Deuteronomy 10:12-13 says, "And now, Israel, what does the Lord your God ask of you but to fear the Lord your God, to walk in obedience to him, to love him, to serve the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul, and to observe the Lord’s commands and decrees that I am giving you today for your own good?" (NIV) To fear the Lord is a command with rich meaning. In today's message, Pastor Phil explores what it means to fear the Lord, and then examines the other instructions in this passage.

Zechariah 12:1 NIV “The LORD [is the one] who stretches out the heavens, who lays the foundation of the earth, and who forms the human spirit within a person...” The same one – the same mind — that created the entire universe also specifically created you.

Series: Chaos to CovenantTitle: "What's the Bible all about?" Part 1Scripture: Genesis 6:9-7:24Genesis 8:1a; Matt 24:36-44; Hebrews 11:7-10The Bible is all about God's story. Here, Noah's story is a snapshot of the Bible's grand narrative—a holy God seeking to redeem, restore, and renew fallen creation by a merciful covenant through Jesus Christ. We also see that God's word is trustworthy. Are you on the boat?INTRODUCTIONCONTEXTSERMON OUTLINECONCLUSIONNOTESOUTLINESQUESTIONS TO CONSIDER DISCUSSION QUESTIONSMAIN REFERENCES USEDMy opening prayer: Lord God, help us grow to be and do like Jesus, while abiding in him, and leading others to do the same. INTRODUCTIONOur church deployed a third team to FL this past week for disaster relief in New Port Richey. (Show pics and video)As they recover from hurricane Helene, the folks in western NC probably feel like they've experienced a flood of biblical proportions. But, in fact, they only got a small fraction of what the world experienced in the Noahic flood. How many of each animal did Moses put on the ark? The answer is none because Noah is the one that put the animals on the ark actually, God did. Kind of a silly joke, but in fact, Moses is writing Genesis telling the story of Noah in Genesis six through nine.Let's say you're having lunch with somebody and they ask you the question what is the Bible all about your answer could be basically telling them the story of Noah and the arc because in this story, we see the character of God on display and we see the purpose for which God has Done in creation and a way that explains the macro story of God.CONTEXTSpiraling from the fall into more and more evil, the Way of Cain is dominating the world stage while the Way of Seth is a mere remnant of people. They don't have much of God's word to live on. They don't have the ways of God spelled out to them. They are in need of light in the darkness.But they do have a prophecy. A word from the Lord. (Gen 3:15) A light to hang hope on.After seeing the Way of Cain summarized in Cain's evil genealogy, it's followed by the Way of Seth and his genealogy. Adam and Eve are still alive and watching this unfold with I can't imagine how much guilt and anguish over what they've done. The only thing keeping them alive and sane is the hope in the few words of God in Genesis 3:15, "And I will put enmity between you (Satan) and the woman, and between your offspring and hers (Jesus); he will crush your head, and you will strike his heal (at the cross)."At the beginning of Seth's genealogy, we see God reminding us of how he created us--in his image. We were created God-like. Nothing in all of creation is more like God than humanity. Now we're in a state of dreadful depravity. We're born sinners who are capable of incredibly evil attitudes, words and actions. And we don't have to look far to see not only the truth of that but that we're heading downhill towards a level of evil equal to that just prior to the Flood. But this reminder--that we're created in his image--is there to give us hope. Hope that the Way of Seth--the Way of Jesus--can and will deliver many from sin and death, shame and guilt, hell itself.The whole thing here about the sons of God, daughters of men, and the Nephilim is simply there to show us how bad things had gotten in the world. To show us that “The Lord saw how great the wickedness of the human race had become on the earth, and that every inclination of the thoughts of the human heart was only evil all the time.” (Genesis 6:5 NIV) To show us that things were so bad that God grieved and regretted that he'd created humanity in the first place. As a result, God would wipe out all of creation (except for the ones following the Way of Seth) and re-create the world.SERMON Outline modified from BethancourtI. GOD IS HOLY AND JUST. HE MUST PUNISH SIN. Noah and God's judgment (6:1-22) THIS WEEKA. The purpose of God's judgment (6:1-7)B. The patience of God's judgment (6:8-16)C. The promise of God's judgment (6:17-22)II. GOD IS GRACIOUS AND MERCIFUL. HIS LOVE MAKES A WAY BACK. Noah and God's rescue (7:1-8:19)A. God rescues us from the penalty of his judgment (7:1-16)B. God rescues us from the power of his judgment (7:17-24)C. God rescues us from the presence of his judgment (8:1-19)III. GOD IS SOVEREIGN CREATOR REDEEMING US THROUGH HIS SON'S COVENANT OF LOVE. Noah and God's covenant (8:20-9:29) NEXT WEEKA. The Lord and the covenant with creation (8:20-22)B. The Lord and the covenant with Noah (9:1-11)C. The Lord and the sign of the covenant (9:12-17)D. The Lord and the lineage of the covenant (9:18-29)These are my main points today:The flood story reveals four main characteristics of God. God is... 1. Holy and Just: God judges human wickedness, showing His intolerance for sin. 2. Gracious and Merciful: He offers time for repentance and preserves Noah's family. 