In addition to his great accent, this is 6 minutes of great thinking on engaging the community around us for the Gospel. I particularly love the quote towards the end around the 5:30 mark, that the community could see "...people in whom you could see that the Bible had come to life, by their disposition towards you as a non-Christian and their relationship with one another."

How can a local church bring the message of the gospel to the neigh...

Tonight in our adult class, we will be examining the biblical foundation and teaching about faith. This may be one of the most difficult topics many Christians struggle with - we often hear questions like, "Do I have enough faith?" and "I prayed in faith and nothing happened - what does that mean?" Join us at 6:00 as we build a foundational understanding of faith, and ask God to strengthen this gift He has given!

We'll dive back into the book of Acts this coming Sunday by looking at 17:16-33, and Paul's ministry in Athens. You're encouraged to read ahead and consider the following -

1) Paul's spirit is disturbed as he wanders around Athens and sees a city full of idols. Specifically idols in this context are a manufactured representation (wood, gold, other precious metals) of a god or goddess people worshipped. Idols of this type are found all throughout the Old Testament as well. We see very few idols like this today, but what idols do you see in the culture around you? An idol simply pulls us away from wholehearted worship to the Lord, for short or long periods of time. Paul gave the Colossian church a list of things to put away in Colossians 3:5-9, one of them being covetousness {greed} which is idolatry. In a culture of gross and excess materialism and consumerism, our culture is certainly guilty of such an idol.

2) As part of Paul's speech he stipulated God orchestrates when mankind rises and falls, and the times and boundaries of their life for the purpose of seeking after God (vs. 26,27) - have you thought about the bigger reason you were born when you were born, and where you were born? How has your life placement in both time and location given you opportunities to seek and know God? It's a sobering thought to be reminded we've been given life for the opportunity of knowing Him, not merely living life to ourselves.

Tonight in our adult teaching time we'll examine how to discern the will of God. We'll look at some common myths about the will of God, and the biblical principles for knowing and following the will of God. Hope to see you at 6:00 tonight!

We continue through Acts next Sunday by examining Acts 17:9-15. You're encourage to read ahead this week and consider the following -

1) The people in are described as eager participants in examining the scriptures to see if what Paul and Silas were saying was true. Whether it's a Sunday morning sermon, a Sunday School or small group teaching, or a podcast or online source you watch and listen to, how often are you studying scripture on your own, to ensure that what you're receiving is true? What would help you in this endeavor?

2) Luke again notes that many prominent Greek women and men again believe. Luke is intentionally emphasizing that conversion is happening by the power of the Gospel and the truth of the scripture being presented. What kind of changes are taking place in our own lives through the Gospel and the Word? Initial salvation is the beginning of the journey, not the end - in our diligence to study God's Word on our own we will be changed as the Holy Spirit moves!

Reading through Daniel 10 a while back something struck me I hadn't paid attention to before. Daniel receives this vision (some suggest the pre-incarnate Christ, others suggest an angelic messenger from God), and in 10:12,13 he says -

"Don't be afraid Daniel. Since the first day you began to pray for understanding and to humble yourself before your God, your request has been heard in heaven. I have come to answer your prayer. But for twenty-one days, the spirit prince of the kingdom of Macedonia blocked my way. Then Michael, one of the archangels, came to help me and I left him there with the spirit prince of the kingdom of Persia."

Now a lot of people focus on the "spirit prince" in this passage, debating over whether it's a regional/territorial demonic presence, and whether or not those still exist today, etc. but my focus was turned to something different. Daniel's prayers had been heard. God intended to answer. But the answer was delayed. When we don't receive an answer to prayer I think we often wonder, "Did God hear me?" This passage teaches us He does. Though the answer may not come immediately, we should not ever imagine our prayers fall on deaf ears.

The Bible teaches lots of thing can hinder answers to prayer - Proverbs 21:13 says those who oppress the poor will not have their prayers answered; James 4:3 tells us asking for things with improper motives prevents receiving what we ask for; 1st Peter 3:7 tells us husbands who treat their wives poorly should not expect answers. The Bible also teaches there are times God does not listen to our prayers - Psalm 66:18 deals with unconfessed sin; Isaiah 1:15 says God would not hear the prayers of Israel due to their actions; Jeremiah 7:16 God instructs Jeremiah not even pray for the people of Judah, for he will not listen due to their actions. So there are times indeed, when God does not listen to our prayers, much less answer them.

This is important - if prayers are not being answered, why? Either God has heard them and the response is delayed, or He has not heard them due to actions in our lives. It is important to allow the Holy Spirit to reveal the truth we need, for prayer is the way God has orchestrated our connection with Him, and His active response in our lives. It is a gift, a blessing, that we miss out on so much in our lives - and all great movements of God begin with righteous prayer.

We are planning to hold Tuesday night activities at 6:00 as scheduled. It appears the bulk of this storm activity will move through the area around 5:00-5:15. Use your own judgment of course re: travel.

Strong line of storms with some tornado warnings entering northern KY. This will likely miss us to the east but monitoring similar storms the west/northwest along that line. Will likely make a decision re: tonight's activities in about 30 minutes.
