This Sunday, Pastor Zohary Ross closed out our 5-week sermon series, Come Holy Spirit, with a powerful message on what it means to be a Spirit-filled church: a community that lives in step with, empowered by, and expectant of the Holy Spirit. Preaching from Acts 2, she invited us to examine our hearts and consider: Are we truly devoted to God above all else? Do we gather with a holy anticipation that God will move among us? Zohary RossApril 13, 2025Acts 2:42-47Come Holy Spiritwww.newnorth.church

Daily Dose of Hope April 28, 2025 Day 1 of Week 5   Scripture - Mark 10:17-52   Prayer:  Dear Lord, After a hurried weekend, sometimes we rush into the week.  Help us slow down and focus on you.  Help us set aside our scattered thoughts and distractions.  Help us have laser focus on you and your Word.  Lord, in these next few moments of silence, we yearn to hear your still small voice...Come Holy Spirit and guide our reading, our interpretation, and our thoughts.  In Your Name, Amen.   Welcome back to the Daily Dose of Hope, a Deep Dive into the Gospels and Acts.  We are finishing up Mark 10 today.  We might call this the chapter of Jesus saying a lot of hard things.  Let's get started.   The first part of today's text is familiar to many of us.  A man comes to Jesus and asks, “What must I do to inherit eternal life?”  Jesus says, “Well you need to follow all the commandments.”  He lists them, you shall not murder, commit adultery, steal, or give false testimony.  You shall honor your father and mother.  Then, he adds one - you shall not defraud.  This wasn't in the ten commandments, possibly Jesus added it because many of the wealthy were wealthy because they had taken advantage of the poor.  If that was the case with this man, we don't know.   The man simply says, “Yes, I've done all those things since I was a boy.”  Then, Scripture says, “Jesus looked at him and loved him.”  The word for love used here, in the Greek, is the highest form of love in the New Testament, meaning love that characterizes God.  There must have been something really rare and admirable about the man, because this is the only place this form of love is used in Mark.  Because he loved the man, Jesus looks at him and says there is still one thing you lack.     It was assumed that if one followed the law perfectly (we know that's impossible but if one did a good job following the law) then they would receive eternal life. Jesus is saying, that is not the case.  Jesus isn't denying that this man is following the law.  This is obviously a man of high integrity who is clearly doing all he can to be obedient to God's laws.  “One thing you lack,” Jesus said.  “Go, sell everything you have and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven. Then come, follow me.”    The text says that the man's face fell. He went away sad because he had great wealth. This is the irony. The children in the former story (we read this on Friday) who possess nothing are told that the kingdom of God is theirs; yet this man who possesses everything still lacks something!  Only when he sells all he has—only when he becomes like a vulnerable child—will he possess everything.  But he isn't willing to do that.  He decides to walk away from Jesus. The man wasn't expecting to have to make that kind of sacrifice.  He had no idea following Jesus would be so hard.    The disciples are really confused by this.  At that time, most people believed that being wealthy was a sign of God's blessing.  Jesus is saying that this man has to sell everything and give it to the poor.  And that's when Jesus says the really, really hard thing...it's easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the Kingdom of Heaven.  They ask, “Then who possibly can be saved?” Jesus says, “With man this is impossible, but not with God; all things are possible with God.”    Most of us should feel at least slightly uncomfortable when we read this passage. Don't dismiss that feeling, rest in it a bit before you move on.  The reality is that we are all wealthy in comparison to the rest of the world.  Jesus isn't saying that having possessions is a bad thing.  I want to be clear that he is NOT holding poverty up as a value.  But, with many of us, our resources do get in the way of us fully committing our lives to Jesus.   Full submission is hard for those of us who have much.  We also don't have to rely on Jesus in the same way that someone who is desperately poor has to rely on Jesus.  Our refrigerators are full – we aren't pleading with Jesus for our next meal.  It is different.   What does it mean to be a follower of Jesus?  I think we have so often fallen into the trap of thinking that following Jesus, being a disciple, is about following a list of rules: following commandments, generally being a good person, going to church, giving some money to good causes, and doing good “Christian” things.  But here Jesus is saying that being a disciple is not about following a list of rules.  If that were the case, then the rich young ruler would have been a shoo-in.  Jesus is saying, following him is about denying yourself and picking up your cross.  We just talked about this, how we don't like to deny ourselves. We don't like to be uncomfortable.  I mean, this means looking at our lives and renouncing any part that gets in our walk with Jesus.   Following Jesus isn't simply one activity in a busy life filled with lots of great stuff.  No, following Jesus means radically reorienting our life.  Jesus comes first and our devotion to Jesus as Lord and Savior affects every other area of our lives.  