3. Faithful to keep his Promises: God promises to sustain creation, never to destroy it by flood again. 4. Sovereign Creator: He controls nature, demonstrating His power to both judge and restore.These qualities reveal a God who is just, merciful, faithful, and sovereign, committed to both righteousness and renewal.Said another way...The story of Noah and the flood reflects the broader story of God in the Bible by capturing key themes of Creator-God, sovereignly creating a good world where humanity sins/falls and reaps judgment. Despite this, merciful God makes a way for wicked humanity to find redemption and restoration through the covenant relationship with Creator-God through Christ Jesus, our Savior.CONCLUSIONWhat do I want them to know?The story of God in macro and how our story fits in micro. Why?Because this is our mission: to show and tell the story of God through our story.What do I want them to do?Show and tell their story in the context of God's story.Why? Because this is why we're still here. This is how we rescue people close to us but far from God.How?By learning this macro story, seeing our story within that context, and then sharing that story with others where we live, work, learn and play.Bottom line: Noah's story is a snapshot of the Bible's grand narrative—a holy God seeking to redeem, restore, and renew fallen creation by a merciful covenant through Jesus Christ. We also see that God's word is trustworthy. Are you on the boat?At the end of the day, my question to you is this: "Are you in the boat?" Is your life protected from God's holy wrath? Have you entered through the only door to salvation? His name is Jesus.““Therefore let all Israel be assured of this: God has made this Jesus, whom you crucified, both Lord and Messiah.” When the people heard this, they were cut to the heart and said to Peter and the other apostles, “Brothers, what shall we do?” Peter replied, “Repent and be baptized, every one of you, in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins. And you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. The promise is for you and your children and for all who are far off—for all whom the Lord our God will call.”” Acts 2:36-39 NIVInvitationHow do we respond? Answer 2 questions:Take out a card or piece of paper right now. Write down the answer to these questions: What is God saying to me right now?What am I going to do about it? Write this down on a sheet of paper. What I hear you saying, Lord, is ___________________.[my name] is going to believe/do __________________________________________________ as a result.Finally, share this with your Home or Mission group this week when you gather as a testimony about what God is doing in your life. You don't have to get too specific to give him praise.PrayNOTESGood summary:"The story of the flood in Genesis (chapters 6–9) tells us much about God's character, values, and the way He engages with humanity. Here are some of the primary ways it reveals who God is:1. God's Justice and Holiness • The flood is a response to human corruption and violence. Genesis 6:5-6 says that God saw the great wickedness on earth and was “grieved” in His heart. God's decision to judge humanity with the flood shows His intolerance of sin and injustice. His holiness requires a world that aligns with His goodness, and the flood was a response to the pervasive moral decay of Noah's time.2. God's Patience and Long-Suffering • While the decision to flood the earth is swift in the biblical account, the story implies that God waited patiently while humanity had a chance to change. Noah was “a preacher of righteousness” (2 Peter 2:5), and his 120 years building the ark can be seen as a period when God gave people a chance to repent. This patience reveals God's mercy, even in His judgment.3. God's Mercy and Covenant Faithfulness • God's decision to save Noah and his family highlights His mercy and commitment to His creation. Although humanity deserved judgment, God chose a path that preserved life. He instructed Noah to bring animals onto the ark, ensuring the survival of all living things. After the flood, God made a covenant with Noah (Genesis 9:8-17), promising never to destroy the earth with water again. The rainbow serves as a symbol of His