Mark 5 Don't be afraid, only believe

Sun, 20 Jul 2008 22:07:00 GMT

Do feel like you are filled with thousands of demons? Do you feel like God will never answer you after years of prayers? Have others said to give up and don't bother God because it is too late? Read Mark 5 relive the depth of despair and hopelessness.

Mark 4 "THE BIG SECRET!!!!!"

Sun, 13 Jul 2008 14:54:00 GMT

Jesus plainly says, "This is the secret of the kingdom." What secret could be bigger than the cure for cancer, the discovery of nuclear power, fire, the secret of energy or medicine or eternal youthfulness? It is revealed in the parable of the sower. Some will scoff and say that is foolishness but others will be become filled with a power similar to the power the raised Jesus from the dead. Listen! He who has ears, let him hear.

Today it is still possible to be a leader and live by faith. When all seems to be impossible in our eyes, God shows up. Faith is the substance of things hope for, of things not seen. Mark Stahl shares his ministry experiences of faith during this morning's class.

Strangely Anointed

denniskyle@hotmail.com — Mon, 9 Jun 2008 03:01:00 GMT

We are now in the greatest move of God right where you and I live. Joel 2:28 speaks of the days were are in. God is speaking to adults, teenagers, and children. God is speaking today through dreams and visions. We are what God says we are! We are what the Bible (Word of God) says we are. We need to let the anointing of God flow through us the church. We are a peculiar people that are being strangely anointed. We are the called, the chosen, and the appointed for such a time as this.

Inspired

Mon, 9 Jun 2008 02:51:00 GMT

In 2 Timothy 3:16 the men who wrote the scriptures were inspired by the Holy Spirit. So today we are inspired by someone in our life. Who is the person that has inspired your life? Today the Holy Spirit is inspiring us the church to go beyond we have ever gone before.

Hearing the Word of God and Keeping It

Mon, 2 Jun 2008 02:22:00 GMT

Jesus said that the persons blessed by God are those who hear his Word and keep it. We must become a people who hear and keep, who hear and obey. Not mindlessly, but with intent and determination.

Mark 3 "Obey and cast out demons"

Sun, 25 May 2008 23:48:00 GMT

Mark 3 is training to obey and be healed now. Jesus dealt with demons. Are you ready for this? It doesn't matter. It is happening around you and too you anyway. Learn to do the devil damage.

Fellowship with the Lord that give us the power we need as leaders

Sun, 25 May 2008 23:43:00 GMT

What do you do when you have found yourself without the power of God? How did you continue on? The Lord has given us basic avenues to be continually filled with his power. The word and prayer. There are other ways in which God does it but as leaders we must be devoted to the word and prayer. Various scriptures point to this. It is hard work at times and so we decide to work hard at time in the word and praying continually.

Jesus changes everything

Sun, 20 Apr 2008 18:08:00 GMT

God is not bound by our limitations. Christ cuts through any generational troubles, patterns, curses, and brings his healing, restoration, and newness. In Christ family background, culture, race, former religion no longer are the defining factors of who we are. Rather, in Christ, we, individually are a new creation; collectively we belong to his church, and become his people.

Mark 2 "Your a part of a loaf, but not a loafer."

Sun, 13 Apr 2008 18:10:00 GMT

When God introduce bread that was consecrated and kept in the holy place in the temple it had great meaning for the Isrealites over 3,000 years ago. Jesus takes up the subject in Mark 2:23-28. In this message we look at what the consecrated bread meant then, what it meant when Jesus was born and what it mean where you live today. Where do we go when we are lonely, depressed, poor, a mess and malnurished? Where is the answer today and how is the answer today?

Resurrection today

Sun, 6 Apr 2008 18:11:00 GMT

Are you sensing the power of the resurrection today? Is that power still flowing? A few thought on 1 Corinthians 15. Where is your head today? All the treasures of wisdom and knowledge are hidden in Jesus Christ. We need to be reminded of what is available right now, when it comes to the resurrection. What about the those who say that the resurrection never happened?

