The contact between the feet of obedience and faith and the river of obstacles produced a hydrokinetic reaction that instantly blew back the flow of the water. God! Exactly what happened at the Red Sea when Moses pointed his staff over it. The east wind came immediately to hold back the great water. The wind and the water are His servants. No wonder, the disciples of Jesus shouted that day, “What manner of man is this that even the wind and the sea obey Him.” What God did yesterday, He is also able to do today.

Have you ever noticed that anxious thoughts are like a broken record?
I know with Ipods etc. it’s a bit outdated to be using a record analogy here but it works well to illustrate a key point about anxious thoughts.
Remember when a record got scratched it made a very unpleasant sound and caused the needle to get stuck on the same groove.
The same one line would play over and over again ad nauseam until you picked up the needle and moved it past the scratch.
Anxious thoughts are bit like this. You might be happily going about your day and then something triggers an anxious thought.
The worry the thought creates sends an unpleasant shock wave through your nervous system. (The scratch on the record).
Then once you start reacting to the anxious thought it is hard to stop thinking about it over and over again. (The needle stuck in a groove)
The repetitive anxious thought can last minutes, hours , days depending on how upset you become by the thought.
I want to share with you a quick technique to jump out of this anxious groove. This technique is you learning how to pick up the record needle and move it past the scratch.

If you have ever had what has become known as a “panic attack,” take comfort in the fact that you are by no means alone.
A panic attack always comes with the acute sense of impending doom. You feel you are either about to lose your mind or one of your vital bodily functions is about to cease functioning and you will end your days right there among the canned goods and frozen food.
You are by no means alone; you’re not even one in a million. In America, it is estimated that almost 5% of the population suffer from some form of anxiety disorder. For some, it may be the infrequent panic attacks that only crop up in particular situations-like when having to speak in front of others, while, for other people, it can be so frequent and recurring that it inhibits them from leaving their home.
Frequent panic attacks often develop into what medical physicians refer to as an “anxiety disorder.”
One of the first steps to regaining control of your life is getting helpful information.

What is the greatest miracle you have ever witnessed? There is not greater miracle than a change of heart and soul. Even the Believer must remain open and committed to "contining conversion". Zacchaeus reminds us of what conversion looks like - a total change in "operating system".
Mt 17:20 So Jesus said to them, "Because of your unbelief; for assuredly, I say to you, if you have faith as a mustard seed, you will say to this mountain, 'Move from here to there,' and it will move; and nothing will be impossible for you.

Sermon Slide Deck: "The Mission of Jesus" (Luke 19:1-10)New City Church
The mission of Jesus is to seek and to save the lost.
This message was given on January 8, 2017 at New City Church in Calgary by Pastor John Ferguson. For more info, please visit: www.newcitychurch.ca.
The story of Zacchaeus' is akin to Charles Dickens Christmas Carol. It is the story of a miserly, grieving and thieving man who is radically transformed by Jesus. It is a great story of second chances and grace... a sort of Easter Carol of life change.

PREFACE.
We sometimes see a bright jewel which has many
smooth polished sides or surfaces. It is pleasant to
take up such a jewel ; turn it carefully over ; look at
its many surfaces, one after another, and notice the
different views they present of the beauty shining
out from that precious stone.
Now, the character and work of the Lord Jesus
Christ, our blessed Saviour, may well be compared
to such a jewel. There are very many sides to this
jewel. And there is a wonderful variety in the rays
of light and loveliness, that shine out from these
different sides. No two of them are exactly alike.
It is an interesting and profitable study to examine
this jewel carefully, and see the amazing brightness
and beauty that are hid in it, and are all the time
shining out from it.

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.

2. Luke 19:1-10
1. Jesus entered Jericho and was passing through. 2. And behold,
there was a man named Zacchaeus. He was a chief tax collector
and was rich. 3. And he was seeking to see who Jesus was, but on
account of the crowd he could not, because he was short in
stature. 4. So he ran on ahead and climbed up into a sycamore
tree to see him, for he was about to pass that way. 5. And when
Jesus came to that place, he looked up and said to him,
3. “Zacchaeus, hurry and come down, for I must stay at your house
today.” 6. So he hurried and came down & received him joyfully. 7.
And when they saw it, they all grumbled saying “He has gone in
to be the guest of a man who is a sinner.” 8. And Zacchaeus stood
and said to the Lord, “Behold, Lord, the half of my goods I give to
the poor. And if I have defrauded anyone of anything, I will
restore it fourfold.” 9. And Jesus said to him “Today salvation has
come to this house, since he is also a son of Abraham. 10. For the
Son of Man came to seek and save the lost.”
5. The measure to which we see Jesus is the
measure to which we are more like Him