covenant, highlighting His faithfulness to humanity despite their shortcomings.4. God's Sovereignty and Power Over Creation • The flood narrative shows God's absolute power over creation. He commands the waters to rise and fall, demonstrating His control over the natural world. The floodwaters are a reversal of the order He established at creation, where He separated waters to form dry land. By re-establishing the earth post-flood, God reaffirms His sovereignty as Creator, showing He can both judge and restore.5. God's Desire for a Righteous People • God chooses Noah, “a righteous man, blameless among the people of his time” (Genesis 6:9), and establishes a covenant with him, revealing His desire for a people who walk in righteousness. God's plan for Noah's descendants is one of blessing, hoping they would embody a restored relationship with Him and reflect His justice and goodness on earth.6. God's Grace and Renewal of Creation • After the flood, God gives Noah a mandate similar to Adam's: to “be fruitful and increase in number and fill the earth” (Genesis 9:1). This echoes the original creation mandate, suggesting that God's intention for humanity and creation remains one of growth, flourishing, and harmony. He desires to partner with humanity in caring for and filling the earth with goodness.7. God as a Covenant Maker • The covenant with Noah is foundational, setting a pattern for the covenants God will establish later with Abraham, Moses, and David, and ultimately fulfilled in Christ. The Noahic covenant emphasizes God's promise to preserve creation, foreshadowing the redemptive plan that would unfold over time.In summary, the flood story tells the story of God as a holy and just Judge, yet also as a patient, merciful, and covenant-keeping Creator. It illustrates His commitment to renewal and restoration even in the face of human failure. Through judgment and mercy, God's desire for a faithful, righteous humanity and His love for creation shine through. This story is foundational, pointing forward to God's ongoing work to redeem and renew the world."-ChatGPTThe PatternSee D. J. A. Clines, Catholic Biblical Quarterly, No. 38 (1976), pp. 487, 488. Clines explains that Gerhard Von Rad initially observed a pattern of sin, mitigation, and punishment. Then Claus Westermann discerned another element, that of divine speech. Though he did not include it in the pattern, Clines does. Thus the following chart:I. II. III. IV.

Man, are you digging the Democratic National Convention? Barack Hussein Obama, God bless Rush Limbaugh, got up and read from a teleprompter in his classic cadence. Oh, and Michelle Obama brought the roof down talking about policy. Well, no, sorry. No, they just talked about President Trump.

Ephesians 6:11-13, 17 NIV “Put on the full armor of God, so that you can take your stand against the devil's schemes. For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms. Therefore put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground… Take the helmet of salvation.” Matthew 13:43 NIV “Then the righteous will shine like the sun in the kingdom of their Father.” Colossians 3:1-4 NIV11-GK 1 Since, then, you have been raised with Christ, set your hearts on things above, where Christ is, seated at the right hand of God. …3 For you died, and your life is now hidden with Christ in God. 4 When Christ, who is your life, appears, then you also will appear with him in glory.

Micah Roddy (Pastor to Students), "Act, Love, Walk", Choir, Blended Worship Praise Team (10:45 Service).8. He has shown you, O mortal, what is good. And what does the Lord require of you? To act justly and to love mercyand to walk humbly with your God. (Micah 6:8 NIV)11. But you, man of God, flee from all this, and pursue righteousness, godliness, faith, love, endurance and gentleness. 12. Fight the good fight of the faith. Take hold of the eternal life to which you were called when you made your good confession in the presence of many witnesses. 13. In the sight of God, who gives life to everything, and of Christ Jesus, who while testifying before Pontius Pilate made the good confession, I charge you 14. to keep this command without spot or blame until the appearing of our Lord Jesus Christ, 15. which God will bring about in his own time—God, the blessed and only Ruler, the King of kings and Lord of lords, 16. who alone is immortal and who lives in unapproachable light, whom no one has seen or can see. To him be honor and might forever. Amen. 17. Command those who are rich in this present world not to be arrogant nor to put their hope in wealth, which is so uncertain, but to put their hope in God, who richly provides us with everything for our enjoyment. 18. Command them to do good, to be rich in good deeds, and to be generous and willing to share. 19. In this way they will lay up treasure for themselves as a firm foundation for the coming age, so that they may take hold of the life that is truly life.

