    Be Happy Attitudes Part 1

    Be Happy Attitudes (pt 1) Background: The “Beatitudes” represent the introduction of the Sermon on the Mount (28-30 AD), the first, formal teaching of Jesus with his followers. In these short, powerful, poetic verses, Jesus topples the traditional thinking of his day (and ours), by showing us how opposite the Kingdom of Heaven is from the Kingdom of Earth. And yet, he also suggests that succeeding God’s way will help you master the art of everyday living in 2025. During this 3-week series, we will investigate 3 Beatitudes each week. Matthew 5:3-5 (NIV) “Blessed are the poor in spirit,
    for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
4 Blessed are those who mourn,
    for they will be comforted.
5 Blessed are the meek, for they will inherit the earth. Remember: The people Jesus spoke to on the Mount of Beatitudes were like us. We’re cut from the same cloth. This is not some irrelevant, historic literature. It’s as applicable in SoCal 2025. Be Happy Attitude #1: In God’s Kingdom, filing for spiritual 

bankruptcy isn’t the end, it’s the beginning. 3 “You’re blessed when you’re at the end of your rope. With less of you there is more of God and his rule. (The Message) The problem is trying to do life on our own Self-reliance is the DNA of sin; becoming “like the gods” Poor people can be self-reliant and wealthy people can be God-reliant, but resources tempt us to do life on our own Be Happy Attitude #2: In God’s Kingdom, good grief is when we bring it to God and when it reminds us of a blessing we have experienced. 4 “You’re blessed when you feel you’ve lost what is most dear to you. Only then can you be embraced by the One most dear to you. (The Message) God wants to be involved in all of our life and emotions; don’t exclude Him When we see God as our source, we thank him for His gifts; even when they leave Be Happy Attitude #3: In God’s Kingdom, meekness is not weakness. Rather, it’s about walking softly and carrying a big God. 5 “You’re blessed when you’re content with just who you are—no more, no less. That’s the moment you find yourselves proud owners of everything that can’t be bought. (The Message) John Stott: “Meekness is not the absence of assertiveness, but the absence of self-assertion.” Tozer: “The meek person is not a human mouse, plagued by feelings of inferiority. Rather, one may be as bold as a lion in moral conviction, yet no longer deceived about themselves." N.T. Wright: “Jesus is promising the world to the people who refuse to grab it for themselves.”

    Peace in the Storm

    Sun. Sand. Sea. And Soul Work Week 3: Peace in the Storm Peace isn’t found in the absence of storms— It’s found in the presence of Jesus. That day when evening came, Jesus said to his disciples, ‘Let us go over to the other side.’ Leaving the crowd behind, they took him along, just as he was, in the boat. A furious squall came up, and the waves broke over the boat, so that it was nearly swamped. Jesus was in the stern, sleeping on a cushion. The disciples woke him and said to him, ‘Teacher, don’t you care if we drown?’ He got up, rebuked the wind and said to the waves, ‘Quiet! Be still!’ Then the wind died down and it was completely calm. He said to his disciples, ‘Why are you so afraid? Do you still have no faith?’ MARK 4:35–41 When Life is Hard and it Feels Like God is Sleeping on the Job Sometimes Jesus Leads You into the Storm “In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world.” John 16:33 Don’t Confuse God’s Silence With God’s Absence “Never will I leave you; never will I forsake you.” Hebrews 13:5 3. Say What’s True, Even If You’re Afraid “Pour out your hearts to him, for God is our refuge.” Psalm 62:8 4. You Can Have Peace Before the Storm Ends Your storm doesn’t get the final word. Jesus does. You may not be able to calm your storm—but you can cling to the One who controls it.

    Second Chances

    Sun. Sand. Sea. And Soul Work. John 21 “Afterward Jesus appeared again to his disciples, by the Sea of Galilee.” v 1 “I’m going out to fish,” Simon Peter told them, and they said, ‘We’ll go with you.’ So they went out and got into the boat, but that night they caught nothing.” v 3 HOW TO GET YOUR NEXT CHANCE WITH JESUS 1: Face the Memory and Let Jesus Meet You There “When they landed, they saw a fire of burning coals there with fish on it, and some bread.” v 9 “The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit.” Psalm 34:18 2: Jesus is still present, still pursuing you—even when you feel like a failure. “Early in the morning, Jesus stood on the shore, but the disciples did not realize that it was Jesus.” v 4 “He called out to them, ‘Friends, haven’t you any fish?’ ‘No,’ they answered. He said, ‘Throw your net on the right side of the boat and you will find some.’” Verses 5, 6 3: Jesus doesn’t ask for perfection—just your “yes.” “Simon son of John, do you love Me?” “Yes, Lord.” “Feed My lambs.” Three times. Verses 15–17 (summarized) “For God’s gifts and His call are irrevocable.” Romans 11:29 4: Don’t Isolate. Circulate “As soon as Simon Peter heard him say, ‘It is the Lord,’ he wrapped his outer garment around him and jumped into the water.” v 7 Don’t Let Shame Become Your Name. YOUR WORST MOMENT ISN’T YOUR LAST CHAPTER

