Ep 198 Self Seeking vs. God Seeking
For thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I, even I, will both search my sheep, and seek them out. (Ezekiel 34:11)1/ My sheep - God's people .2/ The two things God will do for his sheep - Search them & Seek them out .3/ As seen in the lives of his sheep recorded in Scripture .
How do we prove we KNOW God?Knowing God is not important… If God doesn't exist. What if his existence is the most important thing that matters?The point is clear… we must know God!But how can we really know that we know Him?• 1 John 2:3-6 (NIV)Test #1: Do I obey God's commands?• 1 John 3:23 (NIV)Person 1 = Someone who falsely claims to know God.Person 2 = Someone who truly knows and obeys God.Obedience is tied to knowing and loving God.When we continuously obey God's word, we will draw nearer toHim. We will love Him more… we will know Him more!How did Jesus walk/obey?• Believing and trusting God• Worshipping and praying to God• Fellowshipping and communing with God/Others• Giving and sacrificing everything to God• Seeking and following after God• Teaching and telling others about God• Loving and caring for others• Laying down his life for others• Obeying all of God's commandsNeed Prayer?
Psalm 27 is recited during the month of elul in Ashkenazi congregations. From a place of absolute security in God, the Psalmist finds himself unmoored, insecure and distant from Hashem. How will he find his way back?

This week Pastor Alan is sharing about upcoming events for the month of May and a New Sermon : What is God Seeking?
Transcript:Hello, this is Pastor Don of Christ Redeemer Church. Welcome to The Kingdom Perspective.“Seeking God” is one of those bottom-line imperatives of the Bible. We are called to “seek first His kingdom and His righteousness.” We are to be like King David who cried out:One thing have I asked of the Lord, that will I seek after:that I may dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of my life,to gaze upon the beauty of the Lord and to inquire in his temple. (Psalm 27:4)But how exactly do we do that? Well, we get a clue in the Old Testament book of 2 Chronicles. The kings and the people of Judah were continually failing to seek God, and repeatedly there was one critical element that correlated with that failure. They failed to seek God, because they failed to treasure His Word—God's Law.So, for example, in 2 Chronicles 12:14 we are told that King Rehoboam “did evil, because he did not set his heart to seek the Lord.” Note carefully: why did he do evil? “BECAUSE he did not set his heart to seek the Lord.”And how exactly did he fail to do this? Well, just a few verses earlier, the chronicler tells us that he failed because he had previously neglected God's Word, His Law. Listen:“When the kingdom of Rehoboam was established and strong, he and all Israel with him abandoned the Law of the Lord….” (2 Chronicles 12:1)Note carefully, abandoning of the Law of the Lord is equated with abandoning God Himself.Now, if you think about it, this only makes sense. How do you seek to be in relationship with anyone? Well, first of all, you must listen and take seriously what they say. If you want to be in relationship with God, then you must take seriously what He says. You cannot seek God, if you do not seek His Word. To reject his Word is to reject Him.Something to think about from The Kingdom Perspective.2 Chronicles 12 (NASB)1 When the kingdom of Rehoboam was established and strong, he and all Israel with him abandoned the Law of the Lord….13 So King Rehoboam became powerful in Jerusalem and reigned there. For Rehoboam was forty-one years old when he began to reign, and he reigned for seventeen years in Jerusalem, the city which the Lord had chosen from all the tribes of Israel, to put His name there. And his mother's name was Naamah the Ammonitess. 14 But he did evil because he did not set his heart to seek the Lord.
Some rare, 'practical advice' on the pathless-path for you ❤️ Take what resonates, leave what doesn't! If you're running into closed door after closed door... if you've been sending out application after application with no luck, then take it as a clear sign that you are being led to what and where you can't imagine yet! You're being led to what's outside of the box. Get quiet every day for a period and ask what you are to do next... without words... just sit in the Silence... very alert... chant if you feel distracted and then from this Silence, send the emails, send off the applications, etc. COME UP WITH THE COMPANIES OR BUSINESSES YOU WANT TO WORK FOR OR PARTNER WITH AND FIND THE CEO, AND EMAIL THEM DIRECTLY. I'M SHOUTING BECAUSE THIS OFTEN WORKS! Shoot your shot! I recommend Linked in of course but also RocketReach for folks (of which these will be) that aren't in your network. Google the name of the CEO (or SVPs, etc), figure out the email format, then send them a paragraph (nothing more) with a succinct and powerful subject line... whether they are 'hiring' or not. Keep applying the traditional way, too, but carve out some 'time' for this! If this excites you, act on it! Once you get the email written you can then send it out to 'others'. And the more you send the more ideas for emails you'll get. And you do all of this from Love, in the atmosphere of God, in His Name. You may send out 200 emails and get back 5 no's (but now you're on their radar), and 1 open door. You may get no interest at all, but you SPENT THAT 'INBETWEEN' TIME FEELING HOPEFUL AND POWERFUL AND EXCITED INSTEAD OF SAD AND LOW AND DOWN. :) What's for you is already for you, it's already Here.... but until you can see It, you can either be anxious or Be Love. This 'activity' relieves the tension of 'waiting'. It helps you better practice and feel Love in the 'meantime' until you can remember that there is no 'meantime' it's all SHOWTIME! You've got to show up, and sit up, and breathe. You've got to feel Love where that body appears to be. Love has never failed you and It won't start now. I'm talking to YOU. I Love you and I'm with you. You got this because He's got you. TRUST DEEPER. Nik p.s. if it helps, remember that this is the part in the movie of 'you' where the job hunt is in full swing... nail biting... sitting on the edge of the seat to watch yourself land the opportunity that's been waiting on you since before the movie started, since before it was filmed! The writer is GoOD! *pops popcorn*

