Work in Love “Choose a Job You Love, and You Will Never Have To Work a Day in Your Life.” “Find something you like to do so much that you would gladly do it for nothing; then learn to do it so well that people are happy to pay you for it.” –John C. Maxwell Ecclesiastes 5:18-20 After looking at the way things are on this earth, here's what I've decided is the best way to live: Take care of yourself, have a good time, and make the most of whatever job you have for as long as God gives you life. And that's about it. That's the human lot. Yes, we should make the most of what God gives, both the bounty and the capacity to enjoy it, accepting what's given and delighting in the work. It's God's gift! God deals out joy in the present, the now.It's useless to brood over how long we might live. “Delighting in the work.”The work is God given. But I hate my job… my boss… my coworkers… In order to succeed – find delight in YOUR work.   Consider Michaelanglo Grueling 4 years.Painted ceiling on his back.WHY do such hard work – Love.

No job is perfect… But find delight in work. -dislike 12 hour shifts, but LOVE what I do.-Coworkers are knuckleheads, but… -My pay is not what I want, but it supports my family I love.               

Evangelism & GenerosityActs 2:41Those who accepted his message were baptized, and about three thousand were added to their number that day.  Evangelism is proclaiming and living the good news of salvation found through Christ aloneActs 2:42They devoted themselves to the apostles' teaching and to fellowship, to the breaking of bread and to prayer. Proskartereō - being dedicated to some activity despite difficulty Ephesians 5:25Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her.The church is people Ekklesia - out-calling, a called-out congregationActs 2:43Everyone was filled with awe at the many wonders and signs performed by the apostles. 44 All the believers were together and had everything in common.   Acts 2:45They sold property and possessions to give to anyone who had need.  Generosity is living a life that matches the giving nature of God by outrageously and joyfully giving of our time our treasures and our talents to help bring heaven to earth Acts 2:46Every day they continued to meet together in the temple courts. They broke bread in their homes and ate together with glad and sincere hearts, 47 praising God and enjoying the favor of all the people. And the Lord added to their number daily those who were being saved.Evangelism and generosity go hand in handGenerosity is an attitude of love that flows from our hearts into the actions of our life. Mother Teresa“Let us not be satisfied with just giving money. Money is not enough, money can be got, but they need your hearts to love them. So, spread your love everywhere you go.”Without generosity the Gospel is grounded.The greatest enemy to Generosity in your life is fear.Generosity is living a life that matches the giving nature of GodJohn 3:16For God so loved the world, that He gave his only SonYou look like God when you are generous. Ephesians 5:1-2Imitate God, therefore, in everything you do, because you are his dear children. 2 Live a life filled with love, following the example of Christ. He loved us and offered himself as a sacrifice for us, a pleasing aroma to God.Matthew 10:7As you go, proclaim this message:‘The kingdom of heaven has come near.'  Heal the sick, raise the dead, cleanse those who have leprosy, drive out demons. Freely you have received; freely give. Proverbs 11:25Whoever brings blessing will be enriched, and one who waters will himself be watered.#1 Be Generous With Your Time Ephesians 5:15-16 Look therefore carefully how ye walk, not as unwise, but as wise; 16 redeeming the time, because the days are evil.#2 Be Generous With Encouragement Proverbs 18:21 The tongue has the power of life and death.“Power of the tongue” = under the direction, or control of. ENCOURAGE“to put courage in”… “to lift the spirit”Hebrews 3:13 But encourage one another daily, as long as it is called “Today,” so that none of you may be hardened by sin's deceitfulness.#3 Be Generous With HonorRomans 12:10 Be devoted to one another in love. Honor one another above yourselves. #4 Be Generous With Your ForgivenessEphesians 4:32 Be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving each other, just as in Christ God forgave you.The key to forgiveness is not forgive and forget it's forgive and remember. John 15:13Greater love has no one than this, that someone lay down his life for his friends.#5 Be Generous With Your AssistanceMartin Luther - “A religion that gives nothing, costs nothing, and suffers nothing, is worth nothing.”#6 Be Generous With Your Stories1 Peter 3:15 Always be prepared to give an answer to everyone who asks you to give the reason for the hope that you haveAnna Grace TaylorYour story could be the key that unlocks someone else's prison.

