    Wonders of His Love – A Tale of Two Kings

    Joy to the world the Lord is come / Let earth receive her king / Let every heart prepare Him room / And heaven and nature sing Let earth receive her king He rules the world with truth and grace / And makes the nations prove / The glories of His righteousness / And wonders of His love Matthew 2:1-12  //  After Jesus was born in Bethlehem in Judea, during the time of King Herod, Magi from the east came to Jerusalem 2 and asked, “Where is the one who has been born king of the Jews? We saw his star when it rose and have come to worship him.” 3 When King Herod heard this he was disturbed, and all Jerusalem with him. 4 When he had called together all the people’s chief priests and teachers of the law, he asked them where the Messiah was to be born. 5 “In Bethlehem in Judea,” they replied, “for this is what the prophet has written: 6 “‘But you, Bethlehem, in the land of Judah, are by no means least among the rulers of Judah; for out of you will come a ruler who will shepherd my people Israel.’” 7 Then Herod called the Magi secretly and found out from them the exact time the star had appeared. 8 He sent them to Bethlehem and said, “Go and search carefully for the child. As soon as you find him, report to me, so that I too may go and worship him.” 9 After they had heard the king, they went on their way, and the star they had seen when it rose went ahead of them until it stopped over the place where the child was. 10 When they saw the star, they were overjoyed. 11 On coming to the house, they saw the child with his mother Mary, and they bowed down and worshiped him. Then they opened their treasures and presented him with gifts of gold, frankincense and myrrh. 12 And having been warned in a dream not to go back to Herod, they returned to their country by another route. Jesus is King over ALL the Earth Luke 1:31-33  //  You will conceive and give birth to a son, and you are to call him Jesus. 32 He will be great and will be called the Son of the Most High. The Lord God will give him the throne of his father David, 33 and he will reign over Jacob’s descendants forever; his kingdom will never end.” Matthew 1:1-17  //  This is the genealogy of Jesus the Messiah the son of David, the son of Abraham: 2 Abraham was the father of Isaac, Isaac the father of Jacob, Jacob the father of Judah and his brothers, 6 and Jesse the father of King David. 16 and Jacob the father of Joseph, the husband of Mary, and Mary was the mother of Jesus who is called the Messiah. 17 Thus there were fourteen generations in all from Abraham to David, fourteen from David to the exile to Babylon, and fourteen from the exile to the Messiah. Jesus has ALWAYS been King Matthew 2:2  //  “Where is the one who has been born king of the Jews? King Jesus was fiercely opposed Myrrh / Incense / Gold Every Knee will bow before our King Matthew 2:9-11  //  After they had heard the king, they went on their way, and the star they had seen when it rose went ahead of them until it stopped over the place where the child was. 10 When they saw the star, they were overjoyed. 11 On coming to the house, they saw the child with his mother Mary, and they bowed down and worshiped him. Philippians 2:6-11  //  Who, being in very nature God, did not consider equality with God something to be used to his own advantage; 7 rather, he made himself nothing by taking the very nature of a servant, being made in human likeness. 8 And being found in appearance as a man, he humbled himself by becoming obedient to death— even death on a cross! 9 Therefore God exalted him to the highest place and gave him the name that is above every name, 10 that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, 11 and every tongue acknowledge that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father. Where is Jesus NOT King in my life?

