We have hastily done what we should not have, without understanding, and we have hated the consequences. Our frustrations have promoted anger and resentment instead of reflection, learning and change. We have raged against you and others. We have lost our way. We thank you that in your wisdom you sent Jesus, and through his suffering we are redeemed. We look to him for forgiveness and pray that you would grant us understanding. Amen.Questions for ReflectionOf these two proverbs, which is more characteristic of you: a) “He who hesitates is lost” b) “Look before you leap”What role does desire play in your experience? How are your choices affected by what you desire? Do you associate any difficulties in your life with your desires?How can desires shape (or distort) understanding? How can understanding help you contain, form, or properly direct and express your desires?When things go wrong, when you fail, when troubles come, what role does anger play in your response?When you are angry, do you feel a need to identify fault? Can you be angry and not have anyone or anything to blame?When a person is angry with God: what should they not do? What should they do?How does a lack of understanding and being controlled by desires lead to ruin? What needs to happen to change course as you move forward in life knowing you will face situations where you don't know all that you need to know?God deals with sin and separation through Jesus, who holds together God and humanity in himself, and God Himself bears the hostility in order to extinguish it so there can be peace – if there was an easier way, do you imagine God would have taken another way? Do you discern any wisdom in the plan of God to address the world's deepest issues in this way?Why is it important that we understand that Jesus wants us to “join” ourselves to him? How does that attachment become where our desires are satisfied, changed, or renewed?How does a maturing understanding of the gospel transform the role of desire in our lives? What becomes different?

Scott StrickmanSermon Series: Proverbs1 Kings 3:3-28 (ESV)3 Solomon loved the Lord, walking in the statutes of David his father, only he sacrificed and made offerings at the high places. 4 And the king went to Gibeon to sacrifice there, for that was the great high place. Solomon used to offer a thousand burnt offerings on that altar. 5 At Gibeon the Lord appeared to Solomon in a dream by night, and God said, “Ask what I shall give you.” 6 And Solomon said, “You have shown great and steadfast love to your servant David my father, because he walked before you in faithfulness, in righteousness, and in uprightness of heart toward you. And you have kept for him this great and steadfast love and have given him a son to sit on his throne this day. 7 And now, O Lord my God, you have made your servant king in place of David my father, although I am but a little child. I do not know how to go out or come in. 8 And your servant is in the midst of your people whom you have chosen, a great people, too many to be numbered or counted for multitude. 9 Give your servant therefore an understanding mind to govern your people, that I may discern between good and evil, for who is able to govern this your great people?”10 It pleased the Lord that Solomon had asked this. 11 And God said to him, “Because you have asked this, and have not asked for yourself long life or riches or the life of your enemies, but have asked for yourself understanding to discern what is right, 12 behold, I now do according to your word. Behold, I give you a wise and discerning mind, so that none like you has been before you and none like you shall arise after you. 13 I give you also what you have not asked, both riches and honor, so that no other king shall compare with you, all your days. 14 And if you will walk in my ways, keeping my statutes and my commandments, as your father David walked, then I will lengthen your days.”15 And Solomon awoke, and behold, it was a dream. Then he came to Jerusalem and stood before the ark of the covenant of the Lord, and offered up burnt offerings and peace offerings, and made a feast for all his servants.16 Then two prostitutes came to the king and stood before him. 17 The one woman said, “Oh, my lord, this woman and I live in the same house, and I gave birth to a child while she was in the house. 18 Then on the third day after I gave birth, this woman also gave birth. And we were alone. There was no one else with us in the house; only we two were in the house. 19 And this woman's son died in the night, because she lay on him. 20 And she arose at midnight and took my son from beside me, while your servant slept, and laid him at her breast, and laid her dead son at my breast. 21 When I rose in the morning to nurse my child, behold, he was dead. But when I looked at him closely in the morning, behold, he was not the child that I had borne.” 22 But the other woman said, “No, the living child is mine, and the dead child is yours.” The first said, “No, the dead child is yours, and the living child is mine.” Thus they spoke before the king.23 Then the king said, “The one says, ‘This is my son that is alive, and your son is dead'; and the other says, ‘No; but your son is dead, and my son is the living one.'” 24 And the king said, “Bring me a sword.” So a sword was brought before the king. 25 And the king said, “Divide the living child in two, and give half to the one and half to the other.” 26 Then the woman whose son was alive said to the king, because her heart yearned for her son, “Oh, my lord, give her the living child, and by no means put him to death.” But the other said, “He shall be neither mine nor yours; divide him.” 27 Then the king answered and said, “Give the living child to the first woman, and by no means put him to death; she is his mother.” 28 And all Israel heard of the judgment that the king had rendered, and they stood in awe of the king, because they perceived that the wisdom of God was in him to do justice.Sermon OutlineThe Bible urges us to “get wisdom” (Proverbs 4:5, v9)1.

