Today's episode, we explore Dr. Hormoz Shariat's remarkable journey from a devout Shia Muslim during the 1979 Iranian Revolution to becoming a leading Christian evangelist. Often called the "Billy Graham of Iran," Dr. Shariat shares how his initial dissatisfaction with Islam and his wife's conversion to Christianity led him to embrace the gospel, eventually founding Iran Alive Ministries. We'll discuss the impact of his satellite TV ministry, bringing Christian teachings into millions of Iranian homes despite government restrictions. We'll also touch on the broader religious awakening in Iran, the complex geopolitical landscape, and biblical prophecies relating to Iran and Israel. Join us for an insightful conversation about faith, transformation, and the powerful role of the gospel in changing lives and societies. Tune in for an episode filled with inspiration and hope.

It tells the tales of 20 different interesting and innovative people that either made a mark in Northeast Louisiana or the world. It's definitely a gem for any native northeast Louisiana to have.

March 5, 2023 - What in the World is God Doing? Things around us seem to be spinning faster and out of control. The world's governments and cultures are in rapid transformation and the Lord's Church appears to be in decline. We don't know who to trust or how to adjust. We can be forgiven if we want to ask God, “What in the world are you doing?” Dan Bouchelle, the executive director of Missions Resource Network, will show us that God's Church is not in decline, it is experiencing a thrilling global transformation. And God's people in Midland still have an exciting role to play. For more information on GCR, visit our website at www.gcrchurch.com or download our app.
We continue in our series “What on Earth is God Doing?” This month in Part 7 "Seeing Jesus through the Larger Lens" we find that too often we get locked into seeing Jesus from our own smaller perspective: “Jesus is my personal savior who died on the cross so I can go to heaven when I die.” This reductionistic view of Jesus prevents us from seeing Him as he really is…as the Larger Story of God presents him and invites us to see him. Seeing Jesus through the lens of God's Larger Story not only will change our perspective of Him, but it will also give us a larger, transcendent framework from which to see ourselves and understand our own smaller story.To find out more about our mission to offer men hope and direction in a confusing world through Jesus Christ, or to learn more about our ministry please visit us at https://ahm4.life

It doesn't take a rocket scientist to see that something dark and sinister is happening today right in front of our very eyes. Truth has collapsed. Morality has been overturned. Once trusted social institutions are unashamedly corrupt. Western Civilization, informed by Christianity, is being systematically dismantled by powerful forces for the crime of being oppressive, intolerant, bigoted, and hateful. Everything “good and right” is now being condemned as “bad and wrong”—including all who still dare hold to creational reality.As Christian men, we rightly ask: Where is God in all this? Why is He allowing this to happen? Are these the “Last days'” or just an intensification of “this present evil day?” More importantly, how should we as men respond to the spiritual battle raging around us?If these are the questions you have been asking, please join us in our series, “What on Earth is God Doing?” as we seek to answer these questions from the context of God's Larger Story. We think this series will be biblically enlightening, spiritually refreshing and personally encouraging as its purpose is to help men better understand how they can actively participate with God in this current spiritual battle in a more thoughtful and effective way.When we think of the story of Jesus our mind naturally goes to the Cross. The Bible tells us that Jesus, the unique Son of God, came to earth to die in our place on the Cross so that through faith in Him our sin could be forgiven, and we could be made fully at Home with God as His adopted sons. Yet when we read Jesus' story in the context of God's Larger Cosmic War Story, we quickly discover that there's much more to Jesus than the Cross and there's much more to the Cross than the forgiveness of our sin.

Lead Pastor, Pat Mulcahy continues our sermon series, "Family Matters — What's God Doing?".
