Learn from Me, for I Am - Continued
Palm Sunday message about the meekness of Christ. Meekness is the disposition that strips away everything in your life that stands between Gods purpose and the world around you, through you. And what are those things that corrupt the simplicity in Christ. Your rights and your possessions. Thats one reason why there are so many Christians who are satisfied to marvel at Jesus from afar, but unwilling to truly follow Him. It’s a trust issue

The Rat Race
It's hard to do what's right when you have nothing left. It seems like we never have enough time, or are we just not being wise with the time we actually have? If an unbalanced life leads to an ungodly life, we must begin to make Jesus the one who is in control of how we spend our time.

Rest is an Inside Job
“RUNNING ON EMPTY” Rest is an Inside Job Scripture: Matthew 11:28-30 Isaiah 40:11; 30-31 “It does not differ with me whether I am in prayer or hearing the noise and clutter of my kitchen, while several persons are at the same time calling for things, I possess God in as great tranquility as if I were upon my knees.” Stated by Brother Lawrence in The Practice of the Presence of God over 200 years ago 28 “Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. 29 Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. 30 For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.” JESUS OFFERS THREE SOLUTIONS. 1. “Come to Me” 2. “Take My yoke upon you” 3. “Learn from Me” WHY ARE THESE SOLUTIONS SUCH A BIG DEAL? 1. Why come to Him? Because you will find rest for your soul! 2. Why take His yoke? Because it will be the best fit for you. 3. Why learn from Him? Because you will learn how to rest while working. TWO POWERFUL SYMBOLS THAT BRING HOPE FOR US CHANGE. (Isaiah 40:11; 30-31) 1. He tends His flock like a Shepherd: He gathers the lambs in his arms and carries them close to His heart. He gently leads those that have young. 2. Those who wait upon the Lord will soar like eagles and never grow weary

Hurried Sickness: Causes and Cures
“RUNNING ON EMPTY” Hurried Sickness: Causes and Cures Scripture: Luke 12:15-21 Mark 6:30-32; 45-46 Hurried sickness is a pattern of going too fast and doing too much for too long that leaves you feeling physically emotionally, relationally, spiritually exhausted and empty. Three illusions that lead to hurried sickness: 1. The quick and easy illusion-things in life should be quick and easy. 2. The illusion of moreism -more stuff will make us more happy. 3. The illusion of control -we are in control of our lives and our future Three confusions that lead to hurried sickness: 1. The urgent overshadows the important. 2. The temporary becomes a substitute for the eternal. 3. Activity replaces intimacy. Four quick and easy steps for conquering hurried sickness: 1. Practice the spiritual discipline of slowing. (Tip: leave earlier). 2. Build rest and recovery time into your schedule (Tip: schedule your priorities). 3. Reduce, discard and simplify. (Tip: turn off the TV). 4. Review your priorities. (Tip: annual retreat for personal reflection).

Finding Rest
Life comes at us in many directions, and we wonder why we feel spiritually empty. We can enjoy God's rest if we recognize our responsibility and realize our limitations. We have to give our burdens to God then be ready to leave them with Him. Also, rest comes as we link up with Jesus. By walking alongside Him, we'll become more like Him and enjoy His peace.

Nehemiah 10: We declare
This Sunday we continue our series on the book of Nehemiah. As we journey through this classic book we will see how God has called us to be the church and impact the city. Today we look at Nehemiah 10. The Jews delcare this day in a document of great importance to mirror the faithfulness of God. This document is full of promises to be faithful to God and His Word. The Jews long to be faithful at home, in their rest, at work and in the community of believers. With this new year what will you make of first importance? What will you declare with your life in 2008?

Genesis, A new beginning for a new year
God had a plan for the world before He founded it. He spoke the worlds into existence, then created Adam and Eve. God has a plan for us for the coming year. Whenever God gives us a plan, it will be a big plan, you're going to have to speak out what you desire, what that plan is, then you're going to have to get to work, doing what you know to do. Finally, having done all, to stand. REST.

The Lord of the Sabbath
As the Lord of the Sabbath (Luke 6:5), Jesus challenged the scribes and Pharisees to rethink their understanding of Sabbath work regulations. His priorities should be ours when we consider New Testament truth. For example, is the Christian Sunday properly regulated by a modern version of Old Testament Sabbath requirements? What would the Lord of the Sabbath say?

A Passion for His Presence - Pt. 1 - Come to Jesus, And Rest!
Without God's presence and voice, we're sunk! Yet too often we come to church, but miss coming to Jesus himself---leaving us frustrated and weary in our Christian life. Jesus said to the burnt-out and exhausted, "Come to ME" (not religion). . ."and I will give you rest."

Where True Strength Is Found
"In repentance and rest is your salvation, in quietness and trust is your strength." It's a beautiful, poetic scripture, but maybe that's the problem. We see it as beautiful and poetic and that may cause us to not see it as what it is. It sounds good, but does the truth of this verse really work in the real struggles of life?

Soul Prosperity
We need to live in God’s righteousness, peace and joy on the inside all the time, not just cry out to God for it when we are in a crisis. Our soul is prospering when we are walking in step with Holy Spirit.

Shepherds and Sheep: Part 1
Jesus uses vocations within His culture to teach about Himself and His message: At end of each day, after leading his flock to graze, a shepherd would bring his sheep home and place them in a community pen. This pen, normally having a 10-12 foot high wall and one door, was guarded by a porter throughout the night, keeping watch against thieves and wild animals. In the morning, the shepherd/owner would come back, identify himself, and then identify his sheep by calling to them. The sheep would confirm their owner by responding to his voice...
