Lord's Prayer

All People's Church Falcon Lake
Pastor Brian
Matthew 6
This, then, is how you should pray: 'Our Father in heaven: May your holy name be honored;  may your Kingdom come; may your will be done on earth as it is in heaven.  Give us today the food we need.  Forgive us the wrongs we have done, as we forgive the wrongs that others have done to us.  Do not bring us to hard testing, but keep us safe from the Evil One.'

Is your prayer life exactly where you want it to be? Not likely. The disciples asked Jesus "teach us to pray" not how.
They noticed Jesus didn't do structured prayer but real prayer. V6 pray secretly.

1. There is a reward of prayer.
We think a real prayer should be answered. But God wants to reward us for prayer time. The Pharisees prayed publicly so they could be collecting compliments and get their reward from people.
God wants us to pray in secret and will reward us. It's not about words but about communion with God. Seeking God with all our hearts. It's not a magic formula. It's not the words that make us Christian but the new life God gives to those who genuinely seek him.
Be aware that the Lord's Prayer often becomes just vain repetition.
Our Father. This is the first time in the Bible that God is called father. ABBA (daddy). Jesus calls God Father 17 times.
We are adopted by God as his children. We can now call him Daddy.
Our Father is limitless in capacity. Big enough to help us with every issue we ever face.
We need to open up in intimacy with God. That can be difficult. That Honest communion with God is the reward that God gives us.

2. Alignment with God. Your will be done on earth and in my life. Me aligned with God. Sin interrupts the flow of God's will. Isaiah said here am I send me. Never pray this prayer if you're not serious about doing God's will.

3. Prayer brings us the provision of God. Daily not monthly supplies. We are not entitled to long term enough. Ask God for relief from fear for the future. Proverbs says I need only what I need for today. Contentment is great gain. Be Content or you jeopardize your intimacy with God. The Lord is my shepherd. We ask for bread not cake. It's OUR bread. That includes the neighbor. Share it. It is a gift. Not a right. All material possessions are on loan from God.
Our union with God makes us a blessing to the world. Forgive as we forgive. It takes 2 people to build a relationship. Forgiveness in us is God flowing through us.
God is not the author of temptation. When you travel into the desert you must have a capable guide. We are pilgrims traveling with a divine guide. Lord we trust you to guide us in the right path. Keep us from the deceit of Satan.

In the secret place God will reward us. Challenge to become a people of prayer. Yours is the power and the kingdom.

Falcon Lake all people's church

Pastor Brian
Kids camp is August 10-14 volunteers are still needed.
The Love of God was the favorite theme of Brian's professor Dr Murray. Brian was invited to his house for supper. The professor and his wife sat side by side at dinner holding hands. All his life was about showing God's love.

Pastoral prayer: wars and rumours of war in the Ukraine and Africa. God is sufficient.
Lord we can't begin to describe the depth of your love. We can't fathom such love. Thank you that you are the creator God. We don't always honour you and we ask for your forgiveness and restoration. We want to walk in your mercy and come boldly into your presence to meet our needs and help us in our struggles.
We ask that you pour out your healing on our friends and family. Help us all to rest in you.
We pray for those who are confused in life and we pray that you give guidance.
We pray for our brothers and sisters around the world that are being persecuted. We pray for protection and peace for them.
You have asked us to bring peace. We pray for the persecutors that you will reveal yourself to them in dreams and teach peace to everyone.
We pray that the glory of Christ may shine on everyone. Amen.

Acts 15. A foundational story that keeps touching us.
Jewish believers told gentile believers they had to be circumcised. The church sent Paul and Barnabas to Jerusalem for a ruling.
What was at stake here? To be a Jew you had to be circumcised.
God promised Abraham a son that would become a nation and the messiah would come from there. 
God established a global blessing.
Some of the Jews thought that to be in a proper relationship with God you needed Jewish rules plus Christ.
They missed the point that Jesus fulfilled the Scriptures. Jesus was the finishing touch. All the roads of Jewish scriptures point to Christ and are fulfilled in Jesus. Jesus is not just an add on. In Christ alone my hope is found.
The prosperity gospel says Jesus affirms that the godly will be rich. That is so wrong. They miss the transformational power of Jesus.
Many denominations have been built around the prosperity slogan. But there is always a catch.
Jesus offers salvation as a gift of God. Nothing more nothing less. The Jesus plus gospel is so wrong.
Acts 15. We are saved by faith in Jesus. Nothing else.
Some believers said it is necessary to circumcise.
The law does not bring freedom. Jews can't keep the law. God's grace does it all.
We should not make it difficult for new believers. We need to reach people for Christ and resist putting burdens on new believers.