This World Is Not Home -- We're All Migrants

Sun, 20 Jan 2008 16:47:00 GMT

Our father, Abraham, was a "sojourner," a migrant as we would say nowadays.

He and his wife Sarah left their original home and travelled through places they had never been before. By faith, their hope was to receive a homeland that had no origin in human aspirations or construction. Rather, they looked ahead, not behind, to receive a homeland designed, conceived, and created by God.

By faith we, who have believed in Christ, are also migrants. Our home is not here, but rests in the heart of God. Therefore, though we live on this planet, though we have learned values based on the things of this world, we pursue those things no longer. Rather, we long for righteousness, mercy, and love, values grounded in the kingdom of God. We look ahead, not behind, for Abraham's real homeland, too.

Start 2008 with a Journey to Joy

Sun, 13 Jan 2008 20:36:00 GMT

Are you prepared to journey into joy? Where will your current direction take you? The gospel of Mark, when put into practice will take you to a fruitful place in your life that will give fullness of joy. The first cry of the book of Mark is to prepare!!! Examine your life and acknowledge your guilt. That is step one. Step two is to begin to follow Jesus in the little everyday opportunities. We will examine as we go where they are and what to do. God be with you in your journey to joy and the vision for the next step. So start by sitting quietly and asking God for the help you need to be prepared. Another daily practice, I will encourage since we are told to pray without ceasing, is as follows. Pray the Lord's Prayer (Mt 6:9) in the prayer pattern of the apostle Peter in the book of Acts at 9am, noon and 3pm. It only takes 25 seconds but in those 25 seconds you are bringing to your mind, seven key principles in following Jesus, you are praying the perfect prayer, you are building your faith by hearing the word of God spoken from your lips and you are a step closer to praying without ceasing.

Creating an enviroment of faith and love.

Sun, 23 Dec 2007 22:17:00 GMT

There is a lot of talk about global warming, but there needs to be more talk about global cooling. The cooling of our hearts of faith and love toward God. The epistle of Jude explains how to create an environment of faith.

Sunday Message Dec 16th

Mon, 17 Dec 2007 06:41:00 GMT

The second half of this message vanished. Here's the jist of it.

How far do we allow our minds to wander?

The apostle Peter wants our minds too ponder the truth of our faith with every bit of concentrated effort.

What is a specific way Peter urges us to make every effort?

A fight against thoughts we know are greedy or immoral, Peter says is critical. We will at some point encounter teachers who will subtly encourage you to allow sinful, lustful thoughts to linger in your mind. Jesus died for you so it is ok. He'll forgive you. It is easy to forget that we were cleansed completely from our old sins and now to not make any, none, no room at all.

We are called to be holy in our thinking. If we lose that battle in our mind, we will lose the battle in our hearts and once we lose our hearts, we could return to the vomit like a dog or the mud like a pig. It would be better if we had never known the truth. 2 Peter 2

Thank Jesus for his salvation and fight, fight, fight for clean thinking.

I don't have a sense of urgency

Mon, 10 Dec 2007 01:05:00 GMT

2 Peter talks more about an urgency that I need than any other epistle. Jesus is coming and I don't feel a sense of urgency that I should. How about you? What should we do about it? If I do have that sense I will see everything so much differently.

Learning to Walk

Sun, 25 Nov 2007 22:58:00 GMT

There are three basic positions that must be taken in order to walk. The extended position, the recoil position and the passing position. 3rd John covers these three positions. The extended position is a position of hospitality. The recoil position is a positiion of prayer and the passing position is a position of passing on an example to others. You can not walk as God intended unless you constantly assume these three positions as a way of life. Jesus loves you and wants to follow him. Walk as he walked.

How do I recognized when an evil spirit is directing what is spoken?
How do know if it is the Holy Spirit who is speaking?

1 John 4 begins with the answer to these questions then moves into:
What is God's love?
How can I experience a complete and perfect life?

Connecting with God's love through the Holy Spirit is a choice God wants us to make.