Introduction What in the World is God Doing? Genesis 1-3, Revelation 19-22 September 11, 2022 I.Introduction: A. This morning starts our fall series we are calling people of promise! It will answer the question What in the word is God doing? 1. We will answer that question not out of the context of frustration because we cannot understand it, 2. But out of the context of a sure hope that we can have as an anchor for our souls during the most difficult times of our lives and world! B. I can honestly say that this series was born in my heart back in the spring of 1985, my last semester of seminary, when I was taking a class from Doctor Dwight Pentecost called the biblical covenants. 1. I went into that class having no idea what a covenant was and also after three years of bible college and four and one half years of seminary I had learned literally hundreds upon hundreds of verses and truths but had no idea of how they fit together or even more so flow together into a unit forming the big story of what God is doing in this world. 2. I left that class looking at God and the Bible totally differently C. We are calling it people of promise because 1. A covenant is the means by which God has bound himself to do the things he has promised! 2. In the covenants God's big overarching plan by means of promises are revealed 3. The better we understand the ultimate story of what God is doing, then the better we understand our own lives and times we live in! D. Many people shy away from the Old Testament because they either feel it does not apply to us today or they are so lost in it they cannot figure out what is going on. 1. By the end of this series, you will be equipped with the knowledge to go into the Old Testament with confidence regarding what is going on there and recognizing it really is the foundation to the New Testament. Thus, you will not only better understand the Old Testament but the New Testament as well. 2. Prophecy is simply what God has told us he will do in the future! When it comes to the end times people try to piece together hundreds of verses in the Old and New Testament so it can make sense to them. a. We will learn in this series that the hundreds of verses on prophecy are simply the ways God is going to fulfill his covenant promises that he made to Israel which we join into through Jesus! b. We will see that the prophecies have their roots in the covenants so when the covenants make sense to us then the prophecies will make sense to us! c. Hopefully it will be like taking a 1,000-piece puzzle and turning into about a 20-piece puzzle E. So why a series on the covenants? - listen to these men who recently went through this material as a test drive for this series tell us how it impacted them: • Let's jump right in II. The nature of a story A. Structure of a story- 1. Put up image a. Setting– introduction to the scene and characters – e.g., “once upon a time…” b. Incident – something happens that needs to be resolved c. Plot – a series of events that unfold as they try to resolve the incident d. Climax – the key event that resolves the incident e. Outcome – tension decreases, and the incident is resolved or explained f. Resolution – learn something new or a new way of carrying on from here. “And they lived happily ever after…” B. Are you following me now? Well, God's story as revealed in the Bible story works the same way 1. Structure of the Bible story image 2. Explain image • Let me try to III. Spaceship view of the story A. I believe the story is driven by three key words – seed, covenant, Jesus. 1. Next week we will learn more about the seed which speaks either of a family line of people or a certain person from that line 2. The following week and weeks to come we will learn more about the covenants – a covenant is the means by which God binds himself to do the promises he makes! B. We learn a lot about a story by looking at the start of the story and the end of a story. In the Bible 1. Start - setting – God creates a perfect heaven and earth, and mankind (male and female) where he dwells with them in paradise, and they are to reign over all his creation. There is peace/shalom between God and man, peace within man himself, peace between man and woman, and peace with mankind and the earth. Paradise has no: sin, Satan, curse or death Genesis 1-2 2. End - resolution – God creates a perfect new heaven and earth where he dwells with man who reigns forever and ever over all his new creation. There will be peace/shalom between God and man, peace within man himself, peace between man and woman, and peace with mankind and the new earth. Paradise has no: sin, Satan, curse or death Revelation 21-22 C. My statement, the PBP statement of what God is doing in this world is a story of redemption: God glorifying himself through Jesus, the seed, by restoring his original plan for mankind and the earth where God himself reigns forever as king over a people who love him with all their heart, soul, mind and strength. 1. Or simply “God's redemption of man through Jesus Christ!” 2. Or as one brother (Mike) said just a few weeks to me “paradise restored!” • Let's get a little closer in an airplane view 30,000 ft above. IV. Airplane view of the story – A. Just listen and I would encourage you to download the notes as this is literally decades of study squeezed into just a few paragraphs with many bible references to support it. (thank - Joel Brassfield for his contributions to this) B. The setting (paradise) – God dwelling with man as man reigns over his creation and there is perfect shalom/peace and no sin sin, Satan, curse or death. Genesis 1-2 C. Incident or conflict (the fall & the seed promise) – Satan deceived the woman and they fell into sin (fall), as a result sin entered into the world (Romans 5:12). Man became separated from God as he died spiritually and God put a curse upon Satan, woman, man and the world. Satan became the god of this world (2 Corinthians 4:4). There would be hostility between “thy seed,” ungodly line and “her seed,” the godly line. There would also be hostility between Jesus, the seed, and Satan until the seed/Messiah/Jesus Christ comes and crushes Satan. (Genesis 3:15) D. Plot (the whole “I will…” section with covenants) - man struggles with sin, Satan and the curse on every page of the Bible from Genesis 3 until Revelation 21 1. God develops the godly line/seed of the woman through Able, Seth, Noah and Shem to Abraham and the ungodly line through Cain, Ham & Japheth from whom come the nations that were in conflict/hostility with Israel throughout the Old Testament. 