Faith Under Fire – Week 5: When Faith Keeps Praying1 Kings 18:41–46 | Pastor Craig TurnbullWhat happens when prayers seem unanswered? What do we do when we keep asking God for breakthrough… and nothing changes?In Week 5 of Faith Under Fire, Pastor Craig Turnbull teaches through the final moments of Elijah's time on Mount Carmel after God sends fire from heaven and the nation turns back to Him. But before the rain finally comes, Elijah continues praying with persistence, humility, and trust in God's promises. This message is a powerful reminder that prayer is not just about getting results. Prayer draws us closer to God, deepens our dependence on Him, and shapes our faith while we wait. Pastor Craig highlights four key truths about prayer:• Prayer begins by believing God's Word and trusting His promises• Prayer requires humility and surrender before the Lord• Prayer persists even when answers seem delayed• Prayer allows us to experience the power and presence of God Elijah prayed seven times before even seeing a small cloud appear on the horizon. The message challenges us not to stop praying just because we have not yet seen the answer. Whether you are praying for a prodigal child, healing in a relationship, freedom from addiction, wisdom, direction, or revival in your family and community, this sermon encourages believers to remain faithful and keep seeking God.Because sometimes while God is working on the situation…He is also working on us.

Scott StrickmanSermon Series: Come, Let Us Walk in the Light of the LordIsaiah 58:1-14 (ESV)1 “Cry aloud; do not hold back; lift up your voice like a trumpet;declare to my people their transgression, to the house of Jacob their sins.2 Yet they seek me daily and delight to know my ways,as if they were a nation that did righteousness and did not forsake the judgment of their God;they ask of me righteous judgments; they delight to draw near to God.3 ‘Why have we fasted, and you see it not? Why have we humbled ourselves, and you take no knowledge of it?'Behold, in the day of your fast you seek your own pleasure, and oppress all your workers.4 Behold, you fast only to quarrel and to fight and to hit with a wicked fist.Fasting like yours this day will not make your voice to be heard on high.5 Is such the fast that I choose, a day for a person to humble himself?Is it to bow down his head like a reed, and to spread sackcloth and ashes under him?Will you call this a fast, and a day acceptable to the Lord?6 “Is not this the fast that I choose: to loose the bonds of wickedness, to undo the straps of the yoke,to let the oppressed go free, and to break every yoke?7 Is it not to share your bread with the hungry and bring the homeless poor into your house;when you see the naked, to cover him, and not to hide yourself from your own flesh?8 Then shall your light break forth like the dawn, and your healing shall spring up speedily;your righteousness shall go before you; the glory of the Lord shall be your rear guard.9 Then you shall call, and the Lord will answer; you shall cry, and he will say, ‘Here I am.'If you take away the yoke from your midst, the pointing of the finger, and speaking wickedness,10 if you pour yourself out for the hungry and satisfy the desire of the afflicted,then shall your light rise in the darkness and your gloom be as the noonday.11 And the Lord will guide you continually and satisfy your desire in scorched places and make your bones strong;and you shall be like a watered garden, like a spring of water, whose waters do not fail.12 And your ancient ruins shall be rebuilt; you shall raise up the foundations of many generations;you shall be called the repairer of the breach, the restorer of streets to dwell in.13 “If you turn back your foot from the Sabbath, from doing your pleasure on my holy day,and call the Sabbath a delight and the holy day of the Lord honorable;if you honor it, not going your own ways, or seeking your own pleasure, or talking idly;14 then you shall take delight in the Lord, and I will make you ride on the heights of the earth;I will feed you with the heritage of Jacob your father, for the mouth of the Lord has spoken.”Sermon OutlineIs God a source of delight or a means to it?1.

