Cobb County was placed under a tornado watch and wind advisory as a wall of thunderstorms swept across the Southeast on Thursday afternoon. The most significant damage occurred in Austell, according to Cobb County, where firefighters found at least 18 homes with damage. At least 14 homes were damaged enough that the Red Cross was brought in to assist residents. No significant injuries were been reported, the county said around 6:30 p.m., but assessments were still underway. Cobb DOT was still clearing downed trees countywide Thursday night, and as of 6:30 p.m. had cleared at least 25 roads and 11 flooded roadways. Also in Austell, a warehouse on Oak Ridge Parkway was severely damaged and had a wall collapse, according to the county. Residents were asked to report damage to the county. Cobb's wind advisory was in effect from 11 a.m. to 11 p.m. as gusts between 30 and 40 miles per hour were expected. The tornado watch, meanwhile, was in effect until 7 p.m. The National Weather Service expected isolated hail a few tornados in the area between Montgomery, Alabama, and Athens, including metro Atlanta. Dobbins Air Reserve Base will play host in the coming months to a high-altitude NASA research craft. The ER-2 aircraft will be flying out of the base until March 5, Dobbins announced this week. The ER-2 plane is a variant of the famous U-2 spy plane developed by Lockheed in the 1950s. It is used for civilian research missions, and operates at altitudes between 20,000 and 70,000 feet, per NASA. “These flights are sponsored by the Earth Science Division of NASA's Science Mission Directorate in Washington. The purpose of this mission is to track severe weather to measure properties such as wind, temperature, precipitation, humidity and aerosol profiles,” the base said in a news release. The base said while it will try to restrict flights to the hours between sunrise and sunset, but missions may occur during night time hours and on weekends. Chiefs running back and Sprayberry alum Jerick McKinnon closed out the final six weeks of the 2022 regular season in emphatic fashion, scoring a league-high nine total touchdowns in that span. It was only fitting that the NFL on Thursday recognized McKinnon as the AFC Offensive Player of the Month. McKinnon became the first running back since 1970 with a touchdown reception in at least five consecutive games, and his scoring binge was impressive. The streak started innocently enough, with a 2-yard touchdown catch in Week 13. And then his trips to the end zone kept coming, week after week. By the time the six-game stretch concluded, the 5-foot-9, 209-pound McKinnon had amassed eight touchdown catches and one rushing score. The Chiefs' all-purpose running back finished the regular season with 291 yards and a touchdown on 72 carries plus 512 yards and nine touchdowns on 56 catches. His 535 offensive snaps led all Chiefs running backs. Jerrick's Chiefs have a bye this weekend in NFL playoffs Wild Card round. If everything goes right next week in the divisional round, he could have a chance to play for the AFC championship in front of his home fans. Due to the Cincinnati Bengals-Buffalo Bills game on January the second being cancelled due to the collapse of Bills' safety Damar Hamlin, the NFL decided that if the AFC Championship game is between the Kansas City Chiefs and the Buffalo Bills, the game will be played in Atlanta at the Mercedes Benz Stadium, giving the teams a neutral field to play on for a trip to the Super Bowl.

The Emily Lembeck Early Learning Center, the Pre-K Center for Marietta City Schools, invites the community to learn more about the framework it uses for literacy and language development. The Community Scope and Sequence was created by the Emily Lembeck Early Learning Center and connects the Georgia Pre-K learning standards to a curriculum that builds and develops the “reading brain,” all based upon brain science. It has since been adopted by nine other early learning centers in the City of Marietta in correlation with the Literacy and Justice for All campaign, reaching a total of approximately 400 children. Each month there is a different focus on themes and “anchor” books that reinforce the themes. In February, young students will answer inquiry questions like: How does the world work? What do all living things need? and How are living things connected to each other and the Earth? February's anchor books are "Moonbear's Shadow" by Frank Asch, "The Little Engine that Could" by Watty Piper, "Rabbits and Raindrops" and "Raccoon on His Own" by Jim Arnosky. Families are encouraged to visit the public library or find the books at a local store. Suggested activities that families can do with their children to deepen their understanding and promote these themes and inquiry questions include: Find a sunny spot outside. Watch one's shadow change as the sun moves throughout the day. Stand in the same spot and trace one's shadow with chalk at 9 a.m., 11 a.m., 1 p.m. and 3 p.m. Then talk about what happened to the shadow and how it changed. Take a nature scavenger hunt and talk about the things that one finds and sees. Make a collage with the things one finds. Look for rocks to paint or decorate with fun and happy pictures or messages. Place them in public places to share with others. All of the early learning centers invite parents and caregivers in Marietta to follow along with the Community Scope and Sequence to encourage shared knowledge.

I asked Travis Troy, point-blank, what did it cost him to take his entire team to Vision this year. I talked to so many shop owners at Vision KC 2022 that closed their shops to take their entire team for some of the best training and networking both Technician, Service and Management. I stopped counting at 30 the number of shop owners who closed their shops there had to be 100 or more based on my simple survey results. Some strategies were to uplift and cross training their people into leadership roles by selecting that type of training. Travis and his partner Josh know they'll get a huge return on their training investment. The message: get out of your comfort zone.

The children's book, The Little Engine That Could was a very popular bedtime story at our home. It's a story about The Little Engine needing to get over the mountain with a lot of toys for the boys and girls. And, as a little injured begins to gather steam to get over the high mountain, it begins to say, I think I can. I think I can, I think I can. I think I can, I think again, saying it each time a little faster than before and up over the mountain, the little engine goes... I think I can, I think I can. I think, again, I think again... Well, I love the story, but... Well, it's not entirely biblical. There are two important differences between the Little Engine story and the Bible. First, the Little Engine says, I think I can, but the Bible says, I know I can. And the second important difference is that the little engine relies on its own power to get over the mountain, but you and I as believers in Jesus Christ, we have the power to get over any mountain before us. As followers of Jesus, we know that Jesus will give us all the strength and we need to do whatever He calls us to do, Jesus will give us whatever we need to face, whatever he calls us to face. I know, I can. ----more---- Download a transcript for the April 17, 2021, Selah episode **This transcript was generated by artificial intelligence and may not be 100% accurate.

This is Roald Tweet on Rock Island. At five in the afternoon on Washington's Birthday in 1854, a small locomotive gaily decorated in streamers and bunting pulled six bright yellow coaches into the Chicago and Rock Island Railroad passenger house in Rock Island where it was met with cheers and celebrations. Newspaper accounts made it seem like early versions of the Little Engine that Could, or even Walt Disney World.

In the last e extended episodes, we vibed a bit about letting go of negative perspectives, perceptions, thoughts, and beliefs about ourselves, starting with the one none of us like to admit. If we are thinking negatively about ourselves in any way, we are the problem with our problems. Until the next episode, believe what says about you. You are made in His Image. Feel that all the way, and go from there. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/karen-hope-weathers/support
2020 just keeps going deeper. Hurricanes are swirling, people are lacking strength of character, voting out of hate instead of logic, conformation bias, and a cringy Creepy Joe montage. Today's culture pretending like they've always said the PC thing.

