Mind of Christ
Series: No Series
Before you can deal with matters on the outside, you must first deal with matters on the inside: your mind, will, and emotions. Is there anything (bitterness, anger, frustration, resentment, anxiety, unforgiveness, or feelings of entitlement) that would make God uncomfortable to reside in your heart? (1 Corinthians 2:6-16, 2 Corinthians 5:16 HCSB)

    The Good, The Bad, The Ugly/Joseph vs. Judah
    Series: No Series
    Brother Mike contrasts Joseph and his brother, Judah. Joseph was a man who followed God, even though he had been betrayed by his brothers and sold into slavery. He trusted that God had a plan for his life, no matter what the circumstances. Judah, a free man, thwarted God’s will in marrying a Canaanite woman and raising ungodly sons. Yet, Judah repented and turned back to God. So who did God choose for the lineage of Christ? Surprisingly it was Judah. In choosing Judah, God gave us a message of hope and shows us that He can use imperfect people to accomplish His perfect will. (Genesis 37-39 NKJV)

    Danger: Expectations
    Series: No Series
    Expectations can lead to disappointment when we attempt to put God in a box and limit Him to our expectations. Instead we should have a spirit of expectancy, knowing that what is happening in our lives will lead toward good even if we don’t know the when, where, or how. Expectancy leads to hope and hope does not disappoint when that hope is place in God and His promises. (Luke 7:19-23; Mark 6:1-5; Matthew 20:10; Philippians 1: 20; Romans 5:5 NKJV)

    Our country survives because people were willing to fight for our freedoms and, in many cases, to die for those freedoms. They served so that others may experience freedom. Christ calls us to serve, to not walk away, when there is a need. He calls us to get in the wheelbarrow and work to help our church minister to others and to personally help others find Christ so that they can be free from eternal death. (John 6:66 NKJV)

    Sometimes we need to pivot in our way of thinking. There is so much conflict and chaos in our world! However, God tells us to ‘be still’. Lay down our worries, conflicts and the chaos at His feet. “Know that I am God”. Cease from worrying and trust in God, “for the battle is not yours but God’s”. Psalm 46:1-10; 2 Chronicles 20: 1-21 NKJV

    Do you let pride destroy relationships? In the book of Obadiah, we see that the Edomites were bitter against Israel because of what had happened between Jacob and Esau (Genesis 25-27). They gloated over the downfall of the Israel nation and Obadiah warns them that they will be judged because of this. How do you respond to people who hurt you? Do you hold onto grudges as the Edomites did? Or do you forgive and try to mend the relationship, as God forgives you and brings you back into his fold? (Obadiah 1-21, NKJV)

    The first priority of a mother should be to train her child in the way of the Lord so the child can make a decision to follow Christ. In order to do this, the mother must receive the Word of the Lord, live it, and share it with her child. In this way, the child can avoid the day of destruction that Zephaniah is talking about. Zephaniah 1:1-3; 3:8-1, 16-17 (NKJV)
