Luke 2:10-11 (CSB) But the angel said to them...11 Today in the city of David a Savior was born for you, who is theMessiah, the Lord...15 When the angels had left them and returned to heaven, the shepherds said to oneanother, “Let's go straight to Bethlehem and see what has happened, which the Lord has made known tous.”The message was given to the shepherdsThey were is the right place to hearThey accepted and respondedWho is this Savior for?1.

That unsaved loved ones would be given a new heart (Ezekiel 36:26).2. That unsaved loved ones would be given a renewed mind (Romans 12:2).3. That unsaved loved ones would be given the sight Jesus has recovered (Luke 4:18).4. That unsaved loved ones would have ears to hear (Matthew 11:15).5. To be a light that shines among others (Matthew 5:16).6. To never cease in prayer (1 Thessalonians 5:17).Luke 2:15...“Let's go straight to Bethlehem and see what has happened, which the Lord has made known tous.”
The minions of Satan and those that follow the leadings of them that pervert the Word of God; they seek to thwart the efforts of truth and righteousness. Be strong and courageous because the blessed assurances of Hashem in His sovereignty is where we get the power. We are weak, but He is strong. Mattthew 10:19, Genesis 6:5, Deuteronomy 3:22, John 3:16-22, Romans 8:38&39, Hebrews 11:1,II Timothy 1:7-9.

A Sermon by Pastor Richard Sfameni, Lead Pastor of Victory Church in Providence, RI. Back to the Basics: Our Hero The Deity of The Lord Jesus Christ is the eternal Son of God. The scriptures declare: His virgin birth (Matthew 1:23) His sinless life (Hebrews 7:26 His miracles (Acts 2:22 His substitutionary work on the cross (1 Corinthians 15:3 His bodily resurection from the dead (Mattthew 28:6 His exaltation to the right hand of God (Acts 1:9,11) Confident Continual Confession Hebrews 4:14-16 Our Compassionate High Priest 14 Seeing then that we have a great High Priest who has passed through the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast our confession. 15 For we do not have a High Priest who cannot sympathize with our weaknesses, but was in all points tempted as we are, yet without sin. 16 Let us therefore come boldly to the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy and find grace to help in time of need.

We begin our Lenten journey together in a series that we are calling From The Ashes. We'll be spending each week of lent diving into some hard truths about ourselves that when we examine them, help bring us closer to the truth of who we are, whose we are, and how we can be closer to God.Week 6 - You Are ReplaceableWeek 5 - You Are Capable Of Quite LittleWeek 4 - You Won't Be RememberedWeek 3 - You Aren't That SmartWeek 2 - You Are Going To DieWeek 1 - Don't Trust Ourselves
The journey can get bumpy. Not only do we face rough spots in our own lives, but Jesus said the world as a whole will experience challenges until He returns. There will be deceptions, conflicts, earthquakes, and assorted other troubles that will cause us to cry out for God along the way -- and lead us to anticipate His return.

Matthew Gambill grew up in Cartersville, Bartow County, Georgia. Except for college, Matthew has lived in Cartersville all his life. Matthew lists the influences in his life as first, Jesus, and second, his maternal grandfather, Frank Harris, not to discredit his father. Frank was from the rural mountains of North Georgia. He went to work in the seventh grade to support his widowed mother and siblings. After rising as far as he could at one company, he started a business in 1945, Harris Cement Products. Frank helped build their Church in the 1950s. Matthew talks about how his grandfather invested in people. God rewarded him with a wonderful family and great success, which allowed him to help others and support the ministry and missionaries around the world. Frank Harris served on the Cartersville City School Board and was chairman in the 1960s when Cartersville integrated the schools. Frank and his wife had observed that blacks were not treated right in the South. Frank worked with other leaders to ensure peaceful integration. Matthew praises the Lord for setting Frank in a position to influence others to do the right thing. Jim affirms that Frank Harris had the mark of a man in treating all with equity. Matthew's uncle, Joe Frank Harris, ran for office and won the same Georgia House of Representatives seat that Matthew holds now, against a well-funded incumbent. Joe Frank Harris served for 18 years in the House. In 1982, Joe Frank was elected Governor and served for two terms until 1991. Matthew credits God with putting Joe Frank in the right place at the right time. Matthew's uncle, Fred, was a commercial real estate developer in Cartersville, after working at Harris Cement. Matthew's father served a term on the Cartersville City School Board. Leadership, responsibility, and service to the community were all part of the Harris family way of life, instilled in them from youth. That was Matthew's motivation for running for the Georgia House two years ago. Matthew shares his early education and Church membership. He was blessed with good friends who would meet on Saturday nights for prayer and listen to Christian bands and evangelists. Through those friends, God led Matthew to Lee University in Cleveland, Tennessee to study political science in a Christian framework. Jim affirms that Matthew's grandfather had expectations for Matthew's behavior. Matthew says his Church affiliation growing up was in the Wesleyan Holiness movement, emphasizing the way you behave to have more of God's influence in your life. Matthew benefited more from mastering the discipline of getting a degree than he did from the particular degree he earned. After school, God opened a door for Matthew to work at the Georgia Association for Career and Technical Education representing teachers of vocational programs in middle school and high school. If there is a need that God has put in our heart to address, then we need to do it with a heart of gratitude. Matthew felt a call to government service so he ran for office and won a seat in the Georgia House. Matthew shares how he was drawn to run for the seat. Matthew respects anybody who steps up to the plate to run for office, as it is not glamorous, fun, or easy. Georgia has a part-time citizen legislature. The 236 men and women serving also hold full-time jobs. For two years, Matthew has been working for NFP, providing insurance benefits. Generally, constituent calls are from people who are unhappy and need help with a complicated matter. As a Christian, Matthew serves others to glorify God and not for personal thanks. Matthew credits his wonderful wife, Danae, who also served in the Georgia House of Representatives, with a great understanding of his burdens. Matthew tells of his 2018 campaign. Because of Matthew's grandfather and family, he was a known entity with credibility in the community. Only one person ran against him. In April 2020, no one ran against Matthew, which was a blessing during the COVID-19 shutdown. Matthew talks about passing a budget and passing bills. There are a lot of steps to passing a bill and it can get torpedoed at any one of them. Matthew describes the steps from writing the bill to passing it and having it signed into law. Matthew explains why it seems that nothing gets done in the Legislature and explains why it takes so long to pass a budget. Jim invites listeners to go to the Georgia House website, linked below. Pull up a bill and look at the vote breakdown. Jim affirms Matthew's willingness to serve God and to serve the citizens of Georgia and expresses gratitude for Mattthew's service. Matthew asserts, as seen in the Bible, when you have righteous leaders, the people are blessed. Matthew prays for righteous people to be called to run for office. It's okay to support certain platforms, but always remember, Jesus is our Savior and our hope. We need to take a more active role in understanding those we send to represent us. Do we represent God as well as we ask our elected officials to represent us? Proverbs 22:1 “A good name is rather to be chosen than great riches, and loving favour rather than silver and gold.” (KJV) Matthew treasures the spiritual inheritance his grandfather left him. What influence is Matthew leaving on those he serves? Jim talks about living up to your word. Your word is more important than money. Matthew is serving where God has called him to serve. He is building relationships to become a more effective representative. He is trying to do his job well. He looks for community and state needs that he can help by introducing a bill. Matthew shares the things he wants to see preserved and protected in Georgia. Matthew wants to protect the U.S. Constitution from those who believe that the United States is fundamentally flawed. Matthew is a proponent of law and order, liberty, and freedom, which we enjoy because of the sacrifices of men and women for generations. In October and November ideas start coming forward for bills for the next legislative session. Georgia residents can contact Matthew with their ideas for changing something, he is all ears.Call to Action: Jim invites men and boys who are looking to engage in society to develop their work ethic through hard, diligent work; start today. Consider Matthew's story of continuing successfully to represent his family and represent God in selflessness.