We all gather 'Stories' that we tell ourselves on repeat. What stories we tell ourselves we believe. Whether it's "I'm Fat, I'm Ugly" to "I can do anything I set my mind to" to "Where there is a Will, there is a way." The power of the personal stories we carry with us through life has a very large influence on our mind-set. More importantly is auditing the stories our children observe us telling ourselves and us telling them. Apart from 'David vs Goliath', This is the earliest story that I have carried with me when I was a young boy: "The Little Engine that Could." A little railroad engine was employed about a station yard for such work as it was built for, pulling a few cars on and off the switches. One morning it was waiting for the next call when a long train of freight-cars asked a large engine in the roundhouse to take it over the hill. "I can't; that is too much a pull for me", said the great engine built for hard work. Then the train asked another engine, and another, only to hear excuses and be refused. In desperation, the train asked the little switch engine to draw it up the grade and down on the other side. "I think I can", puffed the little locomotive, and put itself in front of the great heavy train. As it went on the little engine kept bravely puffing faster and faster, "I think I can, I think I can, I think I can." As it neared the top of the grade, which had so discouraged the larger engines, it went more slowly. However, it still kept saying, "I—think—I—can, I—think—I—can." It reached the top by drawing on bravery and then went on down the grade, congratulating itself by saying, "I thought I could, I thought I could." --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/fathersfounders/message

I recorded this episode with Mikel Berger from Little Engine Ventures and another with Justin Turner from Traction Capital Partners to hear from investors on what’s going on in their companies today. I asked Mikel what he’s seeing in his portfolio companies, community, and what he’s been advising his companies to do. I hope this helps you when looking at your own businesses and sheds some light on what others are experiencing. Both Mikel and Justin have been on the podcast before and if you want learn more about them I recommend listening to those as well, which are episodes 4 and 10 of the podcast respectively. Also, I’m trying something new with this episode. If you have a follow-up question for Mikel you can ask via this Google Form I've created and they'll be answered in a later post.

This is the quintessential pep talk passage. It is most often used to pump up a spirit of achievement and even pride – like the Little Engine's, “I think I can!” What is the real context? Paul is here considering how God has enabled him, strengthened him to be content in times of plenty and times of shortage. Paul writes this from prison, and from the way the text has been abused, you might think it is positive self-talk to break out of jail. This isn't a passage about going out and accomplishing great feats (think graduation talk), but really about pursuing faith and trust that God can give us the grace to be content in all circumstances.This week one of our #fhcTAKEAWAYS asked: Happiness is found from within – take a moment and list 5 things things that make you truly happy.

My guest, Mikel Berger, is the co-founder and partner of Little Engine Ventures, along with co-founder Daryl Starr. Little Engine Ventures is a very unique investment firm in the already unique world of small company investing. They have a strong regional focus of companies within a 2 hour drive of Lafayette, IN and are building a firm, brand, and community that resonates with small, midwest business owners. Little Engine also has a very unique partnership structure that includes a maximum investment for an LP, along with a minimum, and allows them to close deals faster than most private equity firms that raise capital by deal can do. In this episode with Mikel, we cover his software background, how he describes Little Engine Ventures and their target business owner, how he protects investors and business owners, among other subjects. This was a fascinating conversation, and I hope you agree with me by the end of it. Links Mentioned Little Engine Ventures DelMar Software Building a Story Brand RelaNet
"موتور کوچولویی که تونست" یک داستان عامیانه آمریکایی است که پس از انتشار در سال 1930 در ایالات متحده مشهور شد. این داستان به کودکان ارزش امید و پشتکار را نشان میدهد و بر اساس یک نظرسنجی آنلاین در فهرست صد کتاب برتر معلمهای مدرسه در آمریکاست. جمله معروف این داستان "من فکر کنم که میتوانم" و "من فکر کردم که میتوانم" بارها در فیلمها، داستانها و مقالههای دیگر هم تکرار شده است مثل فیلم دامبو که وقتی دامبو میپرد این دو جمله را میگوید، و یا شل سیلوراستاین هم یک شعر دارد به نام "موتور آبی کوچولو". اسم کتاب اصلی The Little Engine that Could نوشته Watty Piper است. یکی از ویژگیهای این کتاب که در موردش زیاد حرف زده میشود و به کتاب جنبه فمینیستی میدهد جنسیت "موتور آبی کوچولو" است که زن است. در حالی که تمام مردان از کمک کردن به قطار در راه مونده خودداری میکنند، قطار آبی کوچولو که یک زن است آنها را کمک میکند. رده سنی کتاب دو سال و بالاتر.
Rejoice School of Ballet empowers youth to realize their potential by training, nurturing and celebrating dancers from diverse racial, socioeconomic and cultural backgrounds. • Registering new students on Aug. 12 • Upcoming original ballet in February. Doing "The Little Engine that Could" Our dancers will spend the year studying the 7 C's of resiliency to prepare. Each year Rejoice stages at least one ballet from the classical repertoire, or a completely original production, and in February 2020, we will embark upon a fresh, inspirational ballet written around the quintessential childhood story of perseverance and resilience, The Little Engine That Could. Considered by the National Education Association as one of the top 100 inspirational children's books, this story of steadfast perseverance was chosen to motivate the at-risk youth involved in Rejoices programs because the story has great potential to resonate and inspire young people whose life circumstances remain challenging. The “Little Engine” story will be considered and portrayed through the lens of the “7 Cs: The Building Blocks of Resilience,” developed by Ken Ginsburg, a pediatrician specializing in Adolescent Medicine and Director of Programs at Center for Parent and Teen Communication (http://www.fosteringresilience.com). The 7 Cs are comprised of seven interwoven assets known to build strong, capable young people: confidence, competence, connection, coping, control, character, and contribution. Rejoices programming for all students will focus on the 7 Cs for 2019-2020. Our original ballet will be written/choreographed by Gerald Watson, a Company Dancer with Nashville Ballet, and one of only a handful of African American male dancers in the US. Student dancers will portray the toys in the “Little Engine” story. Tentative plans include two wheelchair-bound youth dancers from Nashville Ballet's special needs class who will perform the key role of engines in the “Little Engine” train.

This is Kelly Orchard’s Apple A Day. Sixty Seconds on wisdom, success and personal growth. When we begin to contemplate our personal growth, it begins with yourself. Today, we’re focusing on Self Efficacy. Psychologist Albert Bandura has defined self-efficacy as one's belief in one's ability to succeed in specific situations. One's sense of self-efficacy can play a major role in how one approaches goals, tasks, and challenges. Self-efficacy reflects confidence in the ability to exert control over one's own motivation, behavior, and social environment. For example, if you know that you are a good driver, you approach driving with great confidence. Same goes for golf, writing, cooking, dancing, or business networking. When you believe that you possess the necessary talents to perform, you will approach your goals, tasks and challenges with confidence. How do you practice self-efficacy? Think about the Little Engine who could. Unlike self-esteem, self efficacy is one’s belief in their ability to perform a task. So, when you imagine your skills and motivation, say to yourself, “I think I can, I think I can, I think I can”, and when you believe it, you will! What task, behavior or goal do you want to succeed at today? This has been Kelly Orchard’s Apple A Day…Now, go out and be fruitful. Kelly Orchard's Apple A Day is also available in print.