    Wonders of His Love – Joy to the World

    Advent Coming Advent is waiting with Joy Why do we have Joy? How would your parents respond with you made a mess? How do you think God will respond when you do? Luke 15:1-2  //  Now the tax collectors and sinners were all gathering around to hear Jesus. 2 But the Pharisees and the teachers of the law muttered, “This man welcomes sinners and eats with them.” Luke 15:17-24  //  “When he came to his senses, he said, ‘How many of my father’s hired servants have food to spare, and here I am starving to death! 18 I will set out and go back to my father and say to him: Father, I have sinned against heaven and against you. 19 I am no longer worthy to be called your son; make me like one of your hired servants.’ 20 So he got up and went to his father. But while he was still a long way off, his father saw him and was filled with compassion for him; he ran to his son, threw his arms around him and kissed him. 21 “The son said to him, ‘Father, I have sinned against heaven and against you. I am no longer worthy to be called your son.’ 22 “But the father said to his servants, ‘Quick! Bring the best robe and put it on him. Put a ring on his finger and sandals on his feet. 23 Bring the fattened calf and kill it. Let’s have a feast and celebrate. 24 For this son of mine was dead and is alive again; he was lost and is found.’ So they began to celebrate. Mercy gave the son a second chance. Grace gave him a feast. Prodigal: wastefully extravagant Luke 15:7  //  I tell you that in the same way there will be more rejoicing in heaven over one sinner who repents than over ninety-nine righteous persons who do not need to repent. Luke 15:10  //  In the same way, I tell you, there is rejoicing in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner who repents.” Luke 19:10  //  “For the Son of Man came to seek and to save the lost.”

    Won’t You Be My Neighbor?

    Luke 10:25-29  //  On one occasion an expert in the law stood up to test Jesus. “Teacher,” he asked, “what must I do to inherit eternal life?”26 “What is written in the Law?” He replied. “How do you read it?” 27 He answered, “‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength and with all your mind’; and, ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’” 28 “You have answered correctly,” Jesus replied. “Do this and you will live.” 29 But he wanted to justify himself, so he asked Jesus, “And who is my neighbor?” Luke 10:30-37  //  In reply Jesus said: “A man was going down from Jerusalem to Jericho, when he was attacked by robbers. They stripped him of his clothes, beat him and went away, leaving him half dead. 31 A priest happened to be going down the same road, and when he saw the man, he passed by on the other side. 32 So too, a Levite, when he came to the place and saw him, passed by on the other side. 33 But a Samaritan, as he traveled, came where the man was; and when he saw him, he took pity on him. 34 He went to him and bandaged his wounds, pouring on oil and wine. Then he put the man on his own donkey, brought him to an inn and took care of him. 35 The next day he took out two denarii and gave them to the innkeeper. ‘Look after him,’ he said, ‘and when I return, I will reimburse you for any extra expense you may have.’ 36 “Which of these three do you think was a neighbor to the man who fell into the hands of robbers?” 37 The expert in the law replied, “The one who had mercy on him.” Jesus told him, “Go and do likewise.” Does God love ME? 1 John 4:16  //  And so we know and rely on the love God has for us. God is love. Whoever lives in love lives in God, and God in them. John 3:16  //  For God so loved the world that he gave His one and only Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life. Why is it so difficult (for me) to receive God’s Love? We tend to define LOVE at the level of our lowest experience with it. Life has a way of teaching us lessons that we don’t yet know that we’ve learned: to receive Love it must be earned to receive Love I must be perfect to receive Love it must be constantly pursued John 1:14 (MSG)  //  The Word became flesh and blood, and moved into the neighborhood. We saw the glory with our own eyes, the one-of-a-kind glory, like Father, like Son, Generous inside and out, true from start to finish. Romans 5:10  //  For if, while we were God’s enemies, we were reconciled to him through the death of his Son, how much more, having been reconciled, shall we be saved through his life! Why is it difficult for me to love others? Matthew 10:7-8  //  As you go, proclaim this message: ‘The kingdom of heaven has come near.’ 8 Heal the sick, raise the dead, cleanse those who have leprosy, drive out demons. Freely you have received; freely give. 1 John 4:19  //  We love because He first loved us. Receive God’s Love “God Loves Me” (First 30 Seconds of Your Day) Say it Back Share It Around

