2,600 years ago the Babylonians demanded taxes and Israel refused so Nebuchadnezzar conquered and enslaved Israel. 

Daniel was one of the slaves.

By the rivers of Babylon — there we sat down and wept when we remembered Zion.

Psalms 137:1 CSB

https://bible.com/bible/1713/psa.137.1.CSB

For I know the plans I have for you"  — this is the Lord 's declaration — "plans for your well-being, not for disaster, to give you a future and a hope.

Jeremiah 29:11 CSB

https://bible.com/bible/1713/jer.29.11.CSB

God wants the best for us. His plans trip us up. We want our own plans to comfort us in knowing what's happening or going to happen. Control of the future. 

We make plans for a good day and good results. We think we know what plans God should make for us. Can we hear what God is saying? Even if we are busy? 

Do we accept God's plan? He knows the plans he has for us.

Sermon Matthew 5

Delbert Enns pastor www.EasTview.org

For truly I tell you, until heaven and earth pass away, not the smallest letter  or one stroke of a letter will pass away from the law until all things are accomplished.

Matthew 5:18 CSB

https://bible.com/bible/1713/mat.5.18.CSB

Jesus is our hero. To be blessed we need to follow Jesus. We need to pour ourselves into Jesus. 

Jesus does not shy away from hard sayings. 

1. The Bible is true

2. It's about Jesus 

3. How will it change your life? 

1. Not a dot will pass away. How to read this book? V18 refers to v17. Jesus came to fulfill the law. It's supernatural book. Not just a book. It's divine. From God. Inspired. Every part of every character. It's authoritative. It has to be followed. 

Who can do it? There is a broken world. Jesus has to fulfill it. He died an unjust death on the cross. Father forgive them for they don't know what they are doing. 

Jesus redeems fallen world. He has fulfilled scripture. 

2. The Bible is about Jesus not about you. Christocentric mindset is what you need to understand the Bible.

Jesus was the ultimate sacrifice. 

A cup is just a cup. If your pour something in it. Jesus fills the cup. He's the ultimate prophet. He rewrites it all. He is the hero of the story. We're now walking into his presence directly. 

When Jesus broke the bread they recognized him. He had explained how he is the fulfillment. 

3. Change your life. If you understand what Christ did, it changes your life. Jesus did it. He helps you understand the Bible. The focal point of the story. 

Your identity in Christ. Concerning this salvation, the prophets, who prophesied about the grace that would come to you, searched and carefully investigated.

1 Peter 1:10 CSB

https://bible.com/bible/1713/1pe.1.10.CSB

You are blessed if you allow Jesus in or you are an empty cup.

I'm no longer a slave to fear

Embrace Jesus. Blessed life. 

Chuck Swindle 

A man was lost in the desert and found a shack. Found a rusty pump. Nothing came. He found a bottle of water with a note to pour it into the pump. He could choose to drink the old water or risk all for fresh cold water. 

You must make choices. SALT. LIGHT. HURT. 

1. Beauty

Matt 5:13 salt was a preservative. Prosciutto.

People want to jump in to help to show they are needed. You are not the savior. Are you stopping the decay.

2. You are the light to be seen to give glory to God. 

We live in a fighting age. Grey Matter book. A church that is different will attract. 

3. Countercultural Family

Not just you and me

4. Mission

Not just selfies

Do we live an easy life? Not

2. Terror. 

Hurt. Salt Light will hurt. You'll be persecuted. You'll get a reward. A blessing. 

Blessed are you when...

2 Tim 3:12 you will suffer persecution for Jesus's sake.

Jesus is the most hated human in history. Both grandfathers died in Russian prison for being pastors. They died for Jesus. 

3. The Hero

There is a special spirit in us. Did your camp counselor tell you you would be persecuted? 

Phil 2:5-11 Jesus set aside divinity and lived a selfless life and died a terrible death. 

Every year 100,000 believers lose their lives for Jesus. 

The guy at the pump poured the water into the pump. You have to give it all away to get anything back. 

The Law Reveals God's Character

Father we thank you that you know all about us. You count the hair on our heads. We bring our needs to you. Minister to us. Help those who are struggling, need healing, forgiveness, encouragement. Speak deeply to our hearts. 

We pray for those impacted by hurricane Dorian. Halifax and Nova Scotia. 

We pray for those who have not heard the gospel. Help us all to impact others for the gospel. 

We pray for our country and leaders to serve our country. May your will be done in these elections. Grant that those who have ethics be elected. 

Matthew 5

When Jesus was preaching about sin it makes us feel hopeless. 