“I think I can, I think I can, I think I can” may be a bit corny, but the fact is, I find myself repeating that line to myself. The Little Engine that Could put those words in my mind.

Cookie Baker is an incredible singer-songwriter and I am bloody thrilled to have Cookie as my special guest this week. Welcome to Episode 25, we are still alive! Happy quarter century to us. Cookie Baker has shared stages with many esteemed Australian artists, including Augie March, Kate Miller-Heidke, Ben Lee, Angie Hart (Frente!, a previous guest on this show, check out her episode here), Mick Thomas (Weddings, Parties, Anything), Little Birdy, and The Audreys. Her album will be released in 2019 following the release of three singles, Little Engine (which has an amazing video!), The Summer (with Tim Rogers) and Don't Start A Fight. Cookie begins by telling me about her upbringing in rural South Australia, performing concerts to her family on the front veranda through her Young Talent Team microphone. Fast forward to 2019 and now Cookie helps to run an artist's residency with her family on a neighbouring property called the Ballara Art & Lifestyle Retreat - Artist Residency Program. Once a year for the past 5 years Cookie travels to California to mentor with the Bay Area Girls Rock Camp, which reminded me of Melbourne's own Rock and Roll High School which began in 1995 right here on Easey Street, Collingwood! The very same street where More Than A Whelan is recorded every week at Castaway Studios! Rock and High School was visited by many alt rock luminaries including L7, Bikini Kill, Babes in Toyland, Sonic Youth and The Breeders. You can read about its amazing history and achievements here. I also ask Cookie about If You See Her, Say Hello, a Melbourne based all women choir collective founded in 2015 by Cookie. I've been lucky enough to see several performances by this collective, all of them stunning. Including this 2016 show as part of the Brunswick Music Festival, where you can see Cookie fronting the choir herself. At the same show Gretta Ray performed her original song Blank White Canvas with the choir. Gretta has gone on to huge things since then, recently performing on stage at Rod Laver. Cookie Baker's upcoming full length album has been slow cooking over the last ten years. A digital only release is slated for mid year with a limited edition vinyl lp coming out in late 2019. To keep up with all things Cookie Baker keep an eye on her website and follow her on Instagram. I ask Cookie about her thoughts on the #metoo movement's impact on the Australian music industry, in light of recent news of Ryan Adams bad behaviour. *CLARIFICATION: I say that up until now the #metoo movement 'hadn't involved musicians much'. What I actually meant to say was 'high profile, internationally known musicians.' It has in fact already involved many local and international musicians. And rightly so. WHELAN & STEALIN' I read a poem mysteriously sent to my address with a beautiful leaf in the envelope, by sender unknown! But I believe was written according to the prompt The Journey of a Leaf by Ag. If you would like to see a picture of this poem and a very beautiful leaf head to the More Than A Whelan Facebook or Instagram pages. And please like or follow us or rate and review us while you do! I also read work from an upcoming guest on More Than A Whelan, Ruth McIver. I read an excerpt from her book The Sunset Club. Really looking forward to having Ruth on the show! Cookie Baker weighs in also for Whelan and Stealin' with a stunning cover of Glory Box by Portishead. This week I respond to the prompt 'Detroit' by Shane Jesse Christmass by writing a poem about... Detroit. Thanks Shane! You are our official More Than A Whelan Muse of the Week! You'll be getting some sweet MTAW merch coming your way care of our good friends at Luxe Country. And that's a wrap for Episode 25! Please visit our Luxe Country store for exclusive More Than A Whelan merchandise. Thanks to their generosity proceeds from their sales go back into keeping us alive.

Happy New Year! It's another edition of Fuse 8 n' Kate which, at this rate, may be soon renamed The Random Facts About Koalas Show. With today's book Betsy sought out a classic with a strong female protagonist. Kate (and some of you out there) may contest whether or not this engine is, indeed, is the real deal. Or (and here the sisters butt heads) even female at all. Source Notes: - Koalas Fighting a.k.a. The sound of the devil. Wait for it, though. You don't hear the hellspawn that is the sound Kate was referring to until near the end of the vid: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x8oLu7znwQ0 -All the info Betsy conjures up about this book can be linked to #54 on the Top 100 Poll: http://blogs.slj.com/afuse8production/2009/04/11/top-100-picture-books-poll-results-55-51/ - Interested in this book?

This twenty-fourth episode of the Philosophy Bakes Bread radio show and podcast is another "breadcrumb" with Dr. Mariana Alessandri of the University of Texas Rio Grande Valley. In this breadcrumb, we talk about how to talk to our kids about the little engine that couldn't, or quixotic pessimism, the focus of our full-length episode 22. Episode 22 of the show was titled "The Little Engine that Couldn't." If you haven't heard it yet, check it out and don't miss episode 23, breadcrumb 3, our first of two breadcrumbs with Dr. Alessandri.

This twenty-third episode of the Philosophy Bakes Bread radio show and podcast is a special edition of the show that we call a "breadcrumb." A Breadcrumb is a short, 8-20 minute episode that was cut off from a longer show, that's a collage of little clips, or that is a response to listener feedback. Today's breadcrumb episode features Dr. Mariana Alessandri of the University of Texas Rio Grande Valley, talking with us again, about the bread baking metaphor for philosophy, how apt it is, but for surprising reasons. Bread is useful, but very few people today bake it themselves. Dr. Alessandri was with us on episode 22 of the show, "The Little Engine that Couldn't." If you haven't heard it yet, listening to this one first, check them both out, as well as episode 24, out next, which is a second breadcrumb episode that we recorded as well.

In this twenty-second episode of the Philosophy Bakes Bread radio show and podcast, co-hosts Dr. Eric Thomas Weber and Dr. Anthony Cashio interview Dr. Mariana Alessandri of the University of Texas Rio Grande Valley (UTRGV) on the topic of "The Little Engine that Couldn't." Dr. Alessandri is an assistant professor of philosophy at UTRGV. She has published in The New York Times, Times Higher Education, as well as in academic journals. She recently published a piece related to this episode in The New York Times, titled "In Praise of Lost Causes." This episode of Philosophy Bakes Bread is followed by not one, but two "breadcrumb" episodes. The first one coming out is a follow-up conversation that we had on the bread-baking metaphor. The second is about what we should tell our kids if we adopt Dr. Alessandri's quixotic pessimism as our outlook. Be sure to check those out when they come out, soon after this episode is released.