    Getting Over Overwhelmed – Overwhelmed with Gratitude

    Feel Thankful Gap Ingratitude The recipient is always aware. The culprit is rarely aware. Not feeling something. Unexpressed gratitude is experienced as ingratitude. Luke 17:11-19  //  Now on his way to Jerusalem, Jesus traveled along the border between Samaria and Galilee. 12 As he was going into a village, ten men who had leprosy met him. They stood at a distance 13 and called out in a loud voice, “Jesus, Master, have pity on us!” 14 When he saw them, he said, “Go, show yourselves to the priests.” And as they went, they were cleansed. 15 One of them, when he saw he was healed, came back, praising God in a loud voice. 16 He threw himself at Jesus’ feet and thanked him He went back to thank the one who enabled him to move forward. Luke 17:11-19  //  He threw himself at Jesus’ feet and thanked him—and he was a Samaritan. 17 Jesus asked, “Were not all ten cleansed? Where are the other nine? The nine… where? Luke 17:11-19  //  Has no one returned to give praise to God except this foreigner?” 19 Then he said to him, “Rise and go; your faith has made you well.” They felt it. They didn’t express it. Unexpressed gratitude communicates ingratitude. Ingratitude feels like rejection. Gratitude to God is worship. Gratitude produces worship. Todah - A thanksgiving choir Barak - To kneel in thanksgiving Tehillah - To sing a song of thanksgiving Halal - To give thanks by being clamorously foolish Yadah - To give thanks with extended hands Zamar - To give thanks with a musical instrument Shabach - To give thanks in a loud tone, to shout Psalm 100:4  //  Enter into His gates with thanksgiving (Todah - A thanksgiving choir), and into his courts with praise (Tehillah - To sing a song of thanksgiving). Be thankful (Yadah - To give thanks with extended hands) to Him, and bless (Barak - To kneel in thanksgiving) His name. Psalm 100:4 (Paraphrase)  //  Enter into His gates with a thanksgiving choir and into His courts with singing praises. Be thankful by extending your hands to Him, and bless Him by bowing before His name. Miracles produce gratitude. Luke 17:16  //  He threw himself at Jesus’ feet and thanked him Obedience produces miracles. Luke 17:14  //  When he saw them, he said, “Go, show yourselves to the priests.” And as they went, they were cleansed. Walk by Faith Don’t let anyone out-grateful you.

    Top 7 Stressors: Job Money Health Relationships Poor Diet Media Overload Lack of Sleep Being a Cowboys Fan John 16:33  //  “I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world.” Philippians 4:7 (LB)  //  If you do this, you will experience God’s peace, which is far more wonderful than the human mind can understand. His peace will keep your thoughts and your hearts quiet and at rest as you trust in Christ Jesus. Refuse to Worry Philippians 4:6  //  Don’t worry about anything… Worry: To strangle or choke Things Jesus said: Worry is Unreasonable Matthew 6:25  //  “That is why I tell you not to worry about everyday life—whether you have enough food and drink, or enough clothes to wear. Isn’t life more than food, and your body more than clothing? Things Jesus said Worry is Unnatural If worry is learned, it can be un-learned. Matthew 6:26, 28-29  //  Look at the birds. They don’t plant or harvest or store food in barns, for your heavenly Father feeds them. And aren’t you far more valuable to him than they are? 28 “And why worry about your clothing? Look at the lilies of the field and how they grow. They don’t work or make their clothing, 29 yet Solomon in all his glory was not dressed as beautifully as they are. Things Jesus said: Worry is Unhelpful Matthew 6:27  //  Can all your worries add a single moment to your life? Proverbs 12:25  //  Worry weighs a person down; an encouraging word cheers a person up. Proverbs 14:30  //  A heart at peace gives life to the body, but envy rots the bones. Things Jesus said: Worry is Unnecessary Matthew 6:30  //  And if God cares so wonderfully for wildflowers that are here today and thrown into the fire tomorrow, he will certainly care for you. Why do you have so little faith? Talk to God about Everything Philippians 4:6  //  Don’t worry about anything; instead, pray about everything. Tell God what you need… Ruminating If you prayed as much as you worried, you would have much less to worry about. Thank God in All Things Philippians 4:6  //  Don’t worry about anything; instead, pray about everything. Tell God what you need, and thank him for all he has done. You cannot be happy and ungrateful at the same time. 1 Thessalonians 5:18  //  Give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus. Think about Good Things Philippians 4:8  //  And now, dear brothers and sisters, one final thing. Fix your thoughts on what is true, and honorable, and right, and pure, and lovely, and admirable. Think about things that are excellent and worthy of praise. Isaiah 26:3  //  You will keep in perfect peace all who trust in you, all whose thoughts are fixed on you! Be Content with Anything Philippians 4:11-12  //   Not that I was ever in need, for I have learned how to be content with whatever I have. 12 I know how to live on almost nothing or with everything. I have learned the secret of living in every situation, whether it is with a full stomach or empty, with plenty or little. Philippians 4:7  //  Then you will experience God’s peace, which exceeds anything we can understand. His peace will guard your hearts and minds as you live in Christ Jesus.

