So today's word was about the gift given to us by God! It was prophesied during the time of David (Isaiah 7:13-17)

Told to humans at a time when they were at their worst. Given to humans at time when they were at their worst. Not treating others with the love and respect God expected from them, placed in their hearts. They had gotten so far away from God. He gave his son and still humans were not at their best and when they crucified Jesus, still at their worst. BUT GOD...still blessed those who believed, blessed those who blessed others.

Christmas is about the joy we allow God when we do for others as he did for us.
Giving is about joy. God is joyous when He is able to bless us for our giving. Yes we should give to/do for others year round but at this time as we celebrate Jesus the gift, we can give a gift as an illustration of what God did for us and even to experience the joy He does!

1 Now faith is confidence in what we hope for and assurance about what we do not see. 2 This is what the ancients were commended for. 3 By faith we understand that the universe was formed at God’s command, so that what is seen was not made out of what was visible. ~Hebrews 11

I believe the last time I sat down to recall and share my notes from a sermon from Rev. Anderson was just after the COVID pandemic when we were trying to figure out our new lives. Many, many things have occurred in that time. Even with all the people that were lost to that horrible virus the years that followed changed the world even more. There were adjustments and eventually full-on changes made to how we did things and operated in our daily lives. The one thing that, I think, had to get stronger through it all was our faith! Life still had to go on, life still went on; faith kept it moving! We’ve been reexamining faith by looking at the many examples in the bible; starting at Genesis 1 when God’s faith in what he was creating led to the breath of life breathed into Adam to Abel whose faith made him give his best to Noah who followed God’s commands and directions to the letter to carry out God’s plan to continue with man and not just wipe us out. Every person in the “Faith Hall of Fame” walked in God’s will.

This past Sunday there was a discussion about the uneasiness of a decision that needs to be made. Pastor stated, “When faith pushes us, we feel sick (uneasy, flip floppy, unsure -my words 😊) because we are used to having a plan (being in control). Faith is about having no control; no control over how the thing you are hoping for will play out or show up. Pastor suggested that we need to understand our faithfulness is going to affect some relationships, those relationships need to be stretched and grow (or even be let go). In other words, you have to be faithful to what God is putting on your heart, go not knowing but believing God. God created everything with his word and created a way for everything to be what it is supposed to be. God’s got you!

Christ Intentionally
Luke 19: 1-7
Jesus entered Jericho and was passing through. 2 A man was there by the name of Zacchaeus; he was a chief tax collector and was wealthy. 3 He wanted to see who Jesus was, but because he was short he could not see over the crowd. 4 So he ran ahead and climbed a sycamore-fig tree to see him, since Jesus was coming that way. 5 When Jesus reached the spot, he looked up and said to him, “Zacchaeus, come down immediately. I must stay at your house today.” 6 So he came down at once and welcomed him gladly. 7 All the people saw this and began to mutter, “He has gone to be the guest of a sinner.”
We are conquerors, you were not an accident! The circumstances you were born into don’t have to determine your present or future. If you are breathing there’s a purpose in your being. The Greek definition of conqueror is seeker; a desire or a wanting; a yearning. Zacchaeus, thou short and unable to see over the crowd he was determined to see Jesus and what He was about. He made radical and immediate decisions to make it happen. He ran ahead, climbed a tree!! What radical decisions should you make to be fulfilled and find heaven here on earth? Don’t let that job, that bill, or the lack of zeroes in your bank account get in your way. AND don’t worry what others will say about you (like the mutters in the crowd when Jesus recognized Zacchaeus’ efforts). Don’t delay any longer on decisions that will make you happy and fulfilled. The naysayers will eventually understand and possibly be blessed by you and your decision to take care of you. The best news of all is that those radical and intentional decisions will be recognized. “Jesus looked up and said to…”. He will be intentional with your blessings as you recognize where you need to reconcile and redirect your energy.

Exodus 14:15
Then the Lord said to Moses, “Why are you crying out to me? Tell the Israelites to move on.”
God was not forsaking Moses and the Israelites, he was forcing them to understand faith. Fear and scared are not the same. Fear paralyzes, it keeps you from making the next move. Scared is a partner in faith. Most of us are scared to move forward because we don’t know what’s going to happen. But that along with faith (stepping out) will push us through. Scared is an action word which means something is being done. Something is happening even if you are not sure what it is! Something was happening on the other end. God hardened Pharaoh’s heart to force the Israelites to move. “Sometimes God woks on the oppressors so the oppressed can become stronger (empowered).” Don’t let the situation dictate your strength, let what you know infuse what you feel.” God will take away something…options…so we can see the wonders that are in ourselves.
God has already given you what you need…even if you don’t see the outcome. Go forward in faith!

Dream
I turn my dreams into reality.

Some of the most audacious, bold, history-making events began as dreams, born in the imaginations of those who understood the promise and potential of humanity and worked to realize their vision.

Even if my dreams do not change the world, they have the power to change my life. Today I remember those whose dreams were fueled by their hard work, faith, and determination. I look to their example when my dreams feel far away and I’m running low on hope.

I rekindle my dreams through my imagination, which keeps them vivid. My strength helps me remain committed to their realization, and my zeal renews my enthusiasm to work toward creating the life—and the world—of my dreams.

Your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, your old men shall dream dreams, and your young men shall see visions.—Joel 2:28

What is your Goliath?

Pastor is continuing to explore the story of David and Goliath (I Samuel 17) by having us as a congregation find out what our Goliath’s are. Personally, also, we are taking the time to look at ourselves and our lives and look at what is holding us back from taking the steps necessary to move forward. As a church we proclaim ‘moving forward, not looking back and watching God”, but we acknowledge that we can get stuck in situations sometimes. Reevaluation is necessary to create a plan in order to move forward. Remember David (you) are the real giant in your story Goliath is just an obstacle that, if you move forward toward with faith and self-awareness, will be destroyed.

Giant vs. Goliath
I Sam 17
Our assignment from our last gathering was to read the entire chapter 17 to have a discussion this past Sunday. After reading David’s story I realized he was God’s warrior. He had the strength and power of God in/with him. Someone else proposed “on a small scale you can do gigantic things”. Pastor advised us that, faith is about changing you into somebody else but growing you into who you are. In other words David’s faith in God’s power allowed him to experience the change from a shepherd boy to the king he was to become. God had plans for him and David was being prepared for what was to come. Your job will prepare you for your assignment. David’s job was to take lunch to his brothers and make sure they were ok to report back to his father. God’s assignment for him was to slay Goliath which prepared the road for him to become king. Commit to completely change your thinking. Everything you know will help you succeed. David was committed to who he was and what he knew about himself. He also had to speak it out loud. He knew he was able to protect his sheep and let Saul know it. He used what he knew about the stones he should use to make the most impact.