Journey Church Sunday Worship Gathering Audio - Bozeman, Montana
Book of Romans: Overview | January 14, 2024Bob Schwahn | Lead Pastor Romans 1:16-17 (NIV)For I am not ashamed of the gospel, because it is the power of God that brings salvation to everyone who believes: first to the Jew, then to the Gentile. For in the gospel the righteousness of God is revealed—a righteousness that is by faith from first to last, just as it is written: “The righteous will live by faith.” 2 Corinthians 5:21 (NIV)God made him who had no sin to be sin for us, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God. Romans 1:5 (NIV)Through him we received grace and apostleship to call all the Gentiles to the obedience that comes from faith for his name’s sake. Romans 1:7 (NIV)To all in Rome who are loved by God and called to be his holy people: Romans 8:1-4 (NIV)Therefore, there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus, because through Christ Jesus the law of the Spirit who gives life has set you free from the law of sin and death. For what the law was powerless to do because it was weakened by the flesh, God did by sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh to be a sin offering. And so he condemned sin in the flesh, in order that the righteous requirement of the law might be fully met in us, who do not live according to the flesh but according to the Spirit. Reflection Questions: Read Romans 1:1-17(Focus on 16-17 This is Paul’s thesis for whole book) Was there one thing that the Holy Spirit highlighted to you personally from the message?Have you ever felt STUCK in your faith? Share that experience. How did it feel? How did you get there? How did you get out?Where would you like to see BREAKTHROUGH in your life right now?The meaning of the word Gospel is “good news”. What is the difference between “good news” and “good advice”? How can understanding the message of the GOSPEL bring breakthrough in a person’s life? How can misunderstanding the GOSPEL keep us STUCK? “The righteousness of God is God’s righteous initiative in putting sinners right with himself, by bestowing on them a righteousness which is not their own, but his.” John Stott What difference does it make that our righteousness is bestowed/declared by God and not accomplished by us? How does this bring breakthrough and freedom to a follow of Jesus?Read Romans 1:5. What is the relationship between faith and obedience? Does genuine faith exist without a heart to obey? Martin Luther said, “We are saved by faith alone, but the faith that saves is never alone.” What did he mean by this? Do you agree or disagree? Why?Where do you need to see the power of the Gospel message take root in your life?What is one next step of obedience you could take to express your faith and trust in the Gospel (Good News) of Jesus?

And the sea was also gone. And I saw the holy city, the new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven like a bride beautifully dressed for her husband. I heard a loud shout from the throne, saying, “Look, God's home is now among his people! He will live with them, and they will be his people. God himself will be with them.

There is a generation that is suffering and walking away from faith in droves. But what if this is largely not because of decisions they have made and are making but because of the decisions and the faith of those who went before them. We are in the midst of a time in History where we need to see a comeback and we must lead from a place of being planted in community and in the word. “The righteous will flourish like a palm tree, they will grow like a cedar of Lebanon; planted in the house of the Lord, they will flourish in the courts of our God. They will still bear fruit in old age, they will stay fresh and green, proclaiming, ‘The Lord is upright; he is my Rock, and there is no wickedness in him.'”Psalm 92:12-15 (NIV)To plug into our daily bible study, text "DLR" to 501-200-3122 and follow the link to sign up.

Dr. Brian Hill (Senior Pastor), "The Very Real Person at the Heart of Communion" (10:45 Service).1. That which was from the beginning, which we have heard, which we have seen with our eyes, which we have looked at and our hands have touched—this we proclaim concerning the Word of life. 2. The life appeared; we have seen it and testify to it, and we proclaim to you the eternal life, which was with the Father and has appeared to us. 3. We proclaim to you what we have seen and heard, so that you also may have fellowship with us. And our fellowship is with the Father and with his Son, Jesus Christ. 4.