    Bad Advice – God Just Wants Your Money

    Get Yours Secure the Bag Look Out for Number 1 If you want to know what has your heart, look at your money. God is generous Generosity is the heart of God. John 3:16  //  For God so loved the world that He GAVE... Romans 8:32  //   Since he did not spare even his own Son but GAVE him up for us all, won’t he also GIVE us everything else? Matthew 7:11  //  “If you then, who are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father who is in heaven GIVE good things to those who ask him!” James 1:17  //  Every good and perfect GIFT is from above. God owns it all Matthew 25:14-15  //  “Again, it will be like a man going on a journey, who called his servants and entrusted his wealth to them. 15 To one he gave five bags of gold, to another two bags, and to another one bag, each according to his ability. Then he went on his journey. Owners have rights. Managers have responsibilities. Deuteronomy 10:14  //  To the Lord your God belong the heavens, even the highest heavens, the earth and everything in it. Deuteronomy 8:17-18  //  You may say to yourself, “My power and the strength of my hands have produced this wealth for me.” 18 But remember the Lord your God, for it is he who gives you the ability to produce wealth, and so confirms his covenant, which he swore to your ancestors, as it is today. Job 41:11  //  Who has a claim against me that I must pay? Everything under heaven belongs to me. Haggai 2:8  //  ‘The silver is mine and the gold is mine,’ declares the Lord Almighty. Psalm 50:10-12  //  for every animal of the forest is mine, and the cattle on a thousand hills. I know every bird in the mountains, and the insects in the fields are mine. If I were hungry I would not tell you, for the world is mine, and all that is in it. Every spending decision is a spiritual decision. God is most interested in developing our character God uses money as:
A Tool God uses money as: A Test Proverbs 1:19 (MSG)  //  When you grab all you can get, that's what happens: the more you get, the less you are. Matthew 25:16-17, 21-23  //  The man who had received five bags of gold went at once and put his money to work and gained five bags more. 17 So also, the one with two bags of gold gained two more. 21 “His master replied, ‘Well done, good and faithful servant! You have been faithful with a few things; I will put you in charge of many things. Come and share your master’s happiness!’ 22 “The man with two bags of gold also came. ‘Master,’ he said, ‘you entrusted me with two bags of gold; see, I have gained two more.’ 23 “His master replied, ‘Well done, good and faithful servant! You have been faithful with a few things; I will put you in charge of many things. Come and share your master’s happiness!’ Luke 16:10-13  //  “Whoever can be trusted with very little can also be trusted with much, and whoever is dishonest with very little will also be dishonest with much. 11 So if you have not been trustworthy in handling worldly wealth, who will trust you with true riches? 12 And if you have not been trustworthy with someone else’s property, who will give you property of your own? 13 “No one can serve two masters. Either you will hate the one and love the other, or you will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve both God and money.” God uses money as: A Testimony Matthew 25:24-26  //  “Then the man who had received one bag of gold came. ‘Master,’ he said, ‘I knew that you are a hard man, harvesting where you have not sown and gathering where you have not scattered seed. 25 So I was afraid and went out and hid your gold in the ground. See, here is what belongs to you.’ 26 “His master replied, ‘You wicked, lazy servant! So you knew that I harvest where I have not sown and gather where I have not scattered seed? Money testifies to a watching world how you feel about God. Hebrews