New Jersey Transit is a broken mess and has torn down the souls of all who ride it. Thankfully, we were sent a slew of THOUGHTS? submissions so we're reaching into a Rag & Bone bootie and getting our lives in reacting to them whilst sipping watermelon-flavored vodka and soda. Grab a bev and come hang out with us!
Remember that children’s book, “The Little Engine that Could”? He pulled a train full of toys up a hill by saying “I think I can, I think I can, I think I can.” Today’s prayer is to help you “think you can” too and change the thoughts in your brain from doubt to confidence.
We continue our month long Halloween celebration by giving some classic children's books and fairy tales a little monstrous flare. Think Pride and Prejudice and Zombies but for your kids. What happens if you give a Rancor a Jedi? Could the Little Engine survive a zombie horde? How would Dracula get you to eat green eggs and ham? All of these questions will be answered plus Cy gives many of these future classics a dramatic reading that is one for the history books.Host: Eugene StephensGuest: Cyrus Martin, Lanie Moore, Ray AndrewSpecial Guests: Jennifer HetzelLike the show?

7-3-16 - Senior Pastor Darrin Ronde wraps up The Voice sermon series by speaking on being able to listen to the voice of God telling us what we can and should do in the face of Satan telling what we can't and shouldn't do.

Click Below to Listen to Today's Show The Little Engine That Did This is the Little Engine That Did. It is a retelling of the story, The Little Engine That Could. One of the guests on Goal Getting Podcast, Aaron Walker, has a quote that he lives by.The quote is one from his mother. The quote is Can't Couldn't Do It, Could Did It All When I heard that quote, I loved it. A few days later, I had to prepare a speech for my Toastmasters club. I am working from the advanced manuals as I am working on my Advanced Communicator designation. The manual I was working in was the Storytelling manual. My project required me to rewrite and tell another story. Aaron Walkers quote gave me an idea to retell the Little Engine That Could story. I heard the story when I was young and it helped mold me into someone that was always open to trying new things, volunteering to help others and to be the best I could be. I rewrote the story for my Toastmasters speech. Unfortunately, I didn't video record that speech. I recorded it a few days before the speech to practice it. This is the recording. I edited it to add train sound effects. I would like to thank the following people as attribution: Mike KoenigSatish MatewaleBrylon TerryStephan Schutze and also to SoundBible.com for providing the downloads of these sound effects. I hope you like the story and will think it good enough to share with your kids. I used to read to my girls when they were little and the original story The Little Engine That Could was one that I often read to them.

Sure, we all wonder about how money works in other homes. Today, we open the curtain and share our struggle with money: the headaches & heartbreaks (that we can now laugh about); working through the fights; making a budget work; and finally, being able to see the finish line so close. It is nearly an understatement to say that our marriage has completely changed from figuring out the finances. Raul & I examine: What we remember of the early days of our marriage trying to figure out our budget. The resentment I had at that time. The turning point that was the biggest fight of our marriage: "the car fight" that changed our lives How I went to the first session of Financial Peace University by myself...and why Raul insisted I go. The discussion after that first session & insight to our desire to change our family tree. Instill hope: The reason I created this blog & podcast. Learning & getting on the same page, working together as a team; our marriage is better for it. The brutality of working through that first budget. Why Saturday mornings working through the budget is the best time of the week for us to make it work. And why Saturday morning budget time has become a habit. The Christmas budget: why we had to categorize where the money was going. Why we had to decide to allow our daughter to give this holiday. How we have found a balance where Raul focuses on the details, and I keep us looking toward the big vision for our family. What our friends & family have noticed about our situation. How having a budget has allowed us to be much more open about money. Who knew? The best example is to do it. When did Raul know we were on the right path? That very first night of FPU. The moment I knew we were on the right path? When we could do a budget in just a quick time. The story of "The Little Engine that Could" comparison to our finances. How the element of surprise has been removed from our budget. The jar analogy: the big rocks, the pebbles, the sand and the water. Raul is more analytical. I am more abstract and a feeler. We discuss how our communication styles have changed to be able to connect and reach out so that we are speaking the same language. What advice Raul has for you, the one who knows there is an important conversation that needs to happen to fix your finances. How having the budget eliminates the "awkward stressful conversations" in the store deciding on a purchase. What Raul's opinion on this podcast & what he has learned from this experience. How Raul has helped me figure out how to work from home, including: setting up business hours; finding balance in family and creating; and how we are making podcasting a part of our life- but not everything in our life. Raul asks me a question that I've never considered before. The element of finances in our marriage has enriched our entire relationships. Raul agrees to return with a status update on what we continue to learn about our finances. You've heard of the Think Enriched Crew, but are you in yet?

The City of Sisters faces challenges not unlike those in the well-known children’s book The Little Engine that Could. The underlying theme is the same — a stranded train is unable to find an engine willing to take it over difficult terrain to its destination. Only the little blue engine is willing to try and, while repeating the mantra "I think I can, I think I can," overcomes a seemingly impossible task. The City of Sisters has yet to find its little blue engine. For about the past seven years the community has struggled to find the right mix of economic “drivers” to sustain and grow the local economy. It may not be obvious to those driving through but the beautiful little town of about 2,000 people in the high desert of Central Oregon is working hard to find the right engine. It hasn't been going so well.

