The Walk

JOHN 3:16-17

Condemn the world - God sends his son to save them. There is life after death - Eternal Life. It has to be believed to get salvation ask Jesus to be your savior.

The church is for Christians, for people who are believers, to grow in your Faith.

To assemble in church a few times a week is to learn.

2 CORINTHIANS 6:17 - Separate from unbelievers separate from the world.

God wants us different from the world, Gray area is a dangerous stay in the light, get away from the darkness. You must call upon the Lord.

Titus 2:14 - Purifying you
Why - not making the same mistake as the Jesus. Romans 10:3 (Where they failed)

Would Jesus walk where you walk?
That's why you should go where he is welcome.

If you separate he will get closer to you and you will get closer to him. Psalms 1 (The walk of separation)

If you choose to walk with the ungodly, Jesus will not be walking aside you. 1 John 2:15

Separation - an act of loving God. Adam & Eve - The Tree!

God gives you something better in return. Come on to me? He is calling on you Do you want to be closer to God. What is God asking you to separate form for you to be closer to God?

Growing in the Lord

1 PETER 5:10

How is Peter an elder?  PETER 5:1-2
Suffering
- He saw Jesus suffer
- He look part in Jesus transforming
- He will partake in the glory that will be revealed.

The heavier the cross the brighter the crown.
Leading - Acts 20:28
-Leading the flock (us) with the word of God. (Feeding)
-Sunday, Bible class, Wed Bible studies these are the feeding time.
-God heritage, you belong to the Lord.

Leading by example 1 PETER 5:3
-What we should do?

1 PETER 5:4 - The chief shepherd
-When your job is over then Jesus takes over.
1 PETER 5:5 - Being on the same page.
-Being together with your Christian family. Being a humble person.
1 PETER 5:6 - By being humble GOD will give us a hand when needed.

Our flesh is hard to let things go. How many times did Jesus let things go?
Example: GENESIS 37-41 Joseph Story (Humbled, Humbled)

The challenges in staying humble; the Lord giveth the Lord taketh.

1 PETER 5:7 - Give it all to God, he will take it.
Psalms 55:22 - Pray and give it to the Lord, you will receive peace.
1 PETER 5:8 - The devil prays on the wounded. The devil is looking to wound us, to really pound us. So be alert and in the right path to the devil doesn't wound you.
1 PETER 5:9 - Resist - above all take the shield of faith. (James 6:4) If not you will be wounded and become an easy prey. You need faith to defend your self. Then faith produced hope. The ones without faith or Hope will only have negativity. (Jeremiah 18:11-12)
1 PETER 5:10-11 -  A reminder that our God is the Grace all we need. No matter what we are going through you need Faith & Hope to receive the Grace. To believe, to read, to establish your FAITH.

Beating the Enemy Day#4

Beating the Enemy

Read - Revelation 12:7-10 (In this passage we are going to pitchfork the dragon, here the dragon is the devil)

1. What did you learn about the devil?
2. How is the devil described? What are some of the names?
3. How does it compare to Genesis 3?
4. What are the devils tactics on verse 9 and 10?
5. With what we have read about our enemy, how does it apply to our life?

Jesus told his disciples about a parable a farmer who planted, or sowed, seed in his field. That might an enemy came and sowed weeds on the same soil. As a result, wheat and tares (weeds) grew up together. The farmer left the weeds alone until the harvest, knowing that in pulling out the tares he risked destroying the wheat. The disciples asked for an explanation and this is what Jesus said.
