    THE 90s: An Invitation to Rest | Judah Thomas

    [Psalm 95:1-2] Come, let us sing to the LORD! Let us shout joyfully to the Rock of our salvation. [2] Let us come to him with thanksgiving. Let us sing psalms of praise to him. Worship is more than just ________________. [Psalm 95:6] Come, let us worship and bow down. Let us kneel before the LORD our maker, Worship is measured by how willingly we _______________. [Luke 6:46] "So why do you keep calling me 'Lord, Lord!' when you don't do what I say? When we refuse to ________________ to God our heart slowly becomes ________________. [Psalm 95:7b-8] If only you would listen to his voice today! [8] The LORD says, "Don't harden your hearts as Israel did at Meribah, as they did at Massah in the wilderness. When we forget God's ________________, we start questioning God's ________________. [Hebrews 3:13] You must warn each other every day, while it is still "today," so that none of you will be deceived by sin and hardened against God. Every response to God ________________ your ________________ response to God. [Psalm 95:11] So in my anger I took an oath: 'They will never enter my place of rest.'" Rest is found in completely ________________ God. [Hebrews 4:6] So God's rest is there for people to enter, but those who first heard this good news failed to enter because they disobeyed God. A ________________ heart responds when God ________________.

    Foretold: Immanuel (December 2, 2018) | Judah Thomas

    The problem with this world is not _____________, it's _____________. There are over _____________ direct prophecies foretelling the Messiah. [Isaiah 7:14] All right then, the Lord himself will give you the sign. Look! The virgin will conceive a child! She will give birth to a son and will call him Immanuel (which means ‘God is with us’). [Matthew 1:18] This is how Jesus the Messiah was born. His mother, Mary, was engaged to be married to Joseph. But before the marriage took place, while she was still a virgin, she became pregnant through the power of the Holy Spirit. All religions are based on our attempt to ____________ our way to God. [Isaiah 41:10] Don’t be afraid, for I am with you. Don’t be discouraged, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you. I will hold you up with my victorious right hand. God is not just looking after us He is _____________ us. Jesus is the _____________ we have been waiting for. [Matthew 28:20] be sure of this—that I am with you always, even to the end of the world.” [Isaiah 9:2] The people who walk in darkness will see a great light. For those who live in a land of deep darkness, a light will shine.

    Monsters Within: Envy (November 25, 2018) | Judah Thomas

    [James 3:14-16] But if you have bitter envy and selfish ambition in your heart, don’t boast and deny the truth. [15] Such wisdom does not come down from above but is earthly, unspiritual, demonic. [16] For where there is envy and selfish ambition, there is disorder and every evil practice. Envy is ___________________ God's goodness to others, while ___________________ His blessings to us. Envy is a ________________ that robs us of being content. [Proverbs 14:30] A peaceful heart leads to a healthy body; jealousy is like cancer in the bones. Not going to ________________ ourselves with others. [2 Corinthians 10:12] Of course we would not dare classify ourselves or compare ourselves with those who rate themselves so highly. How stupid they are! They make up their own standards to measure themselves by, and they judge themselves by their own standards! [Galatians 6:4] Pay careful attention to your own work, for then you will get the satisfaction of a job well done, and you won’t need to compare yourself to anyone else. ___________________ with others. [Romans 12:15] Be happy with those who are happy, and weep with those who weep. [1 Samuel 23:17] “Don’t be afraid,” Jonathan reassured him. “My father will never find you! You are going to be the king of Israel, and I will be next to you, as my father, Saul, is well aware.” Embrace God's ___________________ to us. [Ecclesiastes 6:9] Enjoy what you have rather than desiring what you don’t have. Just dreaming about nice things is meaningless—like chasing the wind. Gratitude is the ___________________ for envy. [1 Thessalonians 5:16-18] Always be joyful. [17] Never stop praying. [18] Be thankful in all circumstances, for this is God’s will for you who belong to Christ Jesus. When we are thankful, we attract the ___________________ of God.

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. [39] 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. Your greatest security is not that life will go _____________, it's that God will never _______________ you. [Psalm 91:15-16] When they call on me, I will answer; I will be with them in trouble. I will rescue and honor them. [16] I will reward them with a long life and give them my salvation." [Hebrews 13:5] Don't love money; be satisfied with what you have. For God has said, "I will never fail you. I will never abandon you." The safest place in the world is not the absence of _______________, it is the _______________ of God.

    [Hebrews 12:14-15] Work at living in peace with everyone, and work at living a holy life, for those who are not holy will not see the Lord.

    [Psalm 90:1-2] A prayer of Moses, the man of God. Lord, through all the generations you have been our home! [2] Before the mountains were born, before you gave birth to the earth and the world, from beginning to end, you are God. Life is _________________ but God is _________________.

[James 4:14] How do you know what your life will be like tomorrow? Your life is like the morning fog--it's here a little while, then it's gone. You may not have as much time as you ________________, but you have enough time to live _________________. [Psalm 90:7-8] We wither beneath your anger; we are overwhelmed by your fury.

    Monsters Within: Shame (November 11, 2018) | Judah Thomas

    [2 Corinthians 12:8-10] Three different times I begged the Lord to take it away. [9] Each time he said, “My grace is all you need. My power works best in weakness.” So now I am glad to boast about my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ can work through me. [10] That’s why I take pleasure in my weaknesses, and in the insults, hardships, persecutions, and troubles that I suffer for Christ. For when I am weak, then I am strong.

[Galatians 6:2] Share each other’s burdens, and in this way obey the law of Christ. * ____________ those who caused your shame.