A short interview following the Faroe Islands National Team's 0-0 draw with Hungary.
Psalm 91 is one of the most powerful of the Psalms written by David speaking of God's deliverance and salvation (Yeshua.) It is God's "911." Satan himself quoted the verse 12 of the Psalm when in the wilderness temptation, he suggested that he through himself off the cliff because angels would lift him up (Luke 4:11-12, Mattthew 4:6-7.) Psalms 41 and 141 both illustrate the characteristics of the person who can have that faith in the deliverance of God. Jesus's response to Satan is one that every Christ follower should take note of, "Do not test the Lord your God." Deception and misdirection often use truth to tell a lie. That was Satan's strategy in his temptation of Jesus, distort Scripture to justify what would have been a sin. Which is why when using Scripture as a support, sometimes the most pernicious lies and horrific doctrine have one tent pole Scripture that they use as a single support. No doctrine, belief, or action should justify itself by one verse. The Bible as a whole has to be taken into account, it all fits together. How many times do we as Christians follow Satan's wilderness path? We claim the promises and deliverance of God but ignore the rest. We reject God's discipline, his guidance, and go our own way instead of submitting to him. (James 4:7.) We do what we know we are not supposed to be doing, throwing ourselves off that cliff, and then go to God, claiming the blood of Jesus and never truly repenting, and go back out and do the same thing again. Dietrich Bonheoffer called that mindset "cheap grace." "Cheap grace is the grace we bestow on ourselves. Cheap grace is the preaching of forgiveness without requiring repentance, baptism without church discipline, Communion without confession…. Cheap grace is grace without discipleship, grace without the cross, grace without Jesus Christ, living and incarnate." - From the Cost of Discipleship The Bible gives us powerful promises of deliverance that we can stand on, but they are for those who submit themselves to God and put their trust in him (Psalm 91:1-2.) If you've been praying with no answer, if it seems like God doesn't hear, that this promise is a lie . . . maybe it is a heart issue . . . your heart, not God's. Have you made God your refuge? (Psalm 91:9, Psalm 141:8) Have you walked in integrity? (Psalm 41:12) Have you set your heart to do and speak right according to what God says and not what man says? (Psalm 141:1-4) Have you truly set your heart after him and his salvation? (Psalm 91:14-16, Matthew 6:33, Luke 12:31) Get real with God and he will be real with God. He will do exactly what he says he will do. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p6pfi4FxA3Y Subscribe on Youtube Psalm 41 1 Blessed is he who considers the poor. The LORD will deliver him in the day of evil. 2 The LORD will preserve him, and keep him alive. He shall be blessed on the earth, and he will not surrender him to the will of his enemies. 3 The LORD will sustain him on his sickbed, and restore him from his bed of illness. 4 I said, “LORD, have mercy on me!

Rip the wrapping paper off the Christmas story and you might just be surprised who and what you find. The unlikely, the unexpected, the unworthy, the undeserving, and the unknown who together make this story unforgettable. This week we spend time with Matthew as he begins to tell the story of Jesus but first we have to understand Mattthew's own story.
Boldness is key to living second. This message involves the testimony of Brian "head" welch, and his struggle to find rest, and to be bold enough to come to Jesus!