"Do not think that I have come to abolish the law or the prophets. I have not come to abolish these things but to fulfill them.  For I tell you, unless your righteousness goes beyond that of the experts in the law and the Pharisees, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven.

Matthew 5:17‭, ‬20 NET

https://bible.com/bible/107/mat.5.17-20.NET

What Jesus said was radically different. He had good news. Will he take away some of the commandments? 

No. Any one who breaks the smallest bit of the law has broken it all. 

Jesus came to fulfill the law. 

What did Jesus mean? 

Sin is missing the mark. Archery. Missed by an inch or a mile. Sin.

Not how good. How good we are not.

Missed the flight by a minute. Fall short. 

We miss the target and the glory of God. The moral character of God. 

In Jesus we see the glory of God. We were created in the moral image of God. We're supposed to reflect the glory. 

People should see Jesus in me. The reason God says don't steal is because God doesn't steal. We are to reflect the character of God. The law tells us what God's character is. 

We miss the mark. 

Jesus ramped it up. Just look at a woman lustfully and commit adultery.

Be holy perfect as God. 

They were amazed. What do you mean you should be perfect? You were created perfect. 

Only when we know the depth of despair can we really come to God. Christ in you the hope of glory. We've all come short of it. 

Christ living in you is your hope of glory. 

God's Spirit helps us convert the law into a promise. We say thank you Lord. 

Exciting. Putting the life of God back into the human experience. God sent his son to fulfill the law so that the law can be fulfilled in us. We don't tell lies. The law is written in your hearts because your sufficiency is in Christ. When you live by the Spirit you will not commit adultery. 

Fulfillment of the law is to allow the Spirit in you.

Matthew 5:17‭-‬18‭, ‬20 NET

https://bible.com/bible/107/mat.5.17-20.NET

These were the most discouraging words from Jesus. The Old Testament was all about recording failure. 

What's good news? A grandfather god with 6 commandments. 

Jesus said he is not here to apologize for God's law. Jesus fulfills. 

1. What's the purpose of the law? Why does Jesus raise the bar? We have all broken the law of God. Why did God make rules people can't keep? Was he having a bad day? 

1 John 3.4 to miss the target is to sin whether it's a cm or km

If you miss your plane by one minute you still missed it. God is not so concerned about by how much we miss the mark. 

The law is a target. Romans 3.23 everyone falls short of the glory of God. 

What is the glory of God? The character of God. 

John said we've seen the glory in Jesus. We saw what God was like. 

Loved the kids. Sat next to an embarrassing woman. 

Gentle, patient, understanding, loving, is to see God. 

Understand what God is like. We were created in God's image. God is not a thief, adulterer, 

The law was not arbitrary but to clarify what God's character is. 

2. The effect of the law

To show us our failures. Moses was shocked at the golden calf. God was not. Romans 3.20 For no one is declared righteous before him by the works of the law, for through the law comes the knowledge of sin.

Romans 3:20 NET

https://bible.com/bible/107/rom.3.20.NET

Look at a woman and you commit adultery. 

Be perfect

They were amazed at his teaching. 

3. How does Jesus fulfill the law? Christ in you the hope of glory. My Spirit in you. 

Hit the target in Jesus. Live the life of the Spirit. 

Can we be perfect? No. 

And we all, with unveiled faces reflecting the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the same image from one degree of glory to another, which is from the Lord, who is the Spirit.

2 Corinthians 3:18 NET

Song In the morning when I rise to meet Him

Elijah

Dave Ens pastor One88.org http://www.one88.org/

Now Elijah the Tishbite, of Tishbe in Gilead, said to Ahab, "As the Lord , the God of Israel, lives, before whom I stand, there shall be neither dew nor rain these years, except by my word." And the word of the Lord came to him: "Depart from here and turn eastward and hide yourself by the brook Cherith, which is east of the Jordan. You shall drink from the brook, and I have commanded the ravens to feed you there."

1 Kings 17:1‭-‬4 ESV

https://bible.com/bible/59/1ki.17.1-4.ESV

Who's in charge? The rain god or the God of the universe? 

What we trust influences guides our life. When following Jesus we find peace. 

Trusting God can be hard. 

Queen Jezebel was not happy so King Ahab was not happy. Elijah had to hide. He had to speak and then trust God. Not worry about what else God has for us. Do what God has called you to do. 

The ravens fed Elijah and then God called him to go to a window in the middle of Baal country. The widow's food did not run out while the famine was in the land. God can be trusted. He is the provider. His jar never runs out. He has abundance. He does not disappoint. He was willing to die for you. 