One day Bunky Baker came to church. He rode a bike always drunk. What does he think he is doing in church? Isn't this the place for messed up people?

Our only contribution to salvation is the Sin from which I need saving. It's not Jesus Plus. It's Jesus. He is the answer for the world today. Thank you Jesus. You came for sinners and that's who I am.

Father. Simple things can be so hard for us. Jesus I trust you alone. Give me the gift of the Spirit of God. I celebrate.

The Meeting House. Self Control

Get Smart Mel Brooks
Kaos vs Control in the 60s
http://m.imdb.com/title/tt0058805/

Hippies said no control means love. It was a good example of no self control. Selfish feelings. The Jesus Movement came out of that. I'm not finding real love without Jesus. Self Control changed everything. In power control. Strict training.
Plato was the first to start using the term in the way Paul used it.
Gluttony is but one absence if self control. For others it's addiction to narcotics or media addictions or gossip or gambling or  newness or news or work

Galatians 5 http://bible.com/59/gal.5.13.ESV For you were called to freedom, brothers. Only do not use your freedom as an opportunity for the flesh, but through love serve one another.
The struggles or successes of today are partly a result of what you seeded yesterday. Beware of purported experiences of the Holy Spirit that are founded on loss of self control. The Spirit helps us with self control. Debauchery is not being filled with the Spirit. Getting wasted is not self control. Why waste my life when the Spirit will help me love better?
Flee the evil desires of youth and pursue righteousness. The Spirit will lead us away from temptation. Plant to the Spirit.

Stop to create the space to think. Buy anti porn software. Give your credit card for someone to hold and divide your cash in envelopes. Unfriend someone. You may feel loss or grief while you starve sinful desires.
Togethering helps us to be real and pursue righteousness. They can help you to decide on who to separate from.
When you say no to temptations you honour God. Moving forward by considering the wins.
When you are under stress how do you avoid cheese cake? Or games or t.v.? Sometimes they do help destress. But be careful not to let the relaxers take control of your time.
Write down what your temptations are and how can you run away from temptations. Who are you going to talk to about it?

Meeting House Love and Gentleness

http://www.themeetinghouse.com/locations/downtown-toronto/
Baptism at 2:30 today at the Baptist church
Raised $208,000 worth of clothes for MCC.

Week 6 Love Joy Peace

Gentleness meekness are the same Greek Word
Love is expressed in joy peace patience kindness goodness
Means power that is restrained. Bear reproach without revenge.
Gentleness is not for women only. Not pacivity. Not weakness. Helping others get better. Strength that serves. Power under control.
My strength is on your side. St Bernard Rescue Dogs are born to help. I'm strong enough to serve you.

Galatians 5.22 will start a summer series on Exodus.
Let us keep in step with the spirit. Restore mend set a broken bone. With a spirit of Gentleness.
The law of Christ means the way of Christ. Love is the way of Christ.

Help someone who has been overtaken by sin. Gently. Help someone today.
Gentleness is for everyone. Be completely humble. Blessed are the gentle for they will Win new territory. Gentleness from Wisdom. Kind to everyone. Opponents must be gently instructed. How you respond says who you are.

Pray for pastors and teachers. They easily switch to an angry voice. Anger and judgment and a zeal for holiness sometimes take over and the angry voice becomes confusing the love of Jesus.

Our society celebrates fame and accomplishments but not gentleness.

Jesus is our model in humility and gentleness. Catch the vision.