Prepare, finding faith, living love

Sun, 2 Sep 2007 22:45:00 GMT

It is time well spent for the farmer to till the soil till it is soft and mellow. It is even more essential for us to acknowledge our guilt over sins of all kinds till our heart breaks under the pressure and opens up to God in deeper ways. Once this is accomplished, we will sense a new desire for prayer and holiness in our lives. We will then find faith in really drinking in God's word in prayer and fellowship. Having done that we must pray for the Lord to show us how to express the fresh love of Jesus to others. Not a selfish love that protects our comfort and security, but a sacrificial love like Christ that produces changed lives.

It's time to turn to a first love, holy relationship with Jesus Christ the coming King. May the next 40 years show many in our culture turning from the old and turning to a new lifestyle of holy love for Jesus.

Exerpt from http://fastandpray.com/articles/8

40 Days for 40 Years

There are moments in history when a door for massive change opens, and great revolutions for good or evil spring up in the vacuum created by these openings. In these historic moments key men and women and even entire generations risk everything to become the hinge of history, the pivotal point that determines which way the door will swing.

The rebellious generation of the 60Ãïïs seized its moment, and history crashed into the deep abyss of drug addiction, sexual immorality, hatred for authority, and a rejection of the law of God. 1967 was a culminating and defining moment in that rebellion. In 1967, 100,000 young people, aged 15-25 flocked to San Francisco to experience the hippie movement. This mass convergence was sparked by the hit song, San Francisco, (Wear a Flower in your Hair). Once there, they experimented with LSD, pot, casual sex and Eastern mysticism in what became known as the ÃïïSummer of Love.Ãïï

When these newly recruited Flower Children returned home at the end of the summer, they brought with them new styles and ideas, flooding the cities of the US and Europe with a message that opposed authority and scorned conservative morals. This counterculture rebellion was fueled by music and art, and it rapidly shifted global culture.

For 40 years we have been falling headlong into a black moral morass in America and all through the west. We are reaping the waves of destruction in every sector of our post Christian society. Can America survive another 40 years? We are declaring NO! A thousand times NO! Unless a massive spiritual shift occurs at this moment our children will live under an antichrist system and Godless enculturation that will bring about the demise of America, as we know it.

But God has a prescription for such a massive shift and it is revealed in the power of the great transitional 40-day fast. God in His sovereign control over the parade of history delivered the Israelites out of Egypt. Longing to release a moral code that would give foundations for righteousness, for time and eternity, God summoned Moses to a 40-day fast on Mount Sinai. In that fast all of history changed and the law of God was delivered from heaven to earth. And if America is going to return to God it must recover that law again as its foundation for truth.

Elijah, at the height of JezebelÃïïs cultic dominion over Israel fasted 40 days, broke the spell of Jezebel off of his own life and received a mandate to anoint the next generation. That fast unleashed a movement that toppled JezebelÃïïs regime of hell, which perpetrated the destruction of family, the killing of innocent children, the silencing of the voice of GodÃïïs people and the widespread culture of sexual immorality. The fruit of that fast culminated in the utter destruction of Baal worship in Israel.

Also in the fullness of time the glorious gospel era was born when Jesus fasted 40 days and those who sat in darkness saw a great light. Clearly the 40-day fast is heavenÃïïs great transitional prescription, moving nations from failure to fulfillment of promise. Is it any surprise that when Jesus was to enter into His great sacrifice where death would be swallowed up in victory, Elijah and Moses appear with Him on the Mount of Transfiguration. All three of them were together as the 40-day fasters. They presided over the great transitions of history.

We review selected mothers provided in the Scriptures: Eve, Jochebed, Ruth, Rebekkah, Athaliah, Jehosheba, Mary. Each of these make life choices that profoundly affect the outcome of persons, families, or even nations. The fundamental choices they make reflect their trust in God, or, their trust in their own desires.

After this too brief review, we reflect on Jesus' question, "Who are my mother and my brothers?" We conclude noting his own answer to the matter: "Whoever does the will of God."

