Speaker: Pastor Mark Hutchinson
Abraham called his servant to himself charged him to go and get a wife for Isaac from among distant family members with 10 camels, clothing, and gifts in tow, he came near to the destination, prayed a specific prayer to God When God responded exactly as he had requested - the servant responded with worship.…
If you lived a little and journeyed a while with God, you might have come to realize that God has His own ways that often appear to run counter to ours. Hard times come. Our prayers get answered, but in ways we never anticipated. God goes “off script”, as our guest today would say. In this episode we talk about the idea of having a relationship with a God who not only allows suffering, but journeys with us in that suffering. We don't like it. But learning to embrace all of who God is allows us to live more free and wholeheartedly. What does it look like to doubt well? Can God handle our wrestling? When God doesn't show up "on time" is he still good? This conversation is for any leader who is facing the underbelly of their own faith as they lead others or those who are going through hard times and want a message that brings life, and doesn't leave you more deflated. Today's guest is Albert Tate, the founding and lead pastor of Fellowship Church in Los Angeles County California. He began his ministry pastoring just a few families at Sweet Home Church in Mississippi before serving the historic multi ethnic and multi-generational Lake Avenue Church in Pasadena, California. As a dynamic communicator, Albert is passionate about sharing the Gospel of Jesus Christ both locally and globally. He serves on the Board of Trustees at Azusa Pacific University, the Global Leadership Network, and Global Church Planting Organization, Stadia. Albert is also the Founder and CEO of The Greatest Story, Inc, and President of Harambee Ministries. His first book was entitled, “How We Love Matters: A Call to Practice Relentless Racial Reconciliation.” Albert is the proud father of four children: Zoe, Bethany, Isaac, and Micah. His latest book, "Disobedient God: Trusting a God Who Goes Off-Script" is one for every library.

As humans, sometimes we love labels don't we? And I'm not just talking about the designer kind. We can put our identity and confidence in labels related to our relationships (wife), status (head of), job (doctor), side hustle (stylist), bank account (gazillionaire) — just a few (random) examples! It's natural perhaps but what happens when God — who writes the best adventures — shakes things up? Asks us to go from our version of fishermen to travelling preachers? Will we say yes? This week, a testimony and followed by three prayer prompts to seek God about: 1) Are there any labels that we're chasing because of selfish ambition? 2) What labels does he want us to hold onto in this season? 3) How can we learn to be more loving of the labels God is giving us this season and not compare – either with others or our past or future selves? *** Follow along for daily encouragement!

Message brought by Pastor Trevor Estes.
Romans 3:9 // Well then, are we [Jews] better off than they? Not at all; for we have already charged that both Jews and Greeks (Gentiles) are under the control of sin and subject to its power. Romans 3:19 // Now we know that whatever the Law [of Moses] says, it speaks to those who are under the Law, so that [the excuses of] every mouth may be silenced [from protesting] and that all the world may be held accountable to God [and subject to His judgment]. Romans 3:20-26 // For no person will be justified [freed of guilt and declared righteous] in His sight by [trying to do] the works of the Law. For through the Law we become conscious of sin [and the recognition of sin directs us toward repentance, but provides no remedy for sin]. BUT NOW But now the righteousness of God has been clearly revealed [independently and completely] apart from the Law, though it is [actually] confirmed by the Law and the [words and writings of the] Prophets. This righteousness of God comes THROUGH FAITH in Jesus Christ for all those [Jew or Gentile] who believe [and trust in Him and acknowledge Him as God's Son]. There is no distinction, since all have sinned and continually fall short of the glory of God, and are being justified [declared free of the guilt of sin, made acceptable to God, and granted eternal life] as a gift by His [precious, undeserved] grace, through the redemption [the payment for our sin] which is [provided] in Christ Jesus, whom God displayed publicly [before the eyes of the world] as a [life-giving] sacrifice of atonement and reconciliation (propitiation) by His blood [to be received] through faith. This was to demonstrate His righteousness [which demands punishment for sin], because in His forbearance [His deliberate restraint] He passed over the sins previously committed [before Jesus' crucifixion]. It was to demonstrate His righteousness at the present time, so that He would be just and the One who justifies those who have FAITH in Jesus [and rely confidently on Him as Savior]. Only those who know what it is to be lost can fully appreciate what it means to be found BUT NOW Romans 3:23 // For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God Romans 1:25 //. …they traded the truth of God for a lie 3 key words: JUSTIFICATION REDEMPTION PROPITIATION Justification: the action of declaring or making righteous in the sight of God. Romans 3:24 // …and are being justified [declared free of the guilt of sin, made acceptable to God, and granted eternal life] as a gift by His [precious, undeserved] grace, through the redemption [the payment for our sin] which is [provided] in Christ Jesus. Justification = Acquittal AND Acceptance Acquittal means we're not guilty Acceptance means we are accepted Acquittal means we've been saved from hell Acceptance means we've been made a child of God When God looks at you he sees the righteousness of His son. Redemption-deliverance or release by the payment of a price Romans 3:24b // …justified by his grace as a gift, through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus Our ransom has been paid by the precious blood of Jesus Mark 10:45 // For even the Son of Man came not to be served but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many Propitiation-averting the wrath of God by the offering of a gift Hebrews 2:17 // Therefore he had to be made like his brothers in every respect, so that he might become a merciful and faithful high priest in the service of God, to make propitiation for the sins of the people 1 John 2:2 // He [Jesus Christ] is the propitiation for our sins, and not for ours only but also for the sins of the whole world 1 John 4:10 // In this is love, not that we have loved God but that he loved us and sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins NOW WHAT? How does this glorious reality become ours today? Not by works, but by FAITH Romans 3:22 // This righteousness is given THROUGH FAITH in Jesus Christ to all who believe Romans 3:25 // The blessings of propitiation are to be received BY FAITH Romans 3:26 // God is shown to be just and the justifier of the one who has FAITH in Jesus Romans 3:28 // For we hold that one is justified BY FAITH apart from works of the law Ephesians 2:8-9 // For it is by grace [God's remarkable compassion and favor drawing you to Christ] that you have been saved [actually delivered from judgment and given eternal life] THROUGH FAITH. And this [salvation] is not of yourselves [not through your own effort], but it is the [undeserved, gracious] gift of God; 9 not as a result of [your] works [nor your attempts to keep the Law], so that no one will [be able to] boast or take credit in any way [for his salvation].

