New identity – disrespect of the one who loves me. Leave for distant land – separation from the fatherLoses everything, tries to fix the situation in his false identity.Comes to senses, but still operating in his false identityWhile he was a long way off, his father saw him – Jesus is with you right now, ready for you to come back to who he made you to be at any moment. Robe: son's restored dignity, honor, and family statusRing: restored authority, identity, and sonship (entrusted to act on his father's behalf)Luke 19.1-9Zacchaeus means “pure” oneTax collector: Greedy or corruptSmall in statureZacchaeus responds in his true identityA true son of Abraham: just “a fine American”?Genesis 15 – the word of the Lord came to Abram in a vision.Now look to the heavens and count the stars, if you are able… so shall your offspring be.John1 – In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God… The word became flesh and made his dwelling among us. We have seen His glory, the glory of the one and only Son from the Father, full of grace and truth.Discussion Questions:The following are questions to contemplate while in conversation with Jesus. Listen to what Jesus reveals to you and note the answers1. What do you believe about yourself or God that hurts you?2. Negative emotions (e.g., fear, doubt, shame) can be an indication of false belief about yourself and/or God. What is the most common negative emotion you experience?3. If you can, recall when you first remember feeling this way. What were the circumstances?4. Confess your beliefs about yourself and/or God to Jesus. What does he say about them? Give you false beliefs to Jesus. What does He do with them?5. Ask Jesus what He calls you (your true identity).6. Based on what He reveals, what does he want you to know?7. Based on what He reveals, what does he want you to do?

But Eternal Life is ours now: The God of Heaven lives in our hearts.1 Corinthians 6.17 But he who is joined to the Lord is 1 spirit with Him. So deep is our UNION with Christ that Paul explains, in 1 Cor 6, that to join our bodies with a harlot is to join Christ to one. The physical union expressed in marriage is a picture of the spiritual union we have with Jesus. We are the Bride of Christ.Romans 8.28-29 And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose. For whom He foreknew, He also predestined to be conformed to the image of His Son, that He might be the firstborn among many brethren. God's plan, working His will, IN US, is to conform (also can translate: transform)us to be like Him. This is not to copy Him, but to express the life of Jesus within us.Psalm 103.7 He made known His ways to Moses, His acts to the children of Israel.Moses knew why God did what He did, while most of the people only saw His works, and were not changed by them. Moses wanted more, to know God for who He is; “show men Your Glory”. And God revealed His nature to Moses, in a personal way.1 Peter 1.10-12 Of this salvation the prophets have inquired and searched carefully, who prophesied of the grace that would come to you, searching what, or what manner of time, the Spirit of Christ who was in them was indicating when He testified beforehand the sufferings of Christ and the glories that would follow. To them it was revealed that, not to themselves, but to [e]us they were ministering the things which now have been reported to you through those who have preached the gospel to you by the Holy Spirit sent from heaven—things which angels desire to look into. (2 Corinthians 5.17 New creatures in Christ!)The prophets, including Moses, did not understand fully, or even experientially, what we have been given in the indwelling of the Holy Spirit. Even angels, who are in the presence of God, ‘long to look into' this relationship with God. And as God is love, He is fully love, but He is also Mercy, Justice, Righteousness, etc. And He is not broken into pieces, but is fully each of these attributes to each of us. Our INNER LIFE verses our OUTER LIFE needs explorationMatthew 11.28-30 Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For My yoke is easy and My burden is light.”So, because we are one with Christ, as He dwells within us, we do not have a transactional relationship with Him. Rather, we belong to Him, with Him, and for Him. And He is ours, He is our peace, and He, not a day, is our true rest. Are you able to stop in heart and mind-simply be with Him, appreciating what you truly have? To rest in Him is to not need anything. John 19.30 So when Jesus had received the sour wine, He said, “It is finished!” And bowing His head, He gave up His spirit.The work of salvation is finished by Jesus, and this also applies to the provision of rest to our souls. We won't experience this reality in a 2 day retreat, but we can ask God to reveal His true rest and begin to bring us to the full realization that we are complete in Him, and He is living in us.