sermon transcript The Heritage of Christmas Let me ask you a question. Are you looking forward to tomorrow morning? Come on, tell me the truth. What are you looking forward to? Already we have some gifts under the tree. There’s one in particular that has piqued my interest. I’m looking forward to opening it. I’ll admit it, it’s true. I think we enjoy Christmas gifts, and I don’t think there’s anything wrong with it. Of course, to a point. I think any good gifts of God can become an idol, and we have to watch that all the time. Our hearts are so idolatrous. We’re always moving toward that, and we have to fight it every day. But it says in James 1:17, “Every good and perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of the heavily lights.” He’s the one who’s shown us how to give, and lavishly too. He who did not spare his own Son, but gave him up for us all, how will he not also along with him graciously give us all things? Lesser blessings. It says in 1 Timothy 6 that God has given us all things richly to enjoy. So that’s fine. The question is, are we idolatrous? That’s something we have to watch all the time. This morning I want to try to beguile you away from considering what might be in some of those mysterious packages that are under the tree right now, to consider the infinitely greater gifts that Christ came to give. And I’m going to begin by considering just a time that I spent overseas a few years ago. In the summer of 2003, I had the privilege of going to the Czech Republic. I was there with Mike Waters who’s listening to me. We had a wonderful time, and what he said, and it was true, although I gave a little trouble at the time, “The most beautiful city we had ever seen.” Now it’s true, I think, that Prague, at this point, is the most beautiful city I’ve ever seen. I know in the end, it won’t be. I think the new Jerusalem will top it. I’m looking forward to that. But Prague was a beautiful city. We went into the old town, and we were near the magnificent castle. It’s just a huge castle. And there, in the square outside the castle, was a bronze statue of a warrior on a horse, and it was King Wenceslas, whom they considered the patron saint of Bohemia. Now, every Christmas we sing a song that was written in 1853 by John Mason Neale, Good King Wenceslas. As I looked into the lyrics of the song and the truth behind it and the story behind it, I became more intrigued and drawn in. You see, Christmas is a time for giving gifts, but for the most part, throughout history, Christmas at its best has been a time for those who are rich and powerful and able, to bless those who are poor and needy and without and not able. That’s its heritage. That’s the heritage of Christmas. Now, all along, it’s had to battle that pagan Bacchanalia mid-winter thing that’s always been there too. It’s so for us as well. But at its best Christmas was a time for those who were able and those who were wealthy in positions of power to give and to bless those who weren’t. The ultimate pattern, of course, is Jesus Christ. Good King Wenceslas Who is this King Wenceslas? He was born (we think) in 907 AD. He lived just 22 years. Isn’t it amazing how God in his providence cut short the lives of so many of his choice servants, men and women, and takes them home? This man was assassinated by his own brother Boleslav, who wanted to be king of Bohemia in his place. But in his brief life, he used his influence and his power to spread Christianity through that part of Europe, where it hadn’t really taken root up to that point. Now, John Mason Neale found a story about Wenceslas. We don’t know whether it’s true or not, but it was consistent with his character, and he wrote about it in the hymn that we sing, Good King Wenceslas. He looked out on the feast of Stephen. It’s a story in which he’s standing—you envision him—on a cold bitter winter night looking out from his castle and down on the snow below, he sees a peasant scrambling around for firewood. He asks one of his pages, a servant, to come and says, “Who is this?” And he knows who he is, and he knows precisely where he lives. This King leaves the warmth and comfort and security and luxury, probably, of his castle and goes down with his servant into the snow and follows this man a good distance, a long way away from the castle, to bring him food and wine and firewood, and just to bless his home. I thought this was a tremendous picture of Christmas. I mean, there is Jesus in the ultimate place of security and pleasure and comfort, his heavenly castle. He looks down and what does he see? He sees us, the poor and needy, scrambling around and scrubbing around for firewood, in effect. In the song it’s a stormy bitter cold night and he enters into the howling storm of our sinful world, and he comes to bless us. He comes to bless us with infinite gifts. I want to talk about those gifts. You look at verse 14, it says, “The word became flesh and made his dwelling among us, and we have seen his glory, the glory of the only begotten, from the Father full of grace and truth.” And then in verse 16, which is going to be basically our meditation this morning, “From the fullness of His grace, we have all received one blessing after another,” or literally “grace in the place of grace.” Christ came to give us Christmas presents. What I want to do is I want to just kind of, like I said, beguile your minds away from whatever it is that you might be wondering about under your tree to think about the far greater gifts that Christ came to give us in Himself. I think it’s easy for us to lose sight given the deluge of material prosperity and of comfort that God has given us. It’s easy for us to become idolatrous. Lavish Christmas Gifts Statistics show that, based on a study recently, somewhere between 38 and 40 billion dollars were spent over the last month on children between the ages of 4 and 12. Well, I don’t know how much it is for everybody, I guess multiply that by three. We might be heading toward $100 billion spent on Christmas. That’s pretty lavish, isn’t it? But some of us, at least, are old enough to know that a vanishingly small percentage of those things that are waiting for you under the tree will even be part of your lives in five years. You know what I’m talking about? It could be a Christmas sweater that might still be there in five years, but there may be some other things. The fruit cake is definitely… Well, that might be here too as well. [Laughter] But anyway, the toys and many other things will be gone. For all men are like grass and all their glory is like the flower of the field. And the grass withers and the flowers fall, but the word of the God stands forever. So also do the gifts that Christ has come to give us. So, we’re going to focus on what those gifts are. The Supernatural Fullness of Christ Christ’s Supernatural Fullness I want to begin with the supernatural fullness of Christ. I want to talk about the fullness that’s in this verse. “From the fullness of his grace,” it says, “we have all received one blessing after another.” Christ was and is fully God. Colossians 1:19 says, “God was pleased to have all his fullness dwell in him.” God is a full being. In him there is no lack at all. He is full of joy, full of wisdom, full of power, full of love, full of mercy, full of everything that He is. He’s full of, all of those things. We, on the other hand, are so used to lack and emptiness that we can’t know really what ultimate fullness is. Christ before the foundation of the world was fully God, with as in our language, a capital G. Fully God. In the beginning, verse 1, was the Word and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. And thus, Christ fully participated in all the deity of God the father. He was fully joyful, fully powerful, fully holy, fully wise, fully loving and fully as righteous as the father. He is a full being. Nothing was lacking in the person of Christ. God the Father, and God the Son equally shared deity from the beginning, and they shared glory together equally as well. Then, God became man. Jesus took on a human body, the Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us. Fullness Became Flesh Look what it says, “We have seen his glory, the glory of the only begotten, who came from the Father,” and here’s this word, “Full of grace and truth.” Jesus, in taking on a human body, didn’t lose any of his fullness. I know it says in Philippians 2, “He emptied himself and made himself nothing.” I think we have a sense of that. He didn’t lose any of his deity in doing that, fully God still. It says in Colossians 2:9, “For in Christ, all the fullness of the deity dwells in bodily form.” So when taking on a body, he didn’t lose any of his fullness. Thus, Christ was the perfect display of God’s fullness in bodily form. “Full of grace and truth,” says John. Full of grace. Now, I don’t mean gracefulness. That’s not what I’m talking about. That’s not something most males aspire to, okay. We’re not looking necessarily to be graceful and it’s hopeless anyway, isn’t it guys? For the most part even if we wanted it, but we don’t. We don’t, okay. We’re not looking for it, you know, like Anna Pavlova