Keep Looking Up
Sermon by Mike Smith
How do we think and act right today, God has the answers. Let's learn to be a positive Christian.
Purging the temple
In 2 Chronicles 29 through chapter 31, Hezekiah reopened and cleansed the temple in Jerusalem and he invited all Israel to come to Zion, to the holy temple, to worship God.
After rededicating themselves to serving God, the people purged the land of idols.
Oh, that we would have the courage just to purge our hearts !
To purge ourselves of prejudice ,and the poison of pride !... To empty ourselves of ourselves and be filled with God and his Spirit!...
For the sake of peace , for the sake of unity , for the sake of saving the lost – what would you be willing to do?
Most of us are racist and don't even realize it , or prejudiced and don't see it , divisive or sectarian and deny it. In our rejecting to face our flaws and fix them , we reject the very Gospel that saved us!
How can we "be all things to all men" when we esteem ourselves better than others? How can we "live peaceably with ALL" when we look for bridges to burn , rather than mend? How can we possibly "Go into all the world and preach the Gospel" when we have made our world ,a small familiar circle?
If the Gospel confirmed anything other than the obvious , it confirmed that there is NO PLACE for racism , or prejudice in the Lord's body , mission, and purpose... NONE.
What have we become?
What have we let the media , politics, and FEAR do to us ,church?
Titus 2:11-12 " For the grace of God has appeared, bringing salvation for ALL PEOPLE, 12 training us to renounce ungodliness and worldly passions, and to live self-controlled, upright, and godly lives in the present age ..."
Come join us tomorrow , and lets "Purge Our Temples" and give thanks to our mighty God that his salvation is for ALL people , EVERYWHERE.
Come as you are , leave changed...
Living accountably by jory leong
We are accountable to God and to one another. Accountability to others is mentioned over 100 times in the New Testament and includes encouraging, guiding, and helping one another. We need accountability as part of the process of being a disciple of Christ. It provides encouragement and guidance to live according to God's word. Accountability can go wrong when we lose sight of our own sinfulness and God's gracious forgiveness. True accountability focuses on our relationship with God and others, not just external rules or actions. It aims to transform us more into Christ's likeness through his grace.

On our spiritual journey with God we should entrust ourselves to the grace of the Cross, fall into the loving arms of our Father and partner with the Holy Spirit to see His Kingdom established in and through us.
Why: Communion?
Communion depicts the ugliness of Jesus' crucifixion to portray our relationship with Him. While we feast on bread and wine, Jesus washes our feet through communion, showing that the service enacts our relationship with Him beyond just sharing a meal together with unwashed feet as a barrier. True obedience comes from the heart through identifying with Jesus' will and finding delight in His service after knowing Him through communion with God.
My goals on earth

1) The author's goal on earth is to live for Christ by magnifying Him in their life and teachings.
2) Their reward after death is gain because they will magnify Christ and be with Him in heaven, which is far better.
3) The author presses toward the goal of living for Christ for the reward of an upward call from God in heaven.
Thanks living
The document discusses the concept of "thanks-living," which is living a life of thanksgiving to God for His blessings. It encourages maintaining an intimate prayer life with God and seeking to live in a God-pleasing way. Thanks-living leads to joy and is vital for prayer, and setting a thankful example influences others positively. Thanksgiving should start from the heart and be part of a complete prayer life, and we must set the right example by being thankful in all circumstances. The document concludes by inviting the reader to enjoy a life filled with blessings through Jesus Christ.

Walking In The Light
This document discusses what it means to walk in the light based on several Bible passages. It means to live as Christ lived by keeping God's commandments and following His example. Christ is the source of our light, and we are commanded to walk as children of light by finding what pleases God in His word. The document encourages walking with God by agreeing with Him, walking uprightly and worthily in humility and love. It concludes by urging the reader to follow Jesus as the light of the world, not let Satan hinder them, and to hear, believe, repent of sins, confess Jesus, and be baptized into Christ.
The God Kind of Wisdom
This document discusses gaining godly wisdom. It begins by noting that wisdom should be the principle goal and comes from God. It then lists some blockers to wisdom like envy, self-seeking, and earthly desires. The document advocates developing godly qualities like purity, peacefulness, gentleness, mercy, and sincerity. It concludes by stating the godly wisdom involves righteous living guided by self-control according to God's word and the gospel of Christ.
Finding Jesus
The document discusses how to find Jesus. It says that while some say Jesus does not exist, others are interested in finding him. It then provides biblical references showing that people should seek Jesus with diligence and their whole heart. It notes Jesus pre-existed, was prophesied about, and was proven to have come as the leader and savior. The document concludes that Jesus can be found through studying scripture and coming to him, and that his message should be taught to all so they can be saved.
The truth is like a big mac!
The document compares the truth of God to a Big Mac hamburger in three ways:
1) You can only find the truth in the church, just as you can only find a Big Mac at McDonald's.
2) The truth has the right ingredients (no compromises) according to the Bible, just as a Big Mac has the standard ingredients.
3) Some people do not like the truth any more than some do not like Big Macs, but finding and accepting the truth, like eating a Big Mac, satisfies and provides sustenance for life.
New Testament Commands 9
This document lists 177 New Testament commands from the books of Luke and John. Some of the commands include instructions to pray regularly, ask God for daily provision and forgiveness, give to those in need, beware of hypocrisy and covetousness, and remember God's commands to love others.

David's Many Giants
- The document discusses various lessons that can be learned from the life of King David, including his victory over Goliath as a young shepherd, sparing Saul's life when he had the chance to take revenge, listening to Abigail's wisdom to not kill Nabal in anger, and admitting his sin of adultery with Bathsheba after Nathan confronted him.
- It encourages learning from both David's triumphs and mistakes, recognizing and destroying the "giants" of fear, anger, lust, and revenge in our own lives, and being ready to face threats by putting on God's armor and using his word.

Quick to listen,Slow to speak, Slow to anger
God is good to all people and wants believers to interact properly with others. The document outlines three things we should do in our interactions: 1) be quick to listen and get all the facts before making decisions, 2) be slow to speak and think carefully before speaking to avoid harm, and 3) be slow to wrath since anger does not produce righteousness. Following these will help believers develop strong relationships through proper communication and behavior that honors God.

The source of this knowledge is Christ, and it is obtained through study of scripture. Gaining knowledge should cause growth and increase responsibility. The conclusion stresses that we are often responsible for our own ignorance, and that eternity depends on applying our biblical knowledge in life.
What Mothers Need
Mothers need husbands who are spiritual leaders and encouragers. They need commitment to the Lord and His word to impart faith to their children.

Blessed Generation

A375 Example Taste the taste of the Lord, the taste of the Lord The taste of...
It seems that current missionary work requires spending a lot of money, preparing a lot of materials, and traveling to far away places, so that it feels like missionary work. But what was the result they brought back? It's just a lot of photos of activities, fun eating, drinking and some playing games. And then we have to do the same thing next year, never ending. The church once mentioned that a certain missionary would go to the field where she used to work before the end of his life. It seemed that if she had not gone, no one would be willing to go. The reason why these missionary work is so difficult is that no one obeys God’s words, and the Bible is not the main content during missionary work, because in the eyes of those who do not obey God’s words, the Bible is just words and cannot be connected with life, so Reading out God's words is boring because it doesn't have any life experience, so it cannot be connected with human life. I will give a few examples in the hope that this situation can be changed. A375
