YOU HAVE AN ANOINTING | Preaching Aug 21   INTRO   Romans 8:15 For you did not receive the spirit of bondage again to fear, but you received the Spirit of adoption by whom we cry out, “Abba, Father.”   BUT what does that really mean. What is God's standard for Fathering? If you have my history or my wife's history…   Psalm 68:5-6 “A Father to the fatherless, a defender of widows, is God in his holy dwelling. God sets the lonely in families, he leads the prisoners with singing.   We bear witness   EVEN IF YOU HAD A GOOD FATHER, GOD IS PERFECT   When I inquired about His heart for today He reminded me: 

The Hard Truth Is --- The Bible Doesn't Mention That Joseph Did Anything Wrong.  Throughout The Course Of My Life, Fear Of Rejection Was Something That Ruled Over Me. You See, My Mom Was A Bit Of A Perfectionist. It Rubbed Off On Me As Well. Most Times Whenever Things Weren't Fashioned/Executed The Way She Liked Them, She'd Make You Feel It. Sometimes With Aggressive Words--- Sometimes Literally. You Might Be Asking What This Has To Do With Anything. I Wouldn't Turn Down The Idea Of It Being The Root Cause Of What Was Once My Greatest Fear. I Wanted Everything I Cared About To Be Perfect. I Never Wanted To Make A Mistake (Ever). I Could Never Tarnish My Image With Something As Humane As A Mistake. Lol. My Mother's Discipline Programmed Me To The Rationale That All Mistakes Led To Extreme Consequences. In Effect, I Adapted This Concept And Applied It To All My Relationships. Due To The Validation I Sought Out In Everyone I Came Across, It Led To Me Being A People Pleaser As Well. See The Only Times Things Went Smooth, Were When My Mother Was Happy. Otherwise, (Let's Just Say You'd Know.) To Minimize Confrontation, You Had To Follow Her Rules To A Tee. Like I Said Before, She Was A Perfectionist. I Now Realize That This May Have Something To Do With The Reason I Used To Over Exert Myself In Relationships Where The Effort And Energy I Was Putting In Wasn't Reciprocated. I Was Programmed To Believe That If The Other Party Wasn't Happy, Then It Had Something To Do With Me --- That I Was The Problem. How Wrong Was I? As A Child, Religion Was Forced On Me. I Was In Church Up Until 9th Or 10th Grade. The Seeds Of The Word Of God Were Years Instilled In Me; However God-Like Principles Weren't Necessarily Being Modeled In Front Of Me. In Effect, They Didn't Strongly Resonate With Me Growing Up. With That Being Said, I Was Totally Ignorant To The Idea Of God's Grace. Or Being "In His Favor." My Upbringing Was Strongly Rooted In Pride, So It Made It Very Hard For Me To Accept Anything That I Hadn't Felt Like I'd Earned. My Life Revolved Around My Accomplishments And Accolades. This Caused Me To Resent Or Sometimes Even Self Sabotage Certain People And Things That I Would Consider Resourceful Or Beneficial To My Life. As The Saying Goes: Damaged People, Damage People. When I First Gave My Life To God, I Was Still Operating Out Of My Childhood Traumas. Because Of This, I Served God With The Same Approach That I Served Others With. I Tried Earning His Approval --- Trying To Make Him Happy Through My Works. When I Felt Like I Was Doing Enough To Make Him Happy, I Was Content. Whenever I'd Sin, I'd Feel Like He Hated Me. Since Then, I've Been Continuously Growing In My Faith. With The Passing Of Each Day, I Am Gaining More And More Of An Understanding Of What God Means In Jeremiah 1:5, When He Says, "Before I Formed You In The Womb I Knew You, Before You Were Born I Set You Apart; I Appointed You As A Prophet To The Nations.” Immediately After Jesus' Baptism, God Declared, “This Is My Son, Whom I Love; With Him I Am Well Pleased.” The Lord Approved Jesus Before He Even Began His Ministry. Before Any Miracle. I Now Recognize That This Same Authorization Applies To Me And You As Well. Recently, God Closed A Chapter In The Book Of My Life And Ever Since, Things Have Been Strangely Looking Up For Me. It Almost Seems Too Good To Be True If I'm Being Honest. For The Past Couple Of Weeks, I've Been Staying In Gary Indiana, Trying To Wrap My Head Around What God Is Currently Doing In My Life. I Encourage You All To Tune In And Hear For Yourself How God Has Been Actively Working In, Around, And Through Me In The Last Year. Hopefully, My Story Will Inspire Someone, Somewhere, So That They Too Chase Him --- Chase Him Hard. Harder Than Anything Else In Life. God Bless !!!

