With 0% identifying as Christians or evangelicals, they remain unreached by the gospel. Though Bible translation has been started, the Aheu Luang peoples do not have access to the Bible. Pray for long term workers to be sent to this community and for the gospel to reach the Aheu people for the first time, revealing the goodness and power of God over the spirits that they worship.FinancesWeekly Budget 35,297Giving For 03/09 42,264Giving For 03/16 25,450YTD Budget 1,350,995Giving 1,298,595 OVER/(UNDER) (7,400)Fellowship 101We invite you to join us on Sunday, April 6, at 9:00 a.m. to learn more about Fellowship.

2 Thessalonians 1. Sermon preached by Eric Dokken at GCC Marblehead, January 10, 2020.
Pray with me. Here's another empowering Kingdom Prayer Dynamic ... we can pray down the plumbline of Christ into earth-borne scenarios. In this episode, we pray for America and China. (If you live in another nation, you can use this prayer template in your context.) If you're "in Christ," then you are "seated with Christ" in the heavenlies. Pray down into scenarios. Pray that things will align with Christ's plumbline -- that the executive will of the Father will be realized in the earth. This is the 8th in a new prayer series we are creating that will become its own podcast soon. "Behold I lay in Zion a stone for the foundation, a tried stone, a precious cornerstone, a sure foundation; whoever believes will not act hastily. Also I will make justice the measuring line, and righteousness the plummet; the hail will sweep away the refuge of lies, and the waters will overflow the hiding place" (Isaiah 28:16-17 NKJV).

Segregated Families-Growing Through Co-Parenting Segregated-separated or divided Mark 3:25-27 And if a house be divided against itself, that house cannot stand. And if Satan rise up against himself, and be divided, he cannot stand, but hath an end.No man can enter into a strong man's house, and spoil his goods, except he will first bind the strong man; and then he will spoil his house. I dedicate this wisdom to Single Mother’s who are struggling between cutting the father out of a child’s life because of “Baby Momma-Daddy Drama,” lacking mental, physical, emotional, spiritual or financial support, or being left to clean up the mess from their child’s disappointment. Let’s Get To The Root Of The Issue • Children are a gift from God • Use discernment as well as wise counsel. • Remove your heartbreak struggles from your parenting decision making. • Forgive, forgive, forgive, & keep forgiving. • Love like Christ • Pray without ceasing • Get a mediator • The child’s needs must be put before anyone. • Grow through it allthingsbinsideout.com #coparenting #parenting #singlemother #children