Am I filled with envy by the good things others do? Do I want the position someone else has? Is there a Christian praising God I want to eliminate?

I need love! Love doesn't come from me and never will. Love only comes from God and always will. Confess envy and hatred as sin and God will forgive you. After doing that, ask God in Jesus name to fill you with his love. God gives us his love by the Holy Spirit. Lets really love each other because love liberally flows from God and can flow through us when we open our hearts to him.

Our love for God is only as genuine as our love for the people of Unalaska.
My love for God is tested and measured by the help I give to the needy within my reach.

Love is packaged in patience, kindness and goodness. P-K-G. Pkg. (package)
You let the love of God flow through you by being patient, kind and good to others. Plan to love. Love deliberately. Love is always a choice moment by moment.

It is critical that the package is delivered. How can I show the patience, kindness and goodness of God at the Post Office? Patience, kindness & goodness or PKG abbreviation for package.

John Honan - As we read 1 John 3:1-10 it mentions the family of God into which we born and adopted. We are doubly secure in Christ. Not only that but our sins are lifted off, taken from us and put far, far away. Now that makes us free. Freedom is now, not something I hope for. But how do I experience that freedom today? Earlier in 1 John we are called to confess each sin, then we must exercise our faith in the death of Jesus for each sin and see ourselves completely free from the sin confessed and exercise that freedom by choosing to love each other, not with words but in clear, practical acts of patience and kindness.

Easter Sunday Message

Honan - On the basis of all the evidence for Christ's resurrection, and considering the fact that Jesus offers forgiveness of sin and an eternal relationship with God, who would be so foolhardy as to reject Him? Christ is alive! He is living today.

You can trust God right now by faith through prayer. Prayer is talking with God. God knows your heart and is not so concerned with your words as He is with the attitude of your heart. If you have never trusted Christ, you can do so right now.

The prayer I prayed is: "Lord Jesus, I need You. Thank You for dying on the cross for my sins. I open the door of my life and trust You as my Savior. Thank You for forgiving my sins and giving me eternal life. Make me the kind of person You want me to be. Thank You that I can trust You." (From" Evidence that demands a verdict" by Josh McDowell

Mon, 2 Apr 2007 00:02:00 GMT

Sunday Message April 1st John Honan Are you stuck in sin? Looking for a way out?

First be willing to say that sin is sin and not make light of it. Agree with God that it needs to go. Confess it.

Second, look at what God's basic commands are. 1 John 3:23 says "Believe in the name of Jesus Christ and love one another."
Can you believe that Jesus will help you? You are commanded to believe that. Choose to believe in the power and ability of Jesus Christ to save you from sin now and forever. He has promised to provide a way of escape when you are tempted. 1 Corinthians 10. Ask God to show you the way of escape and take it.

Third, choose to love the people God has put in your life. Your sin brings them down spiritually and in other ways you may not see right now.

Repeat this process whenever you sin. Persevere in this and you will become a mature saint reflecting a conformity to Christ.

Sunday School April 1st - Reflections in 1 Corinthians (A)

Mon, 2 Apr 2007 00:00:00 GMT

Reflections in 1 Corinthians (A)

The overriding principle of 1 Corinthians stands in this: Christ Jesus is Lord. Therefore, everyone who claims Jesus as Lord needs to live his/her life in keeping with what Christ wants. Jesus does not force his lordship, our submission is willingly given. But if we have chosen to give him lordship over our lives, then his call is that we live that way.

The Lord Jesus calls men and women to live as Jesus himself lived: not for his own gain, but for the gain of others. So we love as he loved.