Jesus' baptism marks the official start of his public ministry, which quickly launched him from relative obscurity to become the most influential, polarizing, and important figure in the history of the world. The post This Is My Son appeared first on Intown Lutheran Church.

Matthew 28, MSG,CEV- God authorized and commanded Me to commission you: Go out and train everyone you meet in this way of life, marking them by baptism in the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, and teach them to do everything I have told you. Now as with everything pertaining to Jesus and His Kingdom, faith is the constant. At the end of the day, you’ve got to believe this stuff!! And it starts with this, we’ve been commissioned, entrusted with supervisory authority by Jesus Himself, for a specific action. This assignment is ultimately about creating disciples that openly acknowledge our allegiance and reliance in Christ. I believe that everything Jesus did with His life on the planet was not only pointing to what He was about to accomplish on the cross, but showing us what humanity, anointed by the Holy Spirit is supposed to look like. As we go into chapter 13, Jesus begins revealing one of the foundational principles of how the Kingdom of Heaven operates in the parable of the sower. Matthew 13:10-13,NKJV-  “And the disciples came and said to Him, “Why do You speak to them in parables?” He answered and said to them, “Because it has been given to you to know the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven, but to them it has not been given. For whoever has, to him more will be given, and he will have abundance; but whoever does not have, even what he has will be taken away from him. Therefore I speak to them in parables, because seeing they do not see, and hearing they do not hear, nor do they understand.” As Jesus explains this parable, in Mark’s version He says this, “He who has ears to hear, let him. Then He goes on to say, if you don’t understand this parable, you won’t understand any of them. Luke’s writing of this account lets us know that the seed is the word of God. Matthew 13:19-23,NKJV-  “When anyone hears the word of the kingdom, and does not understand it, then the wicked one comes and snatches away what was sown in his heart. This is he who received seed by the wayside. v.20, But he who received the seed on stony places, this is he who hears the word and immediately receives it with joy; v.21, yet he has no root in himself, but endures only for a while. For when tribulation or persecution arises because of the word, immediately he stumbles. v.22, Now he who received seed among the thorns is he who hears the word, and the cares of this world and the deceitfulness of riches choke the word, and he becomes unfruitful. v.23, But he who received seed on the good ground is he who hears the word and understands it, who indeed bears fruit and produces: some a hundredfold, some sixty, some thirty.” Throughout this chapter Jesus repeatedly tells us through different parables about what the Kingdom of Heaven is like. Then in chapter 14 He once again displayed the Kingdom in operation. Matthew 14:16-20,NKJV- “But Jesus said to them, “They do not need to go away. You give them something to eat.” And they said to Him, “We have here only five loaves and two fish.” He said, “Bring them here to Me.” Then He commanded the multitudes to sit down on the grass. And He took the five loaves and the two fish, and looking up to heaven, He blessed and broke and gave the loaves to the disciples; and the disciples gave to the multitudes. So they all ate and were filled, and they took up twelve baskets full of the fragments that remained.” Jesus walks on water as well as Peter. And once again, “As many as were brought to Him were