Notes from church sermon

Hurry saps joy out of life. You dont enjoy life. Therefore, get down on knees and pray as a family

"Lord, teach us to number our days"
"Lord, relent, please have mercy on us"
It is about changing our attitude, not counting our days. Making wise use of the time we have. We are like new grass in the morning but withered grass in the evening.
Ps 90
God is angry at sin and sinners.

Wise families would do the math.
   In vain you rise up early and stay up late...Get rest. Enjoy sleeping. He gives sleep to those whom He loves.
   Enjoy eating. Good food. Don't hurry.
Discover the one thing that really matters...Love God and your neighboor as yourself....because nothing in this life that you do will matter, unless you love God. Whatever you do, do for the glory of God. Run everything through this "pipe". We were made to magnify God.

Are you teaching your children to feed on the Word of God?
How do you spend your time and money? Teach your kids the importance of loving and serving.
Wise families will let go of clutter, the stuff that keeps them from doing the important thing.

Declare war on hurry! Ruthlessly eliminate hurry from your life.

Its not what you do, but why or for whom you do it.

You have trouble in your life to humble you and test you. Live not by bread alone but by every Word proceeding out of the mouth of God.

To work on time

I had the intention of leaving to work on time this morning, but I left late because the freezing rain last night froze my door shut, and windows required heavy scraping. I was able to get in the car after some prying, and scraped a "hole" big enough to see ahead of me through the windshield (not best practice). After asking the Lord for help in getting to work on time, I arrived safely, and with a minute to spare :) Praise God!

How do you know you have a servant heart?

 Gen 39:9 One way you know walking through a field if it's ready for harvest is when it is bending towards the earth. If you want to be happy in serving Jesus there's only one fulfillment in getting true joy: how much can you give... Jesus says let me show you how my kingdom works... When he washed his friends feet Do you want to be great in His kingdom? That is how you get that position... To be a servant of all, esteem everyone better than yourself

New Wineskins

Read Luke 5:33-39 When God is doing something inside of you there will be pressure and there will be adjustment that will be required. Old wineskins can't handle the pressure. Are you looking for God to give you something new? Perhaps you're not getting it because you're not ready for the pressure. Old. Old wineskins. Dry resistant brittle not flexible...dry spiritualy, cracks easily...when the littlest things begin to crack and offend you easily... Resistant to change. Young vision. Old wineskins is not about age but about vision. One can be old in age but have a young vision... New. New wineskins. Jesus came to the Jews first. But He couldn't find many old wine skins that were willing to be renewed.