Read Rom 5.20-21. God's grace (and free gift through Jesus Christ) covers a multitude of sins. So if we sin MORE, then we actually make the value of Jesus' sacrifice greater… so lets just go crazy. Nope - you're missing the entire point and here it is: Rom 6.2, “we are those who have died to sin; how can we live in it any longer?” - Paul is touching on the main point of the Chapter here, he will explain in more detail.Rom 6.3-4 - Baptism.Baptism is a picture, right? What does it picture? Jesus's death, burial, and resurrection.We go down into the water, which symbolizes Jesus' death and burial.We come up out of the water, which symbolizes Jesus' resurrection. Rom 6.5-7 - death to the old self.Jesus was killed and buried; in doing that, he became our spotless “passover lamb,” (“God made him who had no sin to be sin for us, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God.” (2 Cor 5.21). BUT THEN, God raised him from the dead, to be the “first fruits.” The resurrection of Christ is critical! Just as he was raised from the dead, so too will we be raised to eternity in heaven with the Lord. Rom 6.6 - old self was crucified with him? YOU ARE A NEW CREATION. BORN AGAIN!“The body ruled by sin is done away with” - we are no longer slaves to sin.Person testimony - My obsession with pornography started in 7th grade.Slave to sin verses:John 8.34, 2 Peter 2:19, Titus 3.3, Proverbs 5.22 and Ephesians 2.1-2. Satin wants you to stay locked in your chains. Rom 6.7 - Anyone who has died has been set free from sin. Think about that.Rom 6.8-11 - Christ died and was raised from the dead. He can not die again. So too, our old self has died, it's buried. Rom 6.12-14 - DO NOT LET SIN REIGN, DO NOT OFFER ANY PART OF YOURSELF TO SIN AS AN INSTRUMENT OF WICKEDNESS. As Christians, when we accept Christ and are baptized into a new life with him, our old self is reckoned dead. We are no longer going to hell; we have a new destination at our death, and sin no longer has its chains wrapped around us. But SO many of us voluntarily put those chains back on. Kill the old self, put him to death, and embrace the born-again you.Rom 7.14-25. You do not have to be perfect. I am not calling you to that, that's impossible. What I am calling you to do is to publicly declare the old self dead, and do the best you can to not allow that old sinful way of life to control your actions today. So, how did I break the chains that pornography had on me?1. I made a covenant with my wife, to tell her everything and be honest. 2. Rather than focusing on what I ought NOT to do, I focused on learning who God is.Discussion Questions:1. What does someone look like who is a slave to sin? How can you tell? 2. When in your life would you say you were a “slave to sin?”3. How has a person who has physically died been set free from sin?4. How can you, as a born-again believer, be an instrument of wickedness? What does that look like?5. What does it look like to offer yourselves to the Lord as an instrument of righteousness?6. What is a habitual sin that Christ crucified on the cross but you are allowing to still have power in your life? 7. Who has a testimony to share, of a victory over sin, that the Holy Spirit has helped you overcome?

Why is the world so messed up? John Mark reflects on the reality of the world's dysfunction and how the story of the Fall in Genesis explains humanity's descent into chaos.

The longtime head of Youth and Family Services at the Voorheesville library, Gail Brown has just been named Public Librarian of the Year by the New York State Library Association.Her goal is to create a community of learners. While she focuses on kids, her tendrils reach to nurture their parents and grandparents, too, as well as into the community at large.In one library project, Brown paired kids with veterans so that young people would understand the sacrifices of war. The Military Memories and Veterans Voices project made history come alive and Brown believes it is something the kids will carry with them for the rest of their lives.She recalls in this week's podcast how one young man who loves history was paired with a Korean War veteran. “Mrs. Brown, this is better than any textbook,” he told her.Brown had started her career as an English teacher. She paused in her teaching to raise her own children and decided to become a librarian because it allowed her to be more creative in her pursuits, not restricted by set curricula.Brown was also instrumental in 2019, before the pandemic, in launching Voorheesville's first Screen-Free Week.Read the full article here: https://tae.news/ifc See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

As newcomers move to Voorheesville and New Scotland, Alan Kowlowitz hopes they will embrace their heritage, not as a matter of genetics, a love of place handed down through family, but rather like the love that ties a marriage together.New Scotland is growing at a faster rate than any other municipality in Albany County, with a 5.8 percent increase in population over the last decade, according to the recently released federal census data.Kowlowitz sees an irony in people moving to New Scotland because it's a beautiful town and then having the development pressure erode what drew them to town in the first place.“You can't preserve what you don't know,” says Kowlowitz in this week's podcast.Kowlowitz chairs the joint village and town Historic Preservation Commission. Voorheesville and New Scotland this summer were awarded a $10,000 grant from the Preservation League of New York State to fund a cultural resource survey for the village and the hamlets of New Salem and New Scotland.About 300 buildings, each at least 50 years old, will be photographed, researched, and mapped with the information uploaded to the state's Cultural Resources Information System.