"Come to me. .. My burden is light. You get rest" Freedom of relationship with God. Freedom from the world of religion.
Gayle D Erwin.

We mourn with those who mourn the victims. Sorrow grieves with others. Anger zeroes in on the perpetrator.

Gentleness says I will serve you for the best of all. Paul publicly rebuked Peter about the wrong attitude.
Have we lost the ability to grieve? There are people who come alongside and help bear each other's burden.

What does it mean to be filled with the spirit of gentleness?
Prayer. Heavenly father thank you for the mentorship of Christ. Lead us.

All Peoples Church Falcon Lake

Service starts at 9:45 Sunday.
Choir from E Free Church Steinbach. It's worth the trip.
Rev George Bell will be speaking next Sunday. Pastor Brian Hamilton will be in Nova Scotia at his aunt's 98 birthday party next Sunday.
Choir. How marvelous how wonderful is my Savior's love for me. WOW!
My faith has found a resting place. It is enough that Jesus died and that he died for me. My hope is built on nothing less than Jesus love. All other ground is sinking sand. There is wonderful power in the blood of the Lamb. I have faith and hope.

Hymn To God be the glory.
Pastor's Prayer: Father we come into your presence. You are the Lord of Lords the Creator of the universe. We sit in awe and wonder that you invite us into your presence. Forgive us for failing you and each other. Allow the spirit to change us into the image of Christ. There are struggles we face. Confusion not knowing where to turn. Let it work out to your glory.
We think of those in Nepal and those in countries torn up in war. The church that is persecuted. Fill them with joy.
Help us. In Jesus name. Amen.
Choir. In Christ alone my hope is found. He is my life. What heights of love what depths of peace. I am His and He is mine. No guilt. No fear of death. In Christ alone I stand.

Pastor Brian wants that song to be sung at his funeral.

Ascension Sunday.
The Uniqueness of Christ. Luke 9.26. He preached this message in the Dominican. A young man came up after and said I disagree with you.
The mount of Transfiguration. Moses and Elijah showed up. Jesus's clothing changed to white as lightening. Moses was buried by God in an unknown grave. He did not die of old age. Elijah was snatched up to heaven in a whirlwind. After having been dead for 1500 years suddenly Moses shows up. The law of Moses pointed to Christ. Elijah was the first prophet of the gospel. They said to the disciples: This is the one we pointed to years ago. They discussed Jesus's departure from this earth. When Jesus was taken up into heaven there were 2 men telling the disciples why are you looking up into heaven?
In Revelation 2 men show up. Elijah prophecied to stop the rain. Moses turned water into blood. They will do it again at the end of days.

When the disciples recovered from the shock they wanted to build 3 booths. A Jesus booth, Elijah booth, and a Moses booth.
Jesus is absolutely unique. Not just your truth. He is THE absolute truth. He is the only way to God. That has led to so much persecution. Is that arrogance? Jesus is who he said he is our else a liar and a fraud.
Jesus is The TRUTH. Salvation is found in no one else. Other religions can give a sense of security. Only Jesus can save.
On the mountain God said: Jesus is my son. Listen to him!
Is Jesus God? Or just another prophet? A channel of divine power?
Christ is unique and Moses and Elijah testified to that. Isaiah gave a graphic description of Jesus's death long before crucifixion was even invented. Psalm 22 Jesus declared it fulfilled when he died. It was written 1000 years before it happened.
Revelation 11.15. The kingdom of the world has become the kingdom of Christ and He will reign forever and ever.
Jesus appears in Revelation over and over. All of history will wind down at the feet of Jesus. He is the focus of history. Jesus is unique. There is no parallel. No competitor. Jesus alone can reconcile us to God.
Do you know this Jesus? There is no other ultimate truth. It is Christ or nothing!
Prayer. Only you Jesus can give us life. Give us life-changing confidence.

Choir: Amazing Grace how sweet the sound. I once was lost but now I'm found. Was blind but now I see. How precious did that Grace appear. Through many dangers toils and snares Grace has led me through.
When we've been there 10,000 years bright shining as the sun we've no less days to sing God's praise than when we first begun.