The purpose of this broadcast is to share helpful insights in how to nurture and teach your teen about their spiritual identity. We will offer some biblical strategies to help teens become established in their identity in Christ. Did you know George Barna, one of the world’s leading statisticians said in his book, “Transforming Children into Spiritual Champions-Why Children Should Be Your Church’s #1 Priority,” “moral foundations of children are generally determined by the time the individual reaches age nine. Our research confirms a parallel outcome in the spiritual dimension: By age nine, most children have their spiritual moorings in place.” What does this mean for us? If you want to have an impact on the next generation then you must do it by the age of nine. He also says that their spiritual identity will be set by the age of thirteen. We have a critical period of time to help these young people develop into spiritual champions—people that will know their Lord and Savior personally. What we talked about Take a closer look at the podcast mission statement: It is to equip parents in raising kids committed to God’s purpose for sexuality, the family, and the honorable use of all technology. Here are three points from the mission statement that relate to the topic of identity: Teens learn that no matter what happens to them in life, God loves them and cares about every detail of their lives (1 Peter 5:7) God is the source for their identity and purpose. We are His masterpiece and He created/crafted us for greatness (Eph. 2:10) The young men and women who navigate well through the challenges of this technological world know who they are in Christ Parents must realize they have a lot of influence to mold and shape their child. Here are some points Dr. John wants to communicate first: Pray for discernment to know the bent and flow of your child (Prov. 22:6) Use teachable moments Be transparent about your identity in Christ Pray for influence and favor as you impart God’s concern for your teen’s heart/their glory A resource that might guide parents in thinking through how they can love their kids unconditionally and help establish them in their spiritual identity: Gary Smalley and John Trent wrote a book called The Blessing They highlighted five specific actions from the Scripture, including: 1. Meaningful touch; 2. A spoken message; 3. Attaching high value; 4. Picturing a special future; 5. An active commitment The Bible is filled with verses that pertain to spiritual identity. Dr. John highlights a few passages of Scripture that parents might want to focus on: Ephesians 2:10– For we are God’s handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do. 2 Corinthians 5:17– Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come – the old has gone, the new is here! Romans 8: 37– No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us. 1 John 3:1– See what great love the Father has lavished on us, that we should be called children of God. Philippians 3:20– But our citizenship is in heaven. And we eagerly await a Savior from there, the Lord Jesus Christ. 1 John 4:4– You, 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. Romans 8:1– Therefore, there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus. John 15:15– I no longer call you servants, because a servant does not know his master’s business. Instead, I have called you friends, for everything that I learned from my Father I have made known to you. Romans 8:17– Now if we are children, then we are heirs — heirs of God and co-heirs with Christ, if indeed we share in his sufferings in order that we may also share in his glory. A great resource for parents to get biblical support is the book by Neil Anderson called Who I am in Christ. Or, his other book Overcoming Negative Self-Image is very helpful for teens. Healthy “family” habits are important, too. Dr. John talks about some rituals or habits that would be helpful in establishing a child’s spiritual identity: One is to take pictures of each child from time to time. Then, you can write positive words about who they are on it: Generous, kind, an encourager, a great voice, good athlete, etc. Practice gratitude frequently at meals and holidays Family devotions that emphasize the Bible is our family story…help your teens see their life through the narrative of the Scripture…give an example Create a family motto (Phil. 4:13 or Matt 19:26), such as: Have courage and be kind. We can do all things through Christ Work hard and be grateful Trust God and family is forever Highlight spiritual gifts (giving, leadership, teaching, helps, hospitality, wisdom, faith, pastor, etc.). Parents: Don’t be discouraged or overwhelmed by everything Dr. John has talked about so far. Here’s some encouragement from Dr. John: Tiffany Stuart said, “Building our teen’s identity is a long process. The Great Wall of China took years of extensive labor before it fended off enemies. Our teens live in a hostile culture. They need a wall of protection. As parental masons, we can help them stand up under fire.” We must hold on to the belief (and it is true!), God Loves Our Children More Than We Do! We must also seek the help of God’s People The Church has an obligation to help shape spiritual identities too. Here’s how the church can have a positive role in helping teens strengthen their spiritual identity: Teenagers need models and mentors. "O God, You have taught me from my youth, And I still declare Your wondrous deeds. And even when I am old and gray, O God, do not forsake me, Until I declare Your strength to this generation, Your power to all who are to come. " (Psalm 71:17,18). Of course you as a parent are called to be the primary spiritual mentor of your own teenager but he/she also needs other godly adults! Teenagers need community. "And let us consider how we may spur one another on toward love and good deeds, not giving up meeting together, as some are in the habit of doing, but encouraging one another—and all the more as you see the Day approaching." (Hebrews 10:24,25). It is a place where teens can learn their spiritual gifting. Teenagers need mission. When Jesus challenged his most-likely teenaged disciples to "go and make disciples of all nations", he was tapping into the activist wiring of these young men. In the same way your teenager needs challenged with the mission to reach their peers with the good news of Jesus in a loving and contagious way. Teenagers need theology. "Then we will no longer be immature like children. We won’t be tossed and blown about by every wind of new teaching. We will not be influenced when people try to trick us with lies so clever they sound like the truth. Instead, we will speak the truth in love, growing in every way more and more like Christ, who is the head of his body, the church." Ephesians 4:14,15 Youth group is a place where teenagers can wrestle through the theology you've been teaching them (you've been teaching them right?) and have it reinforced in a powerful and personal way under the guidance of a youth leader who knows how to ask great questions and point teens to sound truth. Teenagers need a safe place to confess and confide. "Confess your sins to each other and pray for each other so that you may be healed." James 5:16 Often teenagers who struggle with sin and temptation have nowhere to confess and confide. They feel trapped by their sins. But a healthy youth ministry can create a safe space for teenagers to open up and talk honestly about their struggles. Of course, this doesn't mean they should confess every sin to everyone. But it does mean that they should have a handful of others who know their struggles and can pray for and encourage them to walk in victory over those sins.
Genesis 34—Poor Spiritual Leadership Lesson 1: __________________ is no substitute for obedience (Gen 31:13 cf. Gen 33:20; 1 Sam 15:22). Lesson 2: A father’s ____________________ endangers his family (Gen 34:1). Lesson 3: The __________ __________ to assimilate our families (Gen 34:8-10). Lesson 4: A fathers’ _________________ causes problems (Gen 34:6-14, 3:17, 16:2).