Our dedication to Jesus affects how we treat other people, it affects how we spend our money, it affects how we spend our time, it affects how we behave.  Following Jesus means a radical adjustment to priorities.    What is it that keeps you from fully following Jesus?  What part of your life have you not yet submitted to him?  What do you need to renounce in order to submit your whole life to Christ?   We could stop there and it would be enough but this chapter holds even more truth.  Next, we have Jesus predicting his death for the third time.  While the disciples might not have understood, Jesus was pretty clear that he would be rejected by the chief priests, condemned, executed, and he would rise three days later.  I think the disciples heard what they wanted to hear.  They wanted Jesus to set up an earthly kingdom in which the Romans would be overthrown.  They wanted to sit on a throne.  They didn't want to hear what was really going to happen.  They didn't want to think about the kind of Messiah Jesus really was.  They wanted him to be who they wanted him to be.    You can see how their expectations are kind of warped with the next element in the text.  James and John are asking to sit next to Jesus, to his left and right, when they arrived in glory.  Again, they just don't get it.  They can't get status and earthly kingdoms out of their heads.  To be fair, it was all they understood.  They had it in their head that things would be one way, the way the Jews always expected them to be.  Jesus was turning things upside down.  It won't be until after the resurrection that things will begin to fall into place for them.   How often have our expectations of Jesus been different than who Jesus truly is?  We spoke about this in yesterday's message.  How often do we want counselor Jesus, patriotic Jesus, pacifist Jesus, judgmental Jesus, champion Jesus, or even militant Jesus?  So often, we make Jesus into our own image rather than being formed into his image.  Jesus is not like us.  He is God.  His values and thinking are far different from ours and we might not always like that.  He is going to challenge our American values and norms.  He is going to stretch us in ways we might not want to be stretched.  That is kind of what is going on with the disciples.  They are getting challenged and it's really hard.   The final part of the text today is the healing of blind Bartimaeus.  Jesus is walking through Jericho and Bartimaeus calls out to him.  He is determined for Jesus to hear him, even though the people around him are rebuking him and telling him to be quiet.  But Jesus hears him.  “What do you want me to do for you?” Jesus asks him.    Bartimaeus replied that he wanted to see and Jesus heals him, telling him that his faith had made him well.  There are two things I want to point out about this text.  First, Jesus heard him.  Jesus heard a poor, desperate, blind man on the side of the road in the middle of a huge crowd.  Jesus hears his people.  Jesus hears YOU.   Second, just as he asked Bartimaeus, he also asks you, “What do you want me to do for you?”  What do you want Jesus to do for you.  Take a few moments now to spend some time in prayer.  Try to picture having a conversation with Jesus, just the two of you.  Tell him exactly what you need from him right now.  Be honest, be sincere.  This is just you and him.   Blessings, Pastor Vicki

Daily Dose of Hope April 15, 2025 Day 2 of Week 3   Scripture – Mark 6:14-29   Prayer:  Almighty God, I come before you today with a sense of gratefulness.  You are Lord of all and yet you care for me.  Thank you, Lord.  Help me walk through this day with humility and your wisdom; help me represent you well.  Lord, in these next few moments of silence, help me gather my scattered thoughts, I want to hear your voice...Come Holy Spirit, and guide this time.  In Your Name, Amen.   Welcome back, everyone, to the Daily Dose of Hope, a Deep Dive into the Gospels and Acts.  Today is day two of three in Mark 6 and our focus is shifting back to John the Baptist.   Our section starts with King Herod asking about Jesus, who was gaining quite a bit of fame in the area.  One person answered that he might be John the Baptist reincarnated.  This gets Herod concerned, as he had John executed not long before.    Let's talk briefly about the Herods.  These were political figures appointed by the Roman government to oversee Judea.  Most people consider them very insecure puppet kings.  They did what the Romans wanted and in return got to keep their power and wealth.  While they considered themselves to be Jewish, they really were not and they certainly didn't behave they obedient Jews, which certainly did not endear them to the “real” Jewish residents.  Just for some context, Herod the Great was the ruler at the time of Jesus' birth (remember the one who ordered all the male babies to be killed in Bethlehem?)  He was an extremely violent king and is said to have killed his wife, her two sons, and anyone he perceived as a threat.  Not a nice guy.  His own son, Herod Antipas, is the one in today's Scripture.    This Herod had decided to divorce his own wife to marry his brother Philip's wife, Herodias.  It was quite a messy family situation.  Philip was still alive and Herodias was both Herod Agrippa's and Philip's niece.  Basically, Herod was trampling all over God's laws and John the Baptist had called him out on it.  Herod could have easily executed John because he spoke out against the marriage, but he chose not to do so.  