2. God made a covenant with Abraham where he promised Abraham - a land, seed (i.e., a nation), blessing and that God would be their god. The seed is now further defined. It first broadly applied to Eve's godly offspring, but now it is narrowed down to being from the line of Abraham, and that it would be both a collective people (Israel – Genesis12:2, 22:17) and a specific person (Jesus – Genesis 22:18, Galatians 3:16) through whom all the nations of the world would be blessed (Romans 4:11-17, Galatians 3:8- 9,14). 3. God gave Israel the Mosaic Covenant to regulate Israel's relationship with God until the seed comes (Galatians 3:19). Obey God and you will be blessed (lev 26:3-13), disobey him and you will be disciplined/cursed (Leviticus 26:14-33). Because of Israel's continued disobedience to the Mosaic Law the Old Testament is a story of Israel's repeatedly being disciplined and repenting and ultimately being deported from their own land (Leviticus 26:27-39, Deuteronomy 28:64-68; 29:24-28). The prophets repeatedly use the Mosaic Covenant to point out their sin and call them to repentance so they can be restored to God's promised blessings (2 Kings 17:13-15, 23)! 4. Deuteronomy/land covenant – guarantees that Israel eventually will repent, be regenerated and restored to the land in blessing. 5. God makes a covenant with David where he–promises that the seed will come from his line and will be a forever king who will rule forever over a forever kingdom. We then see a line of mostly failed kingships from David's line as the nation waits for the promised king who would be the seed of David. 6. In the Old Testament, God foretold of a new covenant with Israel – where he promises to forgive Israel, give them a new heart, place his Spirit in them to cause them to walk in obedience (Jeremiah 31:31-34, Ezekiel 36:24-27) and bless them in the land (Ezekiel 36:28-38, Deuteronomy 30:1-10) as the Davidic seed rules over them (Luke 1:33) and all the world (Zechariah 9:9-10, 14:9, Ephesians 1:20-21). E. Climax (Jesus the seed)– in Matthew 1:1, the New Testament starts by telling us that Jesus was the seed, the Christ, the Messiah, the seed who came from the line of David and Abraham and gives a genealogy to prove it. Jesus proclaims he is the seed of David, the King, the Messiah/Christ and he proves it by performing the kind of miracles that the Christ will perform in his kingdom. He lives a perfect sinless life, and dies (in our place) to pay for our sins, he is raised from the dead to give us a brand new eternal righteous life, then ascends to heaven to sit at the right hand of God until he comes back to fulfill all the promises the Old Testament prophets made about the period of restoration. (Acts 3:19- 21) F. Outcome (church through millennium) – sin, Satan, the curse and death are still present, but the back of their power is broken. 1. The church is born made up of all nations, both Jew and Gentiles who believe in Jesus (Ephesians 2:11-22). Their sins are forgiven, they receive a new heart and the Holy Spirit dwells inside of every believer. They are now God's people through whom he works his purposes out on earth (Matthew 28:18-20, Acts 1:8, 2nd Corinthians 5:18-20). 2. Believers are in Christ (1st Corinthians 1:30), the seed, and now are Abraham's seed who partake in the covenants of promise made to Israel (Ephesians 2:12-19 - spiritual blessings now and material blessings later when Jesus returns) based upon a faith like Abraham's (Romans 4:11- 17) and their relationship with Jesus, the seed, to whom the promises were also spoken. (Galatians 3:16, 29) 3. Believers will be raptured out of this world as God disciplines unbelieving Israel and judges the nations for a seven-year period. (Jacob's trouble, tribulation) 4. Satan makes war with the Lamb and his saints at the end of this time as all the world is gathered together against Israel (Zechariah 14:2, 12:3-9, Revelation16:13-16; 17:12- 14) 5. Jesus returns and defeats Satan and binds him for 1,000 years (Revelation 19:19-21, 20:2-3) while he sets up a kingdom here on earth (Revelation 20:4-5) to fulfill his covenant promises with Israel and all the Old Testament prophecies about the period of restoration. (Acts 3:19-21) 6. At the end of that kingdom Satan will be loosed (Revelation 20:7) one more time to spear head one final war where he will be defeated and thrown into the lake of fire (Revelation 20:10). Thus, the seed of woman crushed the head of Satan! 7. The present heaven and earth are destroyed by fire at the presence of the great white throne (Revelation 20:11, 2 Peter 3:7-10) 8. Great white throne judgment – anyone's name not written in the book of life was thrown into the lake of fire. (Revelation 20:15). G. Resolution (paradise restored) - then we are back to the new normal, where God creates a new heaven and earth! “Paradise restored!” God dwelling with man as man reigns over his new creation and there is perfect shalom/peace and no sin, Satan, curse or death. Revelation 21-22 V. Closing A. Josh and Joel will close us up by letting us know of some of the opportunities that we have to make this series even more beneficial for us!