healed.” Matthew 15:11,NKJV- “Not what goes into the mouth defiles a man; but what comes out of the mouth, this defiles a man.” Matthew 15 also shows us the only other account Jesus referred to as “great faith.” v.28,“Then Jesus answered and said to her, “O woman, great is your faith! Let it be to you as you desire.” And her daughter was healed from that very hour.” Once again in chapter 15, Jesus heals all the sick that came to Him.Matthew 16, Pharisees seek a sign. Jesus warns disciples about Pharisee’s teachings. Matthew 16:15, “He said to them, “But who do you say that I am?” v.19,NLT-“And I will give you the keys of the Kingdom of Heaven. Whatever you forbid on earth will be forbidden in heaven, and whatever you permit on earth will be permitted in heaven.” v.23,NLT- Jesus turned to Peter and said, “Get away from me, Satan! You are a dangerous trap to me. You are seeing things merely from a human point of view, not from God’s.” Then Jesus once again reminds everyone that when He returns He will reward each person according to their work. Matthew 17:1-3,NKJV- Now after six days Jesus took Peter, James, and John his brother, led them up on a high mountain by themselves; and He was transfigured before them. His face shone like the sun, and His clothes became as white as the light. And behold, Moses and Elijah appeared to them, talking with Him. V.5, “THIS IS MY SON, HEAR HIM!!” Matthew 17:14-20,NKJV- And when they had come to the multitude, a man came to Him, kneeling down to Him and saying, 15, “Lord, have mercy on my son, for he is an epileptic and suffers severely; for he often falls into the fire and often into the water. 16, So I brought him to Your disciples, but they could not cure him.” 17, Then Jesus answered and said, “O faithless and perverse generation, how long shall I be with you? How long shall I bear with you? Bring him here to Me.” 18, And Jesus rebuked the demon, and it came out of him; and the child was cured from that very hour. 19, Then the disciples came to Jesus privately and said, “Why could we not cast it out?” 20, So Jesus said to them, “Because of your unbelief; for assuredly, I say to you, if you have faith as a mustard seed, you will say to this mountain, ‘Move from here to there,’ and it will move; and nothing will be impossible for you.” V.27, Jesus paid their taxes supernaturally  Matthew 18, Who’s the greatest in the Kingdom? v.4, Therefore, whoever humbles himself as this little child is the greatest in the kingdom.  Chapter 19, Jesus counsels the rich young ruler; v.21-24,NKJV- Jesus said to him, “If you want to be perfect, go, sell what you have and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven; and come, follow Me.” 22, But when the young man heard that saying, he went away sorrowful, for he had great possessions. 23, Then Jesus said to His disciples, “Assuredly, I say to you that it is hard for a rich man to enter the kingdom of heaven. 24, And again I say to you, it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God.”Chapter 21, Jesus cleanses the temple, then once again He heals al that come to Him. v.21,NKJV- “So Jesus answered and said to them, “Assuredly, I say to you, if you have faith and do not doubt, you will not only do what was done to the fig tree, but also if you say to this mountain, ‘Be removed and be cast into the sea,’ it will be done.” At the end of the day, we’ve got to believe this stuff!! We have to believe we’ve been commissioned, entrusted with supervisory authority by Jesus Himself, for a specific action. This assignment is creating disciples that openly acknowledge our allegiance and reliance in Christ. I believe that everything Jesus did with His life on the planet was showing us what humanity, anointed by the Holy Spirit is supposed to look like.

