Scripture: https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Acts%209%3A1-28&version=NIV (Acts 9:1-28) SHOW NOTES: Life's Journeys will bring us face to face with difficult people, even cruel people. Last time we met Saul, a leading Pharisee in Jerusalem, zealous for the Law, and persecuting men and women who were following Jesus. He was determined this new message would not spread any further into Judaism. Saul travels from Jerusalem to Damascus when suddenly a light from heaven shone around him. He fell to the ground and heard a voice speaking to him. “Why are you persecuting me?” For three days, he could not see, and he waited in a house in Damascus. Then, the Lord spoke to Ananias, “Go, for this man is now a chosen instrument of mine.” The purpose of Saul's journey was rerouted, and he was now “called” to be a messenger of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Saul's entire life was changed! SONG: "The God Who Stays" - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KHMVSdIjBcg (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KHMVSdIjBcg)

Scripture: https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Acts+8%3A1-3%2C+18%3A3%2C+22%3A3-4%2C+26%3A9&version=NIV (Acts 8:1-3, 18:3, 22:3-4, 26:9) SHOW NOTES: In the time period of the early Church, we meet a Pharisee named Saul. Later in his life, He makes this statement, “I myself have reason for confidence in the flesh … circumcised on the eighth day, of the people of Israel, of the tribe of Benjamin, a Hebrew of Hebrews; as to the law, a Pharisee; as to zeal, a persecutor of the church; as to righteousness under the law, blameless” (Phil. 3:4-6). The new believers in Jerusalem were greatly afraid of the zealous work of this man. He was a leader in the great persecution of the Church in Jerusalem – arresting, binding men and women, and having them imprisoned. But we know God had His eye on this very zealous follower of the Law. No matter where you find yourself today … know beyond a shadow of a doubt that you can come to the Lord … just as you are!

Scripture: https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Acts%2016%3A11-40&version=NIV (Acts 16:11-40) Title: Open Your Heart SHOW NOTES: This chapter in Acts is the only time we meet Lydia. Her life journey brought her from Thyatira to Philippi for her business ventures – we don't know all the details. But an important part of her life was to gather for prayer by the river. Here, she sought a true relationship with God. While on their journey, God led Paul and Silas to this group of women, and they shared the good news of Jesus Christ. And the Lord opened her heart. This church in the city of Philippi also grew when the jailer and his household believed in God and were saved. It is our sincere prayer that you will “Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ” and continue to Walk with God.

God's Word is filled with the journeys of real people and there is much wisdom and insight for us to glean from them. We have looked at Joseph's journey and now we will turn the pages in our Bibles to the book of Exodus – the journey of Moses. Joseph's story and Moses' story intersect with each other. Joseph was in Egypt when Jacob's family arrives and Moses will lead the people of Israel out of Egypt. But first, a baby boy in a basket floating in the Nile River. Moses, adopted by Pharaoh's daughter, will receive a royal education – academic, military, and leadership training. When Moses defends a Hebrew man and murders an Egyptian, he faces a major twist in his journey. He now must flee because Pharaoh seeks to kill Moses.