Are you in alignment with the call that God has on your life? If not, how do you make that adjustment? Learning from a conversation that Jeremiah had with God, you will discover that when God gives you an assignment, you can become aligned with that assignment and successfully fulfill it. Key Points: - Identity is always crucial with assignment from God - When God gives you an assignment, you cannot afford to allow fear to attach. - God is faithful to watch over His promises. - The ability to break off anything that hinders you is not based on your feelings; it entirely depends on who God is. Scripture: Jeremiah 1:5-12 For additional information, visit: Ruthhendrickson.org Related Content: Mashah: Emotional Healing and Deliverance| God is calling His bride into wholeness. He longs for her to honestly know the truth of who He has created her to be. All of us, male and female, need to deal with the trauma and wounding we have received throughout life. We need to deal with the beliefs that do not align with the Word of God and find freedom. Unforgiveness, resentment, and bitterness cannot be our future because we are called to blessing, changing history, and soaring on eagle's wings.

This final message in our series on Hearing God is filled with practical advice on how to respond to God's voice. Ps. Kelsey Shepardson encourages us to respond to God's voice with trust, obedience, and worship. In doing so, you'll find that 'religion' will never be the same for you.

When God calls you, will you be ready to accept it and rise to the occasion?
God is always speaking, and as followers of Jesus, we need to learn how to recognize his voice. In this practical message, Ps. Ike Shepardson explains that the key to discerning God’s voice is to think about what he’s already said. This means thinking biblically.

This week, Anna reflects on the decluttering, throwing out and moving things around that happens with moving house and asks how we might apply this to our spiritual lives and our connection with God too. Rachel answers a question about what to do when we pray for God to make something better and the prayer isn't immediately answered in the way that we expect. In our wildcard section, Simon Parry from Allstar Kids Club, shares about living by faith as a family and how to frame and share with our kids about our finances.
Joseph's life will teach us that everything that happens in our lives takes place within God's providential care. Even the evil that we experience. We are cared for even when we might not feel like we are. God will direct our steps, and no evil event is beyond the hidden hand of a loving and gracious God.In this 20-message series, Dr. John Neufeld examines the life of Joseph, who by all accounts did not have an easy life. But despite his trials, at the end of his life, Joseph was able to say that God intended all of it for good and with a greater purpose. By studying the life of Joseph, it becomes clear that we are under the protection of a loving and faithful God who has bigger things in store for us than we could ever imagine.
It is important to surround yourself with people who will encourage you, rejoice in what God does, and remember what God has done. In this sermon, we discuss the lies that the enemy tells us when we are waiting on God. Speaker: Joel Sanchez
What do we do when it feels like God shows up late and we wait on Him?
What do we do when God says no?
