Whoever said “words could never hurt me” was a liar. The tongue can give life or it can take it away. Inside of the church, just because we can say something doesn’t mean we should, and how we say it matters. Know when to speak. Think about what you say. You can be right and wrong at the same time. Seek forgiveness. James 3:1-8, Proverbs 17:28, Psalm 19:14, Matthew 15:16-20, Colossians 4:5-6, Proverbs 16:24…

23:11

Successful churches are characterized by servitude. They not only serve the Lord wholeheartedly, but they also serve their communities. Importantly, they also serve each other. We have to be able to put others first, otherwise we foster a community of consumerism. We are all slaves to sin. But through Christ, we can choose to be subject to him, making us slaves to righteousness. This is calling us to snuff out the fire of self-centeredness. To serve Christ is to serve others. Greatness in the world is to be served. Greatness in the kingdom of God is to serve others. What we do for others we ultimately do for the Lord. You won’t serve those you despise.…

Church: This is How We Do It pt. 3 - A Willingness to Communicate 28:11

17 днів тому28:11

28:11

The greatest danger to churches today is an unwillingness to have tough conversations with each other. The Devil's greatest tool is division. If he can cause churches to fight amongst themselves, they will fail. Communication’s greatest gift is its ability to resolve conflict and build connections that aren’t easily destroyed. “Excellent communication doesn’t just happen naturally. It is a product of process, skill, climate, relationship, and hard work.” - Pat McMillan If you have a problem with a brother or sister in Christ, the only person you should discuss that problem with, to begin with, is them. If you haven’t given your brother or sister a chance to correct their ills, don’t expect your pastor to do it for you. Communication is a matter of correction, not a seed of animosity. Our communication must be grounded in love. We must remember that the goal of our communication is restoration. Matthew 18:15-16, Ephesians 4:26-27, Proverbs 10:12…

Church: This is How We Do It pt. 2 - A Devotion to Prayer 26:41

24 дні тому26:41

26:41

Churches that pray are powerful churches. Prayer changes things. It strengthens relationships and builds a connection with the Almighty. If we want to be successful as a church by any of the metrics that actually matter, we must be characterized by prayer. Prayer is the means by which God fulfills his will among his people. Suffering that leads to prayer, that leads to grace, leads to the glory of God. Prayer encourages confession and brings healing. We can’t experience healing, or expect our offering to be received while harboring ill will for our brothers and sisters. Our lives should have clear evidence of a pattern of prayer 2 Corinthians 2:11, 2 Corinthians 4:15, James 5:16, Matthew 5:23-26, Romans 12:12, Acts 1:14, Acts 2:12, Acts 6:4…

31:43

When it comes to our interactions with others, we must approach one another with a spirit of grace. This means we assume the best in one another, we are quick to forgive, and we don’t hold grudges. Approaching each other with a spirit of grace starts with assuming the best in one another. When we assume the worst in others, we break the bonds of fellowship, destroy trust and crush our own confidence. It’s easy to have a spirit of grace with others when you view yourself in the correct light. Matthew 22:36-40, Luke 6:36-37, Matthew 7:1-5…

Imperfect Salvation, pt. 11 - When Christians Deny the Existence of God 32:13

5 weeks тому32:13

32:13

What takes place at the end of Judges is horrible. But debauchery is all that exists when we leave God out of the equation. The greatest defense of the existence of God is the propensity to create idols for ourselves. We reach peace once - that god is the one true God. When we unplug from God, we turn to idol worship. When your gods are taken from you, all you have is nothing. But there is nothing that can take God from you. I’m not a fan of "hellfire and brimstone" but I believe strongly in truth and immovable moral standards. Judges 17:1-5, Judges 18:22-26, Judges 21:25…

Imperfect Salvation, pt. 10 - Perfect Savior 25:20

6 weeks тому25:20

25:20

Throughout Judges we have looked at temporary judge after temporary judge. These were imperfect saviors but Jesus was the perfect Savior. Today, on Easter, we look at what makes him so. Jesus is the perfect Savior because He was both human and divine. A real sacrifice exchanges something of equal value. Human life for human life. A divine sacrifice allows for the Son of God to reconcile all human life. Jesus is the perfect Savior because He was the perfect sacrifice. Jesus is Savior because He completes the process of salvation. It’s not just that Christ has allowed you to be forgiven, but that God sees you as blameless and whole because of what He's done.…

Imperfect Salvation, pt. 9 - Hey There Delilah 36:51

7 weeks тому36:51

36:51

Samson was physically strong but spiritually weak. He was a personification of the nation of Israel and his failures led to his demise. We can’t let our lust override the law. As parents, we can raise our children, try to lead them, and still watch them fail. God uses our mistakes for His mission. We can’t lead others down a sinful path despite our struggles. A lack of wise decision-making leads to a troublesome life. Poor decision-making is aided by an unchecked anger and the consequences can be earth-shattering. If we don’t learn from our mistakes, we are doomed to repeat them.…

Samson is the most famous of all the Judges but he started out like we all do, a baby full of promise. God’s faithfulness persists beyond our foolishness. God uses the ordinary to bring about the extraordinary. We must do what we can to prevent corrupting what has been gifted from and ordained to the Lord. As parents, we must seek guidance from the Lord, control what’s in our control, and trust God with the rest. We all need people to bring us back to the ground, who speak wisdom and knowledge, people who we will listen to.…