Herod keeps John in prison but alive. It seemed that Herod actually had a lot of respect for John because he considered him a righteous man of God.   But Herodias, the wife/niece, was a different story.  She hated John for the way he spoke out.  So she bided her time until she was able to get her revenge.  The time came when at Herod's birthday party.  Herodias' daughter performed some kind of very seductive dance for the guests (keep in mind the dysfunction of this family).  In return for her provocative dance, a probably fairly drunk and lustful Herod offers the daughter anything she wants.  She asks her mother what to ask for and Herodias knows this is her opportunity to get rid of John the Baptist.  Herodias instructs the girl to ask for John the Baptist's head on a platter.  Herod was distressed at this, as he did admire John, but he felt the need to honor the very public request.  He sends the executioner to the prison and John is beheaded immediately.    The brutality of this narrative is a bit shocking.  Because Jesus was a man of peace, I think we sometimes forget how violent the Roman world was at that time.  The Romans, and in turn, the Herods, ruled with an iron fist.  They had perfected the art of frequent execution.  Keep in mind, there was no due process.  People could be killed or tortured for just about anything.  There was political tension, frequent uprisings, heavy taxation, and people were jailed for not being able to pay their fair share.  There was desperate poverty and the poor faced incredible hardships.    It was into this world that Jesus came.  You can see why the people were so ready for his message.  But is our world any different?    I'm going to close today with John 16:33.  These are the words of Jesus, “I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world.”   Blessings, Pastor Vicki  

Daily Dose of Hope April 14, 2025 Day 1 of Week 3   Scripture - Mark 6:1-13   Prayer: Dear Heavenly Father, We give you glory for the beginning of Holy Week.  Prepare our hearts as we move toward Easter Sunday.  Lord, right now, help us put aside the distractions of our lives and focus on you.  In these next few moments of silence, help us gather our scattered thoughts and remember to be still and know that you are God...Come Holy Spirit, and speak to us today.  We love you, Amen.   Welcome to the Daily Dose of Hope, a Deep Dive into the Gospels and Acts.  Today, we start Mark 6 where we will discuss Jesus' lack of miracles in Nazareth and the sending out of the disciples.   Let's start with what happened in Jesus' hometown of Nazareth.  It starts out well enough.  He teaches in the synagogue and the people were amazed.  It makes me think of Mark 1 when the people were surprised at how Jesus taught with authority, unlike the teachers of the law.  But then these hometown residents begin to ask questions: Isn't this Jesus who lives around the corner?  Isn't he a carpenter?  Isn't this Mary's son, whose sisters are here with us?  Basically, who does he think he is?  We know his background.  We know he isn't anything special.   Jesus makes the statement that a prophet is not without honor except in his hometown.  Notice the double negative; I'm not sure why it is worded this way but I am sure Jesus has a reason; he is making a point.  A prophet is honored except where he is known well.  All over the region people were hearing and believing Jesus' message.  He was doing all kinds of miracles.  But when he begins to do the same in Nazareth, he is met with contempt.  This means that Jesus' extended family, his family friends, and those who knew him best refused to believe in him.  I would imagine how this must have been heart-breaking for Jesus.    Because of their lack of faith, the Scripture states he was only able to do a few miracles.  Let's touch briefly on the connection between miracles and faith.  As we read through the Gospels, we see that Jesus' healing authority is strongly connected to the faith of the individual being healed.  Last week, we read about the woman who had been bleeding for twelve years and Jesus said her faith had made her well.  In Mark 10, we will read about blind man in Jericho who asked Jesus to heal his sight, and Jesus specifically said to the man that his faith had healed him.    At the same time, we know that faith is not a prerequisite for miracles.  If Jesus wants to do a miracle, he is God so he can do a miracle.  He doesn't need the faith of others to do it. Think of the feeding of the 5,000 – the disciples doubted and Jesus still performed a miracle of abundance.  Jesus later walks on water without the faith of those around him.    Matthew's Gospel uses different language (Matthew 13), saying that Jesus did not do many miracles in Nazareth because of their lack of faith.  This leads me to surmise that Jesus chose not to do miracles in his hometown.  He could have forced the issue but he decided not to.  He didn't have anything to prove to these people.    While the Nazareth hometown folks are unbelieving, the next portion of the narrative shows that many other people were believing.  The mission would continue regardless of the Nazareth naysayers.  Jesus sends out his disciples, armed with his power and authority.  They go from village to village preaching and doing miracles.  They were to live simply and accept hospitality where it was offered.  Where it wasn't offered, they were not to get upset but keep moving.  The end result was repentance and all kinds of healing.    