Text: John 1:1–181 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2 He was in the beginning with God. 3 All things were made through him, and without him was not any thing made that was made. 4 In him was life, and the life was the light of men. 5 The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it. 6 There was a man sent from God, whose name was John. 7 He came as a witness, to bear witness about the light, that all might believe through him. 8 He was not the light, but came to bear witness about the light. 9 The true light, which gives light to everyone, was coming into the world. 10 He was in the world, and the world was made through him, yet the world did not know him. 11 He came to his own, and his own people did not receive him. 12 But to all who did receive him, who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God, 13 who were born, not of blood nor of the will of the flesh nor of the will of man, but of God. 14 And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we have seen his glory, glory as of the only Son from the Father, full of grace and truth. 15 (John bore witness about him, and cried out, “This was he of whom I said, ‘He who comes after me ranks before me, because he was before me.'”) 16 For from his fullness we have all received, grace upon grace.17 For the law was given through Moses; grace and truth came through Jesus Christ. 18 No one has ever seen God; God the only Son, who is at the Father's side, he has made him known. INTRODUCTION: A "JESUS" Series Knowing Christ CHRIST BEFORE CHRISTMAS (vv. 1-3)             John 1:1 “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.”           Jesus is the CREATOR           Colossians 1:15-17 15 He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of all creation. 16 For by him all things were created, in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or rulers or authorities—all things were created through him and for him. CHRIST WITH US (vv.14-17)                 John 1:14  14 And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we have seen his glory, glory as of the only Son from the Father, full of grace and truth.  CHRIST REVEALS GOD (v. 18)              John 1:18“No one has ever seen God; the only God, who is at the Father's side, He has made Him known.”Application: What does it mean to me?           Christ is the Creator — Worship Him            Christ is the Savior — Receive Him             Christ is God — Trust HimConclusion

Abiding in Joy: The Joy of Celebrating

The Word for Everyday Disciples with Dave DeSelm

We've been talking about how to build a big connection to Jesus because the stronger the connection, the better the fruit, and the greater the joy. In this message, I want to look at a practice we don't often think about in terms of spiritual rhythms, and that's the practice of celebration—marking moments with joy and gratitude. God understood the power of joyful celebration. God dotted the calendar of His people with it. Regularly, He told His people to stop their work, to gather together, and celebrate.While we no longer are required to honor those feasts, there is still a principle for us to follow. Set aside regular times for celebration. What might that time of celebration look like? Here are three suggestions: Feasting: Feasting was always an important part of the celebrations we read about in the Bible. Indeed, there's just something about preparing and sharing a meal together with family and friends that produces joy. Friends: One author wrote, “One of the greatest keys to a good celebration is to share it with joyful people.”   Fun: There is restorative power in play.Proverbs 17:22 says, “A joyful heart is good medicine…” That's why it's important to make celebration an intentional part of our abiding. Now, I know that there is a lot more to life than fun and games. And I'm fully aware that some of you come into this season in real pain and with real challenges.  But what I'm trying to establish today is that, even in the midst of that seriousness, it's okay to make room for celebration.  It's okay to pursue joy.  In fact, it's more than okay – it's essential.  The joy of the Lord is your strength. (Neh. 8:10)Don't wait until everything is great to celebrate. Begin today. “THIS is the day the Lord has made. Let us rejoice and be glad in it.” (Ps. 118:24) No matter what you're facing, the fact that God is with you and loves you and will see you through the deepest of waters is worthy of celebration.  And that joy will give you strength. Text: John 15:1-11Originally recorded on August 6, 2017, at Fellowship Missionary Church, Fort Wayne, IN

In this series, we've been exploring ways to build a strong connection with Jesus. In John 15, He calls it “abiding” in Him. What we've discovered is that the stronger the connection, the better the fruit and the greater the joy. We've talked about the importance of rest and nutrition in producing good fruit in our lives. Today, we are looking at the necessity of breathing, and the way we do that is through prayer.What word comes to mind when you think of prayer? For some, it's joy! Prayer is a delight. But for others, the word might be bewilderment, frustration, disappointment, or more likely… guilt. But I want to propose that prayer is not a responsibility to be pushed into, but a relationship to be pulled into. Put another way, sustainable prayer comes not from gritting our teeth, but by falling in love.Our God is amazingly relational. And He wants us to share life with you! Our souls were made to walk with God and talk with God.  And when that happens… when we abide like that…all sorts of good things can happen that lead to bearing fruit and knowing joy.God wants to make every moment of your life glorious with His presence. It's not just that God is for us, but that He wants to be with us.  He wants to fill our souls with His presence.Lately, I've been challenging myself with this:  How many moments of my life today can I fill with a conscious awareness of God's presence?  The life of abiding is not a life of more religious activities.  It's a life of inner peace and contentment as you walk with and talk with One who not only loves you but is big enough to see you through whatever you may face.I've also discovered that…the best way to start living life with God is in small moments.Talk to God while watching the sunrise, while taking a walk, or while out fishing.  Converse with Him when stuck in traffic, while waiting on hold, or while washing the dishes.  Celebrate what He has done for you. Thank Him for that which you so often take for granted.And then, before you know it, you'll find yourself sharing with Him those things that concern you.  What are you doing?  You're praying!  However, I'm doing this not out of guilt.  Not out of duty.  But simply as an overflow of my relationship with Him.   Out of your moments of devotion, you will find it natural to offer petition and make intercession.The more we abide with Jesus, the more our prayers align with His will and the more He delights in answering those prayers. Text: John 15:1-11Originally recorded on July 30, 2017, at Fellowship Missionary Church, Fort Wayne, IN