Imperfect Salvation, pt. 7 - Rebellion, Repentance, and a Righteous Leader 32:27

9 weeks тому32:27

32:27

After yet another rebellion, the people found themselves in need of a leader. Jephthah stood up to fight for his brothers even after they had rejected him. Repentance requires actions and humility. And words alone mean very little. When you repent, you need to act and be humble. You are at the other party's mercy. What they need from you, you do. If you aren’t willing to repent, you are sorry about your circumstances, not that you caused them. Your past does not disqualify you from serving God, even if you find yourself rejected by man. It’s a blessing from God to be able to overlook how you’ve been hurt to serve others who need you.…

10 weeks тому30:01

30:01

Abimelech was the son of Gideon. The problem was he had 70 brothers standing in the way of what he wanted, so he killed them. This section of Judges shows us that we can’t escape the consequences of our actions. Be wary of those who want to lead you and be careful what you wish for. We must weigh advice based on its merit and not on its deliverer. Our God is a God of justice and there is no escaping consequences for your actions.…

Midian was a mighty enemy, but Gideon served a mighty God. Gideon’s mighty God was greater than the enemy. It’s not about what we face that seems impossible - it’s about who faces the impossible with us. Your odds might not be great but they are never zero with God. God knows what you need when you need it. We must remember our place in the big picture of life. We can give God glory and still lead others astray.…

Imperfect Salvation, pt. 4 - Gideon’s Call and Courage 27:34

12 weeks тому27:34

27:34

God calls Gideon a mighty warrior, not because of anything he had done but because of what God planned to do through him. Gideon only needed to accept his calling and approach it with courage. Sometimes, God makes us deal with uncomfortable circumstances to call our attention to how we caused them. To pretend that God would work through self-inflicted wounds throughout Scripture - but not do so today - is dishonest. God isn’t above helping correct what we corrupted. There is a striking contrast between how we see ourselves vs. how God sees us - and His opinion is the one that matters. Knowing that God is capable means that it isn’t sinful to feel like you need reassurance that you are His chosen vessel.…

28:40

The story of Deborah and Barak shows us that being a leader is dependent on one’s willingness to lead. Deborah stole Barak’s glory, because he lacked faith he could do it alone. Our voice should be one of encouragement and accountability. Deborah and Barak teach us that the greatest and best among us aren’t self-sufficient but recognize their need for others. Sometimes, people must be reminded that God is on their side and their success is a matter of faith. If you aren’t willing to accept God’s blessing, he will bestow it on someone else.…

32:06

The people failed God and found themselves in hot water. But after crying out to God, He sent help. Then, the people repaid him by repeating their mistakes. A successful Christian walk requires us to identify strong leadership and heed its wisdom. Not adhering to Biblical leadership has consequences. Deliverance follows repentance. Deliverance is temporary without perseverance. God calls specific people to specific tasks because of their specific giftings. Sometimes when God calls you to something, you gotta deal with some dung.…

Chapter 9 and 10 show the natural response to the Goodness of God - celebration. We must celebrate the goodness of God and praise him for all he has done. You need not worry about what the enemy has planned for you. Just have faith that the reverse is going to occur. God influences others through your trials and impending victories. Motivation matters. Success is rooted in the Why. It’s important to remember all that has been accomplished on our behalf. If God doesn’t get praise for the good things in your life, then he doesn’t deserve your anger either.…

This is God at work to bring about the redemption of his people. that God’s redemption isn’t simply about removing bad but replacing it with better. In this moment, we see that faith builds.

Haman’s evil deeds are brought to light. God’s people will not be wiped out by the evil plans of others. Haman brought his destruction on himself, and again we see God’s work from the beginning. Esther shows us the way in which we should approach the Lord - with humility and hope. God sees, he hears, and he moves. A lack of appreciation for our blessings leads to our destruction. Someone out there is praying for the family you take for granted. The home you wish was bigger. The job that pays your bills. We cannot let our sinful nature outweigh our blessings.

Esther risks her life to save others. But throughout the entirety of this book, we see God preparing her for this moment. And so it shouldn’t be any surprise that it works in her favor. This moment shows both the continued providence of God as well as the power of prayer and fasting. While we may be fearful of approaching earthly kings, we never have to be afraid of approaching God. While earthly kings often withhold good fortune in favor of self-preservation and glorification, we serve a God who delights in answering prayers. What man so often plans to show his own might, God uses instead to glorify himself. Men can scheme and plan and prepare all day long, but the Lord has the final say in all.…

It’s okay to grieve for what’s been lost, even if it was given away for the right reasons. Grief without a plan leads to aimless wandering instead of purposeful progression.

They say if you live long enough, you either die a hero or live long enough to see yourself become the villain. Mordecai manages to experience both happenings in very quick succession. This passage shows us that you can do the right thing and have very different outcomes for your actions.

When our tempers control us, regret can’t take away the damage we cause. Good men raise good children. Blessing comes from inner beauty.

We are called to be people of peace. After all, Christ is the Prince of Peace. It’s our job to pursue peace and perpetrate peace in the world. This isn’t always easy but it is necessary. Realizing the hope we have in Jesus allows us to find peace that is beyond the understanding of others. The only way to experience true peace is by accepting the free gift of grace from the shedding of Christ's blood. Each of us is searching for that missing peace. It turns out that Jesus is the missing piece, in our search for missing peace. This is why Christ came. If we are his people, we must be characterized by peace.…

Good doesn’t exist outside of the blessing of God.…
