us to live what we call the theology of the cross — we name the wheat and the weeds, the good and the evil that we see, as best we can. We do what we can with God’s help to nurture the good, in ourselves and in others.C. T. Vivian and Congressman John Lewis, who had been working for decades for civil rights and racial justice, against the evils of racism and oppression, know this. Last year Congressman Lewis said, "Do not get lost in a sea of despair. Be hopeful. Be optimistic. Our struggle is not the struggle of a day, a week, a month, a year. It is the struggle of a lifetime. Never be afraid to get in some good trouble," said congressman John Lewis. And we too can do this, trusting that in the end, only God will be able to sort it all out. Twelve Step spiritual wisdom tells us this too — it is our job to listen, to tend, to notice, and to name, and to ask God for help. But removing the weeds of our lives is up to God and not ours.Jesus tells his followers that in the end, the weeds will be cast into the fire, conjuring up perhaps images of the devil and those overcome by sin, burning in hell. Interestingly, overwhelmingly in scriptures, fire is very sacred. Fire lets Moses know that he should pay attention, that something is happening that he needs to learn about. Fire guides the Israelites in the desert by night. And tongues of fire come upon the disciples at Pentecost, purifying them and empowering them for the work that they have ahead.We all tend to resist the refiner’s fire. Moses comes close to the bush, but he's shaking in his boots. Israelites get weary and frustrated because the end isn’t coming soon enough. The disciples go out after having been blessed by fire, and the people notice their transformation and question it, because of its power. We do this too, when we resist facing the realities of racism and other evils, and see how we ourselves have been blind and complicit with systemic oppressions in this world. Or when we are called out for something we aren't aware that we were doing, we can resist that. Or when we in shame realize something of our own sinfulness, our own being, to change. Because being transformed isn't comfortable, is it? Recognizing the weeds in us isn't comfortable. Living in the messy middle is hard. And sometimes all we want is for this process we are living in to be over. “Is it wheat or weeds?” “Beats me.”We can be encouraged by Isaiah’s words that God’s promises are from the beginning, and they stretch all the way to the end. Jesus promised that God is not going to abandon us to be overcome by the weeds, even though it may seem that way at times. It’s not our job to pull all those weeds out — thank goodness! Because that is a job that is beyond us. It is enough that we tend our gardens as best we can, ask God for help, and trust in God to sort it all out.Thanks be to God.*** Keywords ***2020, Christ Lutheran Church, Webster Groves, sermon, podcast, YouTube, video, transcript, Pastor Meagan McLaughlin, Isaiah 44:6-8, Romans 8:12-25, Matthew 13:24-30, Matthew 13:36-43

The "Hebrew of Hebrews" was headed for hell. There were few as accomplished in the Jewish religion as Saul of Tarsus. And yet he was rejecting God's Messiah and murdering believers, right up to the moment he was grabbed by grace. If anyone knew that the Law doesn't save, it was our old friend, Paul. Well, what about you? What rules are you keeping, to buy your way into heaven? Here's Part 3 of our Galatians study. Pastor Jim calls the message The First False Gospel.

The Damascus Road encounter wasn't the only revelation to Paul. In his letters we get the impression that Paul doesn't like to trade on his heavenly visions. He'd rather keep quiet about them. We only get a few glimpses of these revelations when he's pressed hard. And he grants one of those glimpses to the Galatians. Here's Jim with Part 2 of The First False Gospel.

There's one New Testament church that's forever associated with the word, "foolish." "O, foolish Galatians!" cries Paul. "Who has bewitched you?" His disappointment in them leaps off the page. They had the gospel, they'd believed the gospel, and then when Paul's back was turned for an instant, it seemed, they were mesmerized by an anti-gospel. In this sermon Jim calls it The First False Gospel.

Neuroscientists and mystics tell us the same thing: our minds have been conditioned towards negativity, which all of us then do more or less well at fending off. But the great teachers tell us it doesn't have to be that way. Join Dave Schmelzer for a look at how bone-deep loving kindness can change us from the inside out.    Mentioned on this podcast   An online small group on these things on Wednesdays at 9pm Eastern time or on Sundays at 6:30pm Eastern time.

"And here's what's crazy. Jesus treating the Sabbath as a day for blessing and giving life and freeing people, that led the Pharisees and teachers to want to kill him. Why?"