I can't help but thinking that just as Jesus sent out the twelve to preach the Gospel and perform miracles, he sends us out as well.  If we know Jesus, he has empowered us to continue his mission.  So often, we shy away from this.  Maybe we worry about rejection; we aren't really that great at shaking the dust off our feet.  Maybe we worry about our own needs.  We don't live simply, nor do we often make the time to do this kind of work.    Are you continuing the mission of Jesus?  Take a moment and pray about this.  How might Jesus be calling you to do more?  How is Jesus sending you out?  So often, we cling to the comfort of the Gospel but neglect the challenge of it.    Let's close today with Matthew 16:24-26, Then Jesus told his disciples, “If anyone would come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross and follow me. 25 For whoever would save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for my sake will find it. 26 For what will it profit a man if he gains the whole world and forfeits his soul? Or what shall a man give in return for his soul?   Blessings, Pastor Vicki

Daily Dose of Hope April 8, 2025 Day 2 of Week 2   Scripture - Mark 4:1-34   Prayer:  Father God, hear our prayer this morning.  We are awed by your power and strength.  We are amazed by your love.  Thank you, Lord, for the many ways you show in our lives to teach us and care for us.  Help us gather our scattered thoughts right now and focus on you.  In these next few moments of silence, help us (help me) be still and know that you are God...Come Holy Spirit, and help us walk through this Scripture in a way that honors you.  Show up and help us discover whatever it is you want us to learn.  This is your Word and we want to hear from you.  In Your powerful name, Amen.   Welcome to the Daily Dose of Hope, Deep Dive into the Gospels and Acts. Today, we will be starting Mark 4 and unpacking some pretty powerful parables and three of four are about seeds.  Why seeds?  I'm guessing it's because seeds are something an agrarian society would understand.  But we also soon learn that the Kingdom is similar to a simple seed, seemingly small and fragile but growing into a lush plant that is massive and strong, itself producing more and more seeds.   Most of Jesus' big teachings were given in parables. If you think about a parable, Jesus is taking something pretty ordinary, like a seed, and using it to make a statement about divine activity.  All of these parables were used to give a glimpse of God's Kingdom.  In each parable, Jesus describes a different aspect of the Kingdom.  No one parable can capture what it looks like to live under the reign of God, but together, we get a pretty good picture.    The first parable we read today was the parable of the Sower.  Jesus says that a farmer goes out to sow seeds.  But the farmer doesn't worry so much about where he is throwing the seeds. He actually seems to be pretty indiscriminate with his seed-throwing.  He is literally just throwing seed everywhere.  Some of the seed falls right on the path, where all the people walked and the soil was hard and had been packed down.  The birds ate most of that seed.  Some of the seed fell in rocky places (there are lots of rocky places in that part of the world) and while it would sprout, the soil was shallow, and there wasn't enough root for the plant to survive.  Some fell among thorns, and the thorns were invasive and took over. The plants had no real chance of survival there.  But then some seeds fell on good soil, which produced an amazing crop – many, many times what was sown (30, 60, or even 100 times).    Jesus seems kind of annoyed that the disciples did not understand.  He seems to know that the crowds would struggle, but the disciples?  They were supposed to get it.  I kind of feel sorry for the disciples.  While some of the parables seem straightforward, others are truly hard.  I wouldn't have gotten a lot of it.  Luckily, we have the advantage of two thousand years of discussion and writings about these parables.  This was turning the disciples' worldview upside down.   Back to the Sower – here we get one glimpse of the Kingdom.  What is Jesus trying to teach us?  First, I think it's important for us to not dwell on the different kinds of soils too much.  I think one of our first temptations is to go, I know someone who is like that soil, and then that group of people are like this soil, and so forth.  Let's not go there.  I want us to focus on the star of the story.  Who is the star?  Well, the farmer is or the one who is sowing the seed.  He throws that seed everywhere–he is generous with the seed, throwing it everywhere there is any chance it might take root.  Friends, we are the Sowers.  We are the ones called to throw seed. What's the seed we are supposed to be throwing around?   Well, the Good News of Jesus Christ of course.    Jesus is calling us to sow extravagantly.  We aren't supposed to decide who to share our faith with.  No, we are truly to share our faith, in word and deed, with everyone. This is so important.  We aren't just supposed to share Jesus with those in our congregation, with our friends who are “safe.”  We are supposed to be kind of reckless, sharing the love of Jesus Christ, sharing our faith story, telling people the source of our hope, with all kinds of people: people who don't look like us, people who we don't know and people we do know.  If God has brought us to a certain place, a certain store, a certain vacation spot, a certain meeting---we trust that there is a greater purpose.   