It doesn't take a rocket scientist to see that something dark and sinister is happening today right in front of our very eyes. Truth has collapsed. Morality has been overturned. Once trusted social institutions are unashamedly corrupt. Western Civilization, informed by Christianity, is being systematically dismantled by powerful forces for the crime of being oppressive, intolerant, bigoted, and hateful. Everything “good and right” is now being condemned as “bad and wrong”—including all who still dare hold to creational reality.As Christian men, we rightly ask: Where is God in all this? Why is He allowing this to happen? Are these the “Last days'” or just an intensification of “this present evil day?” More importantly, how should we as men respond to the spiritual battle raging around us?If these are the questions you have been asking, please join us for our new four-part series, “What on Earth is God Doing?” as we seek to answer these questions from the context of God's Larger Story. We think this series will be biblically enlightening, spiritually refreshing and personally encouraging as its purpose is to help men better understand how they can actively participate with God in this current spiritual battle in a more thoughtful and effective way.To find out more about our mission to offer men hope and direction in a confusing world through Jesus Christ, or to learn more about our ministry please visit us at https://ahm4.life

"What in the World is God Doing?", Acts 14, David Mingle, 5-2-21 by Grace Chapel PA
In this episode we conclude our series ’What is God Doing’ with Part 8. God had a comeback in store for Job all along, but Job’s suffering was purposeful. Learn how God has a comeback planned for your life.
In this episode, we continue our What is God Doing? Series with installment number 7. This episode discusses Job and his questions for God, and how we as followers of Christ sometimes need to be silent and listen to God.
In this episode, we’ll continue our What is God Doing? series, with the topic, “Seeing Through Suffering.” Job was able to see past his circumstances and still believe in a God who had his best interest at heart. We can do the same when we recognize that God’s plan for each and every one of us includes suffering in some form.
The Power of Intimacy with Christ | “What is God Doing in Me?” While I trying to communicate God's will for a life lived in intimacy with Christ, the Holy Spirit begin to catch me up in him to share with you the pursuit of intimate relationship with him. This episode centers on what God will work inside of you for his purpose. It is a call of God to your spirit for drawing you into union with his. I share, the absolute necessity to get into the lap of God and how we must sit there in sincerity with a deep hunger for relationship with him and out of that intertwining in the Spirit realm God reveals. It is a call to shut out everything else to hear God's voice and his will for your life. Finding your love language toward God is developed in the intimate place from an authentic surrendering of self. This leads to living in him and through his Spirit. This results in reaping the harvest of his love, grace, authority and anointing. Learning to give up fear and to really connect with God in the supernatural is essential to finding the ultimate call of God on your life. In this place we receive revelation for understanding what God is doing in us. You will take away from this episode, practices for getting into the secret place of the Most High and for discovering your Holy space in God.
Sending St Paul to be a missionary to the gentiles?! How crazy can that be? He was a perfect candidate to reach Jews; why would God send him to the gentiles? Well, that is just one example of how God does things we would never expect, and it is also a demonstration that God can … Continue reading What is God Doing?! →
In this episode, we’ll continue our What is God Doing? series by examining Job’s emotional honesty before God. God wants our grief, our sorrow, and our confusion—He doesn’t want us to pretend or hide it from Him. When Job finally speaks out after his tragedy, he is vulnerable and authentic before God, because he trusts God. We can do the same.

In the current world climate you may be asking yourself 'What's God Doing?' In this message one of our senior leaders, Matt Stephens, brings you an answer. Tune in and let God bring about a revival.
So what does that mean? What does it mean to "do justice"? What does it mean to "love kindness"? What does it mean to "walk humbly with your God"? Doing justice has to do with giving someone their due. What are the implications of this in our world today? How should we respond to the murder of George Floyd? And most importantly? What hope do we have that things will get better?