Sermon Notes "A fine wedding is pricey, but a fine marriage is priceless." – Dr. David Jeremiah, What the Bible Says About Love, Marriage, and Sex Song of Songs 3:6 NIV Who is this coming up from the wilderness like a column of smoke, perfumed with myrrh and incense made from all the spices of the merchant? Song of Songs 3:7 NIV Look! It is Solomon's carriage, escorted by sixty warriors, the noblest of Israel, Carriage = "mittah" (מִטָּה) = a couch or a bed. Song of Songs 3:8 NIV All of them wearing the sword, all experienced in battle, each with his sword at his side, prepared for the terrors of the night. The groom is going out of his way to make sure his soon-to-be bride feels safe. Genesis 2:18 NIV The Lord God said, "It is not good for the man to be alone. I will make a helper suitable for him." Helper Suitable = ezer kə·neḡ·dōw Genesis 2:19-20 NIV Now the Lord God had formed out of the ground all the wild animals and all the birds in the sky. He brought them to the man to see what he would name them; and whatever the man called each living creature, that was its name. So the man gave names to all the livestock, the birds in the sky and all the wild animals. But for Adam no suitable helper was found. Genesis 2:21-22 NIV So the Lord God caused the man to fall into a deep sleep; and while he was sleeping, he took one of the man's ribs and then closed up the place with flesh. Then the Lord God made a woman from the rib he had taken out of the man, and he brought her to the man. Genesis 2:23 NIV The man said, "This is now bone of my bones and flesh of my flesh; she shall be called 'woman,' for she was taken out of man." Genesis 2:24 NIV That is why a man leaves his father and mother and is united to his wife, and they become one flesh. Genesis 2:25 NIV Adam and his wife were both naked, and they felt no shame. Genesis 3:16 NIV To the woman he said, "I will make your pains in childbearing very severe; with painful labor you will give birth to children. Your desire will be for your husband, and he will rule over you." "Eve is deceived...and rather easily, as my friend Jan Meyers points out. In The Allure of Hope, Jan says, "Eve was convinced that God was withholding something from her." Not even the extravagance of Eden could convince her that God's heart is good. "When Eve was [deceived], the artistry of being a woman took a fateful dive into the barren places of control and loneliness." Now every daughter of Eve wants to "control her surroundings, her relationships, her God." No longer is she vulnerable; now she will be grasping. No longer does she want simply to share in the adventure; now she wants to control it. And as for her beauty, she either hides it in fear and anger, or she uses it to secure her place in the world. "In our fear that no one will speak on our behalf or protect us or fight for us, we start to recreate both ourselves and our role in the story. We manipulate our surroundings so we don't feel so defenseless." Fallen Eve either becomes rigid or clingy. Put simply, Eve is no longer simply inviting. She is either hiding in busyness or demanding that Adam come through for her; usually, an odd combination of both." - John and Stasi Eldredge, Captivating 1 Peter 3:7 NIV Husbands, in the same way be considerate as you live with your wives, and treat them with respect as the weaker partner and as heirs with you of the gracious gift of life, so that nothing will hinder your prayers. Men, are you honoring your bride in your words and actions toward her, and also privately when she is not in the room? Song of Songs 3:9 NIV King Solomon made for himself the carriage; he made it of wood from Lebanon. Carriage = “appiryon” (אַפִּרְיוֹן) a sedan, litter, palanquin Song of Songs 3:10 NIV Its posts he made of silver, its base of gold. Its seat was upholstered with purple, its interior inlaid with love. Daughters of Jerusalem, Song of Songs 3:11 NIV come out, and look, you daughters of Zion. Look on King Solomon wearing a crown, the crown with which his mother crowned him on the day of his wedding, the day his heart rejoiced.
Dr. Brian Hill, "Jesus is the Way", Children's Time, Choir, Blended Worship Praise Team (10:45 Service).9. If you declare with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. 10. For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you profess your faith and are saved. 11. As Scripture says, “Anyone who believes in him will never be put to shame.” 12. For there is no difference between Jew and Gentile—the same Lord is Lord of all and richly blesses all who call on him, 13. for, “Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.” (Romans 10:9-13 NIV)To view a video version of the combined blended service please click on the following link: https://youtu.be/2XvM5Dy_6No
Dr. Brian Hill, "Jesus is the Way". 1. “Do not let your hearts be troubled. You believe in God; believe also in me. 2. My Father's house has many rooms; if that were not so, would I have told you that I am going there to prepare a place for you? 3. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come back and take you to be with me that you also may be where I am. 4. You know the way to the place where I am going.” 5. Thomas said to him, “Lord, we don't know where you are going, so how can we know the way?” 6. Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.