Another thing we learn is that God gives up on no one and neither should we.  We just keep sowing.  As the sower, we truly have the desire for all the soil to bear fruit.  That's why we keep throwing those seeds, having those conversations, offering to pray for someone, telling people how much Jesus loves them.  God loves all people, we are called to love all people.  Remember that love of God and love of others cannot be separated. They are intricately linked.   But we have to recognize that some soil has had people trample on it. It has not been nourished, it might be filled with rocks.  It may take years to get to the point in which the soil can bear fruit. I read that to gets soil just right, really nourished, it can take years.  And it usually means continuing to add nourishment to it, continuing to add things to it to develop it and enrich it so that it can be fruitful.  People are no different. We love on people, we pray for them, we tell them Jesus loves them.  We listen to their stories. We ask questions. And this could go on for years.  But we don't give up on anyone because God doesn't give up on anyone.  We trust that God is at work in ways we can't see or understand. We trust that God is working behind the scenes to nourish the fields, to strengthen the roots.   Is there someone you have given up on?  Remember, God isn't done with any of us yet!   Then, there is the lamp on the stand.  It is meant to be out in the open where it can give light not hidden under a bowl or bed.  What is hidden is meant to be disclosed and brought out in the open.  Truth is not meant to be hidden.  The Gospel is meant to be brought out in the open and shared.  Another glimpse of the Kingdom.   Then, we have the parable of the growing seed.  A farmer scatters seed and it takes root and grows.  It grows whether he is awake or asleep, without him even knowing.  Nature just takes care of things.  Eventually, it is fully grown and the harvest is ready so he takes a sickle to it.  The Kingdom of God grows and spreads kind of mysteriously without human effort.    And then we come to the mustard seed parable and we get another glimpse of the Kingdom.  The mustard seed was the smallest of the garden seeds but it produced a huge bush.  You see, in God's Kingdom, small things can yield really big results.  A mustard seed has power far, far larger than its size.  God's economy is different.  We see this with the feeding of the 5,000 and the widow's mite.  God takes small things, including our small investments or contributions, and he multiplies them for his Kingdom.   Let's close with Paul's prayer to the Ephesians, chapter 3, verses 16-21,  I pray that out of his glorious riches he may strengthen you with power through his Spirit in your inner being, 17 so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith. And I pray that you, being rooted and established in love, 18 may have power, together with all the Lord's holy people, to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ, 19 and to know this love that surpasses knowledge—that you may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God. 20 Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us, 21 to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, for ever and ever! Amen. Blessings, Pastor Vicki

We All Are Filled with Something. The Jesus Follower is Filled with the Holy Spirit! MESSAGE SUMMARY: If you believe that Christianity is just a bunch of rules and laws for you (all of which you cannot keep!), then you really do not know what Christianity is all about. Jesus Followers are filled with the Holy Spirit. All of us are filled with something. With what are you filled? The Apostle Peter, in 1 Peter 4:5-6, admonishes you to be faithful to the Gospel and to live in the Spirit like God: “but they will give account to him who is ready to judge the living and the dead. For this is why the gospel was preached even to those who are dead, that though judged in the flesh the way people are, they might live in the spirit the way God does.". Some people are filled with the world or the devil or alcohol or drugs or materialism or their jobs or just themselves. You need to be filled with the Holy Spirit. As you walk with the Holy Spirit, Paul instructs in Ephesians 5:15-17 to make wise use of our limited time on earth and to seek God's will through the Holy Spirit: “Look carefully then how you walk, not as unwise but as wise, making the best use of the time, because the days are evil. Therefore do not be foolish, but understand what the will of the Lord is.". Come Holy Spirit; fill us with your presence and power. Are you filled with the Holy Spirit? If not, why not?   TODAY'S PRAYER: Father, I confess that when difficulties and trials come into my life, large or small, I mostly grumble and complain. I realize the trials James talks about are not necessarily “walls,” but they are difficult to bear, nonetheless. Fill me with such a vision of a transformed life, O God, that I might actually consider it “pure joy” when you bring trials my way. I believe, Lord. Help my unbelief. In Jesus' name, amen.         Scazzero, Peter. Emotionally Healthy Spirituality Day by Day (p. 94). Zondervan. Kindle Edition. TODAY'S AFFIRMATION: Today, because I am filled with the Holy Spirit, I will not be controlled by my Self-Centeredness. Rather, I will walk in the Spirit's fruit of Love. “The fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control.” (Galatians 5:22f).