up on point, like some ethereal angel floating across the stage. That is better for the women and that’s wonderful. Or like a figure skater, that’s fine. Delightful. That’s not what we mean, full of grace. Really, what we mean there is theologically, that God is lavishly generous to people who deserve his wrath. That’s what grace is about, and Jesus was full of grace. You see it in his bodily life, you see it in the things that happen to him, and the things He did in his reactions. He’s just full of grace in dealing. You just see the way he dealt with children, the way that children felt comfortable to come and sit on his lap and just wanted to be with him. You can’t fool a child and they knew he was full of grace. They wanted to be with him. You can see it in his kind and gentle manner to a leper from whom most people would run screaming, who is ceremonially unclean because of his disease. He said, “Lord, if you’re willing, you can make me clean.” “I am willing,” he said. “Be clean.” There’s just such a fullness of grace there. Or in his kind and gentle demeanor toward the parents of a dead girl, Jairus and his wife, and they were mourning over their dead 12-year-old daughter. Jesus says, “Don’t be afraid, only believe. And she is not dead, she’s just sleeping.” And he has the power to wake her up, and then gentle with her when he says talitha cumi, “Little girl, I say to you, get up.” You see the fullness of grace there in Jesus, in his tenderness. Filled with compassion over hungry people, 5,000 and more of them, and said, “They don’t need to go away, you give them something to eat.” You just see Jesus as an open conduit of God’s grace to a needy world. Then full of grace as he’s nailed to the cross and says, “Father, forgive them. They don’t know what they’re doing.” You see, Jesus filled with grace, full of grace. And it also says, full of truth as well. Jesus was truth embodied. But he always spoke the truth, even if I got him into great trouble. “I charge you under oath by the living God,” said the high priest, “Tell us if you are the Christ, the Son of God.” “I am,” he said, “And in the future, you’ll see the Son of Man sitting at the right hand of the Mighty One and coming on the clouds of heaven.” The high priest tears his robes and condemns him to death, as if Jesus didn’t know what would happen. Of course, he knew, he was just telling the truth. And he would also give the good confession in front of Pilate as well: “For this reason, I was born and for this, I came into the world to testify to the truth. All on the side of truth. Listen to me.” Jesus is full of grace and full of truth. He told his disciples the truth. Like Peter, “Get behind me, Satan. You’re a stumbling block to me.” Oh, that’s a sharp word of rebuke to a good friend. Satan is using you right now—stop it. He always told the truth, whatever it is we needed to hear. In all of these ways, we see Christ full of grace, full of truth. Christ Did Not Come to Receive but to Give He’s a full being in the flesh, and thus Christ had not come to receive but to give. He didn’t need anything. He wasn’t coming to receive. Now, I know the magi offered him gifts, gold, incense, and myrrh. I know that Mary anointed his feet with perfume worth over a year’s wages. I know they wanted to come and take him by force and make him king and give them all the lavish honor that they could. I know that. I know people gave him gifts and tried to give him gifts but let me tell you something. The gold in the new Jerusalem is infinitely superior to anything that magi brought. The worship that the hundred million angels give him, surrounding is thrown all the time, it’s better than even what Mary poured out on his feet. Purer, more perfect. The kingdom that he will reign over forever and ever, it’s infinitely superior to what those people who are just eating their fill of bread wanted to give him that day. Jesus didn’t come to receive these things. We weren’t in a position to give. Those gifts really, in an absolute sense, are pathetic. He only receives them because of the faith that’s behind them, or he doesn’t receive them if there’s no faith behind them. Jesus didn’t come to receive gifts rather he came to give them. He came to give gifts of grace. He was rich, infinitely richer than good King Wenceslas. Infinitely richer than any man that has ever lived, than any king that’s ever lived. We can’t imagine how wealthy he was. And so, it says in 2 Corinthians 8:9, “You know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ that though he was rich, yet for your sakes, he became poor. So that you, through his poverty, might become rich.” Jesus didn’t come into the world to get richer. He didn’t come in the world to receive any gifts from us; rather he came to give. Again, Mark 10:45. It says, “Even the Son of Man did not come to be served but to serve and to give his life as a ransom for many.” The giving, the giving. He came to give. To give his life. Jesus, as well, served in Heaven. He doesn’t need us, as we learned from Psalm 50, “If I were hungry, I would not tell you.” I have all my needs met. Even if I wanted to meet them, I wouldn’t meet them your way. Just like he said to Simon Peter, “Put your sword away. If I wanted to fight, I’d ask the angels.” They’d do it just fine. He doesn’t need us to serve him. He didn’t come to receive. He was full and he came to give. The Natural Emptiness of Humanity “We Are All Beggars” Now we, on the other hand, we are naturally empty. That’s what we are. We’re naturally empty. Martin Luther on his deathbed said in German, “We are all beggars.” Wir sind alle Bettler. That’s what we’re all, beggars. Then he said in Latin, “This is true.” Now, that’s the end of his theology. He knows he’s about to face his judge and maker, but he’s doing it unafraid, and why? Because he’s justified by faith alone apart from works. But we’re beggars. I think for this reason, Jesus began the greatest sermon that has ever been preached, the Sermon on the Mount, with this statement: “Blessed are the spiritual beggars, for theirs is the Kingdom of Heaven.” We’re beggars. We’re naturally empty. We don’t have anything to give. Universal Emptiness We’re universally empty. From the fullness of his grace, we have all received. Find yourself in that word all. We’re in the receiver place. We’re in the place to receive, not to give to Jesus. Even the wealthiest, most powerful, most envied people in the world, the lifestyles of the rich and famous people, even those who have nothing to give, naturally empty. John Wesley in a journal entry, December 23rd, two days before Christmas, 1755, he wrote this: “I was in the robe chamber, adjoining to the House of Lords, when the king put on his robes. His brow was much furrowed with age and quite clouded with care. Is this all the world can give even to a king? All the grandeur it can afford, a blanket of ermine around his shoulders so heavy and cumbersome he can scarcely move under it, a huge heap of borrowed hair and a few plates of gold and glittering stones upon his head. Alas! What a babble, is human greatness, and even this will not endure.” Is that the best the 18th century could have given to Jesus if we wanted to give our best to him. That’s the best the nation of England could give to King George II, who was a man at the height of his power and who probably wanted to be done with all of it, and two years later, he was. His aorta ruptured while he was using the toilet. What a disgusting way for even a king to die. We’re all beggars. We don’t have anything to offer naturally. That’s what I’m saying. Is this all the world can give even to a king? Jesus isn’t looking for that from us. We’re naturally empty. This is a universal emptiness, and I mean that from the poorest to the richest. The poorest beggar living in Kolkata (Calcutta) who’s barely scraping by and doesn’t even know if he’s going to be alive a year from then, six months from then, who doesn’t know Jesus, is empty before God. It’s not like God naturally loves the poor. If they don’t have Christ, they’re empty. And so, also the wealthiest captain of industry who’s making billions of dollars in the stock market or in the petroleum industry or in high tech, empty if they don’t have Christ. Emptiness Proven by the Law of Moses This emptiness is proven by the law of Moses. If you look at verse 17, “The law came through Moses, and grace and truth came through Jesus Christ.” But what does the law tell us? It tells us of our emptiness. That’s what it says. In Romans 3:20, it says, “Therefore, no one will be justified or declared righteous in his sight by observing the law, rather through the law we become conscious of sins.” The law uncovers our emptiness. It uncovers our empty hearts and our empty lives. The emptiness is especially proven in comparison with Christ. Here is this perfectly full being, full of grace and truth, and here we are just side by side. How do you do? How have you done the last year? Take your best day, how’s it doing? You line it up next to Jesus, you see your emptiness there. Martin Lloyd Jones was dealing with this question of “blessed are the spiritual beggars” and he was dealing with the question, “What if I don’t feel like a spiritual beggar?” You know what he said to do? Look at Jesus and keep looking. And keep looking. After a while, you will see. Here is this being filled with grace and truth, filled with love, filled with holiness, filled with power, filled with God through the Holy Spirit and here we are by contrast. Soon, you’ll realize that we are spiritual beggars. Emptiness Especially Proven by Comparison with Christ One of the bitterest aspects of our emptiness is we don’t know how empty we are. As a matter of fact, the impurer you are the less empty you think you are. Jesus said to the church at Laodicea, “You say, ‘I am rich. I have acquired wealth and do not need a thing.’ But you do not realize that you are wretched, pitiful, poor, blind and naked.” “You do not realize,” is the essence of our problem, although the word of God tells us the truth. We are all beggars, apart from Christ. But it doesn’t end there. Thanks be to God we don’t end up as spiritual beggars. Look at the verse again, verse 16, “From the fullness of His grace,” we have all what? “Received grace upon grace.” That’s what we were. What are we now? We are wealthy in Christ, with gifts of grace. The Lavish Generosity of Christ’s Gifts Generous in Quality: From His Fullness Now we see the lavish generosity of Christ’s gifts, generous in quality. It’s like when you pick up that gift and you’re holding it, and it’s just weighty and you’re excited, you think, “What could it be?” It’s not likely to be a granite boulder that someone got out of their backyard and wrapped up as a gift. It’s like, “What could it be?” There’s a weightiness to it. It’s even better if the weightiness is in a really small box. That’s really exciting when it’s really weighty in a small box, especially for ladies. There’s something really dense in here, something exciting. There’s a weightiness to the quality. Feel then the weight of the quality of Jesus’s gifts. From the fullness of his grace, he gives them. There are wonderful gifts, better than anything we could buy at Macy’s or JCPenney’s or Hecks, or at South Point, or North Square or what… I don’t know all of them. I always mess up. North Gate, I guess it is. Nothing you buy there can compare with the gifts that Jesus has come to give to you. They are lavish and generous in scope from the fullness of his grace, we have all received. Anyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved. It doesn’t matter to me if this is your first time in church in the last year. Well, in one sense it matters, but for this, it doesn’t matter. Because Christ is willing to be very generous to you right now. Just call on his name. Trust in him for the salvation of your soul. Receive the first gift from him, and that’s full forgiveness of sins. Bring your sinfulness and your sin to the cross and receive from him the gift of grace. Generous in Scope: We Have All Received Ask him to be your savior, and he will. Call on the name of the Lord. It’s a universal thing. From the fullness of his grace, we have all received. And by this, I don’t mean every single human being on the face of the Earth, he already covered that in John 1:12. But to those who received him, to those who believe in his name, he gave the right to become children of God. Children born, not of natural descent or a human decision or the will of a husband but born of God. That’s it. Generous in Cost: At the Price of His Body and Blood By simply trusting in Christ, you have full forgiveness, generous in scope and generous in cost too. I don’t think we should… I know the word grace means a free gift. Well, it is free to us. He doesn’t want your price. He doesn’t want you paying for it. But don’t imagine for a moment that it didn’t have a price. It did. It was infinitely costly to bring to you the gifts I’m about to describe to you. Infinitely expensive, these gifts. They came at the blood, the precious blood. 1 Peter 1:18 and 19, the precious blood of a lamb without blemish or defect, Jesus Christ. He shed his blood to purchase your Christmas gifts. There’s no one here who has sacrificed that much for Christmas. It was Jesus who did it. Generous in Quantity: Grace Instead of Grace Generous also in quantity. I know Jesus Himself is the central gift, and that’s enough. But I think it’s good to kind of unfold his gifts and just look at them. Suppose, for example, you woke up and some person or a group of people had put 54 gifts with your name on it under the tree. 54. I’d be embarrassed for myself, especially if everyone else got five or six. I’d feel like, “Oh boy.” If everybody in my family had 54 gifts, that would be the 360… I don’t know. Some huge number. We have a lot of people in our family. Christy would not be able to get into the den, I think. 54 gifts. I think we’d have ought to open each one and look at it. Generous in quality. Look what the verse says. I know it doesn’t come across necessarily, but literally in the Greek, it says, “From the fullness of His grace, we have all received, grace instead of grace.” In other words, it’s grace, then another grace than another grace than another grace. I imagine a train. I remember reading on a Christmas morning, “The Little Engine that Could.” I never thought I’d use that in a sermon. It teaches human works and effort, and I can get to Heaven, that’s not what I’m saying. I just want you to imagine a train laden with gifts. Think like a child. I’m thinking, the gifts looked really good back then, now they look like… Not so good. But at that time, they looked really good. And I thought, “Wow, wouldn’t that be great?” And of course, because it’s just a little engine that they could there are only so many cars. The longest train in history is 682 cars. It was a coal car. I don’t want that much coal. But it was four and a half miles long and it moved very slowly, so imagine coming to the intersection and you see the first of the 682 cars going by. But imagine if you would, let’s get out and let’s just stand by the railway track and watch one gift of grace after another, come. Because that’s what it is. It’s just generous, generous. Grace instead of Grace, instead of Grace, instead of grace, day after day after day, on into eternity, friends. We are incredibly rich, and whatever you have under that tree tomorrow, it doesn’t even compare with the good things that God has already given you, is giving you now, and will give you up into the future. Or like what? Grace upon Grace The Past Blessings of Grace 0:25:40.9 S1: Well, let’s start way back. Let’s not start at the birth of Christ. Let’s start before the foundation of the world. When God worked out his salvation plan. He worked it out with you in mind. And the next gift of grace, he chose you. If you’re a Christian, he chose you by name before the foundation of the world. And the next gift of grace, he created a beautiful world for you and others like you to live in. He created the heavens and the earth and made them beautiful and lush and lavish. And he put Adam and Eve, created in the image of God, in that garden. The next gift of grace, after Adam’s fall, he didn’t kill the human race as we deserved, but he allowed history to continue, and he even promised a redeemer who would crush the serpent’s head. The next gift of grace, at the time of the flood, he didn’t kill the human race as we deserved then, but he preserved a remnant in Noah’s Ark, so that we would be able to survive. Then the next gift of grace, he called Abraham, so that salvation would come from the Jews. And the next gift of grace, the Exodus under Moses, in which He took the two million perhaps Jews out of Egypt and brought them into the Promised Land, a beautiful picture of our salvation. And the next gift of grace, the Law of Moses, to expose our emptiness, as I’ve already said. But also, to point ahead to the future through animal sacrifice, when we would understand the shedding of the blood of Jesus on the cross, so we would know how we would be saved. The next gift of grace, the kingship of David, a perfect picture of Jesus, our ruler, our savior. And Jesus is the son of David. And the next gift of grace, the words of the prophets. The servants and messengers of the covenant, who came with a lawsuit against the people of God and showed them how they had violated the Law of Moses, but they also spoke of redemption, of renewal, of restoration, and ultimately, of the Christ. The next gift of grace, the birth of Christ Himself. Born of a virgin, born under the law, born in the fullness of time. At just the right time, Jesus was born. And Mary wrapped him and swaddling clothes and laid him in a manger, because there was no room for them at the inn. The next gift of grace, Christ’s perfect sinless life that he made it through 30 plus years of life and temptation and never once yielded. And his righteousness will be and is your righteousness. The next gift of grace, powerful miracles. Healing a man born blind, healing any disease and sickness brought to him, healing Lazarus, dead in the tomb for four days, pictures of his resurrecting power. The next gift of grace, his