We confess our guilt and confusion. We have turned from you and devoted ourselves to things that cannot satisfy. We have presumed we could earn your favor, failing to recognize that our frustrations and accusations are evidence of our own sin. We have looked at the poor and needy with arrogant, hard hearts, not discerning our own poverty and need. We return to you, exchanging our false humility and corrupt practices for the life you give in Christ. Forgive us, heal us, and continue to draw us into the delight of life with you.

TODAY'S VIDEO: A free prayer providing context about the work of the blood and sacrifice of Jesus Christ and the refiner's fire of God. THE FIRE OF REFINEMENT IS NOT EASY NOR IS IT MEANT TO BE EASY. Warfare by definition is not easy, but what makes it harder is presumption of a higher office & station than we're able to stand at. What are the rules of engagement, are you familiar with them? YOU CANNOT GET ANY MORE TERRITORY THAN YOU ARE ABLE OR WILLING TO MAINTAIN. YOU CANNOT HOLD ANY HIGHER OFFICE THAN YOU ARE WORTHY OF. YOU CANNOT BE PROMOTED WITHOUT COMPLETING THE LAST STAGE YOU WERE TESTED AT. IF YOU BUILD POORLY YOU WILL BE SENT BACK TO THE BEGINNING TO BUILD BETTER. IF YOU BUILD WELL HOLD YOUR POSITION AND YOU WILL BE PROMOTED. PROMOTION, HIGHER OFFICE, AND ALL "BETTER THINGS" COME AT A COST. PAY IT. GOD IS THE ONE SETTING THE COURSE, THE PACE, AND THE TESTS IN JESUS NAME. REFINEMENT IS WHAT MAKES YOU FIT TO COMMAND MORE TERRITORY AND HAVE MORE. PROCESSING IS WHAT MAKES YOU STRONG ENOUGH TO DO MORE, FOR YOU & FOR OTHERS.

Prayer is a foundation of the church and faith as a whole. Even though we know this, praying is hard. How do we do it? Why do we do it? If we know Jesus already has everything planned out for us, why do we pray? We pray because we depend on the Lord. He gives us the hope and comfortability to talk with Him, and gives us the steps on how to do it.

They Call Me Rhetorical Working Man. In this episode, we discuss Luther‘s teaching on justification and vocation while reading James Nestingen's essay on the same topic. We cover feudalism, the rise of capitalism, how the reformation took hold in the cities in Germany, the three estates, the two kingdoms, church life versus social life, and the consequences for Christians of not being grounded in faith and prayer as detailed by Luther, in particular, in his explanations to the petitions of the Lord Prayer.

