2 Corinthians 11:1-15 (NLT) 1I hope you will put up with a little more of my foolishness. Please bear with me. 2For I am jealous for you with the jealousy of God himself. I promised you as a pure bride to one husband—Christ. 3But I fear that somehow your pure and undivided devotion to Christ will be corrupted, just as Eve was deceived by the cunning ways of the serpent. 4You happily put up with whatever anyone tells you, even if they preach a different Jesus than the one we preach, or a different kind of spirit than the one you received, or a different kind of gospel than the one you believed. 5But I don't consider myself inferior in any way to these “super apostles” who teach such things. 6I may be unskilled as a speaker, but I'm not lacking in knowledge. We have made this clear to you in every possible way. 7Was I wrong when I humbled myself and honored you by preaching God's Good News to you without expecting anything in return? 8I “robbed” other churches by accepting their contributions so I could serve you at no cost. 9And when I was with you and didn't have enough to live on, I did not become a financial burden to anyone. For the brothers who came from Macedonia brought me all that I needed. I have never been a burden to you, and I never will be. 10As surely as the truth of Christ is in me, no one in all of Greece will ever stop me from boasting about this. 11Why? Because I don't love you? God knows that I do. 12But I will continue doing what I have always done. This will undercut those who are looking for an opportunity to boast that their work is just like ours. 13These people are false apostles. They are deceitful workers who disguise themselves as apostles of Christ. 14But I am not surprised! Even Satan disguises himself as an angel of light. 15So it is no wonder that his servants also disguise themselves as servants of righteousness. In the end they will get the punishment their wicked deeds deserve.Three Key Truths in Avoiding False Teachers1. The purity of the message matters2. The purity of the church matters3.