perfect teaching ministry, parables, and teachings. No one ever talked like this man, no one ever taught like this man, perfect teachings, and we have a record of some of them, not all of them, but some of them. The next gift of grace, His redemptive death on the cross, His blood shed on the cross before you were even born. His blood shed for all of your sins, if you’re a Christian. And the next gift of grace, God didn’t leave him in the tomb, but raised him from the dead on the third day and gave him a resurrection body that will be like your body or yours like his forever and ever. He will be the first fruit from the dead, and there will be a huge harvest. The next gift of grace, the pouring out of the Holy Spirit of God on Pentecost. And the Holy Spirit has come to inspire the writing of the New Testament, the next gift of grace. And to convict the world of sin and judgment and righteousness. And the next gift of Grace, the steady, irresistible advance of the gospel for 2,000 years. Satan has been trying to stop it, but he can’t, and the gospel has spread from the Upper Room, 120 believers to a multitude greater than we are able to number from every tribe and language, almost every tribe, and language, and people and nation. The spread of the gospel. The next gift of grace, the way that God has sovereignly ruled over the nations to accomplish his historical purposes. To watch over the rise of this empire and the fall of that one, and to watch over the inventions and medical discoveries and the discovery of the New World with Columbus, and to watch over all of history to accomplish his ends. Part of which is saving your soul. Isn’t that beautiful? And the next gift of grace, a bunch of brothers and sisters, most of them who we have not met, who were martyrs and witnesses, and missionaries and pastors, and godly women and men who are your brothers and sisters. A royal heritage for 2,000 years. And the next gift of grace, your personal family lineage, your great-great-grandparents and your great-grandparents and grandparents and parents. And how each of them met and what kind of people they were, and what their strengths and weaknesses were, what their sins were, and what their godliness was, if there was any. All of that. Before you were born. What about since you’ve been born? Well, God watched over you and cared for you. He gave you parents to care for you, to look after you. He gave you a series of people to tell you about Christ, to teach you the Bible. The Present Blessings of Grace Long before you ever trusted in Christ, you’d heard of him many, many times, and God sent different people, whether parents, brothers and sisters, college roommates, pastors, Sunday school teachers, missionaries, who knows? But he sent them to you. And he’s given you beauty. You’ve seen beautiful things in the world, mountains and oceans, and different things. And each one of us has a different set of postcards in our minds of the beauty of the Earth, and it’s nothing compared to the future beauty of the new Earth. But it’s there, and you’ve seen it. From the fullness of his grace, we have all received. One gift of a blessing, one grace after another. And then at the right time, the Holy Spirit opened your eyes to your own emptiness. And he showed you what you’ve been unable, unwilling to face, up to that moment. You needed a savior, you needed Jesus, you needed him to shed his blood on the cross in your place or you would deserve to go to hell. At some point, you came to realize that, and you were regenerated by the power of the Holy Spirit. You were given the gift of faith. At that moment, God justified you of all of your sins, forgave you of all of your sins, past, present and future, and he gave you the indwelling Spirit, and He adopted you into his own family from which you will never depart. He gave you spiritual gifts in a ministry and opportunities one after the other, day after day to live a life worthy of his calling and of his name, and he’s kept a careful record of everything you’ve done by faith, and he’ll reward you for it someday. And he’s going to give you continued opportunities to serve him, and he’s going to watch over you the rest of your life, in the future. He’s going to protect you, and he’s going to keep you safe and there will be no combination of temptations that will separate you from Christ, because he will sovereignly not allow it to happen. He will protect you until the day you die. And then that day, he’ll give you grace to die well and to his glory. You may die at 93 years old in a hospital, you may die in a car wreck, you may die of a heart attack, you may die of a disease. If the Lord doesn’t return in our generation, you will die. And he will give you grace to get through it. And then on the other side, is he done being gracious to you? No. He will take that soul that has been separated from your body, which cannot inherit the Kingdom of Heaven anyway. The Future Blessings of Grace So good riddance, I think at that point. I want to see what he does with my body. But I’ll be separated at that point, and he will also separate me from all wickedness and all sin in my soul, and I will love only righteousness. And I will hate all wickedness, and I will be made perfect and holy. From the fullness of his grace, we have all received grace upon grace, upon grace, upon grace. And then judgment day, he will give me grace. He will give me grace to survive the day of wrath, and I will get through it, and so will any who call on his name. We will survive that day. And we will even thrive on that day, because on the other side of it, we will be in resurrection bodies, and we will live in a perfect kingdom, a new heaven and a new earth, the home of righteousness and we qualify. How did that happen? But Jesus’s righteousness was given to us. And then will it end? No. There are your 54 gifts. He intends far more than 54, friends. And a good thing too, you kind of like to get to Christmas tomorrow, wouldn’t you? I’ll stop here, but I think you could meditate far more than I have over the past and present and future gifts of his grace. And so, you will do forever, and of the increase of his government, there’ll be no end, because you will continually see more and more of his grace. He has more to show you. If you came to that intersection of the 682-car train, and you’re looking at your watch and wondering, “When is this ever going to be done?” This train, you are not going to want to end. You want to just see a gift of grace after gift to grace to keep on going past you for eternity. And you will be filled with a sense of gratitude, you can’t even imagine. Application What application do we take from this? Well, I think it’s good to open the gifts that somebody else took the time to wrap. I think you ought to do it. I think you ought to. But let your heart be already filled with light and glory of the things we’ve talked about today. Meditate on the generosity of God through Christ. If you haven’t come to Christ yet, don’t miss it, because none of these gifts of grace are yours, if you’re not a Christian. None of them. Just a fiery expectation of judgment, of raging fire that’ll consume the enemies of God. I would rather have this than that, wouldn’t you? Why will you die? Turn and repent and believe and trust in him. Don’t leave this room without receiving that first as far as you’re concerned gift, forgiveness of sins. But for those of you that have already made that commitment, then meditate on God’s goodness. Let me say one more thing. As I’ve studied Christmas, I had a whole bunch of stuff about Christmas and decided to get rid of it. If you want to know more about the history of Christmas and how it has had a rich heritage of the rich blessing the poor, find out more. The History Channel had a history thing on Christmas, look it up. There’s a lot of stuff on Christmas. Consistently, the wealthy and the positioned folks used it to bless the poor. I have talked to so many people this Christmas, saying, “They are weary of the treadmill. The Christmas treadmill.” As a matter of fact, I haven’t talked to anybody who’s not. The thing is, why don’t we change it? How do we change it? How do we get off? If you feel it’s become to idolatrous, how do you stop it? And so, I would urge that you enjoy whatever you have planned to enjoy tomorrow. Enjoy it with a free heart, but make plans to make 2007, a year from now different than any Christmas you’ve ever enjoyed. Our small group, what we did was we gave to the Persecution Project in Samaritan’s Purse. They have different ways. You can buy little chicks. You can buy a well dug in a village. You can buy all kinds of stuff for people who are barely making it, barely surviving. Maybe instead of giving gifts to people who don’t need what you’re going to give them anyway, that’s why you’re having such a hard time finding what to give them, because they don’t need anything. And if they need something, they bought it already. So, what do you give? I would urge think differently, a year from now. No, no, think differently seven or eight months from now. Make plans. Make plans. Close with me in prayer.
