Upside Down Living: Blessed are those who mournStephen Palm
This is the second sermon in the Upside-Down Living series in which we look at Jesus' second beatitude, Blessed are those who mourn, for they shall be comforted. We will explore the ways in which God comforts us, both during times of profound loss and times of conviction over personal and shared sin. We will also look at the way that God uses our fellow believers to comfort us in these same areas. The key challenge is to make ourselves available to God so that we can become a source of comfort to others.
Taking care of your soul. A transformation of our conscience, reason, imagination, mind, emotions, choice and will is absolutely necessary to be aligned with the renewed Spirit that is already in us. In order to attain this, the Holy Spirit needs to be in control, bringing a complete renewal.
Upside Down Living: They who hunger and thirst after righteousnessStephen Palm

What does the future look like? Is it a dark space where we’re suffering from varying degrees of techamphetamine or are we heading towards a Utopian fantasy of abundance and harmony?
Understanding that our basic human needs and wants barely change, we explore the future state of a range of topics; from our need for physical sustenance through to our age-long fascination of transcending the limitations of our biology.
Looking at the future from a human perspective, our potential for greatness is teetering on a fine line between darkness and hope. We’re banking on the latter.
Jesus commands us to be anxious for nothing and to always rejoice but how is this possible? In this lesson we will discuss how to do it. Joy vs Anxiousness sermon can be listened to at www.cmcoc.org Sermon by: Brian Birdow
Contentment is an elusive pursuit and we chase after things that we hope would make us happy only to find that it doesn’t last. The message highlights that contentment is an inner assurance of God’s goodness that produces joy and gratitude despite the external circumstances. Lessons and principles from Paul’s testimony teaches believers that contentment is a virtue that needs to be learnt. True contentment comes from living a life in the fear of Lord and affirming the supremacy of Christ in our day to day challenges.
Life is a relentless series of tests, trials and temptations inconspicuously designed to strengthen, mature and bless us. James exhorts the Christian, facing life's troubles, to "count it all joy." How it that possible when confronting cancer, pumulted with physical or emotional pain, battling an addiction, burdened with bills, stressed by marital or family strife, or concerned for our country? Why is "counting it all joy" good mental health as well as spiritually wise? How are you responding to tests and temptations?
Knowledge makes people arrogant. This concept seems to be completely different from the world’s thinking. If I learn more, then I should know the breadth of knowledge. I should be like a learned person, and I should be more humble. But why the Bible said so, if this is a truth that violates the rules of the world. In this chapter, let us carefully look for the truth of the Bible for detail analysis.

When we preach, if our goal is to make others understand the content of the preaching according to the world’s methods. Is this God’s will?

Another lesson from the Practical Christian Living (PCL) course, Diploma in Ministry Essentials (DME) program addressing the topic of spiritual growth and spiritual maturity from a biblical perspective using object lessons from the natural world.
Can you remember the joy of first receiving Christ? Why is it, that as we grow in Christ we sometimes know more, but experience the joy less. It's choice. In any relationship it requires a degree of effort to keep the joy in the relationship. Lord, Please return the joy to us.

In Jude 17-23 Jude shifts from piling up examples of false teachers from the Old Testament to a series of practical exhortations that flow from apostolic instruction. He preserves for us what may well have been part of the apostolic catechism for the first generation of Christ-followers. In these instructions Jude exhorts the believer to deal with 3 different groups of people: scoffers who are "devoid of the Spirit", believers who have come under the influence of scoffers and believers who are so entrenched in false teaching that they need rescue and pose some real spiritual risk for the rescuer. In all of this Jude emphasizes Jesus' call to rescue straying sheep, leaving the 99 safely behind and pursuing the 1.

Homily: The Solemnity of the Most Holy Trinity Sunday 2024.docxJames Knipper
Countless volumes have been written trying to explain the mystery of three persons in one true God, leaving us to resort to metaphors such as the three-leaf clover to try to comprehend the Divinity. Many of us grew up with the quintessential pyramidal Trinity structure of God at the top and Son and Spirit in opposite corners. But what if we looked at this ‘mystery’ from a different perspective? What if we shifted our language of God as a being towards the concept of God as love? What if we focused more on the relationship within the Trinity versus the persons of the Trinity? What if stopped looking at God as a noun…and instead considered God as a verb? Check it out…

•
•
•

•
•
Taking control of the chaos, not being passive
Stepping out of your comfort zone
Getting out of the boat and walking on the water
Decisive action against the odds
Standing up to pressure
Enduring the tough stuff
Not compromising your values and beliefs
Knowing who you are – a citizen of Heaven
Knowing that you are bigger than you think you are!
Knowing who God is
Knowing what is right and true
Believing that with God there are no limits!

