Life in Progress Week 3 Bullseye

Who's at the center of your life? 🎯

Paul's radical transformation shows us how to prioritize our relationships:

• God at the center ❤️
• Surround yourself with wise influences 🤝
• Care for those far from God, without compromise 🙏
• Be a light to the watching world 🌎

'Walk with the wise and become wiser, but a companion of fools suffers harm.' - Proverbs 13:20

Your circle of relationships shapes your faith journey. Who are you allowing to influence you? And who are you influencing for Christ?

Now You See: Life in Progress Week 2

Now You See: It's not about WHERE you're going, it's about WHO you're with.

Jesus isn't just a self-help guide or a philosophy - He's a PERSON who wants a relationship with YOU. 

Don't let your faith become just a checklist. Get to know God personally:

• Read His Word as a conversation, not a textbook
• Spend dedicated time with Him 
• Let knowing Him change how you think, feel, and act

Remember: Your works don't lead to knowing God. Knowing God leads to good works.

Where are you going? The better question is: Who are you walking with?

If You Brought it to the Cross, Leave it There...

After the cross, we're called to change. 🙏

Jesus offers us living water, healing, and new life - but He doesn't leave us as we are.

When we encounter Christ, we're challenged to:

• Let go of our old ways

• Confront our sins and struggles

• Walk in the light of His forgiveness

• Share our testimony with others

"Go and sin no more." - Jesus

Your past is paid for. It's time to live differently.

Ezekiel 24-25

Even in our darkest moments, God remains faithful. 

In Ezekiel 24-25, we see God's judgment on Israel and surrounding nations. It's a sobering reminder that sin has consequences. Yet even as He disciplines, God's ultimate goal is purification and restoration.

Ezekiel's personal loss mirrors Israel's coming devastation. But through it all, Ezekiel's devotion to God never wavers. His example challenges us:

Do we love God above all else? 
Are we willing to follow Him no matter the cost?

Remember, those who bless God's people will be blessed; those who curse them will be cursed. God keeps His promises, even when we fail.

Let's examine our hearts today. Where have we put other things before God? How can we renew our commitment to Him?

Jesus in the Old Testament: The Book of Judges

Did you know Jesus appears in the Old Testament? 🤯

This week's sermon on the book of Judges reveals mind-blowing parallels between Samson and Jesus:

• Both had miracle births announced by angels
• Both entered enemy territory humbly
• Both conquered their enemies with symbols of peace
• Both stretched out their arms in sacrifice
• Both accomplished more in death than in life

But here's the kicker - Samson's flaws highlight Jesus' perfection. While Samson's death brought temporary victory, Christ's death AND resurrection bring eternal salvation!

Join us next Sunday as we continue to uncover 'Jesus in the Old Testament.' You won't believe what we find next! 🙌📖

The Longer Ending; Mark 16:9-20

"Never read a Bible verse." - Dr. Sean McDowell

Wait, what? 🤔...

This doesn't mean don't read your Bible. It means never read a single verse out of context!

Today's sermon on Mark 16:9-20 reminds us of the importance of discernment in our faith journey. Even with controversial passages, we're called to:

• Test everything against the whole of Scripture • Seek understanding through prayer and study

• Be like the Bereans - verify what you hear

• Consider historical and cultural context Don't just take things at face value. Dive deep into God's Word and let it transform your life! 📖🔍

Ezekiel 21-23

Are you building your life on rock or sand? 🏗️

In Ezekiel 21-23, we see God's judgment on Israel for turning away from Him. But there's a powerful lesson for us today:

• Troubles come to both the righteous and the wicked
• Our choices have consequences - sometimes we reap what we sow
• God may allow us to experience exactly what we chase after

The difference? Our foundation. 

When storms come - and they will - those who trust in Christ can withstand them. Those who don't may be washed away.

Where is your foundation? Are you seeking God's blessings without the relationship? Or are you building your life on the solid rock of faith?

"Everyone then who hears these words of mine and does them will be like a wise man who built his house on the rock." - Matthew 7:24

Jesus in the Old Testament: The Book of Joshua

The Old Testament should not be overlooked - it's a treasure map leading straight to Jesus! 🗺️✝️

In the book of Joshua, we find incredible parallels to Christ:

• Joshua (Yeshua) = same name as Jesus

• Two spies sent before conquest = Two witnesses in Revelation • Rahab's scarlet cord = Blood of Christ

• Crossing the Jordan = Jesus' baptism site

• 7 priests, 7 trumpets at Jericho = 7 trumpets in Revelation

Don't miss out on the richness of the Old Testament. There's gold in them hills! Dig deep and let God's Word amaze you.

In The Silence; Mark 15:42-46

Even in the silence, God is working.

When Jesus was in the tomb, His disciples felt lost and afraid. Their hopes seemed shattered. But that moment of silence wasn't the end of the story - it was the prelude to the greatest miracle of all.

Sometimes we may feel God is silent in our lives. We might wonder where He is or why He's not answering. But remember:

• God's silence doesn't mean inaction
• Our weakness showcases His strength  
• His grace is always sufficient

The cross and empty tomb remind us that God's love triumphs over our failures. He's not surprised by our struggles - He went to the cross because of them.

Whatever you're facing, don't lose heart. Sunday is coming. The resurrection power that conquered the grave is still at work today.

'For when I am weak, then I am strong.' - 2 Corinthians 12:10
