Off the Kirb Ministries gives a short Christian message on feeling like a failure and helpless and on grown Christian men who cry.

Blueprints set a STANDARD How it should be When blueprints aren't followed, disaster happens   That's what this series is about… Blueprints God's design for church and family God is a God of design Psalm 8:3-4 3 When I observe your heavens, the work of your fingers, the moon and the stars, which you set in place, 4 what is a human being that you remember him, a son of man that you look after him? A MAJOR THEME in the story the Bible is telling is:   Let's first define Family: A family consists of people, usually related, with shared values that provide safety, guidance, accountability, respect, and forgiveness.   Let's build a BIBLICAL THEME of Family… 1: God planned and placed the family at the beginning of creation Genesis 2:24 This is why a man leaves his father and mother and bonds with his wife, and they become one flesh. 2: God designed the family for human flourishing Genesis 1:28 God blessed them, and God said to them, “Be fruitful, multiply, fill the earth, and subdue it. Rule the fish of the sea, the birds of the sky, and every creature that crawls on the earth.” 3: The enemy of God hates family Genesis 4 8 Cain said to his brother Abel, “Let's go out to the field.” And while they were in the field, Cain attacked his brother Abel and killed him. 9 Then the Lord said to Cain, “Where is your brother Abel?” “I don't know,” he replied. “Am I my brother's guardian?” The enemy always tries to mimic and distort to eventually destroy anything g that God has created for our good 4: God has chosen to redeem the world through a family Genesis 12 12 The Lord said to Abram: Go from your land, your relatives, and your father's house to the land that I will show you. 2 I will make you into a great nation, I will bless you, I will make your name great, and you will be a blessing. 3 I will bless those who bless you, I will curse anyone who treats you with contempt, and all the peoples on earth will be blessed through you.   What does all this mean? To God, Family is a BIG DEAL His blueprint for human flourishing and happiness is through Family Some Examples: Father vs. Absent Fathers According to the U.S. Census Bureau, 17.8 million children, nearly 1 in 4, live without a biological, step, or adoptive father in the home. No father: Research shows that when a child is raised in a father-absent home, they are affected in the following ways… Greater Risk of Poverty More Likely to Have Behavioral Problems Greater Risk of Infant Mortality More Likely to Go to Prison More Likely to Commit Crime More Likely to Become Pregnant as a Teen More Likely to Face Abuse and Neglect More Likely to Abuse Drugs and Alcohol More Likely to Suffer Obesity More Likely to Drop Out of School Kids: Children with involved fathers have a strong foundation for child well-being. They are at lower risk for… Infant Mortality Low Birth Weight Emotional and Behavioral Problems Neglect and Abuse Injury Obesity Poor School Performance Teen Pregnancy Incarceration as Juveniles Alcohol and Substance Abuse Criminal Activity Suicide Mom: Mothers with active fathers in the home… More likely to receive prenatal care Less likely to smoke during pregnancy Healthier births Lower risk of post-partum stress & depression Lower parenting stress More leisure time Higher marital satisfaction (All info taken from https://www.fatherhood.org) Healthy Families lead to HUMAN FLOURISHING   Why? Because it's God's blueprint I don't think anyone has a problem with this, but it is INCOMPLETE in scripture's view of FAMILY…   5: Jesus has come, and not only is our savior but also our BROTHER Hebrews 2 11 For the one who sanctifies and those who are sanctified all have one Father. That is why Jesus is not ashamed to call them brothers and sisters, 12 saying: I will proclaim your name to my brothers and sisters; I will sing hymns to you in the congregation. Because we belong to Christ, we belong to his family 6: The church is a family and the Bride of Christ Ephesians 5 22 Wives, submit to your husbands as to the Lord, 23 because the husband is the head of the wife as Christ is the head of the church. He is the Savior of the body. 24 Now as the church submits to Christ, so also wives are to submit to their husbands in everything. 