    Bad Advice – Don’t Drift

    Matthew 13:19-23  //  When anyone hears the message about the kingdom and does not understand it, the evil one comes and snatches away what was sown in their heart. This is the seed sown along the path. 20 The seed falling on rocky ground refers to someone who hears the word and at once receives it with joy. 21 But since they have no root, they last only a short time. When trouble or persecution comes because of the word, they quickly fall away. 22 The seed falling among the thorns refers to someone who hears the word, but the worries of this life and the deceitfulness of wealth choke the word, making it unfruitful. 23 But the seed falling on good soil refers to someone who hears the word and understands it. This is the one who produces a crop, yielding a hundred, sixty or thirty times what was sown.” Path Rocky Place Among Thorns Good Soil Hebrews 2:1  //  We must pay the most careful attention, therefore, to what we have heard, so that we do not drift away. How to drift from God Neglect your time with God Psalm 63:1  //  You, God, are my God, earnestly I seek you; I thirst for you, my whole being longs for you, in a dry and parched land where there is no water. Hang around the wrong people 1 Corinthians 15:33  //  Do not be misled: “Bad company corrupts good character.” Give into temptation James 1:14-15  //  but each person is tempted when they are dragged away by their own evil desire and enticed. 15 Then, after desire has conceived, it gives birth to sin; and sin, when it is full-grown, gives birth to death. Love this world more than you love God 1 John 2:15  //  Do not love the world or anything in the world. If anyone loves the world, love for the Father is not in them. Bad advice: Fake it! Isaiah 29:13  //  The Lord says: “These people come near to me with their mouth and honor me with their lips, but their hearts are far from me... Revelation 3:1  //  ...I know your deeds; you have a reputation of being alive, but you are dead. Condemnation & Conviction Return to your first love Revelation 2:4-5  //  ...You have forsaken the love you had at first. 5 Consider how far you have fallen! Repent and do the things you did at first... Repent Do the things you did at first

    Bad Advice – God Helps Those Who Help Themselves

    "Figure It Out" God Helps Those Who Help Themselves 80% 52% Ora et Labora Colossians 3:23-24  //  “Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for human masters, 24 since you know that you will receive an inheritance from the Lord as a reward. It is the Lord Christ you are serving.” Proverbs 6:10-11  //  A little sleep, a little slumber, a little folding of the hands to rest— and poverty will come on you like a thief and scarcity like an armed man. God is a helping God. Cannot help themselves Ephesians 2:4-5  //  But because of his great love for us, God, who is rich in mercy, made us alive with Christ even when we were dead in transgressions—it is by grace you have been saved. Romans 5:6-8  //  You see, at just the right time, when we were still powerless, Christ died for the ungodly. Very rarely will anyone die for a righteous person, though for a good person someone might possibly dare to die. But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us. God helps those who cannot help themselves! Trust in Him Psalm 121:1-2  //  I lift up my eyes to the mountains— where does my help come from? My help comes from the Lord, the Maker of heaven and earth. Psalm 46:1  //  God is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble. God helps those who trust in Him. In whom or in what have you put your trust? “My help comes from the Lord” “The Lord is my ever-present help.” Mark 10:46-52  //  Then they came to Jericho. As Jesus and his disciples, together with a large crowd, were leaving the city, a blind man, Bartimaeus (which means “son of Timaeus”), was sitting by the roadside begging. 47 When he heard that it was Jesus of Nazareth, he began to shout, “Jesus, Son of David, have mercy on me!” Many rebuked him and told him to be quiet, but he shouted all the more, “Son of David, have mercy on me!” Jesus stopped and said, “Call him.” So they called to the blind man, “Cheer up! On your feet! He’s calling you.” 50 Throwing his cloak aside, he jumped to his feet and came to Jesus. “What do you want me to do for you?” Jesus asked him. The blind man said, “Rabbi, I want to see.” “Go,” said Jesus, “your faith has healed you.” Immediately he received his sight and followed Jesus along the road. God helps those who admit their need for Him. John 14:26  //  But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, he will teach you all things and bring to your remembrance all that I have said to you.