As we dive into a conversation between God and Jeremiah, God says He is both the God who is near and the God who is far away. God loves to come into our life and bring his blessings, but he also calls us out to find him. It is only in intentional seeking the far away God outside our own wants, needs, and desires that you find him and true abundant life.“Am I only a God nearby,” declares the Lord, “and not a God far away? Who can hide in secret places so that I cannot see them?” declares the Lord. “Do not I fill heaven and earth?” declares the Lord.Jeremiah 23:23-24 (NIV)To plug into our daily bible study, text "DLR" to 501-200-3122 and follow the link to sign up.

Hunter Biden's Sweet Deal and Trump's FOX Interview: Contrast and Compare. The DOJ's eight year long obsession with taking out Donald Trump has culminated with what we predicted it would: a criminal prosecution. For now, it is the document case, soon will come the prosecution for leading an “insurrection.” We cannot reasonably assess the latest move by the people who run Joe Biden by pretending the case against Trump stands in a vacuum or that it is about Trump at all. What is on trial, once again, is whether we have laws in America or laws for certain Americans. Where the DOJ has dug through every element of Trump's life, including lying to the un-American FISA Court to illegally gain permission to spy on his associates, the https://thefederalist.com/2023/06/20/did-the-fbi-prevent-delaware-agents-from-investigating-biden-bribery-allegations/ on which he evaded taxes. That money almost certainly came from foreign nations bribing him. Side note: https://thefederalist.com/2023/06/19/how-did-biden-really-make-his-millions-its-time-for-a-special-counsel-to-find-out/. Do we have laws in America or laws for certain Americans? If President Trump did as the DOJ indictment claims--and no one has any reason to believe anything the DOJ says about Trump or Team Trump--and https://legalinsurrection.com/2023/06/trump-denies-having-or-showing-iran-attack-plans-contrary-to-indictment/, that was wrong and ill-considered. Not until after I recorded did I see https://archive.vn/IaXqe#selection-695.0-695.16 about the document case did I find a conservative with a large audience who thought President Trump helped himself with that discussion; https://www.powerlineblog.com/archives/2023/06/six-theses-on-the-trump-indictment-part-5.php. Funny thing, though, I cannot recall FOX Interviewing General Miley about his decision to commit treason by calling his counterpart the Chinese Communist Party Army to assure him that, if the elected civilian leader of America and the Commander-in-Chief of American Armed Forces gave an order to attack China, Miley would warn the CCP in advance. Nor do I remember the DOJ filing charges nor do I recall the Military's version of the DOJ prosecuting Miley. Trump is accused of flashing a document to a writer and a staffer and he faces a decade or more in prison; Miley admits his act of treason and he is still a General and still free to install Communist inspired Critical Theory into the fabric of our military. Do we have laws in America or laws for certain Americans?https://justthenews.com/government/congress/china-likely-sending-military-personnel-us-homeland-chair-says. Gosh … why would a President allow that? If only there was a clue. https://thefederalist.com/2023/06/19/how-did-biden-really-make-his-millions-its-time-for-a-special-counsel-to-find-out/. Do we have laws in America or laws for certain Americans?What does God's Word say? In America, we have as our ultimate law the Constitution. It requires equal treatment under the law for all Americans. We fought a bloody Civil War and endured a long battle after that to assure we lived up to the promise of equal justice. God demands it. https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Romans%2013%3A1-5&version=NIV Let every person be subject to the governing authorities. For there is no authority except from God, and those that exist have been instituted by God. Therefore whoever resists the authorities resists what God has appointed, and those who resist will incur judgment. For rulers are not a terror to good conduct, but to bad. Would you have no fear of the one who is in authority? Then do what is good, and you will receive his approval, for he is God's servant for your good. But if you do wrong, be afraid, for he does not bear the sword in vain. For he is the servant of God, an avenger who carries out God's wrath on the wrongdoer. Therefore one must be in subjection, not only to avoid God's wrath but also for the sake of conscience.God warns against lording power over others.https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=1%20Peter%205%3A1-7&version=NIV To the Elders and the Flock5 To the elders among you, I appeal as a fellow elder and a witness of Christ's sufferings who also will share in the glory to be revealed: 2 Be shepherds of God's flock that is under your care, watching over them—not because you must, but because you are willing, as God wants you to be; not pursuing dishonest gain, but eager to serve; 3 not lording it over those entrusted to you, but being examples to the flock. 