Phil Teumim of Delmar creates art from recycled objects and music by drawing on past traditions and on personal experiences. He describes it as “contemporary folk” or “acoustic Americana” in this week’s podcast. “The songs are the keepers of the stories of the day. They are the compass rose that help us find our way,” say the lyrics to “Old Songs,” which Teumim wrote to benefit the local group that holds concerts, dances, and festivals to keep traditional music alive. Teumim is president of Old Songs Inc. and worked with other musicians to build the organization a home in Voorheesville in what was once a church and later a library. — Photo from www.philibuck.com See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Vaclav Sotola left Prague, Czechoslovakia with his mother, fleeing a politically constrained communist country before the fall of the Berlin wall. He experienced a recurring dream when he first arrived in the United States, via Yugoslavia and Austria: he would go for an evening walk in the woods until he heard steps behind him and large men were following to capture him, he would run, they would pursue, and then he would wake up. Now, a teacher in Canajoharie and swim coach for Guilderland and Voorheesville, Sotola is ready to retire and still sometimes thinks and dreams in Czech.

The Voorheesville Dionysians have persevered with theater in the time of the coronavirus. In this week’s podcast the drama club’s president, Hannah Lewis; its vice president, Keira Woods; and the director of this year’s musical, Robert Whiteman, discuss the challenges and joys of producing a play in the midst of a pandemic.A year ago, their production of “Legally Blonde” came to a screeching halt a week before opening night when restrictions were put in place to stem the spread of the virus. Not only did the young actors lose the chance to perform but the club, which had already invested in costumes, sets, and props but couldn’t sell tickets, took a financial hit as well. Nevertheless, the Dionysians are putting on a musical this month — it can be viewed through ShowTix4U. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Dennis Sullivan begins our Christmas Day podcast by reading from one of his Christmas columns on his naïve search as a child for the Star of Bethlehem, which became a lifelong journey to finally find it. Sullivan has compiled 62 of his Enterprise columns into a just-released book, “Homeward Bound.” He took the cover photo of the rail trail after rain had cleared it of people, leaving a green leafy canopy over a straight shot of pavement. At age 80, Sullivan says, “I’ve got a foot in the grave … All that’s waiting for you, me, anyone is that white light.” Sullivan spends a month meditating on each of his essays, which starts with “une ligne donné” — a given line, as French poet Paul Valéry put it. “There is a world beneath that line and it is a writer’s job to find out what is below that line,” says Sullivan. “The lines don’t leak,” he says of his writing, crediting Joan Didion and Janet Malcolm as two of his literary parents. “The columns really are poems,” says Sullivan. He references Virgil’s pace — no more than three lines a day — in writing The Aeneid, quoting the ancient Roman poet: He licked those lines into existence like a mother bear licks her new-born cubs into shape. In the Age of the Internet, when local links are disintegrating, Sullivan’s focus in compiling his book, and in life, is on the local community. He has been Voorheesville’s historian since 1986 and has led library groups on poetry and memoir writing and helped launch the poet laureate contest that used to be held at Smitty’s Tavern. His work on restorative justice — he wrote “Handbook of Restorative Justice: A Global Perspective” — had international reach but focused too on the local, whether in South Africa or London, as the only way restorative justice can work — finding ways communities can resolve disputes without violence. Sullivan hopes his book will encourage readers to look at their own lives and write about them. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

The Enterprise experts in local news looked back at some of their most important stories for 2019.Noah Zweifel, who reports on the Helderberg Hilltowns, focuses on the Multi-Use Residential District proposed by Knox Supervisor Vasilios Lefkaditis to encourage business in the rural town. The two Democrats on the town board voted against the MRD because many of the people in the proposed district didn’t want it and because of environmental and safety concerns. A supermajority vote was needed because the Albany County Planning Board had recommended against it. Lefkaditis’s slate was elected in November so it looks like Knox will eventually have the new MRD. Zweifel also talks about highway safety issues raised by a Berne councilman who, come Jan. 1, will be the sole Democrat on a town board where all of the members have been backed by the GOP chairman, who is also the highway superintendent.Sean Mulkerrin, who covers the town of New Scotland and the villages of Altamont and Voorheesville, discusses two long-running legal challenges that had an effect on the ballot box. The Voorheesville School Board president was ousted in the spring after a popular girls’ basketball coach claimed in court papers that he was fraudulently forced to resign from his coaching post. He sued to get his job back. In Altamont, a group of citizens challenged the village board’s rezoning of property from residential to commercial to allow the Altamont Stewart’s to expand. In the March village elections, two incumbent trustees who had voted in favor of the rezone narrowly kept their seats. The village board then voted again in favor of the rezone. Elizabeth Floyd Mair, the Enterprise Guilderland reporter, talks about the evolution of a story on a Lynnwood teacher, Tod Mell, accused of inappropriately touching one of his students. Floyd Mair changed the narrative when, after quoting from glowing letters in a story on Mell’s sentencing, the victim came forward and told her side of the story to Floyd Mair. In the podcast, Floyd Mair also talks about how a sad story on the closing of Christ Lutheran Church in Guilderland led to a happy story about the Micronesians who joyously worship at the church.

