What To Do With Our Joy
As we finish our series in the Psalms on the emotional life of God's people, we look at joy as our last subject. What keeps us from joy? What encourages our Joy? What is the foundation for our joy? It’s an important subject since all other messages ultimately serve to bring us through them to the soul-satisfying experience of finding our greatest delight and joy in the One for whom our souls long.

Living a Life of Gospel Intentionality
Kaleo SDSU is taking a couple weeks to explore what it means and what it practically looks like to be intentional with the gospel through all of life. We will be investigating the book of Mark for insight into how Jesus brought the gospel to every situation and trained his disciples to do the same. We are called not to separate our life into religious, pagan, hobby, service, parenting, work and gospel intentionality but is instead a life that sees the gospel as the motivation and center of all we do.

A Vision For Serving Our God
Distracting Ourselves with Service: A Call to Know the God We Are Serving If you look at Luke 10:40, there is a remarkable statement. Luke says that Martha was distracted by much service. Of course the service he was talking about was her serving Jesus. Does this shock you? Did you know that serving God could actually be a distraction, not a good thing? Most of us feel like serving God is always a good thing don't we? But then we sometimes wonder why serving God makes us so anxious, self-righteous, or tired. Today I want to talk about when service becomes a distraction and how we can learn to serve God in a way that encourages us and draws us toward him, instead of distracting us from him and leaving us feeling frustrated, tired and confused.

What To Do With Our Desires
Each day we are faced with a choice between two desires: the desire between the deceitful desire for sin and the Spirit-inspired desire for God. However, we can sing for joy because the judgment that all our idolatry and sinful desires deserved fell upon Him as He tucked us under His wing and was our shield in our greatest moment of need.

What To Do With Our Depression
We were not made for depression. Our bodies can not run on the fuel and sadness that depression feeds upon. We lose ourselves and break down. God’s glory is diminished and our ability to share His glory with others is significantly hindered. In times of spiritual drought we have to start preaching, start speaking, start talking to ourselves. Grab your soul by its shoulders and start preaching the Gospel to it.

A Vision for the Order of Service at Kaleo El Cajon
Have you ever gone to a church service and wondered why it flowed the way it did? As we begin our services in El Cajon, we want to take some time and explain exactly why we are doing what we are doing. We will answer questions like: "Why do we take communion every week? Why do we preach the way we do? What is the purpose of the benediction? Why do we take an offering? Why do we sing the kind of songs we sing?" and many similar questions.

What To Do With Our Guilt
Guilt often produces shame because as we come to see that we’ve done wrong, we begin to feel that we’re not being who we believe we should be. When you lie to someone, you not only feel guilt for lying, but you feel shame because you see how much of a coward you are, or how much of a conman you are. Shame brings you face-to-face with the inconsistency of your identity. With guilt, the solution is to have your sins atoned for, the penalty to be paid. With shame, the response is a desire for glory, to be covered.

What To Do With Our Tears
So what do we do with our tears? How are we to handle our grief and sorrow? What can help us when our souls are so sorrowful that they bleed tears? Psalms 126 and 39 will help us to know how to understand our tears as well as how to practice emotional honesty before a God who well understands our tears, understands our pain, and understands what it feels like to cry out in agony. Jesus received our rejection. Jesus experienced the pain of loss. Jesus experienced the sorrow and alienation our sins deserved.

What To Do With Our Doubt
It wasn't until Asaph went to the sanctuary of God, until he was able to gain God's eternal perspective and saw that and see that God is both in control and good and could say: Whom have I in heaven but you? And there is nothing on earth that I desire besides you. My flesh and my heart may fail, but God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever.

What To Do With Our Anger
We are continuing our series of discussions that are intended to help us take a closer look at our emotional life. How do we handle anger? The beauty of Psalm 137, as graphic as it is, is that it shows us that by pouring out our emotional life before God in prayer, by being honest with how we’re really feeling, by not stuffing our emotions down, our anger can be kept from turning into an unrighteous outburst.