Intellectual Courage - Paul
Political Courage – Esther & Mordecai
Courage To Face Life’s Struggles - Job

4. The Courage of Jesus
• Hebrews 4:14-16 14 Therefore, since we have a
great high priest who has passed through the
heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast
our confession. 15 For we do not have a high priest
who cannot sympathize with our weaknesses, but
One who has been tempted in all things as we
are, yet without sin. 16 Therefore let us draw near
with confidence to the throne of grace, so that we
may receive mercy and find grace to help in time
of need.
5. The Disciple’s Courage
• Matthew 10:26-33 26 “Therefore do not fear them, for
there is nothing concealed that will not be revealed, or
hidden that will not be known. 27 What I tell you in the
darkness, speak in the light; and what you ear whispered
in your ear, proclaim upon the housetops. 28 Do not fear
those who kill the body but are unable to kill the soul; but
rather fear Him who is able to destroy both soul and body
in hell. 29 Are not two sparrows sold for a cent?
And yet not one of them will fall to the ground apart from
your Father.30 But the very hairs of your head are all
numbered. 31 So do not fear; you are more valuable than
many sparrows. 32 “Therefore everyone who confesses
Me before men, I will also confess him before My Father
who is in heaven. 33 But whoever denies Me before men, I
will also deny him before My Father who is in heaven.
6. Stand Firm In The Lord
• Philippians 4:1 Therefore, my beloved
brethren whom I long to see, my joy and
crown, in this way stand firm in the Lord, my
beloved.
• The place of our courage is “in the Lord”, to
stand firm in our faith and in what we truly
believe about Jesus Christ.
7. The Courage To Make Up
• Philippians 4:2 I urge Euodia and I urge
Syntyche to live in harmony in the Lord.
• Sometimes our greatest act of courage is to
apologize to someone we have offended or to
cooperate cheerfully with others when things
don’t suit us.
8. Life’s Tough But Your Name
Is In The Book
• Philippians 4:3 3 Indeed, true companion, I ask you
also to help these women who have shared my
struggle in the cause of the gospel, together with
Clement also and the rest of my fellow workers,
whose names are in the book of life.
• Job 5:7 Man is made for trouble as sparks fly upward
• 1 Peter 5:7 Casting all your anxieties upon Him for He
cares for you!
9. Have A Joyful Attitude
• Philippians 4:4 4 Rejoice in the Lord always;
again I will say, rejoice!
• The joy of the lord is our strength and
increases our courage, on the other hand
pessimism and hopelessness weaken us.
10. Don’t Over-React
• Philippians 4:5 5 Let your gentleness be
evident to all. The Lord is near.
• Be reasonable and gentle in your action and
reactions and you will be showing that you are
truly a strong person. People who over-react
and blow up cannot face the really tough
times.
11. Pray Don’t Worry
• Philippians 4:6,7 6 Do not be anxious about
anything, but in every situation, by prayer and
petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests
to God. 7 And the peace of God, which transcends
all understanding, will guard your hearts and your
minds in Christ Jesus.
• A recent German study found that prayer
increases self-control, courage and the ability to
have willpower under temptation.
12. Develop A Good Mental Focus Point
• Philippians 4:8 8 Finally, brothers and sisters,
whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever
is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely,
whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent
or praiseworthy—think about such things.
• The Focus Point Matters: The mind set on the
flesh is death, but the mind set on the Spirit is
life and peace (Romans 8:4-6)
13. Put Faith Into Practice
• Philippians 4:9 9 Whatever you have learned
or received or heard from me, or seen in me—
put it into practice. And the God of peace will
be with you.
• A soldier’s training and constant practice
enables them to face the battle.
14. Don’t Go It Alone!
• Philippians 4:10 10 But I rejoiced in the Lord
greatly that now at last your care for me has
flourished again; though you surely did care,
but you lacked opportunity.
• Paul was encouraged by the kindness of the
Philippians, we all need practical
encouragement; no matter how strong we
may think that we are.
15. Adaptability and Contentment
• Philippians 4:11,12 11 Not that I speak in regard to
need, for I have learned in whatever state I am, to be
content: 12 I know how to be abased, and I know how
to abound. Everywhere and in all things I have
learned both to be full and to be hungry, both to
abound and to suffer need.
• The Special Forces soldier can operate under all
conditions of war and environment, they can eat
bugs or eat steak. They are flexible, adaptable and
strong. On the other hand the weak person
complains about everything.
16. Confidence in Christ’s Power
• Philippians 4:13 13 I can do all things through
Christ who strengthens me.
• It is Christ who strengthens you! The spiritual
power of Jesus living in you is that which
causes you to “do all things” and to be able to
adapt to all of the changes and circumstances
of life. With Jesus you “can always cope”!
17. A Prayer For Courage
• Heavenly Father, you have called us to courage and we
cannot live well in this fallen world without it.
Therefore grant us faith and courage and boldness and
power; with contentment and all endurance.
Give us the grace to face life courageously and head-on.
Change our thinking and cause us to believe, that we can
indeed do all things, through Christ who strengthens us!
In Jesus Name. Amen.
