INTRODUCTIONI love coffee cups. I don't drink coffee. I know, I know, that's weird on multiple levels. Let me tell you how hopeless I am. I don't drink coffee (and hot chocolate on a little), but I love to shop for coffee cups. Now, I do have a pet peeve about coffee cups. When we get our theology from coffee cups.Coffee cup theology can be misleading. I mean, there's just no room for context on that shiny cup of ceramic goodness. It's not like the coffee cup with Jeremiah 29:11 on it (“For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.” NIV) has room to say that Israel was told this by God while living in exile in the capital city of their arch enemy the Babylonians because they were spiritually unfaithful to him. Not sure that would sell well either.Transition:“Have you ever found yourself somewhere you didn't want to be, facing a situation you didn't choose? That's where the Israelites found themselves—exiled in Babylon. And yet, God speaks into their situation, not with an escape plan, but with a call to pray for and to seek the peace and prosperity of the place in which they're stuck.”Understanding ExileDefinition (Jeremiah 29 context):In this passage, exile refers to the forced relocation of the people of Judah from Jerusalem to Babylon after its conquest by King Nebuchadnezzar in 597–586 BC. It wasn't just geographic—it was spiritual, cultural, and emotional dislocation.They were living among people who didn't share their faith, customs, or values—a godless empire with strange idols and foreign tongues. Yet God didn't say, “Escape.” He said, “Engage.”Key insight:Exile is not just displacement; it's God's discipline with a redemptive purpose.It reminds us that home isn't always where we are, but where God is.OUTLINEWHY we should pray for the peace and prosperity of our city:Because the Lord told us to. (29:4) Our faith is that simple. A. Either we trust and obey the Lord, orB. We don't. To not trust and obey is sin.Because it's part of God's way of rescuing his people from the kingdom of darkness. He tells Israel to settle down and live their lives in the midst of their (and his) enemies. But to do it with an eye to the crowds (the harvest) and the clouds (his return) for their transformation. This requires prayer. Abiding in Christ.The crowds, in this case, happen to be his enemies--the Babylonians.The clouds, in this case, refer to the end of their exile in 70 years.WHAT does this look like? We "bloom where we're planted." We settle in to our circles of influence and accountability.Influence--those circles of people we interact with where we live, work, learn and play.Accountability--we will stand before God one day and answer for how we did or didn't do this; for how we led or didn't lead our family to do this. God planted you at your address for a reason. For this season, you're to be Jesus to those around you there.We multiply. We build our career and homestead as if we're going to be here a while. For Israel, it was in the midst of their enemy, Babylon. For us, it is in America and in the midst of enemies of God. (29:5)We build our family. (29:6)This includes our biological family. (Kids, grandkids)Can include extended family. Can include adopted family. (Formally and not)Certainly includes your spiritual/church family.We do this until our "70 years" are over. Then we go home; back to Jerusalem/Zion. Cf. Revelation 21:1-8We pray for the peace and prosperity of our city where we live, work, learn and play. (7)We do this as we go about our lives.Why? Because it benefits us and our family tangibly.Because it benefits us, and family and our world spiritually/eternally.We do not believe those who live for other gods. (29:8-9)We do this until he takes us home. This is his plan for us.HOW we pray for the peace and prosperity of our city: "A Vision For the City: Jesus & Paul's Strategy Illustrated by 4 Fields of Kingdom Growth" (Optional)oGo together: John 17:20 - that we may be one as we pray and go into the cityLuke 10:1-11 - How Jesus trained his disciples to go:Pray for workers for the harvestBe a worker in the harvestBe prepared to suffer in the harvestGo empty-handed so you'll depend on the LordLook for people of peace; they unlock many moreBless them and then receive what they offerHeal the sick; proclaim the good news that the kingdom of God is nearLeave when not welcomed; tell them why you're moving onGospel: Acts 17:32-34 (4 responses)Share the gospel wherever you goSome will mock you--move onSome will want to know more (or pretend to want to know more) - give them more Some will trust Christ--give them more & train them upSome will already know Christ--offer to train them upGrow: Matthew 28:18-20 + 411 + Commands of ChristLearn the words, ways and works of Jesus ChristLead others in the words...Gather: Acts 2:36-47 + Commands of Christ - Shows us how to live as the church3/3rds groups; DBS; Hi/Lo; Follow & Fish; etc.A church does not have to look like what we see most visibly in AmericaIt doesn't require a seminary degreeIt doesn't require bricks and mortarTo say you follow Jesus but don't actively engage as a member of a church is not the NT wayGuide: (MAWL) We lead others to follow us as we follow Jesus byModeling for themAssisting themWatching them Leaving them to do it and lead others to do itCONCLUSIONConsider sharing the story of why Neal McGlohon started the Cypress Project here (see notes).So the Lord Jesus calls his disciples to keep their eyes on the clouds and the crowds. Keep your eyes on the people you see where you live, work, learn and play each day. For he has you there on purpose for a purpose.Also, keep your eyes on the clouds. For this is not all there is. This is not our home. Our home awaits us. Our exile in this world is temporary. We will go and stand before our Creator one day. And as his kids we'll be welcomed home with great zeal from our Lord and Savior. However, if we do known him as Lord and Savior, we'll simply meet him as Lord. And that means we'll be forever separated from him. And that will be eternal misery.But if you're here today, know that God has surrounded you with people who have their eyes on the crowds and the clouds. As we await his return to take us home, we are looking for opportunities to show and tell the good news about a great kingdom and exalted king. A king who forgives and blesses beyond anything we could ever deserve.He calls you to himself right now. Will you believe and receive his mercy and grace today?Bottom line: We pray for and seek the peace and prosperity for our city because it's God's missionary plan for loving God and loving people.Will you believe apart of that plan?INVITATIONWhat about you?Peter puts it all in perspective in his first sermon:““Therefore let all Israel be assured of this: God has made this Jesus, whom you crucified, both Lord and Messiah.” When the people heard this, they were cut to the heart and said to Peter and the other apostles, “Brothers, what shall we do?” Peter 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. The promise is for you and your children and for all who are far off—for all whom the Lord our God will call.”” Acts 2:36-39 NIVHow do we respond? Answer 2 questions:Take out a card or piece of paper right now. Write down the answer to these questions: What is God saying to me right now?What am I going to do about it? Write this down on a sheet of paper. What I hear you saying, Lord, is ___________________.[my name] is going to believe/do __________________________________________________ as a result.Finally, share this with your Home or Mission group this week when you gather as a testimony about what God is doing in your life. You don't have to get too specific to give him praise.Lord's Supper, 1 Cor 11:23-26 is good passage.Also, say something like, "Christ has died, Christ is risen, Christ will come again." (past, present, and future)PrayNOTES