This week's episode is a LITTLE bit different from my previous episodes of my podcast. Since Episode one of my show, EVERY single song I have covered has been a tune from the 60's, but as most of you should know by now, I write my own music and ALL of my music is influenced by stuff from the 60's, and since I"m noticing a lot of my podcast listeners aren't listening to my own music, I figured you guys should ABSOLUTELY check out my stuff, and what better way to do that then to cover one of my songs for my podcast, so this is going to be REALLY cool because you guys are going to get my perspective on my songwriting process and my influences as a musician and producer, so since I"m not doing a 60's song this week, I'm going to be brief about the history behind this song and instead, I"m going to tell the story of what inspired me to write this song and how I constructed it structurally and what were my specific influences as far as production and arrangements for this song when I was recording it. here's the link to this week's song just in case you guys wanted to listen to it:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XMa6217J4k8&list=OLAK5uy_k0YYDbR5EmoY4EpzXve0SUgpGqAiqUBGI&index=4You can also follow me on Instagram for updates on my music & other stuff right here:https://www.instagram.com/iheartoldies/Here's where you can check out more of my original music:https://www.samwilliamsmusic.netPLEASE do check out my EP that came out on Memorial Day Weekend where you can find more of my original music, and here is where you'll be able to listen to the full length song that I wrote that I covered this week, plus some other REALLY good ones that I'll cover in future episodes of this podcast, please do let me know whatcha think of these songs and you can email me at samltwilli@icloud.com, you can also reach out to me on Instagram @iheartoldies:https://distrokid.com/hyperfollow/samlwilliams/turquoise-apricotwould love it if you could also check out my most recent features in ShoutoutLA magazine and Honk Magazine, here you'll be able to read more about me as a songwriter and musician and hear more about me in general, after reading these and if you found out some REALLY cool stuff about me and would like to meet me in person and your based in LA (And if your a real person, of course) please email me at samltwilli@icloud.com or you can also reach out to me on Instagram @iheartoldies:https://honkmagazine.com/sam-l-williams-talks-about-his-career-path-influence-and-new-music/https://shoutoutla.com/meet-sam-l-williams-musician-songwriter-podcast-host/Please do also check out the official Spotify and Youtube playlists for this podcast, here you'll be able to find all of the songs that I have talked about on my podcast including some of the ones that I have mentioned in interview episodes of this show, if you listened to these playlists and it gives you some ideas for the kind of songs I should talk about next on my podcast (or you listened to my music and want to suggest another song of mine I should next on my show), please email me at samltwilli@icloud.com, you can also reach out to me on Instagram @iheartoldies:https://open.spotify.com/playlist/21f3uBS6kU4hUF6QAC5JMj?si=7e2c1c10c39544d1https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CS1sYR7xky8&list=PL66sgq_GAmRcXy8yKZJfVmAD14HUYj7NfI would also LOVE IT if you could check out the official Redbubble Merch store for this podcast, there you'll be able to find these super cool merch items for this podcast with a logo that is specific to this podcast, and if you would like to give me feedback on the logo for this podcast, or the prices of each item in this store, you can email me at samltwilli@icloud.com, or you can also reach out to me on Instagram @iheartoldies:https://www.redbubble.com/people/60ssam95/works/36806158-keep-things-groovy?asc=u&ref=recent-ownerIf you enjoyed my analysis on one of my songs and you fell in love with this song of mine, and you have never heard it before, and if you loved hearing about my songwriting process and you like this song and the genre it's and your around my age, and you would like to hear me do the same thing again with another one of my songs for a future episode of this podcast, please email me at samltwilli@icloud.com, you can also reach out to me on Instagram @iheartoldies.
XIII. The Real Meaning of the Last JudgmentWe have said that whatever you make or create is real in your own eyes, but not necessarily in the sight of God.166 2This basic distinction leads us directly into the real meaning of the Last Judgment.2 The Final Judgment is one of the greatest threat concepts in humanity’s perception. 2This is only because you do not understand it. 3Judgment is not an essential attribute of God. 4You brought judgment into being only because of the separation. 5God Himself is still the God of mercy. 6After the separation, however, there was a place for justice in the schema, because it was one of the many learning devices which had to be built into the overall plan.3 Just as the separation occurred over many millions of years, the Last Judgment will extend over a similarly long period, and perhaps even longer. 2Its length depends, however, on the effectiveness of the present speed-up.167 3We have frequently noted that the miracle is a device for shortening but not abolishing time.168 4If a sufficient number of people become truly miracle-minded quickly, the shortening process can be almost immeasurable. 5But it is essential that these individuals free themselves from fear sooner than would ordinarily be the case, because they must emerge from the basic conflict if they are to bring peace to the minds of others.4 The Last Judgment is generally thought of as a procedure undertaken by God. 2Actually, it will be undertaken solely by the Sonship with my help. 3It is a final healing rather than a meting out of punishment, however much you may think punishment is deserved. 4Punishment as a concept is in total opposition to right-mindedness. 5The aim of the Final Judgment is to restore right-mindedness to you.5 The Final Judgment might be called a process of right evaluation. 2It simply means that finally all minds must come to understand what is worthy and what is not. 3After this, their ability to choose can be reasonably directed. 4Unless this distinction has been made, the vacillations between free and imprisoned will cannot but continue.6 The first step toward freedom, then, must entail a sorting out of the false from the true. 2This is a process of division only in the constructive sense, and reflects the true meaning of the Apocalypse.169 3Everyone will ultimately look upon what he has made and will to preserve only what is good, just as God Himself once looked upon what He had created and knew that it was good.170 4At this point, the mind will begin to look with love on what it has made, because of its great worthiness. 5The mind will inevitably disown its miscreations, and having withdrawn belief from them, they will no longer exist.7 The term “Last Judgment” is frightening, not only because it has been falsely projected onto God, but also because of the association of “Last” with death. 2This is an outstanding example of upside-down perception. 3Actually, if the Last Judgment is examined objectively, it is quite apparent that it is really the doorway to life. 4No one who lives in fear is really alive.8 Your own final judgment cannot be directed toward yourself, because you are not your own creation. 2You can apply it meaningfully and at any time, however, to everything you have ever made, and retain in your real memory only what is good. 3This is what your own right-mindedness cannot but dictate. 4The purpose of time is solely to “give you time” to achieve this judgment. 5It is your own perfect judgment of what you have made. 6When everything that you retain is lovable, there is no reason for any fear to remain in you. 7This is your part in the Atonement.
XII. The Mastery of LoveWe have already said that the basic conflict is one between love and fear, and that the proper organization of the psyche rests on a lack of level confusion.154 2The section on psychic energy should be reread very carefully, because it is particularly likely to be misinterpreted until this section has been completed.1552 It has already been said that you cannot control fear, because you yourself made it.156 2Your belief in it renders it out of your control by definition. 3For this reason, any attempt to resolve the basic conflict through the concept of mastery of fear is meaningless. 4In fact, it asserts the power of fear by the simple assumption that it need be mastered at all. 5The essential resolution rests entirely on the mastery of love.1573 In the interim, conflict is inevitable. 2The reason for this is the strangely illogical position in which you have placed yourself. 3Since we have frequently emphasized that correction must be applied within the level that error occurs, it should be clear that the miracle must be illogical because its purpose is to correct the illogical and restore order.1584 Two concepts which cannot coexist are nothing and everything. 2To whatever extent one is believed in, the other has been abolished. 3In the conflict, fear is really nothing, and love is really everything. 4The unwillingness to let one’s darkness be seen, or to submit error to light, is a way of denying that the separation ever occurred. 5Like all pseudo-solutions, this kind of distorted thinking is very creative but false.5 The separation has occurred.159 2To deny this is merely to misuse denial. 3However, to concentrate on error is merely a further misuse of legitimate psychic mechanisms. 4The true corrective procedure, which has already been described as the proper use of the spiritual eye (or true vision), is to accept the error temporarily, but only as an indication that immediate correction is mandatory.160 5This establishes a state of mind in which the Atonement can be accepted without delay.6 It is worth repeating that ultimately there is no compromise possible between everything and nothing. 2The purpose of time is essentially to serve as a device by which all compromise in this respect can be abolished. 3It seems to be abolished by degrees precisely because time itself involves a concept of intervals which does not really exist. 4The faulty use of creation has made this necessary as a corrective device. 5“And God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son so that whosoever believeth on Him shall not perish but have eternal life” needs only one slight correction to be entirely meaningful in this context. 6It should read, “And God so loved the world that He gave it to His only begotten Son.”1617 It should be noted that God has begotten only one Son. 2If you believe that all of the minds that God created are His Sons, and if you also believe that the Sonship is one, then every mind must be a Son of God, or an integral part of the Sonship. 3You do not find the concept that the whole is greater than its parts difficult to understand. 4You should therefore not have too great of a difficulty with this. 5The Sonship in its oneness does transcend the sum of its parts. 6However, it loses this special state as long as any of its parts are missing. 7This is why the conflict cannot ultimately be resolved until all of the individual parts of the Sonship have returned. 8Only then can the meaning of wholeness in the true sense be understood.8 The concept of minus numbers has always been regarded as a mathematical rather than an actual expedient. 2Yet it represents a major limitation on mathematics as presently understood.162 3Any statement which implies degrees of difference in negation is essentially meaningless. 4What can replace this negative approach is a recognition of the fact that as long as one part (which is the same as a million or ten or eight thousand parts) of the Sonship is missing, it is not complete.163 5In the divine psyche, the Father and the Holy Spirit are not incomplete at all. 6The Sonship has the unique faculty of believing in error, or incompleteness, if it so elects. 7However, it is quite apparent that so to elect is to believe in the existence of nothingness. 8The correction of this error is the Atonement.9 We have already briefly spoken about readiness.164 2But there are some additional awarenesses which might be helpful. 3Readiness is nothing more than the prerequisite for accomplishment. 4The two should not be confused. 5As soon as a state of readiness occurs, there is always some will to accomplish, but this is by no means undivided. 6The state does not imply more than the potential for a shift of will. 7Confidence cannot develop fully until mastery has been accomplished.10 We began this section with an attempt to correct the fundamental human error that fear can be mastered. 2The correction was that only love can be mastered. 3Even if you are ready for revelation, though, that does not mean that you have in any way mastered that form of communication. 4Mastery of love necessarily involves a much more complete confidence in the ability than you have as yet attained. 5Readiness, however, is at least an indication that you believe this is possible. 6This is only the beginning of confidence. 7In case this be misunderstood as a statement that an enormous amount of time will be necessary between readiness and mastery, I would again remind you that time and space are under my control.165
X. The Real Power of the MindEveryone experiences fear, and nobody enjoys it. 2Yet it would take very little right thinking to know why it occurs. 3Very few people appreciate the real power of the mind, and nobody remains fully aware of it all the time. 4This is inevitable in this world, because the human being has many things he must do and cannot engage in constant thought-watching. 5However, if he hopes to spare himself from fear, there are some things he must realize, and realize fully, at least some of the time.2 The mind is a very powerful agent, and it never loses its creative force. 2It never sleeps. 3Every instant it is making or creating, and always as you will. 4Many of your ordinary expressions reflect this. 5For example, when you say, “Don’t give it a thought,” you are implying that if you do not think about something, it will have no effect on you. 6This is true enough.3 On the other hand, many other expressions are clear expressions of the prevailing lack of awareness of thought power. 2For example, you say, “just an idle thought,” and mean that the thought has no effect. 3You also speak of some actions as “thoughtless,” implying that if the person had thought, he would not have behaved as he did. 4You also use phrases like “thought provoking,” which is bland enough, but the term “a provoking thought” means something quite different.4 While expressions like “think big” give some recognition to the power of thought, they still come nowhere near the truth. 2You do not expect to grow when you say it, because you really don’t believe it. 3It is hard to recognize that thought and belief combine into a power surge which can literally move mountains.117 4It appears at first glance that to believe such power about yourself is merely arrogant. 5But that is not the real reason why you don’t believe it. 6People prefer to believe that their thoughts cannot exert real control because they are literally afraid of them.5 Therapists try to help people who are afraid of their own death wishes by depreciating the power of the wish. 2They even attempt to “free” the patient by persuading him that he can think whatever he wants without any real effect at all. 3There is a real dilemma here, which only the truly right-minded can escape. 4Death wishes do not kill in the physical sense, but they do kill spiritually.118 5All destructive thinking is dangerous. 6Given a death wish, a person has no choice except to act upon his thought or behave contrary to it. 7He can thus choose only between homicide and fear (see previous notes on will conflicts).1196 The other possibility is that he depreciates the power of his thought. 2This is the usual psychoanalytic approach.120 3This does allay guilt, but at the cost of rendering thinking impotent. 4If you believe that what you think is ineffectual, you may cease to be overly afraid of it, but you are hardly likely to respect it either. 5The world is full of endless examples of how people have depreciated themselves because they are afraid of their own thoughts. 6In some forms of insanity, thoughts are glorified, but this is only because the underlying depreciation was too effective for tolerance.1217 The truth is that there are no “idle thoughts.” 2All thinking produces form at some level. 3The reason why people are afraid of ESP, and so often react against it, is because they know that thoughts can hurt them. 4Their own thoughts have made them vulnerable.1228 You who complain about fear still persist in producing it most of the time. 2I told you in the last section that you cannot ask me to release you from it, because I know it does not exist.123 3You don’t. 4If I merely intervened between your thoughts and their results, I would be tampering with a basic law of cause and effect, in fact the most fundamental one there is in this world. 5I would hardly help you if I depreciated the power of your own thinking. 6This would be in direct opposition to the purpose of this course.9 It is certainly much more useful for me to remind you that you do not guard your thoughts at all carefully, except for a relatively small part of the day, and somewhat inconsistently even then. 2You may feel at this point that it would take a miracle to enable you to do this, which is perfectly true. 3Human beings are not used to miraculous thinking, but they can be trained to think that way.10 All miracle workers have to be trained that way. 2I have to be able to count on them. 3This means that I cannot allow them to leave their minds unguarded, or they will not be able to help me. 4Miracle working entails a full realization of the power of thought and real avoidance of miscreation. 5Otherwise, the miracle would be necessary merely to set the mind itself straight, a circular process which would hardly foster the time-collapse for which the miracle was intended. 6Nor would it induce the healthy respect which every miracle worker must have for true cause and effect.12411 Miracles cannot free the miracle worker from fear.125 2Both miracles and fear come from his thoughts, and if he were not free to choose one, he would also not be free to choose the other. 3Remember, we said before that when electing one person, you reject another.126 4It is much the same in electing the miracle. 5By so doing, you have rejected fear. 6Fear cannot assail unless it has been elected.12 You have been afraid of God, of me, of yourself, and of practically everyone you know at one time or another. 2This can only be because you have miscreated all of us and believe in what you made. 3You would never have done this, if you had not been afraid of your own thoughts.127 4The vulnerable are essentially miscreators, because they misperceive creation.