See Christ in the Old Testament. Where do we we see Jesus? We want to be involved. We learn by doing.

When the rubber hits the road things get complicated.  People in church have different ideas. Some are easy to get along with others are not. Saints can be harder to get along with than the sinners.

There can be no wholeness without community. That's where Christ can be seen. You can't follow Jesus on your own. You need to submit your individual rights to the community of Jesus. Get away from sectarianism. Jesus is praying that his followers should be one as the trinity is one. John 17.
The love God pours into us and forms a community of love. We must love one another if we want to love outsiders.
Www.one88.org put on a dinner last night. The men that put it on learned to work together to make it happen.

The 10 commandments were given to create successful community. First you have to honour God and then your neighbor.

Short Form.
1. You shall have no other gods before Me.
2. You shall not make idols.
3. You shall not take the name of the LORD your God in vain.
4. Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy.
5. Honor your father and your mother.
6. You shall not murder.
7. You shall not commit adultery.
8. You shall not steal.
9. You shall not bear false witness against your neighbor.
10. You shall not covet.

Let's pray for the people in Nepal. Great grief has hit a lot of families due to the earthquake. May this lead to many peope being  brought to Jesus.

We love the Jesus that hugs the babies and doesn't condemn the adulterous woman. What is he like in the Old Testament?

Abraham was called and set apart so that the Anointed One would come from his family.

The nation of slaves were set free in Exodus.
Luke 9.30 Moses and Elijah talked to Jesus about his exodus.

What do prisoners of war talk about? Hope and faith. Faith in Jesus is the greatest gift anyone can give. In our western culture we no longer talk about faith and hope.

People living without adversity live in a WOW environment. After adversity comes perseverance, optimism and then comes rebellion. Now we live in a culture of whatever and nihilism. Anything goes without God.

3 things that survive all the cultures are faith hope and love.

What are we walking away from? Christ's plan of redemption is to set us free. Exodus 14.12 leave us alone and let us be slaves. Better than dying in the wilderness.
That's where our culture is at today. You can take people out of slavery but it's hard to take the slavery out of people.

We think we want our kids to have perseverance. That parenting does not make kids good. Romans 6.15 their nature does not change. Sin is sin. We serve the bondage of sin.

12:11 The blood is a sign. When I see the blood I will pass over you. It had to be applied and they were saved. The Seder has a specific order. It celebrated the coming of the Savior.
Flat bread was baked quickly to symbolize the urgency. 13.16 a reminder of the Lord's mighty hand. Talk about the story. The Lord will fight for you.

When Jesus came there is no need for more sacrificial lambs. He is the lamb slain once and for all.

Ephesians 2.8 do you have the culture of WOW? Jesus offers it to you. Come celebrate. The bread and the fruit of the vine in remembrance of what Jesus did. The blood on the doorway.

You and me need to tell others.

Ultrasound of baby. God created a miracle
The miracle of geese
To see Jesus through the disenfranchised
The first nations person shared his dream catcher
Wednesday night northern lights are just there to be pretty because God wants us to be delighted like children
G. K. Chesterton
Rain causes the grass to turn green. Blown away.
Look at the world with eyes of Wonder

When we see Jesus in creation we have a better understanding who Jesus is. 100% God 100% human
Philippians 2.5 a hymn written and sung by the early church
Creeds were written to help the church understand the doctrines.
Spiritual is a popular word nowadays. Relationship vs rules.
Spiritual is to recognize God and what he is doing. It's not about me and self-help.

The gospel is true spirituality. A new life of sins forgiven.

Jesus reconciled us with God. A perfect God reconciled with imperfect humans.

It's not about just good ideas. The gospel tells us that the best place to be spiritual is where we are. Participants in our community. What you believe is shown by your actions. Health is an example. We don't act on exercise until there is a health event.

John 20.30 7 signs of the gospel.  Helps us understand who Jesus is. Not to show off to Harrod. What stops me?
Sign 1 Jesus turns water into wine. Not cheap wine. Only the best. Are we so self occupied that we miss the signs God gives us. John 2.11. His disciples believe.
Sign 2. John 5. The man at the pool of Bethesda. Walks out on the Sabbath after 38 years. The religious leaders didn't celebrate the healing. They gave him the gears for carrying his mat on the Sabbath.
We can be so fixated on what we think God does that we can't see what he is actually doing.
Pray for eyes that can see what God is doing.
Look for the wonder of God.