Audio Recording Sermon OutlineSpeaker: Rev. Scott StrickmanSermon Series: Joined Together, Growing TogetherEphesians 6:5-9 (ESV)5 Bondservants, obey your earthly masters with fear and trembling, with a sincere heart, as you would Christ, 6 not by the way of eye-service, as people-pleasers, but as bondservants of Christ, doing the will of God from the heart, 7 rendering service with a good will as to the Lord and not to man, 8 knowing that whatever good anyone does, this he will receive back from the Lord, whether he is a bondservant or is free. 9 Masters, do the same to them, and stop your threatening, knowing that he who is both their Master and yours is in heaven, and that there is no partiality with him.Sermon OutlineLife in Christ transforms people so everything they do, including work, is shaped by their walk with God. 1. Who and How You Servev6 “doing the will of God”, v7 “service with a good will as to the Lord”v5 “with a sincere heart”, v6 “from the heart”v5 “as you would Christ”, v6 “as bondservants of Christ” 2. Why This Needs to Be Clarifiedv9 “there is no partiality with him”v6 “not by the way of eye-service, as people pleasers”v9 “stop your threatening” 3. What the Gospel Changesv5 “your earthly masters”, v9 “their master and yours is in heaven”v8 “whatever good anyone does, this he will receive back from the Lord”Prayer of ConfessionAlmighty God, you rule the heavens and the earth with wisdom, authority, and love. We admit our failings. We have arrogantly strived to be masters, neglecting the way of service, and eager to have others serve us; yet we do not even have mastery over ourselves. Forgive us our manipulation, and all acts superficially meant to impress and please others. Forgive our threats and every effort to coerce. Forgive our sinful partiality. We thank you that Christ came to serve, and in taking the form of a servant, laid down his life for us. We appeal for grace and look to him in faith. Amen.Questions for ReflectionWhat does it (or can it) look like for you to do your particular work “rendering service with a good will as to the Lord?” What in the teachings and pattern of Christ can shape how you do whatever work/responsibilities you do?If you have a boss/supervisor, what principles direct how you relate to that supervisor? How would God have you interact with their instructions/requirements? How should the way of Christ frame how you relate in the various kinds of interactions you have with your supervisor?If you do not report to anyone in the work you do, how does (or can) service to God shape the way you do what you are responsible for?Why is it a problem to work as a people-pleaser, in order to be seen? What corrections do you need in this area?Why do people in positions of authority threaten those under them? Is this something you do? Why? How can you improve?What difference does it make that all people are ultimately responsible to God? How can faithfulness to God help you navigate a corrupt situation? What motivates you to be steadfast in doing good?Do you believe that God will somehow return to you the good that you have done? Why or why not?If you had complete confidence that in the future God will make things right, how would that change how you relate to difficult people? Navigate unfair situations? Manage your own discouragement?

In life, we learn things every day if we observe and are willing to learn. It is a lifelong journey, but it shouldn't stop with the desire to learn. We are to teach others along the way, spreading knowledge like a wildfire. The Bible tells us that the word will teach us how to live a righteous life, even when enemies are waiting. When we live in this way, our behaviors can be mirrored and influence those around us.

He is their help and their shield.10 O house of Aaron, trust in the Lord! He is their help and their shield.11 You who fear the Lord, trust in the Lord! He is their help and their shield.12 The Lord has remembered us; he will bless us; he will bless the house of Israel; he will bless the house of Aaron;13 he will bless those who fear the Lord, both the small and the great.14 May the Lord give you increase, you and your children!15 May you be blessed by the Lord, who made heaven and earth!16 The heavens are the Lord's heavens, but the earth he has given to the children of man.17 The dead do not praise the Lord, nor do any who go down into silence.18 But we will bless the Lord from this time forth and forevermore.Praise the Lord!Sermon OutlineGod is personal, so when we come to know God (not just have knowledge about God) we experience renewal in our lives.1.

Message from Simon Price on September 10, 2023

The Joy of the Lord | Prayer for Joy Joy is more than optimism, rose colored glasses or even happiness.

From the writers of the psalms 3,000 years ago to our own prayers in church every Sunday, faithful people have prayed to God to bring justice to the earth, and yet terrible suffering and injustice continue in every part of the world. Why doesn't God answer our prayers? Selina Stone has wrestled with this question through many years working at the front line of injustice as a community organiser. She reflects personally and theologically about the question of prayer and its relationship to a transformed world. Dr Selina Stone is Postdoctoral Research Associate in Theological Education at Durham University where her research focuses on diversity and belonging. Her PhD is in Pentecostalism and Social Justice and she has worked previously as a lecturer in theology, leadership and social justice and as a community organiser in London.

Want the insider scoop on what a healthy prayer looks like? Listen in as Gordon Dabbs, Ph.D., unpacks the teachings of Jesus from Matthew 6. Jesus shares a clear warning as well as practical things believers can do to strengthen their inner lives and their relationships with God. About the series. . . Why is it that some believers can't wait to spend time with the Lord in prayer while others see it as a lifeless duty to be fulfilled? The answer can be unlocked by turning to the actual prayers that people of faith brought before God in the Bible. In the Dear Lord message series, Gordon and others will take prayers straight from the Word of God which can reinvigorate our relationships with the Lord. These “prayer starters” can help guide us into deeper and more meaningful conversations with our Creator.Subscribe to PRESTONCREST - with Gordon Dabbs on Soundwise