March 25th Sunday Message 1 John 1 "The fellowship chapter"

Sun, 25 Mar 2007 23:21:00 GMT

John Honan - There are bible chapters that are famous for certain topics. Hebrew's 11 "The faith chapter", John 15 "The abiding chapter", Psalm 23 "Shepherd's chapter" etc. 1 John 1 to me is "The fellowship chapter". The secrets to true fellowship are found here. It starts with how real we see Jesus who came with real flesh and blood. Jesus' physical body was just like ours, except without sin. If we accept him fully as complete man and complete God we can have complete fellowship with him. Secondly our fellowship with each other is based on how completely we walk in the light. We walk in the light completely by acknowledging our sin and confessing them. The blood of Jesus is in full swing cleansing us and opening guenuine fellowship when we walk in light and not in darkness. Some people are hard to relate too. Each day, ask God to bless them and forgive you for any bad attitudes. This is walking in the light and this is how your joy with Christ and other Christians will be full.

The last specific matter that Paul addresses with the Corinthian Christians concerns money that they have promised to share with the poor in a far-away country, Judea. Paul reminds them of their promises and gives specific instructions on how to make the collection and how to send it to their brothers and sisters in need.

Paul closes the letter with various greetings.

March 18th Sunday School - 1 Corinthians 15:35-58

Mon, 19 Mar 2007 01:26:00 GMT

1 Corinthians 15:35-58

Paul continues his discussion about resurrection to show that resurrection makes sense. (a) In order for a seed to grow into a plant, the seed must "die." If the seed does not yield itself, then no plant grows. (b) A seed has a certain shape, different from the plant that grows from it.

In the same way, our present material bodies are like the seed. The material body must die, it must yield itself, so that a "spiritual" body may arise from the ashes. It is substantive, but has qualities the former body does not have: the new is imperishable and immortal. (The former was perishable and mortal.)

This new, spiritual body is not to be confused with a non-physical existence: rather, it is to be "further clothed" than ever before (to borrow from 2 Corinthians 5:4). It is a body like that of the Risen Christ!

When these things take place, and they all take place in the order and timing of God, then death itself will be destroyed, swallowed up in the victory of Life! Consequently, and despite the challenges to the contrary, every work the believer pursues with great diligence is not in vain in the Lord.

What do you love? Wickedness? Truth? Love for the truth is something everyone can have. It is God's desire for you to be filled with love for the truth. If you want love for the truth, you must first accept the truth. Jesus is the truth. Accept Jesus by faith into your heart by simply asking him in prayer. Now love for the truth (in Jesus) is poured into our hearts by the Holy Spirit! Wow, say something like, "Lord, please fill me with love for the truth. I open my heart to the love your Holy Spirit gives us. Thank you for filling me with love for the truth! Amen
In the second chapter of second Thessalonians, Paul goes on to tell us that Jesus won't come back untill the great rebellion occurs against God and then the Anti-Christ comes on the scene in world wide power. Well, befor there can be a great rebellion their must be a great revival. So at this time we are seeing great momentum world wide in people come to Christ. This will continue till the glory of God has swept the earth and people have had the chance to "taste and see that the Lord is good." Then the great rebellion will occur. In the meantime... lets keep doing good in Jesus name by praising him, loving each other in practical ways and sharing what we have with those around us. This combined with prayer will open the door for the good news and great glory to spill into our world till Jesus returns.

March 11th Sunday School - 1 Corinthians 15:1-35

1 Corinthians 15:1-35

Some Christians in Corinth thought there was no resurrection of the dead. Paul challenges this thought head-on through a sharp, logical discussion to help them see the foolishness of that way of thinking. He notes that if there is no resurrection of the dead, then Christ has not been raised. If Christ has not been raised, then the basis of the church's faith is vitiated.

How can a people, whose very existence depends upon the notion of a resurrected Christ, conclude there is no resurrection of the dead? Paul's first argument presents evidence from eyewitnesses to the resurrection. Paul's secondary argument is that the church exists for no other reason than Christ's resurrection. Without resurrection of Christ, there is no church.

Christ, the Risen Christ, now reigns while every enemy is being put into subjection to him, death itself being the last enemy to die. And then, at the End, Christ delivers his kingdom to God, and bows in complete surrender himself to God, so that his God becomes all things to all peoples. This event raises all sorts of questions in our minds, rife with speculative answers. But we simply say, "Praise God from whom all blessings flow!"