4 And when the Chief Shepherd appears, you will receive the crown of glory that will never fade away.5 In the same way, you who are younger, submit yourselves to your elders. All of you, clothe yourselves with humility toward one another, because,“God opposes the proud but shows favor to the humble.”[a]6 Humble yourselves, therefore, under God's mighty hand, that he may lift you up in due time. 7 Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you.Episode 912 Links:- https://archive.vn/IaXqe#selection-695.0-695.16.- https://thefederalist.com/2023/06/19/how-did-biden-really-make-his-millions-its-time-for-a-special-counsel-to-find-out/- https://www.newsbusters.org/blogs/nb/alex-christy/2023/06/20/hunter-gets-indicted-msnbc-attacks-gop-hails-good-news-joe- https://legalinsurrection.com/2023/06/hunter-biden-pleading-guilty-to-firearm-felony-tax-misdemeanors/- https://twitter.com/greg_price11/status/1671148726797180928.- https://twitter.com/tolmanbrett/status/1671150389591441415. - Brett Tolman, Executive Director of @RightonCrime.

Welcome to "The Power Of God's Whisper Podcast," where we dive into the art of listening and responding to God's voice. I'm your host, Matthew Adams, and today, we're focusing on 1 Corinthians 12:7, NIV: "To each one the manifestation of the Spirit is given for the common good." In this episode, we'll explore the importance of our relationships with others in hearing God's voice and experiencing His nature. We'll look at three detailed points to consider as we embrace the interdependence God designed within the body of Christ. Let's get started!While spending time alone with God is vital, it's essential to remember that our relationship with Him is also meant to be experienced through our connections with others. By engaging with fellow believers, we can learn from their journeys, share our own experiences, and ultimately deepen our understanding of God's heart.Point 1: Acknowledge our interdependence God designed us to be interdependent, meaning we need each other to fully experience His nature and hear His voice. Acknowledging our interdependence helps us appreciate the unique gifts, experiences, and perspectives that others bring to our spiritual journey.Point 2: Value the diversity of spiritual gifts Each person has been given different spiritual gifts by the Holy Spirit. Embrace this diversity and recognize the value in others' gifts. This will not only enrich your spiritual life but also help you to better understand God's multifaceted nature and hear His voice in new ways.Point 3: Engage in community and fellowship God's voice is often heard through our connections with others. Engage in community and fellowship by attending church, joining small groups, or participating in service projects. By connecting with fellow believers, we create opportunities for God to speak to us through their experiences and insights.Conclusion: Our connections with others play a vital role in our ability to hear and understand God's voice. Embracing interdependence, valuing the diversity of spiritual gifts, and engaging in community and fellowship will help us experience God's nature more fully and grow in our understanding of His will.Call to Action: This week, make an effort to strengthen your connections with fellow believers. Reach out to a friend, attend a church service, or join a small group where you can share your experiences and learn from others. As you engage with fellow believers, pay attention to how God speaks through their experiences and insights, and share your own journey as well. May your understanding of God's voice grow as you embrace the interdependence He designed within the body of Christ.Thank you for joining us on "The Power Of God's Whisper Podcast." If you enjoyed this episode, please share it with your friends and family, and don't forget to subscribe for more discussions on hearing and responding to God's voice. Until next time, may you experience the power of God's whisper through your connections with others.Let's Pray…Lord, help me to hear Your voice in others —to see past their flaws and into the place where Your Spirit dwells, and to recognize what You are saying through them.My Reasons To Believe is a reader-supported publication.