And she said, "As the Lord your God lives, I have nothing baked, only a handful of flour in a jar and a little oil in a jug. And now I am gathering a couple of sticks that I may go in and prepare it for myself and my son, that we may eat it and die." And Elijah said to her, "Do not fear; go and do as you have said. But first make me a little cake of it and bring it to me, and afterward make something for yourself and your son.

1 Kings 17:12‭-‬13 ESV

I went to my psychiatrist to be psychoanalyzed to find out why I kicked the cat and blacked my husband's eyes

And here is what he dredged up from my subconscious mind

When I was one my mummy hid my dolly in a trunk and so it follows naturally that I am always drunk

When I was 2 I saw my daddy kiss the maid one day and that is why I now suffer from kleptomania

At 3 I had feelings of ambivalence to my brothers and so it follows naturally I poison all my lovers

But I am happy now because I've learned that everything I do that's wrong is someone else's fault

Rwanda genocide no one wanted to help. Why? Why should anyone care? Rwanda has no international value. 

Justice and reconciliation. God loves justice. Criminals don't know what justice means, but all who respect the Lord understand it completely.

Proverbs 28:5 CEV

https://bible.com/bible/392/pro.28.5.CEV  

Ahab was married to Jezebel. Naboth's family had generations of vineyard next to the palace. It was a blessing and gift from God. Ahab wanted it for a vegetable garden. When Naboth refused the king pouted. Jezebel said aren't you the king? I'll get it for you. 

We may think we are doing the right thing, but the Lord always knows what is in our hearts.  Doing what is right and fair pleases the Lord more than an offering.

Proverbs 21:2‭-‬3 CEV

https://bible.com/bible/392/pro.21.2-3.CEV

We always think what we do is right. But is it?

How can I find justice for those around us? 

My prayer is that we would respond with vigor to bring justice. Hunger and thirst for righteousness. 

I'm forgiven because you were forsaken. Amazing love. How can it be that my king would die for me?

There is no such thing as incompatible

There is no such thing as incompatible. It's a term made up by the divorce attorneys. We're all different. No one is going to be completely compatible with you. Because no one is exactly like you. You can get along with anyone you choose to get along with. You can choose to love anybody you choose to love.

Here are the two words you need for your marriage to be a success: "Grow up!" It's immaturity that causes a marriage to die.

Inflexibility is the problem. The first cause of conflict is self-centeredness.

The greater your differences in marriage the greater your potential for growth. The primary purpose of marriage is not to make you happy but to make you holy. It's not a matter of compatibility but am I willing to grow up and learn.

It's always more rewarding to resolve a conflict than to dissolve a relationship.

Our nature is to be self-centered. You're always thinking about you. Not about me. It's my nature to be stubborn. If I want a good relationship I need to think less about me and more about you. 

The second cause of conflict is pride. With pride I get my feelings hurt easily. Humble people don't get their feelings hurt. Pride only leads to arguments. Proverbs 13:10 Too much pride causes trouble. Be sensible and take advice.

Proverbs 13:10 CEV

https://bible.com/bible/392/pro.13.10.CEV

That's the first verse to memorize on your honeymoon.

Here's a secret sentence that will break a log jam in any conflict "I'm sorry I was only thinking of myself."

Memorize that and get over your conflict.

The trumpet players and singers made music together as if they were only one voice. They praised the Lord. They gave thanks to him. Some of them played their trumpets, cymbals and other instruments. The others raised their voices to praise the Lord. They sang, "He is good. His faithful love continues forever." Then a cloud filled the temple of the Lord.  The priests couldn't do their work because of it. The glory of the Lord filled God's temple.

You created the deepest parts of my being. You put me together inside my mother's body.  How you made me is amazing and wonderful. I praise you for that. What you have done is wonderful. I know that very well.  None of my bones was hidden from you when you made me inside my mother's body. That place was as dark as the deepest parts of the earth. When you were putting me together there,  your eyes saw my body even before it was formed. You planned how many days I would live. You wrote down the number of them in your book before I had lived through even one of them.  God, your thoughts about me are priceless. No one can possibly add them all up.  If I could count them, they would be more than the grains of sand. If I were to fall asleep counting and then wake up, you would still be there with me.

Psalm 139:13‭-‬18 NIRV

https://bible.com/bible/110/psa.139.13-18.NIRV

God's been working on this message for a long time. God wants me to say it. 

