Good Friday service on Right Standing with God and Light Living with God.

Matthew 9:18-26 When you come to Jesus, you'll be more burdened than you could ever imagine and more blessed than you could ever believe.

Every human is on a search for the good life. And society assures us the only wrong path to take is the one forced upon us. But how often do we stop to consider if the path we are taking is fulfilling its promises? 2,000 years ago, Jesus of Nazareth made the audacious claim that He is the only way to the good life (Jn. 14:6). According to Jesus, our apprenticeship to Him will lead to a life filled with love, peace, and joy. But this abundant life doesn’t happen from mere mental assent. It is a life that spends its time: (1) being with Jesus, (2) becoming like Jesus, and (3) doing what Jesus did. In tonight's message, we will cover the different paths people take and discover how Jesus is the only one delivering on His promise. Matthew 9:9-17

“Were we always this lonely and embittered?” – The Atlantic Title: Misery Loves Company Matthew 8:23-27 They didn’t reach out for Jesus’ authority; the disciples just wanted His company. Misery loves company but needs authority. Matthew 8:28-34 “The point of this story, then, is that the Jesus who has authority to teach people, as he was doing in the Sermon on the Mount, also has authority over disease both close at hand and at a distance; over the lives of people who want to follow him; and over the winds and waves on the lake, and over the shadowy forces of evil, however we think about them or describe them.” – N.T. Wright They’d rather stay in their loneliness so they can stick to their lawlessness. Misery loves company but needs community. “Nothing can be more cruel than the leniency which abandons others to their sin. Nothing can be more compassionate than the severe reprimand which calls another Christian in one’s community back from the path of sin.” – Dietrich Bonhoeffer Matthew 9:1-8 Your woundedness and wickedness keep you from full deliverance. Misery loves company but needs forgiveness.

Notes: Isaiah 53:3-4 Title: Amazing Jesus Lord, I don’t understand You, but I trust You. Matthew 8:1-4 1. Jesus isn’t just good, Jesus is God. 2. Jesus isn’t just a teacher, Jesus is the Temple. Matthew 8:5-13 God’s favor isn’t rooted in behavior. God’s favor is rooted in a Savior. Luke 7:4-5 1. Self-Righteousness 2. Self-Rejection “Faith that amazes Jesus emerges from a person that is amazed by Jesus.” Rich Vollidas Matthew 8:8-9 “Think of authority this way: the capacity for meaningful action. When you have authority, what you do, or do not do, makes a meaningful difference in the world around you.” Andy Crouch God’s authority doesn’t come to those who manifest their destiny, it comes to those who confess Christ’s divinity. Matthew 8:14-17 “God is always faithful, but he is extremely unpredictable. You cannot rely on your assumptions about what he will or will not do… Look at the apostles in the early days of the Church. Peter was supernaturally delivered out of prison from the edge of Herod’s sword, the same sword which only days previously beheaded James the Son of Thunder… So why all the difficulty? Why does God insist that the world remain unyieldingly chaotic? My conclusion is this: only in a world where faith is difficult can faith exist. Only in a world where pain is real can love be proved.” Andy Squyres Lord, I don’t fully understand You, but I fully trust You.

Daniel 9 CSB Your anxiety for the future is often rooted in the shame of your past.

Daniel 7 marks a transition in the book. We are now learning about the future of the world. Daniel 7 CSB

What do I want from life? Or what does life want from me?

You will never escape the prison of pain if your purpose is shaped by covetous gain. Daniel 4 CSB

Today, biblical courage is either minimized or misapplied. Daniel 3 teaches us what true courage looks like in Christ.

I had the honor to guest speak at Cornerstone Prescott. In this message, I wrestle with the practice of silence to become a person of love. Luke 1 CSB

A look at the life & faith of Mary, the mother of Jesus. Luke 1 & 2

Why celebrate Christmas? To rejoice in the first coming of Christ and look forward to His 2nd and 3rd coming. The characters of Christmas remind us God’s delays are not God’s denials. In the midst of heartache, we can hold to the Christmas truth that God is not punishing us but preparing us. Luke 1 CSB

In our journey with Jesus, we learn the beauty of changing the outcomes of the world around us and in us through the power of the Spirit. However, some symphonies remain unfinished. This, too, can bring glory to God and joy to the church. John 21:18-25 Part 7 in the Stages of the Christian Life

We cannot address the stages of the Christian life without also addressing the stages of emotional maturity. 1 Peter 2

What is God's will for my life? Part 4 of the "Stages of the Christian Life" Psalm 32:8-9

Death or life is determined by the look. John 3:1-17

In the first half of the Christian life, we carelessly squander the father's love. In the second half of the Christian life, we callously squander the father's love. Luke 15:11-32

We learn from Paul’s letter to Galatia that we were created to be formed fully into the image of Jesus, but many feel stuck in their spiritual growth. Using a map of spiritual growth, we can begin to envision what God has next for our lives. Galatians 4:8-11, 19

Reality isn’t what most of us expected it to be. As each year goes by, our anxiety and despair drive us to long for the coming of Christ and the end of the world. But are we putting our hope in the right place? Are we being lulled and intoxicated like the rest of the world? 1 Thessalonians 5:1-11

The North star for our generation is to keep showing that we’re growing! This embedded growth obligation has led us to assume that grief cannot coexist with belief. But what do we do when grief knocks on our door? What happens when a plague halts all our progress? We can grieve without hope through the practice of ignorance and illusion or we can grieve with hope by embracing the death and resurrection of Jesus. 1 Thessalonians 4:13-18

Why are we in such outrage and how do we get out of it? The Apostle Paul gives us a way forward.

Our generation has a fragmented view of the flesh and freedom. As a result, unbelievers see the commands of God as oppressive and repressive. Conversely, many believers see these commands as desirable yet impossible. We are not without hope. Through the blood of Christ and the discipline of the body, we can experience true freedom apart from the flesh. 1 Thessalonians 4:1-8 CSB

Satan is a tempter, accuser, and deceiver. 1 Thessalonians 2:17-3:5

Our digital world normalizes rebellion against God and incentivizes retaliation against man. This is why we need to take a step back from it all. 1 Thessalonians 2:13-16 CSB

In a world full of fakers and movers, we desperately need spiritual fathers and mothers. 1 Thessalonians 2:1-12 CSB