March 4th Sunday School - 1 Corinthians 14:20-40

Sun, 4 Mar 2007 15:00:00 GMT

1 Corinthians 14:20-40

The Corinthian assemblies were undisciplined, chaotic, confusing events so that (apparently) when visitors might attend the assembly they would respond saying these people were mad. Paul's responds to say that God does all things in decency and in order, and the Church should do so likewise. He explains that tongue speakers, prophets, and certain disruptive wives need to hold their peace. There is a time and place for speaking, for asking questions, indeed, for challenging whatever is said.

But what takes place during the assemblies of the whole congregation needs to be done in a way that edifies, that engenders love for God and growth in Jesus.

Love for God

Sun, 25 Feb 2007 16:00:00 GMT

Coe Whittern teaches on Jesus and the baptism and power of the Holy Spirit in and on and through Jesus as he obeys the Father because of his intimate relationship with Him.

Jesus laid down his former glory and was a man like you and me except without sin.

John 14:8
Jesus ,"I tell you the truth, anyone who has faith in me will do what I have been doing. He will do even greater things than these, because I am going to the Father. And I will do whatever you ask in my name, so that the Son may bring glory to the Father. You may ask me anything in my name, and I will do it."

"If you love me, you will obey what I command."
It requires maintenance but we can be clean.

We have to take time and pursue God.
"If you seek me you will find me"

To the measure we seek intimacy with God and obey him is the measure of God's presence in our lives.

Jesus did what he did as a human just like you and me, but he was without sin. He had a completely intimate relationship with the Father. He had an unlimited anointing of the Holy Spirit but he turns around and says we can have that same relationship and we can have the same results and we need to not settle for less.

But we cant go for the power. We have to go for being clean. We have to go for pursuing intimacy with the Father that loves us dearly. We have to yeild ourselves to him, wanting Him to be free to work his plan in us. Knowing it is an ongoing progressive thing that will work over time to give us our full inheritance and make us like his character. That we can be what he said, we can be full of power.

Feb 25th Sunday School - 1 Corinthians 14:1-19

Sun, 25 Feb 2007 15:00:00 GMT

1 Corinthians 14:1-19

Paul now returns to other aspects of the Corinthian assemblies. He establishes the purpose of the customary, weekly, Lord's day assembly: to build up the body of Christ.

Any worship activity that inherently fails to strengthen others, needs to be set aside. For example, though speaking in tongues may allow one's own spirit to address God, it does no one else any good, because no one understands the language. So, if there is no one to interpret the language, then such activity needs to be kept to oneself and the Lord. Paul gives another example to say that prophets, though speaking by the Spirit of God, must take turns in their speaking so that everyone may have opportunity to understand and to evaluate what was said.

Paul's interest, in short, is that genuine love prevail so that each person may use whatever gifts one has to help others be edified. And not to grandstand or show off.

Coe Whittern, Jon Paden, and John Honan talk about the congregational meetings and what Jesus is specifically saying to our church body

How does one live out the call of Christ on his or her life?

Sun, 11 Feb 2007 15:00:00 GMT

1 Corinthians 13

How does one live out the call of Christ on his or her life? The "most excellent" way is the way of love.

But this love is not merely a sublime feeling or emotion. It is a love that makes a demand on one's life to behave in a certain way. It is a behavior that pursues the best outcome for another's life.

This love is a way of patience, of kindness; a way that erases wrongs against one; it is a way that protects and endures. Even when we don't feel like it.

This love is eternal, not only in the sense of duration, but in the sense of quality. To walk out Jesus' call on our lives is to love passionately the best interests of our fellows.

The Sheep, the hired hand, and the Shepherd

Sun, 21 Jan 2007 16:00:00 GMT

John 10:1-18

Jesus uses three illustrations to show his relationship with his people.

(1) He compares himself to a shepherd that knows his sheep by name, and whose sheep know him intimately.

(2) He compares himself to a secure gate, that opens and closes to give his sheep safe passage from the fold to the pasture, and back again. He secures an abundant life for his sheep.

