Jonathan and his armor bearer showed faith move and wait on the Lord in fighting their enemy.

David stepped up to face Goliath, but he had to face personal opposition even before he was ready to meet Goliath. He had to overcome how people viewed him and even his family treated him. But he found strength in the Lord of Host and King of heaven's armies.

We should build our foundation on the Rock who is Jesus and his holy word.

We are not there yet, but to get there we must fear God, Obey God and Love God.

The Lord is our Shepherd and we depend on him for our provision and protection.

Living Example

Husband and Wives are happier when they abided by the House Rules. These rules are established by the Heavenly Father. Marital bliss comes in trusting in God and serving him as one serves their spouse.

What started out as rumor became revelation of the true Messiah, Jesus Christ.

When you serve the least of these you serve the King. Will you look to serve the least? Are you a sheep or a goat?

What I would like to bring to our attention in this text is how Jesus looks to 1) Provide Rest 2) Provide Teaching for those seeking him and 3) Provided nourishment for them in the wilderness until they were all satisfied.

Jesus shows us that loving our neighbor is to be compassionate to all we meet no matter race, ethnicity, poor or rich. We are to have love for our neighbor as we love God.

God's compassion is shown to us who are in need of forgiveness, love and mercy. God's compassion comes to us even when we hurt him and are guilty of sin.

Old me is gone. The new me is alive in Christ and living to please him.

Died with Christ means to be alive to have life with him. The life one now lives reflects the characteristics of Christ and his teachings. This will lead one to draw closer to the Lord to better know his grace and the joy of salvation. This desire will then see the futility of the dead world and its fleeting presentation. What Jesus has to for his followers is eternal and joyous. The issue one has with death is that it is a permanent ending of something. Since we died with Christ we should rejoice to see that death and sin have been permanently defeated by Jesus on the Cross when he became our sin offering in taking on our sins. So this grace work that was done for us should now change how we live. We should now live in fellowship and relationship with Jesus and the church. Not living through routines and practices but seeing that Christ is what makes up our religion and not being mislead by world and ones own worldly thoughts. We must see God’s grace and come to know its work in our life through Jesus

The fullness of Christ can be experienced by following him and living in him by trusting in his word and living out his word.

Paul struggles to share the message of Christ. We too need to struggle and fight to show Christ to all we know and share his awesome love.

Jesus is the first, the head and supreme of all. Ones life is different when the Lord of all is over you life.

To live worthy of the Lord is to pray God will fill you with his wisdom and understanding for spiritual living and his power to have patience to live as light in light in the world full of darkness.

Faith, Love and Hope come from ones obedience and understanding of God's Word.

Life is full of trials and tabulations and may come with no warning. However with Jesus there is no need to fear what will or may come.