Seeing Jesus

Dave Ens www.EasTview.org
What happens after Easter? Go back to fishing and Jesus makes breakfast.
Spirituality happens anywhere. We are trained to separate our faith from everyday work.

God doesn't see it that way. God loves the world as it is. Everyone is invited. Jesus goes through the Scriptures to explain that what happened was what was foretold. What exactly did he tell them?

This series will explore what he might have said.

Creation. Helps us to see Jesus. Can we wonder at creation? Do we notice how nice it is? Or do we complain about having to clean up all the leaves in the fall?
Do we have the wonder of a child.
Gnosticism removes wonder from human experience and relegates faith to the divine. Some people rewrote the gospels. The world is ugly and the divine metaphysical world is what the best mystics would like to achieve.

Genesis 1. In the beginning God. God creates. The Hebrew word makes it clear that this kind of creation is only possible by God.
He created and said it is good.

This was recorded as a permanent record in 6 th century B.C.? During the Babylonian exile? The Hebrews were being uncreated and wanted to record the oral traditions associated with earth creation.

John 1 in the beginning was Jesus. He was born into our world to help us to know what it means to be created. To know what creation means we need to look at Jesus. God made all the creatures.

Created out of nothing. Jesus was there. He looks at the world with wonder. He says as the father sent me I send you. We now become participants in creation when we see the wonders God created.

Alexander was born in a crowded room and everyone was explaining everything and one student stood against the wall white as a sheet in wonder at what just happened.

Look at this world and be filled with matchless wonder and then see Jesus.

Anything is possible with God.

You reached beyond imagination with love. Wonderful intimate God of love you have always been faithful in the way that you father me.

The Great Banquet

Pastor Victor www.NKMB.org
Jesus forgave sins and raised people from the dead. I'm going to die and you can come with me, he said.
Which is easier to say you will be raised or to actually raise the dead?
Vic went to visit a dying atheist and told them I am a man of faith may I pray for you? Pastor Neufeld, there are no atheists on the palliative care ward.

Hundreds of people saw Jesus alive after he had died. He now had a new body.

Did this actually happen? An atheist archeologist said there is no real empty tomb explanation except the resurrection.

Bono the great theologian explains it. Jesus died to help us through the gates of heaven. Christ does not allow us to call him anything other than who he said he was the son of God or he is a complete nut case. His friends died for that.

Blessed are those who are invited to the wedding supper of the lamb.
The one who was dead and is raised again said that. We are all invited. Will we go?

You are invited. Will you accept the invitation?

The words of Revelation.

John 6.26 the graveyard is full of people that never reached their potential. Redeem the time. The days are evil.
Be on your toes spiritually. 2015 God is taking the church from proven to take over. Give us this day our daily bread. You can only be in the will of God if you can agree to the  word of God.
Been around for a while. Got saved in the 80s. Went through all the different movements from Pentecostal to wealth and health now moving into the age of amazing Grace. Jesus said I am the living bread.
John 6:48-51 NLT

Yes, I am the bread of life!  Your ancestors ate manna in the wilderness, but they all died.  Anyone who eats the bread from heaven, however, will never die.  I am the living bread that came down from heaven. Anyone who eats this bread will live forever; and this bread, which I will offer so the world may live, is my flesh."
Mana means what is it.

Jesus looking for a growing living church.

Then sings my soul how great thou art.

How great is our  God! The Splendor of the King.

Everyone Believes Jesus Existed

Victor Neufeld www.NKMB.org
Adam and Brittany are engaged to be married!
Sincere sympathies. Mrs Hochheim passed away.
250 church youth are in SOAR inner city ministry this week.

