Do nothing out of rivalry or conceit, but in humility consider others as more important than yourselves.
Philippians 2:3, HCSB
God reveals Himself through His people, so when we humbly serve others out of love, they see the same love Christ showed us.
I had the privilege of speaking at a youth retreat for New Life Community Church Peoria (AZ).
Below are the videos of the four teaching sessions, including Session 3 led by my friend and their youth pastor Noah, and a sample booklet to go alongside the lessons. (We did not use a booklet on this trip, but it did help guide the discussions overall.)
The theme was “Psalm 1: The Mountaintop Experience,” looking at how to live a blessed life of growing in the presence of God rather than focusing on experiences.
May you enjoy and be blessed.
Session 1: Who do you listen to?
Session 2: The Mountaintop Experience: Obedience to whom?
Session 3: Where do I stand?
Session 4: Coming down from the mountain
Do what you have learned and received and heard and seen in me, and the God of peace will be with you.
Philippians 4:9, HCSB
We keep God’s Word, and this is best expressed in helping each other know Jesus better and live out His commands, love, and grace.
Remember this: The person who sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and the person who sows generously will also reap generously.
2 Corinthians 9:6, HCSB
We love God by living a life of obedience and sacrifice just as our Lord did, loving each other and giving of our time, money, and possessions to spread His glory and affect this world.
I preached again!
There were a lot of tech issues, as can be seen in the video, yet this was fun for me to preach and (I hear) to listen to. It was also emotional.
As usual, my PowerPoint is provided below.
Carry one another’s burdens; in this way you will fulfill the law of Christ.
Galatians 6:2, HCSB
Knowledge of people and God only carries us so far. Wisdom tells us to live out the love of God by helping each other through all of life’s struggles just as Christ took our sin upon Himself on the cross.
I preached again!
I was actually a little excited for this message, and I had a horrible night in terms of sleep. That usually tells me the service will be good, and I and the congregation seem to agree with this, yet again.
As usual, my PowerPoint is available below the video. May you be blessed in hearing on growing in joy as Christ’s disciple and fellow worker.
But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faith, gentleness, self-control. Against such things there is no law.
Galatians 5:22-23, HCSB
God is our Helper, and He makes us more like Himself as we continue to seek Him and walk in His ways.
Therefore don’t worry about tomorrow, because tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.
Matthew 6:34, HCSB
God is our Helper, getting us through each day, so trust Him to take care of all needs and even some wants. Let us also help Him in His work yo bring others to faith in Christ.
Those who are wise will shine like the bright expanse of the heavens, and those who lead many to righteousness, like the stars forever and ever.
Daniel 12:3, HCSB
God is our Helper, and He calls us to help others find His righteousness in Christ for eternal life and fellowship in glory.