Read

"Listen! A farmer went out to plant his seed. He scattered the seed on the ground. Some fell on a path. Birds came and ate it up. Some seed fell on rocky places, where there wasn't much soil. The plants came up quickly, because the soil wasn't deep. Still other seed fell on good soil. It grew up and produced a crop 30, 60, or even 100 times more than the farmer planted."

Mark 4:3‭-‬5‭, ‬8 NIRV

Then Jesus said to them, "Don't you understand this story? Then how will you understand any stories of this kind? The seed the farmer plants is God's message.

Mark 4:13‭-‬14 NIRV

https://bible.com/bible/110/mrk.4.13-14.NIRV

Don't you understand? 

We think we are executing the seeding. 

Let's look at it the other way. We are the soil. We get locked in on the results and forget the people. Team building is tough. An employee left because I wasn't listening to him. I was the path. Lots of superficial social media posts becomes rocky soil. 

We were too busy for neighbors. They stopped going to church. The thorns destroyed the relationship. 25 life groups. We help them find a group. We sacrifice our time. 

Good soil. Conflict becomes about growing and learning. Pray. Learned about managing conflicts with each other by going to prayer. God is there. If you are fertile soil God gets the glory. His way changes us to produce fruit. No relationship is ever too complicated.

Is faith more important than truth?

Joshua chose two men as spies and sent them from their camp at Acacia with these instructions: "Go across the river and find out as much as you can about the whole region, especially about the town of Jericho." The two spies left the Israelite camp at Acacia and went to Jericho, where they decided to spend the night at the house of a prostitute named Rahab.  So the king sent soldiers to Rahab's house to arrest the spies. Meanwhile, Rahab had taken the men up to the flat roof of her house and had hidden them under some piles of flax plants that she had put there to dry. The soldiers came to her door and demanded, "Let us have the men who are staying at your house. They are spies." She answered, "Some men did come to my house, but I didn't know where they had come from. They left about sunset, just before it was time to close the town gate. I don't know where they were going, but if you hurry, maybe you can catch them." The guards at the town gate let the soldiers leave Jericho, but they closed the gate again as soon as the soldiers went through. Then the soldiers headed toward the Jordan River to look for the spies at the place where people cross the river.  "Rahab," the spies answered, "if you keep quiet about what we're doing, we promise to be kind to you when the Lord gives us this land. We pray that the Lord will kill us if we don't keep our promise!"

Joshua 2:1‭, ‬3‭-‬7‭, ‬14 CEV

https://bible.com/bible/392/jos.2.1-14.CEV

A crumpled or new dollar bill are worth the same. 

Rahab The Prostitute is called The Prostitute in the New Testament. The title sticks.

Joshua sent spies. They went everywhere. 38 years earlier Joshua was a spy. Milk and honey. There are giants in the land. 10 men said we can't do it. Only Joshua and Caleb had faith. Only the 2 entered the Promised Land. 

1. Where they went. 

Check out Jericho. Rahab always had strange men coming and going. The spies went to her house to camouflage them. Someone noticed them. 10,000,000 Israelites were only 10 miles away. Rahab told a huge lie to protect them. She ran a brothel on the city wall. Lying was part of her life. 

Lying cannot ever be justified. 

2. What the spies heard. 

I know God has given this land to you. The inhabitants are petrified of the Israelites. They had heard about the Red Sea. They knew that their days were numbered. Og the giant with the 6'x13' bed was defeated. 

The Lord your God has already given the land to you, she says. The enemy the devil knows he has been defeated. The Lord is God of heaven and earth. The Israelites did not seem to know that. Do we trust God on Monday? 

3. What the spies did

Preserve the house with the scarlet cord. Symbolize the blood of Christ. 

The 2 dollar bills are guaranteed by the government. 

Her faith made her righteous. 

Which is more important? Character or faith? FAITH.

Justification is by faith. Rahab trusted God. 

They rescued her and put her in a separate place. Eventually she became part of the genealogy of Jesus?.

The Wheat and the Weeds

Johnny Dodsworth Associate Pastor www.EasTview.org 

Jesus told the crowd another story. "Here is what the kingdom of heaven is like," he said. "A man planted good seed in his field. Let both grow together until the harvest. At that time I will tell the workers what to do. Here is what I will say to them. First collect the weeds. Tie them in bundles to be burned. Then gather the wheat. Bring it into my storeroom.' "

What does Jesus want to teach? 

Then Jesus left the crowd and went into the house. His disciples came to him. They said, "Explain to us the story of the weeds in the field."  They will throw them into the blazing furnace. There people will sob and grind their teeth. Then God's people will shine like the sun in their Father's kingdom. Those who have ears should listen.