Evening message by Dr. Keith Shorter on 01/26/20. Genesis 15:6 Visit Us Online

January 5, 2020, | Pastor Nathan Elms We must cleanse our hands because they are dirty with sin. We must purify our hearts because they are divided, and we are distracted. This means we stop making excuses for bad attitudes, for casual unkindness, for clever put-downs, for dabbling in pornography, for bragging about our accomplishments, for envy of others, for bitterness, for a critical spirit, for our prayerlessness, for our need to be in control, for giving in to despair, for hating our enemies instead of loving them, and for our failure to do what we ought to do. James 4:6-10 https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=James+4%3A6-10&version=NKJV   James has a unique situation as pastor of the church in Jerusalem…   Pay attention to this passage because it will help you jumpstart your spiritual life.   # 1: Spiritual submission. Humility doesn’t come naturally to most of us. It’s the virtue which, if you think you have it, you probably don’t.    # 2: “Resist the devil, and he will flee from you” (v. 7b). This is both a command and a promise. The word “resist” is a military term. It means you stand and fight. You don’t run away. We are to flee temptation, but we are to fight the devil. That means taking up the armor of God and standing in the evil day (Ephesians 6:10-17).   # 3: “Draw near to God, and he will draw near to you” (v. 8a). The question is not, how near is God to us, but rather how near are we to him?   # 4: “Cleanse your hands, you sinners, and purify your hearts, you double-minded” (v. 8b). We must cleanse our hands because they are dirty with sin.  # 5: Take it Seriously # 6: Stay humble

"I think the trap we fall into is we try to pay God back, like 'I screwed up God, but I can make it right.'" How do you make it right with God? What can do you do to set things straight? When we mess up, it's instinctive to want to fix things. We made the mess, so we'll make it right again. That's what we do with our friends and family and coworkers. It's what we do with anyone any time we make a mistake. But God isn't anyone, and sin isn't just an accident.

ScriptureBulletin

Malachi 3:16-4:6 The Faithful Remnant16 Then those who feared the Lord talked with each other, and the Lord listened and heard. A scroll of remembrance was written in his presence concerning those who feared the Lord and honored his name.17 “On the day when I act,” says the Lord Almighty, “they will be my treasured possession. I will spare them, just as a father has compassion and spares his son who serves him. 18 And you will again see the distinction between the righteous and the wicked, between those who serve God and those who do not.Judgment and Covenant Renewal4 [a]“Surely the day is coming; it will burn like a furnace. All the arrogant and every evildoer will be stubble, and the day that is coming will set them on fire,” says the Lord Almighty. “Not a root or a branch will be left to them. 2 But for you who revere my name, the sun of righteousness will rise with healing in its rays. And you will go out and frolic like well-fed calves. 3 Then you will trample on the wicked; they will be ashes under the soles of your feet on the day when I act,” says the Lord Almighty.4 “Remember the law of my servant Moses, the decrees and laws I gave him at Horeb for all Israel.5 “See, I will send the prophet Elijah to you before that great and dreadful day of the Lord comes. 6 He will turn the hearts of the parents to their children, and the hearts of the children to their parents; or else I will come and strike the land with total destruction.”

September 8, 2019, | Pastor Nathan Elms One of the great ideas of the bible is Deliverance. In fact, Deliverance in many ways defines what it means to be a child of God. Deliverance is a necessary first step. We cannot understand God's doctrine, a theology of grace, or hope to come, without understanding divine deliverance. Jesus introduced his ministry by reading a particular passage from the book of Isaiah—a passage his listeners knew was referring to the Messiah, or the Savior of the world. The words had been written hundreds of years earlier and spoke of the new freedom that was coming in the future. When Jesus stood up to read, He was saying the future had arrived. Liberty would come through Him. Luke 4:17-21 New King James Version (NKJV) https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Luke+4%3A17-21&version=NKJV Notice this: 1. Preach (good news to the poor) 2. Healing (of the brokenhearted) 3. Deliverance ( to the captives) 4. Healing (recovery of sight to the blind) 5. Deliverance (liberty to the oppressed) 6. Preach (proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord) Preaching is mentioned twice. Healing is mentioned twice. And Deliverance is mentioned twice. It is impossible to understand the ministry of Jesus Christ without embracing the preaching of the gospel, the healing of the broken, and the deliverance of the captive. Jesus is our Good News. Jesus is our healer. Jesus is our rescuer. Psalm 91:1-4 (NKJV) https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=ps+91%3A1-4&version=NKJV Psalm 40:17 (NKJV) https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=ps+40%3A17&version=NKJV Exodus 6:6-7:6 https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Exodus+6%3A6-7%3A6&version=NKJV The Four Cups of Passover Every year the Jews celebrate their deliverance by remembering this promise. This promise is the center of their Passover. They have structured the Passover around this promise. The First Cup: Salvation- “I will take you out of Egypt.” Luke 19:10 “For the Son of Man came to seek and save those who are lost.” The Second Cup: Deliverance–“I will deliver you from (Egyptian) slavery.” God takes “Egypt out of them”—teaching them to think and live like free people instead of slaves ruled by a master. Jesus: Matthew 5:17 https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Matthew+5%3A17&version=NKJV The Third Cup: Redemption: “I will redeem you with My power.” John 1:12-13 https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=John+1%3A12-13+&version=NKJV The Fourth Cup: Adoption: “I will acquire you as My people and I will be your God.” The 4th cup is also called the Hallel Cup—the Cup of Highest Praise—a celebration cup, a time to rejoice cup, the Kingdom Party Cup. We must understand the journey of redemption: First, God gets us out of Egypt (spiritual bondage). Second, God gets Egypt (the desire for the sins of the flesh) out of us. This is transformation of heart – change of values – we pursue a different kingdom. We must find freedom! Understanding spiritual wilderness. • Isolation • Suffering • Fear • And the presence of God Remember the story of Israel’s Deliverance. God got them out of Egypt fairly quickly; but it took a whole generation to get Egypt out of them. Deliverance can happen in a moment; but Freedom takes some time. Let me say it this way: The problem isn’t your sin – it is your desire for sin. Freedom will require: 1. Healing. As long as your past has power over you, you remain a slave. 2. Change of focus. Does your mind focus on the past or the future? 3. Faith. God says you are able to possess your promise land. Ultimately, the price of freedom is that you must have faith and take action. God will deliver you from Egypt, but He will not claim your promise. Freedom has changed you. Now you have a work to accomplish.