Imagine a scene the Bible describes before the very throne of God in…Revelation 4:8-10 (NIV)Each of the four living creatures had six wings and was covered with eyes all around, even under its wings. Day and night they never stop saying:“‘Holy, holy, holyis the Lord God Almighty,'who was, and is, and is to come.”Whenever the living creatures give glory, honor and thanks to him who sits on the throne and who lives for ever and ever, the twenty-four elders fall down before him who sits on the throne and worship him who lives for ever and ever. They lay their crowns before the throne and say: Then…Revelation 4:11 (NIV)“You are worthy, our Lord and God, to receive glory and honor and power, for you created all things, and by your will they were created and have their being.” We know from physics that your physical body is composed of atoms arranged differently into molecules to form different kinds of physical realities in your body. Different tissues. Cells. An atom is composed of a nucleus with electrons revolving around it. The nucleus of an atom is 200,000 times smaller than the diameter of the atom. The electrons are many times smaller than the nucleus. In other words an atom consists of millions of times more space than solid matter. Because atoms are in fact mostly empty space, most of your body is empty space. But we see it and feel it as solid. You can't see the atoms because they are way too small. But they are very real. So if you imagine right now your body comprised of and full of unseen atoms — the DNA and RNA in your cells throughout your body — but there is mostly empty space between the atoms that comprise your body — when you use your imagination to see and feel your body this way, you're experiencing something that's very real but unseen. And that's what you're doing when you're using your imagination to experience and feel God in you and always with you. Colossians 1:16-17 (NIV) Acts 17:28 Romans 11:36 (NIV) 1 Corinthians 8:6 (NIV) Every atom in your body owes its existence and its current presence to the presence of God right now in this moment. You don't create yourself. You don't live for your glory. Your will. You exist because it was God‘s will for you to exist in his universe – forever. The forever God wanted to be your God forever. This is why he gave you you're being. This is why you have your being right now in this moment. The forever God is your God forever! And that reality can put joy and gladness into your whole body right now in this moment.“You are worthy, our Lord and God, to receive glory and honor and power, for you created all things, and by your will they were created and have their being.”“For in him all things were created: things in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, …all things have been created through him and for him. He is before all things, and in him all things hold together.”“In him we live and move and have our being.” This is a tremendous relief. Understanding this kills anxiety. The fight or flight of living for your own glory. Falsely believing your life depends on the perfection of your will. Your power. You can just let go of so much anxiety and fear and insecurity and anger and fight or flight central nervous system living. Rest in God's lordship. Power. Presence. Will for you.

Love, Acceptance, and Celebrating Differences: Tauren Wells and John Siebeling & Wayne Francis

Jesus Calling: Stories of Faith

When it comes to loving others, we sometimes have to stretch ourselves to honor the commands that Jesus has about love. How can I love someone who is so different from me, we might ask ourselves? How can I love someone who I don't understand and who doesn't understand me? In our daily lives, it's natural for us to make bonds with people who are like us, who have our same values, who believe like us. It can be tempting to live in that bubble and *think* that we are practicing love. But Jesus calls us to do more. He asks that “all we do be done in love.” If we can remember that before each conversation we have, before each decision we make in regards to others, as we measure the words and actions that we speak and do each day, we'll find that a life lived in love will bring healing, reconciliation and benefits to us that we could have never imagined. Our guests this week are deliberate about taking a posture of love toward what they do in the world. Tauren Wells is a musician, songwriter and speaker who encourages us to recognize God's love in all that we do and say, and pastor and writers John Siebeling and Wayne Francis have purposefully made unconditional love a part of how they welcome people of all kinds into their churches, and now they're building off of that to bring people together to have conversations about love, acceptance, and race.

And I don't think that the presence of God is a fun-free zone.” - Tauren Wells “If we're really trying to make our churches diverse and multicultural, it's not just having people in the room that look like the culture we want. It's creating the pieces of fabric that make up those cultures and weaving them into the faith community that we're building.” - Tauren Wells “The key to moving forward beyond some of the racial tension that we've seen is just super open-handed, open-hearted conversations. And when you have an open heart and you have an open hand, you sit down with somebody that's different from you and you get the opportunity to see and hear their heart and their perspective. You grow and you learn.” - John Siebeling “We're not just trying to empower white people to have these conversations. We're empowering black people, people of color, how to have these conversations in a way that's life giving. And it blends us, moves us closer together toward the vision that we see in scripture, which is one nation, one people, one tribe.” - Wayne Francis “We have to keep the condition of the soul right so that even when we're angry, we can communicate in ways that don't blow everything up…canceling people is not the way that we move the conversation forward.” - Wayne Francis “The Bible says, ‘Pray without ceasing.' That means somehow, even in the midst of work and working out and cooking and doing all that we're doing, we are communing with God.” - John Siebeling “Diversity isn't reserved for heaven.” - Wayne Francis ________________________ Enjoy watching these additional videos from Jesus Calling YouTube channel: Audio Playlist: https://bit.ly/2PrbuwH Video Playlist: https://bit.ly/2PsmEkJ What's Good?