What is often missing from our understanding of the 10 commandments? Exodus 20:1-17 (EHV) Then God spoke all these words: 2I am the Lord your God, who brought you out from the land of Egypt, where you were slaves. 3You shall have no other gods beside me. 4You shall not make any carved image for yourself or a likeness of anything in heaven above, or on the earth below, or in the waters under the earth. 5Do not bow down to them or be subservient to them, for I the Lord your God am a jealous God. I follow up on the guilt of the fathers with their children, their grandchildren, and their great-grandchildren, if they also hate me. 6But I show mercy to thousands who love me and keep my commandments. 7You shall not misuse the name of the Lord your God, for the Lord will not permit anyone who misuses his name to escape unpunished. 8Remember the Sabbath day by setting it apart as holy. 9Six days you are to serve and do all your regular work, 10but the seventh day shall be a sabbath rest to the Lord your God. Do not do any regular work, neither you, nor your sons or daughters, nor your male or female servants, nor your cattle, nor the alien who is residing inside your gates, 11for in six days the Lord made the heavens and the earth, the sea, and everything that is in them, but he rested on the seventh day. In this way the Lord blessed the seventh day and made it holy. 12Honor your father and your mother so that you may spend many days on the land that the Lord your God is giving to you. 13You shall not commit murder. 14You shall not commit adultery. 15You shall not steal. 16You shall not give false testimony against your neighbor. 17You shall not covet your neighbor’s house. You shall not covet your neighbor’s wife, his male servant, his female servant, his ox, his donkey, or anything else that belongs to your neighbor. If you have any questions or comments, contact Pastor.

IX. The Correction of FearYou believe that being afraid is involuntary. 2But I have told you many times that only constructive acts should be involuntary.105 3I said that Christ-control can take over everything that doesn’t matter, and Christ-guidance can direct everything that does, if you so will.1062 Fear cannot be Christ-controlled, but it can be self-controlled. 2Fear is always associated with what does not matter, and prevents me from controlling it. 3The correction is therefore a matter of your will, because its presence shows that you have raised the unimportant to a higher level than it warrants. 4You have thus brought it under your will, where it does not belong. 5This means you feel responsible for it. 6The level confusion here is perfectly obvious. 7The reason that I cannot control fear for you is that you are attempting to raise to the mind level the proper content of lower-order “reality.”107 8I do not foster level confusion, but you can will to correct it.3 You would not tolerate insane behavior on your part, and would hardly advance the excuse that you could not help it. 2Why should you tolerate insane thinking? 3There is a fallacy here you would do well to look at clearly. 4You believe that you are responsible for what you do but not for what you think. 5The truth is that you are responsible for what you think, because it is only at this level that you can exercise choice. 6What you do comes from what you think. 7You cannot separate the two by giving autonomy to your behavior. 8Behavior is controlled by me automatically as soon as you place what you think under my guidance.4 Whenever you are afraid, it is a sure sign that you have allowed your mind to miscreate; that is, you have not allowed me to guide it. 2It is pointless to believe that controlling the outcome of misthought can result in real healing. 3When you are fearful, you have willed wrongly. 4This is why you feel you are responsible for it. 5You must change your mind, not your behavior, and this is a matter of will. 6You do not need guidance except at the mind level. 7Correction belongs only at the level where causation is possible. 8The term does not really mean anything at the symptom level, where it cannot work.5 The correction of fear is your responsibility. 2When you ask for release from fear, you are implying that it isn’t. 3You should ask, instead, for help in the conditions which have brought the fear about. 4This always entails a willingness on the part of your separated mind. 5At this level, you can help it. 6You are much too tolerant of mind wandering, thus tacitly condoning your mind’s miscreations. 7The particular result never matters, but this fundamental error does. 8The fundamental correction is always the same. 9Before you will to do anything, ask me if your will is in accord with mine. 10If you are sure that it is, there will be no fear.6 Fear is always a sign of strain, which arises whenever the will to do conflicts with what you do. 2This situation arises in two major ways:1. 3You can will to do conflicting things, either simultaneously or successively.108 4This produces conflicting behavior, which would be tolerable to the self (though not necessarily to others) except for the fact that the part of the will that wants something else is outraged.2. 5You can behave as you think you should, without entirely willing to do so. 6This produces consistent behavior, but entails great strain within the self.7 If you think about it, you will realize that in both cases the will and the behavior are out of accord, resulting in a situation in which you are doing what you do not will. 2This arouses a sense of coercion, which usually produces rage. 3The anger then invades the mind, and projection in the wrong sense becomes likely.109 4Depression or anxiety is virtually certain.8 Remember that whenever there is fear, it is because you have not made up your mind. 2Your will is split, and your behavior inevitably becomes erratic. 3Correcting at the behavioral level can shift the error from the first type to the second, but will not obliterate the fear. 4It is possible to reach a state in which you bring your will under my guidance without much conscious effort, but this implies the kind of habit pattern which you have not developed dependably as yet.9 Although people say that God will never ask you to do more than you can, they do not understand it themselves. 2God cannot ask more than you will. 3The strength to do comes from your own undivided will to do.110 4There is no strain in doing God’s will as soon as it is also your own.10 The lesson here is quite simple, but particularly apt to be overlooked. 2I will therefore repeat it, urging you to listen. 3Only your mind can produce fear. 4It does so whenever it is conflicted in what it wills, thus producing inevitable strain because willing and doing become discordant.111 5This cannot be corrected by better doing. 6But it can be corrected by higher willing.11 The first corrective step is knowing it is fear. 2After taking this step, you might benefit temporarily by adding another step before going on with the corrective process: Try saying to yourself that you must have willed not to love somehow or somewhere, or the fear which arises from behavior-will conflict could not have happened. 3Then follow the previous instructions.11212 If you consider what the process really means, it is nothing more than a series of pragmatic steps in the larger process of accepting the Atonement as the remedy. 2From this viewpoint, the steps can be reworded as follows:1. 3Know first this is fear.2. 4Fear arises from lack of love.3. 5The only remedy for lack of love is perfect love.4. 6Perfect love is the Atonement.7The final procedural step is inherent in the last statement.113 8We have emphasized that the miracle, or the expression of Atonement, is always a sign of real respect from the worthy to the worthy.114 9This worth is reestablished by the Atonement.13 It is obvious, then, that when you are afraid, you have placed yourself in a position where you need Atonement because you have done something loveless, having willed without love. 2This is precisely the situation for which the Atonement was offered. 3The need for the remedy inspired its establishment. 4As long as you recognize only the need for the remedy, you will remain fearful. 5However, as soon as you use the remedy, you have also abolished the fear. 6This is how true healing occurs.14 It may help if you say this prayer to me:2I would like to pray that my will be united with thine, recognizing that thy perfect love will suffice (or correct) for my imperfect love.3I pray that I may accept the Atonement with conviction, recognizing its inestimable worth, and my own divine worth as part of this identification with thine.4I pray that my fear be replaced by an active sense of thy love, and thy continual willingness to help me overcome the split or divided will which is responsible for my difficulty with this.5I accept the divinity of the messages I have received,115 and affirm my will in both accepting and acting upon the Atonement principle.6Here I am.15 The major problem that you have is the continuing split will, which naturally interferes with your true identification. 2To the extent that you hold onto this split, it will take longer to get through and will markedly interfere with your own integration efforts. 3Reliance has to be placed on me, which is sufficient once you do this without distantiation or division in loyalties. 4This will be strengthened through a continual affirmation of the goal you want to achieve and an awareness of its inevitability. 5In this way, you will perceive and know your true worth, and the importance of maintaining a complete identification.
Jesus Is The Only Way. Believe, Trust, Obey, Submit! John 14:1-7 1“Do not let your hearts be troubled. You believe in God a ; believe also in me. 2My Father’s house has many rooms; if that were not so, would I have told you that I am going there to prepare a place for you? 3And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come back and take you to be with me that you also may be where I am. 4You know the way to the place where I am going.” Jesus the Way to the Father 5Thomas said to him, “Lord, we don’t know where you are going, so how can we know the way?” 6Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me. 7If you really know me, you will know b my Father as well. From now on, you do know him and have seen him.”