(3) He compares himself to a "good" shepherd, distinct from hired hands. When trouble comes, a hired hand runs away. Jesus, rather, makes the choice to allow the wolf to feast upon him, and thus saves his sheep.

1 Corinthians 11:2-16 (Part 3)

Sun, 21 Jan 2007 15:00:00 GMT

In modern American society, there is little if anything that symbolizes to people generally that one honors some else by their dress. In Corinthian society, however, headgear in the Church's assembly spoke volumes about honor and dishonor toward others.

Paul's writing to the Corinthian Church is very clear: Men and Women have differing places related to honor and dishonor. How men and women relate to one another has root in the fact that Jesus himself has a head, an authority, over him: God. The relationship, consequently, that people have with Christ, is modeled by Christ toward God.

Putting on Christ, How to operate with Him, and the support we have

Sun, 14 Jan 2007 16:00:00 GMT

John Honan - 1 Thess 5 - My discipline, will power or effort is not the answer to my struggle as a Christian. God opens his hand to me through Jesus Christ. Learning to slow down and look to Jesus from a place of total weakness in myself is where the power will begin to flow and bring victory. Believing Jesus really is all I need. It is very difficult to learn to completely reject self reliance and completely trust the Lord. How many times will you have to fail to before this is learned?

Find out what the bible says to pass the hope test.

Sun, 7 Jan 2007 16:00:00 GMT

John Honan - A new year message from 1 Thessalonians 4 attempting to expose and destroy every false hope through scriptures - illustrating the point that the wicked, foolish, and godless persons have no hope.

When the bible is used to define who the wicked, foolish, and godless are - there is no one left.

Having clearly destroyed the hope of all mankind for 2007 and all eternity the ground work has been laid to properly present a real hope that never disappoints.

Only those "in Christ" can pass the hope test according to the scriptures.

Steps are given from the scriptures on how to start the new year with a eternal, proven guarantee.

1 Corintians 11:2-6 (Part 1)

Sun, 7 Jan 2007 15:00:00 GMT

May women pray or prophesy alongside men in the church's assemblies? The answer is: Yes. But.

Whether a man prays or prophesies, or a woman prays or prophesies, they each must demonstrate that they are in subjection to their respective heads. This is accomplished when the man who prays or prophesies must do so with his head uncovered. Otherwise, he dishonors his head. A woman who prays or prophesies must do so with her head covered. Otherwise, she dishonors her head.

In short, when the church has assembled (similar to our present-day "regular" Sunday morning services), a man who prays must not have a hat on, a woman must have a hat on. If they are not praying or prophesying, then there is no discussion about their headgear that applies.

Let Jesus do the weeding

Sun, 17 Dec 2006 16:00:00 GMT

John Honan - Luke 8:5-15 Prepare the heart soil (humility). Plant (prayer). Water (Holy Spirit). Weed (ask Jesus to pull the thorn bush). There is a lot of work Jesus, through the Holy Spirit, wants to do in me. I must see the great depth of my sin, my need and then humbly ask Jesus to do what I have done a lousy job doing. Preparing the soil, watering and weeding. I initially thought of myself as proficient in the repenting and watering business. Now I am asking for more and more help from Jesus and then watching him do well, what I did badly.

We know where we're going

Sun, 17 Dec 2006 02:11:00 GMT

Jorge Alvarado - Sunday message - Don't worry about what is behind and to the right or to the left, we can focus on Jesus now. We know where we are going

Philippians. 3:11-14 (NIV)

and so, somehow, to attain to the resurrection from the dead.
Not that I have already obtained all this, or have already been made perfect, but I press on to take hold of that for which Christ Jesus took hold of me. Brothers, I do not consider myself yet to have taken hold of it. But one thing I do: Forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead, I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus.

1 Cor. 15:57-58 (NIV)

But thanks be to God! He gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ. Therefore, my dear brothers, 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.