Matthew 13:36‭, ‬42‭-‬43 NIRV

https://bible.com/bible/110/mat.13.36-43.NIRV

A parable only explains a little bit so we need to be careful not to create theology. 

The Sower Jesus

The Field the world

Good seed Jesus's people

The enemy the devil

Jesus flipped expectations upside down

Jesus was speaking to the Jews with a violent background. 

The church is advancing. Peace and gentleness. 

People from many nations will go there. They will say, "Come. Let us go up to the Lord's mountain. Let's go to the house of Jacob's God. He will teach us how we should live. Then we will live the way he wants us to." The law of the Lord will be taught at Zion. His message will go out from Jerusalem.  He will judge between the nations. He'll settle problems among many of them. They will hammer their swords into plows. They'll hammer their spears into pruning tools. Nations will not go to war against one another. They won't even train to fight anymore.

Isaiah 2:3‭-‬4 NIRV

https://bible.com/bible/110/isa.2.3-4.NIRV

The Jews thought they should bring God to the world. Jesus will eliminate evil from the world. Pray that the kingdom will come on earth as in heaven. 

Are the weeds condemned to be that way? 

Gentile and Jews can't be identified. Only God can separate. Weeds and wheat. Darnel weed looked very much like wheat. Bring the message of the gospel. Jesus is the judge. 

Gently sow the seed. Imitate Jesus. Ceasar had no control over sowers of peace. 

We don't have to be weeds but proclaim. 

Not ours to judge. Only God can do that. Who is a wheat and who is a weed? 

Jesus hung out with sinners and they became wheat. 

Jesus invites us to partner with him with the good news. There will be persecution. 

The righteous will shine like the sun. Evil eliminated. What a promise! Read the parable again. Meditate on it.

Selah is an important word that appears 3 times in Psalm 66. It appears 3 times in OT. Habakkuk 3 

It's a direction for the singer or reader to rest stop listen. One of the reasons for worship is rest stop listen.

You went out for the salvation of your people, for the salvation of your anointed. You crushed the head of the house of the wicked, laying him bare from thigh to neck. Selah

Habakkuk 3:13 ESV

BROTHERLY KINDNESS 

Opening David Michael Jeremiah

What does it mean to live life in godliness? God's promises EVERYTHING for life and godliness. For that reason add... BROTHERLY KINDNESS

The real definition of Jesus followers. The mailman Floyd Martens retired with a big party. He was their pastor and confidant. Mr. Rogers Neighborhood was the opposite of the world's media. Peter wanted us to LIVE IN Philadelphia the city of brotherly kindness. 

I. Forge Your Friendships with Trust   Ephesians 4:25 

The commentary to describe the Philadelphia Christian life. With tender humility and quiet patience, always demonstrate gentleness and generous love toward one another, especially toward those who may try your patience.  Ephesians 4:2 TPT  https://bible.com/bible/1849/eph.4.2.TPT

Paul's 7 delivery points of what it means to be a Christian 

Forge friendships. We're members of one another. Trusting spirit. Being honest doesn't mean to bury the next person. Trust each other. Honest kind. Be angry but sin not. Be angry about sin but not at people. Anger is the most fun sin. You eat yourself. The more you grow up the less you blow up. Settle your issues before you go to bed. We live in an angry world. Don't sin. Anger gives the devil a foothold. 

II. Fill Your Relationships with Grace   Ephesians 4:26-27 don't be angry. 

Ill. Feed Someone Who ls Hungry   Ephesians 4:28

Impart grace. No gutter mouths. Compliment at least one person every day. Fiddler on the Roof. Got 4 tickets. Yiddish. Went anyway. It was fun. Great story. Let the office know that they are good. That comes back to you. Abraham Lincoln carried an article by someone who appreciated him. Quit being snakes. 

V. Flush Bitterness out of Your Spirit   Ephesians 4:30-31 

Do not grieve the Holy Spirit. He lives within us. Don't make speeches about how you'll get even. Foster was expelled from the University when she was young. She now got an honorary degree. 

Vl. Find New Ways to Practice Kindness   Ephesians 4:32 

I don't have to agree with you. Practice kindness.

GODLINESS

Introduction   1 Timothy 3:16: John 1:18; 1 Peter 2:9-12

July 4 weekend is the least attended Sunday. Had a big car show. Honor the military. They cry. Gave away 4,000 medals. 2 marines repelled down the ceiling. Had indoor fireworks. Proud to be American. Everyone wants to come here. 