Renewal – Life Lessons From Nehemiah, #7 Covenant– Neh. 9-10 By Louie Marsh, 10-25-2020 5 Pics as Intro. When the wall was finished Israel renewed their COVENANT WITH GOD. “32“Now, therefore, our God, the great, the mighty, and the awesome God, who keeps covenant and steadfast love, let not all the hardship seem little to you that has come upon us, upon our kings, our princes, our priests, our prophets, our fathers, and all your people, since the time of the kings of Assyria until this day…38 “Because of all this we make a firm covenant in writing; on the sealed document are the names of our princes, our Levites, and our priests.” (Nehemiah 9:32, 38, ESV) WHAT IS A COVENANT? COVENANT (Heb. berît, “cutting”). The term applied to various transactions between God and man, and man and his fellowman. In Obadiah it is rendered “allied.” In the NT the word diatheke, “disposition” or “will” respecting a person or thing, is used; sometimes it is translated “Testament”, at other times “covenant.” Application of the Term. Properly used of a compact between man and man; either between tribes or nations or between individuals in which each party bound himself to fulfill certain conditions and was promised certain advantages. - The New Unger's Bible Dictionary. In The New Covenant God Has Promised… 1) A new HEART AND SOUL – Regeneration. This would involve the giving of a new heart (a new inner control center where the issues and direction of life are determined) and the new nature (a new favorable disposition toward God consisting of the law of God in the heart). “33For this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, declares the Lord: I will put my law within them, and I will write it on their hearts. And I will be their God, and they shall be my people.” (Jeremiah 31:33, ESV) “26And I will give you a new heart, and a new spirit I will put within you. And I will remove the heart of stone from your flesh and give you a heart of flesh.” (Ezekiel 36:26, ESV) 2) FORGIVENESS of sin. “34And no longer shall each one teach his neighbor and each his brother, saying, ‘Know the Lord,’ for they shall all know me, from the least of them to the greatest, declares the Lord. For I will forgive their iniquity, and I will remember their sin no more.”” (Jeremiah 31:34, ESV) “25I will sprinkle clean water on you, and you shall be clean from all your uncleannesses, and from all your idols I will cleanse you.” (Ezekiel 36:25, ESV) 3) The indwelling of the HOLY SPIRIT. “27And I will put my Spirit within you, and cause you to walk in my statutes and be careful to obey my rules.” (Ezekiel 36:27, ESV) 4) The Spirit POWER. “13May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, so that by the power of the Holy Spirit you may abound in hope.” (Romans 15:13, ESV) 5) Jesus will never LEAVE ME. “19Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, 20teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you. And behold, I am with you always, to the end of the age.”” (Matthew 28:19–20, ESV) 6) Freedom From THE LAW “1For freedom Christ has set us free; stand firm therefore, and do not submit again to a yoke of slavery. 2Look: I, Paul, say to you that if you accept circumcision, Christ will be of no advantage to you…4You are severed from Christ, you who would be justified by the law; you have fallen away from grace. 5For through the Spirit, by faith, we ourselves eagerly wait for the hope of righteousness. 6For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision nor uncircumcision counts for anything, but only faith working through love.” (Galatians 5:1-2, 4–6, ESV) 7) Every SPIRITUAL BLESSING in Christ! Praise the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! Through Christ, God has blessed us with every spiritual blessing that heaven has to offer. Ephesians 1:3 (GW) HOW CAN I ENTER THIS COVENANT? B = Believe Jesus died on the Cross for me and showed He was God by coming back to life again. By this gospel you are saved, if you hold firmly to the word I preached to you. Otherwise, you have believed in vain. For what I received I passed on to you as of first importance: that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, that he was buried, that he was raised on the third day according to the Scriptures, (1 Cor. 15:2-4) A = Accept Christ as Lord of My life and His free forgiveness of my sins. Yet to all who received him, to those who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God-- (John 1:12) In him we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, in accordance with the riches of God’s grace (Eph. 1:7) S = Switch to God’s Plan for my life. "The time has come," he said. "The kingdom of God is near. Repent and believe the good news!" (Mark 1:15) I = Inform others of your decision. That if you confess with your mouth, "Jesus is Lord," and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. (Romans 10:9) S = Submerge yourself in Christ. You are all sons of God through faith in Christ Jesus, for all of you who were baptized into Christ have clothed yourselves with Christ. (Galatians 3:26-27)
John 14:1-4You can trust God in uncertain times (John 14:1) Affidavits Of The Afterlife 1) There Is A Place Prepared For You In Heaven(John 14: 2)2) There Is Something Deeply Personal About Heaven(John 14:3)3) There Is One Pathway Into Heaven (John 14:4-6)4) There Is Still Work For Us To Do (John 14:12)
Bewusst-Sein als Leader Unser Verhalten wird oft unbewusst gesteuert - auch als Leader. Für Veränderung und Entwicklung brauchen wir das Bewusstsein über den Zustand heute und den erwünschten Zustand. Auch im Leadership und im Business. Bewusst-Sein als Leader können wir in drei Bereiche aufteilen: für Leadership an sich - welche Bedeutung hat es für dich, welche Wichtigkeit, wie nutzt du es für dich - Selbst-bewusst-sein - dein Plan, deine Entwicklung, dein Leben für andere - deine Umgebung - wie wirkst du, wie wirst du wahrgenommen, welche Bedürfnisse haben die anderen. Was fällt dir leicht? Worüber kannst du nicht viel sagen? Deine Gedanken, Glaubenssätze und Wahrnehmung kreieren die Welt um dich herum. Wie bewusst bist du dir darüber? Wie bewusst nimmst du Einfluss? Deine Fragen, Kommentare und Wünsche sind sehr willkommen auf Instagram oder Facebook . Sei ein Fan deines Teams. Sei ein Fan deines Umfeldes. Liebe Grüße, Tina P.S.

Trennung - Anfang - Gelegenheit Bist du als Leader überrascht, wenn ein Team-Mitglied dein Team verlässt? Oder bist du vorbereitet, informiert, bewusst? In dieser Folge teile ich meine aktuellen Gedanken und Erfahrungen, es ist eine sehr persönliche Folge. Meine Learnings: transparente Kommunikation, mit den besten Intentionen (um bewusst im „richtigen“ Umfeld zu sein) Veränderung ist eine Chance (für alle), mit Neugierde Perspektiven wechseln mir alls Leader immer wieder Feedback einholen mit dem Team öfters über gemeinsame Erlebnisse sprechen, Bilder anschauen - sich auf der persönlichen Ebene verbinden Umfeld bewusst hinterfragen. Alles ist ein Anfang. Jeder Tag, jede Idee, jede Veränderung. Was kannst du bewusst daraus machen? Welche Veränderungen stehen in deinem Leben an? Wie bewusst bist du dir darüber? Wie bewusst nimmst du Einfluss?
1 Peter 3:1-7 NLT1In the same way, you wives must accept the authority of your husbands. Then, even if some refuse to obey the Good News, your godly lives will speak to them without any words. They will be won over 2by observing your pure and reverent lives. 3Don’t be concerned about the outward beauty of fancy hairstyles, expensive jewelry, or beautiful clothes. 4You should clothe yourselves instead with the beauty that comes from within, the unfading beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is so precious to God. 5This is how the holy women of old made themselves beautiful. They put their trust in God and accepted the authority of their husbands. 6For instance, Sarah obeyed her husband, Abraham, and called him her master. You are her daughters when you do what is right without fear of what your husbands might do. 7In the same way, you husbands must give honor to your wives. Treat your wife with understanding as you live together. She may be weaker than you are, but she is your equal partner in God’s gift of new life. Treat her as you should so your prayers will not be hindered.Support the show (https://www.patreon.com/yourdailybible)
Leadership fängt immer bei dir an. Egal ob du mit deinem Hund spazieren gehst, dein Kind erziehst, mit den Freunden unterwegs bist oder dein Team führst. Du bist immer wieder ein Vorbild, du beeinflusst die Menschen in deinem Umfeld. Und du führst dich selbst - du bist die Ursache. Dein Ziel immer wieder vor Augen zu haben hilft dir dranzubleiben. Wenn die Ergebnisse nicht die sind, die du haben möchtest, solltest du etwas ändern - anpassen. Ein Journal unterstützt dich beim planen, Ergebnisse verfolgen und anpassen.