Mike Moak of Guilderland Center describes himself as competitive. He says his high school wrestling coach at Voorheesville, the late Dick Leach, inspired that in him. Last month, Moak reached his goal of running a marathon in every state. But it wasn’t enough for him to just complete those marathons; he had to do it in under four hours. Moak is one of only 126 runners — members of the 50sub4 Club — to do so; and he is the second oldest. Moak is 63 and started his quest 15 years ago. A pilot, Moak has traveled with his wife, Heidi, to the various marathons across the United States where they also take in the local sights and eat pasta at Italian restaurants before each race. Moak finished his final marathon on Oct. 12 in Hartford, Connecticut where his extended family — surprising him in matching blue T-shirts that said “Team Smoke” — cheered him on at the finish line. In this week’s podcast, Moak says he was racing Father Time to finish the 50 marathons before he was too old. But he’s not done yet. His next challenge will be to run a marathon on each continent, where he anticipates tigers in Africa and glaciers in Antarctica. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

The cover of Dorothy Bremer Kohler’s book depicts the farmhouse in Gilboa — her Shangri-La, where she was raised — painted by her granddaughter, Jacklyn Kohler. Kohler, who is 89, wrote the stories of her life as part of a memoir group at the Voorheesville Public Library under the tutelage of Dennis Sullivan, who is also an Enterprise columnist. Kohler will read from her book and sign copies at the library on Sunday, Sept. 15, at 2 p.m. Although Kohler’s stories are firmly rooted with details of a particular time and place — first, Astoria in Queens where her father, from Germany, drove a horse-pulled milk truck in the 1930s; then the farm in Gilboa, which Dorothy always considered home; and finally, the home in Voorheesville her father and uncle built for her own growing family and where she has lived for more than 60 years — they offer universal lessons about work and faith, about love and family. Even as a child, Kohler thought for herself. When her Sunday-school teacher told her only humans had souls so only they would go to heaven. Kohler, who loved her terrier, Skippy, decided, if her dog wasn’t going to heaven, she didn’t want to be there, either. She also writes, “We don’t always get what we think we want.” See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Fabrice Liegeois was raised and shaped by the grandmother he adored, Jeannine Robert. A blonde beauty who looked like Marlene Dietrich and spoke five languages, she killed an SS officer who fell in love with her during the German occupation of France. She knifed him in order to save her best friend, a Jew. The young women fled to Paris. Robert used the copy of “Mein Kampf” that the Nazi officer had given her as a sort of passport when she smuggled papers for the French resistance. When Liegeois was 8, he saw the American film “Heaven Can Wait” and thought of the football players as modern-day knights. He was determined to play American football — he did, for a French club team — and went on to become a sports journalist for L’Équipe. He is currently writing his second novel, which he describes as a waltz — with three interlocking steps in three different centuries — all set in Voorheesville. He was here to do research, and shares his passion for truth-seeking in this week’s podcast. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

What will our world look like in 2030? Filmmakers Jon Cring, left, and Joe Murphy are making a short mockumentary — a humorous, pretend documentary — this summer in Voorheesville to bring home the effects of climate change: It’s a world where refugees are rampant, political rhetoric doesn’t square with reality, and kids have never seen a butterfly. In this week’s podcast, Cring and Murphy discuss their hopes to eventually make the mockumentary a feature-length film and also talk about a blog launched this spring, “How I Talked About Climate Change Today.” They believe individuals can make a difference: The Murphy family went solar and the Cringes bought a bidet to save on toilet paper. — Photo from Joe Murphy See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