Everything you need is in the Bible. 

and to understanding add the strength of self-control, and to self-control add patient endurance, and to patient endurance add godliness,  2 Peter 1:6 TPT  https://bible.com/bible/1849/2pe.1.6.TPT

Someone broke into Roman's house and cleaned it top to bottom. We need cleaning from the inside out. We have that yearning. The mystery of godliness is only available through Jesus. God has no grandchildren.

The only way to heaven is by God's grace. Not your works. When you accept His gift you take it from there and live out God's blessings. Jesus is the earthly portrait of God. Jesus showed us what God would do. Read Jesus to know God. Study Him. You are the only Jesus many people will ever do. I'm different because of Jesus. In preparation for the role of Judy Garland, Renee Zellweger she studied Judy to be like her. 

I want to be like Jesus. Read his word. WHAT WOULD JESUS DO? Study what Christ is like. 

I. Examining Your Identity   A. You Are God's Possession   1 Peter 2:9-10; Deuteronomy 7:6 

You are chosen. His SPECIAL people. But you are God's chosen treasure—priests who are kings, a spiritual "nation" set apart as God's devoted ones. He called you out of darkness to experience his marvelous light, and now he claims you as his very own. He did this so that you would broadcast his glorious wonders throughout the world .  1 Peter 2:9 TPT  https://bible.com/bible/1849/1pe.2.9.TPT

If you are a Christian you are unique and special. Peter wrote to the everyday believer. I never felt special. You can have a special relationship with Jesus. God wants you. Jesus loves you. 

B. You Are God's Pilgrim   1 Peter 2:11; 1 Chronicles 29:15; Philippians 3:21 

Sojourner and pilgrim. Not John Wayne. We're not citizens of earth going to heaven, but citizens of heaven going through earth. My watch needs to be kept on heaven time. John Bunyan's book is still a best seller. The Celestial City is what he was obsessed with. As Christians we want to build our spiritual muscles. 

C. You Are God's Platform   1 Peter 2:12 

We're to be witnesses a testimony to everyone. The Nuba people are bombed.  Dr. Katina is Jesus Christ to them. Honorable conduct. Our hands become the hands of Jesus. 

II. Exercising Your Identity 

A. Godliness ls About ownership-Act Like You Belong   1 Corinthians 6:20; Romans 1:6-7; 8:1;14:8 

You belong to God. Don't embarrass Him. You are not your own. Honor God. We belong to him. Our world has lost its sense of belonging. We have become faceless button pushers. There is no condemnation for those who belong to Jesus. Let his wish be your will. Trust him. 

B. Godliness Is About Citizenship-Keep Your Eyes on Heaven   2 Peter 3:10-14 

Keep your watch on heaven's time. You become like the place you want to go and who you want to follow. Don't you think you'd want know about the place you're going to spend eternity. 

C. Godliness Is About Stewardship-Carry out Your   Assignment   Peter 2:12 

Carry out your assignment. 500,000 people attend Satish's church in a Hindu environment in India. They bake cakes for everyone's birthday and do so much good doing their ministry. They have their own cemetery. They give away 20,000 chicken dinners.

Conclusion   1 Timothy 4:8

While you are here as a pilgrim. Work on this. 

Thank you for attending this session! This message  is scheduled to air on Turning Point Television October 27, 2019 

Dr. David Jeremiah session 5 Self Control

San Diego Chargers Draymond Green is a new man because his 2 year old showed him what he looked like. 

Self Control the 4th tool in Peter's tool kit

God has given us everything we need if we take advantage of his gifts. 

Where do you most need Self Control? God taught Peter Self Control. We're now studying what he wrote. 

Self Control is one of the main issues in the New Testament. 

1.0 Self Control deserves priority. It's make or break.

2.0 Self Control displays maturity. Paul visited the island of Crete that was infamous for evil and liars and gluttons. Instead he should be one who is known for his hospitality and a lover of goodness. He should be recognized as one who is fair-minded, pure-hearted, and self-controlled. A certain one of them, one of their own prophets, said, "Those Cretans are nothing but liars, worthless beasts, and lazy gluttons."

Titus 1:8‭, ‬12 TPT

https://bible.com/bible/1849/tit.1.8-12.TPT

This goes on in our city. God wants to purify us as Spirit controlled disciples. No one had self Control

3.0 Self Control deepens discipline. Barbara needs discipline and Organization. Freedom is the length of a cord from the point of restraint. The kids can run in the fenced back yard but not the front yard. 