The Holy Spirit Comes at Pentecost 1When the day of Pentecost came, they were all together in one place. 2Suddenly a sound like the blowing of a violent wind came from heaven and filled the whole house where they were sitting. 3They saw what seemed to be tongues of fire that separated and came to rest on each of them. 4All of them were filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak in other tongues2:4 Or languages; also in verse 11 as the Spirit enabled them. 5Now there were staying in Jerusalem God-fearing Jews from every nation under heaven. 6When they heard this sound, a crowd came together in bewilderment, because each one heard their own language being spoken. 7Utterly amazed, they asked: “Aren’t all these who are speaking Galileans? 8Then how is it that each of us hears them in our native language? 9Parthians, Medes and Elamites; residents of Mesopotamia, Judea and Cappadocia, Pontus and Asia,2:9 That is, the Roman province by that name 10Phrygia and Pamphylia, Egypt and the parts of Libya near Cyrene; visitors from Rome 11(both Jews and converts to Judaism); Cretans and Arabs—we hear them declaring the wonders of God in our own tongues!” 12Amazed and perplexed, they asked one another, “What does this mean?” 13Some, however, made fun of them and said, “They have had too much wine.” Peter Addresses the Crowd 14Then Peter stood up with the Eleven, raised his voice and addressed the crowd: “Fellow Jews and all of you who live in Jerusalem, let me explain this to you; listen carefully to what I say. 15These people are not drunk, as you suppose. It’s only nine in the morning! 16No, this is what was spoken by the prophet Joel: 17“ ‘In the last days, God says, I will pour out my Spirit on all people. Your sons and daughters will prophesy, your young men will see visions, your old men will dream dreams. 18Even on my servants, both men and women, I will pour out my Spirit in those days, and they will prophesy. 19I will show wonders in the heavens above and signs on the earth below, blood and fire and billows of smoke. 20The sun will be turned to darkness and the moon to blood before the coming of the great and glorious day of the Lord. 21And everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.’2:21 Joel 2:28-32 22“Fellow Israelites, listen to this: Jesus of Nazareth was a man accredited by God to you by miracles, wonders and signs, which God did among you through him, as you yourselves know. 23This man was handed over to you by God’s deliberate plan and foreknowledge; and you, with the help of wicked men,2:23 Or of those not having the law (that is, Gentiles) put him to death by nailing him to the cross. 24But God raised him from the dead, freeing him from the agony of death, because it was impossible for death to keep its hold on him. 25David said about him: “ ‘I saw the Lord always before me. Because he is at my right hand, I will not be shaken. 26Therefore my heart is glad and my tongue rejoices; my body also will rest in hope, 27because you will not abandon me to the realm of the dead, you will not let your holy one see decay. 28You have made known to me the paths of life; you will fill me with joy in your presence.’2:28 Psalm 16:8-11 (see Septuagint) 29“Fellow Israelites, I can tell you confidently that the patriarch David died and was buried, and his tomb is here to this day. 30But he was a prophet and knew that God had promised him on oath that he would place one of his descendants on his throne. 31Seeing what was to come, he spoke of the resurrection of the Messiah, that he was not abandoned to the realm of the dead, nor did his body see decay. 32God has raised this Jesus to life, and we are all witnesses of it. 33Exalted to the right hand of God, he has received from the Father the promised Holy Spirit and has poured out what you now see and hear. 34For David did not ascend to heaven, and yet he said, “ ‘The Lord said to my Lord: “Sit at my right hand 35until I make your enemies a footstool for your feet.” ’2:35 Psalm 110:1 36“Therefore let all Israel be assured of this: God has made this Jesus, whom you crucified, both Lord and Messiah.” 37When the people heard this, they were cut to the heart and said to Peter and the other apostles, “Brothers, what shall we do?” 38Peter replied, “Repent and be baptized, every one of you, in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins. And you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. 39The promise is for you and your children and for all who are far off—for all whom the Lord our God will call.” 40With many other words he warned them; and he pleaded with them, “Save yourselves from this corrupt generation.” 41Those who accepted his message were baptized, and about three thousand were added to their number that day. The Fellowship of the Believers 42They devoted themselves to the apostles’ teaching and to fellowship, to the breaking of bread and to prayer. 43Everyone was filled with awe at the many wonders and signs performed by the apostles. 44All the believers were together and had everything in common. 45They sold property and possessions to give to anyone who had need. 46Every day they continued to meet together in the temple courts. They broke bread in their homes and ate together with glad and sincere hearts, 47praising God and enjoying the favor of all the people. And the Lord added to their number daily those who were being saved.  

12 represents unity that results from God being in control:We want to look at 2 groups where God uses the number 12 to communicate His plan for unity and His leadership along the path to perfect (or complete) unity:12 Sons12 ApostlesI believe that if we take a look at the way these are presented and represented in scripture we can begin to see what happens when we follow His path and also when we leave the path.I believe that these lead us and teach us concerning our:Families [sons]Church [Apostles]Our families are to exist in unity – that means our desire should be to love and support each other – the Biblical instruction to “bear one another’s burdens and thus fulfill the law of Christ” (Gal.6:2) should be practiced in our earthly families in order for us to be able to make it possible in our spiritual families.We see an example of the struggles that can develop in the lives of those around us when we don’t follow God’s path in our families in the dynamics of the 12 Sons of Israel.What happens when the path is ignored:Gen 42:32, “We were twelve brothers, sons of one father. One is no more, and the youngest is now with our father in Canaan.”What’s going on here?What happens when the path is not followed:A Father’s heart is brokenA Father choosing one son over othersJealousyGreedA brother betrayedLiesDistrust among brothersDisunityWhat happens when the path is followed:Gen. 45:4-7, Then Joseph said to his brothers, “Come close to me.” When they had done so, he said, “I am your brother Joseph, the one you sold into Egypt! 5And now, do not be distressed and do not be angry with yourselves for selling me here, because it was to save lives that God sent me ahead of you. 6For two years now there has been famine in the land, and for the next five years there will be no plowing and reaping. 7But God sent me ahead of you to preserve for you a remnant on earth and to save your lives by a great deliverance.”ForgivenessRestorationRedemptionUnityThe 12 Apostles represent the completeness of God’s plan for the Church.The Church was created to exist in unity: One of the main things that Jesus prayed about was our unity – John 17:11, “I will remain in the world no longer, but they are still in the world, and I am coming to You. Holy Father, protect them by the power of Your name, the name you gave Me, so that they may be one as We are One.”The 12 were to be a model for unity and a foundation for the Church’s unity.What happens when that path is ignored:Mark 10:35-37, Then James and John, the sons of Zebedee, came to Him. “Teacher,” they said, “we want You to do for us whatever we ask.”“What do you want Me to do for you?” He asked. They replied, “Let one of us sit at Your right and the other at Your left in Your glory.”This is not the path that God intends for His Church.What this leads to:JealousyDistrustPower struggleSelfishnessDisunityHowever when the path is followed:Acts 2:42-47, They devoted themselves to the apostles’ teaching and to fellowship, to the breaking of bread and to prayer. 43Everyone was filled with awe at the many wonders and signs performed by the apostles. 44All the believers were together and had everything in common. 45They sold property and possessions to give to anyone who had need. 46Every day they continued to meet together in the temple courts.