I'd hate for this to sound like a new age tactic to get you connected with God, because it's certainly not. More than that, this episode invites us to consider a way of connecting with God that only requires one thing…well, one person. You. In this episode I introduce/reintroduce contemplative prayer and how God is desiring more intimacy with us through our presence. Abiding with Him.The spiritual disciplines of prayer, fasting and scripture reading have their respective place, but we often bypass the most powerful connection with God; sitting with Him.Tune in as I return to the podcast from a restful summer break.

Jesus spoke frequently about abiding in Him. Constantly praying, listening, and obeying is how we best abide and experience a fruitful life.

Why does keeping Christ's commandments matter so much? Because obedience leads to intimacy. Jesus promises to manifest Himself to those who treasure His words (John 14:21). As we keep His commands, we receive His love, experience answered prayer, grow in joy, and reflect His heart to others. In loving Him this way, we find life and lasting fellowship.In this series, we've seen that true love for Christ is shown by keeping His commandments—not to earn His favor, but because we already have it. As we treasure His Word, He transforms our minds, fills our hearts, and draws us into deeper intimacy. Obedience is not a burden, but a pathway into the joy and presence of the One we love.Want to go deeper in studying this command of Christ?

"Whoever says he abides in him ought to walk in the same way in which he walked." 1 John 2:6
POWER FOR TODAY is intended to equip the believers with the supernatural dimension of God, through the teaching of the unadulterated word of God.
In John 15, Jesus declares Himself the true Vine and calls His followers to abide in Him, for apart from Him they can do nothing. Abiding means staying deeply connected to Christ through obedience, dependence, and love, so that our lives bear lasting spiritual fruit. This sermon reminds us that intimacy with Jesus is the source of true transformation and the only way to glorify the Father.
John 6:52-53 Then the Jews began to argue with one another, saying, “How can this man give us His flesh to eat?” So Jesus said to them, “Truly, truly, I say to you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink His blood, you have no life in yourselves.” I'm so glad we live on this side of the cross and the resurrection. The consternation of the crowd seems understandable to me, since they didn't know that He was going to give His body to be broken under the weight of the sins of the world. They didn't know that He would shed His lifeblood for purification of sins and to reconcile the world to God. The apostle Paul explained it this way in Colossians 1:19-20. “For it was the Father's good pleasure for all the fullness to dwell in Him, and through Him to reconcile all things to Himself, having made peace through the blood of His cross; through Him, I say, whether things on earth or things in heaven.” We live in the light of the cross and resurrection. We know what it means to eat His flesh and drink His blood. It is to abide in Christ! We know the great love God has revealed in Christ, so we aren't standing in the dark like the crowd who grumbled at Jesus words. We should be very encouraged by the reality we have experienced in Jesus. We have life in us because we have believed to the point of trusting Jesus with our lives. May I ask you personally if you have a deep desire to continuously abide in Jesus? Do you realize that apart from Him, you cannot bear fruit? Are you eating and drinking from the life of Jesus? I hope and pray that your answer is a resounding, “Yes.” Abiding in Christ is like having a power tool plugged into an outlet and the “on” button is engaged. You're ready to go into this day with a superpower pulsing in your soul. Every person whom the Lord places in your path will be blessed as you receive the life sap from the vine and then give to them what you receive. Enjoy your day with Jesus! I invite you to become a partner in our ministry. Would you pray about becoming a regular supporter of Elijah Ministries and the Live to Love with Jesus ministry? I hope you will receive the joy and benefit of "giving it forward," so others may receive encouragement to turn their hearts to God and to live to love with Jesus.