Um dein Ziel und deine Vision so effizient wie möglich zu erreichen, berücksichtige folgende Punkte: erarbeite einen PLAN und eine STRUKTUR (was wird wann, wie, von wem gemacht) RESPEKTIERE deine ZEIT und STANDARDS (setze das geplante um, so wie es für dich wichtig ist) mache bewusst NEUE Sachen (im Alltag, mit deiner Familie, mit deinem Team, mit deinen Kunden) Feiere DICH und deinen ERFOLG (freue dich über das erreichte und baue darauf auf). Das ist dein Life Leadership. Du kreierst dein Mindset - mache es immer bewusster und mache es zu deinem Lifestyle. Egal was du machst, mache es mit dem

In this episode we discuss...our five points on the priorities of rural pastors!Bowling is better than ping-pong.We need to be more like bowling balls: empowered by God, filled with the Spirit, speeding toward the target He’s set up for us. You are just one part of the body.Pastors are called by God to fulfill a specific function. You’re part of the body that needs to function like only that part of the body does. Don’t be the superhero. Be humble enough to do what you’re called to do.Yes, you’ll do other things. You ever cleaned a church toilet? You need to set your priorities according to Scripture!You may have forgotten your first priority.Love for Christ, His Word, and His people must be your first priority.God has equipped you fully to do everything he wants you to do as a Christian, a husband, a father, and a minister of the gospel.If you’re love for Him, His Word, and His people is not primary, you’ll burn out trying to do all these things!You have a primary job: the ministry of the Word!1 Timothy 4:13, 162 Timothy 4:1-4You are meant to empower others.Ephesians 4.Stuff Rural Pastors Can Use Review:Curious about tasty drinks? Try out "AHA" the beverage!Our Quote of the Day:"Stick with your work. Do not flinch because the lion roars. Do not stop to stone the devil’s dogs. Do not fool away your time chasing the devil’s rabbits. Do your work. Let liars lie. Let sectarians quarrel. Let critics malign. Let enemies accuse. Let the devil do his worst. But see to it nothing hinders you from fulfilling with joy the work God has given you. He has not commanded you to be admired or esteemed. He has never bidden you defend your character. He has not set you at work to contradict falsehood (about yourself) which Satan’s or God’s servants may start to peddle, or to track down every rumor that threatens your reputation. If you do these things, you will do nothing else. You will be at work for yourself and not for the Lord. Keep at your work. Let your aim be as steady as a star. You may be assaulted, wronged, insulted, slandered, wounded and rejected, misunderstood, or assigned impure motives; You may be abused by foes, forsaken by friends, and despised and rejected of men. But see to it with steadfast determination, with unfaltering zeal, that you pursue the great purpose of your life and object of your being until at last you can say, 'I have finished the work which Thou gavest me to do.'"

Rylee Jade is 22 years old and is from Indiana. A couple of months ago Rylee came across a program called 75 Hard. A program created by Andy Frisella that is meant to build physical and mental toughness. After hearing about 75 Hard she immediately committed to doing it. Everyday for 75 straight days she had to do: 2 x 45 minute workouts (one has to be outside), read 10 pages of a self development book, drink 1 gallon of water, follow a diet, refrain from any alcohol or cheat meals and take a progress picture. This program was extremely hard and challenged her everyday. During the program she noticed that she was becoming a different person. After she completed the program she got started on creating her own fitness program called F.I.T.4YOU. Her fitness program is now live.
What can we learn about Human Risk from industries, like aviation, where the consequences of errors are matters of life & death.That's a question my guest this time, Andrew Blackie, is more than qualified to answer. He's an independent Safety and Human Factors consultant at Abris Consulting Ltd (http://www.abris.co.uk/). Abris takes aviation safety investigation techniques and applies them to help build operational excellence in the wider safety critical community. Andrew was a Senior Inspector (Operations) at the UK Air Accidents Investigation Branch conducting almost 50 major field investigations, numerous minor investigations and acting as the United Kingdom state representative on investigations conducted by foreign states.With 20 years of aviation experience, Andrew has commercially operated types as varied as the DC-3, the Lockheed Electra and the Citation II for a Formula 1 racing team. He joined the AAIB from DHL Air where he had been a Captain and CRMi on the Boeing 757.Andrew has a Masters degree in "Safety and Accident Investigation" and is accredited by the European Association for Aviation Psychology as a Human Factors Specialist.So super well qualified! In our discussion, we explore some fo the principles used in Aviation and how they can be applied in other scenarios. Plus, learn why recent incidents like this (https://www.independent.co.uk/travel/news-and-advice/airport-hangar-foam-covered-discharge-los-angeles-lax-delta-a9427606.html) are far more severe than they might look.During our discussion, Andrew referenced a research paper by Clewley & Nixon which you'll find here: https://dspace.lib.cranfield.ac.uk/bitstream/handle/1826/14680/Understanding_pilot_response_to_flight_safety-2019.pdf?sequence=4You can follow Andrew on Twitter at https://twitter.com/BlackieAndrew.
James 4:1-12 (NIV) 1What causes fights and quarrels among you? Don't they come from your desires that battle within you? 2You want something but don't get it. You kill and covet, but you cannot have what you want. You quarrel and fight. You do not have, because you do not ask God. 3When you ask, you do not receive, because you ask with wrong motives, that you may spend what you get on your pleasures. 4You adulterous people, don't you know that friendship with the world is hatred toward God? Anyone who chooses to be a friend of the world becomes an enemy of God. 5Or do you think Scripture says without reason that the spirit he caused to live in us envies intensely? 6But he gives us more grace. That is why Scripture says: “God opposes the proud but gives grace to the humble.” 7Submit yourselves, then, to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you. 8Come near to God and he will come near to you. Wash your hands, you sinners, and purify your hearts, you double-minded. 9Grieve, mourn and wail. Change your laughter to mourning and your joy to gloom. 10Humble yourselves before the Lord, and he will lift you up. 11Brothers, do not slander one another. Anyone who speaks against his brother or judges him speaks against the law and judges it. When you judge the law, you are not keeping it, but sitting in judgment on it. 12There is only one Lawgiver and Judge, the one who is able to save and destroy. But you—who are you to judge your neighbor?