Jesus – The Way. The Truth. The Life | Part 2 - This Is My Son 2.0 By Dusty Van Niekerk - Welcome to our CityHill Church podcast. You are listening to our current preaching series, Jesus – The Way. The Truth. The Life. In this series we explore Matthew chapters 16 and 17, unpacking the revelation of Jesus, who He is and all that He teaches us. We all need a greater revelation of Jesus to break free of our earthly way of thinking. 

MATTHEW 3:11-17 WEEK 1 – I Can Only Imagine Series IMAGINE A LOVING FATHER In verses 11-12 John is speaking as he says, “I BAPTIZE YOU WITH WATER FOR REPENTANCE. BUT AFTER ME COMES ONE WHO IS MORE POWERFUL THAN I, WHOSE SANDALS I AM NOT WORTHY TO CARRY. HE WILL BAPTIZE YOU WITH THE HOLY SPIRIT AND FIRE. HIS WINNOWING FORK IS IN HIS HAND, AND HE WILL CLEAR HIS THRESHING FLOOR, GATHERING HIS WHEAT INTO THE BARN AND BURNING UP THE CHAFF WITH UNQUENCHABLE FIRE.” - MATTHEW 3:11-12 Let’s read: THEN JESUS CAME FROM GALILEE TO THE JORDAN TO BE BAPTIZED BY JOHN. BUT JOHN TRIED TO DETER HIM, SAYING, “I NEED TO BE BAPTIZED BY YOU, AND DO YOU COME TO ME?” JESUS REPLIED, “LET IT BE SO NOW; IT IS PROPER FOR US TO DO THIS TO FULFILL ALL RIGHTEOUSNESS.” THEN JOHN CONSENTED. - MATTHEW 3:13-15 Verses 16-17 say, AS SOON AS JESUS WAS BAPTIZED, HE WENT UP OUT OF THE WATER. AT THAT MOMENT HEAVEN WAS OPENED, AND HE SAW THE SPIRIT OF GOD DESCENDING LIKE A DOVE AND ALIGHTING ON HIM. AND A VOICE FROM HEAVEN SAID, “THIS IS MY SON, WHOM I LOVE; WITH HIM I AM WELL PLEASED.” - MATTHEW 3:16-17 1. GOD IDENTIFIES WITH JESUS. Not only does God identify with Jesus, God identifies with us through Jesus. Galatians 3:26-29 says, SO IN CHRIST JESUS YOU ARE ALL CHILDREN OF GOD THROUGH FAITH, FOR ALL OF YOU WHO WERE BAPTIZED INTO CHRIST HAVE CLOTHED YOURSELVES WITH CHRIST. THERE IS NEITHER JEW NOR GENTILE, NEITHER SLAVE NOR FREE, NOR IS THERE MALE AND FEMALE, FOR YOU ARE ALL ONE IN CHRIST JESUS. IF YOU BELONG TO CHRIST, THEN YOU ARE ABRAHAM’S SEED, AND HEIRS ACCORDING TO THE PROMISE. - GALATIANS 3:26-29 In Matthew 16:24 Jesus said to his disciples, “WHOEVER WANTS TO BE MY DISCIPLE MUST DENY THEMSELVES AND TAKE UP THEIR CROSS AND FOLLOW ME. - MATTHEW 16:24 In Galatians 2:20 Paul writes, “I HAVE BEEN CRUCIFIED WITH CHRIST AND I NO LONGER LIVE, BUT CHRIST LIVES IN ME. THE LIFE I NOW LIVE IN THE BODY, I LIVE BY FAITH IN THE SON OF GOD, WHO LOVED ME AND GAVE HIMSELF FOR ME.” - GALATIANS 2:20 2. GOD LOVES JESUS. 1 John 3:1 says, “SEE WHAT GREAT LOVE THE FATHER HAS LAVISHED ON US, THAT WE SHOULD BE CALLED CHILDREN OF GOD!” - 1 JOHN 3:1 Romans 8:35-39 NLT says, “CAN ANYTHING EVER SEPARATE US FROM CHRIST’S LOVE? DOES IT MEAN HE NO LONGER LOVES US IF WE HAVE TROUBLE OR CALAMITY, OR ARE PERSECUTED, OR HUNGRY, OR DESTITUTE, OR IN DANGER, OR THREATENED WITH DEATH? NO, DESPITE ALL THESE THINGS, OVERWHELMING VICTORY IS OURS THROUGH CHRIST, WHO LOVED US. AND I AM CONVINCED THAT NOTHING CAN EVER SEPARATE US FROM GOD’S LOVE. NEITHER DEATH NOR LIFE, NEITHER ANGELS NOR DEMONS, NEITHER OUR FEARS FOR TODAY NOR OUR WORRIES ABOUT TOMORROW—NOT EVEN THE POWERS OF HELL CAN SEPARATE US FROM GOD’S LOVE. NO POWER IN THE SKY ABOVE OR IN THE EARTH BELOW—INDEED, NOTHING IN ALL CREATION WILL EVER BE ABLE TO SEPARATE US FROM THE LOVE OF GOD THAT IS REVEALED IN CHRIST JESUS OUR LORD.” - ROMANS 8:35-39 3. GOD IS PLEASED WITH JESUS. Don’t miss this: BIG IDEA: OUR IDENTITY AS GOD’S CHILDREN WILL PROPEL US INTO HIS PURPOSE.

Roll for initiative... I mean, HILARITY, because this week Whit and Mark are joined by repeat guest, podcaster, dungeon master and big chiefer Cathy Fisher! We talk about Dungeons and Dragons, Dark Souls, the Princess Murder Time Circle, Lust Buckets, Bucky's Romanian Cooking Show, reading groups aka book clubs and MUCH MUCH MORE! Cathy's own podcast, the extremely wonderful This Is My Son, is available on iTunes or wherever you get podcasts! It's GREAT! A THING CATHY HASN'T SEEN: Aviary Attorney. A THING WHITNEY HASN'T SEEN: Dark Souls. A THING MARK HASN'T SEEN: very many books written by women at ALL.

In a This Is My Son first, Cathy is joined by her good friend Nikita to talk about their shared son, Lin-Manuel Miranda's hit musical, Hamilton. Along the way, much attention and thought is given to the role of hustle in American history, founding father fandom, whether or not Alexander Hamilton could've had a three-way, and knee-jerk backlash.