Family Worship Guide Memory Verses: James 4:15-17 Day 1: Read Gen. 31:13, 33:18-20 and discuss: Examine yourself. What was the last thing that God clearly revealed to you, through the Holy Spirit and His Word? Are you still walking in obedience? Or, is there need for repentance? Day 2: Read Gen. 34 and discuss: What are some clear examples of lines you’ve drawn with your family (or, as a non-father: lines that have been drawn in your family)? What is the reason for these boundaries? Does your family understand why there are certain things that are off-limits in your household? Recount an example from your past (or someone you know) of compromise and/or world assimilation. Discuss the lessons your family could learn from this situation. Day 3: Read Gen. 35:1-4 and discuss: Examine yourself (whether you are a father or not). What sin(s) used to characterize your life? What sin is something that you are actively trying to put-off, but is not completely put-off, yet? What sin do you need to repent of? What do you need to seek forgiveness for? When was the last time you confessed sin to someone else in your family (or to a close friend)? When you feel discouraged because of sin, what kind of response from you would glorify God and exalt Christ?

In the long road to healing, we will experience with Jesus feelings of darkness, abandonment, and of being left unprotected. Where is God when we cry with Him, "My God, my God, what have you forsaken me?" Welcome Jamie and Stephnie, Bible Study Evangelista's newest friends of the show, and thank you to Rowena, and MaryKatherine, for the extra love and lift! Study Audio Action Items As you are crucified with Christ: Pray the Sorrowful Mysteries of the Rosary for the graces to be crucified with Christ (Gal 2:20). If you have not yet asked God where He was present in the time(s) you were wounded, take some time this week to do so, maybe in Adoration, and give Him the silence and solitude necessary for Him to answer you. LOVE the Word™ is a Bible study method based on Mary's own practice: lectio without the Latin. This week’s LOVE the Word™ exercise is according to Augustinian and Franciscan* personality approaches. Listen (Receive the Word.) Augustinian: 26 When Jesus saw his mother, and the disciple whom he loved standing near, he said to his mother, “Woman, behold, your son!” 27 Then he said to the disciple, “Behold, your mother!” And from that hour the disciple took her to his own home. or Franciscan: Listen to the hymn Stabat Mater. This is a 30 minute exercise. There are lyrics here. Hit play when you have time to sit in meditation; then click on the link with the lyrics and sit in meditation with the lyrics and music. Observe (Connect the passage to recent events.) If you are not Catholic, have you considered that Jesus' mother is also your spiritual mother (Rev 12:17)? What does that mean for you in your woundedness? If you are Catholic, how does Mary's title, Stabat Mater speak to you? How does she show you Jesus in your woundedness? Have you invited the Stabat Mater, our Blessed Mother, into your wounds? What do you want to say to her about that? Verbalize (Pray about your thoughts and emotions.) In your journal or on your journal page (get a free page to the right), write down your thoughts and feelings about this musical composition/ this verse. What's the main thing God wants you to know? What is the Holy Spirit saying to you about His presence in the mysterious darkness surrounding Jesus at His crucifixion? Entrust (May it be done to me according to your word!) Abba, Father, show me what it means to be embraced by a true mother. . *LOVE the Word™ exercises vary weekly according to the four personalities, or "prayer forms," explored in Prayer and Temperament, by Chester Michael and Marie Norrisey: Ignatian, Augustinian, Franciscan, and Thomistic. These prayer forms correspond to the Myers-Briggs personality types. Episode Resources How to Really Love Your Child, the book I reference in this week's video Here's the private Facebook discussion page for the Healing the Father Wound series, if you want to join in the conversation with a little more privacy, as I do.