Limitations give freedom. 

4.0 Self Control demands strategy. There is no such thing as time management. Only self management. 

4.1 Ask for the Holy Spirit's help. As you yield freely and fully to the dynamic life and power of the Holy Spirit, you will abandon the cravings of your self-life. For your self-life craves the things that offend the Holy Spirit and hinder him from living free within you ! And the Holy Spirit's intense cravings hinder your old self-life from dominating you! So then, the two incompatible and conflicting forces within you are your self-life of the flesh and the new creation life of the Spirit.

Galatians 5:16‭-‬17 TPT

https://bible.com/bible/1849/gal.5.16-17.TPT

If you follow the Holy Spirit you can be free. Gallup was an alcoholic. Jesus saved him. Controlled him. The only way to be able to have self discipline.

4.2 Adjust your thoughts

So then, prepare your hearts and minds for action! Stay alert and fix your hope firmly on the marvelous grace that is coming to you. For when Jesus Christ is unveiled, a greater measure of grace will be released to you.

1 Peter 1:13 TPT

https://bible.com/bible/1849/1pe.1.13.TPT

Your body doesn't want tobacco or alcohol. The mind wants it. 

Set your mind on Christ. The things of heaven. Most battles begin with your mind

4.3 Aquire New Habits. Steven King got lots of rejections. Now one of the most successful writers always writing 10 pages a day. Self-discipline is his freedom to fulfill him. Exercise profits a little. Get into your spiritual gym and exercise toward godliness. Ask God to give you a small victory. Your habits will become better. Omit one item a week. Don't play with your self control. Read a verse every day. Reading the Bible in a year could be hard. Clean one drawer this week. Do something. Better to do something than nothing. If you fall in a hole today take a different route tomorrow. 

4.4 Avoid Tight Spots. Don't put yourself into the same spot. Take your problems off your agenda. If your television offends you throw it out

4.5 Accept the process. With the Holy Spirit's help. If you fail don't give up. Don't get haughty. Start again. For the lovers of God may suffer adversity and stumble seven times, but they will continue to rise over and over again. But the unrighteous are brought down by just one calamity and will never be able to rise again .

Proverbs 24:16 TPT

https://bible.com/bible/1849/pro.24.16.TPT

When the horses get away from you you're in trouble. Ask God to show you the enemy's strategy. The pathway to the problem has to be shut down.

David Jeremiah session 4

Download Airship Genesis game Pathways to Jesus

July 4th is a privilege to be in New York 

Each time you read Scriptures it jumps out at you. 

Knowledge

2 Peter May grace and perfect peace cascade over you as you live in the rich knowledge of God and of Jesus our Lord.

2 Peter 1:2 TPT

https://bible.com/bible/1849/2pe.1.2.TPT

People who follow 2 Peter will never stumble

But continue to grow and increase in God's grace and intimacy with our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. May he receive all the glory both now and until the day eternity begins. Amen!

2 Peter 3:18 TPT

https://bible.com/bible/1849/2pe.3.18.TPT

Marriages fail because of slow leaks. 

So devote yourselves to lavishly supplementing your faith with goodness, and to goodness add understanding,

2 Peter 1:5 TPT

https://bible.com/bible/1849/2pe.1.5.TPT

Education is always a plus. You find out what you didn't know. I still have things to learn. 

This is Peter's exit letter. Nero was emperor. He ended up crucified upside down. These were the final words to his congregations. Grow in grace. 14 times Peter said knowledge. There is no premium for ignorance. 

You need to know what you know. All your mind to love God. 

Steps

1.0 I will follow Jesus.  Like the disciples did. Day by day wherever He went. Jesus said I AM THE TRUTH. Get in line with him. 

What is a Christian? You have an opportunity to become a Christian. Decision. We become Christ followers. 

1.1 Move from the shoreline. Disciple was a follower. Long before they were called Christians. Say I'm a disciple of Jesus Christ. I'm a learner. Mathew 4 I'll make you fishers of men. Jesus was the ultimate story teller. Tell a story to open the truth. Follow Jesus and he'll change your life. Lord you have a plan for me. I want to follow. When you follow Jesus your life gets exciting. Get away from your comfort zone. 

1.2 Move from Head Knowledge to Heart Knowledge. A pastor's job is to teach. 

God gave us brains for a reason. Knowledge here means the most intimate relationship there is. It's not knowing about but to know personally. 