Today, some believe that Jesus never proclaimed equality with God. The religious leaders who had Jesus crucified would say otherwise. In this session, Jesus goes to Jerusalem to attend the Feast of Dedication where he is accused of such a blasphemy.MP3 Download SESSION NOTES I. Jesus Attends The Feast Of Dedication In Jerusalem.A.

In this session, Jesus initiates a call to national repentance, warning Israel in a parable (of a fruitless fig tree) that they will be cut down and out if they don't repent of their disbelief. He then reminds them of the parables of the mustard seed and the leaven.MP3 Download SESSION NOTES I. Jesus' Call To National & Individual Repentance.A. Luke 13:1-5 II. The Parable Of The Fig Tree.A.

Prayer isn't an incantation which prompts God to move the way we want, but rather it's a live conversation of both speaking and listening to a God who desires to build a relationship with us. We examine how this works and how Satan attempts to stop it.MP3 Download SESSION NOTES I. Mary & Martha: The Importance Of Prayer.A. Luke 10:38-42B. Psalm 139:1-18C. Hebrews 4:13-16D.

If you know how to talk over a telephone, then you know how to pray to God. Unfortunately, Satan has done a great deal to confuse what prayer is all about, even among Christians. In this study, Jesus sets the record straight on prayer and what it's all about.MP3 Download SESSION NOTES I. Mary & Martha: The Importance Of Prayer.A. Luke 10:38-42 II.

The start of 2014 has been . . . interesting so far.  The new year started with some situations that needed to be resolved.  Two weeks in, I can say that clarity has been given for one issue and focus and direction is coming in another.  Doors are opening, (after all, we are in the Jewish year 5774, the year of open doors) and I'm excited to see what God has for me around the corner. But the very beginning of 2014 started out wonderfully.  It started with fellowship with wonderful friends and the first minutes of 2014 brought an answer to prayer, a really fast yes, and what I know is the beginning of a breakthrough. Blessings by Text The first day of 2014 started out with blessings by text from friends and family.  I've written them down in my prayer journal and have made them a part of my morning devotion for the year. From my mom: Numbers 6:24-26:  The Aaronic Blesssing May the Lord bless you and keep you, (Watch, guard, and keep) May the Lord make His face to shine upon you and be gracious to you (enlighten, kind, merciful and giving favor) May the Lord show you his favor and give you his peace. (tranquility of heart and life continually through the new year.) Jesus loves you and so do we. :) A pretty awesome welcome to bring in the new year. Positioned for Promise And from my friend Katherine: Are you positioned for promise? And I had to ask myself, "Am I?"  Am I in the exact place God wants me?  The place where his blessings for my life are waiting? At that particular moment, I wasn't sure.  That was actually a prayer that I had a few weeks before, that I and the people I was with would be in exactly the right position that God had for us and that we would know it. And so she gave me a verse Proverbs 3:6: Seek his will in all you do, and he will show you which path to take. ~ NLT The NIV translates "seek his will" as "Submit to him".  The NASB translates it as: In all your ways acknowledge Him, And He will make your paths straight. Part of the way to prepare yourself for seeking and walking in his will is given in Philippians 4:4-8 4 Always be full of joy in the Lord. I say it again—rejoice! 5 Let everyone see that you are considerate in all you do. Remember, the Lord is coming soon. If the primary fruits of the spirit are peace, joy and love, those should be evidenced in our lives.   Jesus said that he came so that his joy may remain in us and that our joy may be full. (John 15:11) If we are an anxious, stressed-out grumpy Gus,