Some time ago I Victor had a serious crisis of faith while still going through the motions in Texarkana.
Wanted to be a good teacher and went to seminary. Had wonderful teachers. Loaded up on courses, became a youth pastor, and renovated the bathroom smashing everything. That's the day I fell off the rails and stopped fellowship with God.
Couldn't wrap his head around some of the issues and became as cold as ice. Couldn't wrap his head around any world view.
Got a good job in business and made a lot of money.

Came to a fork in the road. Is Jesus who he said was? What are you going to do with Jesus? Is Jesus merely a world view? A philosophy? A story like so many others? I understood that Jesus lived. He was historical reality. Thousands met him. We have accurate historical records of his existence. Luke made a detailed account of who he was.

The media often likes to paint his deity as fiction. The stories were written a short time after Jesus was raised from the dead and exalted him above all. The first song of the church composed and published less than 10 years after the resurrection:
Philippians 2:5-11 TLV

Have this attitude in yourselves, which also was in Messiah Yeshua, Who, though existing in the form of God, did not consider being equal to God a thing to be grasped. But He emptied Himself— taking on the form of a slave, becoming the likeness of men and being found in appearance as a man. He humbled Himself— becoming obedient to the point of death, even death on a cross. For this reason God highly exalted Him and gave Him the name that is above every name, that at the name of Yeshua every knee should bow, in heaven and on the earth and under the earth, and every tongue profess that Yeshua the Messiah is Lord— to the glory of God the Father.

Jesus is the king of kings. Lord of Lords. Hosanna.

Lee Strobel was an atheistic lawyer. He decided to investigate the claims of Jesus. Charles Templeton became an atheist. He told Lee that Billy Graham was the real thing. Templeton spoke nostalgicly about Jesus the most important figure in human history. I adore Jesus. Everything pure comes from Jesus. Everybody should emulate Jesus. I miss Jesus Templeton said with tears. In what way?

Jesus is who he said he is. Do you miss him? Please pray with me and say yes to Jesus today. We are not perfect but forgiven.

Jesus messiah Lord of all. All our hope is in you.

Del Enns www.EasTview.org
The pastor at Del's church when he was a young man considered everything to be a sin. It was easy to call him a Pharisee.
We all long to do what is right. We are always looking for a better life.
Luke 11 father was Abba a loving relationship. V9-10 ask what is right or wrong. God will tell you. But don't get discouraged. The holy spirit will eventually reveal it to you.
V29 Do we follow man made rules because they are easier than waiting for God?
Who do you want to judge? Your judgement will come back to you?
Jesus reserved his harshest words for the phony religious people. Those are the people that believed very much what we believe.
7 sects of Pharisees always argued about their superior religion.
Jesus went to a Pharisee's home and deliberately did not wash his hands to try to teach him something.
Jesus said to clean your insides by giving gifts to the poor. Take care of the poor.
Don't major on the minors.
V44 Jesus insulted the Pharisees by calling them unmarked graves.
V47 Pharisees killed prophets and built monuments in their honor.
V52 what are we teaching the next generation? Stop being a Pharisee. Allow the spirit of God to lead you.
Read the Psalm of single mindedness.

Eye witness: Zaccheus

God is able he will go before us.
Then sings my soul my Saviour God to you. How great you are.

Luke 19:1-10 Zaccheus was a rich guy that climbed a tree so he could see Jesus. He gave half his wealth to the poor and refunded over paid taxes.
Our lives are changed through an encounter with Jesus. Change always takes place.
What does that change look like? Zaccheus was a Jewish tax collector. A border tax collector? Charging whatever amount he wanted. He was rich before and able to buy the tax franchise from the Romans. Now he was really rich. Very unpopular traitor helping the Romans. He was short but able to climb a sycamore fig tree. http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ficus_sycomorus

He probably had no intention of inviting Jesus to his house. He just wanted a sneak peek. He had no intention of meeting God face to face.
Are you hiding from God?  Leisure?  Business?  No time. Just climbing a tree.
What's your sycamore tree?  Jesus is looking up your tree asking to have supper with you.
What do I do now? What's my purpose in life? Come down to see Jesus. Say to him: I will!
The son of man came to seek and save the lost!
Zaccheus came down joyfully. Jesus speaks joy into you. No grumpiness allowed.
The world needs to see the transformation. Confession comes easier. To be healthy in relationships we need to confess our faults one to another.
Live a life that reflects the God you worship! The God who got nailed to the cross for us.
God came to seek and save the lost.
3. Zaccheus gave money to the poor. Take care of those who can't help themselves.