The Names and Titles of Jesus – I Am the Way the Truth and the Life- Episode 104 This series of the names and titles of Jesus will give us a more in-depth understanding of Jesus Christ our Lord. This is twelfth in the series. John 14(NIV) “Do not let your hearts be troubled. You believe in God[a]; believe also in me. 2My Father’s house has many rooms; if that were not so, would I have told you that I am going there to prepare a place for you?3And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come back and take you to be with me that you also may be where I am. 4You know the way to the place where I am going.” 5Thomas said to him, “Lord, we don’t know where you are going, so how can we know the way?” 6Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me. 7If you really know me, you will know[b] my Father as well. From now on, you do know him and have seen him.” 8Philip said, “Lord, show us the Father and that will be enough for us.” 9Jesus answered: “Don’t you know me, Philip, even after I have been among you such a long time? Anyone who has seen me has seen the Father. How can you say, ‘Show us the Father’? 10Don’t you believe that I am in the Father, and that the Father is in me? The words I say to you I do not speak on my own authority. Rather, it is the Father, living in me, who is doing his work. 11Believe me when I say that I am in the Father and the Father is in me; or at least believe on the evidence of the works themselves. John 20 30Jesus performed many other signs in the presence of his disciples, which are not recorded in this book. 31But these are written that you may believe that Jesus is the Messiah, the Son of God, and that by believing you may have life in his name. Believe John 20:31 Greek (present continual tense) Credence - believing that the facts accepting the truth. Confidence – believing in (trust and obey) Continuance – go on believing (faith& faithfulness) John 20:31 Greek (present continual tense) “Do not let your hearts be troubled” Verse 1 “Do not let your hearts be troubled. You believe in God; believe also in me…-- Verse 11: “Believe me that I am in the Father and the Father is in me, or else believe on account of the works themselves.” Yes. I’m leaving. No. You can’t come with me now. Yes, you will be scattered this night when they strike the shepherd, and I will do this work alone. But don’t let your sorrow . . . Don’t let your fear . . . Don’t let your shame . . . produce an unholy turmoil in your soul. Let not your hearts be troubled. Trust me. Trust God. Why? There will be a place for you in my Father’s house, as my Father’s children forever Matthew 16:13 WHO IS JESUS 13When Jesus came to the region of Caesarea Philippi, he asked his disciples, “Who do people say the Son of Man is?” Today’s logic says that everybody’s right ----Everyone cannot be right Who is this man who calls himself Jesus one of three possibility He is a liar/conman He is a lunatic The Son of the living God Matthew 16:13 WHO IS JESUS 13When Jesus came to the region of Caesarea Philippi, he asked his disciples, “Who do people say the Son of Man is?” 14They replied, “Some say John the Baptist; others say Elijah; and still others, Jeremiah or one of the prophets.” The scandal of Christianity is not Jesus is a truth or a Savior but the truth and the Savior and anyone who contradicts him is lost and that’s why the world hates him and hates us. He’s not just a profit is not like others it’s his uniqueness that brings about his exclusiveness and that’s a scandal to the world. Promises concerning the Messiah Genesis 49:10 The scepter will not depart from Judah, nor the ruler’s staff from between his feet,[c] until he to whom it belongs[d] shall come and the obedience of the nations shall be his Daniel 9;24 - 27 the city of Jerusalem was to be rebuilt Malachi 3 and Haggai 2 teach that the Messiah was to come while the second Temple was standing Isaiah 11 says a shoot will spring up of Jesse David’s father but even the root has been destroyed with the destruction of the Temple in 70 A.D. Daniel 9;27 says the Messiah would confirm the new covenant and put an end to sacrificial system the sacrificial Finally Isaiah said the coming of the Messiah would be marked by a ingathering of the nations or Gentiles Jesus is the Messiah and he was not just a man even the Jewish scribes said that the Messiah would not be just a man they said the son of David would be greater than they and that he would be Lord of David Mark 12:35 -37 and Psalms 110 he would be God that became man that’s exactly what happened Mark 12:35 -37 35While Jesus was teaching in the temple courts, he asked, “Why do the teachers of the law say that the Messiah is the son of David? 36David himself, speaking by the Holy Spirit, declared: “‘The Lord said to my Lord: “Sit at my right hand until I put your enemies until I put your enemies under your feet.”’[h] 37David himself calls him ‘Lord.’ How then can he be his son?” Matthew16:21 From that time on Jesus began to explain to his disciples that he must go to Jerusalem and suffer many things at the hands of the elders, the chief priests and the teachers of the law, and that he must be killed and on the third day be raised to life. – Matthew 5:48 Therefore you are to be perfect, as your heavenly Father is perfect. Luke 10:25–37 25And behold, a lawyer stood up to put him to the test, saying, “Teacher, what shall I do to inherit eternal life?” 26He said to him, “What is written in the Law? How do you read it?” 27And he answered, s“You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength and with all your mind, and tyour neighbor as yourself.” 28And he said to him, “You have answered correctly; udo this, and you will live.” Justification / Sanctification 2 Corinthians 5 Therefore if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creature; the old things passed away; behold, new things have come. 18Now all these things are from God NATURE – WILL – ACTIVITIES John 14:6 Jesus answered “I AM THE WAY and the truth and the life.

Worship audio from March 4, Lent 3B. Bulletin here or below:Welcome to Shepherd of the Lakes! We’re here to shepherd Christ’s flock and seek the lost sheep by sharing the good news of Jesus Christ with all. Come, let us worship!For your convenience, in the back corner of the sanctuary there is a room for any parents with children in need of a quiet place. The restrooms are located on the lower level. Please ask if you have any further questions or concerns. Lord Jesus, zeal for your Father’s house consumed you. May that same fervor consume us also, who are your spiritual dwelling through faith, that we may offer the AMEN.Faith & Forgiveness:People are also warned that the term faith does not mean simply a knowledge of a history, such as the ungodly and devil have [James 2:19]. Rather, it means a faith that believes, not merely the history, but also the effect of the history. In other words, it believes this article: the forgiveness of sins. We have grace, righteousness, and forgiveness of sins through Christ.The person who knows that he has a Father who is gracious to him through Christ truly knows God [John 14:7]. He also knows that God cares for him [1 Peter 5:7], and he calls upon God [Romans 10:13]. In a word, he is not without God, as are the heathen. For devils and the ungodly are not able to believe this article: the forgiveness of sins. Hence, they hate God as an enemy [Romans 8:7] and do not call Him [Romans 3:11–12] and expect no good from Him. 26 Augustine also warns his readers about the word faith and teaches that the term is used in the Scriptures, not for the knowledge that is in the ungodly, but for the confidence that consoles and encourages the terrified mind.Apology to the Augsburg Confession, Article 1 (Concordia p. 43) Because He Knew: He Put His House in OrderJesus knew all along he was going to die. That was the eternal plan of the Father, that the holy Son of God would suffer and die for a world of sinners. ...In preparation for that day, Jesus cleansed the Temple during Holy Week, just as he did at the beginning of his ministry.How does the cleansing of the Temple guide our Christian lives & work today? OPENING HYMN: 401 – Your Works, Not Mine, O ChristLITURGY: Common Service with Holy Communion, p. 15Please rise.PRAYER OF THE DAY:M: Almighty God, look with favor on your humble servants and stretch out the right hand of your power to defend us against all our enemies; through Jesus Christ, your Son, our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and forever. C: Amen.The WordFIRST READING: Exodus 20:1-17The Law, given by the LORD our God, demands perfect obedience:Then God spoke all these words: 2I am the LORD your God, who brought you out from the land of Egypt, where you were slaves. 3You shall have no other gods beside me. 4You shall not make any carved image for yourself or a likeness of anything in heaven above, or on the earth below, or in the waters under the earth. 5Do not bow down to them or be subservient to them, for I the LORD your God am a jealous God. I follow up on the guilt of the fathers with their children, their grandchildren, and their great-grandchildren, if they also hate me. 6But I show mercy to thousands who love me and keep my commandments. 7You shall not misuse the name of the LORD your God, for the LORD will not permit anyone who misuses his name to escape unpunished. 8Remember the Sabbath day by setting it apart as holy. 9Six days you are to serve and do all your regular work, 10but the seventh day shall be a sabbath rest to the LORD your God. Do not do any regular work, neither you, nor your sons or daughters, nor your male or female servants, nor your cattle, nor the alien who is residing inside your gates, 11for in six days the LORD made the heavens and the earth, the sea, and everything that is in them, but he rested on the seventh day. In this way the LORD blessed the seventh day and made it holy. 12Honor your father and your mother so that you may spend many days on the land that the LORD your God is giving to you. 13You shall not commit murder. 14You shall not commit adultery. 15You shall not steal. 16You shall not give false testimony against your neighbor. 17You shall not covet your neighbor’s house. You shall not covet your neighbor’s wife, his male servant, his female servant, his ox, his donkey, or anything else that belongs to your neighbor. This is the Word of the Lord. Thanks be to God!SECOND READING: Romans 8:1-10The flesh has no strength to free itself from the condemnations of God’s law; but through Christ, God proclaims freedom:So then, there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus. 2For in Christ Jesus the law of the Spirit of life set me free from the law of sin and death. 3Indeed, what the law was unable to do, because it was weakened by the flesh, God did, when he sent his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh to deal with sin. God condemned sin in his flesh, 4so that the righteous decree of the law would be fully satisfied in us who are not walking according to the flesh, but according to the spirit. 5To be sure, those who are in harmony with the sinful flesh think about things the way the sinful flesh does, and those in harmony with the spirit think about things the way the spirit does. 6Now, the way the sinful flesh thinks results in death, but the way the spirit thinks results in life and peace. 7For the mindset of the sinful flesh is hostile to God, since it does not submit to God’s law, and in fact, it cannot. 8Those who are in the sinful flesh cannot please God. 9But you are not in the sinful flesh but in the spirit, if indeed God’s Spirit lives in you. And if someone does not have the Spirit of Christ, that person does not belong to Christ. 10But if Christ is in you, your body is dead because of sin, but your spirit is alive because of righteousness. THEME VERSE: John 3:14-15Just as Moses lifted up the snake in the desert, so the Son of Man must be lifted up, that everyone who believes in him may have eternal life. Thanks be to God.GOSPEL READING: John 2:13-22Jesus is serious about his Word, his dwelling-place, and what goes on there:Glory be to you, O Lord!13The Jewish Passover was near, so Jesus went up to Jerusalem. 14In the temple courts he found people selling cattle, sheep, and doves, and money changers sitting at tables. 15He made a whip of cords and drove everyone out of the temple courts, along with the sheep and oxen. He scattered the coins of the money changers and overturned their tables. 16To those selling doves he said, “Get these things out of here! Stop turning my Father’s house into a place of business!” 17His disciples remembered that it was written, “Zeal for your house will consume me.” 18So the Jews responded, “What sign are you going to show us to prove you can do these things?” 19Jesus answered them, “Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up again.” 20The Jews said, “It took forty-six years to build this temple! And you are going to raise it in three days?” 21But Jesus was speaking about the temple of his body. 22When Jesus was raised from the dead, his disciples remembered that he had said this. Then they believed the Scripture and what Jesus had said. This is the Gospel of our Lord Jesus.Praise be to you, O Christ!HYMN OF THE DAY: 456 – Forth in Your Name, O Lord, I GoSERMON based on John 2: Jesus Promises to Keep Setting His House in OrderCONFESSION OF FAITH: Nicene Creed, p. 31OFFERINGPRAYER & LORD’S PRAYERThe sacramentFor our Holy Communion practice, please see the purple sheet in the pew racks.COMMUNION LITURGY: p. 33DISTRIBUTION HYMN: 532 – God is Here!

