HONOR DOWN | HONOR

“One day David asked, “Is anyone in Saul’s family still alive—anyone to whom I can show kindness for Jonathan’s sake?” He summoned a man named Ziba, who had been one of Saul’s servants. “Are you Ziba?” the king asked. “Yes sir, I am,” Ziba replied. The king then asked him, “Is anyone still alive from Saul’s family? If so, I want to show God’s kindness to them.” Ziba replied, “Yes, one of Jonathan’s sons is still alive. He is crippled in both feet.” “Where is he?” the king asked. “In Lo-debar,” Ziba told him, “at the home of Makir son of Ammiel.” So David sent for him and brought him from Makir’s home. His name was Mephibosheth; he was Jonathan’s son and Saul’s grandson. When he came to David, he bowed low to the ground in deep respect. David said, “Greetings, Mephibosheth.” Mephibosheth replied, “I am your servant.” “Don’t be afraid!” David said. “I intend to show kindness to you because of my promise to your father, Jonathan. I will give you all the property that once belonged to your grandfather Saul, and you will eat here with me at the king’s table!” Mephibosheth bowed respectfully and exclaimed, “Who is your servant, that you should show such kindness to a dead dog like me?” Then the king summoned Saul’s servant Ziba and said, “I have given your master’s grandson everything that belonged to Saul and his family. You and your sons and servants are to farm the land for him to produce food for your master’s household. But Mephibosheth, your master’s grandson, will eat here at my table.” (Ziba had fifteen sons and twenty servants.) Ziba replied, “Yes, my Lord the king; I am your servant, and I will do all that you have commanded.” And from that time on, Mephibosheth ate regularly at David’s table, like one of the king’s own sons. Mephibosheth had a young son named Mica. From then on, all the members of Ziba’s household were Mephibosheth’s servants. And Mephibosheth, who was crippled in both feet, lived in Jerusalem and ate regularly at the king’s table.” ‭‭2 Samuel‬ ‭9‬:‭1‬-‭13‬ ‭NLT‬‬

“Love each other with genuine affection, and take delight in honoring each other.” Romans 12:10 NLT

This Ain’t That | Pastor Dante' D. Barry

Luke 24:5–6 (NLT) “Why are you looking among the dead for someone who is alive? He isn’t here! He is risen from the dead!” Premise: What looks like the end in your life is often the very place where God is about to reveal resurrection power. “This Ain’t That” Means: is a declaration that what you’re looking at is not what you think it is Truths  1: This Ain’t What It Looks Like 2 Corinthians 5:7 (NLT) “For we live by believing and not by seeing.” 2: This is NOT The End Philippians 1:6 (NLT) “And I am certain that God, who began the good work within you, will continue his work until it is finally finished…” 3: This is not about Who You Were, but indeed about who you are BECOMING! Romans 6:4 (NLT) “For we died and were buried with Christ by baptism. And just as Christ was raised from the dead… now we also may live new lives.” Insight  Point 1: What Looked Like Defeat Was Actually The Setup Luke 23:46 (NLT) “Then Jesus shouted, ‘Father, I entrust my spirit into your hands!’ And with those words he breathed his last.” Point 2: The Grave Was Not The End… It Was The Transition Matthew 27:60 (NLT) “Then Joseph placed the body in his own new tomb, which had been carved out of the rock. Then he rolled a great stone across the entrance and left.” Point 3: Resurrection Is God’s Response To What Tried To Kill You Luke 24:6 (NLT) “He isn’t here! He is risen from the dead!”

WHERE IS YOUR DELAY? | Minister Lennys Garcia

Genesis 12:1 (NLT) “The Lord had said to Abram, ‘Leave your native country, your relatives, and your father’s family, and go to the land that I will show you.’” Genesis 13:14–15 (NLT) “After Lot had gone, the Lord said to Abram, ‘Look as far as you can see in every direction—north and south, east and west. I am giving all this land, as far as you can see, to you and your descendants as a permanent possession.’” Lot: a person,thing,or place. Anything we want to keep and its standing between you and Gods promise. Point 1: Some people are meant for a season, not the promise. Genesis 13:6 (NLT) “But the land could not support both Abram and Lot with all their flocks and herds living so close together.” Point 2: Your Lot can create unnecessary conflict. Genesis 13:7 (NLT) “So disputes broke out between the herdsmen of Abram and Lot. At that time Canaanites and Perizzites were also living in the land.” Point 3: God speaks clearly after separation. Genesis 13:14 (NLT) “After Lot had gone, the Lord said to Abram…” Genesis 13:14–15 (NLT) “After Lot had gone, the Lord said to Abram, ‘Look as far as you can see in every direction—north and south, east and west. I am giving all this land, as far as you can see, to you and your descendants as a permanent possession.’” 3 Action Steps (Application) 1. Ask God for discernment. Pray: “Lord, reveal who belongs in this season of my life.” 2. Stop carrying people God never assigned to you. 3. Trust God with the separation.

“The man with a deformed hand was there. Since it was the Sabbath, Jesus’ enemies watched him closely. If he healed the man’s hand, they planned to accuse him of working on the Sabbath. Jesus said to the man, ‘Come and stand in front of everyone.’ Then he turned to his critics and asked, ‘Does the law permit good deeds on the Sabbath, or is it a day for doing evil? Is this a day to save life or to destroy it?’ But they wouldn’t answer him. He looked around at them angrily and was deeply saddened by their hard hearts. Then he said to the man, ‘Hold out your hand.’ So the man held out his hand, and it was restored!” Mark 3:1–5 NLT