A longform exchange between Jason and myself in which we try to understand the necessity and nature of the Incarnation. 1 Corinthians 8:6, NASB: "yet for us there is only one God, the Father, from whom are all things, and we exist for Him; and one Lord, Jesus Christ, by whom are all things, and we exist through Him."

“I like your Christ, I do not like your Christians. Your Christians are so unlike your Christ." - Mahatma Gandhi
[the ever advancing technologies that this generation has grown up with] “have made it possible to communicate in ever more extensive and complex ways. But they have also facilitated lifestyles where people are in touch with conversation partners on the other side of the planet, but not with next-door neighbors; where insurance lies in investments and pensions, rather than in friendships and extended families; and where face-to-face human interactions ceasing to become the encounter of choice for a generation who are used to having plentiful alternative ways to make themselves known to one another. The flipside of making ourselves more independent and self-sufficient is that we are simultaneously becoming more isolated and more alone. ... If you see the central quest of life as overcoming isolation, rather than morality, your notion of mission will change accordingly” - Samuel Wells, from the Nazareth Manifesto
“Evidence of the presence of the Kingdom of God is thick wherever and whenever people stand on the promise of God that there is more to this world—more to this life—than what we see. There is more than the getting over, getting by, or getting mine. There is more than the brokenness, the destruction, and the despair that threaten to wash over us like the waters of the deep. There is a vision of a world where God cuts through the chaos, where God speaks and there is light. There is a vision where there is protection and where love is binding every relationship together.” - Lisa Sharon Harper
God is active and present in the world. We are invited to join in the work that God is doing.

Week five of our Sacred Wandering series | John 1:1-5, 14 | Bill White & Brenna Rubio
Written about 100 B.C in Greek by an Alexandrian (Egypt) “Deuterocanonical” ... Attributed to Solomon (Pseudepigrapha) Written to counteract the Hellenistic ideas (False Gods, etc) that were popular in Egypt at the time. Written to show that Jewish traditions had superior wisdom. “New” idea for Jews – Divine Retribution is not always on THIS earth, suffering on this earth does not presuppose a sin. The soul lives on, though still uncertain as to how. Childlessness not a punishment (3:13) Ch 2:12-20 Some see as a prophecy of Christ's passion. (Mt 27:41-44) Ch 5: Judgement, heaven, hell Ch's 10-19: The author shows the superiority of the Hebrew God over other gods by giving examples of how God delivered His people throughout history, especially the exodus experience, God has always stood by those who trust Him and they will be rewarded. (at least in the life to come!) We receive wisdom by praying for it. (Ch 7:7) Much is said about idolatry (Ch's 13:10 – 15:17). The idols will pass, as will our own material possessions today. The wisdom of following God is all that will remain. Developing a daily discipline is a gift of wisdom: to pray, study, perform acts of service. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/catholicbiblestudy/support