Song Alive
I was lost with a broken heart, you picked me up now i'm set apart
from the ash i am born again
forever saved in the saviors hands
you are more than my words could say
I'll follow you, Lord, for all my days
fix my eyes follow in your ways
forever free in unending grace
 'cause you are, you are, you are my freedom
we lift you higher, lift you higher
your love, your love, your love never ending ~oh wo ah ah oh~you are alive in us, nothing can take your place, you are all we need, your love has set us free ~oh woah ah oh~ ~oh woah ah oh~
in the midst of the darkest nightlet your love be the shining light
breaking chains that were holding me
you sent your son down to set me free
everything of this world will fade
i'm pressing on till i see your face
i will live that your will be done
i won't stop till your kingdom come

Hosanna in the highest let our King be lifted up

I chose this day to surrender to Jesus. I can do this every morning. Jesus lives in me.

Nobody's Perfect!
Perfection: Hard to live up to! Lots of people grow up with a message that you are not good enough.
Matthew 5:48 be perfect 1 Peter 1:16 Leviticus 11:44
Some people feel condemned to always do it over and over
Always demanding the impossible

Perfection: Understanding your Destiny
Romans 8:29 chosen to become like Jesus. forgiveness from the older brother
Always begin with the end in mind
God chose us. Teleious Greek.. mature.. you're done. Jesus sees us as the finished perfect person
God's not finished with you yet!
Personal purity: pursue the perfection that is yours. Work at it. Working for Jesus is work
Become now what your are destined to be. Work out your salvation. Live as God's children. Be holy.
Osborne Colson figure skater coach lifted the fallen and made them Olympic stars
Resist the temptation to fatalism. Never say I'm a failure. The Lord is kneeling besides you telling you you can win.
Brace yourself for a battle...
Hockey is a contact sport and there will be crashes. You are in a battle. The enemy of our souls hits us all the time. He doesn't play fair. He's trying to destroy you. Hebrews 10:14 Jesus made perfect those who are being MADE holy. Substitutionary death of Jesus makes us holy.
Rest in your perfection by FAITH... God lifts us up. See yourself as Christ sees you. Talk to yourself every day. .make me more like you Jesus.
Strike the BALANCE: it's an ATTITUDE, a way of LIFE
Become more like Jesus. You can't relax and hope you'll wake up perfect.

Indiscriminate Peace making

Dave Ens www.EasTview.org
In 2006 the world was shocked at what happened in an Amish community when a gunman killed the school girls. Even more shocking was the forgiveness they offered.
That was just what the Amish do.
That was so right so unrealistic so strange.
Who are people going to find when they come here? Who are we?
Luke has lots to say. Heather read the story of the good Samaritan. What must I do? Love your neighbour. Who is that? The good Samaritan. Why did that man go there by himself? His life was fading. The priest and the religious leader walked by in the other side. That was what they were expected to do. They had to stay ceremonially clean.
The twist in the story is that a despised Samaritan that Jews hated, "came near and pitied him" and took care of him. The neighbour had a very unexpected response. He covered the expenses.
How to bring peace to our world. Peace is the kingdom of God. In living in peace we lead others to God. Go into dangerous places and bring peace. Live in peace. Blessed are the peace makers. That is what a child of God does.
Ephesians 2. In Christ we are brought peace and broken down the wall of hostility.
Peace making is costly. Cost Jesus everything. We can be peace loving and cross the road in the other side. Peace making is costly. Difficult. Get off your ass and show love. Jesus is calling us into a way of life that makes peace. Live peace. It's woven into the fabric of the kingdom.
Jesus's peace is indiscriminate. Friend or foe. Bring them peace and Shalom. How am I going to respond?

Take that indiscriminate peace and share it this week.