What was it Jesus was doing here? How do we read / Hear this sermon? - 17"Do not think that I came to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I did not come to abolish but to fulfill. 18"For truly I say to you, until heaven and earth pass away, not the smallest letter or stroke shall pass from the Law until all is accomplished. 19"Whoever then annuls one of the least of these commandments, and teaches others [to do] the same, shall be called least in the kingdom of heaven; but whoever keeps and teaches [them], he shall be calledgreat in the kingdom of heaven.20"For I say to you that unless your righteousness surpasses [that] of the scribes and Pharisees, you will not enterthe kingdom of heaven. He is rewriting the law in the ears of his hearers. Rewriting it the way it was originally meant to be read and heard. He is giving us our interpretive key for the Old Testament. He is unlearning them the things they had heard and understood from their culture and from their rabbis. The Sermon on the Mount; The Beatitudes1When Jesus saw the crowds, He went up on the mountain; and after He sat down, His disciples came to Him. 2He opened His mouth and [began] to teach them, saying,3"Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.Lets start at the beginning - Lets get one thing straightRealize your povertyRomans 11:35 - 35Or WHO HAS FIRST GIVEN TO HIM THAT IT MIGHT BE PAID BACK TO HIM AGAIN?You know nothing and have nothing to bring to the table. You are compeletly wrong in the way you look at the world. Start by taking every idea in your head and realizing it is worthless.Our lives are a vapor - here one minute and gone the nextAnything we have came to us from God in the first placeAnything we do or make -the ability to do that thing came from God because we are innately flawed and broken everything we do and or create is deeply flawed and broken as wellwe have no ability to be righteouswe have no ability to be truly and deeply good because within our own attempts to be good there are motives which are selfish and broken.happy are those who realize that they have nothing, God owes them nothing - they live in the full and constant knowledge of their spiritual, tangible and moral bankruptcy - we have a word for this attitude - Repentance Jesus is clearing the table - Don’t think you can add what I am saying to your store of spiritual knowledge - this isn’t a conversation - Joy will be found in the abandonment of all the stuff you have in your hands Why are these people happy?????? - “for theirs is the kingdom of Heaven” - all of it. The Kingdom belongs to those who know the truth about themselves - we have nothing - But God would give us everything!Luke 18:16 But Jesus called for them, saying, "Permit the children to come to Me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of God belongs to such as these.Luke 12:32 - Do not be afraid, little flock, for your Father has chosen gladly to give you the kingdom.Isaiah 57:15 - For thus saith the high and lofty One that inhabiteth eternity, whose name is Holy, I dwell in the high and holy place: with him also that is of a contrite and humble spirit, to revive the spirit of the humble, and to revive the heart of the contrite onesJames 4:6 - But he gives more grace. Therefore it says, “God opposes the proud but gives grace to the humble.”Psalm 14:6 - You would shame the plans of the poor,It is only in this place of spiritual poverty that we can begin to receive from God - Only a cup that is empty can be filledOnly a student who knows nothing can learn everythingMatt 19:23-24 - 23And Jesus said to his disciples, “Truly, I say to you, only with difficulty will a rich person enter the kingdom of heaven. 24Again I tell you, it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich person to enter the kingdom of God.”"the eye of a needle” - was the small “door-size” gate that was left open at night. Camel’s could not get through it while carrying anything on their backs and even then they would be forced to get down on all thier knees and crawl. The kingdom of heaven cannot be earned - It can only be given.The kingdom of heaven can only be received by GRACE as a gift from God Gal 2:21I do not nullify the grace of God, for if righteousnessc were through the law, then Christ died for no purpose.Rom 11:6 But if it is by grace, it is no longer on the basis of works; otherwise grace would no longer be grace.If you attempt to earn grace you will lose it - Gal 5:4 4You have been severedfrom Christ, you who are seeking to be justified by law; you have fallen from grace. In Christ we must repent of our sins - but we must also repent of our selfrightouesnessEither we wear OUR righteousness or we wear Christ’s righteousness - we cannot have it both waysEither we are spiritually poor - or we do not receive the kingdom of heaven
This is the eleventh class on the book of Hebrews. This Bible class was taught at the Pilot Point Church in Pilot Point Texas. The following is the outline of the class. God's Most Frightening Warning Hebrews 6 (NASB) 6 Therefore leaving the elementary teaching about the Christ, let us press on to maturity, not laying again a foundation of repentance from dead works and of faith toward God, 2of instruction about washings and laying on of hands, and the resurrection of the dead and eternal judgment. 3And this we will do, if God permits. GOD’S WARNING Hebrews Chapter 6:4-8 A 4For in the case of those who have once been enlightened and have tasted of the heavenly gift and have been made partakers of the Holy Spirit, 5and have tasted the good word of God and the powers of the age to come, 6and then have fallen away, it is impossible to renew them again to repentance, since they again crucify to themselves the Son of God and put Him to open shame. Hebrews 6(NASB) 4For in the case of those who have once been enlightened 2. and have tasted of the heavenly gift 3. and have been made partakers of the Holy Spirit, 4. 5and have tasted the good word of God 5. and the powers of the age to come, 6. 6and then have fallen away, 7. it is impossible to renew them again to repentance, since they again crucify to themselves the Son of God and put Him to open shame. Hebrews 6(NASB) 4For in the case of those who have once been enlightened 2. and have tasted of the heavenly gift Hebrews 2 (NASB) 9But we do see Jesus, who was made lower than the angels for a little while, now crowned with glory and honor because he suffered death, so that by the grace of God he might taste death for everyone. Hebrews 6(NASB) For in the case of those who have once been enlightened 2. and have tasted of the heavenly gift 3. and have been made partakers of the Holy Spirit, Because you are his sons, God sent the Spirit of his Son into our hearts, the Spirit who calls out, “Abba, Father.” Galatians 4:6 4. 5and have tasted the good word of God 5. and the powers of the age to come, 6. 6and then have fallen away, 7. it is impossible to renew them again to repentance, since they again crucify to themselves the Son of God and put Him to open shame. IN CHRIST 7In him we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, in accordance with the riches of God’s grace • EPH 1 38 For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, 39Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord. Romans 8:38 4You who are trying to be justified by the law have been alienated from Christ; you have fallen away from grace. Galatians 5:4 3You are already clean because of the word which I have spoken to you. 4Abide in Me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself unless it abides in the vine, so neither can you unless you abide in Me. 5I am the vine, you are the branches; he who abides in Me and I in him, he bears much fruit, for apart from Me you can do nothing. 6If anyone does not abide in Me, he is thrown away as a branch and dries up; and they gather them, and cast them into the fire and they are burned. John 15 Calvinism Hebrews 6(NASB) 4For in the case of those who have once been enlightened 2. and have tasted of the heavenly gift 3. and have been made partakers of the Holy Spirit, 4. 5and have tasted the good word of God 5. and the powers of the age to come, 6. 6and then have fallen away, 7. it is impossible to renew them again to repentance, since they again crucify to themselves the Son of God and put Him to open shame. Different categories of falling away 1.Apostate= someone who leaves Christ for another savior it is impossible to renew them again to repentance, since they again crucify to themselves the Son of God and put Him to open shame 2. Judaizer= someone who wants to hold on to Christ and Judaism Galatians 5 (NASB) 1 It was for freedom that Christ set us free; therefore keep standing firm and do not be subject again to a yoke of slavery. 2Behold I, Paul, say to you that if you receive circumcision, Christ will be of no benefit to you. 3And I testify again to every man who receives circumcision, that he is under obligation to keep the whole Law. 4You have been severed from Christ, you who are seeking to be justified by law; you have fallen from grace. Different categories of falling away Apostate= someone who leaves Christ for another savior 2. Judaizer= someone who wants to hold on to Christ and Judaism 3. Backslider= someone who leaves Christ to go back into the world 2 Peter 2 (NASB) 20For if, after they have escaped the defilements of the world by the knowledge of the Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, they are again entangled in them and are overcome, the last state has become worse for them than the first. 21For it would be better for them not to have known the way of righteousness, than having known it, to turn away from the holy commandment handed on to them. 22It has happened to them according to the true proverb, “A DOG RETURNS TO ITS OWN VOMIT,” and, “A sow, after washing, returns to wallowing in the mire.” You can restore a Christian caught in sin. Galatians 6:1 Brothers and sisters, if someone is caught in a sin, you who live by the Spirit should restore that person gently. But watch yourselves, or you also may be tempted. 7Do not be deceived: God cannot be mocked. A man reaps what he sows. 8Whoever sows to please their flesh, from the flesh will reap destruction; whoever sows to please the Spirit, from the Spirit will reap eternal life. 9Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up.