2.0 I will study you

2.1 Study His Word as a textbook. Start there. Not stop there. It's a treasure trove direct from God. Today more than ever, we have resources like never before. There is still a lot I have to learn. Underline the words "these things". There are new things you'll learn. That brings healing. The living Word is in the written Word. If you want to know Christ know his Word. Ruth Bell Graham: Have a special place to study the Bible. Take notes. Always keep your Bible open. Study every day. Start with 10 minutes. Started to journal when he had cancer 20 years ago. What a rich time it was! Millennials have fall fallen in love with the Word again. What does the Bible have to say. 

2.2 Study His Word as a survival guide. You are in a storm or going into one or coming out of one. 

18 year old Aldi was adrift for months. After 49 days it rained. He read the Bible. The Lord's Prayer became so real. 66 installments from God. 

Don't wait until you're in trouble. Storms are coming. Know where the promises are. Isaiah has more than any other book. 

3.0 I will obey

3.1 Be prepared to Change your Values.  Get in the Word. When you fall in love Jesus old things fall away and things become new. 

3.2 Be prepared to Change your Vision. Tony Evans said the Bible is the vision. 

It's not a doorstop. Go find it. Read something every day. Practice. 

The best way to get to heaven is through the front door shouting Hallelujah.

Recorded for television July 2, 2019

VIRTUE   Quality control will make or break any commercial enterprise. Quality   control is essential in business, in public utilities, in agriculture   in education, in sports - in every area of life. And it is vital to our personalities too. You and I are not exempt from the need for personal quality control. If we're going to be strong and effective people who can withstand the pressures of this world and bear a testimony and leave behind a legacy we must be people of quality.

  The Bible has a word for that - virtue.

  That's a word we seldom hear anymore, but it in the Bible. It's the Bible's quality control division, and the apostle Peter tells us we should be diligent about adding virtue to our faith (2 Pet. 1:5).

If you long to be a person of moral excellence in our anything-goes culture, let Dr. Jeremiah show you the ways God is equipping you to live a quality life!

Why Can't You be Just Like Me?

Lives in PEI

MIC MA ACADIAN married to Bev 48 years twin daughters and one son Matt. 

Professor Terry LeBlanc, a Mi'kmaq-Acadian, is the Executive Director of Indigenous Pathways and also the founding Chair and current Director of the North American Institute for Indigenous Theological Studies (NAIITS), an indigenous learning community. Terry holds an interdisciplinary Ph.D. from Asbury Theological Seminary

Why Can't You be Just Like Me?

is the most damaging question in the church causing all kinds of conflicts. 

Acts 15 the pharisees Christians said you can't be saved unless you become Jews. Religious legalisties are everywhere. Jesus had the inability to follow the law verbatim and Jesus paraphrased. 

Acts 15 they have a council meeting. 

The lawyers argued for their side and Paul and Barnes shared the evidence of God working outside the Jewish customs. 

There are only 4 requirements essentials to become a followers of Jesus. To get a driver's license there are requirements you have to meet. 

When did you last check on the spiritual status of your butcher? The rules were intended to allow believers to fellowship together.

It didn't take long for Christians to demand all citizens be Christians or get killed. 

Modern missions expected heathen to become civilized before they could become Christians. 

We can't comprehend God would allow people to be different from me. It's got to be about following Jesus. Many nations gentiles will come from Abraham and Jesus came to complete the circle. 

Unfaithfulness is a good part of the Bible. 

When we got saved we were required to burn all our cultural stuff. We get locked into our culture and think that everyone should be that way. 

A drum made of elk skin is considered sinful. So I etched Yamaha into it to make it holy. 

What does it take to be a genuine Jesus follower?

Luke 17 NIrV

As he was entering a village, ten men with leprosy met him. They stood at a distance, When he saw them he said, "Go and show yourselves to the priests." And as they went along, they were cleansed. Then Jesus said, "Were not ten cleansed? Where are the other nine?

Luke 17:12‭, ‬14‭-‬14‭, ‬17 NET

https://bible.com/bible/107/luk.17.12-17.NET

Leprosy was a terrible disease. Pain then loss of sensation and loss of digits. It still happens. They have to be removed from families and contact with others. They had to stay far away and announce that they were unclean. 

These 10 men yelled at Jesus. He told them to go see the priest,  the health inspector. That didn't heal them until they were on their way and they were healed with new digits. Their nightmare was finally over. Only one came back to yell his thankfulness. 

The other 9 were likely thankful too. They didn't come back to Jesus. Our gratitude should take us back to Jesus. He is the author of our stories. 

Thank you God that you are the Great Physician. 

I'm never alone.