Covid19 Pandemic - hate - racisim - evil - non believing in God - Doing things my way no God in it. Only God can fix all of these things. Without having the mind of Jesus Christ who obeyed God and did things to please his father Almighty God.Man can put things in place to calm the storm, but because God was not in control it will come back and come back even more forceful than before. Until we pay attention to the word of God and obey it things want change, they may calm down for a period of time but it want completely change. Look at these words if my people which are called by my name would humble and pray, seek my face, turn from your wicked ways then God will hear from Heaven forgive the sins and heal the land. People read and heed to everything else but the word of God.God and his word is what will heal this America.

September 3 2019 Tuesday Look My Prayers For You Ephesians 1:15-23 NLT 'Ever since I first heard of your strong faith in the Lord Jesus and your love for God's people everywhere, I have not stopped thanking God for you. I pray for you constantly, asking God, the glorious Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, to give you spiritual wisdom and insight so that you might grow in your knowledge of God. I pray that your hearts will be flooded with light so that you can understand the confident hope he has given to those he called—his holy people who are his rich and glorious inheritance. I also pray that you will understand the incredible greatness of God's power for us who believe him. This is the same mighty power that raised Christ from the dead and seated him in the place of honor at God's right hand in the heavenly realms. Now he is far above any ruler or authority or power or leader or anything else—not only in this world but also in the world to come. God has put all things under the authority of Christ and has made him head over all things for the benefit of the church. And the church is his body; it is made full and complete by Christ, who fills all things everywhere with himself.' Ephesians 3:14-21 NLT 'When I think of all this, I fall to my knees and pray to the Father, the Creator of everything in heaven and on earth. I pray that from his glorious, unlimited resources he will empower you with inner strength through his Spirit. Then Christ will make his home in your hearts as you trust in him. Your roots will grow down into God's love and keep you strong. And may you have the power to understand, as all God's people should, how wide, how long, how high, and how deep his love is. May you experience the love of Christ, though it is too great to understand fully. Then you will be made complete with all the fullness of life and power that comes from God. Now all glory to God, who is able, through his mighty power at work within us, to accomplish infinitely more than we might ask or think. Glory to him in the church and in Christ Jesus through all generations forever and ever! Amen.'

This is the 2nd week of our new series, "Playing for Keeps," which looks at how we can invest in the relationships closest to us. Today we looked at how it takes Love over Time to give WORTH to the people were care about. _______________________________________________________ NOTES: Love is Everywhere Take music Tina Turner Video: "What's Love Got to Do With It" Take tv The Bachelor/ette _______________________________________________________ God’s Idea/Design From beginning God designs us for companionship For relationships and for community 1) We were created to love and be loved. Love is More than Emotion Requires time, commitment We can get so busy that we forget to make love a priority Can be intentional or unintentional _______________________________________________________ Making love a priority is something pharisees could/should have done. Pharisees Religious leaders who believed in God Spent much time learning about God Doing the workof God, obeying God's laws holding others accountableto it Doingwhat they thought mattered to God Always went to the Temple Cared about what others thought Tirelessly studiedScripture They were busy learning about God, they missed what mattered most. Missed what LOVE over TIME can do. Jesus reprioritized matters in just a few sentences … Matthew 22:34-40 (NIV) 34 Hearing that Jesus had silenced the Sadducees the Pharisees got together. 35 One of them, an expert in the law, tested him with this question: 36 “Teacher, which is the greatest commandment in the Law?” 37 Jesus replied: “‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.’38 This is the first and greatest commandment. 39 And the second is like it: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’ 40 All the Law and the Prophets hang on these two commandments. Great Commandment: Love Matters Love Matters Loving God matters Loving yourself matters Loving people matters And they all work together interdependently Great Commandment at Work Loving God helps you love yourself helps you love others. Loving yourself helps you love God. helps you love others. Loving others helps you love God. helps you love yourself. AND ALL are true at the same time. 2 ) When it comes to love, don’t minimize what God maximizes. Mt 22: 34-40 Jesus: Love Matters 3) Love over time is the best way to give somebody worth. _______________________________________________________ Self-Worth Don’t Underestimate Worth’s Importance Worth is crucial to our survival and well-being. Worth isn’t something that can