What Was I Born to Do?

Annie shared passionately that we each need to understand our unique Kingdom purpose. She reminded us of Greg's message last week and the fact that Mary's willing spirit was the primary qualification God needed from her to do an amazing thing in the world. This same thing, our willingness, will determine how God is able to use us too. God designed us with a very specific idea in mind and, and finding out what God designed us to do is a personal process of discovery. Annie ended her sermon by reading The Tale of Three Trees retold by Angela Elwell Hunt and challenged us to be willing like Mary was, even if we feel like 'nobody from nowhereville'.

Just a Nobody from Nowhereville

God sends the angel Gabriel to Mary to tell her that the Lord has shown favor on her. She would conceive Jesus who would be the heir to David and his reign would have no end! Greg spent significant time emphasizing that the way God works is not how we might expect. The fact that God overlooks all of the 'usual suspects' when it comes to starting a revolution, and chooses a young peasant girl as the entry point for the King, this demonstrates the character of the Kingdom. It is often just the opposite of what we might expect.

The Good News Revolution

Continuing our study of Luke, we managed to get as far as Luke 1:18-25! Zechariah is in the temple and is visited by the angel Gabriel. Zechariah questions Gabriel about the promises of a son. He has asked for a sign of this. Gabriel grants Zechariah the sign: silence until the birth of John the Baptist! God had sent Gabriel to deliver 'good news' to Zechariah. This idea of 'good news' was the centerpiece of Greg's message today.

Kingdom Parenting, Part 2

Greg reviewed the main points from last week which were: individually, we all need to 'get a life.' By this he means we need to get out life from Christ so that we are operating out of a fullness, rather than a deficit. Then as couples, we need to get a life together! One of the best things parents can do for their children is to model what it is for parents to love one another and have a rich, vibrant life together. This week Greg focused on a third principle. Breaking the domino effect of generational curses through the power of forgiveness.

This week's sermon is entitled "Kingdom Parenting." Greg kept our eyes on Luke 1:13-17 and pointed out that there is a prophecy being fulfilled here that might escape our attention if we read through this passage too quickly. It is found in verse 16 that John will "turn the hearts of the parents to their children" which echoes what was stated in Mal. 4:5-6. The focus of today's message is what does it mean to be "kingdom parents"?

Preparing a Highway for the Lord

John the Baptist's role was to prepare the way for Jesus. The Church has a role that is similar to John's: just as he prepared the way for Christ 2000 years ago, we too are to prepare the world for the second coming. We are to live today as though Jesus were coming back at any time. We don't live the way the world lives. We are a part of a revolution. We invest in the Kingdom. We revolt against the status quo. We work to bring about the Kingdom on Earth as it is in heaven. And as we do this, we hasten the Lord's return.

Lessons from the Womb

Greg started out by reading through Luke 1:13-17; Luke 1:42,44; and John 18:36. Luke's gospel starts with the birth of a revolutionary movement-the beginning of the Kingdom of God. It's like a mustard seed that though small at first will prove victorious in the end. We, as Christians are to be known by how different we are from the world. That is, how truly we love one another and the world.

Stina Busman preached this morning on grief. She offered this question for reflection: What do we do when we have to live with and after disappointment and defeat? As we all know, some things in this world go profoundly wrong. For Stina, it was the loss of Scott, her fiance. Stina closed with a challenge: who will write the end of this chapter: Jesus or the enemy? We may grieve deeply, but we do so with great expectation!

Efrem spoke about familes and how they can be a great place to pass down a blessing or they can be a place that can pass down curses. Using Genesis 4:1-11 he tried to help us understand why the events that happened in the story of Cain and Abel could occur.

Greg spoke this week on 'The Invisible Society: The Truth about Angels.' The word 'angel' is a transliteration and means 'messenger' in Greek. We see in Scripture that God sometimes sends an angel as a messenger to God's children. Greg offered these four teaching points during the sermon:Angels are real, there are LOTS of angels, angels are under God's direction, not ours, and some are good, but some are evil.