Unloving Christian = someone who does not love the brethren -----1 John3:14 We know that we have passed out of death into life, because we love the brethren. He who does not love abides in death. 1 Corinthians 3(NIV) 16Don’t you know that you yourselves are God’s temple and that God’s Spirit dwells in your midst? 17If anyone destroys God’s temple, God will destroy that person; for God’s temple is sacred, and you together are that temple.

False teacher = someone who knowingly perverts a gospel tenet about Jesus Galatians (NASB) 8But even if we, or an angel from heaven, should preach to you a gospel contrary to what we have preached to you, he is to be accursed! 9As we have said before, so I say again now, if any man is preaching to you a gospel contrary to what you received, he is to be accursed!

Lukewarm Christian = don’t care, selfish Christians Revelation 3:14-19 (NASB) 14“To the angel of the church in Laodicea write: • The Amen, the faithful and true Witness, the [a] Beginning of the creation of God, says this: • 15‘I know your deeds, that you are neither cold nor hot; I wish that you were cold or hot. 16So because you are lukewarm, and neither hot nor cold, I will [b]spit you out of My mouth. 17Because you say, “I am rich, and have become wealthy, and have need of nothing,” and you do not know that you are wretched and miserable and poor and blind and naked, 18I advise you to buy from Me gold refined by fire so that you may become rich, and white garments so that you may clothe yourself, and that the shame of your nakedness will not be revealed; and eye salve to anoint your eyes so that you may see. 19Those whom I love, I reprove and discipline; therefore be zealous and repent. IN CHRIST 7In him we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, in accordance with the riches of God’s grace • EPH 1 For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, 39Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

4:9-12 9You have captured my heart, my treasure, my bride. You hold it hostage with one glance of your eyes, with a single jewel of your necklace. 10Your love delights me, my treasure, my bride. Your love is better than wine, your perfume more fragrant than spices. 11Your lips are as sweet as nectar, my bride. Honey and milk are under your tongue. Your clothes are scented like the cedars of Lebanon. 12You are my private garden, my treasure, my bride, a secluded spring, a hidden fountain. 5:9-16, Her Words... 10My lover is dark and dazzling, better than ten thousand others! 11His head is finest gold, his wavy hair is black as a raven. 12His eyes sparkle like doves beside springs of water; they are set like jewels washed in milk. 13His cheeks are like gardens of spices giving off fragrance. His lips are like lilies, perfumed with myrrh. 14His arms are like rounded bars of gold, set with beryl. His body is like bright ivory, glowing with lapis lazuli. 15His legs are like marble pillars set in sockets of finest gold. His posture is stately, like the noble cedars of Lebanon. 16His mouth is sweetness itself; he is desirable in every way. Such, O women of Jerusalem, is my lover, my friend. 6:4-10, His Words... 4You are beautiful, my darling, like the lovely city of Tirzah. Yes, as beautiful as Jerusalem, as majestic as an army with billowing banners. 5Turn your eyes away, for they overpower me. Your hair falls in waves, like a flock of goats winding down the slopes of Gilead. 6Your teeth are as white as sheep that are freshly washed. Your smile is flawless, each tooth matched with its twin. 7Your cheeks are like rosy pomegranates behind your veil. 8Even among sixty queens and eighty concubines and countless young women, 9I would still choose my dove, my perfect one—the favorite of her mother, dearly loved by the one who bore her. The young women see her and praise her; even queens and royal concubines sing her praises: 10“Who is this, arising like the dawn, as fair as the moon, as bright as the sun, as majestic as an army with billowing banners?” 7:6,7 6Place me like a seal over your heart, like a seal on your arm. For love is as strong as death, its jealous as enduring as the grave. Love flashes like fire, the brightest kind of flame. 7Many waters cannot quench love, nor can rivers drown it. If a man tried to buy love with all his wealth, his offer would be utterly scorned. Focus & Fight (slide...for each line all the way through message.) Focus…on what excites you!

GOD-THE HOLY SPIRIT We have done a lot of speaking on the work of dark spirits in the last year. Now we will open the revelation of God to see.......and experience the Person, work and fire of the infinite, eternal, Spirit of God and of Glory. It is the Spirit of God Himself that knows every move of the dark spirits; He knows the agenda and exactly where they are and what they are doing. It is the Spirit of God who has spoken with pin point accuracy of the future infusion and ramping up of dark supernatural spirits as they seek to fulfill they're agenda. He is what the Spirit of God has said: 1The Spirit clearly says that in later times some will abandon the faith and follow deceiving spirits and things taught by demons. 1 John 4 1Dear friends, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are from God, because many false prophets have gone out into the world. 2This is how you can recognize the Spirit of God: Every spirit that acknowledges that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is from God, 3but every spirit that does not acknowledge Jesus is not from God. This is the spirit of the antichrist, which you have heard is coming and even now is already in the world. 4You, dear children, are from God and have overcome them, because the one who is in you is greater than the one who is in the world. 5They are from the Russ Dizdar The new Course http://www.thirdmillenniumtheology.com/page7.html http://www.shatterthedarkness.net/