Bible Reading: John 3:16-18, 36Passenger trains no longer came through the little town of Judson, but for the city's anniversary celebration, a train was running on the old tracks once again. "Look, Dad!" exclaimed Brandon, pointing to a sign. "Free rides!" Dad read aloud. "Climb aboard and enjoy an old-fashioned train ride to Rock Island." So Brandon and Dad got on the train.After they sat on the tracks for a while, Brandon asked, "Shouldn't we be going by now?"Dad looked around. "Maybe they're waiting for more people to get on."Just then a conductor stepped into the car. "Guess you folks didn't read the sign carefully," he said. "This car's not going anywhere.""How come?" asked Brandon in surprise. "It's on a side track and isn't hooked up to an engine," the man explained. "The train on the main track is the one we're using. It will be back soon, and then you can have a ride."Brandon and his father felt a little foolish as they and several others got off the train to wait. "We got on that train fully expecting a ride to Rock Island, but we didn't get there," Dad observed. "We were on the wrong track and weren't attached to the engine." He smiled at Brandon. "You know, this isn't the first time I've done something like this." "It's not?" asked Brandon. "You mean you've sat on the wrong track before?""Yes," Dad said. "For many years!" Brandon's eyes widened. "Years?" He couldn't imagine waiting that long for the train to move.Dad nodded. "When I was a young man, I was convinced that because I attended church regularly and tried to live a good life, I would go to heaven. I fully expected that my good deeds would get me there. But what I didn't realize until years later was that I was sitting on the wrong track. I wasn't connected to the engine.""Being connected to the engine means trusting in Jesus, doesn't it?" Brandon said. "Yes," said Dad. "Only He can save us from sin and give us eternal life. We won't go anywhere without Him."Hearing a train whistle, Brandon and Dad looked up and saw their train coming. "We're hooked up to the engine now," Brandon said as they boarded the train. "So we're going somewhere this time!" (Ruth I. Jay)How About You?Are you on the right track to heaven--are you connected to the engine?The Bible doesn't say you get to heaven by going to church, giving to the poor, being kind and helpful, or doing other good things. It says you must trust in God's Son, Jesus. You must be connected to Him. Trust Jesus as your Savior today!

Today, Dave talks with Denny Spitters and Matthew Ellison. Denny and Matthew are the authors of When Everything is Missions and editors of the companion text titled, Conversations on When Everything is Missions. The discussion revolves around the danger of labeling everything as missions in the church and understanding how important it is to grasp accurate terminology. They examine Acts 1:8 and the problem with “your Jerusalem” terminology as well as how mobilization is hindered when we lose sight of a correct definition of missions. Some topics discussed on the show: Why did you write, When Everything is Missions? How did the companion book, Conversations on When Everything is Missions come about? Who are some of the contributing authors? How do we as mobilizers and missions pastors correct the narrative that everything is missions? Please share with us some testimonies about how pastors/churches shifted their definition of missions and the results of that.

"What are we doing today, Megan?""I want to donate my hair to help make a wig for a kid with cancer," Megan replied.Sharon looked at Megan and her mom. "You've been growing out your hair for a long time. Are you positive this is what you want to do?"Megan nodded. "Kelcey, my best friend, has cancer. During her treatments she'll lose all her hair, but she'll get a wig to wear while her hair grows back. Her mom said some charities provide free wigs to kids who lose their hair during cancer treatments. I know there's not enough time for Kelcey to get my hair, but some other kid will someday.""What a blessing you're giving someone," Sharon said. "How short do you want your hair?""Shoulder length would be okay," Megan said."You need at least twelve inches to donate. It looks close, but we must be sure."Sharon measured. Megan's hair was one inch too short to keep her hair shoulder length."What do you want to do, Megan?" Mom asked.Megan stared at the mirror. She took a deep breath. "I could wait and let my hair grow a little longer." She paused. "But I won't. Cut my hair as short as you need to so I can donate it now."Sharon washed, dried, remeasured, and cut ponytails of Megan's hair. They carefully wrapped the hair in tissue paper and prepared it for donating."Before we send my hair away, I want to pray for the child who will wear the wig with my hair in it," Megan said."Great idea," Sharon said.They all put their hands on the package and prayed together. Then Sharon got busy on Megan's new hairstyle.Megan spun the chair around and looked at her new hairdo in the mirrors. "I love it! And even more, I love that my hair will help someone in need."Mom nodded. "What you've done reminds me of what Jesus did for us. He sacrificed Himself to make us whole, and when a child facing cancer gets the wig with your hair, I'm sure they'll feel a little more whole too." Lynda BoucherHow About You?Have you helped someone who had a need? Maybe it was simply lending a classmate a pencil in school. Or perhaps it was something bigger that required more sacrifice.