Prepare

Sun, 10 Dec 2006 16:00:00 GMT

What are the valleys, mountains, crooked roads and rough roads in your life that John the Baptist is talking about.

Can you do anything about it?

1. Some feel prepared.
2. Some feel unprepared.
3. Some haven't thought about it.

What group are you in?

In preparing, it's good if you have received Jesus into your heart.
Now it's time to mature and prepare by pressing into Jesus.

How do we do that?

It has to do with humility, prayer, seeking and waiting, repenting. Can you tell how humble you are? How proud you are? Can you tell if you are waiting for God? Is repenting affecting your behavior? Your perception vs. reality.

1 Corinthians Chapter 9

Sun, 3 Dec 2006 05:14:00 GMT

Paul reminds the Corinthian church of his right as an apostle of Christ to them. After he establishes that right, he refuses to take advantage of it. He wants them to learn humility in order that their arrogance not destroy them.

Paul then shows the Church how he sets aside his personal advantage in order to focus on the work Christ has set out for his people. He calls the Church to do likewise.

Paul's own focus is to become all things to all men so that by all means "some may be saved."

You are not your own

Jon Paden - Addenda to 1 Corinthians 5-6 Discussion

Does the Law of Moses hold for the Church?

In the Roman letter, as in the Galatian, too, Paul argues the inadequacy of the Law of Moses to help people become holy. Paul shows that while knowledge is powerful, knowledge does not guarantee prescribed behavior. Knowledge of the Law does not give the will power to obey it. Rather, knowledge has emphasized all the more keenly the failure to behave in a way consistent with holiness.

Yet, there are several places in the New Testament (NT) in which we find an appeal made to some aspect of the Mosaic Law. When Paul levels the charge against the man who lives with his fatherÃïïs wife in 1 Corinthians 5:2, he makes an implicit reference to Deuteronomy 27:20, ÃïïCursed be he who lies with his fatherÃïïs wife, because he has uncovered her who is his fatherÃïïs.Ãïï The phrasing of the Old Testament (OT) passage leaves no ambiguity: it is of no consequence whether the fatherÃïïs wife was mother to the son. Now, it hardly seems likely that the woman was the manÃïïs actual mother. Nonetheless, the prohibition stands against any son of a father who would lay with his fatherÃïïs wife, whomever she may be.

We also note Romans 7:1-3. In 7:2 Paul says a woman is bound Ãïïby law to her husband as long as he lives.Ãïï Paul will again make use of this same marriage ideal in 1 Corinthians 7:39.

The Law of Moses does not hold as the means or evidence of covenant relationship with GodÃïïs people. Rather, the sacrifice of Christ does this. However, the ethics of the Law still point Christians to GodÃïïs desire for their obedience and walk with Christ.

============

PaulÃïïs authority, and its moderation

Scripture indicates that the apostles form an aspect of the foundation of the Church. For example, Ephesians 2:20 indicates that Jesus is the cornerstone for the Church, the apostles and prophets are the foundation, and individual Christians are the stones or bricks that make up its structure. This whole become the temple in which dwells God by means of the Holy Spirit.

Despite the place and authority that the apostle holds, Paul rarely makes overt use of this authority. He prefers to persuade disciples of Christ through dialogue. (See also 2 Corinthians 4:2.) He prefers to appeal to their better judgment, indeed, to their love.

An example of this stands in Philemon 8-10. Paul writes, ÃïïThough I am bold enough in Christ to command you to do what is required, yet for loveÃïïs sake I prefer to appeal to you Ãïï I, Paul, an ambassador and now a prisoner also for Christ Jesus Ãïï I appeal to you for my child, Onesimus, whose father I have become in my imprisonment.Ãïï

Here Paul indicates his prerogative as an apostle of Christ to command Philemon to accede to his will, but Paul expressly states he prefers to appeal to PhilemonÃïïs better judgment. Indeed, to PhilemonÃïïs love.

In 1 Corinthians 5:3-4, Paul exercises his apostolic authority. He allows for no discussion of the matter, and directs the Church unequivocally to the outcome of the affair.