    Sun. Sand. Sea. And Soul Work: From Empty to Overflowing Luke 5:1–11 (NLT) 1-Jesus Shows Up in the Place of Scarcity 2-A Scarcity Mindset Sounds Reasonable… But it Isn’t Biblical A Scarcity Mindset is the internal belief that “there’s not enough.” 3-Abundance Begins With: “But If You Say So…” 4-Abundance Comes When You Obey — Not When You Understand With Jesus, abundance is the NORM — not the exception. 5-God’s Abundance Always Leads to Humility, Not Entitlement After everything HE COULD DO…he had nothing…but in moment of what GOD COULD DO…he had everything. 6-The Greatest Catch Wasn’t the Fish — It Was Peter Practical Takeaways 1.

    GO AND TELL — Living Out the Great Commission

    The ABC’s of Christianity GO AND TELL — Living Out the Great Commission Then Jesus came to them and said, ‘All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Therefore, go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age. Matthew 28:18-20 1. The Great Commission Is More Personal Than You Think 2. “Come and See” — The Invitation That Still Works “Philip found Nathanael and told him, ‘We have found the one Moses wrote about… Jesus of Nazareth.’ ‘Nazareth! Can anything good come from there?’ Nathanael asked. ‘Come and see,’ said Philip.” John 1:45–46 “Come and see a man who told me everything I ever did.” John 4:29 3. This Mission Isn’t a Burden — It’s a Blessing “The place God calls you to is the place where your deep gladness and the world’s deep hunger meet.” -- Frederick Buechner 4. You Don’t Need to Preach a Sermon — Just Live One A. Start With Prayer B. Tell Your Story C. Be Present 5. We Literally Change the World When We Obey This 6. This Is How We Prove Our Love for Jesus “If you love me, you will keep my commandments.” John 14:15 What if you are the only Jesus someone ever sees? What if you are the invitation God wants to send? What if your “Come and See” is the moment that changes someone’s eternity?

    Ready For Mondays

    Series Title: Ready For Mondays Subtitle: Finding Purpose in the Work You Dread “Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for human masters, since you know that you will receive an inheritance from the Lord as a reward. It is the Lord Christ you are serving.” Colossians 3:23–24 (NIV) There is already purpose in what we all do, but we have to choose to live it out Work Is Not A Curse, But A Purpose “The Lord God took the man and put him in the Garden of Eden to work it and take care of it.” Genesis 2:15 God works through the attitude we bring to our workplace God Cares About The How, Not Just The What “Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord…” Colossians 3:23 (NIV) Work becomes worship when you do it for God. Your Workplace Is A Mission-Field “You are the salt of the earth. But if the salt loses its saltiness, how can it be made salty again? It is no longer good for anything, except to be thrown out and trampled underfoot. You are the light of the world. A town built on a hill cannot be hidden.” Matthew 5:13-14 (NIV) How Can I Reflect Jesus In My Workplace? 3 Ways To Live Out Your Faith Tomorrow: 1) Pray Before You Clock In 2) Encourage Someone at Work 3) Look For Moments For Jesus To Shine Through You “Therefore, my dear brothers and sisters, stand firm. Let nothing move you. Always give yourselves fully to the work of the Lord, because you know that your labor in the Lord is not in vain.” 1 Corinthians 15:58

    Life Hacks

    Life Hacks: The Strength In Numbers “Two are better than one,
    because they have a good return for their labor: If either of them falls down,
    one can help the other up.
But pity anyone who falls
    and has no one to help them up. Also, if two lie down together, they will keep warm.
    But how can one keep warm alone? Though one may be overpowered,
    two can defend themselves.
A cord of three strands is not quickly broken.” Ecclesiastes 4:9-12 (NIV) Community Gives You Strength “Two are better than one,
    because they have a good return for their labor…” Community Catches You When You Fall “If either of them falls down,
    one can help the other up.
But pity anyone who falls
    and has no one to help them up.” “Carry each other’s burdens, and in this way you will fulfill the law of Christ.” Galatians 6:2 ***Screen ONLY: Good Christian Community Doesn’t Eliminate The Struggle, But It Keeps You From Being Stuck In It. Community Watches Your Blind Side “Though one may be overpowered,
    two can defend themselves.” ***Screen ONLY: Life isn’t just better with friends, its dangerous without them. Community Protects Your Faith “A cord of three strands is not quickly broken…” “And let us consider how we may spur one another on toward love and good deeds, not giving up meeting together, as some are in the habit of doing, but encouraging one another—and all the more as you see the Day approaching.” Hebrew 10:24-25 (NIV)