be trivialized or overemphasized. Everybody needs to be loved in a way that convinces us that we are worth something. _______________________________________________________ Love in Two Forms: Conditional and Unconditional Article: Recognize Your Conditions of Worth Unconditional love: is when we are loved for who we are, no matter what we do. Conditional love is when we are loved for doing what other people want us to do. From the Article: In the ideal world all we would have is unconditional love, but in reality we are surrounded by conditional love, which we receive from the authority figures in our life - our carers, parents, teachers and religiouseducators, media and television. The child whose school report is poor and whose parents react with anger. The girl who is told constantly by her mother how proud she is of how pretty she is. The boy, whose coach shouts at him for missing a kick. All of these are ways in which children learn what they must do to be valued: to do well at school, to be beautiful or to be athletic, for example. Conditions of worth are the messages we take on board about what we have to do to be valued. ________________________________________________________ Pharisees (Conditional) vs Jesus (Unconditional) Conditional love is what the Pharisees offered. And it eroded others’ sense of worth. Unconditional love is what Jesus offered. and it breathed life into both individuals and communities. Eroded Sense of Worth Without worth, little belief in ourselves little hope that things will improve little power over our circumstances Achieving future possibilities depends on our feeling worthy of such achievement AND If LOVE over TIME generates worth … Converse of this statement is true: Little LOVE over TIME destroys worth. … AND Conditional love over time generates conditional worth. ________________________________________________________ APPLY How to Show Love Over Time? Romans 5:8 (NIV) 8 But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us. So How do we show love over time? Consistency, model good boundaries, grace/forgiveness, empathy, forgiveness Through Self-Sacrifice Playing for Keeps: LOVE Playing for Keeps is getting seriousabout what wedo with our time. When we PfK, we put LOVE over TIME Author and artist C. JoyBell quote: “They say you have to earn the right to be loved; no, love is unconditional, if you love someone, they don’t have to earn it. But. The right to tell someone that you love them? That has to be earned. You have to earn the right to be believed.”

If there was ever a person who had “it”, it was Moses, the friend of God. In this series, Pastor Smilie will help us understand all that goes into becoming people who, like Moses, have the “IT Factor” for successful Christian livingClick here to listen
What You'll Hear: Mark Driscoll was born in North Dakota and grew up in Seattle, WA. His Mom was a born again Catholic and loved Jesus but Mark did not. Mark's girlfriend gave him a Bible and he started reading it when he went to college. In his Freshman year, he was on a men's retreat on a walk by himself and God spoke to him audibly and told him to marry Grace, preach the Bible, train men, and plant churches. He's been married 26 years and they have 5 kids He pastors at Trinity Church in Scottsdale, AZ Don't chase signs and wonders, chase Jesus The Bible is the most widely translated, most widely published and least read book there is "I'm in the Bible every day because I like it" "I can hear from God through His Word any time I want" "You cannot consider one minute in God's Word as a wasted minute" "Jesus' life is admired by Christians and non-Christians, the question is can His life be experienced by God's people?" "Sometimes the Trinity is portrayed as the Father is the mean one, Jesus is the nice one and the Holy Spirit is the weird one... actually they live together in relationship and it's the Holy Spirit who empowers the life of Jesus" God wants us to appreciate the life of Jesus and to experience it There are several misconceptions about Jesus including that Jesus is an alien which keep us from modeling our lives after Jesus "Most people see Jesus as perfect but don't understand how He overcame temptation" Clark Kent pretended to be like us, but Jesus truly was like us "When you understand Jesus relates to you, it becomes a lot easier for you to relate to Jesus" Most of the creeds skip over Jesus' entire life. Jesus had to learn and grow because He set aside the continuous use of His divine attributes There's a difference between sin and trial and error Jesus experienced 12 different lanes of relationships as we do It's very important for us to forgive as Jesus did, it pushes the demonic out of your life Men have a performance mentality at their work God said He was pleased with Jesus before He did anything Our relationship with God starts with His approval and then we work from that not for that Work is worship. Jesus spent the first 30 years of His life swinging a hammer with His Dad. This was sacred work because He was doing the will of God Doing your job well is part of your ministry If we are faithful with the work that we do, God super-naturally open opportunities for us to share our faith Sometimes people are looking for our character before they want us to hear our testimony 2 Cor 5:21 is one of Mark's favorite verses See God as a relational father who loves and enjoys His children Contact www.markdriscoll.org for free Bible teaching