Friends of the Rosary,In today's gospel reading (Matthew 5:20-26), Jesus says, “Go first, be reconciled to your brother.” He calls for a virtue deeper than the virtue of the scribes and the Pharisees, a virtue more radical than the one promoted by the Jewish Law.Jesus was concerned about human behavior, deep-seated emotions, and underlying attitudes that can eventually lead to killing. He prohibits anger, not the anger that is part of our emotional life, but the nurturing of anger that can lead to destructive action. The first act of killing mentioned in the Bible, Cain's killing of Abel, was sprung from anger, as he was angry with his brother.Jesus wants to renew the human heart, knowing that renewal can give rise to a new way of living that conforms to God's will for our lives.The Holy Spirit who lives within us can truly change our hearts. It's the ultimate source of the deeper virtue. Each day, we need to keep praying, “Come Holy Spirit, fill my heart, renew my heart.”Then, the face of the earth will begin to be renewed.Ave Maria!Jesus, I Trust In You!Come, Holy Spirit, come!To Jesus through Mary!+ Mikel Amigot | RosaryNetwork.com, New YorkEnhance your faith with the new Holy Rosary University app:Apple iOS | New!

Through this disease the Lord has been working in his heart in powerful ways. On the podcast today he shares his story of finally letting the Lord in and surrendering his heart to Jesus. He also talks about the wild ride that the Holy Spirit has taken him on, once he learned to trust the Spirit. This is a powerful story that will inspire you to trust in the Spirit as well.

We All Are Filled with Something. The Jesus Follower is Filled with the Holy Spirit! MESSAGE SUMMARY: If you believe that Christianity is just a bunch of rules and laws for you (all of which you cannot keep!), then you really do not know what Christianity is all about. Jesus Followers are filled with the Holy Spirit. All of us are filled with something. With what are you filled? The Apostle Peter, in 1 Peter 4:5-6, admonishes you to be faithful to the Gospel and to live in the Spirit like God: “but they will give account to him who is ready to judge the living and the dead. For this is why the gospel was preached even to those who are dead, that though judged in the flesh the way people are, they might live in the spirit the way God does.". Some people are filled with the world or the devil or alcohol or drugs or materialism or their jobs or just themselves. You need to be filled with the Holy Spirit. As you walk with the Holy Spirit, Paul instructs in Ephesians 5:15-17 to make wise use of our limited time on earth and to seek God's will through the Holy Spirit: “Look carefully then how you walk, not as unwise but as wise, making the best use of the time, because the days are evil. Therefore do not be foolish, but understand what the will of the Lord is.". Come Holy Spirit; fill us with your presence and power. Are you filled with the Holy Spirit? If not, why not?     TODAY'S PRAYER: Father, I confess that when difficulties and trials come into my life, large or small, I mostly grumble and complain. I realize the trials James talks about are not necessarily “walls,” but they are difficult to bear, nonetheless. Fill me with such a vision of a transformed life, O God, that I might actually consider it “pure joy” when you bring trials my way. I believe, Lord. Help my unbelief. In Jesus' name, amen.         Scazzero, Peter. Emotionally Healthy Spirituality Day by Day (p. 94). Zondervan. Kindle Edition. TODAY'S AFFIRMATION: Today, because I am filled with the Holy Spirit, I will not be controlled by my Compulsions. Rather, I will walk in the Spirit's fruit of Patience. “The fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control.” (Galatians 5:22f).

In our latest House Fires sermon series video, Austin explores the transformative power of Spirit-assisted prayer. He will dive into Romans 8:18-28 showing how the Holy Spirit helps us in our weakness, especially when we face suffering and don't know how to pray. In this video we will unpack three forms of Spirit-assisted prayer: speaking in tongues, travailing in intercession, and praying for our enemies. If you've ever felt stuck in your prayer life or overwhelmed by the world's problems, this message is for you. Join us in learning how we can become "housefires" of prayer, igniting change in our communities and beyond.