Hard times will come. Temptation will knock. But the key to standing firm? Abide in the Vine. (John 15:4) Because fruitfulness doesn't come from striving. It comes from staying connected to the true Vine DAILY. Abide when pruning hurts. Abide through prayer. Abide in His Word. Let abiding in Him be your rhythm this week!

How can we keep Christ's commands if we feel so weak? We can't—at least, not in our own strength. But Jesus never asked us to. As we abide in Him, He enables us by His Spirit to walk as He walked. Through simple steps of memorizing, meditating, and setting our minds on His Word, He empowers a life of joyful obedience and deeper communion.In this series, we've seen that true love for Christ is shown by keeping His commandments—not to earn His favor, but because we already have it. As we treasure His Word, He transforms our minds, fills our hearts, and draws us into deeper intimacy.

John 15:1-11 Printable Outline: 7-20-25 Sermon audio: 7-20-25 Sermon video:
The Abiding, 11min., USA Directed by Ally May A lonely woman reminieces about the three great loves of her life while she decides if trying again is a risk worth taking. https://writerdirectorallymay.com/ https://www.instagram.com/allymay/?hl=en Get to know the filmmaker: 1. What motivated you to make this film? Honestly, my motivation was/is to take every opportunity to develop as a director. I was at a festival, I had a room, a crew and actors, so I put it together really fast and shot it. 2. From the idea to the finished product, how long did it take for you to make this film? I wrote the script several years ago and had it sitting in my computer. Then I got the bright idea to shoot in about a month before we did. So, realistically, about a month. 3. How would you describe your film in two words!? Intimate, mature. 4. What was the biggest obstacle you faced in completing this film? The biggest obstacle was blocking the scenes. We did not have access to the hotel room until the day we shot, so had no time to plan out blocking. 5. What were your initial reactions when watching the audience talking about your film in the feedback video? The first woman was very sterile, it seemed like she hadn't watched it and was just reading text. The other two that gave feedback seemed very genuine and thoughtful.

How can you conquer what's defeating you? In this powerful episode, recorded live at the National Religious Broadcasters Convention in Dallas, host Tina Yeager sits down with Karl Clauson—host of Moody Radio's "Karl and Crew Mornings," pastor of vision and leadership at 180Chicago, and an Iditarod Trail sled dog race finisher. Together, they dive deep into the topic of “Conquering What Is Defeating You.” Karl opens up about his own struggles with addiction, the true meaning of sin, and how shame and self-justification can keep us trapped in destructive cycles. The conversation unpacks practical, faith-based strategies for breaking free from the things that hold us back—including Karl's three-step approach to lasting spiritual victory: embracing humility, abiding in Christ, and learning to depend daily on the Holy Spirit. If you've ever felt stuck, burdened by guilt, or wondered how to break the cycle of defeat, this episode will offer you hope, encouragement, and actionable wisdom for your journey. Tune in for an honest, grace-filled discussion aimed at helping you experience the true freedom and flourishing that comes from walking closely with God. Key Takeaways from the Conversation: 1. Identify What's in the Shadows Before we can overcome what's weighing us down, we need to identify it. Karl reminded us that confronting the hidden challenges in our lives requires courage and honesty. As he put it, “The issue of killing sin, it's not commonly talked about, but it's a hallmark of really living in discipleship with Christ.” 2. Understand What “Missing the Mark” Really Means Karl shared the true meaning of “sin” as missing the bullseye—not a shameful label, but a recognition of imperfection. This compassionate view frames repentance as an invitation to mercy, not condemnation. 3. Don't Fall for Self-Justification It's easy to compare ourselves to others and rationalize our struggles, but the focus should be on following Jesus and letting Him guide each individual journey. 4. Surrender to God's Power Karl vulnerably opened up about his own battles with addiction and explained that, “The older I get, the more…aware I am both of my own sin and of the loving God who wants to liberate us.” Freedom starts when we let God do what we cannot do ourselves. 5. Three-Step Symphony to Freedom Karl describes the journey to victory like movements in a symphony: Humility: The root virtue of all others. True humility means focusing more on God's greatness than our own shortcomings. Abiding in Christ: Staying close to Jesus—“the Vine”—so that His life flows through us and produces fruit, rather than striving to manufacture change on our own. Yielding to the Holy Spirit: Raising our “sails” so God's Spirit can empower, guide, and remind us of truth moment by moment. 6. It's Not About Willpower Alone One of the most powerful reminders—“You can't do it. You can't conquer what's defeating you. But God can.” Want to Dive Deeper?

What are we constantly thinking about—and how is it shaping us? We all keep something before our face: phones, media, opinions, fears. But Jesus calls us to keep His words. What we behold, we become. Treasuring His commands leads to peace, authenticity, and transformation as our thoughts align with His truth and our hearts grow in love for Him.What are we constantly thinking about—and how is it shaping us?
