Invite the Lord into your day and plans

Momentary Pleasure

Genesis 25:19-34 (CEB) The importance of the birthright Genesis 25:34 Thoughts sometimes people say: "It's just one time." "No one will ever know." "He/she won't miss it." "It's not all that bad.” We can avoid making Esau’s mistake by comparing the short-term satisfaction with its long-range consequences before we act Before we give into whatever it is, is it worth it?

The Nagging Sense of Dissatisfaction

Isaiah 55:1-9 (CEB) The passage connects with this weekend beautifully How we get the free nourishment that feeds our soul: We are to come (verse 1), listen (verse 2), seek and call on God (verse 6) Isaiah 55:6 Satan’s menu includes riches, relationships, prominence, acceptance, or recognition God’s menu lists just one “item”—Jesus. Psalm 34:8

Jesus is worth being crazy over!

Mark 3:20-30 Mark 3:21 Isaiah 53:2b: "No beauty or majesty to attract us to Him, nothing in His appearance that we should desire Him." Mark 3:23b, 24 God is always in control! Mark 3:29 Jesus is worth being crazy over!

The Art of Godliness

Proverbs 3:1-12 A lesson in godliness Proverbs 3:3 Proverbs 3:5 Proverbs 3:6 Matthew 6:33 Proverbs 3:12 God will allow us to hit rock bottom so we will realize that God is the Rock at the bottom!

EPOCH Apsotles

Matthew 9:35-10:8 EPOCH: “Empathy,Presence, Opinion, [also known as ethical judgment] Creativity, and Hope, the ability to plan and execute a vision.” Jesus showed us how to have empathy Matthew 9:36 Compassion comes from the Latin word passio, meaning “suffering,” and com, meaning “with.” Jesus shows compassion towards the people around Him, which means that He “suffers with” them. Matthew 10:5-6 May we have a godly opinion or ethical judgment towards everyone. Matthew 10:8 Be creative in our ministry for Jesus Matthew 10:9,10 Keep our hope in Him!