You did not renounce your faith in me, not even in the days of Antipas, my faithful witness, who was put to death in your city—where Satan lives. 14 Nevertheless, I have a few things against you: There are some among you who hold to the teaching of Balaam, who taught Balak to entice the Israelites to sin so that they ate food sacrificed to idols and committed sexual immorality.

A faking faith Revelation 3:1 “To the angel of the church in Sardis write: These are the words of him who holds the seven spirits of God and the seven stars. I know your deeds; you have a reputation of being alive, but you are dead. (NIV) 4. A lukewarm faith Revelation 3:15-17 I know your deeds, that you are neither cold nor hot. I wish you were either one or the other! 16 So, because you are lukewarm—neither hot nor cold—I am about to spit you out of my mouth. 17 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. (NIV) 2 Revival starters 1. A repenting faith Revelation 2:5 Consider how far you have fallen! Repent and do the things you did at first. If you do not repent, I will come to you and remove your lampstand from its place. (NIV) Revelation 2:22 So I will cast her on a bed of suffering, and I will make those who commit adultery with her suffer intensely, unless they repent of her ways.

Afterlife IV – 2 Resurrections 2 Judgements & the 2nd death

https://youtu.be/n8bvHcVu_5Q There is more to the afterlife than heaven & hell. Do you know about the 2 resurrections? How about the 2 judgments? Well, what about the 2nd death? God has so much to show us in His Word! Let's gain this knowledge and be ready for the return of Jesus Christ! Chris Fluitt Welcome back To Redemption Church in Plano TX! This is the 4th week of the afterlife series. My name is Chris Fluitt; I am so happy to share the Word of God with you today. . Do not fear! Someone told me the other day that they have fear about the afterlife and this was an area of great concern… but the knowledge of God's Word has now brought them confidence after learning more about the coming rapture & millennial kingdom. The Afterlife is a lot more than just Heaven & Hell The afterlife is a little more complicated than you might think. Most people are curious as to what happens after this life; be assured, the Bible gives us answers. We have been working together to create an afterlife timeline. AFTERLIFE TIMELINE 4 If you have any questions about this timeline, you need to check out the first 3 messages. You can find them all at www.redemptionplano.com. I am certain that more than a few of you are going to learn something new about the afterlife, today. Today I am taking about the 2 Resurrections, 2 judgments, & the 2nd death Last week we talked about the 2nd coming of Jesus. God likes his 2's. If you read your 2nd (new) testament you will learn about the 2nd (last) Adam and all that He did to give you a 2nd birth. Your Bible speaks of 2 Resurrections. I did not say Rapture.. I said Resurrections. There will be a series of Resurrections: specifically, 2 resurrections. Daniel prophecies the resurrection. Daniel 12:1 "At that time Michael, the great prince who protects your people, will arise. There will be a time of distress such as has not happened from the beginning of nations until then. But at that time your people--everyone whose name is found written in the book--will be delivered.(NIV) So where on our timeline is this verse placed? AFTERLIFE TIMELINE 4 [What is “a time of distress not seen before?” The 7 year tribulation!] Daniel 12:2 Multitudes who sleep in the dust of the earth will awake: some to everlasting life, others to shame and everlasting contempt.(NIV) Let's point out 3 things! Resurrection from the dead is not just a New Testament idea. The prophets of old knew Messiah would raise the dead.Although this great number is Resurrected, they do not all go to the same place.Some to everlasting life (sounds like heaven)Some to shame & everlasting contempt (sounds like Hell)Remember that this resurrection is tied to end-time prophecy. The scripture in context was speaking of tribulation and of those that are delivered. That gives us a time frame. {Other verses pointing to plural resurrections} Luke 14:14 and you will be blessed. Although they cannot repay you, you will be repaid at the resurrection of the righteous."(NIV) Acts 24:15 and I have the same hope in God as these men, that there will be a resurrection of both the righteous and the wicked.(NIV) John 5:28 "Do not be amazed at this, for a time is coming when all who are in their graves will hear his voice (NIV) John 5:29 …and come out--those who have done good will rise to live, and those who have done evil will rise to be condemned.(NIV)} Revelation 20 marks the end of the tribulation and the beginning of the millennial reign... it says something curious. Revelation 20:4 I saw thrones on which were seated those who had been given authority to judge. And I saw the souls of those who had been beheaded because of their testimony for Jesus and because of the word of God. They had not worshiped the beast or his image and had not received his mark on their foreheads or their hands. They came to life and reigned with Christ a thousand years.(NIV)