The world can't live without _______________. [Romans 15:13] I pray that God, the source of hope, will fill you completely with joy and peace because you trust in him. Then you will overflow with confident hope through the power of the Holy Spirit. You can live with hope or you can live with _____________. [Romans 8:24-25] We were given this hope when we were saved. (If we already have something, we don't need to hope for it. [25] But if we look forward to something we don't yet have, we must wait patiently and confidently.) Hope always requires _____________________. [Matthew 1:19-21] Joseph, her fiancé, was a good man and did not want to disgrace her publicly, so he decided to break the engagement quietly. [20] As he considered this, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream. "Joseph, son of David," the angel said, "do not be afraid to take Mary as your wife. For the child within her was conceived by the Holy Spirit. [21] And she will have a son, and you are to name him Jesus, for he will save his people from their sins." We can have hope even when our _____________________ don't change. Christmas reminds us that we can have hope in the _______________ _______________. [Colossians 1:27 NIV] To them God has chosen to make known among the Gentiles the glorious riches of this mystery, which is Christ in you, the hope of glory. My hope is in _________________ not _________________. [John 3:16-17 NLT] [16] "For God loved the world so much that he gave his one and only Son, so that everyone who believes in him will not perish but have eternal life. [17] God sent his Son into the world not to judge the world, but to save the world through him.
Sermon Notes The message of Genesis: God has transformed our evil into something good. Genesis 3:15, 21-23 NIV "(To the serpent) 'And I will put enmity between you and the woman, and between your offspring and hers; he will crush your head, and you will strike his heel.' The Lord God made garments of skin for Adam and his wife and clothed them. And the Lord God said, 'The man has now become like one of us, knowing good and evil. He must not be allowed to reach out his hand and take also from the tree of life and eat and live forever.' So the Lord God banished him from the Garden of Eden to work the ground from which he had been taken." Romans 5:18-19 NIV "Just as one trespass (Adam's sin) resulted in condemnation for all people, so also one righteous act (Jesus' obedience) resulted in justification and life for all people. For just as through the disobedience of the one man (Adam) the many were made sinners, so also through the obedience of the one man (Jesus) the many will be made righteous." God disciplines His children, but He also relentlessly pursues them in love. Genesis 15:17 NIV "When the sun had set, and darkness had fallen, a smoking firepot with a blazing torch appeared and passed between the pieces." "This is what you can do to me if I don't keep my end of the deal." 2 Timothy 2:13 NIV "If we are faithless, he remains faithful, for he cannot disown himself." Galatians 3:7-9 NIV "Understand, then, that those who have faith are children of Abraham. Scripture foresaw that God would justify the Gentiles by faith and announced the gospel in advance to Abraham: 'All nations will be blessed through you.' So those who rely on faith are blessed along with Abraham, the man of faith." Galatians 3:15-16 NIV "Brothers and sisters, let me take an example from everyday life. Just as no one can set aside or add to a human covenant that has been duly established, so it is in this case. The promises were spoken to Abraham and to his seed. Scripture does not say 'and to seeds,' meaning many people, but 'and to your seed,' meaning one person, who is Christ." God is somehow going to use this family to restore the world back to The Garden. Genesis 28:11-12 NIV "When (Jacob) reached a certain place, he stopped for the night because the sun had set. Taking one of the stones there, he put it under his head and lay down to sleep. He had a dream in which he saw a stairway resting on the earth, with its top reaching to heaven, and the angels of God were ascending and descending on it." John 1:50-51 NIV "Jesus said, 'You believe because I told you I saw you under the fig tree. You will see greater things than that.' He then added, 'Very truly I tell you, you will see heaven open, and the angels of God ascending and descending on the Son of Man.'" Revelation 21:1-4 NIV "Then I saw a new heaven and a new earth, for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away, and there was no longer any sea. I saw the Holy City, the new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride beautifully dressed for her husband." Revelation 21:1-4 NIV "And I heard a loud voice from the throne saying, 'Look! God's dwelling place is now among the people, and he will dwell with them. They will be his people, and God himself will be with them and be their God. He will wipe every tear from their eyes. There will be no more death or mourning or crying or pain, for the old order of things has passed away.'" God really loves us!