25 Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ loved the church and gave himself for her 26 to make her holy, cleansing her with the washing of water by the word. 31 For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife, and the two will become one flesh. 32 This mystery is profound, but I am talking about Christ and the church. God has EXPANDED the understanding of FAMILY Not just “DAD, MOM, KIDS The Bible doesn't have a category for that Sermon Title: More than Blood Here's where there is trouble for us… Family as an INDIVIDUAL INSTITUTION Me and mine vs you and yours Instead, it is US/WE Personal Family is important, and so is the FAMILY OF FAITH Christian Family Church Family The Reality We will spend eternity with our FAITH FAMILY, not necessarily our BLOOD relatives God's family is MORE THAN BLOOD   How did this work out in the New Testament?   Summarization of the Reason for the letter: Written to Philemon by Paul A resident of Colosse (Colossians) He held church as his house He had a Slave named Onesimus (oh NESS in muss) Onesimus stole money and ran away Met Paul and became a Christian   Listen for the “family language” Philemon 1 1 Paul, a prisoner of Christ Jesus, and Timothy our brother: To Philemon our dear friend and coworker, 2 to Apphia our sister, to Archippus our fellow soldier, and to the church that meets in your home. 3 Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ. 4 I always thank my God when I mention you in my prayers, 5 because I hear of your love for all the saints and the faith that you have in the Lord Jesus. 6 I pray that your participation in the faith may become effective through knowing every good thing that is in us for the glory of Christ. 7 For I have great joy and encouragement from your love, because the hearts of the saints have been refreshed through you, brother. 8 For this reason, although I have great boldness in Christ to command you to do what is right, 9 I appeal to you, instead, on the basis of love. I, Paul, as an elderly man and now also as a prisoner of Christ Jesus, 10 appeal to you for my son, Onesimus. I became his father while I was in chains. 11 Once he was useless to you, but now he is useful both to you and to me. 12 I am sending him back to you—I am sending my very own heart. 13 I wanted to keep him with me, so that in my imprisonment for the gospel he might serve me in your place. 14 But I didn't want to do anything without your consent, so that your good deed might not be out of obligation, but of your own free will. 15 For perhaps this is why he was separated from you for a brief time, so that you might get him back permanently, 16 no longer as a slave, but more than a slave—as a dearly loved brother. He is especially so to me, but how much more to you, both in the flesh and in the Lord. 17 So if you consider me a partner, welcome him as you would me. 18 And if he has wronged you in any way, or owes you anything, charge that to my account. 19 I, Paul, write this with my own hand: I will repay it—not to mention to you that you owe me even your very self. 20 Yes, brother, may I benefit from you in the Lord; refresh my heart in Christ. 21 Since I am confident of your obedience, I am writing to you, knowing that you will do even more than I say.   God's plan is still the same…. To redeem the world through family Through those who are a part of His REDEEMED family   What should we take away from this? 1: Family is a BIG DEAL to God We should make it a big deal in our lives, too We treat it with respect 2: God's vision for the world is a RENEWED FAMILY With Christ as our king 3: You and your family flourish MOST when a part of God's REDEEMED FAMILY Your family flourishes through its activity in the church family Single Older – no kids   You no longer need to feel lonely because you have a LARGE family You no longer need to feel threatened because you are a family that protects You have a part to play because everyone takes part in a healthy family