By the Word He created the things that were made . . . rightly and fittingly the Word is the Son . . .

Lent is a period of times when we stop the clock, when we pause, is a time when we ask God, is my normal dangerous? Infinite desire+Finite reality=Restlessness. Mark 6:31 “Then, because so many people were coming and going that they did not even have a chance to eat, he said to them, “Come with me by yourselves to a quiet place and get some rest.””‭‭Mark‬ ‭6:31‬ ‭NIV‬‬ Acts 1:7-8Jesus said “Do nothing until.....” Rest is part of our lives. Jesus modeled a “Rhythm of rest”Sabbath- exodus 20:8-11 Sabbath elements 1 Stop-cease working 2 Rest. Physical Mental/emotional Spiritual 3 delight- activities that bring joy. 4 worship-re surrender to Jesus. Sabbath principle “God can do more with less, than I could ever do with more.”Deuteronomy 18:11-18 “or casts spells, or who is a medium or spiritist or who consults the dead. Anyone who does these things is detestable to the Lord; because of these same detestable practices the Lord your God will drive out those nations before you. You must be blameless before the Lord your God. The nations you will dispossess listen to those who practice sorcery or divination. But as for you, the Lord your God has not permitted you to do so. The Lord your God will raise up for you a prophet like me from among you, from your fellow Israelites. You must listen to him. For this is what you asked of the Lord your God at Horeb on the day of the assembly when you said, “Let us not hear the voice of the Lord our God nor see this great fire anymore, or we will die.” The Lord said to me: “What they say is good. I will raise up for them a prophet like you from among their fellow Israelites, and I will put my words in his mouth. He will tell them everything I command him.”‭‭Deuteronomy‬ ‭18:11-18‬ ‭NIV‬‬ Sabbath practice Feasting. Walking/hiking. Outdoors/time in nature. Napping/resting. Reading/music. Time together with family and friends. Time alone with God. Ways to be generous. Motivations to do driven with gratitude. Things that make you smile and fuel your joy. Creative expressions of worship to God.

Ps. Jeremy Johnson | During the height of the Coronavirus pandemic, Pastor Jeremy Johnson made the decision to not be lead by fear but by faith. The church gathered online and listened in on a new sermon series Pastor Jeremy decided to deliver: “This Is My Level Up!” In this sermon, our Pastor laid out what it takes to be the pastor of your home and how a leader should respond in times such as these. Some of the points discussed included, “The Word of God will protect you against fear,” “God is not surprised by this, nor is he worried,” and, of course, “This is my level up!” We hope that this podcast inspires you for whatever season of crisis you’re going through. Whether it be a missed loan payment or a global pandemic, feel at peace that Jesus is with you in the midst of it all, and He is in control.