The Bible often uses metaphors of strenuous physical activity to describe the Christian life: running, racing, boxing, fighting, and other similar expressions.

A message by Allen McClellan June 9, 2019 cd19.06.09 SCRIPTURE READING “(26) If anyone comes to Me and does not hate his father and mother, wife and children, brothers and sisters, yes, and his own life also, he cannot be My disciple. (27) And whoever does not bear his cross and come after Me cannot be My disciple. (28) For which of you, intending to build a tower does not sit down first and count the cost, whether he has enough to finish it—(29) lest, after he has laid the foundation, and is not able to finish, all who see it begin to mock him, (30) saying, ‘This man began to build and was not able to finish.’ (31) Or what king, going to make war against another king, does not sit down first and consider whether he is able with ten thousand to meet him who comes against him with twenty thousand? (32) Or else, while the other is still a great way off, he sends a delegation and asks conditions of peace. (33) So likewise, whoever of you does not forsake all that he has cannot be My disciple.” Lk.14:26-33 (NKJV) 1. Why should we accommodate LUKEWARM Christianity? ______________________________________________________________________________ 2. Why should we call people to BELIEVE in Christ without COMMITTING to Christ? ______________________________________________________________________________ 3. What will it take to make us DESPERATE for God? ______________________________________________________________________________ SMALL GROUP DISCUSSION QUESTIONS: • The theme of this message is lukewarm Christianity and how a church should respond to this dilemma in times of uncertainty! 1. What got my attention in this message regarding lukewarm Christianity? 2. Read (Lk.14:25-33). Were the requirements to follow Jesus in discipleship high? Why do I think Jesus set the bar so high? Who would most likely be discouraged by such requirements? 3. Did Jesus really mean He wanted me to hate my family? Cross reference this passage with (Matt.10:37). What is Jesus really saying? 4. How would I define a lukewarm Christian? Listen to how these men of God define lukewarm Christianity: • Francis Chan: “As I see it, a lukewarm Christian is an oxymoron (a figure of speech in which contradictory terms appear in conjunction), there is no such thing. To put it plainly, church-goers who are lukewarm are not Christians. We will not see them in heaven.” • J.C.Ryle: “The person who can take deep interest in politics, or sports, or money making, but none in the conversion of souls is no true Christian. They are dead and must be made alive. They are lost and must be found. • Richard Wurmbrand: “It must be understood that there are no nominal, half-hearted Christians in Russia or China. The price Christians pay is far to great. The next point to remember is that persecution has always produced a better Christian- a witnessing Chrisitan, a soul winning Christian. Communist persecution has backfired and produced serious, dedicated Christians such as rarely seen in free lands. These people cannot understand how anyone can be a Christian and not want to win every soul they meet.” 5. Look up (Rev.3:16). How did Jesus view lukewarm professing Christians. Will we see them in heaven. What was His answer to this dilemma (see v.18)?

As humans, our tendency is to look at a person's actions, but Jesus sees the heart. What does this mean for us as human beings, and what implications does it have for the Christian? Listen as Pastor Chad Stuart brings the fourth message in the Peculiar Living series, titled "The Heart of the Matter."

As we've learned from Pastor Chad Stuart in a previous sermon, obedience is not a four-letter word. But this begs the question: what role does obedience play in the life of the Christian? Listen as Pastor Chad addresses the tension between obedience and knowledge using a parable told by Jesus in this message, titled "Believe. Obey. Mature."

In the church we have this saying that goes like this, "Keep Christ in Christmas." But what if that's the wrong focus?

We sing songs like "Power in the Blood." There is definitely power in Jesus. But think about this: is it possible to have Jesus without the power? Can you be a saved, yet powerless, Christian? Listen as Pastor Chad Stuart delivers a powerful and timely message, "I'm a Christian, Where's My Super Power?"

Do you feel you’re being picked on because you’re a Christian? Listen to this lesson to see that Christians are an object of persecution and this persecution is growing in our country. See that there are many parts of our culture that are opposed to anything relating to God. Learn that our example on how to handle this is how Christ handled His persecution. Find out that the Apostle Peter told people that it’s better to be persecuted for doing what’s right, rather than for doing what’s wrong, reminding them of the time when he had denied Christ. See that now is the time to get prepared for coming waves of persecution.

In James 5:16, The King James Version translates James' promises that "the effectual, fervent prayer of a righteous man avails much". In a more modern translation it is given as "The prayer of a righteous man is powerful and effective", another says "The effective and passionate prayer of the righteous works" yet most followers of Christ would not honestly describe their personal prayer life as being "powerful" or "effective" and even fewer might say that they feel it "works"; so is James wrong or are we missing something? If Jesus tells His followers in the Sermon on the Mount that we now have his righteousness and that the powerful Holy Spirit is now dwelling inside of us, why is prayer so difficult and why do many Christians not feel their prayers are effective? Is it the way we pray, the amount of time we prayer or maybe it is the words we use? In the middle of his teaching in the Sermon on the Mount, Jesus slips in what many consider to be the greatest model of prayer ever given. We call it the Lord's Prayer and most believers can quote it but do we really understand the power behind the words? Do we understand the purpose of how they are arranged and used? Do we realize that this simple, yet economical prayer holds the keys to unlocking a passionate and effective prayer life for every Christian? Listen in as we examine our own prayer lives in light of Jesus' powerful example. From Matthew 6:5-15.
